Best Pizza in Town -- Sal and Katie's
-- 752 Washington St., Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: (781) 341-9403,(781) 341-5835 Fax: (781) 297-0112. Sal and Katie's serves Italian Pizza. We're talking the real thing here! This is not pizza from a chain restaurant or the Greek style pizza served at Town Spa and most of the other pizza places in town.
I admit, I'm biased, and I'm very particular about my Pizza, but nobody in town beats Sal and Katie's. I've only had other dishes a few times (cause I love their pizza. Have I mentioned that yet?). The other food was good too. The veal parm with ziti could easily feed two and the cheesesteak sub was great. I've had the Ceasar salad a few times and that is okay, although they should offer you anchovies (I've never asked for them). Their pizza is excellent! My personal favorite is the sausage pizza.Disclaimer: I am not a family member or a friend -- I just like their pizza and the people have always been very nice to me and my kids. Kid friendly is an important aspect of any restaurant in my opinion.
Best Upscale Restaurant in Stoughton -- Lastoria Italian Bar & Grill --
577 Washington Street, Stoughton, MA 02072
(781) 341-8900. This may be the only upscale restaurant in Stoughton, but I was very impressed with the food here with one minor exception. First of all they have some great focaccia bread that is served with the meal. According to the waitress they bake all of their own bread on the premises. The focaccia bread was outstanding. The other bread served was also good. It is served with a hummus for dipping. I'm usually not a big fan of hummus. I'll ask for some olive oil or butter for the bread, but this stuff was really good and it was served warm. I ordered the Ceasar salad and the Aragosta Ravioli "Fruitti di Mare"
which is Lobster Ravioli, Mussels, Sea Scallops and Shrimp, in a Mushroom-Saffron Cream sauce. My wife ordered a pasta dish that I can't remember the name of. It was long tubes of pasta with spinach and prosciutto in a lemon cream sauce. First off, the waitress asked if I wanted anchoives on my Ceasar salad (! point for the waitress) which of course I did! My dish was really good, the scallops were cooked perfectly, there were plenty of mussels, and the lobster raviolis were really tasty. The sauce was also excellent. My one disappointment was the shrimp which were a little chewy. I like mine with a crisp bite. Altogether it was a very good meal. My wife also enjoyed her meal which I tasted too. The prosciutto was particularily good. They have a very wide menu for such a small place. They have more choices than what is listed on their web site. Although I didn't sample the wine list or the desserts this time, it does appear that they have a full bar. This is a place I will definitely be back to. It was nice to find a restaurant this good right here in Stoughton!
Best Family Restaurant -- Bertucci's at Cobb Corner --95 Washington Street, Village Mall, Canton, MA 02021, Phone 781-828-9901
Yeah, I know it's a chain and I'd never go there for the pizza (at least the pizza is sort of Italian), but the food has always been good and it's a very family friendly place. I've had a number of different dishes and I've like all of them. Their calzones are huge and the hot dinner rolls they serve are excellent. I've never left here still hungry. There is always something the kids will eat and the staff tolerate the mess. Beats the Olive Garden by a mile!
Town Spa -- 1119 Washington St, Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: (781) 344-2030.
I have a strong bias for Italian style pizza. When I moved to Stoughton a few years ago, I was told that this was the place to go. I was disappointed with my first visit, I really didn't like the pizza at all. It is not Italian Pizza. It's more like the Greek style pizza served at all of the Houses of Pizza. I recently returned to spend a gift certificate I'd been given and I have raised my opinion a bit. I ordered the rotisserie chicken special. This was actually pretty tasty, although they brought me french fries instead of the mashed potatoes that are on the menu. The fries were good and my kids liked the fried cheese stixs and they liked the pizza. The place was full of kids, the prices are very reasonable, and they do have a full bar with a big screen TV. Go early, it gets very crowded on the weekends.
Olive Garden -- 401 Technology Center Dr., Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: (781) 297-5110.
I haven't been to the one in Stoughton, but I find the Olive Gardens I've been to a major disappointment. Sauces taste like they are out of a can and the bread sticks taste like garlicky Wonder Bread. I hate to say it, but I doubt I'll give the Stoughton one a chance unless relatives from out of town insist on going there.
Papa Gino's -- Two Stoughton locations. 115 Sharon St. Cobb's Corner Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: 781-344-8284 and 319 Washington St. Stoughton, MA 02072-1737 Phone: 781-344-1764.Italian Chain Pizza. I recently had some of their pizza at a kids party and it wasn't half bad for chain store pizza. At least it is Italian style and it's a good place for kids.
Papa John's -- 525 Washington St, Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: (781) 297-7272 Midwestern Italian Chain Pizza. Passable pizza. I've only gotten pizza from the Stoughton store once, but it tastes just like every other Papa John's pizza I've had.
Domino's -- 713 Washington St, Stoughton, MA Phone: (781) 344-0973Italian Chain Pizza designed for college kids. When I was in college in Ohio, I lived on this stuff, but it's hard to find good pizza in Ohio. I don't eat their pizza anymore because it's very average and I don't like their politics.
Chuck and Cheese House of Pizza -- 423 Washington St, Stoughton, MA Phone:(781) 344-1919Greek Pizza - haven't had it.
Lucky Pizza -- 356 Washington St, Stoughton, MA Phone: (781) 341-8833 Greek Pizza - okay if you like that kind of pizza - I don't! I've only been there once.
Primo's Pizza -- 1819 Central St, Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: (781) 297-0949
Greek Pizza (I think) - haven't had it.
Old Country Pizzeria -- 672 Washington St, Stoughton, MA Phone: (781) 341-4339Greek Pizza - haven't had it. Did have a decent Eggplant Parm sandwich there.
Denneno's Pizza & Subs -- 545 Pearl St, Stoughton, MA Phone: (781) 344-9803
Very average sort of Italian Pizza. I've only been there once, not much else to say.
Stoughton Pizza --
875 Washington Street, Stoughton, MA 02072
Phone: (781) 344-7172. I haven't been here yet. I'm guessing it's Greek Pizza.
Stoughton's Best Pizza and Seafood -- 839 Park St, Stoughton, MA Phone: (781) 341-0900
Greek Pizza - Haven't had it.
Cobb's Corner Pizza -- 8 Washington St, Canton, MA Phone: (781) 575-0929.
Haven't had it.
Piazza Pizzaria -- 752 Washington Street, Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: (781) 341-5835. Didn't even know this place existed. Will have to check it out, at least to see what kind of pizza they serve. My guess is Greek style.
Nocera's Italian Restaurant -- 1165 Park Street, Route 27, Stoughton, MA 02072 Phone: (781) 341-2503 Fax: (781) 341-2550. Haven't been here yet. It's kind of a family restaurant. Reasonable prices. They have menu items served family style that loook like a bargain.
