A Neapolitan pizza restaurant is coming to Hallowell, headlining three major business changes to the city’s downtown. Taking up residence in the former Joyce’s building at 192 Water St., Bruno’s Wood-Fired Pizzeria is planning to open in mid-May. Meanwhile, Maine Local Market is planning to open April 3 in the former location of Scrummy Afters Candy Shoppe, and the former Boynton’s Market could be under new ownership soon.
Bruno’s Wood-Fired Pizzeria is expanding to Hallowell from its the flagship location in downtown Bath. Owner Robert Whisenant, 52, of Sabattus, said the expansion to Hallowell was borne after he boated up the Kennebec River and had dinner in the city.
