Any reports on Stone Hearth Pizza, Cambridge?

close by, pinocchio tomato basil is good. I don't love their regular because they put garlic in the cheese pizza. Regina in town , but 1 of 4 times its off. 20 years ago santarpios, not today. sally's cheese , white clam from pepes ( crust isnt awesome though), luzzos and U.P.N. in the village.
Camb 1 is one of the worst, and iv'e given it 3 tries. it is like pita warmed with cooked ingredients thrown on, cheese doesnt even melt, sauce is pre cooked and slapped on. Like a dorm room creation.

Angela's coal fired pizza openig second location?

Dining in general downhill due to economy?

Those that cut corners might not be around. People are more understanding of food now, vs the 70's ( I hope). Smaller portions won't cut it either. All the funny money is gone, is down to brass tax now..lets see what happens. I hope the good ones stay around!!

Any reports on Stone Hearth Pizza, Cambridge?

Its just barely Ok in my book. I honestly think it wont be there longer that a year or two. ( I should't say that because camb. 1 is one of THE WORST pizza I ever ate and look a that place ) .Maybe thats why they are coming to anything goes cambridge. They should have gone to the square.

Takeout fresh gnocchi?

Dominic's in Waltham has real handmade gnocci for take-out. They have cavatelli too, but make sure you ask for gnocchi. You have to wait for them to make them but they are good.
