Best pizza on the South Shore. Whether you get it laced or not, the sauce has amazing flavor and the cheese cooks just right. Don't let the imposters fool you. Been coming for the last 40 years.

This place is a 10. From the owners, to the staff, to the pizza and draft beer. I don't care what David Portnoy says I've tried the rest and this place is the best. Portnoy only knows money not pizza

OMG. Just got my first pizza at Lynwood and oh no; I'm addicted. I got a cheese, because I'm boring, but it was so good. Crispy n cheesy and oh so yummy. Got here at noon and already jammed so I knew it was going to be good. By time we left it was wait only. So good Sat at bar and service was great. Old establishment so very quaint and very reasonable in prices

Everything you think you know about Pizza is about to change... beginning with where to get great pizza. Randolph, MA happens to be a hidden destination pizza haven like Connecticut! I know it sounds crazy, but these people have a Baked Bean Pizza that will blow you away, and the Pepperoni Pizza is real deal! Order your pizza Laced and Crispy. The burned edges are a must try.

In my attempt to visit all the SSBP (South Shore Bar Pizza) notables, I landed at the Lynwood Cafe today. Even though this is a local dive bar (albeit charming, in a land-that-time-forgot way), we showed up along with everyone else, even though it was around 1:30pm. I figured the locals were more noontime lunchers. I was wrong. The wait from time of seating to pizza serving ran close to 55 minutes. Even if you'll be eating-in, it's a good idea call your order in before getting in your car. It's suggested on the paper menus, so believe it! My friend had the hamburger pizza, which was generously sprinkled with crumbled beef. I'd have preferred the meat be seasoned a bit more (garlic?), but the tomato sauce shined through for a solidly delicious pie. I had the pepper, onion, mushroom & salami Special. The salami and shrooms come chopped, which makes for an even bite and mouth feel. I rather liked not having hot salami slices slapping me back in the face. The salami, however, needed more zing--it was not easy to taste among the other toppings. I'd try this again and swap out pepperoni for the salami. What the Lynwood does exceptionally well is a crispy bottom and laced edges. No flop on these pies. The comparison: for me, the overall flavor of bar pizza remains #1 with Town Spa in Stoughton, but Lynwood edges them out on all things crust. New favorite trends in SSBP make Bardo's a consideration for cheese blend and unique toppings. If you're a SSBP lover, you need to try them all, because Bardo's could knock off both Lynwood and Town Spa from top rankings.

A bit about me: I love pizza. ALL pizza. I can find something good about any pizza you give me and that includes 7-11 pizza and school english muffin pizza. I love NY style pizza. I love Chicago deep dish. Detroit style, brick oven: all are wonderful. That said, I was raised on the south shore and my 2 favorite types are "New England Greek" and "South Shore Bar". Among the bar pizzas, Lynwood is my #1. #2 is probably Poopsie's. Cape Cod and Crisp are next. Then Town Spa places. For some this may be blasphemy, but they are wrong. :) My judgement is primarily on THE PIZZA, which is what a good pizza review should be all about. Lynwoods keeps things classic and simple and I like that. You can order pizza, maybe some chips/pretzels and beer/wine/liquor/soda. There isn't an extensive menu here. They do one thing and they do it really really well. Town Spa and the others offer MUCH more variety and are great on their own, but the pizza is the star at Lynwood. My favorite pizza choices would be Bean Special, Linguica and Onion, Mushroom, Onion Pepper and plain cheese. If you are going for the first time, I recommend getting a plain cheese on the side. IMHO it's the best way to try a new place and compare it to others. If you want to have the pizza like many of the locals like it, order your pizza "laced", meaning they put tomato sauce up on the top/outer crust, so it comes out extra crispy. Many people also like to order it "well done" or "crispy", but I've always been fine with the default. The atmosphere is awesome if you want to go back in time. The place hasn't changed my entire life (nor as long as my father has gone) and we are in our 40s and 70s, respectively. Wood paneling, a cool bowling shuffle-puck game, a tight bar with great people and waitresses with a fun personality. It is cash only, which used to be an inconvenience, but now they have an ATM in the restaurant. If you sit at the bar, they will expect you to pay with cash per drink. The bartender will leave the change in front of you. Just leave it there...they won't pick up the tips till you are done. You can order a few more and then decide what tip to leave. If you are sitting at a table vs a bar, I recommend ordering your beers in twos. They are smaller glasses (price adjusted) and I tend to take them down 2 at a time without them getting warm. Warning: if you are doing takeout on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, you probably want to plan in advance. Sometimes the wait for pizza is measured in hours, so if you're planning a big pizza night, call at 5 to check out the scene and decide whether to order then. Worst-case, you can order a set of "half-bakes" at 5 pm, pick them up and toss them in your own oven to finish the bake. Then when your party people come over at 7 or 8, it's fresh, hot and not overcooked. That said, I like the "second cook" of their pizza as much as when it's fresh. In summary, I love the place. It's one of my favorite places to go with friends and it's a go-to for takeout. Never change, Lynwood.

It is not often that I write a poem about a restaurant. In fact, I have never done it before. But sometimes one is moved by the beauty of the moment. And so, I give you... "Ode To The Lynwood Cafe" by Jeffrey Ray Wine On an early, autumn day Before winter came to stay My friend and I found our way To the lovely, old Lynwood Cafe Their South Shore-style bar pizza was an A There's so much more I want to say But all that praise would take a day And I am hungry, and on my way to the lovely, old, Lynwood Cafe

Goooood za! Take a step back in time and enjoy some really really good pizza. This is your classic tale of "looks can be deceiving". Ordered a specialized pizza the other day asking for peppers and mushrooms. Boy, did I get a pizza loaded with peppers and mushrooms. It's not a very large pizza, but certainly enough to fill the appetite of two. It's the classic style thin crust pizza. A little different tasting crust than I've had in the past, but I judge a good pizza partially on the taste of the crust, this was good. Peppers were fresh. Mushrooms were fresh. A tad greasy but not enough to disparage the pie. The order was to be ready in 35 minutes. It was.
