50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Newton Centre

“Best gluten free pizza anywhere! Really nice people Dino is the owner and he’s a delightful man.“

“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🌟“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

“Great pizza, great location!“

“Stopped by on our way from Norfolk Ice Arena, and the pizza was the best I've had in long while.

Hot, cheesy, with the smell to die for.
The server (not sure if he was the owner) was nice and helpful.

Will be back.“

“Every time I’ve gotten Johnny pockets I get service with a smile and delicious food! I’ve tried multiple different sandwiches and I’ve never been disappointed.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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 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! 😊“

“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!“

“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.“

“Stopped in on a Thursday night with the family, no reservations, and waited about 35 minutes for a table. Totally worth it.

We ordered two pizzas, the burrata salad, and a charcuterie board, and everything hit the mark. The pizzas were perfectly cooked, great crust and flavor, the burrata was fresh and creamy, and the charcuterie board was exactly what you’d hope for—quality meats and cheeses done right.

Food came out quick, service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe was casual but lively.

Bottom line: food was mad good, everyone left happy, and I’d absolutely come back.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Frank's is considered one of the original, if not the originator of New Haven pizza classics. Signature high temp coal fired ovens are famous for their charred chewy yet crisp pizzas. Dine in...soak up the experience and sit where you can watch the open kitchen. While this place does a ton of take-out, this style and specifically these pizzas are better enjoyed unboxed, fresh from the ovens to your table. Also, nothing says family nostalgia like drinking a bottle of red table wine from small juice glasses just like Sunday Dinner @ my great grandmother's!“

“This is hands down the best pizza and food in the area! I’ve officially stopped looking elsewhere because this place has everything I want. To top it off, the team is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend. Marvin the owner is great!“

“I came from Cambridge to get pizzas, Khalid the owner is the best pizza maker ever !!. My favorite pizzas are buffalo chicken and chicken with veggies really are 😋😋😋 my kids love to come here!!. I recommend this place for everyone want to eat healthy and delicious food. Really it’s outstanding pizza shop comparing to other places !.“

“I really loved the food here! Their pizzas and calzones are just amazing and totally worth trying. They have it all, subs, wraps, fried chicken… and oh, the fried chicken wings tossed in buffalo sauce are absolutely mouth‑watering! They even have slices to go. Definitely coming back here again!“

“Favorite new pizza spot of the area!! Has the traditional style of New London style pizza, slightly greasy but not overly so, fresh baked, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. Highly recommend the mushroom and hamburger pizza, as well as the Greek style. While they may not have the Wood-Fired pizza options that you might get at some other pizza places in Cambridge, you get really traditional Pizza. That is just really tasty and a really good value.

Also, while they are on delivery apps, always try to go in person if you were in the neighborhood as it is hard work to be a pizza place in this city!“

“Just grabbed a couple pizzas to go. They were really good. I ordered on line, and the service was friendly and easy.
The atmosphere wasnt all that great. Small, crowded and loud, but since I wasnt eating there, I did not care.
I would go back next time Im in Boston.“

“First time ordering here, great tasting food and good portions for the price. Would order again if we come back to the area.“

“Melt in your mouth delicious roast beef sandwich!!“

“Fabulous pizza !! Thank you“

“A hidden gem! 🌿 A small but incredibly cozy spot serving authentic Azerbaijani 🇦🇿 dishes full of flavor and soul ❤️ Every bite feels homemade and comforting. It’s honestly hard to choose what to eat — everything is so delicious, you’ll want to try it all!“
