When I say “authentic,” I really mean it. Pasquale’s, A Pizza Napulitana, is the real deal. Pasquale’s is located in South County Commons in Wakefield, but its roots are in Italy. Owner Pasquale Illiano was born and raised in Naples. That’s where he leaned to cook and perfected his techniques. A personable and gracious host, Pasquale takes enormous pride in what he serves to hungry customers.

If you have not dropped by to sample the fare or to take it out to enjoy on the ferry, do so. Many of your fellow islanders have already discovered this gem. Every time I am there, I run into a neighbor picking up pizza to go, or sharing a pie at an adjoining table. They echo my rave reviews.
