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“

“Awesome people and delicious food done fast and for a reasonable price! Quit reading my review; pick up the phone and order! 🤤“

“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🌟“

“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!!“

“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“

“My favorites include deep dish pizza, chicken salad sub, roast beef sub, and spinach pie.“

“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.“

“The best pizza in Boston!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I guess we would be considered regulars. The food is exceptional and it is matched by the service we receive.
Jason was a server last night and he was friendly attentive and patient since one of our group members did not make it.
Rick has put together a team that is cohesive, efficient and friendly.
Thank you for the total dining experience!“

“the food was fresh outstanding! You must try it“

“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 🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

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

“Food and service are excellent!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Fabulous pizza !! Thank you“

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

“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!“

“STONEHAM Papa Ginos is great! Taylor the manager and Sam the shift leader are such an amazing team!! Each is beyond friendly and courteous and adds a personal touch to fast food! It’s what Papa Ginos was like in the past. Stoneham team treats each customer with the utmost respect and goes out of their way to provide excellent service!!“

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

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

“Im suprised at some of these comments.
They are the nicest people, always pleasant both over the phone and in person. It has been a staple in our community and we order regularly.
Food is always good, never disappoints.
Prices have gone up a bit, but unfortunately that is everywhere.
Highly recommend boneless buffalo tenders... the best! Onion rings are fantastic as are the fried pickles which suprised me. A good fried pickle is hard to come by although i would prefer more of a spicy dipping sauce. Steak and cheese is good and pizza is too.Best in the neighborhood. Salads are always fresh. Nicks is definitely my go to place!“

“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“

“Never a bad experience ! Food and service great ! Employees always helpful with a smile !“

“Yummm- I went here for the first time tonight and the food was fabulous! My partner & I have been looking for an elevated pizza place with cocktails, and we finally found our new spot. Loved the paper plane and the homemade pepper dirty martini. For apps, we tried the crostini which was fabulous, & the doc/sausage pizza. Great atmosphere & will definitely be back! A must try.“

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

“Terrific old school style pizza. Cooked perfectly, tasty ingredients, fast service. Found this place on a day when we needed food quickly. We are tired of artisan pizzas that are all crust, charred, and have skimpy toppings. Finding a pizza that is reminiscent of our go to pizza from our youth really hits the spot. Well priced too. Nice surprise. We'll be back.“

“The deli sandwich I had was good, the clam chowder was one of the best I had since I been home“

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