Launched in 2015, the fair-wage pizza shop will close at the end of the year, according to Bing Broderick, executive director for the nonprofit Haley House, which oversees the shop. While popular, the shop is not breaking even financially, which has put stress on the wider nonprofit organization.

“I don’t think anyone is looking at it as a failure,” said Luther Pinckney, a team leader at Dudley Dough, which is in the Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building. “It’s an experiment, and some very good things came out of that, such as skill-building for staff and being in this building at this time of gentrification and change in this community.”

Maybe those who are losing their jobs?

Yes, but not in Roxbury. You're not going to get John F'n Kerry's Beacon Hill neighbors traveling to Roxbury when there are much better offerings in much safer neighborhoods.

I am happy to admit my utter ignorance of the neighborhoods and suburbs of Boston. That only makes the situation for a trendy pizza parlor even worse.

There’s a plethora of government departments.

Must be at least one for United States Department of Going Into Labor.
