Pleasant Cafe

Pleasant Cafe on Washington Street in Roslindale gives pizza its own kitchen. That means your pie may arrive before or after the rest of the table’s dinners, a detail worth knowing when ordering for a group. Toppings run from pepperoni and Italian sausage to linguica, mushrooms and anchovies. Beyond pizza, the menu has chicken Parmesan sandwiches, seafood and weekly dinners such as Tuesday’s Yankee pot roast. The drinks list leaves room for a Brandy Alexander or a Grasshopper alongside beer and wine. Takeout includes the blackboard specials, and there is free parking in the restaurant’s lot across the street. A small function room is available for gatherings of twenty-five to thirty people.
