“Way to go! Incredible Detroit Style Pizza for dinner tonight. Delicious and very different anything else in town. Great job!“

“I have been coming to the Hearth for many years...the staff is friendly, the atmosphere relaxing and comforting, and the food and beverages are from local sources, well prepared, tasty and satisfying. The owners and management have also shown a dedication to supporting the arts by encouraging local musicians to play at the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Really great food, really nice employees and super fast. Highly recommended, I go here about once a week on my lunch break :)“

“A fantastic spot with great vibes and incredible pizza! I tried the slice of the day — mushroom, broccoli, and fresh basil — and it was absolutely delicious.
We paid $10 for two generously sized slices, which would easily count as four slices in New York. Highly recommend!“

“Got a eggplant sub and it was out of this world good!!!! The bread was so delicious which really makes a huge difference in the taste. The eggplant was cooked perfectly perfect sliced and crispness! The sauce and cheese was good not over powering. Could use the cheese spread out some more would be my only suggestion. Would definitely go back and order the same and then try something different too!“

“Fast hot and delicious Yum Yum Yum“

“place has unique food, 1 of a kind pita bread and homemade wraps“

“I went for the first time earlier this week, and I thought it was great! Firstly they were very gracious about my indecisiveness on where I wanted to sit, and allowed me to switch tables. Twice. The bev list had a solid selection of natural wines from some of my favorite producers, but I ended up ordering a glass of one I've never tried before - a skin contact Carricante which matched nicely with the light char on our pizza. The food was fresh and vibrant, our server was attentive and engaging (sorry hun, I forgot your name, even though I asked a couple times, but you deserve a shout-out). Long story short, I went in hungry and slightly grumpy, I left happy and with a satisfied stomach.“

“Worth a trip on the T to JP just for this pizza. Small place with 3 stools to sit so grab your pizza and find somewhere to eat it. Got the Salsiccia pizza and the pesto sauce was delicious and pizza was cooked well. no soggy slice. It was a 15ish minute wait“

“I came here late night on a Saturday and enjoyed a slice of Pepperoni Pizza. It was SO TASTY. My favorite style pizza and it did not disappoint. It was very busy inside but I was in and out with a hot slice within 5 minutes. Pizza lovers, you have to try Joe’s!!“

“Small hole in the wall but Fire pizza!“

“Great pizza an salad plus awesome non alcoholic drinks !“

“Incredibly delicious flavors and textures from the Middle East and Mediterrenean!
Savory, tangy, smoky, sesame, and fresh!

Vegetarian options: Babaghanoush, felafel, fatoush,Tabouli, eggplant paremsan sandwich, hummus and pita, and more“

“The best chicken parm pocket i ever had in my life…Very clean place and the best customer service very friendly 💜“

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

“Even though we no longer live in Natick, we still get our pizza, subs, chicken tenders and fries from here every time we are in the area. We love it and so do our kids. Highly recommend!!!“

“Wow what a good meal it was“

“I've never left a google review in my life but I cannot speak more highly of this place.

I made a big mistake about a catering order I placed 2 hours before an event that my nonprofit was holding. I spoke to who I assume was the owner of the restaurant and he was SO kind and accommodating. He created a catering order for me that he knew would feed the amount of guests at the event and due to my confusion (which was entirely my fault), without hesitation he offered to have it delivered to the event even though the restaurant does not deliver. I am certain that the amount of food definitely cost more than the amount that he charged me. He also offered to throw in free cookies after I shared we are a nonprofit. Not only was all of his kindness greatly appreciated by our organization but after the event ended, multiple attendees expressed how delicious the food was. One asked where the chicken alfredo was from so they could go get some themselves!! We have never received a post-event email about the food before!!

Much gratitude for your kindness and delicious food.“

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

“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.“

“Great addition to Somerville! We stopped in and had a glass of wine at the counter while we waited for our pizzas to go. I love woodfired pizza and these did not disappoint. We had the Prosciutto di Parma and the Pollo both absolutely delicious. Very inviting atmosphere with fast and friendly service.“

“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.“

“Delicious authentic food, very friendly staff. Def worth it!“

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

“One of the better slices of pizza I've had in my life and the same can be said for the chicken ceasar wrap. Portion sizes and taste are pretty much unbeatable for the price in Boston- 10/10. The guy behind the counter when I grabbed my food was also super nice.“

“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.“

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

“Best Pizza Ever – Made by Kerry!
Absolutely delicious pizza every time! The crust, the toppings, the flavor – all perfect. And it’s all thanks to Kerry, who truly makes the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Plus, Dilza and Michele are the sweetest and most amazing attendants – always welcoming with a smile.“

“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!!“

“We were very happy with our first order from brothers! We got a gluten free Greek pizza with chicken which was delicious and loaded with toppings. We also got a Cobb salad which was also delicious and huge! Both are solid options for dinner. We will order from here again.“

“Fantastic pizza!! The crust is crispy and tender like it should be. Cooked perfectly. The other non-pizza items are ALL great as well. Nice little bar area too serving great drinks.“

“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!

“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 🥰“

“Frank Pepe's is my favorite local pizza restaurant. Their New Haven style pizza is a thin crispy crust with minimal toppings that's cooked in a coal oven.
It comes out hot and steaming and delicious.

Their tomato pie (only available in season) and their clam pie are unique classics.

My favorite is their pepperoni and cherry tomatoes. The pepperoni comes out crispy and lightly burnt and it's perfectly complemented by the spicy peppers.

It's great for kids and families, and it's a unique place for dates!“

“This was my first experience with Blaze Pizza, and it was fantastic. The build your own pizza option was ideal for group of friends out shopping and enjoying Boston. The original crust is perfectly thin and crispy and tasted freshly made. You get to choose your own sauce and they have many options. I got the creamy white sauce base with mozzarella, grilled chicken, black olives, roasted broccoli, and mushrooms. It was so good and was 6 reasonably sized slices. I brought half of mine home. You’d think a custom made pizza would take awhile, but it didn’t. The pizza oven was right in front so you could see your pizza cooking. They have a few dessert options, but we were too full to try any. I do think the s’mores pie would have been gooey perfection with just a few seconds in the pizza oven. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal!“

“I have a complaint to be made, the chef Orlin Garcia himself, who works at the establishment, said that Mr. Carlos, the owner of Mak's.the kitchen is very dirty, there are a lot of rats, if basic sanitation is improved there, people will run the risk of catching leptospirosis, the snacks are very tasty and very dirty. Max Orlim Garcia's cook brought me a snack, my son-in-law said don't eat it because Mr. Carlos, the owner of the pizzeria, uses leftover food from other people at the table or what's left over As I said, Americans drool with desire for this burger, even though it's leftovers from other tables. He's a dirty and disgusting person, and Orlim himself helps to remake the burgers.“

“Great pizza an salad plus awesome non alcoholic drinks !“

“The staff and service are always exceptional when I stop here. It is easy to see that the service plaza is falling apart and filthy but Papa Gino’s is always very clean and ready to help the very few people who come through that plaza. I commend the staff on their attention to detail and their efforts to help guests like myself“

“Let me just say — this place gets it. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was straight-up amazing. Cozy, welcoming, with that perfect mix of local charm and cool energy. You know you’re in for something special.

Now the staff? Delightful. Friendly without being fake, quick with the service, and genuinely seem like they enjoy being there (which totally adds to the vibe). It’s like you’re walking into a spot where everyone’s in a good mood — and it rubs off on you especially Victoria!!

Okay now: THE PIZZA. WOW. I don’t know what kind of sorcery is going on in that kitchen, but every bite was pure perfection. Crispy crust, rich sauce, melty cheese, and toppings that were fresh and flavorful. You can tell the people making it are serious pizza bosses.

I’ve had a lot of pizza. This place? Top tier. A full-on pizza experience. Highly recommend — whether you’re a die-hard pizza fan or just someone who appreciates good food and good vibes.“

“Delicious, fresh original pizza! Enjoyed every bite!“

“Fabulous pizza !! Thank you“

“I went to the Widow Maker Brewery. We ordered a hamburger pizza. It was delicious. Well laced and crispy dough. These guys know their stuff. Highly recommend their pizza. I personally think it blows away the town spa and Lynnwood and the others.“

“The pizza was delicious! The staff is very friendly and even gave us a free dessert! Those friend dough bites are phenomenal! Highly recommend!“

“Amazing pizza, perfect crust, and friendly service! My top choice for a pizza night.“

“Sammy’s makes the best buffalo chicken pizza in Boston and the surrounding area. I have tried the top rated places for buffalo chicken pizza and Sammy’s is my favorite. I even walk all of the way from MIT to pick it up, it’s that good! I don’t know how they make it so good, they nail the blend in ingredients and the fried chicken is spectacular. The shop owners are brothers and are so friendly and generous in sharing their knowledge. I am so glad I found this place, I encourage you to try this hidden gem in Brighton.“

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

“I drive all the way to Newton from the North Shore to get this pizza! It’s a slice of heaven! The staff are very friendly and genuinely good people. Nick is the owner-so nice to chat with and Ashley is one of the workers who makes me feel like I am the Top costumer!The absolute BEST!10 out of 10“

“The toasted Italian was great“

“I went with my family on a road trip and stumbled across Johnnie’s and we absolutely made the rite decision! The wings are fenomenal and the calzones are so delicious as well! So happy we stopped in to eat here! Also the service was fantastic!“

“Imo, Union Square lacks great pizza. Sure, all the Indian joints around here make good pizza. Hotbox is great. However, they all feel like a different pizza experience that isn’t the “classic” pizza I’ve been looking for. For me, Caesar’s hits that mark.

Stopped in for a slice of cheese pizza on a 90 degree day in June. No flop, cheese to sauce ratio was just what I like. Atmosphere feels old school, lots of coke memorabilia, good classics being played over the radio. AC was on and I was enjoying a cold bottle of Mexican Coke. Is this not the ideal atmosphere for consuming pizza??

Owner was focused but friendly. I’ll def be coming back!“
