Sally’s Apizza opens a new location at Dorchester’s South Bay Center (9 District Ave.) on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
The business launched as a humble New Haven, Conn. pizzeria in 1938, selling sooty, charred Neapolitan pies — the simple tomato sauce version is a longtime fan favorite.
Today, there are multiple Connecticut branches. The first Boston-area venue launched in Woburn in 2023 to much anticipation and long lines.
There are 10 pizzas on the Dorchester menu: classics like mozzarella and tomato, plus specialties like clam, potato and rosemary, and bacon apple. In a nod to modernity, there is also more than pizza. In addition to Italian entrees like eggplant and chicken parm, there are handhelds (burgers, spicy chicken) and snacks like wings and arancini.
To drink: Sally’s signature Foxon Park soda or a wide array of cocktails, from daiquiris to whiskey sours.
It’s open daily from 11:30 a.m., and they take reservations. Delivery begins on Tuesday, Oct. 7. The brand will continue to expand in the Boston area, with locations to come in Concord and the Seaport.
