Anyhow, as anyone from Boston/North Shore can attest, we are snobs on pizza, roast beef sandwiches and even Chinese food. Heck when I moved closer to Worcester I couldn't even find good Chinese nor roast beef.

So what I'm looking for is roast beef like Kelly's. Warm beef slices on a sesame or onion roll, American cheese, and bbq sauce.

Pizza, needs to be Italian style, not Greek. God I'd kill for a Santarpios pizza. But heck even Papa Ginos is acceptable.

Chinese, well if you are from the North Shore, you know Kowloon style. That's what I'd be looking for.

Please no haters. The food IS NOT A DEAL BREAKER. If you want to tell me to stay in Massachusetts, just move along. This is for fun and to hear what there is for fast casual stuff around the Villages. It does not matter if the food doesn't live up to what I have in Massachusetts. I'm just trying to learn more.
Piesano"s is the closest I've come to compare to Papa Gino's but never found anything close to Pizza Regina or Polcari's.

Haven't found anything close to roast beef like Kelly's or even Buzzy's if you remember them. I haven't found a Hot pastrami like any from the north end either.

The only thing I've found in the way of Chinese is one's where you sit around the fire table and get your eyebrows cinged! Nothing great take out wise in the style and taste of the Kowloon.
