    Went out for a night on the town. Grabbed some pizza and a cheese bread. I asked the waitress what was the most popular appetizers and with a mask and her telling me 2 times I had no idea what she said. She said it was this crab ball thing. I guess we will never know. The bread was amazing and had a little extra special sauce on it. Highly recommend the cheese bread. The pizza was amazing. If you like thin crust this is the place. Flaky crust but not so flaky it sucks up all the grease. Just beware to take it slow when eating the first bite. Almost burnt my tongue. Remember to take enough cash with you if not they have an ATM.

    Had my first lasagna and meat sauce take out. Absolutely the best ever! Need to add that I had lasagna and their homemade meatballs and sauce yesterday. Absolutely delish!! Perfectly seasoned!!

    Pizza was good. Eggplant fries were so saturated in grease and soggy that they were stuck together in 2 clumps. They were the same way last time I had brought my Nephew who I've brought there to eat for years. They used to be really good.

    Cutting cost has gone way to far. Raise the cost of a pizza don't cut the quality of the product. A linguica pizza with just about some linguica Looked more like a cheese pizza. They used to put so much linguica it was great. Shell's are so thin you need two hands to hold it or it will no just fall. I have given them a second chance way to much and this was the last time. Good bye 👋 Also the torpedo had no cheese and hardly any peppers. Not like it used to be.

    Their pizza is one of a kind. Thin crust. They have a signature sauce. Delicious, delicious, delicious!!!!! Great prices. Lasagna and meatballs is so good. They give such large portions, it can last for three days.

    Food was very good... My servers name was Miranda I believe, and she was just absolutely fantastic!! I will definitely be back... Oohh and please note that this is a CASH ONLY restaurant, so you don't come unprepared like I did... But they do have an ATM available on site for your convenience.

    Delicious pizza! Thin crust, plenty of sauce, plenty of cheese, great taste. 12 inches for $8.50! Eat it hot in the parking lot - even better!

    It has to be over a decade since I've eaten here. Prices are still reasonable and the help as friendly as ever! Met up with a promoter / colleague for a quick lunch / catch up meeting today and I have to say what an enjoyable meal. Need to make this a more frequent stop.

    I was very impressed with this little gem that had somehow slipped by me since I've only lived in newbedford for 2 years now. Great food, friendly service , and very fair pricing. I definitely recommend the chicken parm!

    This is the Place to go when you want Good Pizza. Cooked to perfection and great taste. I wasn’t impressed with the manicotti. It tasted as if it was frozen, heated, served with the sauce. The staff are friendly and professional.

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 5 months ago on Google
    My all time favorite pizza parlor . I don’t ever order out pizza accept whenever I’m in the New Bedford area. This is my go to place and I always come buy a luinguica pizza. Best thin crust pizza you’ll ever taste .

    The fried ravioli was to die for! Pro tip: sauce on the nice. The prices were super reasonable. Our server -her name was Abby I think was very personable and knowledgeable. North end GEM!

  • 5/5 Derek A. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is filled with love and people that know exactly what they are doing and take it seriously. Honestly the meatball torpedo is my go-to here - for me it's legendary. This is a wonderful little restaurant where you can get great atmosphere, service, and Italian food.

    Whenever I'm in New Bedford, this is my favorite place to go for linguica pizza, but this time in addition to pizza we ordered subs, sweet potato fries, meatballs and salad too, and as expected, everything was delicious!

  • 5/5 Bryan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a late lunch. Been years,but drive by all the time. Like walking back in time. Food is still outstanding, service was outstanding. Definitely not waiting to come back. Price was ridiculous. 2 chicken parm meals(1 is enough for 2) under 40 bucks. Garlic bread was fire,offered as a side. If it's been awhile head over,if you've never been swing by.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth R. 10 months ago on Google
    Everything was so good. We had an antipasto, meatballs, fried ravioli, roast beef sub, and of course garlic bread. We all enjoyed everything. I brought home lasagna and eggplant for my husband and he enjoyed it as well.

    best pizza in new bedford by alot. I have never been disappointed and I've been coming here for longer than I can remember.

  • 4/5 Jeni B. 1 year ago on Google
    As a parent of a child with sensory issues, this is the only place she will eat pizza from, which is a miracle to see her eat whole foods. So as you can assume, at least once a week, we order take-home food from this restaurant and often go for family outings here. We have NEVER had a bad experience with the food or the customer service. It is true that the restaurant could maybe use a modern update, but this is still a quaint little place that is well kept. The waitstaff is always on point, super friendly, and the food always comes out hot and delicious. They do not skimp on their portions and the price is definitely fair and worth it. I would opt to say they could probably even raise their prices and it would still be at a fair price point... If you're looking for classic homestyle Italian food from a friendly and charming restaurant on a reasonable budget, this place is for you! You will not leave hungry or dissatisfied!

    One of my favorite Italian places on earth. Pizza amazing. Subs out of this world. Best prices!

  • 5/5 Marcey B. 1 year ago on Google
    What can you say about an establishment that has been here forever? This!! Great pizza always!! Fan of the linguica and mushroom. It's just soooooo outdated. Also still cash only!! It's 2023 ! Would be lovely if updated pay system.

  • 5/5 Tom L. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Steven G. 1 year ago on Google
    We used to go here when we were young and loved it. Whenever we return to the area-we've been living over 800 miles away for over 30 years-we make sure to come here. Their linguica pizza is the best in the area, hands down. Great food, great service.

    Great Food and great Lunch deals!

  • 5/5 Kelly N. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was top-notch and the food at this place is of outstanding quality and they do not skimp on portion sizes. We enjoyed our meal of fried ravioli and stuffed shells and we'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Wes DiBona (. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great and inexpensive for the portion size. The staff were wonderful and managed to accommodate our group of 11 despite being crowded. Highly recommend this place!

    Best linguica Pizza in the area. A long time favorite. Cash only. Dine in available with cheap bar. Grab a pizza, an antipasto and some eggplant fries. Plan for 1 pizza per person cuz they're smaller and DELICIOUS.
