Makkas

January 26th, 2008


This is a rare non-Framingham post but I’ve decided to include it since this used to be in Framingham.  Since some comments on the Herbie’s post started mentioning Makkas (that used to be in the old Lechmere Mall) and that they are still open in Marlborough, I was compelled to go check it out…and so we did.

Makkas is at 890 Boston Post Rd.  I never really get to Marlborough for some reason so this was good reason to visit.  It was still Christmas season when went (incase anyone is wondering why the tree is there).  It’s a kind of small shop, but they seem to have their loyal regulars who get stuff to go and a counter for people who just want to sit for a quick slice.  One look at someone’s sub made me want to get one but we stuck with the original mission, pizza.

We got half eggplant, half plain.

I know some people prefer Italian  over Greek style pizza and (if you couldn’t tell from the name) this is Greek but I like both styles and thought this was good,  the crust and bottom where nice and crunchy and there was a good balance of sauce and cheese.

Ethan wasn’t  fan but I liked it and it tasted like what I remembered from the Lechmere Mall days- although it was so long ago, I probably wouldn’t notice if they changed the recipe but it tasted like what I thought it should taste like.
Anyway, I thought some of the people who mentioned Makkas on the past post might be interested so, enjoy!

Now we just need to find the “Cookies Cookin’ ” people and get them back in business : )

  2. Ahhh, Makkas! The pizza looks just as I remember it. I used to get a slice or two, and a coke, then go put my greasy fingers all over the pianos next door until I got kicked out, which obviously never took long.

  3. I used to work at Cookies Cookin back in the day and I loved it! The family and the people who worked there were wonderful! We used to eat Makkas pizza all the time and loved it. It’s good to know it’s still around. Maybe I’ll go by there sometime.
