Gregory's Restaurant & Pizza Pub, Wilbraham

For 40 years, Gregory's Restaurant & Pizza Pub’s chefs have been whipping up Italian-pizzeria dishes, recently earning the Best Pizza on Boston Road award from the Boston Road Business Association. A homey atmosphere—characterized by wood-paneled walls and soft lighting—welcomes diners as they settle into curlicue-backed chairs or booths to peruse a classic Italian menu of pasta, grinders, and pizzas. Their lauded pies include traditional combinations of olives, garlic, and tomatoes, alongside more inventive creations including buffalo chicken with blue-cheese sauce. Myriad styles of pasta, from ziti to linguini, mingle with veal and clams drenched in white and red sauces, which would go perfectly with your frenemy’s white blouse.
