" What a delightful place! Went with a few friends after hearing so much about their famous pizza, and wow, I wasn’t let down! It’s had that homemade taste which many places can’t seem to nail down. The atmosphere had a charmingly vintage feel, making it pleasant to linger longer. Staff is also charming without being intrusive. Will gladly make this place a monthly visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Readable but unremarkable. Pleasant Cafe was certainly a place I thought I would enjoy based on all the praise, but unfortunately, the pizza was just okay. The service was helpful and friendly, but the flavor wasn’t quite there. The atmosphere is nice if old-school diners are your vibe; I can dig it. Still, I think this may have potential if they tweak some of their recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited Pleasant Cafe frequently over the years and I will always have a soft spot for this restaurant! Whenever I’m in town, I make sure to indulge in their thin-crust pizza. The service is consistently awesome and the ambiance reminds me of family gatherings since it’s so familiar and inviting. It’s not fancy, but it’s homey, and that’s exactly what I want when grabbing a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasant Cafe has a history that you can feel as soon as you walk in. The place is decked out in a retro style, taking you back in time. The pizza lived up to the recommendation I received. It had a crunchy crust and came out piping hot. The friendly waitstaff added to a great dining experience. While the atmosphere was nice, I felt that some of the tables were a bit cramped. Apart from that, I had a lovely night, and I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are ever in Boston, you owe it to yourself to check out Pleasant Cafe. The pizza reigns supreme here! The crust has the right amount of crispiness and the toppings are so fresh and flavorful! I could eat it every day! The service is friendly, and they are quite responsive to requests. It made my journey to Boston worthwhile. I will always come back when I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I won't lie, I had high hopes for Pleasant Cafe given all the buzz. Although the pizza was good, I expected more based on the hype. It had a nice crust but the toppings were a little sparse for my taste. However, the overall vibe of the place was marvellous! It's quaint and cozy, which made dining there quite enjoyable despite my expectations not quite aligning with reality. Maybe I will give them another chance with a different dish next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Pleasant Cafe for the first time after hearing many good things about their pizza. To say I was blown away would be an understatement. The thin crust is truly something special, definitely the best I've had in a long time! I ordered a mushroom and pepper pizza, and the flavors were fresh and perfectly balanced. The only downside was the service felt a bit rushed, but I suppose that’s to be expected on a busy Friday night. Regardless, I left feeling satisfied and will be back sooner rather than later!
