50 Best Pizza Restaurants near West Newton

“West Newton is tried and true. Its consistent. It’s everything you want for a sub shop. You’re not going there for some yuppie gourmet entree you’re going there for a solid sub and a Greek salad with chicken for your girlfriend. This place is steadfast. You’re getting what you asked for and it’s quality is dead on. We order from this place multiple times a week from work and there’s literally never an issue. 10/10 suggest west Newton pizza“

“We ran into this place on complete accident. Amazing staff and food! 🍕 Highly recommend! Go pack go! 🧀“

“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 !“

“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.“

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

“Great pizza, great location!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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!

“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.“

“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!“

“The sub was amazing one of the best I’ve had in years and I’m from New York you would think we in Philly“

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

“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 🥰“

“Charissa was great! Super helpful! I placed the call close to closing time. Charissa was who took my order. She had mentioned that she will get the team to help and get the order completed. I got there and the food was ready and Charissa was very welcoming & efficient. I love my papa Gino’s !“

“I am a self-proclaimed pizza snob and generally only enjoy NY-style pizza, but Royal Pizza & Subs makes an excellent pizza that rivals what I grew up eating. The sauce was perfectly seasoned, the sauce-to-cheese ratio was ideal, and the pepperoni was high quality. The medium-thickness crust was slightly different from NY-style pizza, but so delicious that I didn’t mind one bit! (It was a bit softer and chewier than what I’m used to, and I didn’t notice any semolina flour on the bottom.) My spouse doesn’t usually eat the crust, but we both finished every last bit of our slices! The pizza was a little greasy because of the generous portion of pepperoni, but who would complain about that?! Nothing a few napkins can’t fix!

The staff were super friendly and the service was great: our pizza was ready so quickly! The prices were also extremely reasonable for the amount and quality of food. I am so happy that this restaurant is so close to home: it’s going to become a regular place for us to eat at! We only tried the pepperoni pizza last night, but I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. If you’re in Somerville, don’t miss the chance to eat here!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Born and raised in Somerville, residing in NH for the past 19 years. Every time we head back from Boston we pick up a tray of pizza…the best!“

“Fabulous pizza !! Thank you“

“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!“

“Pepperoni pizza was GREAT!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Wow, if you like the best of the best in Craft beer, you gotta stop by, grabbed the garlic knots too, they were delicious...“

“Great pizza. Great family owned business for generations. Louis is part of the community and has been for a long time. Pizza is cooked all the way through. Sauce is consistent. It’s been the same since my first slice about 40 years ago. Atmosphere is for take out. It’s not a dine in type of place.“

“I love the pizzas, of course! My favorite: a white Roman with fresh spinach and tomatoes. Yum!“

“Best pizza in Waltham Crew was efficient and friendly Love papa ginos“
