Massachusetts Pizza Shop Serves a Lobster Pie Loaded With 7 Ounces of Lobster

When most people think of summer on the SouthCoast, they think of beaches, ice cream and fresh seafood. At Village Pizza & Ice Cream in Westport, owners Neil and Janine Cesario have found a way to combine two of those summertime staples into one unforgettable menu item.

Village's Lobster Pizza has been a seasonal favorite for the past three years, drawing seafood lovers from across the region. While Neil is often the face customers see, he is quick to give credit where it is due, saying the pizza was Janine's creation. Judging by the number of orders they sell each summer, it is a recipe that has clearly struck a chord.

The secret starts with the lobster itself. The meat comes from Kyler's Catch Seafood Market in New Bedford, ensuring every pizza is topped with fresh, local lobster that tastes like summer with every bite.

A Lobster Roll Meets a Pizza

Unlike a traditional red sauce pizza, Village's Lobster Pizza starts with an oil and garlic base. It is then topped with a drizzle of Alfredo sauce before a generous seven ounces of lobster meat is spread across the pie.

That seven-ounce portion is no accident. According to Neil, it is the exact same amount of lobster customers receive in one of the restaurant's popular lobster rolls. A light layer of cheese is added before the pizza is finished with another touch of Alfredo sauce, creating a rich but balanced flavor that lets the lobster remain the star of the show.

A Summer Specialty Worth Seeking Out

The Lobster Pizza has become part of a larger lineup of seafood favorites at Village Pizza & Ice Cream. Alongside lobster rolls, lobster dinners and lobster calzones, the pizza has earned its place as one of the restaurant's signature summertime offerings.

For customers looking for something a little different, Village also offers a scallop and bacon pizza made with fresh scallops sourced from Kyler's as well. Whether you choose lobster or scallops, it is a reminder that some of the best SouthCoast seafood is found in places you might not expect.
