The pizzeria, which opened in summer 2017, literally crossed the street to the long-vacant former pizzeria and sports bar at 5825 ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Pavilions Drive.

That space has been empty since Boston's Restaurant & Sports Bar in October 2023. The restaurant originally opened in late 2008 as Boston's The Gourmet Pizza — an outpost of the Canadian chain.

Barro's has been at the 5,000-square-foot space at 5884 ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Pavilions since August 2017. The move gives the pizzeria an additional 1,100 square feet of space that includes a spacious bar and patio, two things missing from its original Marana digs. 

Barro's was open for business at its original location Monday, although it was limiting service for most of the day to takeout and delivery. Store officials on Sunday said the idea was to allow workers to begin moving furniture and other equipment to the new space Monday night in time for Tuesday's opening.

Barro's has a second ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ area location at 410 N. Wilmot Road that opened in 2019.

The family-owned Barro's in Chicago in 1961 when the family opened its first restaurant using matriarch Angelina Barro's recipes. Angelina moved to California in 1968 to open a restaurant with her sons John and Angelo. 

When Angelo Barro moved to Mesa in 1981, he opened the family's first ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ restaurant. Today, four Barro siblings own 48 locations across ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and Texas.
