Pizza Lab by Pain d'Avignon — Restaurant in Barnstable

Happy to finally get a chance to try Pizza Lab, we arrived later than we had hoped because of heavy traffic resulting in a five hour and 30 minute drive. Taking a few minutes to check in to our hotel we went straight to the restaurant at 8:45 with time to spare considering the recent email I had received and their website details, both of which indicated a 10 PM closing time. Policy indicated no reservations for parties under 6. We are two. On arriving we chose a seat and were directed to what the very pleasant waitress indicated was a better option. As we were looking at the menu another waitress came over to inform us that the kitchen would close at 9. Surprised by this I said but your email and website say 10. She replied, pointing to the door,, "We changed our hours - it's on the door." We quickly ordered - my husband requesting a meatball pizza. He was told they couldn't make a meatball pizza because meatballs are on the menu as a separate item! A bit confused he chose the Calabria (prosciutto, sausage, and bacon among other toppings) and I chose the Amalfi (pistachio stracciatella and crispy prosciutto). Both were delicious though not crispy as many reviewers report and a bit salty (also as previously reviewed). Also to note, we were told the bar would also close at 9. Advice would be to call ahead to see what closing time they wrote on the door and you can enjoy an interesting take on pizza from a...

Nestled in the parking lot by Pain d'Avignon, you will find the best Neapolitan pizza on Cape Cod.

Pizza Lab uses a woodfired pizza oven that is surrounded by a bar where you can dine and watch your food be made in real time. Their other seating options are the regular bar or tables.

The crust on their pizzas is perfectly blackened with just the right amount of chew. The sauce is flavorful without being too much to where it overpowers the toppings and cheese. One pizza serves two people, so order a few different pies if your party is bigger and try out all the great options!

One of my favorite things on the menu are the woodfired wings- YUM DOT COM!! I am also a big fan of the lasagna- it tastes homemade and oh-so-cozy like an Italian mama put her heart and soul in it. As for the pizza- my favorite is the Amalfi.

Best pizza I had on the cape. Read the bad reviews, they even admit the pizza is excellent.

A trendy and hip pizza place for adults to escape to. After being on the cape for a month, you get tired of the same old fare and food. This place was more cutting edge and would not be somewhere to take your kids to. Sure getting take out is fine.

This is Neapolitan style pizza, very doughy and a little bit of a burnt crust. Some people aren't fans of this style, but it is certainly my favorite. We asked them which pizza we should get and at their suggestion they made us a half quattro formagio and half Calabria pizza. We also had their Mediterranean salad. All were very good and had amazing quality ingredients. It was also fun to watch them make the pizza right there in front of you.

This is good for a small group or a date. Something fun new and hip to enjoy. Certainly the beet place we had pizza on the cape. Bottom line go if you are into Neapolitan style pizza and a...
