Just wanted to say that I still love this place and come for lunch almost every day. The pizza is so dang good y'all

Located just a stone's throw from the Palladium and DCU center, this establishment packs a punch with its delicious pizza. Came across this business when searching for a cheap place to stuff myself full before a night of drinking and live music at the Palladium. This did the trick! The interior reminds me of the decor in McDonald's restaurants back in the day. Tiling, plastic booths and tables, and the occasional fake plant for accessory. I had the a lunch special meal - two slices of pizza and a soda for $5. Slices are decently large and very tasty. Thin, doughy crust, little sauce, lots of cheese!! Will definately return if looking for a quick bite to eat in the area. read more

Woosta Pizza - Interior Sign - Pizza Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

My coworker and I have become addicted. It's right across the street from where we work and it's becoming a problem how much we like it

The only reason I gave these people 3 stars is because they were nice. Pizza was not good, no sauce and smothered it in spices. It was cooked ok and was on time. read more

Best Pizza in Worcester. (Order XL for New York Style) If you've recently moved to Worcester and are having trouble finding good Pizza, then you've got to try Woosta Pizza's XL Cheese or Pepperoni. You won't be disappointed. read more

FIRST I WILL TELL YOU: YES! YES!! Woosta Pizza was McDonald's back in the day. It closed sometime late 90's early 2000's, and became Woosta Pizza the BEST pizza in Worcester (Woosta!) Seriously, this is soooo good. I grew up eating real Italian pizza from the North End. (Regina's is still my fave!) Thin crust, foldable, with big fluffy crust/edge for dunkin' in dressin' like ranch or ceasar. JUST LIKE WOOSTA PIZZA!!!! Really, WHO DOESN'T FOLD??? ALL PIZZA LOVERS DO!!! SOOOOOOOOO GOOD! Papa Ginos has NOTHING on WP. Also, try the tortellini - OMG - soooo delish! Salads are fresh and yummy. Brauna and her husband (owners/workers) are the REAL DEAL -they do it all and are so humble. The sandwiches are delish too. I Have been eating here since 2005 and the quality and service has only gotten better. Worcester Foodie says GO TO WOOSTA PIZZA!!!!! You will not regret it. )Note: If you do regret it, it will be made right!!). Yuuuuuummmmmm, my foodie Villens will LOVE WP!!!! It s REAL pizza!!!! read more

This is my go whenever I am working downtown. I usually just grab a couple of ready to go slices, but occasionally I will order a specialty pizza or a couple of appetizers. I have always had friendly service and enjoy the casual conversation. The food is consistent which is why I keep coming back. read more

Great little pizza joint, very friendly! I will come back here the next time I'm in town.

Either I hit this place on a bad day or the quality of the pizza varies widely because I cannot really explain why other reviewers love this place and I hate it. I was in Worcester for the day for a workshop and wandered around during lunch time till I came upon the sign and something about "Worcester's best pizza." What a joke. This is the kind of middling, mall pizza you find in sleepy towns - cherished by locals as the "real deal" but laughed out by out-of-towners and big city folks who know a thing or two about pie. This place is cheap, but that makes sense since the pizza sucks. I don't remember the last time I was in a pizza place that did not have a non-meat option other than cheese - oh that's right, it was 1986 or something. I had lunch special #2, which consisted of a slice of cheese pizza, a very poor salad and a drink. The pizza looked like it had been sitting on the counter for a while and even a few minutes in the oven could not resuscitate could it. If this is the best pizza in the city, Worcester is fucked. read more

Good tasting pizza. Salads a bit bland, but edible. Fast counter type service. Good place to eat if you are in a hurry. read more

Woosta Pizza - Old fashioned dining room. - Pizza Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Hands down the best pizza in Worcester! The staff is kind, and the pizza is absolutely mouthwatering. There must be a secret in their recipe. My favorite place! read more

We ordered from work and had it delivered , on top of the delivery driver literally throwing the food at us. They got are order completely wrong. Delivery driver went down a wrong one way street and with his banged up mobil. Will not order from here again. Thanks for the awful experience read more

Horrible. And we all wonder why no one comes to or enjoys this place...it is in a great location so any bizz that is at least average would thrive...and they are not thriving but apparently dying. Now I know why... ordered BBQ chicken and what I received was fried (most likely from frozen) breaded chicken with some generic sugar-laden commercial BBQ sauce poured on top... seriously? Please close soon so a real restaurant and caring owner can come in to continue to make this upcoming area upcoming from the previous dismal region of which places such as this were a massive contributor to the decay. read more

Nice prices. You can get pizza by the slice!! Huge selection and friendly staff. Nice family owned atmosphere. Well worth our visit!

#22 on the Worcester Pizza Quest (I understand that people place emotions when they visit a restaurant a lot. But in my reviews rely on how I felt about a place and on the tastiness of the food. Nostalgia has no factor in my reviews. I treat each review as a first time visit and the impact that was placed on me when visited.) The person answered the phone attention was elsewhere but otherwise pleasant. We ordered just a plain cheese pizza. It is difficult to find parking because it is downtown Main Street. This is an unusual Pizza shop it seems as though it was a McDonalds. The place is run down. The smell of the pizza fills the room even before you open the box. Opening the box you are rewarded with a pleasant looking pizza that needs to be eaten. This is the thin Italian style pizza. The dough had that pleasant crisp but chewy feeling and the sauce had just the right amount of spices and sweetness. The cheese was a bit skimpy but did not take away from the flavor. This is a pleasant pizza and a bit shocked that it is located in downtown Worcester. This pizza is worth the drive, I will be ordering from them again. read more

When you order a large pizza, it's ok; but the pizza by the slice is terrible for some reason; no sauce, very dry. I also would stay away from their sandwiches read more

What a soggy, sloppy mess of a lousy small pepperoni pizza. Too much sauce too much cheese soggy crust. Worst 10.00 bucks I ever spent. Never again. read more

Good service food was ok price ok would not go back place was deserted if you're looking for great place this isn't it but if you want a place with no customers this is the place not many places down town to eat there was no atmosphere no radio or tv for sound read more

I went in to Woosta Pizza and bought a drink and chips to use the bathroom. When I asked to use the bathroom, I was told it is for customers only. I asked if buying chips and a drink didn't count as a customer and was told no, it's only if you eat here. I proceeded to the bathroom that had an out of order sign on it, but it was In perfect working order. As a colleague walked out, the guy at the register shook his head, turned to another employee and said un-f'ing believable, the bathroom is for customers only. Now I am driving and have to use the bathroom again after drinking the soda I didn't even want. I would have bought a slice, but the pizza looked so bad that I didn't even want it. read more

Ah the neighborhood pizza joint...fast , decent and friendly food abound Except at Woosta Pizza, they dont quite get the fast part, nor do they seem to understand the decent part Ordered Eggplant Parm(I am asking for it, admittedly) and my friend ordered the Turkey sub with honey mustard. His "sub" had all of one piece of meat in it, and my CHICKEN parm was sparingly matched with 3 pounds of spaghetti...and this was a 20 minute wait..in a pizza shop Maybe they do things differently in Woosta, but two stars for this establishment...one by default, and one by sheer pity, since they were overrun by Grateful Dead Stoners To them, the wait was ok, man....just not for the sober folk F read more

The food was low quality. "Panini" served on thick cut slices of bread, soggy instead of crispy. Gluten free pizza was downright awful. The chicken wings were the only decent part of the order, but they were very greasy. Everything very bland and flavorless. Waste of money. Will never order here again. read more

Great place I didn't read the negative reviews yet because I don't really care,hopefully this will counter any of the negative reviews. For starters CUSTOMER SERVICE is a 5 stars they are very open very welcome and respectful,never had any problems or even a hint of disrespect with this company and by the way I'm a regular before I got my home renovations I ordered 5 times a week. They're always on time,I wait no longer than 30 minutes and I usually order a large box of pizza,manicotti (for my other half) small fries and sometimes a few snapples. THE FOOD,is almost all good I think the fries could be better when you first get them they're soggy because of the steam and have a slight hint of cardboard. The salad is always fresh,and the pizza is the best pizza I've had in all worcester and shrewsberry,better than papa Gino's. The bread is average sometimes they have a special bread that's good,regardless the bread you get with the salad and pasta is eatable,soft,and has a fresh baked taste. I don't really eat pasta a lot,but when I do it's usually chicken and ziti with broccoli and I think it's delicious,but again I don't really care because Im a pizza and steak and cheese kind of guy. The food is great,really good overall better than average. But on the short hand,because this is why they didnt get 5 stars from me Is simply I feel as if they're lazy,at almost any sign of snow you can bet that they won't be open,and sometimes after holidays they are still closed for a day,again this is after the Holliday and its disappointing to say the very least. Minus 1 * read more

I ordered a large roast beef grinder with extra cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo. When I got it, it had just 1 piece of roast beef on the whole grinder! The grinder was mostly lettuce, tomato and mayo. I think there may have been a slice of cheese or 2 in there. You'd think for $9 they could have splurged for a few more slices of meat. If you want a REAL roast beef grinder, or any other great meal - check out Tony's Pizza in Sutton. Every single thing I have ordered from them is phenomenal - and their house salad dressing is delicious! read more

I like Woosta Pizza, though I think the name is silly. The pizza is Italian style, and could use about double the sauce..but otherwise good. The sandwiches are a great value for the area and come with Potato chips for about $5 for a foot long. While there could be improvements on the pizza..it isn't your typical central massachusetts greek/turkish style (cooked in a pan) pizza that's everywhere. It's closer to Papa ginoesque Italian style, and they are a full 18 inches which is pretty huge. Calzones looked huge as well, though I haven't had one. I do appreciate this place. read more

Pizza slices were thin, and the sauce had no taste. Traditional thin crust style pizza. They do have a number of lunch specials available Monday-Friday, and a number of meal deal options (pizza, wings, soda). They do have ample seating, and do offer delivery. read more

I work downtown, so I've been exploring my lunch options. I stopped in around noon the other day with the intention of getting a calzone. Unfortunately for me, this was apparently lunch time for the MCPHS students, so I was told it would be a half hour. I couldn't wait that long, so I grabbed a lunch special with a slice of cheese, salad, and a soda. Luckily for me, the pizza had just come out, and it was great! The crust was a good balance of chewy and crunchy, and there was plenty of cheese. The salad was good, though looked a little sad. (Not their fault, I think, since it is February.) This is a spot I will certainly come back to for lunch. Next time, though, I will definitely phone iin my calzone order. read more

I called them at 330 in the afternoon for a pickup and they said they were closing and they couldn't help me. They are horrible! read more

Great Pizza and generous supporters in the community. Andre and Brunilda donated 20 pizzas and drinks to the hard working staff standing up the UMass Memorial Field Hospital at the DCU Center. Thank you so much! read more

I love good pizza however, they skimp on the sauce and the next time i went in, they told me i have to request for more sauce which made it better but i had to pay for sauce where that amount should be on in anyway. I know they are kinda slow because the times i went in there, it was not very busy. I do like the pizza with the extra sauce. I ordered pineapple and they cooked it just great; warm and not thrown on afterwards. read more

Pizza is pretty good customer service needs work. Was told a 25 minute wait for a call in order. Arrived at exactly 25 minutes they just put my order in the oven I waited another 10 minutes. Also if you like parmesan cheese on your pizza you have to dine in only. They charge to take parm out of the store. I will never go back!!! read more

First off, I have to warn you, I am a bit of a pizza snob as I am from New York and grew up in the Bronx and Long Island. I think I know a little something about the stuff but I may be entirely full of it or just plain wrong. Anyways, this is my opinion of the joint, for good or for ill. Let me tell you something, besides a Chinese place (Dragon King or something) and Dunkin Donuts and the Armin Abbey (I may have misspelled that!) which I felt under dressed for, there are not a lot of places to eat in Worcester at 230p on a freakin' Saturday! I read Yelp reviews prior to my visit, so when I saw the little sign lit up from a distance, it looked like an oasis. We (me and my gf) had been walking around the downtown area for quite some time when we arrived unintentionally at our lunch destination. First, I like the McDonald's turned Pizzeria layout. Nostalgia does play a small part for my review and it hearkened back to a much different time in my life. Heh. Enough of that, let's get down to the service and the food. In that order. The nice young woman behind the counter was pleasant, she had to deal with somewhat indecisive customers who were apparently from somewhere that doesn't have too many pizzerias since they seemed to ruminate over the entire menu and took upwards of 5 minutes to complete their order. We ordered the special (2 Slices and a drink for $5), both getting 1 slice of pepperoni and regular cheese and grabbed two sodas. The lady got our order correct and a couple of minutes later we were summoned by her to come pick up our food. Ya know, for only 5 people being in the joint and we were at the table by the register, she *could* have brought it out. I've also been called "picky" but that's an egregious understatement. The cleanliness level of the place was on the higher end of good. I know they probably only just opened an hour or so before but the tables and chairs were good and the bathrooms were better than passable as well. I find this very important to note about food places, sometimes the food can be so good but you just want to get it to go because of the interior of a place. Anyways... on to the Main Attraction: The pizza: Very average. Even though I was ravenously hungry, I did everything in my power to not let it skew the datum (i.e. The Pizza) unfairly. It was near identical pizza to a place back on the Island called Les' (in Patchogue). I am not a fan of their pizza, and as such, I am not a fan of Woosta. I am not an Enemy of it either. It was semi-crisp, had a decent amount of cheese, but very little sauce. Bother slices. The pepperoni slice had an adequate amount of topping and was just a tad bit better than the cheese. Overall, my rating would be a 2.5 if I were allowed to give half-stars. It is, in my conclusion, a good place to stop off for a quick something if you are going to the Palladium or if you have other local business but I'm not driving 15+ minutes to eat here if I were a local. Ciao! read more

My family and I absolutely love this place, we are constantly- sometimes twice a week!- ordering from here. Staff are very nice over the phone and are friendly with their delivery, no complaints whatsoever and the pizza is amazing if you like thin crust!! read more

Came in here for a slice, it's nice they actually sell by the slice cause that's hard to find. Obviously not gourmet, but the pizza has good ratios and a nice crust. Cheap prices too! And nice that they deliver for $10 minimum. I'd order here again, especially delivery. It's not exactly beautiful inside but they have cute little messages of positivity around. read more

I really don't understand the rave reviews. The people were very nice and friendly and the place very clean.That being said , the sauce had little or no flavor , the cheese had no flavor and was a mixture of what type of cheese I couldn't tell, I asked for extra crispy and extra sauce and got not much sauce and I think they tried to make it crispy but the dough was very weird like cooked on the outside and raw gummy on the top under the sauce.I have this problem that time and again where I actually sometimes get drawn into a place because of a review.Doesn't anyone in these restaurants ever taste the food they are serving ? read more

Came before show at Hanover. They looked closed even though it was only 5 but when I called they said they were still doing deliveries. So they let me order for pickup. Ordered vegetarian calzone without broccoli. Instead they put in extra veggies which I didn't ask for like bell peppers and mushrooms. So don't trust the menu to be accurate. After picking out unwanted ingredients it was decent. The service was good enough so that I would come back again, just more careful in ordering. read more

I stumbled onto this place while walking from the MCPHS campus and searching for a slice and have returned a few times. The pizza is typical and doesn't lean either way in quality.Slices are your favorite are here and they have affordable sandwiches and a decent size menu of other options. The prices are fair, the staff is local kids who'd do better to be taking orders instead of gabbing to each other while customers stand and wait to be served. read more

NEVER order form here!! They rip you off when you order to take your money. I had my order placed for delivery and they purposely do not give you a receipt to check the oder. By the time you are in your kitchen opening up everything, their gone with your money. When I called to complain the manager preceded to hang up on me. LAST TIEM I WILL EVER ORDER FROM THIS DUMP read more

Great pizza if you are in the mood for authentic Italian style pizza. This isn't your greasy pizza like you see all over Worcester. Don't miss out on a great pizza shop. Also got catering there for my sons birthday, food came out great and they delivered it! read more

This is my Go-To restaurant for lunch. Large slices of pizza, friendly staff, and happy customers. They are a delightful family place with options for everyone. Highly recommend read more

Apparently if you order a large pizza instead of the small (what I ordered last time) it will arrive undercooked, floppy, and gross. Stick with the small pizzas, even if you have to order two. read more
