The Oven: Reviews & Ratings
Been eating here for years and never disappointed. The food is always good. Our favorites are the Mussels and linguine w clams . Pizza is delicious also!
We go here every year. Love the hot mussels marinara. Definitely best pizza in the area.
On Grand Central Avenue in the summer is an event in itself, due to the summer vacationers in this small hamlet. This summer appears to be no different, only the majority of people are masked. Surprised as we were, the area and restaurant were quite crowded. The Oven, formerly Lavallette Pizza, relocated over the winter a few blocks north. We wanted a pizza and being in the area, ended up here to our delight. We had Pizza Capriosa, a large consisting of fresh tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms and prosciutto. Excellent. Parking is always tough in the summer. The meals range from $16-$22 and the pizzas range from $13-$22. Their salads appear to be very large judging what the servers carried outside. Heather, our server, is a college student at BU and was very amenable.
