“Residents of Inman Square have been anticipating the opening of All Star Pizza Bar for months, peeking into the storefront windows as the space transformed from Aram’s #1 Pizza, to a funky hipster hangout with a chalkboard wall and intergalactic artwork,” according to the Boston Globe. “Across the street from the well-established All Star Sandwich Bar, the pizza spot serves up brick-oven pies with inventive toppings, as well as buckets of beer and pitchers of fruity sangria.

New patrons tend to approach from one of two camps: All Star groupies, who were lined up around the block for free slices the day it opened, and tweeted with excitement about the debut, and skeptics who border on offended that someone would pile duck confit with Buffalo sauce onto a thin crust pie.”
