Vegan wood-fired pizzas, biodynamic wines, and Italian-inspired dishes
"A strictly vegan pizzeria and wine bar, Double Zero opened at 163 Newbury St. in Back Bay as the fifth outpost from Matthew Kenney; the Boston location joins a small but growing vegan dining scene, follows a long-anticipated local announcement (originally targeted for October 2018), and carries the pedigree of an East Village original that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand." - Eater Staff
"A New York–based pizzeria and wine bar that is strictly vegan is opening at 163 Newbury St. in Back Bay on Friday, July 9; it's the fifth Double Zero from restaurateur and author Matthew Kenney, whose meatless restaurant portfolio stretches from Bahrain to Buenos Aires. I note that the original East Village location is on Michelin's Bib Gourmand list, this is Kenney's first Boston restaurant, and the local opening follows his earlier New England expansion in 2019 with Plant City. The Boston Double Zero was originally announced in June 2018 and has been a long time coming." - Eater Staff
"A vegan pizzeria and wine bar from a well-known plant-based restaurateur, offering dairy-free pizza and a curated wine list as part of a small but growing chain focused on entirely vegan menus." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"A New York–based pizzeria and wine bar opened at 163 Newbury St. in Boston’s Back Bay on Friday, July 9, joining the city’s small but growing strictly vegan dining scene. Operated by Matthew Kenney, the restaurant serves pizzas topped with ingredients like truffles and spicy vegan pepperoni and offers gluten-free options; other Italian-inspired dishes include a pasta Bolognese made with a walnut and mushroom ragu and an eggplant parm finished with cashew mozzarella, rice mozzarella, and macadamia ricotta. The wine list emphasizes biodynamic selections and there’s a small collection of mostly local beers, ciders, and hard kombucha (including a hard pineapple kombucha from Flying Embers). The space features communal seating, an open kitchen, and a patio for Newbury Street people-watching; delivery is available via major third-party platforms, and the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner daily." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
