For locals, neighborhood gatherings, and families who frequent the streets of Jamaica Plain, the beloved pizza spot, Captain Nemo's, located at 367 Centre Street, has been a staple for over 25 years. However, the end of an era is approaching for the community, with the announcement that Captain Nemo's is set to close on October 1, 2023, as reported by NBC Boston.
The longstanding pizzeria took to Facebook to announce their plans for retirement, giving its patrons the chance to say their farewells, "Come say goodbye we would love to see you! We have been here in JP for 25 years and are thankful to the neighborhood for supporting us. We also had a different location prior for 13 years in Kenmore Sq., but the time has come for them to retire after 38 years in the business. Again, thank you all for your support! We will miss you and are looking forward to everyone sticking by to say goodbye."
Throughout its journey, from its Kenmore Square origins to the established presence on Centre Street, Captain Nemo's has grown to be more than just a pizza joint. Offering a wide variety of options such as salads, subs, pasta dishes, and grill items, Captain Nemo's has catered to different palates, always staying true to its cash-only tradition. As the business is now coming to an end, the neighborhood mourns a loss, but they also have an opportunity to reminisce on the memories that were shared and created within the walls of Captain Nemo's.
