I've been to some of those restaurants with great food that shut down and thought "they need to charge more for food!"

Of course. I've been to many good restaurants with poor location. Ones that charge next to nothing for amazing food and have been in business for ages. Had $80 to $115 steaks that plain out sucked. Worked in high end French and BBQ and Jewish Deli. To me, location and parking is everything. Then comes having something you can't get anywhere else like the Peruvian charcoal chicken that is $11 for a leg and thigh with rice and plantain and 2 sauces that I'd pay double and still feel I got good value.
So from my own list, there is incredibly good Italian in Boston, so wouldn't do that. But the Indian I would and that would be successful especially by adding upscaled street food options.
There is no 48 hour dough pizza in Boston. I don't think there's even 24 hour dough. With the right location, a Neapolitan pizza and Florentine sandwich (using imported Italian flour) place is virtually a guarantee here.
