No one ever mentions the Wonder Bar in these threads. I know it's new owners, but I have such nostalgia from when I was a kid there and loved the pizza. Last time I had it was a couple years ago and I seem to recall it lost something, but this was during COVID so that might have been part of it.

We just tried them for our last pizza party at work and it was definitely great!

We had Big Y at a work function a few weeks back and I was pleasantly surprised.

Their gimmick is great, and they have some great options that taste great, but their plain cheese pizza is not good.

I was under the gun!!!

I'll echo Birchtree and Volturno. But I will also add Burncoat pizza on to the list, which is also one of the most convenient and my default go to

He was under the gun lol

Controversial opinion - Big Y, try the Margherita, factor in the price, it's surprisingly decent.

Pizzeria Delight will always be my favorite. They have what they call a J&S Special and it’s all the things that shouldn’t be on pizza, thrown on pizza. It’s delicious.

What makes you think it's not in operation?

Worcester just doesn’t have good pizza.

I love Antonio’s by the slice

I've always heard the owner is a douche and have never given it a chance based on that. Is it true about him being a dbag?

Yeah... don't get the large pizza. It's comically large and takes away from the pizza itself for the reasons you mentioned.

I get pizza from here once a month and his consistency has gone down in the past 6 months.

Also, the One Bite Pizza Youtube review of Frankie's is bordering on a classic.

You can add Pomodoros to this list. Same style as Frankies without the pretense.

It's a good reminder.

I largely disagree with this. If you’re into New York Style, I don’t know anywhere in Worcester that’s better than I Love Frankie’s. I liked the Margherita better than the cheese, but thought both were at the top of what I’ve had in Worcester in that style. Love Olo and Volturno but they’re a totally different animal. Where else do I need to try?

I've seen in the other threads that it's gone downhill so maybe that's part of it, though growing up I never really fawned over it the way others seem to.

Good to know! I was going to add them but haven't been since the new owners took over and wasn't sure if they still did pizza nights. Definitely recommend if things haven't changed. Unfortunately the last time I was there for pizza, there was still a dirt lot.

I never understood Blue Jeans. Crust is always like cardboard whenever I have it and it reminds me of Papa Gino's with less herbs in the sauce.

Best in town, no doubt.

Fratelli's Corner Crust isn't quite as good since changing ownership, but it's still a great alternative to all of the Greek/Albanian joints. Atlas for one of the better Greek/Albanian-style types.

Gotta put Birch Tree way up on that list.
