Stone L’Oven Pizza Co.

Stone L’Oven Pizza in Newton’s Waban village makes hand-crafted brick-oven pizza. The dough uses only all-natural, unbleached and unbromated high-gluten flour, water, yeast and sea salt, and it ferments slowly for a light, flavorful crust. Pies are topped with Grande whole-milk mozzarella from Wisconsin, and the kitchen avoids additives, preservatives and fillers across the whole menu, not just the pizza.

Beyond pizza, the menu covers scratch-made appetizers such as hand-battered boneless wings and spinach artichoke dip, fresh salads, wraps, toasted sandwiches, and pasta dishes like mac and cheese and chicken parm. Two other Massachusetts restaurants share the Stone L’Oven name, but each is individually owned, and the Newton location runs its own kitchen with its own standards for ingredients and scratch preparation.
