 Mike--Check out Stromboli's on the Newton/Watertown/Waltham line.  It's (I
 think) technically in Newton, on North Street.

 Best goddamn Pizza in Boston!

 If you don't like Franca's, you're SOL.  That's the only pizza in Waltham
 that I've found edible.  My problem with them is that the bottom of the
 crust often has a thin layer of ash, but other than that (and that
 actually isn't that big a deal) I really like their pizza.

 Decent cup of coffee near City Hall?  VietFoods, right across Main St.

 Also Lizzy's on Moody, but it's a bit of a hike.

 For pizza, my favorite Waltham place is Anna's on Main St.  When the
 tomatoes are in season, their Pizza Margherita is wonderful.  The rest
 of the time, it's just quite good.

 IMHO, Vietfoods' Pho is nothing to write home about. I like them really
 hearty and spicy hot.   I would recommend anything else on their menu -
 especially their fresh rolls.

 The consistent thing about this place is that the food is really fresh. I
 have found that cannot be said of Pho Pasteur all the time.  Also, since
 Vietfoods relocated, the prices have gone up so that it is questionable
 about going there given the ingredients and portion sizes.  Having said
 that, I will go there if I am desperate and need a fix of something other
 than subs and sandwiches.
