New Hingham Square Pizza Shop Expected to Open Today

The Peel Pizza Company is expected to open Tuesday, April 30, and its owner said he could not be more excited.

“I am looking forward to doing business with the great people in town,” said owner Matthew Troy.

Troy, who still lives in Darien, decided to open in Hingham because he has family around the South Shore and is planning on moving to the area in the future.

His new pizza shop will serve thin-crust Neapolitan pizzas, calzones and salad.  Pizzas can be ordered by the slice or by the whole and guests can choose from over a dozen toppings including prosciutto, chorizo, baby clams and even chicken tenders.

Troy prides his business on having fresh cut vegetables, fresh topping and freshly made dough.

“Here, we put quality above all else,” he said. “I want to make this a pizza company where I would want to eat and a place where my children could eat.”

The new business at 73 South Street will also offer free delivery to Hingham residents as well as takeout service.

Pizza Peel Company is opening in the former Upper Crust building and will have its former owner Brendan Higgins working for the company.  Despite the hiring of Higgins, Troy said he wants no affiliation with the Upper Crust.

“This company is 100 percent owned by me,” Troy said. “It’s 100 percent my investment dollars. We have zero affiliation with the Upper Crust and we would like to keep it that way.”
