Still the Best Pizza in Town
Sal and Katie's
752 Washington St.
Stoughton, MA 02072
Phone: (781) 341-9403 or (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.
Coming soon: A diatribe on the difference between Italian and Greek Pizza.
Best Upscale Restaurant in Stoughton
Lastoria Italian Bar & Grill

Stoughton, MA 02072

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 (1 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: (78) 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!

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 returned about a year ago 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

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.

Italian Chain Pizza. I 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

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. My daughter likes the garlic butter.

This is a very average italian family style restaurant. Reasonably priced, but don't expect any thing fancy. I haven't had their pizza.
Criscuolo's Little Italy
This is a new place. I just discovered it today. It's in the building near the Train Station. Two other restaurants have been in this same spot. I hope this one has better luck. I haven't tried it yet.
