Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

The food here is awesome! Unfortunately the service is terrible. It's seat yourself and don't wait for a a waitress to tell you that. They'll just hover by the computer and awkwardly stare at you. Once you place an order, they then toss it down at you and disappear until a glass or dish has been empty long enough to make you wonder if anyone will pick it up. Thankfully, it's a small room. If it was a normal sized restaurant you'd be waiting forever. Too bad considering the limited menu is amazing.

Given their lakeside location and pretty good food, this place has great potential, but some poor service execution is holding them back. I visited on a Tuesday night around 6PM with my daughter and grand-daughter. There was one waitress covering both inside and outside. The place wasn't packed, but there were too many tables seated for one Samantha. Embers does provide good value for the prices they charge. A Chardonnay and a Blue Moon were $5 each, and entrees are in the $12-$18 range. We ordered 1/2 salads (a nice option) Eggplant Lasagna, Spaghetti and Meatballs, and chicken fingers for the 7 y/o. Then we waited. After about 20 minutes our salads finally arrived, and Samantha apologized because all the food was coming at once. The food was all pretty good, but note it's "Spaghetti and Meatball" (singular). My house salad had hardly any dressing, but Samantha was too busy to ask if we needed anything after delivering our food. Upon finishing I asked for the check. It took about 10 minutes, then the owner (I think) finally came over to take the check and my CC. Embers would probably get a 4 from me if they had the right amount of waitstaff and fixed their kitchen timing.

I grew up in the NYC burbs so I grew up on awesome pizza and italian and my friends around here call me a pizza snob, so temper my review with that. The pizza in this area, on average, is pretty poor (ducks). Having said that I have found a few places here and there that are good enough, this was *not* one of them. Sorry guys, I wanted it to be awesome but was disappointed. Pizza is serious business to some folks, but around here it seems like it's treated as fast food. So the bar is already low, this was average for the area.

The reviews about bad service initially put me off going here. But it's new and I said what the hey. Glad I did. They now have a sign that says please seat yourself. My waitress was huddled by the computer when I entered but came over immediately upon seeing me enter. Our food was a little slow as we were the only ones there but I'd rather it be slow and correct than fast and incorrect. I had a burger, ordered it medium, and it came out medium! That rarely happens so when it does I take notice. My fiancée got a Cuban that looked good as well. We will be back to try the pizza So if I'm happy why not 5 stars? I was pleased but not overwhelmed. Once I try the pizza I'll update the review accordingly

Very disappointing experience. It was our first time here as we have heard good things about it. I don't live locally but do enjoy trying new places when I visit. Anyway...locale is nice. Stopped in for lunch today around 12:30. It was quiet...only a couple of diners. We did not order pizza because we were not in the mood for pizza. It actually looked good and we regretted not ordering it. I ordered a cheeseburger, cooked medium with fries. The cheeseburger was cooked well done. Flavorless. Hard pieces of unmelted provolone cheese on top. Fries looked good but were dry and not tasty. My mother ordered the buffalo chicken wings. They literally looked as though they had been boiled and then tossed in flavorless buffalo sauce. Not crispy at all. She ate one. I ate one. They were baaad! One of my kid's ordered a meatball sub. It wasn't terrible but it was nothing special. Best I can say is it was edible but bland. The house made chips were tasty. My othered son order the fried mozzarella which was the only thing any of us found to be good. Our server was pleasant but didn't refill drinks or really check in on us at all and it wasn't busy. A fly kept buzzing around our table and had she checked on us I would have asked her to kill it and to bring my son a new rootbeer because whatever she had brought him was not like any rootbeer I have ever tasted. When server finally came round to the table I told her specifically that our food was not good and I wanted the rootbeer taken off the bill. She took the rootbeer off and only offered a tepid apology that the assistant manager was cooking today and that's why the food was sub-par. Forty five dollars for terrible food. That was two hours ago and I am already hungry. Don't eat here...and if you do, then trust me, order the pizza...

Embers is new to town, but so far it's impressive. The food is really good, pricing fair. Our server was very nice and social. Clean fresh atmosphere. Nice gas fireplace in between the dining room and the bar.

Simply put, Embers has some of the best pizza in the area, and solid service supporting it. Here's why: I'd like to preface this by saying that I have had their pizza three times, all through take-out. However, they have a multiple other types of appetizers and entrees which I can't comment on because I have never tried them. The Pizza: Texture: 6/10 Personally I like my pizza a bit less "oozy", however Ember's was only mildly oozy. Crust: 10/10 I loved the crust. Great flavor and great texture. Very well done here. Cheese: 8/10 The cheese had a really good flavor, and not too strong- just as I like it. Tasted like mostly mozzarella with some other cheeses added for flavoring. Sauce: 8/10 The sauce had fairly authentic Italian taste, but a little bit sweeter than something traditional. I was a fan. Mouth Feel: 9/10 "The inside of your cheeks are very sensitive. It's like the inside of your thighs, except with a tongue." Great Mouth Feel. The Service: The waiters and the bartender were all nice, but the pizzeria service feels a bit confused. For example, their choice to have no hostess is weird: if you call for takeout you have to enter the pizzeria through one of the two unlabeled doors and walk up to one of the waitresses, or go over to the bar. The whole restaurant seemed kind of barren, like they were going for a theme that was only half finished. I saw other potential problems too, but the only reason i'm not giving a lower rating is because this is a relatively new place- about a month old as of now. For this reason I expect them to iron out most of these service problems soon, as they gather more experience.

First, the menu is extremely pricey for the food we got and the place had a strange wet dog smell. It was twenty dollars for our two salads which were honestly a joke. I ordered the "mixer" salad which consisted of probably 5 slices of red onion a few grape tomatoes and spring lettuce for $9! Can you say rip off? I asked if I could get feta cheese on my salad when ordering it and they didn't have any so they told me when they brought out my salad they don't have feta. Nice to know when I get my meal. Since myself and my mom were still starving from our "salads" we asked if we could get some bread. At any normal restaurant usually bread comes with the meal no problem. Not here, it would of been an extra charge if we had wanted bread. Needless to say I plan to not return anytime in the future. The only positive part of this experience was our good server.

This pizza is unreal! It is the closest to homemade I have ever tried. Fresh ingredients and toppings every time.

Disappointed. Went for lunch, sat down and waited, and waited. No one acknowledged that we were there even though we passed the bar on the way in and sat in plain sight. After 10-15 minutes of being ignored, we left.
(1)Sarah P.
Went there for the first time on a Saturday afternoon at lunch time. Sat down and waited for service for over 10 mins. People were being helped at the bar, but no one came over to help us. Not even when we got up and walked out. Wish I could have tried the food.

Cool little place on lake Whalom in Lunenburg. Has some of the best pizza around! The service is always friendly and the beer is always cold. It's not the hustle bustle of any traditional restaurants. They have a few small tables outside if the weather is nice but now that falls coming and the shipyard pumpkin head is out... Those tables will soon disappear.

Ok, first off, others here are saying this is wood fired pizza and it is not. I'm sure they are saying this because the restaurant's advertising is misleading, but if you ask they will tell you it is not from a wood fired oven. The biggest disappointment for me is that they advertise Neapolitan, but it's not. Neapolitan is a very specific, regulated in Italy, pizza definition, and this wasn't even close. See brief description here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne… . You'd think a restaurant would understand the significance of this in the pizza industry before using it in their advertising. I have to give them only one star for luring me in there using false advertising. Ok, so it wasn't what was advertised, but there are lots of tasty pizza formulas so was it any good? No, unfortunately, there were many problems. The first and foremost being that the 18" pizza's we had were undercooked in the center. I should have known not to order 18" pizzas and they should know not to make them. One pizza was a Margherita so it's not like we ordered too many toppings. Also there was too much sauce on the pizza and being undercooked that made it a sloppy mess. The outer two inches were OK. (OK, as in tasty, but to be clear, not Neapolitan since they were very crunchy). Service was good, but the place was nearly empty so I can't judge what it's like when they are busy. Overall this was very disappointing and we won't be going back.

This is our second time to Embers, both in the shoulder season for lunch (one Spring and one Fall). Both times were remarkably similar. The first time we did not order pizza and I did not feel it would be fair giving a review until we had the pizza. Both days we were there were either too cold or rainy to eat outside on the cute patio, but that's okay the inside is also a great space to eat. Embers boasts vaulted ceilings with huge windows that overlook route 28 and a cute section of Harwich Port. It's a really nice dining experience. I'll focus on our last visit since it's fresh in my mind. Service was prompt and attentive. No complaints either time. Caveat being both times we were one of four of five active tables (with only one waiter). Lunch was Caesar salad and four small pizzas. The salad was surprisingly good. Very tasty with large Parm cheese shavings on top - unexpected and completely delicious. Pizzas were good, but not awesome. They looked amazing, but tasted flat. Honestly, I think we just ordered badly. We got the putanesca, buffalo chicken, meatball/pepperoni and ricotta/bacon/caramelized onion. The buffalo chicken had large chunks of chicken and not enough heat. The putanesca tasted just like putanesca - which was great for one slice but too much for a whole pizza not being shared (not their fault). We forgot to specify additional cheese on the ricotta so it was bland and the meatball was large slices - not what our son was looking for. Next time we will order a little differently and I think will be better off. I will update when we do. Side note, unlike may thin crust pizzas these held up well as leftovers. Surprisingly in fact, they tasted better as leftovers because the flavors developed. We will go back off season. Unless we really just had the off experience, I can not imagine waiting in line for this.

I thought there was a few things missing from my experience at Embers. First I thought the patio was going to be on the water, like a deck. Instead it was across the street from the lake. The patio is tiny, only a few tables. The menu was tasty. A very good variety. I ordered a dinner, and I thought it should have come with a salad. I also would have liked a basket of rolls w/ butter. The pizzas looked amazing. I wished I had ordered that afterwards. If I go back I'll be getting the pizzas. 3 out of 5 due to the patio, & no sides with dinner.
