14 Best Pizza Restaurants in Natick

“I grew up in Detroit off of Buddy’s Pizza. This pizza IS BUDDYs pizza. Legit! Well done!“

“Their steak tips are on point along with their buffalo chicken.“

“Without any doubt, 5 out of 5 stars ?!

I recently had one of the most, if not the most, delicious pizzas in my life at Pizza By Rocco in Natick, Mass. Even though it may be considered a hidden gem, I doubt it will be considered a hidden gem for much longer as more and more people hear about it and try the food out for themselves!

Each time I have introduced a friend to Rocco's, every single one of them has said that this is some of the best pizza they've ever had.

The crust has that sweet thin crispy taste, and is cooked to perfection. The sauce always has just the right amount and also has a great taste. The toppings are always fresh, more than generous with the amount given, and expertly balanced. In fact, the pizzas and all of the food items in general are more than generous in terms of how much you're getting. In terms of ambiance, although the store is small it still has an inviting and cozy feel to it, and offers some seating outside. Last but certainly not least, the service is no doubt top shelf service. Everyone here is very friendly, attentive, and lightning-fast with their food preparation. Carol, who takes the orders, legitimately sets the very warm and welcoming tone right away with her effortless affability and enthusiastic aura and smile. Red, the pizza/food maker, is a master at his craft and is very personable too. As one can tell simply by the quality of the food, it is clear to see that Red takes his work seriously and is proficient at his job. All of the people who prepare the food here put their strongest efforts into the process; this is food that is made from a place of sincere love!

Rocco himself is at the shop quite often and he goes above and beyond with regards to looking out for his customers. This aspect was something that truly stood out to me about this place and sets Pizza By Rocco above all the rest for me personally. For example, Rocco is very genuine, and is an incredibly generous person and that generosity spills over into his work. His genuine personality is noticeable right away when you meet him. If a customer has any issue with anything, he makes sure to do whatever it takes to ensure said customer is taken care of and leaves the shop happy and satisfied. Not every store owner makes it a point to do things like that. It just goes to show that Rocco and his fellow workers really care about their customers, which is probably why the store has so many repeat and loyal customers.

The menu has your usual favorites/go-to items, but also has some fun and creative specialty options as well. The Buffalo Chicken thin crust pizza is extremely popular and a must try favorite! One of the specialty options that made a great impression on me was the "Typical Johnny," which can best be described as literally a "Big Mac" on a pizza. The only difference is that the Typical Johnny is even better and tastier than an actual Big Mac!

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend Pizza by Rocco for all the pizza lovers out there, and for those who like to support local businesses. I had such a great experience there that I have been back a bunch of times since my first visit. If you come here to try it out, I can guarantee you that you will be coming back for more. It is just *that* good!

Thank you very much Pizza By Rocco for providing me with such a wonderful and extraordinary experience each time I come to your shop! This place is easily one of my favorite places to go. There really is no better pizza around. Keep up the incredible work guys!

“I have eaten here with my dad and my son a few times...The food was and is absolutely delicious...the service is wonderful and the atmosphere is very pleasant...my son..dad and I felt right at home eating there as this awesome pizza place is owned and operated by Greeks just like us??????“

“Whipped Feta Dip was incredible. Nashville Chicken Sandwich with hot honey was great. My wife had a Fancy salad with grilled chicken that looked too healthy for me, but she raved about it. Service was great, everybody we interacted with was smart, friendly and upbeat. I'm eager to return.“

“First time ordering from here and wow it was SO good. It looked beautiful and I appreciate that mine was thin crust and gluten free. I have a brutal wheat allergy so thank you to those who made these. My boyfriend loved the calzone too. We will be ordering again thanks guys.“

“Freshest foods-friendly staff members. Be sure to try amazing italian sandwiches, delicious buffalo chicken pizza, scruptious mozzarella sticks and toasted ravioli, in addition to their veggie wraps and chicken salad......and don’t forget the GELATO for dessert!“

“The coziest mom and pop store in Natick. We have been going there for years and the staff is so helpful and good. Great food. You can't go wrong if you order the barbecue chicken pizza. Definitely the best pizza is Natick. You can try half and half as well. Cold beers (Jack Abby) served as well.“

“Tasty pizza; will order again! I was a little leery of ordering given the frequency of negative reviews, not all of which are old. But Nick’s is close by and definitely local so I wanted to give it a try before counting it out, and I’m glad I did.

I saw that many of the low-star reviews involved ordering through a 3rd-party app so I went the old fashioned way and called the shop after looking at their menu online. I was asked to hold briefly then my order was taken: large steak bomb pizza and small side of hot wings. I was told 20 minutes and my order was waiting when I rolled in. The shop is small and a bit dingy, but that had no impact on the meal.

The pizza is delicious (I’m eating a second slice while I type). Good topping coverage but not so heavy that it flops down mid-bite. The crust isn’t too thick or too thin, well done but not burnt. The wings are nice and spicy, cooked well but not overdone and sufficiently saucy. The price was not bad, for New England, and they have a few other pies I want to try.

I’ll definitely be ordering at Nick’s Pizza House again.“

“I came in with high hopes and I was not disappointed.. Sam the owner was a very nice guy. This pizza is cooked well, I may order it well done next time but that’s a personal preference. I was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t a greasy pizza, the dough sauce n cheese all had good flavor. I will definitely be returning.“

“Late lunch. One of three people there. The other guys there where friendly and great to talk to. They told me everything there is made fresh, and pizza dough is made daily. The bartender Amy was personable, fun, and great! Met one of the owners too. Nice guy. All around great experience and food was excellent.
Highly recommend 👌“
