Excellent pizza. Honestly for good, old world, Italian/NY/Boston style pizza Denly Gardens, along with Pizzeria Regina, and Ernesto's are the places to go. Denly Gardens has probably the thinnest pie around MA, that rivals the thin pizza of NJ or CT. Denly Gardens' pizza has perfect cheese to sauce ratio for that awesome orange NY slice appearance.
The crust is crispy but with some tenderness, again very similar to a NY slice. The sauce is vibrant, with Greek or Sicilian oregano added. The cheese has that perfect NY slice grease which is an indicator of nice fatty mozzarella that is cooked long enough to oil off. The dough seems like a same day or room temp ferment dough. they use paper plates which I'm impressed by.
All in all, this is one of the best pizzas around. Sadly, there are not many good Italian pizza places around with deck ovens, but Denly Gardens keeps the tradition alive. I'd give it a 5 star, but like figure skating or pizza reviews, I never award 5 stars. Denlys knows how to balance a pizza out and I love the cornmeal on the bottom of the pizza, along with some nice browning. Very good waitress and staff; very friendly and helpful. Also, good water, which is rare in Weymouth. -

Excellent food-pizza!!! Came from NJ and visited. The cheesy bread and pizza was amazing. Loved the crispy bottom of the pie. Onion and mushroom pizza was amazing as was the salami pizza. Love the old school atmosphere inside. I will definitely return there when in the area. Bravo!

Denly Gardens is one of those places where you could drive by it a million times and think nothing. It is what you would call a hole in the wall or a sleeper. That said the food is incredibly good and unique.
When I was young we first started visiting Denly Gardens and forever I have gone back. Today I was out with some out of town clients and was able to take them. They loved it.
For them coming from Texas where everything is a chain they loved the old New England feel. Today our pizza was cheese and vegetable. Both came out hot, perfectly cooked, with the vegetable one have plenty of toppings. The cheese was that ooowy gooey consistency that means it is the perfect temperature to cosume.
I was so happy to be able to share this with my clients. I suggest you try it and you will love it. -

This place got high praise from a coworker. I put off trying it, but then my favorite local pizza place went on vacation. I was having people over, and pizza is hard to go wrong with.
Keep in mind, their naming conventions Are a bit different. Medium is the smallest size offered, followed by a large and a "monstah".
Ordered a medium Sorrento pizza (with chicken) and a tossed salad.
Sorrento pizza was mostly good, but there were a couple execution errors keeping it from being perfect. The crust was thin and airy (hand tossed too from the looks of it), but still sturdy enough to hold the slice. The toppings... good amount of chicken (large pieces too), and the tomato was nice. In terms of the pecorino, I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
Well, the basil and garlic are ingredients where I know exactly what to look for in flavors, and this is where the pizza fell short. I could taste it in bites here and there, but not throughout.
All in all, very solid pizza... if that was it, I would have given 4 stars and gotten on with my day. But then there was the salad...
Can someone please explain to me the aversion to actually taking a knife to the leaves? Why are they provided in such incredibly large chunks? There was also some lettuce (in fairness, very little) that had spoiled.
If I were to put in three words what this place lacks, it is attention to detail. Putting basil and garlic on the pizza consistently, taking a knife to the salad and perhaps then noticing the spoiled lettuce.
I wouldn't mind giving this place a shot with another pizza, but with other options around and my usual place opening back up, I don't see this happening in the near future.
