Delicious drinks, friendly, attentive staff, and great friend chicken sandwich. It’s a little dark where we were sitting but otherwise love it here.

Efficient and Great Dinner service and cocktail drinks. It’s near the T stop and on the town line of Medford/Somerville.

A neighborhood hidden gem? A surprisingly good restaurant with hearty, delicious food.The Detroit style pizza was unique and the corner crust is absolutely to die for!Furthermore, the grapefruit tequila sour had a cinnamon flare that ingeniously balanced the bitterness.Why not 5 stars? Perogi’s were only okay, they were oily and not crispy. As for value, the bill was around $80 for: 2 mains, 1 app, 1 soda, 1 cocktail and a 20% tip. Slightly more than anticipated but the food and drink were very good.In all, 4.5/5. Definitely try it out!

Pretty mid, but maybe they had an off night, or maybe something’s up with my taste buds.Pizza, the reg with sausage / peppers / onions: undersalted dough, underseasoned sauce, forgettable toppingsCaesar: bland dressing, undersalted, and who wants to eat raw kale? Maybe that last one’s on me for not reading close enough.Gelato: ice cream so hard you could cut it into pieces. Gelato has a softer texture. It’s possible they just didn’t let it warm up enough.Wine, Montepulciano: Quite nice, paired well with the pizza.Atmosphere: gray and cold vibes, I was expecting a lot more warmth with a small weird-shaped building like that. At the two-top, there were no hooks for bags or coats and no backs to the seats, so we were sitting on our coats and bags were on the floor.

Weirdly great neighborhood bar/restaurant. Specifically go grab their fried chicken sandwich and their avenue cobb salad with sweet potato fries. On Wednesdays, also get a side of meatballs. Ignore their cocktail menu.

I came for the pizza and it did not disappoint. I ordered at the bar which was nice with good service. A beer later, I walked out with a couple pizzas which everyone enjoyed.

Reintroduced me to Detroit style pizza and I'm so happy for it!Love this local place. Great food outside the pizza, but always a go to for me!

Came here with 8 people. Ambiance was lovely and the service was good. Unfortunately the food was rather disappointing. I ordered the caeser salad and the chicken wings well done. The salad was ok but the wings were bland and not at all well done. They were just boring! One of the women ordered the fried chicken sandwich. It looked good but when I tasted it I was quite disappointed-again very under seasoned.

First time trying Detroit-style pizza and it was really good here. We got the Bacon Chicken Ranch and the amount of toppings was perfect. Really good the day after as well. We also got the potstickers, which were good but overpriced. Great drink selection and atomsphere. Would definitely come back!

If you're not sure what to get, I recommend the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza or the grilled cheese plus! The staff is so sweet and the drink options were amazing! One of the best places to go in the medford/Somerville area.Parking: It's across from the ball square T stop. You can only park on the street if you're a resident.
