Wood Fired Love, a new pizza spot in the Mission Hill/Brigham Circle neighborhood, officially debuted Monday after a soft opening over the weekend, taking over the former Squealing Pig space to serve specialty pies and build-your-own options. Its ethos: A dedication to ingredients sourced from farms across New England.
Chris Gotreau, CEO of Wood Fired Love, was first hired by Squealing Pig owner Diarmuid O’Neill as a consultant after the restaurant closed.
“When I arrived [at the Squealing Pig] back in August, one of the things I had noticed was that it had these beautiful stone wood pizza ovens,” Gotreau told Boston.com. “I came in here and said, you know, we already have these ovens. They’re absolutely gorgeous; they’re like the Ferrari of pizza ovens. So why don’t I focus on this type of concept? Why don’t we take it a step further and really look into a lot of local, sustainable type of ingredients?”
