Line Up Early To Get Your Framingham Pizza Fix: Report
In a month, a beloved bakery and pizzeria will close for good, so customers are snapping up slices.
FRAMINGHAM, MA — The final day of business at Framingham Baking Co. is still a month off, but customers are rushing here to buy their favorite bread, rolls and sheet pizza before the doors close after 109 years.
The bakery last week announced it will shutter March 29, and the news has “sent customers into a frenzy,” WCVB-TV 5 reported.
Crowds have been lining up at 6 a.m. to pick up fresh-baked goods. On Friday, the TV station said, an entire day’s worth of pizza – 300 "party size" sheets – sold out in an hour.
