Coming soon: Neapolitan-style pizzeria Source opens at Fenway’s Time Out Market Boston (401 Park Drive) later this month, slinging signature pepperoni pies, plus a “Fenway” made with smoked ricotta, sweet sausage, sweet potatoes, eggs, and garlic truffle oil and a pie topped with lobster, tartar sauce, and lettuce. Its first branch opened in Harvard Square in 2020.
Common Craft opens soon at the Burlington Mall (75 Middlesex Turnpike), a massive beer hall spread out over several tap rooms, with beer from indie producers such as Malden’s Idle Hands, specializing in Belgian ale, and Brattleboro, Vt.’s Hermit Thrush, offering sour beers using local yeast. There’s also a wine room, an outdoor patio for events such as tiki nights and Oktoberfest, and gastropub-style cuisine. The mall also welcomes New York-based Parm later this month, new from Major Food Group. They run Contessa in Boston (one of the city’s toughest reservations), as well as Manhattan hot spots like Carbone. Get parms (chicken, eggplant), pastas, and cannoli.
