Let's be honest. Visiting the Stearns Square area of downtown Springfield can currently be a hassle as that outdoor space and the streets that surround it undergo a total rebuild. But a bit of construction dust and delay shouldn't deter a visit to Art e' Pizza, which offers those who enjoy good food compelling reasons to make the trip.

Offering pizza and casual Italian fare updated to reflect 21st century sensibilities, Art e' Pizza relies on a traditional open-hearth oven to create a vibrantly flavorful range of dining experiences. Freeform, hearth-baked Italian pies are the eatery's namesakes, and the manner in which they're put together reflects a rethink of the pizza experience.
