Just tried this on Saturday after moving to the area. Arguably one of my favorite pizzas I've had since moving to the Boston area. The sauce is perfect, and the crust is cooked to perfection. The owner Tony was really kind and made great recommendations. As for the spot itself it's right on the main drag with a great view of Boston, and awesome outdoor seating when it's warm out. On another note I'm surprised by the Portnoy Rating, I thought the pizza was far better than the score he gave. I'm looking forward to getting Volo again really soon! read more

(PIZZA SCORE) 4 OUT OF 10. This place was recommended to me via social media. Though, I was not really thrilled with the taste of it myself. It is very high quality. The pies looked great. Very unique flavor sauce. Great flavor in the crust that was my favorite part. High quality cheese being used here. It is a smaller place. It will probably be hit or miss for you. You will have to try it your self to see. A bit higher on the pricer side. Nice presentation. Will update if I try in the future. I doubt I will sample this one again read more

I'm visiting family and they recommended Volo's Detroit style pizza for dinner. I called in an order for a Verde pizza (a white pizza with grilled chicken, broccoli, sautéed spinach and garlic). At $27, it's pricier than most pizza in the area, but with the great reviews, I figured it must be woth it. When we got the pizza home, I noticed that it had an abundance of broccoli and spinach, but a more limited amount of tiny pieces of chicken. The crust was the best part of the pizza. The pizza itself was dry and had absolutely no garlic or seasoning at all. It tasted like broccoli bread. Then my nephew found a piece of blue plastic in his pizza, which was mostly covered by cheese. Needless to say, I don't get the hype about this place. There are plenty of pizza places in the area, so I'm not likely to order from here again. read more

Really good Detroit style pizza. The double trouble has the perfect blend of cuppy pepperoni, hot honey, and jalapeños that were balanced *just right* with the cheese and sauce. Dough had good chew, inside was fluffy, and the cheese edges were crispy and not overdone. Quick and friendly on the phone. They were able to do the other half pepperoni which we really appreciated since not everyone liked jalapeños. Will definitely be back to give their NY style a try. read more

I have been dying to go here so my daughter and her hubby and I took the drive on this gorgeous Saturday. The Detroit style pizza (we had the cremini mushroom) was worth the ride! The crust is soft but also crispy (you have to try it to understand!) Had lots of mushrooms with mozzarella and ricotta. It was scrumptious! Filling without being heavy! The owners (I assume) were so incredibly friendly and nice!! We can't wait to go back! I'll have to thank my chiropractor for recommending such a great place! read more

Best pizza I've ever had. The crust was great, the cheese was great, the sauce was great, the pepperonis were great, what more is there to say? Everyone was also very kind. read more

We just arrived from WI and needed some good food to go-and YES!! This is hands down the best pizza we have had. Tried the Detroit style; it is monster thick and gooey-and the best crust made to perfection. Thank You my friend!! -we wish we lived closer... we would be a regular. read more

I ordered Volo for my cousins highschool graduation party, it was a huge hit! I brought the Detroit Margarita, Cheese and Pepperoni. Everyone absolutely loved it. The crust was cooked to perfection, the sauce is to die for and you can tell they use quality cheese. I highly recommend ordering from here as everyone will ask you where you got the pizza from. My family all said the same thing- "This pizza is so good, where did you order it from?" Thanks Volo for making me look good in front of my family ;) read more

I haven't had a lot of Detroit style pizza, I'm not any kind of pizza expert, but the Parm pizza with prosciutto, arugula, and fig glaze was outstanding. I couldn't wait to eat the leftovers the rest of the weekend. Make sure you call ahead. read more

Last night I had the pleasure of visiting Volo Craft Pizza in Swampscott, MA -- and wow, what an experience! The ambiance right by the water is beautiful, with Boston's skyline in the distance, and the service made us feel right at home. Owners Pina and Tony are so warm and personable -- it truly feels like family when you're there. Now, the food... absolutely incredible. Having grown up with New York City parents (and with my own background working in a pizza restaurant), I know good pizza when I taste it -- and this was next-level. Their Detroit-style Double Trouble pizza with hot honey was out of this world. The Caesar salad with fresh-grated cheese was crisp and flavorful, and don't even get me started on the cannolis with chocolate chips and lemon -- pure heaven. I'd happily drive 35 minutes any day for this. The pizzas are clearly made with love, and I can't wait to bring my parents back to try it. If you're anywhere near the North Shore (or even if you're not) -- do yourself a favor and try Volo. Highly recommend! #VoloCraftPizza #SwampscottMA #NorthShoreEats #PizzaLovers #DetroitStylePizza #BostonEats #FoodieFavorites read more

Volo is the real deal -- Portnoy needs a palate check Volo Craft Pizza in Swampscott is absolutely fire. The crust is perfection -- crispy with the right amount of chew -- and the ingredients are next level. You can tell they care about every pie that comes out of that oven. Flavor, texture, balance -- they've nailed it. Honestly, if Dave Portnoy thinks this isn't elite pizza, then good pizza could slap him in the face and he still wouldn't recognize it. Volo is in a league of its own and easily one of the best pizza spots on the North Shore. Do yourself a favor: skip the hype, trust your taste buds, and get to Volo. read more

I made a trip to my hometown even better by stopping here. Even though it was busy we got a table outside right away. Delicious pizza (try the cake like Detroit style). Chef made free can books for my mom because she was a teacher at SHS. Thank you! (Cannolli, not can books!) read more

We tried the vodka pepperoni Detroit style pizza and it was amazing! The woman who took our order was so warm and welcoming, she provided a family oriented environment which made us feel so comfortable to eat inside. Can't wait to come back for more. read more

One of my favorite go to spots for a solid take out pizza. We ended the summer with our neighbors & a couple pizzas by the pool. The Hawaiian style pizza was surprisingly the winner- loved the pineapple and a little bit of heat. Would highly recommend it and a Detroit style slice if you're looking for something more filling! read more

Excellent New York style pizza can be a little pricey though. And they have other things besides pizza also Italian type stuff. I would give it five stars, but because of the price I gave it four stars like I said it could be a little pricey. read more

Honestly the Best Detroit style pizza I've ever had in my life! It was lucky for us to walk in to small pizza shop during our engagement photo shoot on cloudy Sunday afternoon. The business was pretty small and they maybe had one table but people were eating outside since the weather was so nice and they've got tables outside. We ordered Margherita and Double Trouble (pepperoni, jalapeños, hot honey) with Detroit style as we were starving! The pizzas were so tasty, the dough was perfect, cheese was melting in our mouth, and crust was perfectly crispy. The only thing we regret is that we did not try New York Style pizza as we wonder how delicious it would be! Also, they don't do slices so you need to buy whole pizza. I just wish the place is nearby so we can have these yummy pizza slices every day! read more

The pizza at Volo Craft Pizza is top notch in the North Shore. They offer NY style pizza and Detroit style. Their Detroit style pizza is done right, crust was a perfect crisp with that sauce on top--especially for a New England joint. Also a hot take but the luau pizza is very tasty here. You might not agree with pineapple on pizza... but it's dang tasty here. Sticky wings was mid--not bad unless you're really craving an appetizer. Also located at a location with spectacular views of the Boston skyline. Cheers read more

very good pizza. when i lived in swampscott got chicago style and regular pizza. so dam good. wish he had more places

Pizza is a major food group for me and Volo's pizza rates way way up there within this food group! We got the double trouble pizza with pepperoni, jalapeños and hot honey ( Detroit style). Omg it was really good. Loved the heat and am still thinking about that pizza! Not much space in the store to enjoy the pizza though. read more

Out-of-this-world is how I would describe Volo's Detroit style "Double Trouble" pizza. The crispy edges were just right. The dough was nice and thick but not too heavy, with an amazing crunch. The cheese was gooey and flavorful. The sauce was perfect as were the cupped pepperonis. The hot honey and jalapeños were just right, not too hot but still had some kick. The owners were incredibly nice and welcoming. I strongly recommended Volo and can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely delicious and fresh! Made to order! Detroit style has awesome crust! take out only

My son and I have been wanting to try Volo for a while, we are very happy we did! We ordered two NY classic cheese pizzas and one Detroit cheese pizza. Both styles were delicious, my son loved the Detroit style, I'm not a fan of thick crust pizza, but it was good. Both of us loved the NY style pizza's. Great customer service, The sweet lady opened the door for my daughter carrying the pizzas to the car. Highly recommend Volo Craft Pizza ! read more

Top class service, delicious pizza with the perfect bite and flavors. I was really impressed with the vegan cheese Detroit style pizza that I got. The sauce tastes fresh and had a unique flavor, and the vegan cheese was one of the better vegan cheeses that I've had. I also got the vegetarian New York style pizza with normal cheese, and the eggplant took the pizza to another level. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Fantastic pizza and place! I make it a point to visit every time I am in the area! Great food, service, people and value. Keep hoping they will open up on the West Coast it's so good! read more

If you hate pizza, check out Volo craft pizza. You will be converted. If you love pizza, you've come to the right spot. Fair warning, this is a takeout spot. Don't expect to sit and enjoy your pizza inside. Either you live near the restaurant or go to a friends house in the area and drive as fast and as safely as you can so you can enjoy the best Detroit style pizza/one of the best pizza's in the state. If those aren't options, find a parking spot and eat it on the beach across the street. Don't forget to get some meatballs, they were very good. Next time I'll get a meatball sub. The New York style was good but I wouldn't rank it best in state but I think very good. Dave from Barstool would rank it 7.8 probably. The Detroit style though is at least 8.4 if not better. Get the pepperoni, you won't regret it! read more

What a nice place and a nice pizza! I had the chance to finally visit Volo, which i have heard so much about over the past 6 months. There is nothing like going to a place that you have wanted to. visit for a long time! Upon entering the shop, the first thing I was surprised about was how small it was. A small store-front a very busy street, for sure. As you can see in the pictures, there is not alot of room. However, I didn't let that bother me. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and personable. I ordered a cheese pizza. They have two types (NY- circle pizza and Detroit- square pizza). I chose the NY. The phone was ringing off the hook for take-out. I did not see any signs of a delivering service but that may be out back....not sure. The menu is full of great things, other than pizza. Next time I visit, I will try the wings as it seemed like alot of people were calling in for wings! The Celtics were playing in an hour so I figured people were watching the game and chowing down on pizza, wings and salad! What a great way to spend a Sunday! Back to my experience, when I got my pizza, I was surprised how fast it came out. I like the weight (not too heavy) and it didn't see too hot. When I got to my car, I opened the top and it was not steaming...which is good news for the roof of my mouth. The pizza tasted awesome. The sauce and cheese were perfect. It was not burn't and the crust was awesome. The pizza was cut in 6 slices, which was different but not bad. I will definitely return with family. Maybe place and order and sit by the ocean and have a picnic! 5-stars......but this pizza does not crack my top 5, which includes Regina's, Leone's, Armando's, Louie's and Sophie T's I put in the same class as Mario's and Cape Ann Pizza Miscellaneous: - price is good - parking is tough but you just need to be patient - only one table inside....small - drinks: Coke products read more

Went to Volo craft pizza for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it was the best pizza I have ever had. I had to go back again yesterday to try again, and once again it was AWESOME! I had the hot, honey pepperoni. The crust is so good. Detroit style. Can't wait to go back again when the weather gets a little warmer and sit by the water, viewing the Boston skyline . read more

Pizza is amazing the sauce is delicious will be back I'm going to try the rest of the menu soon read more

The Detroit style pizza here is amazing. So much so that you sometimes have to place your order early in the day. In fact, I have called midday to place my order for a 6:00 pick up and it has been ready when I got there or within minutes thereafter (which I prefer). The shop is small, so there isn't lots of space, but in good weather, you could eat at the little cafe tables outside. read more

This place does the best Detroit pizza in MA by a mile. Swampscott is a hike from where I stay when I'm back home visiting my parents but this place is worth it. Hits the mark on dough, cheese, and sauce...pizza is baked perfect and has the perfect caramelized crown crust. No complaints about the service and the ambiance of eating a nice pie outside in great weather is perfect. It's a small operation so not a lot of tables to dine so def more of a take out vibe but there are a handful of seats. 7 out of 7! read more

A simple concept-- good pizza to-go. What else could you need? Don't skip out on the Detroit style pie. Fluffy, caramelized crust with the most perfect combo of high-quality cheese and sauce. There's not much else to say here, the product speaks for itself. read more

When arriving in Swampscott and heading for our Airbnb, we decided takeout was our best option. Based on Yelp reviews, we tried Volo and was so impressed! I've never had Detroit style pizza, so of course we had to try it! Crispy crust, lots of cheese, super thick! We went with the Brussels white pizza (although now I wanna try the red version!). Staff was very friendly, pizza was promptly ready. Cash preferred, no seating inside. Grab a pie and head to the park across the way! If I'm ever here again, I'll def visit! read more

Wowowowow. Only had one other Detroit-style pizza but the rest can't possibly be as good. This crispy, buttery, soft dough is in a league of its own. Two pieces and you are satisfied for the day. The sauce is sweet and just perfect. The cheese knows its role as well - let the sauce and the dough do it's thing and don't dare upstage the stars of the show. One of the best pizzas on the north shore. And the traditional pizza is top notch as well. Grab a piece, sit by the ocean, and just realized how blessed you are. read more

This is the best pizza in the boston area, period. The drive up to Swampscott is beautiful, and makes getting the cheesy, saucy Detroit style pizza a special treat. Not only is the food delicious but the family who owns it is so sweet and helpful--they kept bringing out extra napkins for us as we made a mess scarfing down the pizza. We had the 'Roni and a sausage and soppressata pizza, but the table next to us got a vegetarian pizza that looked incredible too. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu read more

HOLY SHIIIIAT. This place is the bomb. Living in Chicago for six years and loving Peaquods pizza this is the closest thing I've found by far to it. I just love that somewhat burnt crispy crust and volo absolutely killed it. I've never tried Detroit style pizza before today but it was so delicious. Not as thick as Chicago deep dish pizza but just as good if not better . Friendly staff taking phone orders and pick up. Its a hole in the wall place that does takeout only, I'm sure if they opened a full service restaurant with seating...they would make even more of a killing. We sat in our car near the water and enjoyed eating the pizza right out of the box. Bravo! Support local. read more
