Chapoquoit Grill

Cape Cod


At the northwest side of town, this place makes excellent wood-fired pizzas loaded with everything from artichoke hearts to whole baby clams. The nightly fish specials are big draws, too. Expect to wait in line in summer, but it's worth it – with the same owners and the same chef after 20-odd years, it's stood the test of time.
