In search of Wellesley’s most expensive restaurant dinner entree
With Wellesley’s recent loss of businesses offering relatively affordable food — Star Market, College Pizza (and possibly Tian Fu) etc — we got to wondering about what the most expensive dish in town might be (excluding specials and offerings “priced daily”). Our search of Wellesley’s restaurants naturally started at Blue Ginger, known for its tasty [...]

Best of Wellesley, er, Boston
Boston Magazine looks kindly upon Wellesley in its special 27th annual Best of Boston issue for August, with 11 Wellesley-area businesses among its nearly 200 winners. Boston says its judges “ate, drank and shopped their way across the metro area” for the past 12 months to come up with their selections. There’s an entire Wellesley [...]

Upper Crust introduces “The Swellesley” pizza
Jeez, hadn’t even occurred to us to start our own food line. Guess Upper Crust beat us to the punch with “The Swellesley,” their Slice of the Day for Thursday. The details: “Topped with chourizo, Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil, crushed red pepper and basil.” // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ [...]

College Square Pizza: The sordid details
The Townsman has gotten to the bottom of the College Square Pizza mystery and it isn’t pretty, involving a stint in jail, immigration issues and eviction. The restaurant closed suddenly in May, and speculation ran wild as mail piled up inside the front door and vague signs promised a re-opening at some point. Despite the [...]

Justine’s restaurant coming to Wellesley
You’ll really be able to make a night of it over on Rte. 9 in Wellesley pretty soon when a restaurant named Justine’s opens at 978 Worcester Rd. (where the legendary Wellesley Motor Inn once did business) nearby the new CVS. Pick up some lipstick or Tums or whatever at CVS, then head out for [...]

The art of Wellesley’s College Square Pizza
Apparently College Square Pizza was a haven for Wellesley’s starving artist contingent. The fine work of one artist shows support for Theo Tsitos, College Square Pizza’s owner, whose 13-year-old business mysteriously closed shortly before the end of May (though does threaten to re-open via a handwritten sign in the window). The board of health has [...]

College Square Pizza: Don’t start the vigil just yet
While College Square Pizza in Wellesley Square has now been closed for something like a month and mail is piling up inside the door, a sign on the front door does offer hope that it will re-open “soon” (whenever soon is). An earlier sign simply noted that the business was on vacation. The eatery’s owner [...]

A question about Wellesley restaurant violations
A reader asked us how to find out about restaurant health code violations in Wellesley, the sort you sometimes see documented in local newspapers like the Brookline Tab. The Wellesley Health Department tells us that the town’s Board of Health decided years ago not to support such regular coverage and you won’t find much online [...]
Papa Gino’s time in Wellesley?
The Board of Selectmen will deal with a takeout food license application from Papa Gino’s for 254 Washington St. on Monday night. That’s the location that in the recent past has served as home to clothing store Hazel & Grace and detoxification center DTOX. It’s proven to be a tough spot parking-wise over the years.

Upper Crust wants outer crust
Among the agenda items for the Board of Selectmen tonight is Upper Crust Pizzeria‘s request for outdoor seating at its 99 Central St. location in Wellesley. Figuring this shouldn’t be an issue given that neighboring Bruegger’s already has outdoor seating.

An early review of Wellesley’s Upper Crust Pizzeria
Wellesley blogger Bob Dwyer puts Wellesley’s new Upper Crust Pizzeria and its delivery system to the test. He writes that it wasn’t bad — pizza tasted good, salad was nothing special, delivery was faster than estimated and the whole shebang was a tad on the pricey side — but that there’s room for improvement. Surprisingly, [...]

Qdoba franchiser having money problems
CORRECTION: The Globe has corrected its original story to clarify that a franchise group operating Qdoba restaurants in the Boston area is experiencing financial issues, not Qdoba Restaurant Corp. Qdoba notes that it is in fact expanding, with 62 new restaurants opened in fiscal 2009 and an additional 30 to 40 new restaurants expected to [...]
