Old-school institution serving classic American & Italian dishes
"The neon signage is a beacon for this decidedly old-school Roslindale joint, open for over 80 years. Try broiled scallops or brick-oven pizza. Pleasant Cafe is open daily for lunch and dinner." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"It’s kind of a hike to get to Roslindale from other parts of the city, but the food (and, yes, the chicken parm sandwich) at Pleasant Cafe is worth the trip. It also might have the most beautiful facade in the city. Get a mushroom and onion pizza — the onions are shaved impossibly thin, which is how onions should be on a pizza — while you’re at it. Pleasant Cafe is open for takeout." - Terrence Doyle
"Get the broiled scallops at Pleasant Cafe, and get a pepper and onion pizza too. The space is mostly unchanged since opening in the 1930s." - Terrence Doyle
"I read a profile of Roslindale mainstay Pleasant Cafe." - Eater Staff
"A long-established Roslindale neighborhood mainstay that was the subject of a recent profile, the coverage emphasized its role as a beloved local fixture with deep community roots and enduring appeal to residents." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
