Recently visited the Pleasant Cafe after reading about them in the Globe. Could not believe how awesome the pizza was and that I had never been here before. The restaurant has been around since the 40's according to our waitress and the recipes are original. The pizza was perfect! Thin crust, crispy, not greasy, AWESOME. They make their dough and sauce daily. We will be back!
