Sausage and broccoli Rabe
Lily B.

It's a small shop and they have an ice cream shop next to them. We had high expectations and their menu sounded good but the pizzas were disappointing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The flavors were off and the wait was long and there was no where to sit as the small amount of tables present were all taken up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were all pleasant and the facility was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can't order ahead so you have to show up and wait for your order.

Sausage rabe takeout
Amanda C.

We got takeout from Cals on a Saturday - first off, the woman on the phone was great. We ordered the sausage rabe with fusilli, she was elated that we were getting that pasta with it (SAME). Dish was great, and came with homemade bread that was perfectly soft and flavorful. I got the buffalo chicken wrap plus pickles, it was PACKED with buff chick, the wrap was overflowing. I wish the wrap had a bit more integrity as I ended up spooning most of the toppings into my mouth, but this will definitely be a regular spot for us. Affordable and quick, friendly service.

Rouge tomato
Emily M.

I've come back to Cal's a few times and needed to update my review. For my first order, I must not have chosen the right item for me. Because since then I've made my way through some other items (apps, calzones and sandwiches) and everything has been great. Not only are the portions large, stuffed with fresh ingredients it's affordable, and worth every penny. Their customer service is awesome. You can tell the guy answering the phone is smiling to take your order. I will keep coming back and continue to make my way through the menu.

Hawaiian pizza
Rob F.

This was really good pizza. We ordered Hawaiian and Salsiccia. They both had thin crispy crusts and generous toppings. The Hawaiian had bacon instead of Canadian bacon for an interesting twist on a classic. The Salsiccia was covered with mozzarella, sausage, roasted red peppers, red onions & pecorino romano. All the cheese was impressively stretchy and that's the sign of quality, mozzarella cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and well lit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and all of the employees we're very friendly, and seemed like they wanted to be there,

Large Salsiccia Pizza. Perfectly cooked and delicious

There are so many great pizza places in the Reading, Stoneham,Wakefield and Woburn area and Cal's ranks right up there. Tonight we had a Salsiccia (sausage, roasted red peppers, red onion, pecorino Romano. Absolutely nailed it with a perfect crust and delicious flavors. Always friendly folks.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fantastic people! The pizza is absolutely delicious they're completely worth the travel & the price. Also the Arancini's are huge & very very good! I highly recommend

My fiancé who is a French toast expert said the crunchy French toast was quite possibly the best…read moreshe's ever had. Got sat down quickly on Easter Sunday. Well oiled machine for service. Good vibes. Quick service. Food quality was the main driver for the review. Surprisingly inexpensive for the quality. Kudo's to the people that are running this place.

Isaac greeted my friend and I when we arrived for breakfast and recommended the corned beef hash…read morewith eggs on top. It's homemade and was a really good recommendation! The corned beef is large chunks, not small diced pieces found in most commercial and canned hash. The potatoes, peppers, and onions gave a nice texture and flavor. I had it topped with two over medium eggs which were perfectly cooked. As I was eyeing the French toast, he gave me a single piece which included their fruit infused whipped cream and was really, really good! That might be my entree next time. My friend got the crepes and her face was doing happy expressions while she was eating. My new best friend Maria kept my coffee mug full-she visited the table frequently to make sure my mug never got low nor cold. She also took care to clean the table promptly as plates were finished. Now if my kids could learn that... oh wait, this is a diner review. The ambiance is cute and chic. There was easy access to accommodate wheel chairs and they have their menu clearly marked for gluten free available and vegan options (most of the menu). The menu is on the fancier side; they will prepare whatever someone wants (e.g. if someone just wants 2 eggs and bacon, they can easily do that). The location is on Main St. so parking is hit or miss. If you are nearby and want something good, this is a good option!

Up until now, I'd never had a fast food place advertise something as "hot" or "spicy" and actually…read moremean it. Dave's Hot Chicken apparently took that personally. I ordered the chicken sandwich combo with fries--mild, I think. Maybe medium. Whatever it was, it had more legitimate heat than the Burger King Jalapeño Whopper ever dreamed of having, and it made Taco Bell's Diablo sauce taste like something you'd give a toddler. It wasn't painful, just the kind of spice that politely reminds you who's in charge. The chicken was juicy, the breading stayed crispy, and the sandwich had just the right amount of everything. The fries deserve some credit too. Crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy inside--the way fries always promise to be but rarely are. When the box showed up, my first thought was, "That's it?" Five minutes later I was forcing down the last few bites because I refused to let perfectly good chicken go to waste. The portions are a lot more filling than they look. We had everything delivered through DoorDash, so I can't say much about the restaurant itself, but whoever packed the order deserves a shout-out. Everything was boxed neatly, looked like it had actually been assembled by someone who cared, and somehow arrived still steaming hot. If you had told me it had come straight from the kitchen to my table, I would've believed you. First time trying Dave's, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Now I just have to work up the courage--or stupidity--to order something hotter next time.

Delicious chicken burger which has the right amount of crunch and softness. Flavor is great and…read morechicken is very tender. The fries especially stood out to me and with the Dave's sauce, it is absolutely phenomenal.

I love Pressed Cafe! I have gone to quite a few of their locations and am always impressed. I love…read morehow each location has its own style and flair from a layout and decor standpoint but that they all keep the same level of efficiency and quality. I was really happy to hear that a location was opened in Woburn as it's wicked close. This one is in a great spot with plenty of parking - while the street itself on can get busy/hectic, something has to be! This location also has a nice sized outdoor seating space with a mixture of tables both in sun and shade via umbrellas. The inside is open and spacious with lots of nooks and crannies. They have a menu dock when you first walk in, and they have added two kiosks for self-service ordering. If you prefer to order with a person, you can still do that too up at the counter, and then there is another menu dock up by the registers to dispose of the menu upon ordering. The placement of the self-serve kiosks is good because you can't miss it, however, with how crowded and busy Pressed Cafes can get it can easily get really crowded since it is by the door - and if you don't realize it's kiosks, I'm afraid people will stand around waiting not necessarily knowing they can go order at the counter. Now let's talk the menu. It's massive with so many options. They do breakfast and lunch items all day long. So many options like you could go to pressed every day for a long time and/or for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and still have a different item for days, weeks, and maybe a few months. Now, every location has the same core menu, but some locations have extra sections or items - most notably for this Woburn location, is the brick oven and pizza - which smells so delish! The food is always amazing, always fresh, and made to order. Plus the portion size is very generous!! I have never got something that was not good and I did not like! I find the service to also be excellent. They are very friendly and again with how busy it gets there, they do a phenomenal job at keeping things moving - from taking orders, to delivering your order, to getting pickup/online orders ready, to cleaning up tables, etc. - they are so efficient. Prices are moderate. Depending on what you get, it can get pricey but it's not terribly overpriced considering - it is an upscale cafe and well, you do get what you pay for. All in all, I rant and rave about Pressed Cafes. You want breakfast, Pressed. You want coffee shop, Pressed. You want lunch, Pressed. You want a cool, hip, vibing place, Pressed. You want quick and efficient service, Pressed. Not sure what you want but want fresh, Pressed. Just go to Pressed! I did a pick up order for Chai Tea Latte a while ago for my first time at this shop and then went back most recently for sit down meals twice in one weekend - lunch and then breakfast. Pictured is my coffee from breakfast. Forgot to snap pics of the rest, but all looked and tasted great!

This is the only Pressed location with a Pizza Oven! They have a nice space here, it's a newer one…read moreand has all the favorites you love. You can come here 20 times and still not try their entire menu. I love their sandwiches, pizza, bowls, coffee--you name it. Plus breakfast all day. This location has lots of parking but it can get busy. Staff is friendly and food comes out quickly. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table.
