"I've followed the long-running Revere Beach pizzeria's saga: Bianchi's Pizza — opened by Anthony Bianchi in the early 1950s and run by the Bianchi family ever since — closed its original location in 2018 after a city council-approved permit for a 145-unit development threatened the building, relocated into nearby Renzo Pizzeria (where it operated until November 2020), and is now set to reopen on a permanent basis this spring at 381 Revere Beach Blvd in the former Renzo Pizzeria space. The owners announced on Facebook that construction has already begun, there is no exact opening date yet, and the same owners will be making the same pizza in the same ovens that Revere residents and tourists have long loved. Owner Robert Bianchi had said he would "hate to lose it, especially on my watch," and with this return Bianchi's appears not to be lost after all." - Terrence Doyle
