Pizza is a pretty personal subject. Everyone has their favorite style and preferred toppings, and the rivalry between clan thin crust and team thick crust may never be put to rest. However, we’ve assembled a collection of pizza places across Massachusetts that are so good, they’ll make you lay down your arms and pick up a hot slice instead. Check out these incredible pizza shops and prepare to drool all over your screen. In fact, we’d consider them 12 of the best pizza places in Massachusetts. Take a look and see if you agree.
If you’re looking for outrageous flavors and crazy combinations, this is your stop. Easy Pie has twenty signature pizzas and twenty signature sauces, and every creation is a carefully composed explosion of deliciousness. Try zany pies like the Mac Daddy (ground beef, Thousand Island sauce, onions, pickles, and lettuce) or what might be their most epic pie: The Lord of the Rings (shaved steak, deep-fried onion rings, mozzarella cheese, pickles, and a BBQ drizzle). Check out the menu and order online on the official website of Easy Pie.
Thin-crust wood-fired pies and American-Italian standards draw discerning fans of delectable pies to this cozy spot. This place can get pretty busy (it is one of the best pizza places on the island, after all), so make sure you get there early to nab a good table. The sauce is peppery yet perfectly sweet, the ingredients are fresh, and the crust is thin and buttery. For fresh-caught seaside flavor, try their white clam pizza with juicy clams, garlic parsley, and pecorino romano. If you're not in the mood for pizza, you can also get such Italian favorites as hot subs, cold subs, and pasta meals. Browse the full menu on the official website of Pi Pizzeria.
This is a great spot to catch a bit of summer sunshine while you nom on your pizza. With a beautiful grassy lawn and a view of the water, Hot Tomatoes is a wonderful place to come with the whole family. Try their delicious White Clam pizza, featuring fresh ocean clams, fresh garlic, and a variety of cheeses. If seafood isn’t your thing, you can’t go wrong with The Cattleman, topped with a savory medley of ground beef, sweet Italian sausage, pepperoni, and crispy bacon. You can, of course, also order a slice of classic cheese topped with or without pepperoni. Grab a slice and spend a summer night enjoying your pizza as the Green River rolls by. Review the menu or order online on the official website of Hot Tomatoes Pizza.
Volturno serves consistently awesome pies and funky cocktails in a modern and chic setting. This place is a foodie paradise. Many of the pies come topped with homemade and hand-stretched Stracciatella di bufala cheese that the staff makes in the morning before the restaurant has even opened, and each pizza comes with real san marzano tomatoes. The can’t-miss pie? Definitely their pistachio pizza, topped with fresh pistachio. Fair warning; your mouth's likely to start watering when you take a peek at the menu on the official website of Volturno Pizza.
Though this is the bustling flagship location of a small local chain, Baba Louie’s keeps things traditional. They serve up wood-fired pies with sourdough crust and gourmet toppings. It’s a great place to go after skiing the nearby slopes or just when you’re in the mood for a steaming slice of cheesy goodness. The sourdough crust is truly the star here, and you can’t go wrong with their BBQ chicken pizza. Check out Baba Louie's locations and menus on the official website of Baba Louie's.
The dough: thin, buttery, and chewy. The toppings: insanely fresh and bursting with flavor. The pizza: to die for. Charcoal Guido’s grows their own basil, purchases their produce from local farmers, and their wood-fired oven is imported directly from Italy. This place takes authentic Italian flavor very seriously and serves up pizza with heart as well as flavor. Try the fresh and light gorgonzola, fig, and arugula pizza. It’s the perfect pie any time of the year. And for dessert, save room for their Nutella pizza. Sooooo goooood. Check out the full menu and make reservations on the official website of Charcoal Guido's.
The name says it all. Good ingredients paired with friendly and talented staff. They use local and organic ingredients whenever possible and still keep the prices reasonable for high-end pizzas. The crusts are perfect every time, and they do offer gluten-free and vegetarian options. Try the Spanish-inspired "Amigo" pizza, which comes topped with all-natural chicken, fresh cilantro, black beans, red onions, jalapeño peppers, and a bold cheese blend. Head over to the official website of Amazing Pizza to browse the full menu.
Many Somerville locals swear this place dishes up the most authentic Sicilian pies this side of the Mediterranean. A real family-owned pizza place with classic recipes, Leone’s skews more to the big, messy and hearty side of the pizza scene, rather than the dainty and gourmet pies you’ll see at many modern parlors. Things to know: there’s not a lot of seating, and this place is cash only. The trade-off? You get some truly mouth-watering pizza for just a few bucks a slice. I highly recommend their meatball and eggplant pie, which features a doughy, rich crust that will haunt your dreams. Browse the full menu then order online on the official website of Leone's Pizza.
Buttery, rich, and perfectly cooked crust is the foundation of a great pizza, and as a bakery, this place really knows how to treat their crust. Locals absolutely rave about their delicious loaves and flaky croissants, but the pizza is just as good and just as crave-worthy. Try the smoked gouda and sun-dried tomato pizza for a classic country flavor. Don’t forget to get there early to beat the lines! Take a peek at the pizza menu on the official website of Berkshire Mountain Bakery.
This is a cozy and laid-back tavern offering an upscale pub menu alongside craft beers, wine and some pretty cool cocktails. Like their name suggests, this is great place to much on some really top-notch flatbread pizza. If you’re not afraid of stepping outside the proverbial pizza box, try their mayonnaise, arugula, corn, tomato and bacon pizza. Order for takeout or just take a look at the full menu on the official website of Railtrail Flatbread Company.
This sweet little pizza place in Lenox is decorated like a beach shack and covered with Christmas lights. Not only is the pizza delicious, but the fun and friendly environment guarantees a great experience. This small pizza joint packs a lot of sassy attitude into their creations: you can get a pizza loaded with hot wings, or even a pizza shaped like a heart. We recommend the Blue Crush pie, topped with avocado and seasoned chicken. Get a glimpse of the menu and the pizza joint's vibe on the official website of Betty's Pizza Shack.
This is a great spot to go for a classy night of pizza munching. Their pizza offerings are definitely on the artisan side of the scale, with fresh toppings arranged thoughtfully on pies that are definitely on the smaller scale. If you're looking for pizza that plays up the flavors of its crust and isn't bogged down with too much on top, Tomasso will suit you just right. Learn more on the official website of Tomasso Trattoria.

Where can I find the best pizza in Massachusetts?
We all probably have our own opinion about what pizza joint serves the best pizza in Massachusetts. However, we can probably agree that Village Pizza deserves a mention. The popular pizza joint serves Greek-style pizza, which means a slice, or two, is sure to fill you up. Order your pizza pie to go, or kick back and relax in the cozy pizza joint. For some of the most delicious and creative pizzas, make your way to Rock City Pizza in Allston.
Which tiny restaurants in Massachusetts are worth trying?
We sure know how to eat well in Massachusetts. In fact, we have so many restaurants that we could probably spend years exploring them all. For a tiny but mighty meal, head over to Tiny But Mighty, an adorable restaurant in Ayer that serves some of the best food in the state. (If you like fries, you’ll love their golden fries, which you can even get with breakfast.) If tiny is your style, you’ll also want to stop by Passports Restaurant in Gloucester. While the eatery may be tiny, it boasts a mighty punch when it comes to flavor and originality. The menu features everything from classic burgers to seafood.
What are the best hidden gem restaurants in Massachusetts?
Some of the best local restaurants in Massachusetts are hidden gems, hidden because they sit in an assuming setting that most of us would just pass by. Jack’s Hot Dog Stand in North Adams, for example, has been a favorite since 1917 (more than 100 years!) and serves some of the state’s best hot dogs. Four Leaf Clover in Bernardston has been dishing up hearty homemade meals since the mid-20th century. Vick’s Waffle House in Tewksbury, Spanky’s Clam Shack in Hyannis, and Kool Kone in Wareham are also worth a visit.
