Auntie Dot’s Pizza

Nice lady working the restaurant. Pizza was average at best. Must be better pizza in Worcester area.

Maybe 4 stars is too much if you expect regular pizza place. But for what this place looks like it is just fair (because I cannot give 3.5). I probably wouldn’t buy a pizza from here if I passed by. It looks too, hmm, simple. I called in, all I wanted mushroom pizza, but she said no mushroom today. She has meat stuff. I decided only olives on my small pizza. The pizza was 7 $. I came to work and started eating it. All I can say is that it tastes like the pizza I make at home, except my dough would not have oil much. The sauce is good. It is thin crust pizza. Would I drive there to get another one, i don’t think so. But I am glad I tried it.

The only place I’ll ever go from now on. The sauce is just like my Nana’s. The crust is heavenly!

Excellent homemade dough and sauce make for a great pizza. Small, family run business…
Meatballs are delicious, also.

5 stars for being the best pizza I have had thus far in Worcester. $ 8 got me a medium which as about 13″ or so and was a combo (hamburger, pepperoni, onions).
Only positive things to say about the pie itself. Extremely crispy, airy, just oily enough crust that is full of complex, toasted flavors. High, but perfect amount of cheese with nice mozzarella taste. Hamburger, pepperoni and onions were plentiful and the tomato sauce was fresh.
This reminds me more of the Italian style pizzas I get where I grew up in Western Massachusetts. The crust itself is worth $ 8 nevermind the delicious and ample toppings.
As the other reviews have stated, it is a very small unassuming shop on Grafton street and run solely by a pleasant lady. The hours on the door as of today were Tues-​Sat open until 9PM. This place deserves a lot more recognition and beats any pizza I have had in Worcester (including ones that are priced more than 2x than this).

Walking into this place nearly brought tears to my eyes. Not so much for what the place looks like but a) the owner would remind any Italian of their mother or grandmother, b) somebody gave this place four stars, and c) it is by far, hands down, no question about it, the BEST PIZZA IN WORCESTER.
It is not overly cheesy, not greasy, has a nice semolina crust, and is shockingly like the tomato pie my wife and I grew up having as children. As my wife said, this pizza’s greatness is in it’s shocking simplicity.
Before you call a chain, call Auntie Dot’s. Cash only, but it is worth EVERY penny.

First time having pizza from here and it was truly amazing. The perfect balance of pepperoni, cheese, and dough. The sauce tastes soooo good. This pizza tasted a lot more than the $ 14 i paid for it.
I will definitely be back here.

#25 on the Worcester Pizza Quest
Being next on the list was Auntie Dots. We called to make the order and a pleasant woman answered the phone and took the order, so far a plus. Not knowing where this place is I typed it into the GPS and drove away. Having been on Grafton Street many times I had noticed this place before but never thought much of it. Looking at the building it is run down and a bit intimidating. The building gave me a bad feeling. At the door was a sheet of paper showing the hours from I think 5:00pm to 9:00pm also not seeing this as a good sign.
Walking in you notice a rundown restaurant but clean. A smiling older woman greeted me at the door and asked if I needed help. I told her I called, smiling she said your pizza is just about ready. I paid for the Pie it was a reasonable priced. Then she went to the oven and she happily said it’s done.
I was able to watch her take out the pizza i noticed it was in a rectangle 1 inch side baking pan. Thinking this is very unusual because most pizza is round. I began thinking about the old exterior and short daily hours, oh this pizza is going to be like school pan pizza. I was not looking forward to this.
While driving home the shockingly the pizza smelled great nice spicy sweet smell. I finally got it home and opened the box, ready to try the rectangle pizza. I grabbed a corner slice and noticed the firm crisp crust. Taking a bite one notices the crisp sound of the crust crackling and your tongue tastes a delicious buttery flavor. The sauce had a wonderful old world flavor like something from an experienced grandmother’s expert cooking. The cheese adds that perfect touch. When eating I was shocked that this is a great pizza from an unknown location. Every one raved at how flavorful this pizza was.
Aunties Dots pizza would be the way I would expect a great Italian mother would cook. This place deserves notice and I hope others will take the chance of trying this pizza. Please do not let the looks scare you away. Auntie Dots is a Worcester Gem I was lucky to have found. I cannot wait to go again.
Thank you Auntie Dots I wish you were my aunt :)
P.S.
We did have a couple slices left and had it the next day. Still great! We were sad to watch it disappear.
