Paesanos is pretty good as far as Worcester goes too. It's paper thin but from a food fire oven so it still gets a little char to it. I wouldn't drive an hour for it but when I lived over the line in Shrewsbury, we exclusively got pizza from them after trying our other options within a 10 minute drive.

I will say that Fratellis is good if you ask for well done. Otherwise it's a little floppy and messy but still tasted good. I guess it's a new owner but I can say he takes pride in the product after hearing him speak about the menu and all of their deals last time I was there.

I just had this for the first time last week. I ordered a large half pepperoni for our family of 5. Usually we end up getting 2 larges from other places and have a few pieces left over. We had about 30% of the large left over which feels about right in terms of comparing it to 2 larges from other places. I think it was $28 - which is also somewhat comparable in price to what we would pay for 2 larges other places.

Rating: 5/10. Totally edible and not "bad" per se. We live in Holden and I drove through to pick it up on the way home from work. I got it right as it came out of the oven and it took around 25 minutes to get it home. I am willing to try it 1 more time to make sure it wasn't very average due to travel time. There are so many very average pizza places around Worcester that are still better than this place.

no one even mentions any places except places that got popular from some blog. same with burgers.

this sub would shut down if for a week it was banned to talk about 15 particular restaurants because i swear no one would know what other pizza or burger to discuss.

then they'll act like worcester has no good x or y food. it has big "america has bad beer" like euros cry because they only know 5 popular american beers.

it's beyond old now. it's got big transplant vibes because the restaurants are always less than 10 years old and gone before anyone has a chance to give a shit.

I think that SELCO is the only option. Last I knew everything in Shrewsbury was run by the town. If you have the option we have FiOS in Westboro and haven't had any problems. We stream everything and with Gig speeds haven't had an issue ever.

It’s the best pizza in the area if you ask me. Not meaning to defend them, but they don’t really have a lot of competition in my mind. There’s not a lot of ‘delivery’ style places in between the ‘House of Pizzas’/Greek style and the ‘sitdown’ restaurant type.

Anzio’s and Tavolino are both very good but a bit far to be considered Worcester IMO. Bruno in Sutton is my favorite for somewhat close.
