Finding The Best Waltham Pizza

By Amy Phillips


One of the most popular dishes in America today, is the pizza. Such demand for it is quite high and is thus evidenced by the many pizzerias that have sprouted up over the years, particularly in Waltham, Massachusetts. If you have a hankering for Waltham pizza, then you would want to look for the best Waltham pizza around. This article will cover some basic facts about this wonderful dish and to help you decide for yourself.

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.

Traditional ones all use the marinara sauce and its many versions or modifications. Thus the fight for taste will be the kind of sauce that you use when talking traditional. A rule of thumb for traditional creations is that it will use Marinara sauce and will have less than five toppings on it, excluding fruits and fish like anchovies. This will be as close to the original that you can probably get to.

Neapolitan varieties can also be had from some establishments, but may pale in comparison with the original European versions, which require genuine buffalo Mozzarella and the ripest San Marino tomatoes. Most will have versions of these two in either regular crust or thin crust varieties. But of course your taste will dictate on which crust to put your flavors on.

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 are one that likes their crust crispier than normal, with the additional smokier flavor, then you should go for ones that are baked in wood fire ovens. Thus look for a pizzeria with a wood burning oven, it will not be hard to find for those with such ovens will usually advertise it. They will always assert that their creations, due to the oven, will be more authentic than most.

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.
