My favorite is Pini's. I love their buffalo chicken, mexican, or bacon ranch and chicken pizzas (all very healthy!). :)

thanks! i'll check 'em out :)

Pini's is good, but when I got tired of them, I switched to Cristo's and I like them very much also. I've only tried Eat at Jumbo's once. I liked it, but my kids didn't, so it's off our list, alas.

You may be interested in this post from 2008 (http://davis-square.livejournal.com/1253726.html) in which DSLJ members were polled on their favorite local pizza places. Of course, lots of places have closed and opened in that time, but still.

excellent, thanks!

This poll is over four years old. It's probably time for a new one, but meanwhile, enjoy reading it...

ETA: I see mamajoan got here before me with that link, but here's the discussion, also from 2008, that led up to the poll.

Oh yes, Pini's!

3 out of 4 members of my household love Pinky's, and the fourth is finicky and doesn't actually like cheese, so I'm not sure he counts. :)

Venus Pizza is pretty great.

Cristo's in Davis? we used to order from them, but I think they charged a delivery fee, so they went off our list a while ago. :)

and yeah, i do sometimes get sick of pizza from the same place all the time.

oh, and i miss Zing! as well.

Do any of the local pizza places do standard Italian pizza well? So many of the local places are actually Greek. Angelina's did well for us for a while, but then they started getting inconsistent. I haven't found a new favorite yet.

After trying a bunch of places, I've now settled on Caprese Pizza, which is on Medford Street in Magoun Square. My second go-to place would be Pranzi's over on Winthrop Street in Medford.

I've heard Pinky's is very good. do they deliver?

[ron_newman]

Yes

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Now that you mention it, Cristo's does charge an extra dollar for delivery, but honestly that doesn't bother me. If it were much more than that, I might be more inclined to care.

i like cheese :) thanks!

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

ooh, new one on me! thank you.

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

thanks, i'll check 'em out :)

there's upscale neapolitan at posto's, but i don't think they deliver. http://pizzeriaposto.com

I'm a fan of City Slickers. The pizza is kind of on the greasy side, but the crust is crispy and delicious, and they have a lot of excellent topping options, including goat cheese.

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

mmm, goat cheese! i will check 'em out, thank you.

You should be in the delivery area for Sabatino's (http://sabatinositaliankitchenarlington.com/) in Arlington.

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

thanks, i'll check that out.

And they are extremely fast, in my experience, at least to our neighborhood near Tufts.

They don't delivery, but if you happen to be in close-ish walking distance of Pescatore, in Ball Square, I am a big fan - plain pizza satisfies picky kids, toppinged pizza make me think of what you might get for "fast food" when traveling in a tourist town in Italy or along the Adriatic.

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

thanks, they are in fact quite nearby :) i've never been around italy, but i'd love a taste thereof!
