^ What was so great about it? What type of pizza do they make- deep dish, thin crust, in a stone oven. Details. What type of toppings do you usally get?
Town Spa is nothing fancy ... just a clean, casual, and comfortable large pizza parlor. The waiting room downstairs feels like a rec room, with a bar and large screen TVs. The dining room is upstairs with large booths and historical pictures of Stoughton and the four major sports teams (redsox, celtics, bruins and patriots) on the walls. Atmosphere earns the gold plate.
The menu at Town Spa focuses on Pizza, with a large selection of toppings so you can create any style. For appetizers, our diner starts with a cup of clam chowder. This thick soup could use a few more clams, but it arrives hot, with lots of crackers and is quite tasty. The caesar salad is big enough to serve 4. Lots of fresh anchovies sit on top of crisp lettuce, tossed with a perfect amount of creamy caesar dressing and cheese. Appetizers earn a gold plate. I highly suggest you get the mozzerella sticks. They are sooooo good!
Pizzas come in one size only; a size most restaurants consider a small. But, we all get our own pizza and it is enough to finish the full plate. It's just so good that you will want to eat it all. The cheese pizza has a thin crispy crust and comes with a tangy red sauce, covered in hot, gooey cheese. It???s a little greasy, but not too bad. The mushroom pizza features real, fresh mushrooms. The veggies are well-cooked but not mushy. If you like wings, you'll love the buffalo chicken pizza. Thick, tender pieces of chicken marinated in buffalo sauce are cooked into a cheese pizza. My all-time favorite is pepperoni.
One drawback is that Town Spa does not serve dessert.
The waiter/waitress is a pro and is able to handle several tables at once. He/she knows the menu well and offers suggestions. His/her pacing is good, but sometimes it may take a while for them to check back with you because it can get very busy.
The price is right at Town Spa, earning a platinum plate for value. Pizzas are about 5 to 6 dollars. The large salad was just over 5 dollars, and the soup is under 3. Drinks, including beer, are under 3 dollars. Town Spa only takes cash so leave the credit card at home.
Overall, Town Spa earns a gold plate, and that's an excellent dining experience.
That cheese is nasty. There is a reason why no one else uses it. For thin crust in STL, it's Fortell's or nothing.
