I like the pizza here. We stopped by last night after whale watching at West Harbor. We were…read morestarving, but what a chaotic night to crave pizza! It was a 70-minute wait for orders. At first, they seemed organized as they called out names for pick-up and the flow was going. However, once our 70 minutes passed, we moved inside so we wouldn't miss our order. We checked in and finally got our food. The pizza seemed to be missing lots of pepperoni, but we didn't want to complain because we were so hungry. The wings were disappointing--bloated and soggy. To top off the chaos, a guy walked in while we were eating, and the staff shouted out the name "Brett." He looked amazed that they "knew him", anyway they handed him the order without checking the system. Ten minutes later, he came back saying he had the wrong pizza because it had pineapple. Meanwhile, a frustrated woman was waiting for her pineapple pizza, and the real Brett was outside drinking a beer! "Random Brett" had just come out of nowhere and was given the wrong order. Every mistake was given a "10-minute fix" estimate. The cashier was explaining to t the kitchen that she's getting yelled at by customers for all the blunders, and while there were five people working in the kitchen when we arrived, only one gal was left by the time we were eating. Someone even came in from next door asking for a manager, but none was present. Get it together, guys! You have a good thing going with the pizza, but the service was a mess and the wings were not good.

Caveat: I have only had pizza from Fat Tomato Pizza via delivery…read more I recently ordered a pizza from Fat Tomato, and it was not good ... not good at all. I would normally chalk it up to the delay from delivery, but I live nearby so there wasn't much of a delay. Food: I ordered their Rolling Hills Special Pizza which has sun-dried tomato, goat cheese, garlic, and arugula on top. To begin, the crust was disappointing. The undercarriage (that is, the bottom of the crust) was pale in color without any char. It also had a lot of flop, drooping significantly. More disappointing was the layer of congealed, rubbery cheese on top. There was way too much goat cheese, which was overpowering. I ended up trashing more than half the pizza. Bottom Line: Not good. I want to give Fat Tomato another try, but I have a hard time justifying it.

The price was okay I guess but the pizza was a little smaller than I thought. My only one-off is that the dough was undercooked.

It was messy!

About twenty years ago, restaurants specializing in mass customization of pizzas became a thing. A…read morelot of entrants in the category came and went. MOD Pizza (as a brand) is a survivor. I have never eaten at this location before; if I had a previous experience with the brand, it has been more than 15 years. I think this brand's differentiator is that you can choose an unlimited combination of toppings. On this occasion, I ordered a "mini pizza" with one topping ($11.09) and a fountain drink ($3.59). With tax, my ticket was $16.11, before gratuity. The pepperoni mini-pizza is sized for an individual and is sliced into four pieces. I asked for them to prepare it "house style". The positive is that the crust was very thin; and it was crisp. The amount of sauce was appropriate; and if you like a sauce that has a bit of "tang" to it, then you'll be pleased. But for a place that allows unlimited application of toppings, I felt the amount of pepperoni applied to this pie was spare. And herein lies the conflict: For what I received, I feel the pizza was overpriced. If there is value, it probably happens when you're allowed to choose your toppings. At the same time, the crust is very thin; I don't see how much the foundation can support if topped excessively. The in-store seating is clean and reasonably comfortable. The service was better than ok.

First time my family and I have tried this place and we all really enjoyed it. We got a half and half of peperoni and Napolitana. The Napolitana was definitely my favorite and I would highly recommend trying that one. The flavor is perfect, the garlic is not overwhelming, and the tomatoes and sauce are fresh and light. Every bite of it was perfect. My wife didn't love the crust but I thought it was great. Holds well with a little crisp but not burnt. We even tried the flan because we had to see what a Brazilian flan is like. It was perfectly creamy and likely served in the jar that it's baked in so you get all the syrupy goodness at the bottom. Looking forward to enjoying more pizzas and desserts from here in the future. Definitely check it out and enjoy!

The São Paulo side was my favorite. The chicken was flavorful, the corn added a nice touch of sweetness, and the creamy catupiry brought everything together perfectly. The Calabresa side was also really good, with tasty sausage and onions. Everything tasted fresh, and the crust was thin and soft. What really made the experience stand out was the owner. He is actually from Brazil and was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you could tell he genuinely cares about his food and his customers. That kind of personal touch makes a big difference. The vibe is casual and relaxed, and between the great food and the amazing service, it is definitely a place I would come back to. If you are looking to try something new and different, I highly recommend it.

The toppings were fresh and just well balanced and flavorful. You can tell right off the bat they care for their customers when you receive pizzas like this and not the usual hurry get the order out messy greasy pizza. Their crust was delicious and slightly different to others but still delicious with a dip of ranch. Overall it was delicious and I'm positive we found our new pizza place and I'm so glad it's only 7 min from us. Can't wait to come in person soon.

Her dad ordered one for her on Valentine's Day, and ever since then, that's the only shape she wants. I figured it was worth asking, and without hesitation, they made it happen. Seeing her face light up was priceless. The customer service here is always outstanding, and the food never disappoints. You can truly taste the fresh basil on the pizza, and that's when you know you're eating somewhere that cares about quality. Every bite is flavorful, fresh, and consistently delicious. If you're stopping by, don't forget to grab some ice cream too--it's the perfect way to finish the meal. This place has absolutely earned its spot as my favorite pizza restaurant.

Just for context, it was my niece's high school graduation. A day to celebrate, turned into something that made me want to write this review. We came in around 730pm, a group of 10 that had an 8pm reservation. We were hoping to get seated early but didn't expect it if it wasn't available. No biggie, but 2 large groups went in ahead right when they were going to give us the menus and the other parties got in first. Didn't really start the right way already. But moving on. We were seated outside (we didn't request a specific inside/outside) so no expectation, but the patio was cold and we asked for a heater (which they had in view) and another party requested the drapes to be opened (which is fine) but we could've used the heater and it didn't come for another 30mins. When the heater did come, it wasn't turned on for a long while and when it did get turned on, it was blazing hot and we asked a staff to turn it down. The guy turned it off. All in all it was yet again another interesting interaction. Then comes the ordering, the restaurant has daily specials and the regular menu. The waiter went around and described the specials and when we asked about the prices (the regular menu had prices) the waiter said it was a secret. Maybe it was an attempt to be humorous, but after clarifying we wanted to know the prices the waiter asked which one and had a weird reaction to our question. It was all awkward and came off very off-putting. One of the water glasses had a bug in it and we asked for a replacement. Twice. The waiter didn't replace it for along time and then he said he didn't know we were asking for a replacement. The water glass that was put in as a replacement had fingerprints, and smears on the glass and at that point we didn't want to bother. We showed it to the waiter and he was apologetic and said they ran out of glasses. (Does that mean they're giving us dirty glasses bc they ran out?) We ordered a couple of items and I think there was a misunderstanding on the order and they brought out something that we mentioned we wanted but ultimately didn't order. A busser put put the calamari on the table and we told them we canceled it. The busser graciously took it away but the waiter put it back on the table. We told him we didn't order that and he actually argued with us that we did order it. He smirked when he took it away. We ordered items and the food started coming in after 40mins. (It was busy so understandable). But it was important to note that we ordered pretty quickly and our dishes came so late while other tables next to us had their food served quicker. We didn't order anything that requires elaborate time to prepare. When the food did come, the pizza came out cold but at that point we were just done with the place. They did comp the pizza, and told me that I should've said something so they can reheat the pizza. But the culmination of our experience overall really made us not even try to call the waiter. Some of the items were decent, but it is really hard to appreciate the food when the service felt like the food was served with a side of rude. Overall it was a pretty horrible experience and would never recommend this place.

This is an order at the counter and they bring it to your table kind of place. The service was nice. This place has self seating. It has both booths and indoor picnic tables. I have multiple sports on TV playing at the same time. Normally, I'm a big fan of their pizza. However, this last time, I found the pizza to be a little doughy and a a bit skimpy on the cheese and toppings. For $35 for a medium three topping pizza, I felt the value was not there tonight. Maybe it was an off night. Bottom line: will I be back? I will probably try them again (just out of some semblance of loyalty to a chain, which is mostly given me good pizza, memories), but if the quality is the same, I'm just gonna have to find another pizza place.
