Christina's Restaurant
460 Washington Street, Route 53, Pembroke MA 02359
Early in the pandemic a friend dropped off make your own pizza kits from Christina's. They were hands down the best pizza I have ever made in my own home. I dream of that pizza. While we don't see the pizza kits on their menu currently they have a full list of half pan options that serve 10 -12 people. Perfect for a family dinner and lunch the next day. They do require three days advance notice so make your plans ahead of time to take a night off from cooking! Learn more at http://christinasrestaurantpembroke.com/cateringtake-out/
