Customer Reviews

I've never liked plain cheese pizza but this place was fantastic. The crust is the thin and crispy kind, and the cheese was the just-right amount toasty and lightly golden. I have quite a few pizza shops around my apartment but when I'm in mood for one would rather drive out here.

I am gluten free so unfortunately couldn't try the pizza. However, it was the absolute worst fomo because this pizza looked proper. Not soggy, just hot and crispy as you can see from the pictures. It's very rare to see pizza stand up on its own! Not to mention, it was also a great price. If I wasn't celiac, I'd go here once a week.

Top notch pizza that's consistently prepared in under 20 minutes. These guys are very good, a hidden gem on Mass Ave. It's boxed hot too, making it all the way home still piping hot
