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“

“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!“

“Just ordered some yummy chicken bowl AMAZING! Hands down the best food I’ve had in a while!“

“Pizza is really good and both appetizers we shared were delicious, enough for 6 people.

Why I wasnt a big fan of this place:
1. My white wine wasnt very chilled and my friend’s paloma cocktail wasnt a hit.
2. And before it has been 1.5 hours even they just brought the check to the table which is kind of a mood killer for me.
3. When I asked to get black pepper for the pizzas, one waiter said we dont have it…. then a few minutes later it was brought in a little dish - how do you not have peppper in a pizza restaurant?“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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!!“

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

“awesome pizza and huge. My 10 year old approves.“

“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!“

“Who wants a slice? The varieties are almost endless. My favorite is the Sicilian, but just ask and the staff will make whatever you like. Simple, honest, and direct. Sit in and enjoy your pie or get it to go, either way you can't lose. When you're near Harvard, come here.“

“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!“

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

“Fiorella’s is my favorite restaurant in New England, and Concord is my favorite location of all Fiorella’s establishments. The food of course is excellent. But what really makes this place for me is THE STAFF. I always have a great time seeing all of them, they are so wonderful. Fiorella’s Concord has become main hangout spot not only for after work, but in general when I need a total mental health reset, and this decision on my part is because of the world class staff. I always leave Fiorella’s Concord in a better mood than when I came in because wonderful comfort food paired with an equally wonderful restaurant team makes for an A+ experience. As I like to say in situations like this, 10/10 no notes. THANK YOU FIORELLA’S CONCORD for being a major source of uplift in my life. Love you all!“

“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! 😊“

“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!“

“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 🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding. The service was equally impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.
The restaurant also offered great value for the quality of food and service provided. Whether you're visiting for a casual meal, a family gathering, or a special occasion, I would highly recommend this place. I look forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.“

“Food and service are excellent!“

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

“My friends' and my go-to place for group dinners. Their pizza is OUTSTANDING. Group favorites are the Little Italy and Motor City Roni. Every new person we introduce DPC to immediately takes to it. Yes, this is Detroit-style pizza outside of Detroit, but WOW is it delicious!!!! 10/10 would highly recommend.“

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

“This was my first time here. I wanted to try the handmade pasta so I ordered the spaghetti with shrimp in white wine sauce. First off, though I've only been to 2 or 3 places in the North End, this was better than anything I've had there thus far. I walked in on a Sunday night and got a seat in this small but charming place right away. I'm no expert on decor but to me it was like a balanced combination of rustic and modern with the brick wall and what looked to me like wooden wine boxes built in to a part of the wall juxtaposed to the velvety green stools splashed with black behind the counter. I noticed that there was a real flower placed in water on each table, as well. A small lit candle might have been even better, as it seemed like this is a place that couples like to go. There were two or three pairs affectionately focusing on each other. I can see why. Even though there's no privacy because it's very small, it's a cozy little place in very liberal Somerville. You can be yourself and not feel like others are judging. After I sat they brought out a large glass bottle of water, which was cool, that way I have no issues getting more if I'm thirsty. My order was done in like 5 minutes, even though 2 or 3 couples were waiting for there pizzas to come out. The pizzas are obviously a draw. They looked good as they were brought out. The pasta dish I ordered was perfectly cooked and the sauce was flavorful. I don't know if I had to order bread, but I wish I had some to sop up some of that sauce. I thought the dish could've been enhanced by a little salt and pepper along with a little crushed red pepper, since I like some heat, but I wanted to give the dish a chance as is. I have to say that many people would enjoy the dish as is, and I did as well. It was probably the best pasta I've ever had. This one woman was raving about it. She joked about opening her own place and stealing the chef. The portion was just right, too, even though I thought maybe one or two shrimp would've balanced out the ratio of pasta. You know what, I think that still works because to me the pasta was the star of the show. Giving you the chance to simply enjoy twirling that pasta covered in that sauce with the small variety of (grape?) tomatoes without a piece of shrimp seemed intentional, not profit driven. I didn't feel like I was getting ripped off, not with pasta that good.

As I said, I've eaten here one time, but I'm definitely going back. When I left I felt like I wanted to make it a regular thing. I spent 40 bucks (my meal was 30) and wasn't left feeling regretful. This is sort of like a hidden gem, though it's right on Broadway Street in Ball Square across from the green line in Somerville. It's a chill, comfortable but romantic atmosphere with an elevated feel and food that'll leave you satisfied. That's not an easy find from my experience. I've been disappointed by a lot of food in Boston but this was not one of those times. I'm eager to try the other things on their menu. And the service was beautiful, too. This place is doing it very well. Check em out.“

“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!“

“Passion and love is what I got when I came to this Dedham location. Nothing but A+ service from beginning to end. Nadege was so inviting, pleasant and patient when my family and I were trying to figure out what we wanted to order. To add the cheery on top of course after washing her hands and changing her gloves she put the most L-O-V-E in our subs, OMG🙌🏾 the best I’ve EVER tasted in a long time!
Now the pizza that Joanne made was superb!! All in all this experience here was today was great joy, haven’t been here in awhile but will be returning soon💙“

“Arams absolutely hit the spot after a late flight into Boston. Only a few spots were open and walkable from my hotel, and I’m stoked I picked here. This is everything you want in a no-frills, by-the-slice, basic pizza joint. Would absolutely visit again!“

“Great food and great staff.“

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

“Excellent Pizza. Best I have had in years. Cooked up as ordered, crispy. Dough is tasty and light. Quality ingredients (fresh mozzarella and fresh mushrooms) and tasty sauce. Friendly crew.“

“Fabulous pizza !! Thank you“

“Had such a great experience at Papa Gino’s in Stoneham! My mom and I ordered a large cheese pizza and a small breadstick, and everything came out fresh, hot, and delicious. What really made the visit stand out though was the service. Anthony was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to come across service like that these days. Definitely coming back again soon!“

“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 Cafe, got turkey sub, had lunch with my Aunt Rachel. Food was made Fast .“

“Nice cozy place in Somerville. A good fast pace authentic pizza & subs place to stop by with a large variety of food. A couple of things i tried on my short stay that were delicious to try was California wrap, Steak tip dinner, Shrimp spaghetti, Steak & Cheese Calzone, hot & spicy pizza. Everything i tried tasted delicious..“

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

“The pizza was great! The kids asked to come back the next time we’re in the area. They were impressed with the size of each slice! - Franchesca - Rochester, NY“

“Food is good. Parking is awful. when you get your bill u get a chargé for the kitchen.“

“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!“

“So I want to start by saying Kim was by far the most patient sweetest person. Her customer service skills were amazing I couldn’t have been more satisfied. I’m not from the area so she was patient and explained some of the best options. She was an amazing help. Not only would I come back for the service but the pizza was also wonderful.“

“We had an issue with Grub Hub, and ended up having the restaurant cancel the order (ordered large but they only had the small dough at the time, which I didn’t think would feed the family, they were very obliging in canceling) we ordered from Papa Gino’s which was more money, and honestly not great, my son (ASD and ARFID) didn’t like it and refused to eat because it was cold. Rocco’s then delivered a large caramelized onion, and gave it to us for free (we owe you a double tip next time, my husband forgot in the confusion). My son immediately dove in eating the onions off the piece and the rest of the piece of pizza. You have made a customer out of us. Not only because of the excellent customer service but the food was very good and reasonably priced. Can’t wait to try some of the other dishes as well, due to the reviews.“
