The Lower Allston pizzeria from chef Colin Lynch and Traveler Street Hospitality was known for its New York-style pies, community nights, and creative cocktails.

Less than a year after opening in Lower Allston, FiDO Pizza has closed its doors.

The neighborhood pizzeria at 250 Western Ave. announced Friday on Instagram that its final day of service would be Sunday, June 21.

“We are very proud of what FiDO Pizza brought to Lower Allston and of the amazing job the FiDO Pizza team did in offering great food and hospitality each and every day of service,” the restaurant wrote. The post went on to thank its Lower Allston neighbors, and “FiDO Pizza friends and family, for joining us all along the way.” 

FiDO opened in August 2025 from chef Colin Lynch and Traveler Street Hospitality (Black Lamb, Shore Leave, No Relation, and Bar Mezzana).

“Everyone has their ideal style of pizza in their mind and it’s been awesome to bring mine to fruition,” Chef Lynch shared at the time. FiDO was known for its New York-style pies featuring a lightly charred, flavorful crust made from a dough fermented for 72 hours and mixed with three New England-milled flours.

The restaurant also built a following through community-focused events and an inventive cocktail menu from beverage director Ryan Lotz, which included drinks such as a pepperoni pizza Negroni and Lambrusco Sbagliato, a sparkling red wine cocktail with bitter bianco and bianco vermouth.

On Instagram, fans shared their goodbyes and remembered their favorite dishes.

“So sad to hear this news, we have had so many good memories at Fido, including my husbands recent graduation 💔 😢🥺,” one commenter wrote.

“Thanks for the memories and all the pizza, especially the braised greens,” one user commented. “Oh no!! 😞 We really loved your food and cocktails,” another shared.
