“Best Pizza we ever ate!!”
Absolutely adored this spot! We were seated near the pizza ovens and could watch the cooks create our pizza with garlic, caramelized onions, house-made Italian sausage, bacon, and gorgonzola — it was incredible. The crust was perfectly bubbly with air pockets, just how we like it. Their homemade gelato selection looked tempting, but we were too full after salad and pizza. The crowd was mixed, and there was a line out the door. It was next to a jazz club, maybe the Beehive? Great place; we'll go back when we're in Boston.
