A now-closed pizzeria in Jamaica Plain is going to be replaced by a pizza spot with a different name, though it will have a family connection.
According to an article from Universal Hub, Panagiotis Papadopoulos has been granted permission by The Zoning Board of Appeal to reopen Ideal Pizza as Pete's A Pizza, with Panagiotis being the son of Gervasios Papadopoulos who had first opened Ideal Pizza back in 1998. Gervasios sold the business in 2022, though UH says that the new owner abandoned the place last summer.
An earlier Reddit thread mentions that Pete's A Pizza will apparently be offering "a lot of the same items" served at Ideal Pizza.
The address for the upcoming Pete's A Pizza in JP is 482-488 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130.
