The Square Corner Cafe on Washington Street is getting closer to opening - they've posted menus in the window.

And those menus look a lot like the menus at the area's other "cafe" - the Checkmate: Pizzas, subs and pasta, with a few things such as salmon thrown in. No breakfast listed.

Townies up to no good in Roslindale

An unusually depressing police-blotter column in the Roslindale Transcript includes this item:

A Pleasant Cafe employee called police after two men claiming to be from Charlestown came into the Pleasant Cafe and started asking employees how much the restaurant made in a night and when does the eatery close.

The House of the House of Pizza

Eeeka describes her House of Pizza project, in which she is attempting to take a photo of every single _____ House of Pizza in greater Boston.

Hmm. Combine that with the 351-cities-and-towns efforts and you've got yourself a lifelong project.

If you live anywhere near Roslindale, don't click on this link, unless you're getting ready to leave for some pizza there anyway.

A Dig editor ventured south of Landmark Center once - and was never heard from again

The Weekly Dig's Boston Slice is allegedly "a comprehensive list of slices available around the city" yet doesn't list a single place south of the Fenway - although Cambridge does merit several mentions. Even the Upper Crust in Brookline fails to rate a listing. Oh, well, I guess the secret is out: Down here in the boonies, a fun night out consists of going over to the nearest crick and wrasslin' up some gators and squirrels. Them's good eatin'.

Sauce flies at Westie pizza parley

At a meeting last week, the owners of West Roxbury's current pizza joints sliced into a proposal for a Papa John's pizza place near Roche Bros., saying the neighborhood already has enough places to meet its pizza needs, the West Roxbury Transcript reports.

Less clear is whether the owners of the neighborhood's sandwich shops (in general, the same as the pizzamakers) will try to sink a sub shop proposed at the other end of Centre Street: D'Angelo's is looking at moving into the old Friendly's location.

Note to Transcript editors: You might want to give your reporters a couple hours a month to just walk up and down Centre Street, which might keep them from making mistakes like referring twice to DeMo's (it's DeNo's) or writing that D'Angelo's would turn the old Friendly's drive-thru window into an entrance (the building has a walk-up window, not a drive-thru).

Are West Roxbury residents pizza fiends? Papa John's thinks so - the chain wants to build an outlet in the Roche Bros. plaza, which would join all the other pizza places along Centre and Spring streets (to wit: Espresso, Christos, DeNo's, the Real Deal, Tony's and West Napoli). David Ertischek wonders: How much pizza can one neighborhood eat?

Put all your menu items on your outdoor sign, even if that means stretching it across two buildings, like Romanos in Roslindale Square.

Newest WiFi hotspots

Steve Garfield notes that Dana-Farber now offers free WiFi (so unlike Logan Airport, he adds).

Getting my vote for the unlikeliest place to offer free WiFi: DeNo's Pizza on Centre Street in West Roxbury. Who would ever think to bring a laptop to a pizza place?
