Newton Centre slice review: A pizza my mind

By Jenna Kriensky

Bill’s, which has gained a reputation as the iconic pizza party spot at the end of the soccer season, has its own take on the Italian classic. O ering both red and white pizzas on many crust options, including gluten-free, Bill’s impressive 18-inch pies clocked in at $17.99.

In agreement with its industrial-sized slices, the pizza was quite heavy — not the best meal if you’re hoping to engage in any movement afterward. e crust was a highlight with a breadstick-esque crunch; however, the pizza lacked my preferred abundance of tomato sauce and instead was quite oily. Over the inadequate sauce quantity, the cheese was tough, ripping instead of providing a satisfying stretch.

Jinny’s serves their pizzas red in a Valoriani oven at 700 degrees. is pizzeria o ers only small 12-inch pies, and a Margherita costs $16 (which, when sized up to an 18-inch large, costs about $36 according to Roar calculations). ey o er 14 pizzas and 18 topping options on their website, as well as a custom vegan crust. Vegan cheese, however, is currently unavailable.

e slices, while petite, exploded in avor. e cheese was incredibly rich and lling, and the crust was soft and pu y while still providing a crunchy snap with each bite. e tomato sauce was a tad salty, though, and the thicker crust piled with red sauce and fatty cheese was a bit too heavy for my tastes.

Town Pizza dishes out an incredible selection with its six regular pizzas, 10 gourmet varieties and up to three topping options. At $14.99 for an enormous 19-inch cheese, this joint o ers an amazing bargain — perfect for a fun outing with friends.

Each slice possessed the perfect degree of greasy cheesiness, which was quite the guilty indulgence. At the base was the classic New York-style thin crust. e sauce was a delightful middle ground between chunky and creamy, and the crust had a satisfying crunch while still being exible. Even at an approachable price, the avor marriage of the crust, sauce and cheese exceeded my expectations.

Sweet Tomatoes truly is sweet, with a caring owner who treats customers like close friends. A large 18-inch pizza cost $19.95. eir website boasts a whopping 17 specialty pizzas, and they o er vegan cheese at all locations and two types of gluten-free crust.

The pizza itself is tantalizing, with chunky tomato sauce and a thin, crispy crust. While the structural integrity of each slice is slightly wobbly (you should plan to have a few napkins at your disposal), everything piled on top is a utopia for the tastebuds. e warm cheese stretches into thread-thin strings, and the avors of each individual ingredient work together in wondrous harmony.
