Worcester Pizza

Pizza in Worcester is as natural as anything. Fortunately, with places like Wonder Bar, Corner Grill, Blue Jeans, and Flats every style, price, and topping combination is at your disposal. A restaurant that actually opened May 2010 that has been gaining steam is Pepe’s on Franklin street. Their Italian dishes are second only to their pizza. Whether wanting the Four Cheese Pizza (goat cheese, Gorgonzola, fontina & mozzarella), the Firecracker (buffalo chicken, cucumbers & bleu cheese), or their simple Siciliana (mozzarella, oregano & olives) thin crust (with air bubbles) their variety will bring you back a second time.

Imperial Lamb

Once discovering Thai food in Worcester, it can be very difficult to stray from the alluring flavor of the Pad Thai. Between the noodles, chicken, and shrimp it is notably a staple of Thai. Escaping Worcester briefly tonight, a few yards into Shrewsbury, I found myself at The Thai Place (yes, the name is pretty straightforward) being tempted by something other than the pad thai—the Imperial Lamb. Besides being a great cut of lamb (with bone), the seasoning and grilling—combined with the standard “no thrills” steamed thai veggies—came together perfectly to offer a suitable alternative to the pad thai. Moral of the story: if you stray from the known enough times, at least one of those times you’ll find a suitable alternative.
