Hearth Pizzeria

Amazing gluten free options. We had a ‘build your own’ gluten free pizza that was amazing. In addition, we had the wing appetizer, which was great. Some of the best gf pizza I’ve ever had. The staff was kind and super attentive-​which is always a plus.

Absolutely loved this place when it was Stonehearth Pizza Kitchen and would frequent it almost weekly, not sure what has happened to it since then. Went in today and half the restaurant was empty, we waited about 15 mins before we tracked down one of the 4 servers to ask if we could sit down and we were told that «the line was too backed up to seat anyone.» The server who seemed to be in charge was very rude and told us it would be about 20 more mins… and walked away. After a few more minutes we asked if we could be seated and just get drinks and he told us we had to wait until someone else got up (even though there were probably 8 – 10 open tables). 4 other parties came in and never even got acknowledged so they left. Eventually we left too. I would never go back here because of how the management was working and the rudeness of the staff. It was too bad because the food still looked great but I guess we will never find out.

I ordered a small pizza for take-​out. I appreciated the patience of the woman on the phone, but when I arrived to pick up the pizza, there was a man behind the counter (not the cashier) who gave me an attitude. And once I returned home, I realized that my order had been wrong. I am a little disappointed with the overall experience.

This is the best moderate-​priced restaurant I’ve found in the entire Boston area. Well worth the drive to Needham Center. It has a family restaurant feel with gourmet quality food. Lately, it’s become our family’s favorite.
My favorite item is the meatball appetizer, it’s consistently absolutely delicious. The salads I always get are fresh and the homemade dressings have been terrific. Pizza toppings and crust are the highlight, every time.

Ordered Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and wings. Pizza had bit more salt to my taste but wings were decent.

The only thing better than the food is the staff! Really kind, charming and accommodating folks.

We came here for the first time. The food was great. The arugula blood orange salad, eggplant parm, chicken parm and pizza for the kids were all excellent. Great family place.

We’ve ordered 4 times while staying in a hotel during our house remodel. The pizza is good when fresh. The only time it was fresh was when it was delivered on a weds. Two other deliveries were an hour and half late and stone cold. The one time I pick up they forget the prosciutto lettuce topping. Inconsistency makes Dominos heated pizza cars attractive

The service and atmosphere were both great here. You can see the oven and the pizza dough being stretched right behind the counter. The Cesar salad is awesome — comes with anchovies which we had on the side.
Really, really great pizza and excellent service. Our server Brian was personable and friendly, and made great recommendations. Definitely a go-​to spot if you’re in the area, or even a destination in itself if you’re not!

Love this restaurant! I come here every time I’m in Needham and every time I do the staff is always excellent. I just had their roaster salad and it was delicious!

Great pizza, great service, great community spirit. Just ordered 2 medium pizzas. The roasted garden on multi grain was one of the best pizzas I have ever had in USA! Delivery was prompt and courteous. Needham

The server I had here might have been the worst I have ever had in my life. What should have been a quick lunch turned into two hours. She never checked on us to see if we needed refills or to ask how the food was. We had to ask a busser to find our server so we could place our order. Even after the busses talked to the server, it was about another 15 minutes before she came to take our order.
I did notice that the busser was working hard and helping out as much as she could, so I did appreciate what she was doing. The food was also pretty good, so I cannot complain about that. The service was just so bad that I do not think I could ever go back.

I got takeout pizza from Hearth. We all really loved the pizza, especially the Green Goddess. It was just a little over priced.

Normally I’m a fan of Hearth Pizzeria, which is why this review is even remotely positive. We recently got pizzas to go and were hugely disappointed. The wait time was supposed to be 20 – 25 minutes, after arriving 30 minutes later we were told it wasn’t ready. 5 minutes later they thought to check the warming tower and found our food in there. When we got it home, it was ice cold and really sloppily made.
Granted, it was a busy Saturday night, but to spend $ 35 on pizza, it should have been edible.

I really appreciate what Hearth is attempting to accomplish, by disrupting the local pizza parlor industry through an infusion of organic, locally-​sourced ingredients. With that said, the basis of this review is taste and value compared to other take out establishments.
According to my Foodler account, I’ve been to Hearth 5 times in the past year. For pizza, I’ve had the Classic Cheese, Buffalo Chicken, Green Goddess, and Sausage Pepper Onion. I’ve also had the Caesar Salad, Buffalo Wings, and Meatball Poppers for sides.
My major complaint is really the pricing compared to portion. Some of the pizzas are over $ 21. Salads and appetizers are $ 9.
The pizzas are certainly good, but they taste healthy. When going out for pizza, I’m not exactly concerned about the health benefits. I just want it to taste good and leave me feeling full.
For the wings, you get 6 per order. While the wings are good, they are on the small side for $ 1.50/ea.
The meatball poppers I ordered last night were tiny; I’d estimate 1 ounce each. There are 5 per order. They were supposed to be served with focaccia bread, which was absent. The meatballs tasted fine, but almost $ 2/​ea was outrageous. These are meatballs not oysters.
The salad is also expensive for what you get. I think $ 6 would be a fair price for a container of lettuce and croutons.
For a pizza and 2 appetizers you can expect to pay between $ 35 – 40. This will be enough food to feed no more than 3 adults.
I think Hearth will remain in my rotation because it adds a change of pace to my take out routine. However, for it to become my favorite restaurant in Needham, I’m going to need to see better portions and/​or more competitive prices. I’d also like to see more protein options on the menu like steak tips (just not at filet mignon prices).

We came by to celebrate our 11^th anniversary and we both agreed, we couldn’t have found a better place to do so! The crew was so polite, always smiling, great service, and so was the owner who came by our table to check on us!
Te food was so delicious! We had an apple pie pizza that I don’t even have words to describe how yummy it was!
Definitely making this place our family ‘go out’ place!

The food is decent to good, but a bit pricey for the serving size (personal pizza is the average size though). The service (at least at lunch) is what kills this place. I’ve tried it twice and have had apathetic, at best, service both times. Additionally, the food was slow to come out both times, so if you’re short on time definitely go somewhere else.

We got a large margarita pizza which was just okay. Way to soupy and the dough had an off taste. Friendly service and the restaurant was clean with an open kitchen.

just ok. there are a number of pizza places in Needham, always been too many to begin with. This place was quite crowded, but pizza is just ok. We got the green goddess and the cheese, both were fine. The multi grain crust isn’t all that tasty.
The caesar salad isn’t anything special.
overall just ok. sweet tomatoes is probably a better choice if you are going for that style pizza.

Hearth Pizzeria formerly Stone Hearth Pizza opened March 1^st, 2015. Baked Wings are my favorite with the home made BBQ sauce. The BBQ pizza is good eating too! Ivan the executive chef is now the owner of Hearth Pizzeria. Great food, great service, craft brews. Ivan added TV’s for those sports minded diners. Still a great family environment and Ivan and his staff do a great job making everyone feel welcome. Love the spoon and fork «H» logo. Congrats Ivan!
