Restaurant Pizza Works 456 Grove St (Sept 20)

Overall impression:   Good pizza, plus a large menu of non-pizza things. Ideal for multi-generational gatherings.

This week's new-for-me (and for Eric) place was Restaurant Pizza Works. It was perfect for post-game, post-afternoon walk refreshment. Nothing fancy, just good food that we didn't have to make for ourselves. (And wearing slightly worn football t-shirts we were happy not to feel under-dressed).  We will likely visit again in the same type of Sunday situation.

I first heard about the food there from a colleague who has taken his boy scout troop for celebrations. His son is one of those extremely picky eaters whose diet mostly consists of bread - and yet he likes their pizza.  Though that is what we had, the menu is gigantic, so there is something for everyone. The crowd when we were there was older, but I could envision groups of kids there. It seems a good family place. Totally casual and comfortable.

The pizza was slightly different than our usual fare - the crust was unique. Not thick, not thin- sort of in-between with just the right amount of crispness, and a touch of sweet. Yummy. Eric got sausage and mushroom and I got the puttanesca pizza. It was the first time I had capers as a topping and I was taken aback at first, but I really liked the added zing.

So far I haven't actually experienced a bad pizza place in Worcester. But I do really appreciate the differences in crusts and choices at the various establishments. A reason to get out of one's usual pizza joint rut!
