"Oath Craft Pizza" proposed to replace Singer sewing machine store

[ron_newman]

As reported earlier, the Singer sewing machine shop at the corner of Elm and Day streets is moving to West Cambridge.  The new prospective tenant is a 16-seat superfast-order restaurant called Oath Craft Pizza.

Here are the submitted plan and the city planning staff report.  (Though I see only 13 seats in the diagram.)

From the planning report: "This pizza establishment is providing a different kind of experience by using super-efficient ovens to cook craft pizza in 90 seconds. "

They currently have two locations, Nantucket and South Station, but want to grow into a real chain.

I know Mike's is a Davis Square institution, but... the quality of the food there is the worst in the area. I wouldn't say Mike's fulfills any of the area's pizza needs.

I think it will fill a niche fairly well; I've had their pizza in South Station and liked it. (Certainly moreso than the last time I had Mike's.) The pizzas are relatively small and fast and expensive, though; I think they'll fill the "hey I need some food before this movie" niche well, but not so much the "let's get a pizza for dinner" niche. Also they're thin and crispy and get cold fast, so benefit from immediate consumption vs. takeout-for-later.
