What People Are Saying About Lynwood Cafe

In Short – This longtime South Shore favorite sees families and couples sit shoulder-to-shoulder in wooden booths while kids gather around the jukebox. In the back, older locals sip cocktails on stools at a tiny, diner-like bar while watching sports. Wood paneled walls, reminiscent of the '70s, make the room seem dark at night. Only thin-crust pizza is served, and with the exception of fresh hamburger chunks and Linguica (Portuguese sausage that's spicier than pepperoni), toppings are standard.

Lynwood Bar

I've heard that the Linwood can be busy at times and it takes about 35 minutes for a pizza. I can accept that. That's unavoidable when people like your pizza and you have the regulars who come in to hang out, have a pizza and drink a few brews. Heard the parking can be kind of tight and I can accept that, too. However rude waitstaff is not okay and the Lynwood owners need to do something about that. There's just no excuse for an employee being rude when you walk in the door and ask them where to pick up the pizzas. I've never been there before and wasn't sure. You would have thought I asked this woman for a million bucks. Geez, sorry I bothered you with a question that you found stupid. Needless to say I won't be returning to the Lynwood since I don't have to put up with a b*tchy attitude from a snotty employee when I'm spending $50. on pizzas. Thought I'd treat my family to several different pizzas since I had heard their pizza was good. Next time that happens it won't be Lynwood pizza. It's not okay that rude people work at the Lynwood. The proprietors should get rid of people who are miserable and take it out on customers. If they can't handle the job they should find something else to do.
- Pros: Pizza is good
- Cons: waitstaff rude

Pizza heaven

I grew up on Lynnwood pizza my Grandparents used to own nthe little store across the street and my folks always bought take out pizza , I always went with my Dad to pick it up and on the way home we used to burn our mouths because we could not resist the smell . Even now my mouth is watering just remembering the best pizza in the world . My Aunt Audrey and Uncle Jack always brought some frozen pizza's when they came to visit us in California / or Seattle because they know how much I crave them . What a treat , I looked forward to those pizza's almost as much as their visit , and of course that is the first place and last place I visit when I'm back home on a trip . Look out Lynwood I'm bringing the family in mid October and I'm going to feast on the best pizza in the world . I always say it is the crust that makes the big difference but the sauce is just right and the right amount of toppings ( just got to try the baked bean one also) plain cheese and onion are my fav's. we are bringing the 4th generation to the Lynwood for pizza and Lucas Jack loves to eat! bet he'll love the pizza just like his Great Uncle for whom he is named
- Pros: best pizza ever anywhere
- Cons: too far from Seattle

Great Pizza, great price

The Lynwood "since 1949" has the tastiest little pizza's around. Being from Quincy, I've had Dee Dees, Alumni and Town Spa, all good but not as good. The atmosphere is gritty and dated (1949), but it grows on you the more you go. Love the brusk wait staff, especially when I try to order a microbrew. Put the same staff and attitude at Faneuil Hall and they would make millions.
- Pros: Tastiest little pizzas around
- Cons: none
