Really nice place for dinner or really good pizza! I always get the pizza there. It’s very thin crust and really delicious. It’s a bit cramped inside and the parking is tight, but it’s a small price to pay for a great old school place.

The quintessential old school pizzeria! It's must see. Moderately priced and the atmosphere is dynamite. Classic interior with quaint wooden booths. The pizza is to die for if love thin crust.

After all these years the food is as incredible as I remember as a child. Still the same classic rustic indoor space and the antipasto salad, chicken broccoli ziti, pizza, and bread were amazing. The people who work here too are still incredibly kind, I went a while ago so I don’t remember exact names but the original owner’s son or grandson was very easy to chat with and gracious, and our server was super pleasant, even remembering some of my family from years ago. Never experienced this before to go to a restaurant I went to many years ago and still have the same experience. We over enjoyed ourselves! You can smell how delicious your food will taste when you walk in! Busy on the weekends and parking can take a trick or two. Denly’s is also cash only but there’s a little ATM on site. All still worth it!! Lovely people, delicious food, still affordable!

Best pizza in Weymouth, hands down! And one of the best I've tried, in general. Great prices, too. $15 gets you a medium size that can feed 3 people, and you can taste the quality in the ingredients. Denly's might not look like much but it sets the bar much higher than the rest.

It's like stepping back into a time machine. The atmosphere is classic, the bathrooms are frightening, but the pizza is top notch. I'd steer clear of the pasta unless you like it incredibly overcooked or don't care. Good pasta is easy to make at home, but good pizza is tougher. Come here for that, and keep coming back.
