Boston Restaurant Blog -- February, 2010

I have been to Town Spa Pizza in Stoughton several times over the years, and like more than a few people, I felt like their bar pizza started going downhill after being considered one of the best south of Boston for a long time. Well, the quality may actually be back, as a few of us did a takeout order of several of their pizzas about a week ago, and it was some of the best bar pizza that I've had in a long time.

With our recent order of Town Spa bar pies, we mostly stuck to simple toppings (which is a good thing to do when you're talking about bar pizza), and both the plain pizza and the pepperoni pizza were nearly perfect, with a greasy mix of golden brown cheese on top that extended all the way to the edge of the slightly oily and bendable crust, and a zesty, rich sauce that wasn't loaded too heavily on the pizza as to overwhelm the taste of the cheese or crust. As is the case with typical bar pies, the pizzas were small, making it easy to finish a whole one (and then some) individually.

It is possible that we just hit Town Spa on a good night, but I'll go with the benefit of the doubt and say that this probably isn't the case, especially since I have heard from a few people that their pizza does seem to be up there in quality once again. I'm not sure it's quite at the level of the Lynwood Cafe in Randolph (often considered the best of the best for bar pizza), but the pies we had the other night really didn't seem all that far behind.

If you would like the address for Town Spa Pizza, here it is: Town Spa Pizza, 1119 Washington Street (Route 138), Stoughton, MA 02072. The phone number is (781) 344-2030.

I would have to agree with you. I ordered a pizza from there about two weeks ago, and it was the best pizza I have had in a long time. So much so, I commented to everyone I know. I am in the mood for one again after reading your post! :)

Town Spa has never gone downhill, IMHO, pizza always great, best greek salads and Yellow Tail Shiraz still under $20/bottle - this place rocks!

Town Spa will never be what it was when it was in its original location on Stoughton Center. They moved to a conveyor belt oven at the 138 location at some point over the last 5-7 years. Often times I get a pizza, and it tastes like they pulled a frozen one out of the takeout area and put it in the conveyor belt. The pizza was often undercooked and had a mushy crust. Because the pizza went so far downhill, I stopped going and made the extra drive to Lynnwood in Randolph. Town Spa does have the best french fries around.
