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.

Doing a cursory check on the internet will bring out about almost twenty and over results or establishments selling this food. And of course there is the Yelp listing of the ten best pizza places in town, but these are only top ten because of servings and specialties other than the food in question. Thus it will be really up to your taste of what makes the best.

Non traditional and traditional varieties of the famous Italian flat bread abound in Waltham. The ones closest to the traditional make will be the ones of the Marinara variety, excluding variations that has pineapples and fruits in it like the Hawaiian. In essence, the best ones become the best because of the sauce that is used and that is basically it.

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.

Waltham also serves varieties of the ever popular pepperoni and Margherita flavor, a Neapolitan creation for the first queen of Italy. However the original Margherita will use real buffalo Mozzarella and authentic sun ripened San Marino tomatoes. The most you will get in Waltham may be just a knock off unless they stick to the original recipe requirements.

Non traditional ones will be those ones that were invented after World War 2 when an influx of Italians poured into the USA. These ones will be the crispy and deep dish varieties carrying names such as New Yorker and Chicago Deep Dish varieties. Though these abound in Waltham, their tastes will all differ, primarily depending on the kind of sauces used. Thus the yummier the sauce, the yummier the pie will be. The winner therefore lies in how good the sauce used is basically.

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 there you have it, how to look for the best pizza in the city of Waltham. Just stick to the rule of the thumb, the better the sauce the better the creation, and the lesser ingredients the more traditional it is basically. And of course, if real blooded Italians go to the same place, then it must be a good place to start.
