Dropped in and had salads here today. They were fresh & delicious, way beyond our expectation! I bet other items (pizza & pasta) are as delicious as salads! read more

Had the sausage stromboli. Pretty decent. For $10 got a good sized portion for dinner (probably would have been too much to eat for lunch, though). Went to Walden Pond to walk it off, so that was nice. read more

It's the best pizza in the area. They will make whaever you want to order. I like to order spinach with garlic and lemon. yummmmmm if only they delivered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Absolutely the worst steak bomb sub that I have ever had! Dripping with brown water and salty as heck. The very finely chopped meat seems to have been pre-cooked/boiled or maybe it is leftover roast beef - not all like fresh shaved steak cooked on a griddle. I was very hungry but could only get through half of the sub just to fill my stomach a bit. Went in thinking I'd just get a slice of pizza to tie me over but at $4.25/slice, I thought why not spend more to get something more substantial. The two people behind the counter were unpleasant to boot. Bad food, unfriendly staff - never coming back! read more

Quick, delicious lunch place. The guys that work here don't talk much and I have no problem with that. Parking is tough because it's on the street but well worth it. I come for lunch whenever I'm in Concord. Wish they took AmEx. read more

To the negative reviewers! Before you hide behind your keyboard after getting some liquid courage, having a glass of wine or two, think twice. We support all small business owners who risk everything to operate a small business and serve you the customer, unless you have owned and operated a small business it is difficult to understand. It would be no different if someone who did not agree with you at your 9 to 5 job, going to your boss to tell them how horrible they think you are. In other words if you do not have anything good to say, DON'T SAY IT! This place is great, we do not know the owners but, every time we go there we can see that they are incredibly hard working. Keep up the good work! read more

You might think pizza, when you're looking, but, the name is: "Italian Kitchen". Try the pasta! Home made huge portions. I decided to try the vegetable lasagna, not expecting much. Then, WOW! Huge big 2 inch pieces of real fresh carrots, zucchini + squash. Good sauce. read more

The other reviews pretty much capture the essence of this low-frills, budget-conscious, casual Italian dining restaurant. The service is somewhere between perfunctory and gruff. The various pastas get good marks and the pizza is decent but not great - the GF pizza isn't anything special. So, for a quick, casual bite to feed that Italian craving, Walden's Italian Kitchen will fit the bill. read more

I strongly recommend that you try out Walden Italian kitchen, located in west concord. Walden's signature Walden salad with grilled chicken is scrumptious .They also offer delicious pizzas, call ones and a great assortment of mouth watering entrees.You can get flavorful sandwiches, subs and also many fine tasting side dishes as well. Treat yourself to lunch or dinner at Walden's Italian kitchen and you should be pleasantly surprised! read more

five stars for concord, 4 stars overall in all my pizza-eating experience. great prices, wonderful pizza. medium crust, much lighter than it looks, which is at once crispy, chewy, and tasty. the sauce tasted like it had a hint of pepperonici, which was a good surprise. great sauce, generous on the cheese (aka oozing with pizza pleasure). very popular -- lots of families and kids. they gave me arguably two slices for the price of one for about $3.50. i paid cash (not sure what the beef is about potential credit card stuff). i'll be back! annie read more

I like everything I have eaten here but my fave is a slice of the Walden Pizza. Great price for a large slice and very tasty. The guys that work here are very friendly and I never leave unsatisfied. read more

Walden is a regular lunch place for us in West Concord. The pizza is pretty good and they give you two slices when you order one, yet its not outstanding. I love their calzones and steak subs. The service is ok, standard compared to other pizza places. They do not like to take credit/debit for orders under $10, which is really inconvenient, but they usually hem and haw then take it anyway. The restaurant itself is rather loud, oddly because of the employees, not so much the customers. It is also a little crowded feeling because of the layout. read more

The pizza is great thin style crispy pizza. Their calzone are good as well as the grilled chicken greek salads.

Not a huge salad fan, but damn is their caesar salad w/grilled chicken amazing. Definitely going here again in the near future.

Pepperoni pizza was real tasty. Chicken cutlet sub also good, was massive, bread was really fresh. Pizza slices are big - wide bodies (like 1.5 times size of a normal slice). Came out quick. Very casual, typical pizza joint decor. Would go back if I'm in Concord again. read more

All I have had here are the slices of pizza and they were good. I am kind of a pizza snob and while this place is not up there with the absolute best, it is better than most around here and fine for a neighborhood restaurant. The people behind the counter are nice. I went back recently and liked it. I am upping my 3 star to 4 although it is probably 3.8. read more

Pretty good pizza. No frills but I have had a lot worse. Not awesome. Bertucci is better.

I ordered a personal size chicken Parm Calzone and my mom got two slices, we each got drinks 17$ kinda steep. Calzone lacked cheese but the slices were decent. The staff was friendly and knowlegable about there product. Willing to try again thats why I'm at a cross roads of a 3 read more

Husband and I ate there last night. We've had the food before. A couple of years ago, we ordered a pizza on New Year's Eve. The worst pizza ever. The cheese topping looked like a skin flap. Horrendous! The next time we dined in with friends. Pizza again. It wasn't deadful but we didn't go back until last night. The food was bad, and the atmosphere was less than pleasant. As we were placing our order---husband, chicken calzone; me, spaghetti and meatballs---we were told to sit on one side of the restaurant so that the female employee could sweep the floor. We sat down and shortly there after I received my pasta; husband's order didn't come until 5 minutes later. Better restaurants---including MacDonalds---serve all members of the party at the same time. And what is up with making customers eat with plasticware? There was a breeze on our side, so we we moved to the other side, weaving around the chairs that were left scattered about the tiny restaurant by the employee. I bit into the meatball, and I have to say that it was the worst-tasting meatball I have EVER EVER eaten. It must have come in bulk from a manufacturer a thousand miles away. The texture and taste were awful. There was no spice in it---no oregano, no garlic, nothing. When husband tasted it, he immediately spat it out into a napkin. The pasta sauce was bland. Husband said his calzone was fine. While we ate, we felt like we were eating at a family reunion. The mostly male staff was talking with the customers; what appeared to be the lone female employee, gave up sweeping the floor and sat down to chat with friends. When husband got a take-home container from the employee at the register, the employee asked how it was. Husband said "good," which was true for his meal, not mine. As we were leaving, the female employee watched husband leave a tip---a token for the person who was responsible for bussing the table. As we were leaving, we still had to weave around the chairs left scattered about the place. Once we got to the door, husband said "run!" We didn't literally run, but I will never go back there again. read more

Very good pizza place! The cheese pizza by the slice is really good! The staff is good, and from what I see, the place is very clean. And also, during lunch time hours{12:00-3:00} waldens' is packed, which is a great sign! Take my word for it,try it! You'll be glad you did! read more

Pizza was good... I ordered a buffalo chicken calzone zone... Got a chicken with peppers calzone.. Didn't realize until I took a bite... Food was brought to the table of every other patron except me myself and my friend... I must have offended someone... I do a lot of work in this area of town.. Will not be trying this spot again . read more

A great, affordable, delicious little place. With awesome italian food tat is made on the spot. And the italian language that is spoken by the employees adds to the italian flavor. Highly recommended! read more

Actually, the owners of this excellent restaurant are from Jordan, not Greece, so let's be sure to always check our facts! Regardless, the quality is consistent, the portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable and the food is absolutely delicious. For this category of eatery, five stars, truly as good as it gets. But don't go there. We don't want you taking our booth! read more

Great lunch carryout place. I like the falafel, and the Buffalo Chicken salad (not on the menu - order it special)

My absolute favorite pizza. It's thin crust and delicious! I've lived in California for ten years now but every single time I come home to visit family this is one of my first stops. The food is always warm and fresh and the flavors are perfection. It's the perfect hole-in-the-wall authentic Italian food experience. And the staff has all worked there for years, are so friendly and take great care of their customers. A family favorite for sure. read more

I've tried just about every pizza joint in the area, and this is my favorite place by far. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is good. They're generous with the toppings, and the ingredients are fresh and high quality. (A few other local places use canned mushrooms, and that skeeves me.) I love that their pizza is not greasy. Good food, good prices. What else can you ask for? read more

Reliably good salads. The greens are fresh. The grilled chicken is moist and generous. Salads come with a fresh baked roll. Best in class for local fast food for these items. Pizza's okay. Pasta is below average. read more

BEST CHEESE PIZZA IN TOWN! I could take or leave the rest of the menu, don't order the salad you'll be disappointed & any of the sandwiches are greasier than I would like them to be. But the pizza is worth it, really nice spices in the sauce, crust is great, truly delicious. read more

I love to come here and get a grilled chicken Walden salad. They give you a lot of chicken, which is juicy. The salad is always fresh and I love the dressing, especially dipped in the triangular roll they include. The pizza looks absolutely delish but I have yet to try it. I have had some of their sandwiches and they never disappoint. Great local place for lunch while I am at work. read more

OK, so I'm just a daughter of S. Philly parents, not Tuscan, Umbrian, etc., , but I thought the pasta was like manna from heaven. I loved the staff and took pics that I'll have to post one day. So inexpensive! Within sight of the state prison! Who could ask for more? read more

Honestly, the way that the employees treat customers is terrible. We asked for a sub, usually, you want the sub toasted right? But when the sub was ready it was not toasted. Keep in mind that this has happened multiple times. When we asked for the sub to be toasted, the waitress that served us gave us the nastiest look and mumbled some rude remarks under her breath. If a customer is asking for something that is more than reasonable than it should be no problem. Clearly, to them, any sort of request is asking for something they cannot handle. The food is okay, but the service and employees could be improved. Still debating on whether to return or not. read more

Good, but not as good as other choices in Concord. I prefer the subs at New London because they toast the bread, and the pizza from Sorento's, where they have a brick oven. The crust isn't as crisp at Walden Italian Kitchen. I come here only when i'm in a hurry, because it's closer than the alternatives. read more

I checked my Trusted Yelp app for a lunch spot after a business meeting in Concord and after reading the reviews, decided to try The Walden Kitchen.... Very glad I did!! If you want pizza, this seems like the place to come after seeing a steady stream of locals ordering slice after slice for over an hour. I also think they sold 30 chicken parms while I was there. I decided to go for the Caesar Salad w Chicken based on a review and Wow was it good. The chicken was grilled to perfection and soooo tender. Not like the chicken hockey pucks you get at most places... Tender, perfectly seasoned, awesome! Everything was fresh, nice portion size and good value. I'll be back for sure! read more

Their salads and pasta dishes are far better than what you'd expect after ordering at a counter. The pizza is fine (a single slice is easily big enough to be a kids meal), but it's the other dishes that stand out. read more

Veal Parm, Chicken Parm sandwiches not good. Veal and Chicken deep fried with hard thick batter overwhelmed the meat. Worst sandwiches we ever had. First trip yesterday and will not return. The use of Italian to describe that food is a disgrace. read more

the pizza here is GARBAGE; its literally cardboard with barely any cheese or sauce on it. horrible. will never eat here again.

Awful.... Why do you guys call yourselves an Italian kitchen, if there is NOTHING Italian about your cooking. Have you ever tasted your pasta? Firstly, it's macaroni, not pasta. Secondly, how can you possibly make it so disgusting??? Greasy, tasteless mush. Never again. Please visit Italy to find out what Italian food actually taste like. read more

We use this restuarant to host a company party and the food was excellent

Walked in for an early lunch at 11:10 ordered a Greek salad with chicken, waited 20 minutes. The Chicken needs to be grilled so this takes time, I know because I order this lunch at least once a week from Walden Italian Kitchen. I politely waited while the next 5 people to enter and order the same item were served in a timely fashion before myself. It has now been 45 minutes before one of the staff, not even the manager, noticed me glaring at them. longest wait ever, really annoyed I had to wait and watch everyone be served before myself. I hope the staff reads this review and pays more attention to their regular customers and recognizes there contribution to local business before its lost all together. read more

We come here often from Sudbury. The pizza is by far the best in the area (Sudbury, Framingham, Concord, Wayland), salads, soups and subs are very good. The staff is ALWAYS friendly, service is prompt and there is absolutely no problem with credit cards. This staff works very hard and it shows - this is a popular shop and definitely worth a visit. read more
