The owner is just the kindest lady who will go above and beyond for the satisfaction of her customers.

I got my cake with chocolate chip and chocolate, it was FAB. It's my 30th and they wrote it perfectly how I wanted it.

When you walk in you are hit with nostalgia, it is such a cute ice cream shop. Very classic and old school vibes. There were so many families and people enjoying their treats it just put me in the best mood. The menu can be a little bit overwhelming but in a good way. They have so many options to choose. I decided on a hard ice cream although I love soft serve. I chose a fun seasonal flavor, Rabbit Stew. YUM! I definitely will be forcing my boyfriend to drive 20 minutes to come back here for another treat. Definitely a gem in downtown Wakefield!

The pricing is moderate here and they also offer DoorDash delivery. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating along the wall and front windows, plus a gumball machine. I ordered the fan favorite Turkey Apple Cheddar ($12 plus tax) making it Fat Larry-Double Meat (add $2) which was made to order promptly and wrapped to go. The sandwich had plenty of deli sliced roast turkey, cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, apples, mayo, & an onion fig jam between toasted marble rye (my choice of bread). This sandwich was amazing and I will have to also try out their other sandwiches on my next visits to Fat Larry's.

Mutz Pizzeria - North Shore's Must-Try Pizza Spot…read more Mutz Pizzeria in Middleton, MA, is the real deal. Run by the TikTok legend himself--Marco the Pizza Man--this spot is a must-visit for any pizza lover. If you've ever caught his TikTok Live, you know how fun it is to watch him make orders in real time, and visiting in person only adds to the experience. We ordered a variety of pizzas to put Mutz to the test: Buffalo Chicken ("Boofalo Chicken")- A solid take on a classic, packed with flavor and just the right amount of kick. You can get blue cheese or ranch on the side to dip it in. Mushroom & Garlic ("Fungi") - My personal favorite because they don't skimp on the garlic--every bite was packed with bold, savory goodness. Sausage & Ricotta - The creamy ricotta balanced the sausage perfectly, making for a rich and indulgent slice. Pizzaman's Favorite (Banana Pepper & Pepperoni) - A genius combo of tangy heat and salty goodness that just works. Each pizza was cooked to perfection--crispy crust, well-balanced toppings, and none of that excessive grease you find on so many North Shore Greek-style pizzas. And the best part? The prices are reasonable: $15 for a cheese pizza and $18 for specialty pies. One unexpected win? The house-made ranch. I'm not usually a big ranch person, but I have to give props--it's fresh and clearly made with care. The ambiance is also a vibe. The pink theme, Post Malone references, and foosball table** give it a cool, laid-back energy. It's a to-go-only spot with no seating, but the open-concept setup lets you see everything happening, which adds to the charm. Mutz Pizzeria delivers on quality, taste, and atmosphere. Marco says it best: More pizza, less drama. And honestly, with pizza this good, that's all you need. Final Ratings: - Food: 9/10 - Ambiance: 7/10 (Cool pink theme, Post Malone, and foosball table, but no seating) - Affordability: 7/10 (Great quality for the price)

I had a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese, green pepper and extra sauce. The pizza was good. The crust is great and the vegan cheese they use is good too. My only issue was that there was only a very thin layer of sauce - even with me ordering it with extra sauce. It needed a lot more sauce. The huz got a cheesy crust/stuffed crust style pizza with sausage and pepperoni. After actually not recommending i order this pizza, the guy explained that they take their gluten free calzone dough and use it to make the pizza so they can fold the edge over to contain cheese. It is a different dough/crust than they use for just a regular gluten free pizza. He also stated they did a well-done bake on this dough because it needs it. He also explained that they have separate prep areas for the GF pizzas. We appreciated that they are mindful of this and knowledgeable about their product in this manner. Its funny that I had to talk him into letting me order this pizza. He expressed fear about bad reviews. I explained we are a household used to GF items and its not a problem. Im happy to report that the pizza was very good. He had nothing to worry about with us. Also, when i tell you that the gluten free onion rings were AMAZING, believe me. These were some of the best onion rings ive ever had - gluten free or conventional!! Lastly, I also had a small meatball sub with a regular/conventional roll. This was also good. Overall great menu of conventional and gluten free pizza and subshop items. Gluten free items always cost more so a higher purchase total was expected. The only thing that i would say was unexpectedly pricey was the small conventional meatball sub coming in at $15. That said, loving the wide range of gluten free options and will be back when im in the area again.
