A Selection Of 26 Appetizers
<L2>The new menu is extensive; the appetizer menu alone lists 26 items including grape leaves,calamari rings, garlic bread and three varieties of potato skins. Several appetizers may be ordered in "medium" or "large" serving sizes, with prices adjusted accordingly.
For example, a medium-sized order of fried clam strips is priced at $4.99, while a large-sized portion is priced at $6.95.

A "Moulton's Specials" list includes "Chicken In The Basket,"[$8.50] a sliced steak on garlic bread sandwich [$7], and "Chicken Souvlaki Deluxe" [$6.50].
I ordered a small Spinach Pie/Greek Salad combo [$6.50] from the salad menu. A good-sized pastry filled with spinach was served on a plate with a Greek salad smothered in crumbled feta cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives and onions. Salads are accompanied by garlic bread.
The salads are also offered as small, large, or family-size portions. Choices include a "Moulton Special Salad" with bacon, chicken, egg,, cheese,lettuce, tomato, red onions, cucumber, olives and green peppers [small, $6.75], a Cobb salad with lettuce, tomato, onions, green pepper,olives, cucumber, turkey,egg and American cheese [small,$5.50], and an Antipasto salad with lettuce, tomato, onions, olives cucumber, green pepper, pepperoncini, ham, genoa salami, pepperoni, and cheese [small $6.50].
The salads are generously sized.
My supper companion ordered ziti with meatballs from the "Dinner Entrees" section. Dinners from that menu section are served with garlic bread and salad. The tasty ziti entree was served as an extremely large portion and the garlic bread was deemed flavorful.
The bill, which included coffee and a soft drink, totaled $17.09 including the state meals tax.
Dinner entree choices include spaghetti or ziti served with diners choice of red or white clam sauce, meatballs, sausage and peppers, mushrooms, meat sauce, or sauce with mozzarella cheese. Prices for the spaghetti or ziti meals range from $6 to $7.75. Additional entrees include lasagna [$7.75],manicotti [$7.75], shrimp and broccoli ziti [$9.25], and shrimp parmigiana [$10.50].
The menu goes beyond these items to "Sauteed Specials" that include chicken stir fry [$10.75] and chicken broccoli in garlic sauce [$9.75], as well as seafood options listed as "From The Deep Sea" and a vast selection of "club" and traditional sandwiches.
The menu does not list any dessert items.
Moulton's Pizzeria could not be described as a "fine dining" restaurant. It is a family-fare restaurant with an affordable menu so extensive that it is hard to imagine a family who would be unable to find something for everyone.
