Where to Eat Pizza in Sandwich, Massachussetts

Sandwich Pizza House

Pizza picnics at the beach are a wonderful part of summer on Cape Cod. Nothing could be easier than calling one of our local pizza shops, picking up the pizza, and heading to the beach for an easy and refreshing meal. A pizza and a can of soda or bottle of water and you’ve got the perfect meal with a view. Sandwich has several pizza shop options for you to choose from. In Sandwich Village there’s the Sandwich Pizza House, Emelia’s Pizza and Italian Specialties, Sweet Tomatoes, and Lelli’s Pizza. In the southern portion of Sandwich, you’ll find Surfs Up Pizza & Seafood and Domino’s Pizza

The Sandwich Pizza House is a traditional pizza shop with a counter, lots of booths that easily seat six, and a really large, big-screen television that you can  see from any of the booths. While Sandwich Pizza is kid friendly, it’s never overwhelmed with kids. So grown-ups can definitely enjoy a beer with their pizza and watch the game and get caught up with all the other folks hanging out on there. (Matt and I usually get a large pizza with sausage, green peppers, onions, and olives – very delicious!)

Sweet Tomatoes Pizza

Sweet Tomatoes Pizza serves thin crust Neapolitan pizza. You walk in and the kitchen and counter is own your left and a bar and tables with television is on your right. It also has a beer and wine license so you can enjoy an adult beverage with your pizza. It’s a bit more upscale than the Sandwich Pizza House.

Emelias Pizza and Italian Specialties is a cozy little bistro with a few  tables for you linger and enjoy your pizza. The Caprese Pizza ($11.95 or $16.95) is a customer favorite featuring fresh mozzrella prosciutto, basil, tomatoes, olive oil and garlic. There is no television and they don’t have a beer and wine license.

Surf’s Up Pizza and Seafood feels more like a family restaurant than an pizza parlor. It’s very large and serves many more dishes than just pizza. There is an extensive list of beers and wine available. You can also schedule your child’s birthday party there. In fact they have a fun feature where kids can make their own pizza at the table. While the kids parties are usually in their own corner of the restaurant, there’s no wall separation, so if you’re there while the parties going on, you’ll know. And some times if you’re in the mood – these kinds of festivities can bring out the child in us. There are several televisions available to watch.

Emelia's Pizza

Price of a Cheese Pizza I think the best way to compare the price level in a Pizza shop it to look at the size and price of a small and large cheese pizza. Lelli’s Pizza isn’t open. I’ll update in a few weeks after they’re open!  Of course all prices are subject to change without notice. The phone numbers are included if you want to order.

Cape Cod Geography Lesson You’ll also notice in the information below that the Surf’s Up Pizza is located in Forestdale and not Sandwich. Forestdale is an unofficial village of Sandwich and some of the GPS and mapping software have adopted it as it’s own entity. So to get the location on the map to show up correctly I had to input Forestdale and not Sandwich.

    Seafood Sam’s Restaurant at Sandwich Marina

    Seafood Sams Sandwich, Falmouth, Yarmouth

    Seafood Sam's at the Sandwich Marina

    Seafood Sam’s is my favorite place in Sandwich to get a seafood platter. Whenever I’m out walking on a summer day, that’s what I end up saying at least half a dozen times. Tourists are always stopping their car and rolling down their window and shouting, “Do you live here. Where do YOU eat.” And it’s the truth. For a reasonably priced seafood meal and fast service, eat at Seafood Sam’s. Do I only eat there, no, but I eat there alot.

    Tak a look to the left and you can see the back of the Seafood Sam’s in Sandwich, with the outdoor balcony. This is the perfect, family friendly seafood restaurant.

    (True story. My mom passed out from dehydration after a colonoscopy and was rushed back to the hospital by ambulance. After spending the morning being rehydrated, she was sent home with orders to eat stuff like tea and toast. Not my mother! I asked her what would taste good and she said, “Fish and chips from Seafood Sam’s.” So that’s what we did. Not what the doctor ordered, but she enjoyed every mouthful.)

    You can call ahead and have your meal waiting. Seafood Sam’s in Sandwich is located at the Sandwich Marina and Canal Recreation Area. So you can grab your meal and go sit on a bench overlooking the marina and enjoy the scenery and a great meal. If you decide to eat at the restaurant, there is no table service. You walk in and place your order, they give you a red lobster gizmo and it beeps when you’re order is ready. Don’t worry if there’s line. These guys are service pros. It moves quite quickly. While you’re waiting you can scope out a table. If the weather is good there’s an outdoor balcony.

    Seafood prices change every day with what the fishermen catch. So I can’t quote you a meal price. But generally Seafood Sam’s prices are as good as they get.

    In addition to the Sandwich location, you’ll also find Seafood Sam’s restaurants in Falmouth and Yarmouth. The views in the other locations aren’t as good, but the food is. Sometimes they close in the winter for a while, so it’s best to call in the off-season and see if they’re open – 508-888-4629. If you need a street address for your GPS, it’s 6 Coast Guard Road, Sandwich, MA.
