Joe's Pizza, the famed Greenwich Village slice shop, is bringing its New York pies to Fenway with a new outpost at 1363 Boylston Street that is targeting an early June debut. The shop will add another quick‑service pizza option within walking distance of Fenway Park and the neighborhood's concert venues, and it will be the brand's second Greater Boston location after its Cambridge outpost.
License filing shows space and hours
The City of Boston's licensing board documents list The Village in Fenway LLC, doing business as Joe's Pizza, as applying for a Common Victualler license for a roughly 2,005‑square‑foot first‑floor space at 1363 Boylston Street with a service counter, customer seating and a private year‑round patio that can seat about 28 people, according to the City of Boston. The filing notes planned daily hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and lists Anthony Cosentino as manager of record.
From Tenderoni's to Regina: Boylston turnover
The Boylston storefront at 1363 Boylston had been the Fenway home of Tenderoni's until the restaurant closed in 2024, according to the Boston Globe. The wider Boylston restaurant strip has been in flux lately, and even Regina Pizzeria closed its Fenway outpost in March, a shift documented by Boston.com.
What the operators say
As reported by What Now Boston, partner Ian Lafkowitz said the Fenway space has undergone a full renovation and that fresh mozzarella for the new shop will be sourced from Vermont rather than New York. What Now Boston describes the layout as roughly 1,900 square feet and says the team expects to open in early June. Those details line up with the city's licensing summary.
Joe’s roots and the Cambridge outpost
Joe's Pizza was founded in 1975 by Naples native Pino "Joe" Pozzuoli, according to Joe's Pizza. Locally, the brand already operates a Cambridge outpost at 3 Brattle Street in Harvard Square, per Joe's Pizza Cambridge.
What it means for Fenway
Fenway's packed event calendar and steady pre‑ and post‑game foot traffic make Boylston Street a logical spot for counter‑serve pizza, and a year‑round patio could help even out demand beyond baseball season. For neighbors and students, another quick slice window is set to fill a practical need left by recent closures on the strip.
When it could open
Operators have told local outlets they hope to begin serving slices by early June, although an exact public opening date has not yet been announced. Boston Restaurant Talk first reported the plans, and local outlets have since picked up the item, including coverage on NBC Boston.
