Stone Hearth Pizza in Needham,MA. Is this a Hit or Miss?

I have to tell you about the best non food chain pizza place I have ever went too and that is Stone Hearth Pizza in the heart of Needham Center. Its located on Great Plain Ave next to Dedham Avenue.

If you have gluten allerigies like my friend in whom I was dining with, this is the place for you. Their extensive Gluten Free menu will leave your taste buds wanting more.
We started out with the Poppers Appetizer which were Stuffed Meatballs in this homemade tomato basil sauce. YUM. I wanted to get another order. Then for lunch we both ordered the Homemade Sausage and Caramelized Onion Pizza. YUM x2! My friend was very happy that any of the pizza toppings could be put on the Gluten Free Crust. You can tell they made everything from scratch and all the pizza's are made in a Brick oven. If you like crispy crust, add Stone Hearth Pizza to your Friday Night Pizza List.

I also need to mention their homemade Iced Teas that were delicious. I wish they served distilled spirits because the Boisin Berry Iced Tea would taste excellent with Vodka. They also sell beer and wine.

Don't skip out on the dessert! I ordered the Gluten Free Brownie Sundae and my friend ordered the GF Cookies. I bet if no one told you they were GF, you would never know; thats how great they tasted. My friend wanted to order 5 dz of them to take home and put into her cookie jar. Also my brownie tasted like an ordinary Brownie eventhough it was gluten free.

Price: For an Appetizer, Entree and Dessert for 2 people was around $35.00-$40

Location: Easy to get too from Rt. 128 exits 17 or 18

Atmosphere: Elegant and Quaint

Hit or Miss: This is a definate Hit and I will be returning with friends or colleagues.

Domino's New Pizza

Domino's Pizza has spent millions of dollars trying to perfect the their pizza. People were simply buying other pizza because of the crust, sauce and toppings. For me, I haven't ordered Domino's in six years before being curious about what they did to perfect their pizza.

So,while watching the amazing Arizona/ Packers football game Domino's was running an ad on TV; 2 Medium 2Topping Pizza's for $5.99 each so I ordered and this is what I found.

Warning: This is not the pizza for you if you don't like Garlic. Domino's now puts on a Garlic Parmesan Butter over the Crust. Ask them for the Garlic butter on the side if your not a fan. It is delicious if you do like garlic but beware of the after breathe. If I were you, I wouldn't kiss anyone after eating this Pizza. A roll of paper towels by your plate will be needed to wipe the grease from your hands. Also, the sauce is thick and herby. I thought it was too much sauce which over powered the pizza with the combination of garlic butter. As for the toppings, they were there but with everything else going on, I didn't notice them.

My family will continue to order from Papa John's Pizza when we don't want to make our own pizza's from the grill because they truly have "Better Ingredients and Better Pizza". I encourage you to try Domino's Pizza for yourself to form your own opinion.
