As a NYer, I’m m always reluctant to say that non-NY pizza is good-this pizza is very good! Perfectly crisp, thin and the correct sauce to cheese ratio. Can get 2 slices and a glass of wine for $14-unheard of in Boston! My go to when I’m downtown and looking for a quick bite that doesn’t taste like cardboard (D*minoes). I recommend!Kid-friendliness: Kids could probably fit in there, not a lot to f room to sit though!

The worst pizza! I’ve had frozen pizza that tastes better. We had a margarita and an aloha. Both were undercooked which caused the toppings to fall off the moment you picked up a slice. Both pizzas tasted identical: as in they had no flavor whatsoever. The sauce was so tasteless my daughter didn’t even notice the pizza had sauce. I couldn’t even finish a slice. Truly disappointing after seeing all the glowing reviews.

Great pizza. It's a small place so seating can be challenging, but it's worth the wait. Service was good too. It's been a long time since I had great food and friendly, competent service at the same restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza available

If you are looking for a truly unique and authentic Boston-Style pizza, you have to give Dirty Water Dough a try! It is one of the best slices I’ve ever had, hands-down.Dirty Water was originally an ode to Boston’s polluted Charles River. Pizza makers and residents alike turned to using beer to make pizza- given the water was too polluted to drink.The pizza here is top-notch. The dough is made using their in-house, Dirty Water IPA. They also hand-stretch their dough. The dough is super thin, yet crispy. It isn’t too heavy and it isn’t too airy. It is JUST right.Dirty Water has a solid selection of unique, “speciality” pizzas. The cool part: each location has unique offerings. If you’re more of a purist, they do have all the classic/traditional options. They will happily make any pizza into a calzone for a small up-charge.They have a generous selection of additional ingredients to make your pie exactly how you want it. Their traditional dough is egg, dairy, and nut free. They also offer gluten-free options and vegan cheese!In addition to pizza, they have a solid selection of sandwiches, salads, and a huge selection of in-house, bottled beverages. We added a few of their craft beverages to our order. The lemonades are phenomenal and come in glass bottles. You must add one (or multiple) to your order!Given this was our first visit, we decided to go with a classic: Pepperoni. Our pie was made with shredded mozzarella, house red sauce, pepperoni, and Romano cheese. Toppings and cheese coverage was on point- no skimping here. No issues with toppings or cheese sliding off.The tough decision was choosing the right size. They offer two options: 12” or 18”. From experience at most places, 12” is typically meant for a single person. That said, we went with the 18”.The pizza was absolutely ginormous. I smirk a bit thinking about how the delivery folks fit the box into their car. The pizza was delivered piping-hot and it was in perfect condition- no issues with cheese or toppings sliding around during transport.The pepperoni was plentiful and the sauce was just right: not too sweet and not too acidic. I am very particular when it comes to the sauce on my pizza. The pizza dough itself was incredibly thin, yet crispy.The slice can easily be “folded” and eaten like a NY slice. Despite being so thin, the crust easily supports the cheese and toppings without flopping on you. I typically am the person to toss the crust. Not here! The crust is incredibly light and goes perfectly with a side of their house-made ranch. It is genuinely the best I have had, it is well worth the small up-charge!I look forward to ordering from Dirty Water Dough company again. I am originally from Chicago and we take our pizza seriously. This is one of the best slices on the East Coast. Easily the best slice I have had since moving to Boston!My only recommendation would be is to offer a “middle ground” between the 12” and 18” sizes.We ordered the 18” and could only have two slices each before we were stuffed! The slices are ginormous! I wish they would indicate on their menu how many slices come in each size pizza. We would’ve likely gone with the smaller 12” and added on a fresh salad. I am sure others have encountered this when the pizza arrived!The slices are HUGE. Luckily, we will have left-overs for lunch tomorrow! I look forward to ordering here again and on the regular! I cannot wait to try their “Mediterranean” speciality pizza next visit!If you have a craving for a Boston-style slice, you have to give Dirty Water Dough a try! You won’t be disappointed. I wish I had tried it sooner! My new go-to for a solid pie in Boston!Vegetarian options: Small Selection of Vegetarian Pizza.Solid selection of salads.Dietary restrictions: They offer Gluten-Free Pizza and Vegan Cheese.

We drive over 40 minutes once a month just to come here. Pizza is so good. Specially pizza sold by the slice. Steak and cola is our favorite! Restaurants seating is quite limited so be prepared to stand or share a table if it's busy.Parking: There is a garage next to the Nike store that is valet and 20 dollars to park. It's the best one we've found so far.Wheelchair accessibility: Not handicap accessible

Busy pizza shop on Newbury! Very limited seating but I like that they offer both slices and full pizzas. The BBQ chicken pizza was one of the best pizza slices I’ve had in a while. The crust is thin and crispy but the flavor was amazing.
We had a fantastic visit here, during a visit just before Christmas. The staff were very helpfull with our choice of Pizza slice and more important. Our drinks selection!!

This dasher there today simply was standing there for quite 10m right in front of the employees when he decided to ask staff about his order , the lady shouted “I’m on my break , ask somebody else” very rude way… and then she starts making fun and laughing with this other guy that works with her right in front of him. Being professional is a thing now a days and also respect was definitely lacked at this place definitely wouldn’t Recommend. Anybody that steps into a business should be treated equal.
