Went to Molinaris for lunch today and it was great. I had the meatball sandwich and my friend had the chicken parm sandwich. We split the calamari Very impressed. Great quality food. Friendly staff and nice environment. Will definitely be going back. read more

Worst customer service ever. Don't even waste your time with these jokers. I was trying to order a pepperoni pizza and was waiting on the phone listening to all the other orders and people paying. Then finally this guy picked up the phone said Molinari's and then then I said hello but he hung up. So I called back and the same guy that had just hung up on me answered and he said hold on but I said you just hung up on me and he denied it. But still told me to hold on. I just hung up on them and odered elsewhere. If he had said sorry about that and not argued with me I would have ordered from him. I might have even waited another 10 min on the phone but since he denied it I just hung up! I called at 5:37pm on Nov 10, 2018. read more

The meatballs are a must try! And the sauce! This is my new favorite pizza place only right down the street! : ) read more

Great food. I love the pizza and the fresh bread. Also they have the best chicken piccata..

This is my absolute new favorite restaurant! It feels like you are in one of the small North End Italian eateries. If you can sit at one of the few seats at the bar you will see some amazing meal preparations, the chefs are like machines putting out amazing tasty dishes. I love that a lot if their fresh ingredients come from local Ward's Farm (Sharon MA). I have had two out-of-town guest rave about this restaurant, still talking about coming back to have more amazing meals at this restaurant. They are preparing to expand into the neighboring vacant business. I can't wait to see how they orchestrate the set up and hope they don't loose the current charm and awesome meals. The owners are extremely involved in all facets of the business. They do fairly large amount of take out so prepare to leisurely dine, come to relax & enjoy as everything is homemade! No full bar only beer & wine. read more

I really wanted to like this place however unfortunately I did not have a good meal. I ordered the Bolognese and it tasted like Chef Boyardee. I heard great things about Molinari's so maybe it was an off night or I just didn't pick the right meal read more

Delicious! Has become our go to Italian food. Bianco pizza, meatballs, and chicken parmesan, chicken broccoli ziti are our go to! Always get something from the specials too! read more

Rose Kennedy, Ray Bolger, Leonard Nimoy, Dennis Lehane, and The Duke himself ( not John Wayne ) Pete Doherty all hail from its shores. Their first experiences with food i imagine were similar to my own. Going out to eat was a rarity back then. The Venetian and Nanina's were for special occasions. Al's Market, Tom English's and Naples Pizza were staples. Dorchester has come a long way culinarily speaking. Lately there has been an influx of new venues to dine at. Dorset Hall, Lucy's and the Industry have all fared well. There is a place in Adam's Village called Molinari's that is building it's reputation one chicken parm at a time. Wood fired pizzas and Italian fare are on the docket. To start, the ARANCINI as an appetizer was incredible. Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked and filled with cheese and prosciutto and served with marinara sauce. I.thought I was in the North End. Their pizzas are cooked well done as evident by the charred bubbly crust. Touché, A myriad of toppings outside the norm are available. A former co-worker, part owner and good friend Keefe S. Is usually in attendance to help you decide if you're like me and pontificate like its a life or death situation every time you peruse a menu. Their specialty? The chicken parmigiana sub. I was apprehensive about their choice of bread and often find focaccia too chewy and a chore . Not the case here. First of all the chicken is sautéed not deep fried. The usual ingredients, just better versions and it works. Real herbs in the breading, Sam marzano tomato marinara and multiple cheeses top this " don't stop til its time to pay " sandwich. The first non Native American to feel Dorchester sand ooze between his toes was Captain Squib. On May 30, 1630, Captain Squib of the ship Mary and John entered Boston Harbor and on June 17, 1630, landed a boat with eight men on the Dorchester shore. , at what was then a narrow peninsula known as Columbia Point. Why did he take 19 days to decide where to land? If it was today he would be wise to head straight to Molinari's and order a sub. read more

I like their white clam pizza, they don't have it all the time, but when they do, I get it. A bit salty for some people but I love it. Their salads are good. Linguini with clams very tasty also. Everything is fresh tasting and every pizza I've tried there is tasty. read more

Very, very nice people and one of the best (and biggest!) pizzas we've had in ages. They genuinely put care into their food and it shows. We'll most certainly be back. You should definitely give them a try! read more

Amazing!! A secret gem. Pasta is amazing and the pizzaaa!!

Not in this corner of Dot too often, but this is some of the best Pizza in Boston. We hit it up while heading back into the city after a long bike ride and it totally hit the spot! Great service as well. read more

This was the worst pizza I've ever eaten. Don't know what happened. We've had this pizza before and it was pretty good. Tonight it was like they poured tomato soup over some pizza dough. And it wasn't cheap. Papa Gino's is better and at a better price never again! read more

Molinari's - Pizza Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The wood fired pizza is my favorite and Molinari's nailed it. Went on a weekday for lunch and was lucky enough to stop for gas and found Molinari's when I was on my way to Boston Logan Airport. The service was great too. I believe next time I will definitely try Pasta for sure based on my experience with wonderful Pizza. Must try! read more

Been to Molinari's a few times since it opened. I've always gotten takeout so I haven't dined in yet. I've tried 3 of their pizzas. All were good to very good. Nice spot in Adams Village. Glad they are in the neighborhood. read more

Molinari's - Crunchy Buffalo Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

We were looking for a good pizza restaurant to go to after a company outing at F1 Outdoor in East Bridgewater. They don't accept reservations, but after a call to the owner (Keith) earlier in the week, he told me to call an hour ahead of time and he'd accommodate our group of 12. THE PIZZA AND SERVICE WAS FANTASTIC!!! We ended up ordering 7 pizzas for the group! The beer and wine selection was very good as well. It's a small place, but freshly remodeled and stylish. Definitely a great experience! read more

Digging Molinari's. Close to where we live, yummy pizza and pasta, kid-friendly. I can't speak to the wait time or the extra charges that other reviewers faced -- I haven't experienced those. I'm just super appreciative of a family place in this neighborhood, a restaurant that doesn't have enormous TVs and a bar crowd. read more

This place is an utter F show. I ordered takeout and was told 30 minutes. After I arrived I proceeded to sit there for yet an additional 36 minutes bringing my grand total to 66 minutes. May seem petty but pretty sure someone's math sucks. I won't be ordering from this establishment again or at least until they expand, and my recommendation to anyone who orders takeout is please be prepared to wait twice as long as you originally anticipated. read more

Great pizza. Great service. The meatballs and pizza were solid. Serving great beer and wine too.

Small pizza Place Subing as a Restaurante at Night...food is amazing but service is slow af. Great selections to offer, open kitchen and Great staff read more

I went here last night as a last-minute substitute for another establishment nearby that was on an hour wait. I have to say that was the best set of circumstances that could have taken place because Molinari's is fantastic. Everything was made fresh as our cherry server explained. The mussels special: delicious. The spaghetti and meatballs: very good (despite the large portions, I could have eaten more). Our server "twisted our arm" to try the cannoli and they were my favorite part. The chef/owner even took time away from the busy kitchen to stop by our table and introduce himself. Truly a great little spot I look forward to visiting again. read more

First thing to mention is the service was top notch. From the moment I placed the call to order to when I picked up my order they were exceptionally courteous. The pizza however could use some tweaking. The crust is great; thin Neapolitan style with a nice char on it. What needs a great deal of improvement is the sauce. It has a the taste and smell like spaghetti sauce, sauce that I would use on a bowl of pasta, however it's not very good. Pizza sauce and pasta sauce are very different or at least should be. In addition to being pasta sauce it's void of flavor. It didn't seem like the cheese offered any additional flavor as well. I was very disappointed as it looked amazing, but looks are deceiving. read more

This was a nice little place in Dorchester that we went into,on a dismal rainy day. We decided to share everything from pizza to arancini to Caesar salad everything was stellar. The waitstaff was phenomenal we were greeted as we came in very nice experience here. I would highly recommend it ! Next time will try the entrées and the specials. read more

The food was so yummy and fresh and the waitress and other staff were so inviting and sweet! Will be back soon.

Service was excellent. Food came out quick. Both pizzas we got (margarita and meat lovers) were superb.

I heard about Molinari's from someone at work and i would thank them profusely if i could remember who they are!! My husband and i went before a concert last week. Service was very good. He had chicken piccata that was phenomenal. As good or better than many places in the north end or Federal Hill. I had the mussels that were very good. The pizza looked great! Will be going back to try very soon. read more

I ordered chicken parm. and it was like rubber. Dry, chewy and flavorless. I won't be back. read more

The food is excellent!!! The wait time and the lack of communication is horrible!!!!!!! Every time I come for a pick up order they say an hour and it's an hour and half. One time waiting to be seated it took two and half hours!!!! UNACCEPTABLE! read more

Ordered a large Margarita pizza and what I got was a sauce covered cracker with cheese cooked into the crust.. sauce similar to Papa Gino's.. Nothing to write home about & definitely over priced read more

One of the best pizza places in Boston. Plus the homemade Italian food is just like grandma used to make.

Holy cannoli Batman! This place is amazing! It is small at the moment, but they will soon be breaking into the building next-door. First of all, our waitress Hannah Rose was absolutely adorable , funny and patient. (Re. tolerant!) Half our party arrived late, leaving two of us to hold the table for the other four. Don't be afraid or anything on this menu it is all scrumptious. We were all dipping into each other's dishes at each other's insistence. Every dish we had was exquisite. And huge. Both southern Italy and northern are represented. Most of the pasta is homemade. The chicken Parmesan was ginormous!. And the pizza Bianco was the best pizza that any of us have had in several years. And be sure to try the MEATBALLS!!!! Fantabulous. Mille grazie!!!!! read more

This place is great, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to the portion size. We got the clam entre, the chick parm and pesto cream gnocchi. Everything came in those standard black to-go containers and if they were a quarter full I'd be surprised. Honestly, the flavor of everything was spot on but they need to add some more pasta which shouldn't be too much of a set back! We also got a pizza which was perfect! read more

Had a great meal here. The place is small and there are few tables. So at 5 pm on a Sunday evening, we sat at the bar. The staff was very attentive and friendly; the pizza crust was terrific and the eggplant parm was great. We will definitely be back. read more

This is the third time I have eaten at this restaurant and it will probably be my last. Although the food is great, the wait is intolerable. It's Saturday evening we as a party of 4 arrive at 5:45 and were told that the wait would be an hour. It is currently 7:30 and we have not been seated. I know that the kitchen is slow so I'll be lucky to have food by 9. I find this intolerable has I known it was soooo long a wait I would had left. read more

Have been trying to make it here for a really long time and final went for lunch recently. Soooooooooooo disappointed! Order meatballs to share, they arrived and were not hot at all. I sent most of the order back. Second time they were at best lukewarm. Very good but not hot. Ordered a pizza with fresh mozzarella and homemade sausage, the sausage never made it on the pizza but the $3 charge made it to the bill. Which was removed when I brought it to their attention. Pizza was o.k. not half as good as I was anticipating. Disappointed all around. Well, got it out of my system anyway. TW read more

I love this place, it's cute and cozy the way a neighborhood place should be, and the food is better than most upscale places in town. Better still the prices are reasonable and the service is always friendly. Great options for vegetarians too! read more

A wonderful new addition to Adams Village in Dorchester. Had dinner here recently and it was a great experience. Very friendly staff, charming atmosphere and above all, stellar food. Had the ARANCINI as an appetizer and it was incredible. Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked and filled with cheese and prosciutto and served with marinara sauce. Be warmed, these are very filling. For pizza, we had the Margherita and it was a pleasant change from what the other choices in the area offer. That's not to say the other places are bad, but This is a place to come and enjoy a uniquely made pizza with fresh ingredients and a little more style than your average "out the door" pizza joint. I can't wait to try more items in their menu. read more

Overpriced and made popular by people with ties to the owners, area and community. I think this place has potential, though. Not overwhelmed with the place read more

Small and quaint and big on flavor! Bring your appetite and treat your taste buds to the best Italian food in the area. Relaxing atmosphere and great staff. Favorite restaurant in the area. This place is a gem! read more

Great pizza. Wings and other apps are awesome. Pasta leaves a lot to be desired. But overall a great addition to the neighborhood.
