I had a reservation but still had to wait 45 minutes for my table. The food was good, but the service was terrible.

this place is a great representation of boston pizza. overall not great, but if you live in the area and you have nothing else to eat, the pizza will hold you over. whenever i get off the subway it's right across the street, so i get their 2 slices and a coke for 7-8 bucks. the deal itself is not terrible. the plain slices are decent. i got a pie from them, the italian sausage/"roasted" pepper/onion. crust is flimsy, with the toppings there's room for improvement. i averaged about 3 or 4 slices of sausage per pizza slice. underwhelming. the "roasted" red peppers just appear to be sliced red peppers that they put raw on the pizza and cooked. i had to open a can of my own roasted red pepper and put it on the pizza. will i come here again? probably, seeing as how they're on my walk home from the subway. will i be happy about it? like i said, if i'm feeling lazy and don't want to make food at home, then it will be fine. if this place were 2 blocks out of the way on my route home, i would probably not get their pizza.

My absolute favorite pizzeria in JP. Awesome cheese pizza, I go there once a week, great calzones as well. Love the pizza by the slice meal deals, the slices are huge. Staff is friendly and efficient. They had to close for a week at the end of August 2021 due to COVID, which I think is why some other reviewers had trouble making an order.

When I order pasta, THIS is where I go! The chicken parm with linguine...PERFECTO! The pizza wasn't impressive, but the pasta is the $#!+ I would've given it 5 stars if I've tried their other food and it wasn't so pricey, but they do give you a good portion.

Good food, good luck placing an order, 20 minutes to order apizza for pick up, then am told by the internet that pick up is not available. Gee goOOLLLlly, that was a f'n option. DUH. So then a phone call, and gooollly, no answer, mail box is full.. wasted my time, again for the last time here. TOO BAD

Ordered a caprese salad and a salmon broccoli Alfredowith gnocchi chosen as the pasta. When it was delivered the caprese salad was alright but I never got the Salmon. Instead what I got was a gnocchi plate with red sauce, sausages, peppers and onions. After calling and telling them of the mistake, the response was that they were sorry the orders must have gotten mixed up and that they will call uber to refund me. I had already done that and been refunded by uber. So basically they told me they could do nothing for me. That was disappointing. I still have to pay the fees and delivery on an item they messed up. I paid 24 dollars plus a 5 delivery tip for a salad that was 10 bucks........ Ridiculous. FYI-the correct response in this situation is to refund the money and offer to make a new one as long as I am willing to pick it up as it was your staff's mistake. It isn't a hard gesture. Will never order from this location again.

The bbq chicken pizza is a fantastic non-traditional option, highly recommended.

Classic Italian sandwich signature you Panino sub with prosciutto buffalo mozzarella basil and tomato with olive oil classic that you can’t go wrong really delicious just like I remember from the north end years ago but now available in JP

Wow, was it bad. My friend and I ordered a pizza and some boneless wings. They screwed up the pizza order, but at least it tasted OK. The wings were inedible. I had 2 and passed. My friend's mother and sister couldn't stand them as leftovers. This is a simple issue to fix. You have a lazy cook. Get rid of them.

I was disappointed, I ordered seafood platter the only thing l was served was fish , shrimp, onion rings and fries. I thought seafood platter is supposed to have Clams and Oysters too. The food and service is so good; but I felt like I was short changed. I didn't get what i deserve for the money.

Ordered a Buffalo chicken pizza, and everyone who ate it ended up with food poisoning/stomach trouble. Definitely will never eat here again. Pizza itself was just ok.

Great food, nice staff, can get busy at times but worth it. Been going through the menu and I've enjoyed everything so far. Greek salad with grilled chicken is my go-to item, but their pizzas and subs are great too. Maybe a bit on the pricey side, but glad to have a place nearby that cranks out fresh and high quality food consistently.
