Charlie's On Main pizza — Restaurant in Stoneham

BEST PIZZA PLACE IN MASSACHUSETTS HANDS DOWN 💯

( Thanks for coming to Stoneham )

This is by far some of the best pizza I have had in a very, very long time and I'm a complete foodie. I don't buy junk food ever I decides to give this place a try that I seen opened a new location near my house. I was so impressed with the pizza I called the restrauant back to give them a verbal review as well letting them know this is some of the best pizza I have had in a long time witch I had never called a restaurant back once in my life and told them that. This is how impressed I was with the pizza I received. I have been to every pizza place in a 25 mile radius from Stoneham Ma and they pretty much suck I haven't had a great pizza in such a long time since living here I'm just so happy I found this spot this will now be my go to spot for top notch pizza. I ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza with red onion / bacon / ranch every ingredient was completely fresh with was amazing to see you name a pizza place any where in Massachusetts and I have been there and this pizza I got from this Charlie's on main street pizza shop was legit in the top 2 pizza places I have eating at and I'm a very picky eater and a very hard Critic so I'll let you know If your food sucked. If you live in stoneham mass and have eating pizza from Angelo's Pizzeria & Ristorante this is 2x better I believe. No other pizza place in stoneham can even compete with the pizzas they are making at Charlie's on main. I'm just completely impressed and I never give people reviews so you obviously did something I like. This is my number 1 go to spot for pizza now and...

At first, I was a little skeptical. There was no way a place could have a 4.9-star rating with over 600 reviews—it was too good to be true. I have never been so happy to be proven wrong!

First, let me tell you about the atmosphere (the food is incredible but we will get to that in a minute). If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you walked onto the set of Cheers, this is the place. Charlie, the owner, welcomed every single person who called or walked through the door as if he had known them forever. It was my first time there, and even I found myself smiling ear to ear, caught up in the buzz. His energy was contagious, exuding warmth and a sense of welcome that’s hard to find anywhere else. He was incredibly kind and sweet, and even though he was doing the work of an entire staff, his engagement with everyone never wavered.

The gentleman manning the oven was a hoot as well! He was just as friendly and engaging with customers as Charlie.

Now, let’s get to the food - WOW! First, my son - who is the pickiest eater ever - fought his brother over the chicken tenders and French Fries. I only meant to try one but ended up eating three! (We got an adult-sized portion to share, and it was a ton of food.) The pizza? Amazing! I’ve worked in more pizza places than I care to admit, and this was one of the best I’ve had in a while.

I wish we lived closer because this would absolutely be our go-to spot for pizza and movie night. I know it’s cheesy (pun totally intended) to say a place is magical, but it truly is.

Charlie - keep doing what you’re doing. I couldn’t have been more...

I stopped in after work and a pittstop to Play It Again Sports next door, because I was hungry and it looked inviting and quaint. Plus I saw "soup" on the window and it was freezing out!!! A hand written sign at the counter for "BEEF STEW" caught my eye and I was immediately sold. I didn't even hesitate -I'm a sucker for a good beef stew. I was told by the woman who took my order it was a good choice and they JUST made it. 😁

Oddly enough it was not a typical "beef broth" (aka brown) but a "white" presumably vegetable base, which I've never even thought to make on my own but now I'm intent on trying to replicate! It really was perfect. No preservatives or "generic" tastes you get with some of the vat-like soups or stews some restaurants dole out (no offense everyone else!).

This was made "with love" but also with quality ingredients FOR SURE.

It seems crazy to say and I RARELY write reviews but I also had the BEST experience while just grabbing a quick bite solo! This family business sure knows how to not only make amazing food, but they are super friendly and inviting, and I will DEFINITELY be back!

I don't even live anywhere nearby but it's 2 minutes off the highway on my long trek home from "Medfah" to NH. So when I'm too hungry and tired to drive all the way home then cook, I now have a new spot to call my hunger home, in Stoneham. ❤️

Thanks again Charlie! I usually keep to myself but I loved chatting with you! 😁 Your enthusiasm, smile and solid people skills are outstanding, and your beef stew also...
