A Small Guide To Finding The Best Waltham Pizza

By Amy Phillips


Many pizzerias and abound because of the demand for the popular dish from Italy. It is tasty, easy to buy and very portable. It also keeps well in the fridge. If you are in Waltham at the moment, you may be in need of a small guide to find the best Waltham pizza. This simple article with some basic facts will attempt to be the guide for you.

Doing a cursory check on the internet will bring out about almost twenty and over results or establishments selling this food. And of course there is the Yelp listing of the ten best pizza places in town, but these are only top ten because of servings and specialties other than the food in question. Thus it will be really up to your taste of what makes the best.

Waltham offers a variety of pizzerias that serve traditional to non traditional varieties. Traditional in the sense that they are close to the original dish, Hawaiian excluded, of the marinara variety. Most pizzas are known for their sauces that are basically strewn on top of flat breads and baked.

Traditional ones all use the marinara sauce and its many versions or modifications. Thus the fight for taste will be the kind of sauce that you use when talking traditional. A rule of thumb for traditional creations is that it will use Marinara sauce and will have less than five toppings on it, excluding fruits and fish like anchovies. This will be as close to the original that you can probably get to.

Neapolitan varieties can also be had from some establishments, but may pale in comparison with the original European versions, which require genuine buffalo Mozzarella and the ripest San Marino tomatoes. Most will have versions of these two in either regular crust or thin crust varieties. But of course your taste will dictate on which crust to put your flavors on.

Non traditional ones will be those ones that were invented after World War 2 when an influx of Italians poured into the USA. These ones will be the crispy and deep dish varieties carrying names such as New Yorker and Chicago Deep Dish varieties. Though these abound in Waltham, their tastes will all differ, primarily depending on the kind of sauces used. Thus the yummier the sauce, the yummier the pie will be. The winner therefore lies in how good the sauce used is basically.

Should you also be one of those that love crispier crusts, then buy one that has been fired up and baked in a wood burning oven. These will also have a smokier taste that adds to overall flavor. There is no problem in looking for wood burning oven establishments for they will usually advertise it as a marketing gimmick.

And there you have it, how to look for the best pizza in the city of Waltham. Just stick to the rule of the thumb, the better the sauce the better the creation, and the lesser ingredients the more traditional it is basically. And of course, if real blooded Italians go to the same place, then it must be a good place to start.
