Figo's Pizzeria Serves Fresh Italian Dishes

PITTSFIELD, Mass.— Figo's Pizzeria is offering family-style Italian dishes from scratch in the former Teddy's Pizza Restaurant.

Bridget and Jacob Sweener, spouses and co-owners of Figo's, opened their new location at the end of October, aiming to create a welcoming place for the community.

"We want you to be able to sit down at the bar and have a pizza and a beer, or to be able to sit here together on a date on Friday night or Saturday and have prime rib and a nice glass of wine instead of just pizza," said Jacob.

Even the name suggests how they want it to be a cool place to unwind or enjoy a meal.

"Figo's is a slang word that means trendy or cool. That's what we want this to be. We wanted to be a trendy, cool hangout," Jacob said.

The Sweeners acquired their space at 508 East St. in June and got to work renovating. They replaced the former benches, painted, decorated, and even got a new roof.

"There's been improvements that we've done like that people wouldn't see with the naked eye, too,"Jacob said.
