Anastasia’s

May 1st, 2008


I’ve done a post on Anastasia’s (12 Union Ave.) before when we got a steak and cheese from there but last night is the first time I’ve had their pizza.

Ethan and his friend had it a few weeks ago so when we were deciding on where to get pizza from he suggested here.  We were kind of pressed for time between just getting home from work and then I had Town Meeting to go to, so when he called, Ethan asked how long it would take to get a pizza delivered they said “No time at all” and it really seemed like it- it was about 15 Minutes from the call that we got the pizza delivered.

 We got half pepperoni and half eggplant.

Personally, I don’t care if a pizza is Greek or Italian style but I thought it was interesting that even though this is a Greek place the pizza was Italian style.  I have to say this pizza was excellent. I just really, really enjoyed this pizza.  At first I thought maybe it was because I was very hungry (I ride my bike to/from work in Westborough and often come home absolutely ravenous)  but then I found myself thinking about how good it was during town meeting, it was just so good. I figured if I was still thinking about it later in the night it must have been my tastebuds, not my hunger that made it so unforgettable.  Here’s a nice deliciously greasy detail:

Mmmmm-mmm!  The sauce, the cheese and the light crust were perfect.  I’m so happy to add this to our small list of good pizza places in Framingham but especially’s since it’s just a few blocks away.
