The Curious Case of the Missing Double Zero: A Deep Dive (Kind Of)
Remember Double Zero, that fancy vegan pizza joint on Newbury Street? You know, the one with the ambiance that screamed "expensive air and artisanal water?" Well, buckle up, fellow carb-lovers, because buckle up it's no longer with us.
What Happened To Double Zero Boston |
A Farewell to Faux-Cheese?
Double Zero's closure seems to have been shrouded in as much mystery as the recipe for their gluten-free, plant-based mozzarella (which, let's be honest, was probably a national security secret). There wasn't even a dramatic "We're moving on to bigger and better vegan cheese!" announcement. Just...poof. Gone. Like a forgotten slice left in the back of the fridge.
The internet offers whispers of a closure sometime in spring 2023, but the official story remains as elusive as a perfectly browned vegan crust. Did the high rent prices finally dough them in? Did a rogue wave of carnivores storm the restaurant, demanding a pepperoni option? The world may never know.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
R.I.P. Double Zero: A Celebration (Sort Of)
Look, we'll admit it. Double Zero wasn't exactly everyone's cup of tempeh. The price tag could make your wallet weep, and the reviews were a mixed bag (think "decor: stunning, service: meh, pizza: aight"). But hey, it was an option! A beacon of hope in a sea of pepperoni and sausage. A place where you could indulge in a vegan pizza that didn't taste like sadness and cardboard.
So here's to Double Zero. May their vegan cheese rest easy, and may their memory inspire other restaurants to explore the wonderful world of plant-based pizzas that don't require a second mortgage.

How to Deal with Your Double Zero-Shaped Hole (Metaphorically Speaking)
Let's be honest, this closure might leave a void in your life, especially if your Friday night routine revolved around arguing with your friends about whether cashew cheese could ever truly replace the real deal. Fear not, we've got you covered!
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
- Channel your inner pizzaiolo: Invest in a pizza stone, dust off your grandma's rolling pin, and get creative! There's a whole world of vegan cheese alternatives out there waiting to be explored.
- Seek solace in the arms (or should we say slices) of another vegan pizza joint: Boston has a surprisingly robust vegan food scene. Do some research, find your new favorite spot, and report back!
- Embrace the non-vegan option (butShh, don't tell the kale chips): We all have our cheat days. Go nuts (or should we say pepperoni?) and indulge in a regular slice. Just don't make it a habit (or your arteries will definitely judge you).
