Apocrypha? Stone hearth Pizza?

[emilief]

I drove through Needham this afternoon and noticed that the space that was previously Indigo is now called Apocrypha- has anyone been or know what kind of food they are serving?? Also noticed that Stone Hearth Pizza has a sign up- what is up with them ?? anyone familiar with their pizza?

Been there a couple of times for appetizers. Very creative and well-executed with an interesting, well-selected wine list (I know the sommelier from the BU wine program; he's top-notch). Looking forward to the "full treatment", perhaps this weekend.

i went in today to pick up dry cleaning and noticed a now open sign at apocrypha. the menu posted in the window looks good.

Can you elaborate?

[BostonCorkDork]

from what i can remember just having glanced at it, things like caviar, gnocchi, truffles, pheasant, rabbit, ribeye, etc...

I posted this last year in a thread on Belmont restaurants:

"I sooooo want to hate Stone Hearth Pizza, but I just can't quite bring myself to do so.

It's an unabashed "business concept" (Finale anyone?), but this totally insincere approach to restauranting has somehow managed to generate some pretty good Neapolitan pizzas and salads made with high quality organic ingredients.

Am I going to go out of my way to get pizza from here? Not a chance. But if you can manage to push your way through the imaginary "die yuppie scum" picket line out front, you could do a lot worse for an upscale neighborhood pizza joint."

That's pretty much a wicked-good howl, finlero!
