Phantom says whoever invented the phrase "do one thing and do it right" must have had the pizza at the Lynwood Café in Randolph, Massachusetts.


Best Bet:Salami and Hamburg Pizza 87

Date : 3/4/2000
Rating: Gourmet Greatness


Food and Drink: 10
Classic single-deck ovens serve ten inch pies with thin, light, and perfectly baked crust. The sauce was wonderfully consistent, topped with a creamy cheese blend baked to a golden brown. Vegetable toppings like mushrooms and peppers were fresh, as were spicy pepperoni and anchovies packed with flavor. Wash it all down with cold draught beer or Paul Masson wine.

Appetizers: N/A

Menu: 8
You can choose from eight different pizza toppings or any combination thereof. Classic toppings are available, as well as some original house specialties. No credit cards. Cash only.

Portions: 8
The one size ten-inch pie was enough to fill a hungry Phantom. Toppings were piled generously.

Service: 9
Efficient and friendly, not to mention fast-paced. Orders are taken right away, and drinks are delivered quickly.

Atmosphere: 10
It's a neighborhood family restaurant with wood-paneled walls and classic linoleum tiled floors. A small bar sits among the dozen or so tables that make up the dining area. Lots of take-out traffic provides an energetic buzz to this 50's throwback.

Cleanliness: 9
Everything may be a little old, but at least it's clean and old. Bathrooms are tidy considering the high volume of use.

Desserts: N/A

Location and Parking: 8
Center Street, Randolph. Plenty of parking in a large lot located within an easily found Randolph neighborhood.

Value: 10
Ten-inch cheese pizzas are $5, and the most expensive pie is $7 for the House Special. The prices, like almost everything else in this blast from the past, haven't changed since the 50's.

I think the best pizza they have is the "SPECIAL". It is really popular, you usually have about 55 to 75 min wait to pick up your take out orders.
