Mario’s – Some basic pizza from a great old Italian place in Lexington, MA
I usually order the Buffalo Chicken Calzone when visiting Mario’s, but sometimes I’m in a pizza mood. To be fair, oftentimes I’m in a pizza moode. The ‘small’ size is more than adequate for one person. Maybe two. But in my case, it’s one. Parking is easy on the street or in the metered parking…

A little homemade pan pizza
Dough: Market Basket plain dough Sauce: Wegman’s fresh sauce Cheese: Wegman’s shredded whole milk mozz. Toppings: Cooking: 450 oven in a cookie sheet for ~15mins Review: I liked the way this came out. The dough needed to get used up so I was happy to make it easy. I should have left it in longer…

SliceWorks, Berlin CT: Just Okay, Nice People
No photo — a spontaneous stop in Berlin, CT the day before this post, late morning. The pizza itself was just okay. The staff, though, were genuinely nice about it: no pre-made pepperoni slices ready to go, so they tried to fake one together on the spot — and didn’t quite get the pepperoni properly…

Breakfast Pizza From a Gas Station, and It Ruled
Excellent breakfast pizza — scrambled eggs, bacon, a cheddar-mozzarella blend, cut into wide slices — and here’s the part that actually matters: it came from a Kwik Fill gas station in South Wales, NY. Not a pizzeria with a breakfast side hustle. An actual gas station, doing this well. Rural gas-station food service is genuinely…

Regina Pizzeria, Burlington Mall: Fine, But Wait for the Original
Apologies in advance for the photo on this one — food court lighting and a rushed shot did it no favors. Two pepperoni slices at the Regina Pizzeria in the Burlington Mall, early April 2026. Honest take: the mall location is fine, but it’s nowhere near the original in the North End. That’s not really…

The Most Recent Entry, Sudbury, April 2025
The newest pizza in this whole 15-year archive — April 2025, Sudbury, Massachusetts, photographed close-up on a wire rack in a style that would look right at home next to any of this blog’s more recent wing posts. Full circle: the same photography habits that built the wing archive apparently started with pizza, over a…

The Charred Grill Pizza, Sudbury Backyard
September 2023, back in Sudbury, and this one has serious grill-marks-and-char energy — a heavily blistered crust on a wood board with grass in the background, looking every bit like it came off a hot grill or outdoor pizza oven rather than a conventional indoor one. By 2023 this household had clearly graduated from wire-rack-on-the-counter…

Backyard Pizza, Boxborough Edition
June 2022, Boxborough, Massachusetts, and this pizza made it all the way outside — photographed on a wood peel with grass visible in the background. Olives and assorted toppings on a crust that looks like it got real oven (or maybe outdoor pizza oven) heat. Boxborough is a new town for this archive too, which…

Wayland Pizza, a One-Off Location
May 2021, and this one’s tagged to Wayland, Massachusetts — a town that doesn’t show up anywhere else in this archive, wings or pizza. Pepperoni and banana peppers on a well-browned crust, photographed on a wire rack. Someone’s kitchen, someone’s oven, just not the usual one. I’ll guess this was made at a friend or…

Sudbury Era Begins: White Pizza, Overhead Shot
May 2020 — new house, new location tag (Sudbury, Massachusetts, which shows up all over this blog’s wing archive too), and a return to the white-pizza-with-ricotta formula, this time shot from directly overhead on a wood table. The pandemic spring when everyone’s home cooking hobbies got a serious upgrade shows up here too, apparently. I’ll…
