50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Winchester

“I’ve been coming to this business for years. Since 2000. Except, in 2000, this review would get 5 stars on the account of a cheaper pricetag for items and more food for your buck. Today, you’re paying more for so little. PROS: Friendly staff, delicious food. Welcoming atmosphere.
CONS: Certain items are pricey. Less food for that high price tag.
I will continue to come to this establishment despite the prices because the service and food itself but I wish they’d shave a few dollars off on some items.“

“As a student, finding time to eat between classes is often a challenge. With tight schedules, long walks across campus, and limited breaks, lunch usually becomes an afterthought rather than a moment to relax and enjoy a proper meal. In situations like this, having a reliable place that is both quick and satisfying makes a significant difference. For me, this Domino’s stood out as the best possible option when time was extremely limited.

What truly sets this location apart is its efficiency without sacrificing quality. The ordering process is fast, the staff is organized, and the food is prepared promptly, which is essential for students who cannot afford to wait long. Despite the speed of service, the food exceeded expectations. The flavors were rich, fresh, and surprisingly refined, making it feel far more elevated than typical fast food. For something that can be picked up quickly, it genuinely delivered a five-star, gourmet-tasting experience.

Additionally, the convenience of this Domino’s makes it ideal for students constantly on the move. Its accessibility allows students to grab a meal and still make it to their next class on time without stress. Instead of settling for something bland or unsatisfying, this location provides a dependable option that feels both indulgent and practical.

Overall, this Domino’s proves that fast food does not have to mean low quality. For students with packed schedules and little time to spare, it offers the perfect balance of speed, taste, and reliability. When you are in a hurry but still want a meal that feels thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable, this Domino’s is an outstanding choice.“

“Toscano's kitchen is one of Winchester's classic establishments a staple of a sub-Winchester culture. Toscana or Buscalonos as we sometimes call it, is known throughout the town for its classic Buffalo Chicken pizza(BuffChick). The 2 slices and a drink deal for $7 earns makes it the best bang for your buck in the town. If you get the 2 slices and a drink deal you must put the complimentary Hot sauce and Ranch to really elevate the dish(ask Mr.Busky the proprietar of the establishment for the sauce). As for the service the owner is a genius and visionary and has changed the town for the better. Only Respect for Mr.Buskys himself.“

“Food was excellent good Italian pizza and I spent 10 plus years making pizza in the North End girl on register had a beautiful smile and face with curves and all the right places Beauty like that only makes the food taste better unfortunately a low selection of soda but willing to look past it thanks to micro Brews on tap West a great ambience Frank Sinatra music was feeling my ear as the smell of true authentic food with filling the air! All around I would give them more stars if I could“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Genuinely awe-struck by the size of that Super Beef. Next time I'll order it light sauce because this swimming pool trend is insane, but the beef was outstanding, the peppered sauce had a great bite. Staff was awesome and cordial. Dining room is... Hey it has chairs and tables. Fine for me.“

“Great pizza, great location!“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Best place,great food.Highly recommend 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“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“

“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.“

“Small hole in the wall but Fire pizza!“

“First time, to go order. Ready on the spot, properly prepared gluten free pie, exactly as ordered, and very tasty. Saw other reviews stating best GF crust in the area, and it's definitely a solid contender for a traditional style pie for an out-of-towner. That it's substantially larger (by roughly 20%) than a normal GF pizza anywhere else helps, too. Will visit again.“

“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.“

“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...“

“The best pizza in Boston!“

“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! 😊“

“Had an awesome meal here! We ordered the Polpette Sandwich, Salsiccia Pizza, and the Bianco, and honestly, they were all amazing. The Bianco pizza stole the show—it was perfectly cooked, cheesy, and bursting with flavor. The staff is super friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and inviting. The vibe of the place is casual and fun, perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends or family. Everything felt fresh, tasty, and just done right. I can’t recommend it enough if you love good pizza, friendly service, and a chill spot to hang out. We’ll definitely be back soon to try even more from the menu!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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 🍕“

“We placed a big order for my son’s first birthday party this past weekend and we were so happy with both the food and great service. We called the night before because we weren’t sure if we had ordered enough and the owner answered the phone and was happy and quick to assist us. We already loved the food, but it’s nice knowing that the owner and the staff care so much about what they do and their customers. We will happily continue to order food from here!“

“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.“

“I went to the pizzeria after a long day in Malden. Right as you walked in the door you could tell they had good quality food. There were about five tables for people to sit at. Each one has at least four seats. The table and seats were clean and there was no food or leftover crumbs on the table. The staff were nice and the food got to us in less than ten minutes. I got the ziti meatballs, and they were really good. I also got a small plate of fries to go with it. The food was delicious and I definitely recommend going there if you are floating around Malden.“

“Food and service are excellent!“

“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!“

“Was looking for a new pizza place to try, Nella’s is great! Generous with the toppings. They don’t skimp. Solid undercarriage and perfect proportions of sauce and cheese. Delicious. Must try!“

“Coming from Vegas where good pizza is scarce, we couldn’t have enjoyed this fresh traditional style pizza more! And they had tons of toppings and recipes to choose from. We wish our bellies were bigger to enjoy the sandwiches and pastas too. We will definitely return if we make it back to this side of the country again. And the staff was very friendly allowing our family to feel very welcome“

“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!“

“Our waitress was very good and didn't need to write anything down yet still got everything correct for a party of 10. That alone was impressive.

I'm not a fan of their pizza but their bbq meat is absolutely worth it. I forgot how good it is.

The lamb and sausage were both great and the portions were better than expected.

It's simple and rustic but it hits the spot.“
