3 Fools

A true Cape Cod gem! Over the past few years, Cape Cod has had a bit of a pizza revolution, and 3 Fools is right at the heart of it. They take real pride in crafting some of the best pizza on the Cape. The pies here are unique, fresh, light, and incredibly creative. You can’t go wrong with the classic cheese - the thin crust has the perfect puff and char, the sauce is bright, and the cheese tastes wonderfully fresh. My family also loves exploring their specialty pizzas, and our favorite has to be The Roquette: roasted tomatoes, roasted eggplant, mozzarella, parmesan, arugula salad, balsamic drizzle, and shaved parmesan. Absolute 10/10! We usually grab takeout, and the place is always buzzing with friendly staff. The open kitchen adds a fun energy, and there’s also a great covered patio for dining in. One of these days, we’ll definitely sit down and enjoy the full vibe - it’s just that good.

Eureka! As a washashore from Connecticut, we grew up on New Haven style thin crust pizza. We have been on a quest to find something similar here on Cape Cod. Today our quest ended as we dined at Three Fools in Orleans, Massachusetts. A slice of heaven on earth. We originally wanted to try different pies via slices but we were told the slice of the day had sold out and was no longer available. So we opted for a small Roquette pie. This is very similar to what we call a salad pie. It is full of flavor with the delicious roasted tomatoes, roasted eggplant, parmasean , mozzarella, topped with an arugula salad with a balsamic drizzle and a light shaved Parmesan. The crust was thin, the bottom crust was lightly charred and it passed the "flop" test. It was such a great experience and we will be back again. Next up...the Italian combo!

Love, love this place!!!! We ordered online for pick up, easy peasy! The wings, gyro, falafel, and pizzas are all a win! However, my favorite steak bomb pizza! We ordered twice in one week, that’s how much we enjoyed their food! All staff are super friendly and they do an amazing job keeping up with demand!

We loved our gf pizza here! I'm pretty sure it was made from dough, not a frozen crust.

Gyro was good. Margherita pizza was bad- it doesn’t have any pizza sauce, and when I asked for sauce I was charged extra?? A margherita pizza traditionally has a base of red *sauce,* and topped with the mozzarella cheese and basil and olive oil and this unfortunately was not what I was served. But the vibe was nice and there was plenty of parking and a nice outdoor area.

Excellent pizza got the firebird. It has just the right amount if heat to it. the dough is wonderful too. Also got the pasta and meatballs which I enjoyed very much too. I feel the pricing is very reasonable. Nice drink selection too the lemonade seemed home made definitely atleast isn't minute made so I was happy. The outdoor seating is nice being able to bring you dog is a bonus. Will be back again to try other pizzas. The staff was friendly too

I have had the food at 3 fools a bunch of times. It truly is hit or miss. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because I don't believe I've ever had a bad experience when the owner was present. The times I have not enjoyed it have been recently . Maybe it's the summer staff just doesn't care.They seem rude and indifferent. I know it's very hard to find good help and I'm sure the owners/ management try their best. I would recommend they find some better front end people. Other than that the food is decent.

What a great place to stop for lunch! Forgot to take pictures of the food because it was gone the minute it came out. The staff was wonderful and answered all our questions. We had the house salad with chicken, chicken Parmesan sandwich, steak and cheese sandwich, and sausage with pepper and onions. Everything was amazing! I regret not getting a pizza but I will be back to try their pizza next!

Great outdoor seating. Friendly service. You're coming for the food. That home made pasta was delicious the deep flavor in the sauce had you reaching for your next bite before you finished your last. The pizza was baked perfectly great undercarriage. Toppings to dough ratio was a bit off but it tasted great!

I had the meatball sub and steak sub. Both were a bit bland but good portions. They were prompt and courteous.

Charming and down to earth pizzeria in Orleans. They also have a little beer garden. Called in a pizza order and the counter server texts when it is ready, so a good system. While I often prefer a very thin crust, this crust was chewy and fine. Overall a basic cheese pizza that hit the spot. I will order toppings next time.

Probably my favorite pizza in this area. They were even available on a delivery app to Chatham! It arrived hot & perfect.

Not sure what was going on at this location or if it is still in business. Tried ordering online and calling this past Friday night while at the Cape and though all their social media said they were open the online option was turned off and their phone went direct to the carrier

Pizza has a lovely, crisp thin crust - delicious. Outdoor seating is very cool and pleasant.

It's been over a year and I still think about those special sauce wings. Their margarita pizza is pretty good too!

The food was excellent and the staff was super friendly and efficient. We had buffalo chicken wings and a couple of subs. Would definitely go back

Skip the steak and cheese. 3 fools buys the cheapest meat that is all fat and gristle. 1/3 of the meat in the very small sandwich was inedible.

Came here on a referral. Boy, am I glad we did. The wife and I both got the italian. It was excellent, a little messy to eat, but delicious. They chop up the tomatoes and onions into little pieces and shred the lettuce. Great dressing on it too. A winner! Very tasty. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Cheers!

Having Celiac means that gluten-free pizzas all pretty much stink. 3 Fools served the first gluten-free pizza I have liked. The only problem is that I live nearly 500 miles away, so I am not able to enjoy it regularly.

Kind-of looks like a food truck hidden in the back corner of a parking lot. Inside it's like a local pizza shop, but small and dark. I liked it. Staff friendly, menu good, food plentiful and fresh and delicious.

Best pizza in Orleans and perhaps the Cape. Call ahead to order your food and if you pay up front simply walk in and your delivery will be ready. No waiting or standing in line.

I ordered take out from here and waited at least 20 minutes in line just to order because the phones weren't working and online ordering wasn't working either. I thought the line meant this place was going to be good but it was actually the worst pizza and meatball sub I've ever had. I ordered a slice of pizza and sub and waited an additional 25 minutes for it. The pizza was so tough I couldn't even rip off the crust and it tasted like it'd been sitting out all day. The meatball sub was comical and it had the almost zero sauce and no cheese. It was basically two dry meatballs on toasted bread. I normally don't review places but I thought I'd save someone else the time and try somewhere else!!

Stumbled across this place. Inside is small and gives and old school pizzeria feel. The food was SO GOOD. We got three different pizzas. All were fabulous!!! It will definitely be our go to from now on when we are in the area.

From a few years back. Just now posting about my experience. Metal shards from a scrubber used on the fry basket in my buffalo wings. Their own admission and apology. Chipped tooth eventually broke off. No help offered for repairs and they suggested that I sue them for repairing the issue. They were aware that an employee was wrongly using a metal Brillo "sponge" to clean but did not sort it out before it ended up in my mouth. Will never go back and risk shredding my intestines. Still have the pictures and emails from my exchange with them. No malicious intent, just a fair warning about my experience.

Worst pizza I have ever had. greasy, saturated/ soggy crust under, doughy tasteless rim crust, way too much cheese, did I say swimming in grease? Do yourself a favor and get your pizza from Rock Harbor Grill (wood-fired oven)... you'll never look back. However, much of 3 Fools menu is really good (falafel, sausage, chicken parm subs; salads; desserts; etc.).... Just AVOID the pizza! Plus the service is wonderful! it's a shame the pizza is so bad

We got a house salad here for $10. It was the best house salad I have ever received to go...Loaded with lots of veggies and packed tidily in a to go not leak-able container. The service was fast from order to pick up. The server messed my name up on the order :) but minimal damage was done! I would definitely come here to order more food. Thanks for caring about vegetarians and house salads! It always makes me happy when I see a beautiful house salad since it's so simple but easy to mess up.

The place is small, but there are a few tables for dining in. Wonderful NY style pizza, great wings, cold beer, friendly staff, no attitude. We shared a meat lovers pizza , some BBQ wings and a Caesar salad. All were excellent.

We got takeout in December 2024. The pizza (rocquette) was great; and I am from New York so I understand real pizza. The stuffed shells were delicious, and the salad was great. I was very impressed, best takeout and lizza on the cape I have had so far! Tiramisu was also good. chocolate mousse was outstanding. Eggplant parm and lasagna all delicious. Takeout was thoughtfully packaged. For anyone choosing between here and Stone L'oven, this is cheaper and tastes better to me. Stone L'oven is not bad! Five stars and thank you for the dope food!!!!

Pretty good pizza, super thin crust. No frills place. So far the best pizza I've had on the Cape.

Superb service. Fresh, delicious food. Great location. The kids and I have been so happy every time we eat here. Love it!

Easy online ordering. Wings were good-sized, but just okay, nothing special. Menu describes them as "roasted low and slow 'til tender, deep fried to order," but they were not crispy. Salad wasn't fresh, more than half the lettuce was brown--threw it in the trash. Maybe the pizza is the better choice?

The food is awesome. Taste and the portion is very generous. They can accommodate GF for most of the menu. Their Chicken Parm is unbelievable and GF!! The employee are very welcoming. It's a simple place but worth it

Meatball sub was excellent. Needed a big appetite for it. Delicious and enough for easily two meals. Four whole meatballs! We have their pizzas often and never been disappointed! Nice people and friendly place. No white tablecloths just good food!

A gluten-free secret on the Cape. My wife was able to order eggplant parmesan, and they served roasted chick peas on the Ceaser salad instead of croutons. We left the cape a week ago. I should have reviewed this sooner.

So glad we can replace the Red Barn pizza in Eastham with this finer place in Orleans. They offer u every possible pizza option and it's very reasonable and punctual. Best of all the pizza is terrific even by my challenging NYC standard.

I ordered a steak and cheese sub...the sub roll was outstanding...if it hadn't been 75% of the meal...also explained to put no pickles anywhere near it...they did...I should have just gone to shaws and bought a bagel...was really disappointed...

The food here is epic! We've had their pizzas, falafels, gyros and many burgers. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Give them a try when in the area!

Here for a week and found this wonderful restaurant online. We wanted pizza and took a shot. What a nice surprise! Got a cheese, pepperoni, and margarita. Everything about their pizza was outstanding! Great sauce, cheese, and crust! Fresh ingredients and so tasty! If you like great pizza this is your place.

The pizza is pretty good. It was a thin NY style crust with ample cheese and sauce. Would definitely eat here again! They also have lots of other menu options if you don't want pizza.

If you have celiac disease this is the place to visit, I was so relieved to find a place that caters to the celiac crowd, as the owner has celiac themselves. The food was wonderful, the servings were spot on, and the flavor was great. The restaurant still has the old groto pizza vibe which is nostalgic, but overall it's new, clean and the staff are awesome! Will be back until I can't!

I have gotten many grinders from here and they were ok. But the pizza is why I gave them 4 stars. Gluten free pizza done right is hard to find and they do it right. We got the steak bomb and it was full of flavor the crust was crunchy. The staff was kind and courteous and very helpful and the atmosphere was pretty good for a small business on a busy road.

My discerning friend highly recommended this establishment. I had a lovely pizza with a nice crust and tasty veggies. It was memorable.

3 Fool's Italian Sub is so delicious! I love it made with mayo, oil & vinegar. Their soups are awesome as well - today I tried the potato leek. The pizza is wonderful and so are the wings. Everything made at this restaurant is fresh and delicious! Service is always friendly and I usually take my order home to enjoy.

Good local pizza shop ( same location as Orleans Villa) . Our family has owned a summer home in Orleans for 40 years and have always ordered pizza from this "location" and have been happy with pizza.

Yummy pizza - we had the margarita, a meat pie, and a veggie pie. It was a short wait for pick up even though the dining room was jammed.

Delicious! The pizza is great, and the pasta meals are also perfect! The service is always good too. Worth trying if you haven't been. You won't be disappointed! Cozy, local spot. Fresh, homemade food! Go!

Was in Orleans visiting family and they ordered a couple of pizzas from 3Fools and I ordered a meatball hero/sub/grinder. Being a Bronxite and raised by my Italian half, I tend to be fussy when it comes to Italian food away from New York. 3 Fools' pizza was passable (I'd love to see a Dave Portnoy video review) a 5 out of 10 but my meatball hero was terrible. No other way to describe it. Halfway through I was thinking, "Why does this taste like a dill pickle?" I went to have the other half and there it was, a dill pickle spear! Who wraps up a pickle with a meatball hero? And this wasn't any kind of Italian beef-veal-pork meatball. The meatballs were devoid of the things that make a meatball a tasty experience. 3 Fools should at least keep the pickles out of any red-sauce sandwiches. Staff was friendly, nice people, hence two stars instead of one.

Excellent food. Best steak sandwich I've Steak Bomb Subs Great. Excellent Fantastic

3 FOOLS? No, 3 CON ARTISTS more like it... For decades Yelp has steered me right with (2) exceptions, the first was in Orlando, Florida at a lousy steakhouse and now this awful place. To summarize, the pizza at 3 FOOLS is ONE STEP ABOVE grocery store FROZEN PIZZA. What a tasteless ZAH.... The sauce is red, and that's pretty much it. The crust is some form of dough, nothing I've ever come across and I've had pizza from New Haven to New Orleans . I have no idea who they paid to bump up their review stars, but they got me, they got me good. (1) pizza, (1) awful salad and (1) gyro for 50 bucks.., I should have went to Papa Gino's at least I would have known it would suck going into it. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS GASTRIC PROBLEM WAITING TO HAPPEN..., unless you like to stay awake all night while your stomach percolates loudly and you spend the next morning on the shitter for an hour at a time? Hey 3 FOOLS a bit of advice. It's Monday and your closed, do yourself a favor and hit the North End, New London CT, New Haven CT, Providence and NYC and see what good pizzas actually taste like. When you get home throw your current recipes in the garbage and start all over again.

I've been going to 3 fools since they first opened. The food is always excellent. Love the flatbread and steak and cheese.

We had pizza, a grinder, and a salad, and all were very good. We look forward to ordering from here again!

Really happy with my hotdog and my cup of chili with sour cream and sliced green onions and extra cheese on top. But I'm also going back to try their pizza! Great little local place which just added outdoor seating!

My boyfriend and I are in Cape Cod for a long weekend and stopped here to grab a bite for lunch. We both got two single slices of cheese pizza and diet cokes. Our pizza was very good. It had a very thin, crispy crust. Some parts were "crispier" than others, but not burnt or anything. The ratio of sauce to cheese adequate in my books. I appreciated that it wasn't overly greasy. The service was great - very friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our pizza at all and they brought it right out to our table outside. The restaurant appeared very clean. Prices were average. If you are looking for pizza in Orleans, I would definitely recommend. They have lots of specialty pizzas, subs, salads, gyros, and falafel as well. Two thumbs up! UPDATE: So we decided to go back for more because we were hungry after doing a kayaking tour. While I just got cheese slices again, my husband went for a chicken gyro. My pizza was as good as yesterday, although I will say it seemed more cheesy and more greasy. Crust was still super good. My husband said the gyro was very fresh, filling, and tasted like the real deal.

I brought my granddaughter to 3 Fools for lunch. The pizza was good. The service was quick.

Stopped by here after a short hiking trip near by. Ordered the Italian sub with everything and a Philly cheese steak sandwich. Both sandwiches were delicious. Wish it was a bit bigger but the size filles us up for the long drive back. Drinks were limited to just your regular sodas and fruit drinks so we skipped that and op for what we brought with us. 28 bucks for two sandwiches was a bit much but that was the closes thing near by with what we want.

Ordered a large cheese, 3 fool wings, meatball sub and steak bomb sub! All were very delicious. Wished we found this place earlier, but only stumbled upon it on our last night. Definitely will order from here again when we come back.

When I am down at the cape for the summer, my go to is the Lamb Gyro. Excellent place for pizza and subs.
