Skampa was one of my first meals after moving to the city, and I remember liking their roast beef sandwich. With so many similar pizza/sub shops along Cambridge Street, I never really felt the need to come back. But I saw them open during a recent snowstorm and decided to give them a try again.
As expected, it’s a pretty standard pizza/sub shop, but I was surprised to see a few extras on the menu that you don’t always find at places like this. Things like fried seafood platters and sub-$10 lunch plates. Paying $7–8 for wings and fries or a burger and fries felt like a steal in this economy.
This time, I tried the Italian calzone, plain wings, and the steak tip dinner. Everything was fine, nothing memorable, nothing terrible. Probably not a place I’d pick over some of the stronger spots nearby, but I might come back again for that roast beef sandwich.

If you live in Boston or Cambridge this is the spot for a local north shore roast beef sandwich. They deliver a solid product day after day. Place is a beautiful thing.

Low priced good tasting hole in the wall pizza shop. The staff was amazing. Nice! Even brought my order out when it was done. Can't say anything wrong about this place

I tried the grilled chicken heaven wrap. It was delicious. Very cozy atmosphere. Warm and inviting. Prices were great. I would definitely return here any if I was in the area. Good stuff. Thank you Skampa. 5 stars.

Tried the North Shore Beef sandwich at this Cambridge location as someone who's familiar with the original North Shore versions.
While it's a decent option if you're craving this style of sandwich and can't make it to the coast, it doesn't quite capture the authentic experience.
The flavors are there, but something about the execution - whether it's the bread, the seasoning, or the overall preparation - falls short of what you'd get at the original spots. It's serviceable
if you're in the area and have the craving, but manages to be just okay rather than memorable.

Stopped by on a whim while biking through the area. The nice man taking my order gave me some recommendations. The chicken wrap I had was absolutely delicious! I will be back soon to try other items.

The junior roast beef sandwich was, by far, the best meal I had visiting Cambridge this week. Skampa checks all the boxes as a classic real-deal dining institution. Everything I hoped for and then some.
Nice large helping of pasta for only $12. I ordered Alfredo with chicken and broccoli and the guy explained what they have isn't Alfredo from cream but but from oil and I said SEND IT. Foods delicious, feels original like there's some old Italian grandma in back whippin it up. Id recommend
