Pizza/Italian Food
Stoughton has been adding and changing pizzeria's faster than I can keep up with. I'll try to add as many of the new one's as I can, but I haven't tried most of them yet. If I missed your favorite, send me the info and I'll put it up.
Central Street Pizzeria & Grille
37 Dykeman Way
Stoughton, MA 02072
Phone: (781) 344-3199
Central Street Pizzeria and Grille has taken over as the best best Italian Pizza in Stoughton since the demise of Sal and Katie's. This has become the pizzeria of choice for both carry-in and eat out in our house. It has gotten better over time. It is a thin, but not too thin crust. My only complaint is that they make a big pizza for slices, but the large pizza offered on the menu is not that big. They should offer the larger size to people ordering whole pies. I haven't tried any of the other food yet. This is in the building where the old Elliott's Deli was for years. Then there was another Deli that was there for such a short time, I never got there to try the food. I hope this place has better luck. Stoughton needs a good Italian pizza in town.

Olivio's Grill and Pizzeria
752 Washington St.
Stoughton, MA 02072
Phone: (781) 344-3366
Olivio's serves Italian Pizza, but they have some combinations of ingredients offered that leans toward a Brazilian flavor. I've only had the pizza there a couple of times. I had the cheese pizza. Everything tasted good. The crust was very thin. A little thinner than I like it. I'd love to try some of the other varieties, but the rest of my family is not too adventurous. They don't seem to have a website yet.
Sal and Katie's -R.I.P. The best pizza Stoughton ever had is out of business. It has been replace by Olivio's
Main Street Pizza
713 Washington St # C
Stoughton, MA 02072-4225
(781) 344-3311
I've had the pizza here several times and so has my family. It's pretty good and it is Italian style. For some reason the crust, especially on the outside edge is really dry. I don't know if it is the way they cook it or the way they prepare it, but this stops it from being my favorite in town. It's stuck in a little building with a couple of other businesses, just north of down town. I think this is where the Domino's used to be. It's a big step up from Domino's. The people have been very friendly. If the crust was less dry, it might beat Central Street Pizzaria and Grille.
Best Upscale Restaurant in Stoughton
Lastoria Italian Bar & Grill
577 Washington Street
Stoughton, MA 02072
Phone: (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 (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 a while 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. I still don't like the pizza.
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. I will say that I ate lunch at the Framingham Olive Garden (someone else's choice) and had a pretty good meal. Maybe this place deserves a shot.

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
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 ever had. My daughter likes the garlic butter.

Piezoni's Pizza
839 Park Street
Stoughton, MA 02072
(781) 344-3999
They describe it as "bar pies." It looks like Greek Pizza in the pictures. Haven't had it.
Little Caesars Pizza
386 Washington St.
Stoughton, MA 02072
(781) 297-7222
This is chain store Italian Pizza. Haven't had it since I lived in Ohio. Don't know why you'd go to a chain when you've got so many other choices. It is cheap, I'll give them that.

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.

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
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 tried their pizza. It was Italian style, but I wasn't impressed. Haven't tried anything else.
