The owners of Pizza 44 on Pine Street in Burlington will open a second pizzeria at 4066 Shelburne Road, next door to Archie’s Grill and the Scoop ice cream shop, both of which they also own. Co-owner Tim Williams said the new restaurant should open by mid-December. Smaller than the original, it will launch with a limited menu before ramping up.

Pizza 44 opened just over seven years ago at 703 Pine Street, in the same building as Queen City Brewery. It serves New York-style pizza baked in a wood-fired oven, as well as cast-iron-baked thick-crust pies, which are a fusion of Sicilian and Chicago deep-dish styles. Other offerings include housemade meatballs and oven-roasted chicken wings.

“People like it and have been asking us to do it in Shelburne,” Williams said.

Each of the three co-owned establishments in the Shelburne Road complex will have its own entrance, but they will be connected physically and benefit from shared resources and staffing, he said.
