From Scratch

I love it when food makes me happy and the food From Scratch made me very happy today. I find this place a little frustrating that. they don't have a website and they don't offer Delivery . I hope that is something they will consider in the future because if they offered delivery, I could see myself ordering from them once or twice a weekThe place is small but very clean and very nice the people extremely nice and friendly and accommodating . I ordered the seafood pasta in a light tomato sauce. It was loaded with shrimp, mussels , and calamari. it was such a large portion at a very reasonable price that I brought some home and while I'm still full, I'm thinking of going and finishing It was that good . my friend ordered the salad with salmon. It was a large piece of salmon, well cooked and seasoned perfectly and she cleaned her plate.It's just really good. They had some interesting pizzas that I'm dying to try and they also offer cheese pizza but it's not on the menu which I think is odd. I hope more people give this business a chance they will definitely come back and it would be a great addition to the Allston Brighton neighborhood.

New to Oak square. Nice addition to the neighborhood. My favorite is the Caprese Salad and the Tiramisu. The presentation of the Fruitti di mare was appetizing . The carbonara was presented well but it was not traditional. Signature Meatballs were ok. I would like to try the artisan pizza next time. It looked like they get a lot of orders. They are take out but you can dine in.The ambiance was clean modern-and casual. No restrooms. Staff was nice.

The artisan pizza here is fantastic! It definitely feels like it's from scratch as advertised. The staff was super friendly. There is a small dine in area but I did takeout. The crust on the pizza was other worldly. I'll definitely be going back and sharing more about this gem.

As a fan of the plain cheese pizza, I had to call the restaurant to ask if they make them since there isn't one listed on their menu. The good news is they do, the friendly person on the phone explained that they figured they didn't need to list it on the menu given all the pizza places around here make them. I sort of get and don't get this logic, but doesn't matter, they have it and that's what counts. I also asked how much it costs, $13.99 if you are wondering, then ordered one for pickup. The pizza was 12" across and tasted okay. The cheese to sauce ratio was good but left little room for the cornicione (the crust edge around the pizza). Overall, the crust had a nice bite, crisp and sturdy. I probably won't order another plain cheese from here since I prefer one with a more substantial and pillowy cornicione. That said, the pizzas actually listed on their menu seem more artisan and I can see how tweaking this plain version would make a good base for them, so if you like quality toppings on your pizza, definitely give this place a try. Also got an order of the Signature Meatballs, which consisted of 3 large meatballs served in a red sauce, for Mr. Pickypants. He said they were tasty, would rate them a 7 out of 10.I will be headed back in the near future to check out the pasta dishes and will provide an update then...
