Local Pizza Place Reopens Wednesday

Popular Wakefield eatery Slice Pizza and More closed for renovations last August. Re-opening is today.

A popular Wakefield eatery is back open on Wednesday, following a nearly eight-month hiatus. Slice Pizza and More now shares building space with the Prime gas station at the junction of Salem and Lowell Streets, steps away from the site of the former building where it was originally located. Paul and John Cucinatti, two cousins from Winchester, first opened Slice back in the fall of 2009. While this is their first business, other family members run the restaurant Orzo in North Andover. In a conversation Tuesday with Wakefield Patch, John Cucinatti reported that with the exception of a few new additions, the menu has not changed. "We're just looking forward to serving our great pizza and seeing all our customers - and new customers," said …

Home of the Week

A Large Brick Estate Near Main Street

Each week, Lynnfield Patch takes a look at an interesting and/or distinctive property currently on the market.

Most weeks while doing the Home of the Week column, I resist the temptation to highlight the most expensive places on the market because there can be a huge difference between "expensive" and "interesting and distinctive." Here's an exception that just went on the market at 5 Ashley Court in Lynnfield however. It's an 8,000 square foot estate, described in the listing as "palatial and meticulously maintained." Along with all that living space, there's a three-quarter of an acre lot to unwind on. There's a chef's kitchen, a second-story atrium with good natural light, a formal dining room complete with a butler's pantry, a couple of hut tubs, and an entertainment room with a bar. This also happens to be the only real estate listing I've …
