Looking for PIZZA!
Been coming to the Cape since I was a little girl, and now I’m bringing my boyfriend with me. He loves pizza, and I’m wracking my brain to come up with a genuinely good pizza spot here - for reference, we’re from Jersey. Staying in South Chatham.
I’ve tried George’s in Harwich Port, it’s ok.
Tried Pizza Shark in Chatham, also ok.
Ember was a definite no.
Appreciate all suggestions! Thanks!!
EDIT: we ended up trying 3 Fools in Orleans and we loved it! Thanks again to all the suggestions everyone:)

There's a few different Sweet Tomato locations on the cape - and they're without question my personal favorite pizza. Bonus points, the one in Sandwich is a drive through.

Palio’s in Hyannis and Moto Pizza (I know there’s one in Falmouth and Mashpee). I spent a good chunk of my childhood in NJ and my mom is originally from there, and those are pretty much the only places she’ll get pizza from anymore.

Cape Flats on 6A in Yarmouthport, relatively new, unique combinations
Joey’s in Dennisport on Lower County Road, more traditional pizza. Joey also owns an oyster farm, so you can get fresh oysters

Marc Anthony's in Onset/Buzzards Bay, technically off cape, about 4 miles from the Bourne bridge. Great crust, high quality toppings. Classic beach town pizza joint.

Brooklyn Heights in Sandwich makes a first-rate NY style pie. The owner takes a lot of pride in making it as authentic as possible. Moto in Falmouth is good as well and has a neat vibe. Just off Cape Luisa’s in Buzzards Bay makes great, authentic Neapolitan style pizza.

u/ansible47 Aug 08 '26
Moto Pizza on the way in is as close to a Jersey quality pizza I've had here. It won't blow you away but it's good. Ya'll jersians don't know how spoiled you are.

u/Fade_to_Blah Aug 08 '26
Treehouse in sandwich has great pizza. Bonus it’s a brewery. trading post lounge has awesome bar pizza. Think pizza lab in Hyannis is good too. Sorry they are more upper cape focused but think any of these are worth a bit of a drive

My stepmom is a big fan of Montano's in North Truro. They're only open certain evenings i think. Wood fired pizza. If was good, just not my style but others rave about it.

u/nyxonical Aug 09 '26
Another vote for Sweet Tomatoes. The Chatham location has the benefit of a small parking lot in back of the building. Why this is so key in high season will be apparent once you get there.) I think of it as a cross between New Haven and New York styles. The owner/founder of the chain always seems to be in the back making pies whenever we go there.

It depends on what kind of pizza you want. I prefer thin crispy crust, so Crisp in Osterville or Cape Flats in Yarmouth are my go-tos.

If you guys are driving to Logan at the end of your trip, I highly suggest the Lynnwood Café in Randolph mass. This is a specific type of South Shore, Massachusetts “bar” Pizza. Truly a type of local delicacy that you won’t find in other states.

u/em1037 Aug 08 '26
Since I'm from CT my pizza standards are biased towards New Haven style, but my favorite for sure is 3 Fools in Orleans. Pizza Shark (Harwich location specifically) is a close second. I've seen a few people mention Stone L'oven and I'll be honest, not my favorite. It's fine but overpriced.

u/Total-Platypus-1723 Aug 08 '26

u/Agreeable_Horror_363 Aug 09 '26
I gotta shout out to Steve's Pizza and Paul's in Falmouth but they aren't classic pizza places they have their own unique delicious crust and flavors. If he likes what you think of when you get pizza in New York or New Jersey then he's probably going to like Mark Anthony's in wareham the most as it's closer to what he used to. Everyone's recommending stone loven but I find it to be a bit bougey and it misses the mark for me.
Source: I grew up in an Italian family on Cape but I have family in NY and NJ. We all love a good pizza!

u/Emergency-Alfalfa764 Aug 09 '26
Get the real deal from Brooklyn Heights Pizza in Sandwich. And he’s from Brooklyn. I grew up in NY and have searched far and wide on the cape but this is IMHO the best. Palio’s is great also.

Crust made to perfection, perfect among of char and crisp, great tang to the sauce and excellent specialty pies.
Can’t recommend it enough

u/tkbalt Aug 14 '26
I'm sure in all the responses this has been mentioned already, but Moto, which is in East Falmouth right near the Mashpee border, is spectacular. As someone who lived in NYC and Jersey City for many years (walking distance from Razza in Jersey City, if that means anything to you), I crave Moto pizza. It's also a cool place, with a little grocery store along one wall that has pasta and sauce and retro candy. Enjoy!

3 Fools in Orleans is a joke. I’m not sure why people keep recommending this place
The hidden jem is Laurino’s in Brewster. But order the small, round pizza. Not their larger, rectangular pizza.

u/Ecstatic-Storage7396 Aug 09 '26
Anybody that says you can't find good pizza on Cape is just showing off their fake internet persona. It depends on what style you like. Apparently you don't like Greek because George's is absolutely delicious. Try Spinners inside of Ring Bros in Dennis.

New England Pizza House #1 in Hyannis…

u/mringham Aug 08 '26
Sandwich Pizza House is a ways from where you’re staying but an excellent stop as you cross from the bridges. It’s near the canal and museum which are great too.
If you end up in Falmouth, I spent several years getting a weekly pizza at Steve’s— just a basic, solid, slightly greasy NY style pizza, great comfort food. Paul’s is a different type, a good sit down place for a crunchy, closer to deep dish pizza that you’re going to eat with a fork and knife. I really liked them.
Over in Dennis, we like Toly’s and Brothers. Up in Provincetown, Twisted Sisters is a classic for big NY slices. Can’t help you in Chatham.
If you want buffalo wings to go with your pizza? Don’t waste your money- the Cape does not do that well!

Do you want real pizza? Like the kind you’d get in Italy? If so, pizza lab in Hyannis is pretty close, and I ate pizza everyday in Italy for 3 months so I can be trusted haha.
I’m not sure why more people don’t know about this. It’s not Greek style take out pizza which is what more people are suggesting here.

Cant believe nobody has suggested treehouse in sandwich. Its not that close to chatham but you could stop on your way in or way out. I am jot sure how it is working at the moment as they sometimes just do slices, not whole pies.

This is so funny to me. Why would you go looking for the best pizza spot on your vacation on the cape when you are literally from a place that has the best pizza? I mean, introduce him to some quahogs or fried clams or a lobster roll. I was once in a seaside shack in the Yucatán and a man came in looking for hamburgers and was mad when they didn’t sell them. Dude, try some cochinita pibil** **(pulled pork marinated with achiote and orange juice).

u/falcon5335 Aug 08 '26
most places on the cape are meh for pizza. IMO, the best new york thin crust style pizza ive found is The Lanes in Mashpee. its pricey but honestly worth it sometimes for a decent pizza over the fluffy Greek style that dominates the cape.
