Sudbury Pizza Place — Restaurant in Sudbury

I'm not from Sudbury, but my girlfriend lives there so sometimes we eat there. My last to go order was a nightmare. I called in fot a chicken tender dinner w/ onion rings instead of fries, a garden salad w/grilled chicken and a side Greek salad. Using the online menu I estimated about $20 with taxes more or less. When I got ther it was over $25, so I grabbed a menu to see how I could be so off. What they in fact did was charge me for a full order of onion rings (which in all fairness they made) and they charged me their new updated pricing which the have failed to post online. It's not the 5 or 6 dollars that fires me up, it's the feeling of being cheated and the absolute blank stares I received when I pointed both mistakes (their mistakes) out. The lady at the register seemed far more interested in holding on to a few dollars than correcting the situation and offered nothing to resolve my annoyance. I also learned that a side Greek salad is just a Greek salad, there are no options, one size fits all.

Then, 3 different times I wound up removing gross, cartilage riddled pieces of chicken from my mouth while eating my salad.

I can honestly say that while my girlfriend claims they have good pizza, I'll never spend another dollar in that place as I felt cheated and there are so many places vying for business. What's truly sad is that I want to support local business & and I am extremely loyal to a place that is honest; I didn't even get a "sorry about that," never mind an offer to honor the pricing they posted online or a refund for a side order I didn't order. I just got to eat my meal the entire time feeling cheated. If there wasn't a hungry, impatient child I would have demanded a full refund and left the entire meal there--deceptive & unethical is how I would describe that business...

Sadly, the pizza is fairly mediocre. I say sadly because I really wanted to like this place--it's the quintessential local pizza place, and it's clear that they're active in the community from all the plaques ans photos they have of local high school sports teams they sponsor.

The pizza does have a nice lightness to it (not overwhelmingly heavy), but the slice falls apart when you pick it up. The sauce doesn't have much flavor or punch, and the cheese was decent but nothing special. I found the topping choices a bit questionable (broccoli on a veggie pizza?). If the pizza was better it'd be a decent value ($14 for a large veggie pizza), but it honestly feels overpriced when I can get a Papa John's large veggie pizza for a few bucks less and it'll taste better. For what it's worth, my companion did enjoy the pizza much more than I did.

Honestly, the pizza is 3/5 quality, but I'm adding another star because this place embodies exactly what a local pizza place should have in terms of ambience, simplicity, and community involvement. It just needs...

this is THE Sudbury pizza shop.. meaning, this is where the locals go for pizza, subs, etc. the interior is admittedly a bit rough and could use a refresh. but the food is always great and the staff is ALWAYS happy to see you no matter if it's your first time in or the thousandth time by. I've learned about this joint during work as a driver for door dash so I've been thru a lot!👍. every city/town has their "local spot" that has pics of the highschool sports teams adorning the walls and even a trophy or two on the shelf. this, is THAT PLACE. So if you're looking for "upscale" or "bougie", this isn't what you're looking for. BUT, if you want quality food with a warm welcome every time you order, SUDBURY PIZZA PLACE is the PLACE FOR YOU! FEEL FREE TO TELL 'EM MCGILLICUDDY SENT YOU BY. They may or may not recognize my name, but I'm SURE they recognize the Door Dash guy that comes by with his mother from time to...
