Finding The Best Waltham Pizza

By Amy Phillips


Pizza is such a popular dish that many have sought to open a pizzeria or pizza restaurant around to give in to the demand for it. If you are in the city of Waltham, Massachusetts then you are probably thinking of where to buy the best Waltham pizza around. Of course there are several criteria for this before you make a decision.

Typing out the query of where the best pizza places in Waltham are will give you a list of about twenty top favorites, mostly voted in by Yelp voters. This does not mean that they serve the best pizza, but actually are pizzerias that have pizza on the menu among other things. They are voted as best but not for the pizza they serve. It will be really up to you then to go out and search for yourself if decide to, just be mindful of some basic facts.

Waltham offers a variety of pizzerias that serve traditional to non traditional varieties. Traditional in the sense that they are close to the original dish, Hawaiian excluded, of the marinara variety. Most pizzas are known for their sauces that are basically strewn on top of flat breads and baked.

Most if not all the pizzerias in Waltham will have the Margherita as well as the ever popular pepperoni on hand. A rule of thumb on pizzas however, is that if it has five or less toppings on it, then the closer it is to the original how the Italians want it to be, but the jury is still out on anchovies though. Most Italians will say seafood and fruits do not belong on top of their beloved flat breads.

Neapolitan flavors, although also available may not be as authentic as what is required. The real Neapolitan will require San Marino tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella cheese, ingredients not readily available anywhere. You can choose also from thin or thick crusts for your pie. In relation to this, your crusts can also be chosen as either crispy or chewy depending on your taste.

Non traditional ones which are of the deep dish variety, such as the Chicago and the New Yorker are also available in this city. Taste will vary of course depending on what crust you will want to have these in and also definitely the kind of sauce that is used. You will just have to decide for yourself again.

If you want a crust that is crispier and have a smokier flavor than others then go for an establishment that has a real wood burning oven. A wood burning oven has more intense heat than a regular oven. It probably will not be that hard to ask around which pizzeria have wood burning ovens or not. In fact those with wood burning ovens will always advertise it saying it gives a more authentic taste for your palate.

And so these are basically what you need to know in looking for the best pizza in this city. In essence basically, do not rely on mere reviews from others, but do try to go out on your own to find out what is really the best for your taste. For remember, its always different strokes for different folks.
