Task 30 – D&A Pizza (Newton, MA)

(30) Eat in 10 New Restaurants (20/20)

Restaurant: D&A Pizza

Rating: 2 Stars
The interior of D&A was a throwback to the 90's with the quarter-sawn wood trim. The menu board was small and incomplete (given people were ordering pizza by the slice but it was not listed anywhere) and everything seemed to be pretty much the same price. Half the seating area was swallowed by an enormous fridge for over-priced beverages and the trash station. While I do understand that this is a pizza shop with a large take out business and not fine dining I expect a clean and inviting environment.

Much like the interior of D&A the pizza leaves a lot to be desired. While you might expect an Italian style pizza in 'the lake' area of Newton I was surprised to find a Greek style pizza instead. I am generally a fan of a good Greek style pizza, and visually it looked appealing, but D&A missed the mark. The pizza didn't leave me wanting for more even though the portion size was less the generous and I was still mildly hungry after. What it lacked in size and cheese it made up for with grease and an over cooked crust.

More disappointing then the quality of the pizza was the price. It cost$10.99 for a roughly 12 inch pizza and an additional $2.00 per 20oz soda. Total bill was $16.00 for 2. I definitely will not be returning for a pizza again.
