10. The Upper Crust Pizzeria

This place hasn't been the same since the early days before the place closed down and reopened. The pizza is thin crust and delicious, but the service is very slow. It's a crap shoot.
9. Peter's Pizza Palace
Reviewed By A TripAdvisor reviewer on Facebook
This is our favorite pizza place in Wellesley and we've tried them all. Not greasy, thin crust and great sauce. The drivers are courteous and prompt and friendly. They recently moved locations and there is usually a spot in front to park if you pick-up.

As a pizza restaurant located within three blocks of 4 or 5 others, this one stands out. As a native New Yorker I am very particular about my pizza. This pizza excels, thin crust, fresh toppings. Great service. I have pre ordered by phone dozens of times and the order is always ready promptly. They deliver to the office with the same quality and reliability.

This intimate restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating is truly a hidden gem! Service was fantastic and food was delicious. Menu offers a great selection ofdishes, and I loved the Italian Sausage & Pepper Meatballs. Bucatini with guanciale was tasty too. The homemade peach crostata with vanilla gelato was the perfect end to our meal.

We used to love OSP, unfortunately it appears to be on a downhill slid lately. Our last couple of orders have had issues.The pizza, used to be excellent, now finding the pie smaller than it used to be. Also the dough and cheese were lacking flavor. I hope they are not using cheaper alternatives.Order taking, whoever answered the phone the last few visits needs a few lessons in paying attention. She didn't know the answers to basic questions. Last order asked for Veal Parm on the pasta of the day and got a Veal sub with a side of pasta.We'll be back one more time before writing this one off.

Call ahead and order a "mess". Great to serve a large crowd. Garlic bread and salad tops off the meal! No work!
4. Sweet Basil

Sweet Basil is one of those restaurants that takes no reservations, has no parking, is kind of cramped and has no bar! But itâs all worth the wait, walking from street parking, getting to know the folks that are right next to you while eating and schlepping your own wine in. The food is that good and the service is outstanding. We are repeat offenders and travel a distance to get there. There are so many good dishes, you just have to try them all.

Stopped here for a quick lunch while in Wellesley. Loved the new renovations. Well worth the wait while they were closed for the transformation. The bar area is SO MUCH better. More open and several TVs in the room highlighting Boston sports most often. Love their wine options. Bartenders are helpful, friendly and attentive.Thank you L920DZbillb! So glad to hear that you enjoy our new look. We were excited about the renovations too and we love to hear guests enjoy the transformation. We hope we see more of you in the future. Gratefully, Gary Morrison General Manager

This was my first time here in a few years, since I do not live in the vicinity. It was excellent. The staff are professional but very friendly and welcoming. Mike, our server, was extraordinary. I had the truffle salad followed by the pappardelle con cingali, and both were superb. The ribbon pasta was homemade, and it showed; it was translucently thin and delicate. The wild boar had been slow cooked to perfect tenderness. There are several reasonably priced wines by the glass. Parking on the street on a Wednesday evening was no problem. Iâll be back; itâs well worth the drive for me.
