Crackheads, drunks, addicts,
Crackheads, drunks, addicts, homeless, and mentally ill can run wild in Andrew Square at all hours of the day and night with zero repercussions, but you can’t get pizza delivered after midnight. A quintessential Boston story.

313 Old Colony Avenue
The pizza signs came down about ten days ago. The owner has other ideas. He's got a hearing with the cannabis board tonight to open up a pot shop. I doubt this will get a better reception.

Doesn't that seem backwards?
In my day it was always cannabis first, pizza afterwards.
Thanks for the head's up

the city says you cant buy
the city says you cant buy pizza because the city does not want to do anything about the "quality of life" issues. Pizza will make everything worse! In fact, pizza is the problem here. City should ban pizza all together. Its a public health nuisance like menthol cigarettes.
Delivery only == zero impact on the neighborhood
If it is open only for deliveries, with no walk-up or drive-up purchases allowed, how can it have any effect on any neighbors at all?
Uber Eats can happen
Since this will be one of the only food options around at that hour, one could imagine 10 drivers queuing up, double-parking, idling, honking, talking loudly, playing their music. Hey I'm all in favor of late night dining options, but there ARE legitimate concerns for people living nearby.
None of that sounds legitimate to me
?
I've driven for uber eats. No one does any of that other than idling and playing music.
I guess double parking but it's 2 am- who cares?
Legitimate concern
I've seen news stories about that sort of thing. I think it was about grocery delivery in NYC or something, but it was the same gig economy car & driver issues.
They should not be idling or
They should not be idling or playing music. Especially at night.
Neighborhood civic groups
Neighborhood civic groups rarely have the best interests of the neighborhood, they just want to tell you how many decades they’ve lived at their address and how everything will cause traffic.
It's simple
Red Line pizza is popular with the neighbors, Supreme is a daylong eyesore and there's no need to continue it until 3am.
Too much pepperoni wagging
In Ed's face, apparently
