Vegan pepperoni is just one of many vegan topping options.  Not pictured: Impossible steak and cheese
Jace F.

Catalina's is a no-frills pizza and sub shop tucked away off of Main St. in Malden. The cache for Catalina's is the abundance of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. From Impossible beef, sausage, chicken, and Beyond pepperoni, Catalina's can be creative when putting together combinations on pizzas, calzones, or sandwiches. Their strength lies with the sandwich menu, offering soft rolls with tasty toppings. The Impossible steak and cheese is a personal favorite and well-seasoned. I'm eager to try the Impossible chicken Parm next. Catalina's is far from perfect and their pizza is niche (a sweeter/spiced red sauce isn't for everyone), the internal dining space could be more inviting (this place does more takeout), and the parking can be dicy. That said, it's a gem for vegetarians and vegans alike looking for that comfort sandwich fix.

Cold Veggie Sub

This meal would be rated a 1 but because this is the first negative experience I have had with this restaurant I am giving them a 3. I was having a rough day and looking forward to getting home, putting my feet up and getting some takeout. I selected a cold veggie sub and asked for "mayo, lettuce, tomato, extra pickles, extra onions and salt & pepper". What I got was a little bit of tomato, pickle and onion w/s&p no lettuce. Due to the lack of meat I fully expect a veggie sub to be FILLED with veggies. This is not a meal and the fact that someone felt ok to serve this and had the audacity to charge me $11 for it is quite concerning. I was so happy to recently find this restaurant as a vegetarian it is hard to find places with not only plant based options but TONS of options. In all honesty I will probably order from them again but I will never order something I haven't already had and I certainly would never order a "sub" from them again. Because I was so appalled that the restaurant felt it ok to serve this to someone, I felt I needed to leave this review as a learning. Note to the restaurant: Please don't ever serve this to someone again.

Vegan impossible cheesy breadsticks (follow your heart) Vegan meatball sub (follow your heart)

First off let's talk about taste. The food here is fresh and home cooked recipes clearly. It's given love and careful thought. The passion is there. Don't believe me? Try the samosas. Also they are so inexpensive. I would get two orders. The vegan options are large and taste amazing. They are working to add more and happily take feedback to better their menu. You want vegan, ask for vegan pizza cheese and enjoy the best pizza in the city. After a long day of skating and exercise this place is just the thing for ravenous hunger! The menu is massive and expanding daily it seems. If they have the ingredients, they will make it. Vegan chicken parm calzone/pizza? Done. Vegan meatball sub? Vegan buffalo chicken salad with vegan ranch? Yeah they got it. I love this place and you will too. Now excuse me while I get my vegan meatball sub and vegan cheesy breadsticks.

Steak and Cheese Sub

Very average place. Probably not coming back unless nothing else to eat. I had the steak and cheese. Steak was dry.

My partner and I ate here for lunch and were blown away. We ordered the 'Medley Veggie' and it was…read morethe best vegan pizza I've ever eaten. The crust was *perfectly* crisp on the bottom. They clearly use a lot of oil on the bottom of the pans they bake the pizzas in. If you don't like oil, this isn't the place for you. But we *loved* it. I also loved that the pizza toppings went to the edge. This made the vegan cheese crispy along the edges. This approach coupled with the thin (but not too thin) dough felt like Detroit-Neapolitan hybrid. It was the best of both. (And They do offer a Detroit pizza as well, which we will try in the future.) I like my sauce a bit sweeter than their red sauce, but this was only a minor issue. The toppings were high quality, especially the sautéed mushrooms. This place was absolutely worth the drive from Salem to Medford and we will be back. I was disappointed that they no longer make the Carl Called pizza that is listed on their website. It sounds amazing and I hope they bring it back. There are only 4 or so tables so we will avoid this place during peak hours. Alternatively we could order our pizza to go and find an outdoors spot to eat. The dining area was pretty toasty from the ovens. Today was a mild spring day, yet even with the door open, I was getting uncomfortably hot. They also do not have a bathroom for customers, so bear that in mind before visiting. I would love to see this place move to a larger space with more tables. The owner and his staff clearly are passionate about pizza and really know their craft.

This is the pizza that was delivered to my home this evening. I don't even have words. They did…read moreoffer my money back and an apology. Doesn't change the fact that I now have to go get my child an actual edible meal.

Stopped in at Ciao today after grocery shopping. We were seated quickly and comfortably, the staff…read morewere quite welcoming and attentive. Picked the Salsiccia pizza to split between us (and a poached pear and cannoli for dessert). First, the atmosphere is great! Inviting, with great views of Ball Square and the amazing pizza oven. The pizza arrived at the perfect temperature and quickly (we learned later that a pizza spends less than couple minutes in the oven due to how blisteringly hot it gets). Great flavor and composition to the pizza -- the sausage was extremely flavorful and there was just enough cheese. The dough is top notch, with just the right amount of chew! The poached pear and cannoli were excellent. Not too sweet with sufficient complexity. Very, very nice. My fiancé chatted with the staff and learned more about the location and the pizza oven (I mean, it's just too cool to not ask to see more closely). Great service, fantastic food. Will certainly return and I now feel remiss that we hadn't yet been.

Nice little spot! There are only about eight tables inside, so it has a cozy feel. We ordered…read moretakeout and simply called our order in. The spicy sausage pizza was excellent, the dough is homemade and tastes incredibly fresh. The toppings are fresh as well, which really comes through in the flavor. It's a bit pricey, but that's fairly typical for the Boston area. Overall, we'd definitely recommend it. I believe they offer delivery, too.
