North End Treats (B+)

This was another treat provided by my brother and his wife when I visited them last weekend.  We had a lovely family evening of watching the baby and the tv while eating some tasty pizza.

The Location

North End Treats is a pizzaria and bakery in...the north end of Boston...clever, no?  We got this particular pizza from their location in Framingham, MA.

The Pizza

The pizza itself was lackluster.  The crust was too chewy/crusty and the cheese was not the most pleasant.  I ate a couple slices of the pepperoni pizza, just for comparison, and found it to be lacking as well.

The BBQ Chicken pizza used barbecue sauce as the pizza base and had chunks of chicken and jalepenos on top.

The Chicken

The chicken was big, healthy chunks of fresh white meat.  It was hearty and delicious.

The Sauce and the Taste

The barbecue sauce at North End Treats was pretty tasty.  What really made this pizza stand out from the competition was the fiery jalepeno heat.  No other BBQ pizza has included that kind of spiciness.  It was a bold move.  If the heat had been greater, I might not have appreciated what I was eating.  In the end, I decided that the heat was just right, and the flavor that it brought was unique and interesting.

Overall

I really appreciate the quality toppings and the boldness of the jalepenos.  However, I was disappointed by the pizza itself.  I give North End Treats a B+.
