"THE BEST BY FAR"  5 Star Rating - World class

By Anonymous Opens in New WindowI felt I went back in time. The service was so incredibly friendly. The 2 owners are right there talking and joking with you. The pizza was the best I ever had on the Cape. I thought I was in an old New York neighborhood. Some of my friends had dinners and sandwiches. They all agreed that it was so delicious and fresh. It' a great place for family and friends to gather. The prices are more than reasonable, (especially for the Cape). The atmosphere was very inviting. I highly recommend you visit here.

 

 







The BEST

Everything is the best I've ever had every time I've went. The owners are great, the wait staff is great and the prices are great. It is a place I think everyone should go to...

 
 
 
 

RAVE OF THE WEEK

I’ve written here about pizza before. My main beef with pizza on the Cape is finding a really good pizza pie. I won’t be naming names here, but some are cleverly gourmet (asparagus/little neck/goat cheese anyone?) but the same one is too crispy. It’s like eating an over-size pita chip. Then we have bland at another place; the too-thick crust place somewhere else. There’s a pizza restaurant chain on the Lower Cape, too, but sorry, not thrilled by that.
So when I found out there was a New York Style pizza place opening in Wellfleet, I had to find out if it was the real thing or at least what I think a good pizza should be: thin crust, but not burnt to a crisp; not too many ingredients, the right blend of sauce and cheese. I am happy to report that D’Italia’s on Route 6A, near the Marconi Beach traffic lights, is just what I was looking for.
D’Italia’s is a tiny place but there are a few tables for dining in if you don’t want to take out. Pizza is available by the slice – a big slice – as well as the pie, and there are Italian dinners like eggplant and Parmesan, and lasagna which come with a nice portion of pasta; subs and salads. They don’t go crazy about toppings although you can have a pizza made to order, and they don’t offer a lot of featured pizzas, which is fine with me, as too many choices is too much to think about. The service is quick and the people are friendly.
When I tried it the first time, I thought, well, I really like this, but what do I know about real New York pizza? (I grew up eating those Appian Way pizza-in-a-box and Greek pizza.) So I brought along my Italian Jersey friend, whom I figured must know a good pizza. She pronounced it “great.”
The pizza had enough sauce and cheese and was not overwhelmed by toppings, plus it had personality. It made me wonder why some places just can’t get it right, it seems simple enough to make a pizza. D’Italia’s gets it right.

If yditalias2_250ou haven't experienced D'Italia's at 955 Route 6 in Wellfleet, you're missing the best!

Tucked back off Route 6 it's a good thing the speed limit is 40 MPH, otherwise you might miss one of the best "cheap eats" I have found on Cape Cod.  There is something for everyone and the prices are reminiscent of the '90s.  D'Italia's dining room has a cozy cottage atmosphere and is both eye-pleasing and relaxing.  Whether you are dining inside at one of the meticulously clean tables, or outside enjoying the privacy and intimacy of the enclosed patio, you will not top D'Italia's for service, quality, quantity, cleanliness or price.

Owner Lenny D'Italia adds to the atmosphere. Despite being on the highway, you feel like you are in a little village café.  I particularly enjoyed the open kitchen where you can watch your food being prepared.  Everything is homemade on the premises and the vegetables are cut fresh each morning.  The pizza is to die for--New York-style, thin crust and hand-tossed!  On my most recent visit my favorite was the Hawaiian topped with ham and pineapple. Pizza is available by the slice or as a small or large pie.

ditalias3_250D'Italia's boasts a fine selection of beer and wine to enjoy with your meal.  The cozy bar reminded me of some small pubs I visited in Europe.  You can enjoy a hearty lunch with a beverage and leave with a smile on your face all for under $7.  Nothing on the dinner menu is over $15 and Friday and Saturday night is prime rib night featuring your choice of a "queen" or "king" cut served with the vegetable of the day, au jus and your choice of starch.  I haven't tried that yet but I understand it is the best take in town.

This year's Readers Choice Award, D'Italia's, was voted #1 on Cape Cod for Pizza, Italian food, and fine dining.  They have a great take out service as well.  I give D'Italia's two thumbs up--without a doubt one of the best places on Cape Cod to meet and eat. 

D'Italia's is located at 955 Route 6 in Wellfleet (near the Marconi light).  They are open Tuesday-Saturday from 11am-8pm and Sunday from 12pm-7pm.  Just remember, they are closed on Monday.
