    Bean Special and Special
    Thomas T.

    Lynwood is a classic pizza spot in town that probably looks the same as when it first opened serving South Shore bar pizza. There is usually a wait and be sure to put your name down at the bar for a table. The restaurant has a local and retro vibe. Cash only. I got half special and bean special that is cooked crispy to hold the toppings. You'll definitely will want to request utensils! The bean special is the first time I have had baked beans on a pizza and it is pretty good. The pizza is loaded and the crust has a perfect crunch. I really enjoy the pizza here and if you're not able to dine in there was many people picking up.

    I saw the Lynnwood Café on the phantom gourmet and decided to have my first Southshore bar pizza once you enter the front door it's a throwback in time The bar area and stools along with the booths, is just the way I like it. There's only one item on the menu and that's pizza My guest is from the area and usually orders from Town Spa Tiffany was our server and we let her know that it was our first time at the Lynwood. Jessica came over and gave us a menu for take home along with aa magnet and a pen for us first timers Thank you Jessica and Tiffany my guest ordered a mushroom pizza and they said it was better than Towne Spa pizza. I had nothing to compare to as this again was my first South Shore pizza I ordered the special with anchovy minus the green peppers. I want to guess and say that they probably use cheddar cheese for the pizza topping. I'm more of a mozzarella fan I also thought the pizza was soft meaning that a fork and knife was needed. I took a mushroom onion and linguiça pizza home and reheated it in the toaster oven The pizza was still soft even after reheating it I like my pizza a little bit more firmer but listen this place has been selling pizzas forever and there's a line out the door so they must be doing something right if you haven't visited go ahead and enjoy yourself a Southshore bar pizza at the Lynnwood Café

    Everything you think you know about Pizza is about to change... beginning with where to get great pizza. Randolph, MA happens to be a hidden destination pizza haven like Connecticut! I know it sounds crazy, but these people have a Baked Bean Pizza that will blow you away, and the Pepperoni Pizza is real deal! Order your pizza Laced and Crispy. The burned edges are a must try.

    In my attempt to visit all the SSBP (South Shore Bar Pizza) notables, I landed at the Lynwood Cafe today. Even though this is a local dive bar (albeit charming, in a land-that-time-forgot way), we showed up along with everyone else, even though it was around 1:30pm. I figured the locals were more noontime lunchers. I was wrong. The wait from time of seating to pizza serving ran close to 55 minutes. Even if you'll be eating-in, it's a good idea call your order in before getting in your car. It's suggested on the paper menus, so believe it! My friend had the hamburger pizza, which was generously sprinkled with crumbled beef. I'd have preferred the meat be seasoned a bit more (garlic?), but the tomato sauce shined through for a solidly delicious pie. I had the pepper, onion, mushroom & salami Special. The salami and shrooms come chopped, which makes for an even bite and mouth feel. I rather liked not having hot salami slices slapping me back in the face. The salami, however, needed more zing--it was not easy to taste among the other toppings. I'd try this again and swap out pepperoni for the salami. What the Lynwood does exceptionally well is a crispy bottom and laced edges. No flop on these pies. The comparison: for me, the overall flavor of bar pizza remains #1 with Town Spa in Stoughton, but Lynwood edges them out on all things crust. New favorite trends in SSBP make Bardo's a consideration for cheese blend and unique toppings. If you're a SSBP lover, you need to try them all, because Bardo's could knock off both Lynwood and Town Spa from top rankings.

    AMAZING! I am definitely coming again. Also, great service. Good price and a very cool environment

    Hamburg Pizza

    One of my favorite bar Pizza places in Massachusetts. Currently living North of Boston and nothing on the North shore compares to this pizza. At least once a month, I travel to Randolph to treat myself. The ambiance is lacking as it's an old restaurant but you're there for the pizza not the decor. The service is alway great. It can get really busy so be prepared to wait. If you call for takeout it could be an hour wait.

    My husband pulled me into the South Shore bar pizza Facebook page. I get it. I am on the hunt for the best. We have been to two places (together) so far. Lynwood won't be the winner. but let's talk about it: The good: - Love the basic, retro interior (and I don't mean thy put effort into the retro, it's just how it has been) - colorful staff (I over heard another waitress deliver a pizza and say to the customer: " Daddy loves his meat!" ) - Laced edges and cooked to order- well done - Great sauce to cheese ratio - The retro disk slide bowling game (and it's free) - The price! Around $40 or our family of 4 to have lunch The bad: - The retro disk bowling game is partially broken (think missing pins) - The fruit punch I ordered was Gatorade (I hate that funky Gatorade taste) - No changing table - The crust/dough. There is something about it. It made me feel like it was a flatbread but one friend coined it frozen pizza crust and that makes sense too. - The pizza maker went a little crazy with mushrooms in the back. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and a linguica pizza. No mushrooms ordered but there were at least 4 mushrooms found in our pizzas. - Cash only (good lord that's hard in this day and age!) True score: 3.5 and I would totally eat it again

    Do NOT order from here. I found a whole clump of hair in my…read morefood. Not a strand--a full, nasty chunk. It was absolutely disgusting and completely ruined my meal. When I called, they were rude and dismissive like it was no big deal. They offered to remake the food but didn't want to give me a refund--which makes no sense. With something that disgusting in my food, I should have gotten a refund, no question. Honestly, I should have gotten both. Instead, I had to go all the way back there in person just to get my money back--even though I paid for delivery. On top of that, I ordered a steak bomb with extra meat and somehow ended up with more peppers than meat. The whole reason I paid for extra was because the last time the portions were skimpy--and I didn't even complain then. I simply asked for it to be made correctly this time. Instead, they tried to flip it and act like I was "complaining from the beginning," which wasn't true at all. When I got there, I forgot to bring the other sub with me, and they were acting like it was a hassle because of that. Mind you, I didn't eat it--I threw it away when I got home. Either way, the attitude was unnecessary. And after looking at other reviews, I'm clearly not the only one who's had issues like this. If this is what's ending up in customers' food, I don't even want to imagine what the kitchen looks like. This is beyond unsanitary and honestly something the Board of Health needs to look into. Save your money and go somewhere else. I didn't order anything else from here, and I won't ever be ordering again. This place is dirty, unprofessional, and clearly doesn't care about basic food safety. My camera does suck but you get the picture looks like drain hair or pubic smh so disgusting.

    Took my daughter here yesterday for her birthday. One of our favorite places to go…read more Ordered soup and some apps I got the French onion soup which was horrible. Tasted like dishwater. I sent it back. However, everything else was spot on. My daughter had the chicken parm panini which she said was excellent. She took half of her sandwich home. She also got onion rings. Hot, thin and crispy and a cup of clam chowder which is always great and thick We shared the stuffed mushrooms which are always our go to. Served on a spread of lobster bisque I got the pork dumplings which were delicious. My grandson had the kids meal hotdog it was really big for a kids meal, served on a brioche bun I secretly asked for a lemon cake to celebrate their birthdays. Corey brought it out with a candle in it Corey was our server and he's been there for years. Very pleasant and attentive Overall another great experience just won't order the onion soup again

    Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with our experience tonight…read more Our bill was around $100, and unfortunately it was some of the worst food we've had in the area. We ordered steak tips medium rare and a chicken sandwich. The steak tips came out severely overcooked , burnt on the outside, tough, and hard as a hockey puck. The chicken sandwich seemed absolutely drenched in what tasted like Frank's RedHot or a similar hot sauce, completely overpowering everything else. What's frustrating is that we've eaten here before and had a great experience, which is why we came back. This visit felt completely different. I honestly wondered if there was a different chef in the kitchen. The service itself was okay, and to be clear, we weren't looking to make a scene or demand items be taken off the bill. However, most of the food was left on the plate, and nobody stopped by to ask if there was an issue or why it wasn't being eaten. Maybe this was just an off night, but based on this experience, it's hard to justify spending $100 here again.
