Fabulous thin crust pizza, equal to the best thin crust pizza anywhere. Great service. Great owner. Very hopeful that they will reopen soon. Shocked to see that they are closed. Online information states either "permanently closed" or "temporarily closed and expected to reopen in November 2017". Very puzzling. I would be crestfallen if they were permanently closed. read more

Very nice people, very good tasting pizza, very short wait time, and it's a pretty good ambiance 10/10 read more

Kindles Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

We happened to be in Marlborough and were looking for a quick dinner and found some great Yelp reviews on this restaurant. Glad we did; if I lived closer, I would definitely come here all the time. The dining space is really charming; lots of love and care went into building the place and it certainly shows. The food is prepared to order, using quality, fresh ingredients. The pizza has a nice thin crust, tasty red sauce, and a generous topping of cheese. The mango habanero wings were just perfect- crispy skin, juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of flavoring. Delicious. The owner David was very personable and friendly. We were chitchatting about Cambridge and he mentioned having worked at a pizza chain in Harvard Sq before starting his own pizza place- I should have persuaded him to open a Kindles in Cambridge! :) read more

Holy smokes... Tonight I enjoyed the best plain cheese pizza I've ever, ever eaten. And I'm old, and have been eating pizza for a long time. Now I've got this problem: there's one slice left. I was sorta planning on saving that one for my wife... Damn. read more

Kindles Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

I am going to take my time with this review, because it is the little things that sets Kindles apart. First, let me say that I have never been to Kindles before yesterday, so this is a fresh, unbiased, and objective review. I am working in Mansfield, which is about 40 minutes away from Marlborough. But I am not thrilled with the local options so I broadened my search for dinner last night. After looking at the photos and reviews, I had to take a drive to Kindles. When I arrived, I first saw the truly incredible pizza oven. It was stamped as authentic from Italy. Good start. Then, before I could make up my mind, the owner (Dave) engaged me in conversation and we started discussing what makes a great pizza. I felt great about my choice at this point, so I ordered the Diavola and added sausage. I thought that I would just grab my pie and go ... boy was I wrong. This is where Kindles separates themselves from everywhere else. Dave asked me if I wanted to watch my pizza bake. He said he cooks each pizza exactly as each customer wants their pie. One pizza at a time, no mass production. What followed was a 10 minute master class on how to properly bake a pizza in a wood fired oven. Dave explained to me how he uses the different sections of the oven at different times to get the exact pizza that was ordered. We talked about what sections of the oven to use and when, when to elevate the pie to "kiss" the sausage, how to address the liquid in the cherry peppers, when to add wood to get the exact conditions necessary. Now keep in mind, mine was the ONLY pizza in the oven even though Dave had other orders. He was meticulous! After the pie came out of the oven he asked me when and how I was going to eat my pie ... as it makes a difference as to when he cut the pizza (reminded me of Amazing Pizza in Salem where Nancy used to send me off with a pizza cutter that I had to return). The quality of the ingredients is obviously top shelf. They make their sausage in house and everything else is only the best. I have met a few true masters of the art of pizza making ... Francesco Colletti (Colletti's), Chris Bianco (Pizzeria Bianco), Dom Demarco (Di Fara) and Mark Iacono (Lucali). I can now add Dave to this list. I also met his lovely daughter who showed as much passion for the business as her father. If you want a completely unique experience, and a world class pizza, this is the place. Take my advice, talk to Dave ... I had a great time. I asked him when I was leaving when he worked as I wanted to return when Dave was there. He indicated that he makes ALL the pizzas and nothing leaves his oven without his ok. One in a million! See you soon Dave! Great pie! read more

Kindles Pizzeria - Kindle Special - Pizza Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

Went here for the first time yesterday since I was looking for something different for my pizza and I was not disappointed. Went with my friend and we both loved the pizza. We got a cheese and it was very well balanced between the cheese and sauce. The owner was super nice and walked us through how the pizza was made. I could not decide between the thin or double thick trust so I went with the thin and while I liked it a lot, I'll try the double thick next time to compare. But the pizza was a 9/10 and its the first time me and my friend ever got a pizza and finished the whole thing, that is how light and good the pizza was. Will def. put this on my pizza rotation for marlboro. The customer service from the owner was a 10/10. He wanted to make sure we both happy with our order and we were. Can't wait to go back. read more

The perfect wood fired crust with fresh toppings, mwah, chef's kiss! What a wonderful find. Staff was friendly and fun to chat with. This will be a must-stop whenever we're nearby. read more

The pizza is very good. We had the Special extra crispy. Just don't use Grub Hub for delivery. I live 4 miles away, my order was ready for delivery (according to receipt) at 5:15pm and Grub Hub delivered stone cold food (in a wet box like they dropped it) at 6:30pm. Again, yes order delicious pizza from Kindles. Don't use Grub Hub! read more

Amazing Pizza, crust is amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone in town visiting! check it out

Pick-up is super easy and very quick. Staff were wearing masks and were nice and happy! Even in a snowstorm right before the Super Bowl! Direct from their website, I ordered online the Napoli Toscano ( garlicky and broccoli) and I checked off NO garlic. I know, I know, GARLIC is in the name but I was afraid it would be too garlicky. An employee ended up calling me a few minutes later to verify this on my order. We talked it out and he said he would go light on the garlic and the parm/garlic cream swirl. I added eggplant as well. The eggplant was sliced perfectly thin and seared while beautifully tucked under the right amount of cheese and red sauce. The broccoli was minced and sprinkled throughout the pizza like an extra coating of cheese. Every single bite was a happy mix of cheese, broccoli, sauce, garlic, eggplant, pepper and a crispy but soft crust. It was freakin delicious!! My husband got the chicken bacon ranch pizza and his response was "Amazing, so flavorful, chicken was so fresh and juicy... hurry up the game is starting....!" He loved it!! Great pregame meal!! Highly recommend Kindles Wood Fire Pizzeria! Definitely not your typical pizza!! Try it right now!! read more

Ordered 3 pizzas, the one not pictured was the Hawaiian pizza. Overall would give it a 3.5 but I rounded up. I consider myself an open foody, and I cook a lot at home. I would rather have my own pizza but for all the work I wanted to try something new. I am happy to try the other flavors! 5 to me means the place is beyond goood. I would've given the business a 4 however the flavors didn't hit the mark for me for the pie prices (about $54). Here's a breakdown: Buffalo chicken - The cheese overpowered the meat and sauce. It was still delicious but I was looking for more of the Buffalo chicken vibe not so much the blue cheese dip Hawaiian pizza - I actually don't really like HP but my darling wanted it so I got it. He wasn't a fan because the apple bacon really stood out. I think this was the best Hawaiian pizza so just going to show how it's all perspectives. If you're going for the traditional Hawaiian pizza maybe just ask for that. I thought it was good tho! Unsure of name - the other pizza was decent but not entirely memorable. Hearty and a good combination of flavors between the basil chicken and balsamic. If you're still reading you're probably still considering this place - and I say GO FOR IT! Service was prompt and seamless (I didn't have special requests). There were signs online that said you must bring cash with exact change. When I got there, the girl who came outside to greet me asked if I needed change- so I was kinda confused to say the least but no worries I'm happy to give tips to support the business! My best wishes to the business- I'll be back at least a couple more times this year if covid permits! read more

Kindles Pizzeria - Buffalo chicken and grandma - Pizza Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

Some of the best pizza you will find in New England! PROS: The variety of pizza is just short of overwhelming! So many hand crafted pizza options, with tasty combos for toppings. I had trouble deciding because everything was looking so good. The staff was super nice. They were cooking right there in the oven, in the same room you sit in. It's cool to see it come out and right to your table. The pizza was all amazing and they have a selection of beers/cider and a color with craft sodas. If this place was closer, I'd go there three times a week. CONS: It's far from me. :) OVERALL: Yes, do visit this place. The toppings were so great. I recommend the meatball and ricotta. SO delicious. read more

Drove 45 min to this place because of the 4.5 star rating. Place is small & cozey & clean. The man their which I think was the owner super friendly. We got the house special, was nice and thin very tasteful. My only complaint is there's so many pizzas listed on their wall it's hard to pick one. read more

As my partner said: 'thats not pizza, that's soup' when I opened the box of our grilled veggie pizza which had so many wet veggies and cheese on it. so we waited. and waited. for what felt like eternity but was probably 5 minutes for it to cool so we could pick it up without having everything fall off. we were eating the jalapeno poppers while waiting, but really wanted that pizza..... Both the poppers and pizza were great, with no leftovers. As stated, so many veggies on top that each bite was full of flavor. read more

Great pizza, thin crust, fresh ingredients. Friendly staff, cozy and clean. It's a must try wile in town!! read more

The owner is super friendly here, and I would encourage take out vs dine in. Ambiance is underwhelming and I wasn't sure where to get plates, silverware or napkins. I like the charred crust, but my pizza didn't have any support near the middle...Ie: you grab a slice by the crust and it flops down under the weight of the toppings. Would've liked crispier. Crust tasted good though. Also felt like the toppings could've been a bit more cooked through. I'll try it again, but a bit longer in the oven please read more

Unbelievably delicious!!! This thin-crust, meat- and/or veggie-topped pizza could not taste better! Also, it doesn't make you feel stuffed at all. I grew up with some of NY's best pizza and have had gourmet pizza all over California. This destroys all of them for mouthfeel, crust flavor, quality of toppings, and more. read more

My mom, sister, and I came here after a day of shopping. We ordered the Pinocchio (see pic) and the chicken ranch pizza. Both pizzas were delicious. Thin crust with a bit of charred is the way to go ;) Great customer service. If I'm ever in the area, would definitely return. read more

Kindles Pizzeria - Pinocchio pizza - Pizza Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

KINDles... indeed the first 4 letters describes what you will find here. First and foremost the owner Dave is absolutely KIND and gracious. He is Willing to help you select from the 36 KINDS of pizza. Now for the quality ... yum ! Dave actually asks how you want the crust cooked. Who does that? It was cooked to perfection. We opted for the Steak pizza which was " da bomb"!! Loaded with steak and cheese. We ordered two side salads but could have just chose one and would have been plenty for us with the pizza. Goes without saying I want to go back and try the other 35! Thanks Dave...we really enjoyed our dining experience. read more

Crispy, awesome looking pie. You can trust the owner. I had a small issue that he made right (it wasn't their fault). I would recommend this place 10 out of 10. read more

Kindles' wood fired pizza is excellent, especially the charred crispy crust. I think it is one of the best pizza I have had in the Boston area since moving here over 40 years ago. The crust was thin and the toppings fresh. It reminds me of some of the coal-fired pizza I have had in the past. read more

Decided on pizza for dinner late one night and saw this place on yelp. Looked pretty good so I figured I would give it a shot. I am so glad I did bcuz the pizza was very good. I called 15 mins before they closed and the guy was really nice about it. My pizza was ready in 10 mins. Guess I was the last pizza for the night bcuz he was waiting on me when I pulled up. The pizza looked, smelled, and tasted delicious! We devoured it all in one sitting. We got the #9 - My favorite. It has meatball, pepperoni, and ricotta. I noticed that this pizza seemed popular from the reviews. It held up to the hype. Will get this again but there are so many options I may just try something new each time. If you haven't tried this place yet, you are missing out. Happy Hunting Yelpers!!! read more

The pizza was delicious and fresh, but what most impressed me were: 1) the incredible menu of "kinds" of pizza, including many ingredients not found on other menus 2) the geniality and generosity of the owners, who talked with me as I waited and invited me to take a photo of my pizzas cooking inside the oven so that my 3-yr-old could see it 3) all staff members were wearing proper masks -- sadly an aberration among local pizzerias Kindles will now be one of our two go-to pizza shops read more

The BEST pizza in the state! I dare you to prove me wrong! Not only is the food top notch, the owner has a true passion for the product he produces and it shows. He's always excited to introduce new items and show off his skills. I wish we had more places like this in the area. I also wish he opened a little earlier as I would eat there more often. 4pm is late for me due to my work schedule. read more

The best pizza we've had in a while! Friendly owner and quality ingredients. We will definitely be returning!

Take out. NO ONE liked any of the pizzas we got. No one. Not even the college kid who will eat the cardboard box. I had high hopes. But I'm not ordering from them again. Sorry. read more

You'd be better off ordering pizza from any other place. The crust was too thin and completely black, totally overcooked. The other dish we ordered, Gemelli Corkscrew Pasta, was beyond boring. To make matters even worse, the delivery service left our order on the doorstep in the snow without texting or calling us so it was cold. They had also severely jostled the food, spilling the pasta. We will never order from Kindles again and make this mistake. read more

LOVE THEIR WOOD BAKED PIZZA... The wood oven is right there in the open, tucked in the front corner. JUST WISH THE HOURS WERE BETTER. Because I am disappointed when I want Their pizza they aren't open Before 4 PM . Wonderful selection of pizza choices as well! JUST WANT MORE. SO DINNER IT IS!!! read more

Saw the restaurant on the Phantom gourmet. Local enough, curiosity got the best of me. Prices were rather high(6 wings for $12, the pizza we got was $21). Delivery from DoorDash was quick. Food was still warm. Not a big pizza, but filling (got the owners favorite, number 9) would be willing to try the other pizzas Also would recommend picking it up instead of DoorDash as the add ins made the price rather costly. read more

Kindles is one of my favorite area pizzerias. I love thin crust pizza with slightly charred edges. In addition to offering a great selection of specialty pizzas, you can customize your own. Think of them as a pizza concerige service. You can choose the level of char (or none), amount of cheese, sauce, type of crust (gluten-free) , etc. I also recommend their cranberry, walnut & feta cheese salad along with a side of their "oh my garlic" bread! read more

The huge variety of toppings are great and for once a pizza place does veggies right! Vegan friendly- The vegan pizza was great with mountains of caramelized onions, eggplants and whole cloves of roasted garlic. For the meat lovers out there the chicken parm pizza was also top notch. The crust is thin but missing that satisfying crunch leaving something to be desired. Overall a pretty good little pizza joint for takeout to please a crowd, but don't expect a perfect crisp NY crust. read more

This place has an amazing selection of options. There is something for everyone and they serve beer and wine which is a plus. I'm usually a veggie pizza person but my fiancé convinced me to get TWO different pizzas with meat. We had the truffle honey pot and the my favorite. They were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. We also got jalapeño poppers. They came out piping hot and with a great sauce. They were nice and crispy and not greasy at all. The staff and owner was incredibly informative and friendly as well. We'll definitely be coming back for more. read more
