Stone Hearth Serves Pizza with Style

Needham is known for its variety of restaurants and we at Patch want to turn the spotlight on some of your favorites and some that you may not be as familiar with.

In this new weekly feature, we’ll be offering some insight into local eateries, not just in Needham, but also in nearby towns like Dedham and Wellesley.

To kick things off, we’ll be focusing on on Great Plain Ave.

Originally opening in Belmont in 2005, Stone Hearth has grown under the tutelage of co-founders/co-owners Christopher Robbins and Jonathan Schwartz to include locations in Cambridge and Needham. As the name implies, Stone Hearth specializes in pizza, using high-protein, organic flour to create its dough.

Stone Hearth is open seven days a week, serving lunch and dinner.

Patrons can choose from several house pizzas or create their own. Additionally, specialty salads, flatbread sandwiches and baked pastas can be found on the menu. Executive chef Michael Ehlenfeldt also serves up a variety of vegan, kosher and gluten-free options.
