50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Jamaica Plain

“Their pizza is great you have to let them know how you want your pizza soft not crunchy as well lightly they are good in listening and give you exactly what you ask for I’m a pinker eater I love this place I’m always referring people to this place “

“Moved to the neighborhood in June. First time going here. Heard the gyros were good and that their chicken was good. So I decided to try both. The recommendations were not wrong. That was absolutely delicious. Great cuts of chicken. Soft and tender. Normally take out chicken is tough and gristly. I’ve never eaten 10 buffalo tenders in one sitting before. I did today. The gyro was very tasty. Simple basic ingredients that compliment each other. If this is how the rest of the menu is, it is definitely a perk to living over here. Two thumbs up…“

“Not the fanciest place but this pizza is some of our favorite in Boston. It's delicious, the ingredients are always super fresh, affordable, and the guys who run the place are incredibly friendly. Love Zesto's, it's what we order when friends are over and I can't recommend them enough.“

“I genuinely have no clue what everyone is saying about the owner. she is very nice and I've only had good experiences with her. I think many people are just rude to service workers in general and aren't used to someone talking back.“

“My favorite pizza in Boston!!“

“It matches the hype. The Sicilian Pizza is…perfect. There’s not enough superlatives to do it justice and if there were, even then it wouldn’t reach hyperbole. Craziest thing of it all is the pricing. Four slices, arancini, and a drink for $16.00? How? In today’s economy how are they keeping the price this low? Also amazing. Just go. Don’t think about it, don’t pass go, don’t collect $200…go get your dang perfect slice.“

“Delicious pizza. One slice is actually two huge slices! Affordable prices. Will visit again.“

“Took my 9 year old son here today for lunch When we were done, he said “Daddy, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had!” My 9 year old is a major pizza snob“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“Best pizza I’ve had in Boston. Broccoli pizza was phenomenal and tasted very fresh 👌“

“Small place, but incredible pizza.
We were looking for a quick bite and
were blown away by how good it actually was.
High-level ingredients and perfectly cooked.
More for pick up or delivery
but definitely will recommend this pizzeria.“

“Everything 10/10. From start to finish — the food, hospitality, music, vibes. We sat at the bar with Renato who was just the best. We tried the meatballs, garlic bread (omg?), the pepperoni with pearl onions, roasted squash pizza and tiramisu — from start to finish everything was absolutely incredible. We are now garlic bread groupies and can’t wait to be back! 5🌟“

“YUM - AAAYY - ZING!!

Words are insufficient to describe my excitement for Mario’s!!!

I’ll start with THIN CRUST - Classic Neapolitan pizza, ITALIAN style. Then FRESH FRESH FRESH ingredients make all the difference. I look forward to it, whenever I can make it, usually for lunch on Friday, the only week day they’re open at 12:00 noon. Awesome vibe that’s 100% local local local. Small place, mostly take out, but you can seat 3-4 people at the window counter, which I love. Old school marble counter, with comfy padded bar stools. You have to know it’s here as the location is a tad off the beaten path of prime visibility. Which ‘proves’ one of my philosophies ‘ great location, often mehh food, not so great location - the food must be amazing. So many amazing points …. One of which is the ACTUAL MARIO! Punctuating the super local CHEF OWNED cafe. He’s here all the time, super nice guy, a joy to chat with … and he truly loves making incredible pizza!!“

“My favorites include deep dish pizza, chicken salad sub, roast beef sub, and spinach pie.“

“Family had dinner at Stoked in Cohasset last weekend….what a great meal! Pizzas were SO delicious, as were the Greek and Caesar salads. House wines were really good. Children loved their meals too. Our server was terrific, fun and attentive. An overall perfect experience…casual and delicious!! It was a little quiet when we went, but it was early. Can’t imagine this local gem will be quiet very often! We’ll all be back ! Nana from Hingham“

“My fiancé and I have been ordering here for over a year. It is the best pizza in quincy and the surrounding area. (and we’ve tried quite a few pizza spots) Fresh and authentic tasting and the staff are good people. Plus they’re open until 11! I’d recommend 10/10“

“Small hole in the wall but Fire pizza!“

“Everytime we are in the area, Pino's is our go to. Even if we go out to another restaurant, we get a Pino's Pizza to take home. The best pizza around.“

“Dirty Water Dough Company delivers the kind of Boston food experience that feels both local and unforgettable, blending bold flavors, a laid‑back vibe, and a clear pride in craft. It’s the kind of spot where you walk in expecting a good slice and walk out talking about how surprisingly great everything was.

🍕 Atmosphere and first impression
The moment you step inside, the energy feels warm and unpretentious—exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizza spot. The space has that classic Boston edge: casual, lively, and full of people who clearly know they’ve found a gem. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in with friends, the environment feels welcoming without trying too hard.

🔥 Food that stands out
Dirty Water Dough is all about flavor, and it shows in every bite. Their dough has a signature chew and crispness that sets it apart—light enough to enjoy slice after slice, but sturdy enough to hold generous toppings. A few standout qualities make the food memorable:

- Creative specialty pizzas that balance bold ingredients without overwhelming the palate.
- Fresh, high‑quality toppings that taste thoughtfully chosen rather than thrown together.
- Perfectly baked crusts with that ideal mix of char, crunch, and softness.
- Generous portions that feel worth every penny.

Even the simpler pies—like a classic cheese or pepperoni—hit harder than expected because the base ingredients are just that good. And if you venture into their more adventurous combinations, you’ll find flavors that feel inventive without being gimmicky.

🍺 Drinks and extras
Pairing a slice with a cold drink is easy here. The beverage selection complements the food well, and the sides—like wings, salads, or garlic knots—round out the meal without overshadowing the star of the show. Everything feels consistent, fresh, and made with care.

⭐ Overall experience
Dirty Water Dough Company is one of those Boston spots that earns its reputation through quality and personality. It’s casual enough for a quick lunch, flavorful enough for a night out, and reliable enough to become a go‑to favorite. The combination of great dough, creative toppings, and a comfortable vibe makes it a standout in a city full of pizza options.

If you’re looking for a place that captures Boston’s food spirit—unpretentious, bold, and delicious—Dirty Water Dough Company delivers every time.“

“I came here, buzzing, after a show at the Sinclair tonight and they were open Monday late night so I got 3 slices of goodness, except...it was greatness...the mushroom & onion slices are so primo, munchies heaven, and the whole team is on point. Really great pizzas here with lots of skill added...“

“Great Neapolitan style pizza pop up, I ride miles and miles only to have some at one of the breweries they partner with“

“Great pizza and staff. Chef worked her buns off. A great sign.“

“Independently-owned neighborhood joint. Incredibly warm, welcoming, friendly owner. I love that it’s right across the street from the library. Can’t beat $3 for a flavorful cheese slice, delectable crust! Eggplant parm’s great too. Always hits the spot! 😊“

“Had an awesome meal here! We ordered the Polpette Sandwich, Salsiccia Pizza, and the Bianco, and honestly, they were all amazing. The Bianco pizza stole the show—it was perfectly cooked, cheesy, and bursting with flavor. The staff is super friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and inviting. The vibe of the place is casual and fun, perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends or family. Everything felt fresh, tasty, and just done right. I can’t recommend it enough if you love good pizza, friendly service, and a chill spot to hang out. We’ll definitely be back soon to try even more from the menu!“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“This restaurant is what the definition of a hidden gem is. The food is fresh, delicious, exactly what you look for in a great slice of pizza. They have many options, including burgers and subs, which all are made fresh to order as well. The prices are also reasonable, but what makes it stand out more are the specials they have which make the meals 10x more affordable for a solid
meal. It’s truly wonderful to see a place that actually cares about the people for once. But then the service stands out most to me, the people are the kindest, always accommodating, never rushing me to finish my meal, and making sure I feel welcomed and acknowledged at all times. They treat everyone as a community, which I think should happen more often. Everyone is welcome there and they make sure of it. I definitely recommend coming here, you will fall in love with it!“

“Great food!! It's a do not miss when I'm working in town, near the Boston Garden!“

“the food was fresh outstanding! You must try it“

“First time in Nee England and my buddy joined a bowling league. So I told him lets go and I’ll just chill at the bar. This place is awesome! Great flatbread, great beer and great service! If I’m ever up this way again I’m for sure making a stop here.“

“Best place,great food.Highly recommend 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!“

“Lived in NYC for many years and became a pizza snob. My wife and I searched for good pizza in Boston for the better part of a year and became addicted to this place. Sauce is delicious and flavorful. Crispy crust, tasty pepperoni. Just an awesome pizza. Bravo.“

“My experience today was amazing - Nicole was so helpful with ordering and our friends received a delicious hot meal with more than enough for a second meal. Thank you all for taking such good care of our request!“

“The Chef’s were really well receiving, and they made haste freshly of our order. Great quality customer service, very nice and welcoming atmosphere.

The food was excellent, and it was all fresh, only took 10 minutes.

The menu was very extensive, and all the options looked really good, we just got a ZaZa pizza (garlic, olive oil and basil) and a meat lovers pizza. The food was timely and very good.“

“First time going there and the toasted ravioli, pizza and Nomna’s meatballs were very good. Highly recommend 🍕“

“My 1st experience was great/ friendly and delicious! I’ll be back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ high recommended The best pizza in town“

“The best pizza and sandwich’s around delicious 😋 best customer service when you have an issue with door dash thank so much harry for lunch 🥰“

“The food is great! Definitely try the corn pizza. However don't bother calling ahead or asking for the wait time. We called ahead and still had to wait 60 minutes. It isn't really their fault, a table that was finished with their food sat and chatted for 50 minutes.“

“Food and service are excellent!“

“These guys are second to none! Greek style pizza from Louis and Ioannis (John) tonight and what a welcome to Norwood they gave us. We will probably be bothering these guys weekly since their BBQ Chicken Pizza and regular Cheese pizza really brought the Greek back. Thanks again, guys.“

“The restaurant had a cool relaxed vibe with a very interesting decor. We ate at the bar. Bartender was very attentive and offered great recommendations. Our pizza was great! Ordered the espresso martini to cap off the evening. It was out of this world great!“

“My daughter and I love this place and we are always welcomed with a hearty hello. Even when we aren’t going in, the guys always wave when we walk by and have become a fixture in the neighborhood over the last year. The pizza is delicious and they have some delicious combos. I highly recommend a try!“

“Coming from Vegas where good pizza is scarce, we couldn’t have enjoyed this fresh traditional style pizza more! And they had tons of toppings and recipes to choose from. We wish our bellies were bigger to enjoy the sandwiches and pastas too. We will definitely return if we make it back to this side of the country again. And the staff was very friendly allowing our family to feel very welcome“
