Sweet Tomatoes is my favorite pizza! I wish they had a location closer to me, but I will drive for quality. The young lady helping me was so kind to help me carry my order to the car! Amazing service!!! And of course the pizza tasted wonderful! Same with the Cesar salad, always fresh and they used shaved Parmesan which tastes great! Tip: when making the salad, take the cheese and lemon out first. Then pour the dressing and croutons in and shake it. Then add the cheese and lemon after, this way you get even amount of cheese or else it ends up in a glob on the bottom.

With excellent pizza, service and a great cocktail and wine menu, everything they offer is excellent. We have been only a few times mainly because this place gets so jam packed that it is hard to get a table. Small, quaint and cute neightborhood gem. You can tell all the locals flock to this place every weekend. The bar is also perfect to grab a quick bite and it is first come first serve. Move over Tatte because this Spiced Carrot Soup was phenomenal. And, I mean it. From asking the owner to "how do I make this at home" to practically wanting to order another bowl. And, don't get me started on their homemade foccacia bread that came with it. Every dunk of this bread into the luscious soup had me craving more and more. Best part, I was actually full. Hallelujah! All I have to say is head to Jinny's for their pizza, but don't forget they have a whole menu to choose from as well. And, everything tastes great and is nice and fresh. You will definitely stay awhile eating and drinking here at this cozy spot. Cheers~

We ordered drinks, and one came quickly. had to ask another wait staff for remaining drinks 10 minutes later. Ordered appetizers, then placed main order. 15 minutes go by, and I see three dishes under heating lamp. Five minutes later those three dishes and another were brought to our table.

Enzina sits in a 19th century brick building that it shares with its sister bakery. It seats about 12 tables so reservations are highly recommended. We were greeted promptly by the manager who was genuinely friendly - warmth is not a trait shared by most Bostonians. We ordered a large sausage pizza. The crust is made fresh daily by Enzina's bakery while the sauce is made in-house. The sausage is the star here - made locally by a high street Italian butcher shop. The final product was a masterpiece of east coast pie - firm crust, properly sauced, and a compelling amount of the delicious Italian sausage. We alo ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese which was some of the best we have ever enjoyed. The sauce is made from veal, pork, and beef and only served on the day it is made (leftovers is given to a local food bank.) The house-made pasta was perfectly al dente. We would rate this Bolognese in our all-time Top Ten, which is saying a lot. Typical trattoria ambiance, prompt service, and delicious fare! Enzina is a must visit.

What a great addition to the neighborhood! I was a big fan of Nick's but it was in dire need of a makeover. The new owners did a fabulous job with the physical space and an even better job with the food quality. The pizza slices are generous and perfect for lunch. My husband who considers himself a connoisseur of Greek Salads says that the Brick's are the best he's ever had. The only thing I would change are the drink selections, Pepsi products, no thanks. And the pita bread that comes with the salads is tasteless. How about offering Joseph's brand pita? The owners are lovely people who care about their customers. I wish them many years of continued success! read more

I just wanted to get my money and leave asap but the whole restaurant joined in and started cussing me and two of my friends out. These people are awful. I stood there trying not to say anything at all and kept getting provoked by this hostile and argumentative hostess Also- eight bucks for just two slices of mediocre pizza.

Absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly baked pizza had me hooked. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft and chewy inside, and the toppings were incredibly fresh and flavorful.

Hands down some of the best pizza I've had in a long time! read more

"The pizza at this place is seriously good! We ordered a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza, and it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the cheese was ooey-gooey. The best part? They didn't skimp on the toppings; every bite was loaded with pepperoni and mushrooms. The prices were reasonable too, so it won't break the bank. Definitely coming back with the family soon!" read more
