7 Best Salad Restaurants near Newton

“This is a nice local pizza place where the pizzas, though a little doughy and oily, hit the spot in the right way.Food (4/5):There is a large variety of pizzas, from which you can buy slices, or pies ranging from medium to large. I got a medium pie for a 20$ that I was able to eat over two meals myself (I got the clam pizza). The taste of the pizza was very good, but it was a bit oily for my tastes. Plus, the dough was a little chewy; I like to eat the crust, but it's a full mouth workout to eat. Although I think the 20$ price tag for a medium pie was a bit pricy for my tastes, it's definitely better than what you get at a chain.Service (5/5):The people who work there are very friendly and are rather quick in producing your order. Sometimes they strike a conversation while you eat or wait (only if you want to though)!Atmosphere (4/5):The vibe is of a local pizza joint, which I appreciate; it feels very local. However, there's not much seating around; only about 3 to 4 tables inside, 1-2 outside, and 2 hightops with no seats. Great if you're just picking up, but eating there might be a bit cramped.Overall, a great joint for some non-chain, local pizza!“

“The chili is amazing. I can’t ever make it home without digging in on the way. Getting soup and chicken from the same place is genius, a full meal that tastes like it came from your own kitchen.“

“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 food was fantastic!! We couldn’t believe we had never been here when we have literally lived 3 mins down the road for the last 3.5 years. I got the lobster and shrimp scampi and it was so delicious. My husband got the lamb rack and he also thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was good and quick, and our waiters were friendly. The only thing I didn’t like about the restaurant was that it’s really small, so if it’s crowded, it’s REALLY crowded, cramped, and LOUD. There was a table next to us seating about 10-12 60 something year olds for a birthday, and they were extremely loud. Yelling, hollering, laughing super loudly. After a day at work this was overstimulating and overwhelming for me. This was supposed to be a date night for my husband and I but I’m not so sure we will be going here for a date night again. Maybe just a casual drop in. It doesn’t have the somewhat quiet vibes that an anniversary dinner should have ? I guess these people didn’t know the concept of an inside voice. I know it’s their birthday, but try to be considerate to other patrons and their experience. Thankfully they were really only loud before they got their food and after they were done with it. Lol.“

“Great pizza! Came here based on a recommendation and our family gives two thumbs up! Will definitely be returning often.“

“We recently stayed in Newton for a mini vacation from Canada (visiting Boston). Every night of our stay we ate at this restaurant. I know, not overly adventurous but when the food is this good and the atmosphere is right, why bother looking? You won’t find better! We tried: - Pan seared chicken: AMAZING. - Fish and chips: when you live on the east coast it’s hard to get good fish and chips but these hit the mark! - Filet Mignon: Full of flavour and tender. - Steak Tips: Again, tender and full of flavour. - Risotto: Wonderfully strong mushroom flavour but yet offset with a field of flavours. - Scallops: Seared to perfection. - Short-rib Meatballs: Meat and cheese combo to die for. - Calamari: Another difficult one to get right and find fresh! This was one of my favourite with the dip and hot peppers. - Sirloin: Cooked to perfection, flavour was a hit and a good portion size, well worth the money. THE HOUSE SALAD: All I can say, EMAIL ME THE RECIPE FOR THE DRESSING!! This was the best item for me on the menu. Fresh, simple and full of flavour. I got it with every meal. So to recap: 10/10“

“We recently hired Sweet Tomatoes to cater our backyard wedding. From the moment we spoke with Hedy, we felt at ease. We knew we loved the food, but we were immediately sold on her. She was friendly, kind, and helpful. She made suggestions for the menu and was sensitive to our guests with allergies. She provided a menu that was mouth-watering. Our guests could not stop raving about the hors d’oeuvres and the pizza. Our guests with gluten, dairy, nut, and even tomato allergies were well taken care of.

Hedy thought of everything. She was easy to work with and thought of details that we had forgotten about and took care of them for us (getting enough ice, providing adorable ice buckets for our drinks).

Most importantly, Hedy and her INCREDIBLE staff made us feel so well-taken care of at our wedding. They were kind, friendly, attentive, and went the extra mile with the cleanup (they organized our porch for us, ok? Come on, who does that?!). The servers made sure we were fed, and at the end of the night, Hedy had carefully packed slices of each kind of pizza for us and left them in our freezer because she suspected we were too busy to try everything while we were mingling with our guests. So thoughtful.

I simply cannot recommend Hedy Jarras and her phenomenal Sweet Tomatoes staff enough to cater your next event. 12/10, 6 stars, 5 thumbs up, 100% rotten tomatoes review, A++.“
