I can think of few events in my life that have completely upended my view of the world: the birth of my son, the death of my father, and my first bite of Ruggles Pizza. A monument to the culinary achievements of man, Ruggles Pizza reinvigorated my faith in Christ, for only He could have bestowed upon us a magnum opus meliorating this algid world. If only every man, woman, and child broke bread around a Ruggles Pizza feast, war and starvation would be mere figments of our mortal imaginations. When Hell opens its ugly maw and consumes humanity, Ruggles Pizza will be the last bastion of the radiant splendor we have built on planet Earth.I have lived a long toilsome life and my days are numbered. On many occasions I wonder if God still sits in His heaven, or if He has abandoned us---left us astray to the lonesome rocks and strident winds of the world. Perhaps, He is not with us. Perhaps, we may yet see a deus ex machina---or, rather, perhaps we have built one.

This review is exclusively about the empanadas. OH...MY...LORD. They are like huge crispy wontons stuffed with the best picadillo beef mixture you could ever hope to find at a Mexican or Colombian restaurant. Chicken are great too, but the beef are just mindblowingly tasty. Everybody raves about the pizza, but I'm telling you...EMPANADAS FOR THE WIN! Also, the staff are some of the nicest people you will encounter in the course of your day. Yes, it's a dumpy place in the middle of a dumpy train station...IGNORE THOSE FACTS and GO IMMEDIATELY!

I had never even seen a shooting star before. 19 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky. But then I ate at Ruggles Pizza, and came to realize there were other things to life that can make oneself feel alive again.Indulging in the culinary offerings of this cheesy goodness was an unequivocally refined experience. The exquisitely crafted pizza, with its impeccable melding of flavors and an artfully baked crust, was nothing short of gastronomic poetry. My eyes, having been dry for 16 years, swelled with tears of overwhelming joy and appreciation for the craft of mankind. The service exhibited a level of sophistication that is rare to encounter. The ambiance exuded an understated elegance that elevated the dining affair. I eagerly anticipate my return to savor more of their epicurean delights. Without question, a distinguished five-star establishment, and the highlight of my career at Northeastern.Maybe Ruggles Pizza was the shooting star I was looking for all along...

Pizza was 10/5 and the mozzarella sticks were out of this world (see pic of happy man). Customer service was great, while waiting for a pizza to be made they offered a free slice to eat in the meantime as it was taking a while. W place, long live Ruffles Pizza and

Ah, Ruggles Pizza & Cafe—a culinary sanctum where the ancient art of pizza-making is not just honored, it's enshrined in cheese and baptized in tomato sauce. If Michelangelo crafted pizzas instead of frescoes, this—THIS—is what the Sistine Chapel's ceiling would taste like.From the moment you cross the threshold, you are not merely a customer; you are a pilgrim on a saucy journey to Flavortown. The ambiance? Think rustic Italian villa meets your cool uncle's man cave—inviting yet hip, like a Renaissance painting sporting Ray-Bans.Now, let's talk crust. This isn't just a vessel for toppings; it's the narrative arc of the greatest pizza story ever told. Crispy on the outside, softer than a Shakespearean sonnet on the inside—this crust doesn't just set the stage; it steals the show.The toppings? Imagine if the Avengers were edible and decided to assemble on your plate. An ensemble cast of flavors, so vibrant and harmonious, you'd think they attended group therapy to achieve this level of synergy.Ah, the cheese—a velvety quilt of dairy delight, seamlessly melted as if touched by the hand of Poseidon himself, conferring the gift of eternal gooeyness. It stretches not just from slice to mouth but into the annals of your fondest memories, a cheesy reel that plays on loop in your dreams.The sauce? Ah, the sauce! An operatic aria sung by a choir of tomatoes—each note a splash of tang, each chord a crescendo of zest. If love had a flavor, it would taste like Ruggles' sauce.So, if you've ever wondered what gastronomic Nirvana tastes like, walk, no, RUN to Ruggles Pizza & Cafe. Come hungry, leave enlightened. And if this isn't the best pizza you've ever had, then, my friend, your taste buds are a lost cause, destined to wander the culinary wasteland for all eternity.

Big, greasy, foldable slices in a really convenient location. What's not to love? Coming from NYC this place is much closer to what I'm used to than most else I've found.
Hidden gem with outstanding pizza! Highly recommended for sure!!
Happy Customer!
Amazing pizza, highly recommended. A true hidden gem! Especially if your looking for east coast style pizza, fold while eating!
Vivian MacKay
Great service! The first pizza’s cheese fell off it so he went all the way and served us another pizza, even though we ate the first one. He also offered us an extra drink. He was very kind. The food was also very good!
USA WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL
I was absolutely SHOCKED at how good the smoothies are! I get a few a week here now, the pizza is good as well!

This place is actually a hidden gem in Boston. A small shop in Ruggles station, you would not expect it to serve up some of the best pizza you've ever had, but it does exactly that. Tried a lot of pizza spots in Boston, upscale, cheap, nothing compares to a slice of cheese pizza from this place. The dough is thin yet chewy, and that cheese/sauce balance is done to perfection. They also give it to you in under 2 minutes from the time you ordered. Since I found this place, I've been telling everyone I know to go here. Having never heard of it, and knowing its in a train station, they usually aren't very keen on checking it out anytime soon. Once each of the people I told finally went, they immediately contacted me to let me know I was right about how insanely good this place's pizza is. GO HERE, PLEASE.
