Slightly dingy place but the best pizza in Boston by far. Lived here my whole life and still make the trip to Somerville

The pizza here is so good. They take the cheese all the way to the edge and the bottom is nice and crispy. It’s a big hit every time I get it for parties. A few of my friends have made it their go to spot as well after I introduced them to the pizza.

I always get it with roasted potato and caramelized onions. Highly recommend!

I’ve ordered takeout pizza from here about 5 times, it’s amazing. Big fan of a basic pepperoni. It’s bar style, good change of pace from the other pizza options in the area. The pizza has a delicious, crispy, caramelized crust. Very good.

Their gourmet pizzas are excellent and reasonably priced. I am very picky about pizza, and this has become “go to” place. I’ve tried several different ones, and I’ve never been disappointed.

Their pot roast Entrée is also excellent.

Casual, walk-in cafe with some interesting choices. Gourmet and regular pizzas & calzones as well as well-crafted sandwiches. I ordered the tuna melt which came on focaccia. I was a little disappointed with the focaccia which didn't have the zing I expected but it was a good sandwich. My daughter had the chicken pesto sandwich which did not disappoint. Note that the sandwiches did not come with sides so we ordered regular fries as well as the sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were the best I ever had. Usually, they tend to be too thin and overdone but these were perfect and substantial. Overall, a nice place but maybe not the best value after you consider cost of sides & drinks, but then again, you are in the Boston metro area.

Almost never write food reviews but ordered a meatball sub on a focaccia bread and was given 3 meatballs.. in total. 2 on one half and 1 on the other. For $15 that’s a rip off. I understand inflation but that’s wild

Their pizza is a different style than the styles I know. It's a like a crispy, maillard-reaction kind of a crust. I dunno. It doesn't go so well with veggie toppings. But the shrimp and bacon! I mean, first of all, this is the only place where the bacon on the pizza is consistently crispy.The dipping sauces are fun. Minus a million points for forgetting to include my dipping sauces 25% of the time. Check your order before you walk out.Plus, a surprisingly excellent Cubano. There's a fine line between meh and superlatives. This place leaps over that line. Stuff has flavor. Stuff has texture.

I was intrigued and wanted to try the pizza here because from the looks of the photos, it was similar to a south shore bar style pizza. This is hard to find north of the city and I was hoping for the best! I ordered a Hawaiian pizza to go. When I got home and opened the box, I was happy to see that it indeed looked like a South Shore pie! Crispy edges where you would typically see crust, and there was a considerable number of toppings on it. The flavor was there, and it fulfilled my pizza craving! I recommend giving this place a shot if you are in the area!
