Davis to Drown in Wood-Fired Pizza?

The Globe has a new story up about the cursed restaurant space at 187 Elm St in Somerville, between Davis and Porter. In the past decade, Carberry's, O’Naturals, Boloco, Green Tomato II have all tried to set up shop in the space. Each venture ended up pulling out of the strange limbo that receives low foot traffic and feels too far from either square to venture to without a really good reason.

Now Pizzeria Posto is set to open at 187 Elm next month, offering wood-fired pizza and wine. But Sacco's Bowl Haven has been closed for renovations, planning to open in May with wood-fired pizza from Amesbury-founded Flatbread. Will Posto's winebar ambitions be shut down by (presumably) cheaper pizza half a mile up the road? Or is the wine-and-dine crowd distinct enough from the bowl-and-beer crowd to keep two wood-fired pizzerias in business?

Posto will open for real before the new "Flatbread Company at Sacco's Bowl Haven" officially debuts, but Sacco's will be open starting tomorrow for "bowling during construction," giving the already-established venue a bit of a jump on its high-class competitor. Both places appear to have liquor licenses (or at least wine/beer), so you'll be able to get sassy regardless of where you go.

Which place would you pick, or would you frequent each at different times?
