The Original Ronny's Place — Restaurant in Medford

I've NEVA in My 30 Plus yrs of Ordering In Medford nd Somerville , Felt Like I've been Out rite DisRespected nd Lied To Ova A Measly $12 Sub. We've ordered from Ronnie's Place Atleast Twice a WK since We've moved back to Medford , Which we spend Between $70 to $80 a week. We Ordered Tonite , 3 Subs nd Fries , 1 Italian , I Chick Parm , 1 MeatBall. They inturn send US A Dry Looking Steak N Cheese instead of The MeatBall We Ordered , Howeva They also Screwed up the " Italian " by Not Putting Any Pickles or Lettuce. Now Keep in Mind , In My 30 Plus yrs of Ordering , Leones , Mama Lisa's, Victors , Bob's , Lacarcia 's , Avellino's , Etc I Probably had to call nd Complain about Order being Wrong , Maybe a Half Dozen times , If that. I called Ron , The Nice Woman , Put US on Hold just So Captain Ron can get on Phone nd Argue wit A Customer , Which We all Kno in this Buss The Customer is always Rite!!! We offered to take Pics of the Not So Italian Sub , nd He already Knew about the Wrong Sub wit the Dry Steak N Cheese , for the MeatBall Sub , So Captain Ron Stated that He will bring the " MEATBALL " nd Don't U Worry Cause The Tight Leader that Ron is will put a Lil Pickle on the side for the Italian that We Now will have sitting out for another hour as We Wait. Instead " CAPTAIN RON " Didn't send a thing , nd Tried to just Close Up Shop nd To Just BEAT ME Out Rite , nd Send US ZERO , NOTTA , ZILCh. Instead Beating me nd my guest Out of a lousy $12. Well , CAPTAiN Ron , I can Honestly Say that I BELIEVE that If UR Buss is to SERV the PUBlIC , Well I'm Sorry To Say that U Failed Miserables. Thank U for Screwing Up...

I originally thought I was ordering from a different pizza place a couple of weeks back — a pleasant mistake to make in this case. I ordered three items: a spinach and cheese calzone, a cheese pizza and a set of mozzarella sticks.

The calzone, filled with spinach, garlic and mozzarella, was less to my liking than my wife’s. I would have preferred some ricotta cheese there, but she preferred it without. The pizza was more to my liking than my wife’s, as it reminded me of very good thin crust Boston-style pizza from decades ago but she prefers a thicker crust. The mozzarella sticks were generally well received.

When talking with my manager today, who grew up in the greater Boston area, she mentioned how she missed good, flexible, really thin crust pizza as a default; I brought up the pizza from Ronny’s, describing the pizza from my order, and she said it sounded good. I expect she’ll enjoy it.

It’s not a be-all-and-end-all restaurant, but the service and food seem tasty and reliable. All told, they’re a worthwhile local restaurant to have, and a place I plan to get...

The cheese pizza was EXCELLENT. Cheese pizza is my go-to for determining whether to try anything else on the menu of a pizza place. Every aspect of the pizza was phenomenal from the dough/crust, to the taste and amount of cheese and sauce. I was able to fold the slice without it breaking or flopping over, and there was no unnecessary cornmeal on the bottom of the pie or orange oil dripping from the pizza. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and this pie took me back to the pizza joint I practically lived in near Cropsey. This is also all based on a lukewarm pie that I picked up and ate at home. I can only imagine what it would have been like if I had eaten straight out of the oven. I also ordered wings which were also fantastic. They were decent sized wings with plenty of meat on the bone and cooked to perfection. This is definitely my new go-to pizza...
