Ordered for delivery and loved that you can do half-and-half specialty pizzas so everyone gets what they want. We did half buffalo chicken and half sausage, peppers & onions. The buffalo chicken side was incredible - big chunks of chicken and plenty of sauce. The sausage, peppers & onions side was good, but didn't quite stand out as much as the buffalo chicken. read more

I absolutely love coming here--and to the other location too! The pizza is a total classic--always hits the spot and is consistently delicious every single time. The owner is such a sweetheart and always makes you feel welcome with their warm, attentive vibe. Orders come out lightning fast (seriously, blink and it's ready), which is perfect when I'm starving or in a hurry. And one of my favorite things? They stay open late, which is a lifesaver on those nights when I'm indecisive or just craving something comforting. read more

Dirty Water Dough - Large Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Such good pizza! We got a classic cheese and a meat lovers (large half and half), mozarella sticks and a caesar salad. Everything was as good as we expected. Not great to eat in at because it's small and not too comfortable in terms of seating, but it held pretty well when we ordered as takeout and ate at home. We did notice when we got there that there was a sign for large pizza + large salad get two drinks free...we had already paid for our drinks and had ordered exactly that, but when we pointed it out, they kindly let us grab two more drinks. It would be nice if they had called it out when they were ringing us up, but what can you do! It was nice that they still honored it. The pizza was so so good and will definitely be back! read more

Rough. Ordered pizza with extra sauce - pizza showed up with hardly any sauce at all. Bone dry. The garlic bread with cheese was the same - almost inedible. Ordered a large salad - arrives without forks. Asked for crushed red peppers and Parmesan - neither showed up. The food sucked. The service was just as bad. The only thing saving this from being a 1-start review was the root beer - it was really good. There are too many option in the area - choose one of them - any one of them - and you will be happy you did. read more

So I've been here a few more time recently and had pretty good sandwiches. They have all those not just standard pizza shop stuff. The pizza is not that great. Real thin. Nothing much going on there. Like I said, the sandwiches are very good and the pricing is pretty standard for what' a sandwich costs nowadays. No complaints there. My only gripe is I'm not sure is this is a sub par pizza shop or a a good deli. The pizza is not worth the trip but the sandwiches are good. read more

Staying in East Boston for a night, stopped here after watching Triple D on Food Network. I had a classic slice of pepperoni pizza and a brownie with a Dirty Water Root Beer. Delicious slice of thin crust with large slices of pepperoni, just the way I like it. Service was excellent and enjoyed talking with folks who are from the neighborhood. Plenty of takeout being picked up while I sat there, which is always a good sign. Swing by and check it out. read more

The pizza here is really good . The service is great . The staff is super friendly. The one is welcoming. Parking is very difficult that's the only draw back . read more

My friends and I decided to get takeout from here while taking in a fireworks show. They certainly seemed to have a hyped up reputation in the area. Well, first our friends ordered online and we went to do the same. About 30 seconds after they completed their order, I noticed there was a special if you bought 2 specialty pizzas, you got a free large cheese. We were ordering a specialty as well as our friends that already had and they had ordered a small cheese for our kids. Our friend immediately called to see if the orders could be combined or cancelled before I placed mine, to get the special, and they said no. They wouldn't offer her anything, played dumb, and said they'd need a manager to handle it, but they didn't attempt to do so. They at least could have credited the small cheese towards our order. They were just extremely dismissive about it. They refused to give my friends husband paper plates to take with him to actually eat the pizza. I'm not sure what the deal was with that. The pizza was extremely thin, hard, and the toppings were very skimpy. We got a pizza special that contained sausage as the main topping and you were lucky if you got one sausage per slice. That's honestly how skimpy it was. The crust was so hard, it was almost inedible. My daughter will honestly eat anything and even she had no desire to eat the leftovers we had from here. Definitely not worth the hype. read more

Absolutely terrible experience -- will never be coming back. My girlfriend and I decided to try this place today, and let me just say -- it was a complete disappointment, all thanks to the cashier. From the moment we walked in, her attitude was cold and dismissive. When my girlfriend politely said "thank you," the cashier didn't even acknowledge it -- not a nod, not a smile, not a word. Just blank indifference like she was doing us some huge favor by being there. It felt like she thought the front counter was a stage to satisfy her ego, not a job where basic courtesy matters. Everyone else working there was actually nice and friendly, so it's a shame one person had to ruin the vibe for the whole place. We overheard her bragging about how she used to work at the Starbucks in Seaport -- which happens to be my all-time favorite location. I know that store, and I can 100% understand why they probably let her go. With that attitude, it's no wonder. I'm not taking this review down until she learns how to treat people with basic human decency. Nobody goes out to eat to be disrespected. Do better. read more

This was probably my favorite lunch order from where I work in East Boston. I was surprised by the creative pizza topping combos, and I enjoyed the dough. My favorites were the Mediterranean (tomato, spinach, feta, Kalamata olives) and the pepperoni (flavorful sauce and unique long pepperoni). I also thought the steak cola was interesting. Apparently the meat is made more tender by marinating it in cola. The steak itself was cool, and reminded me of the steak in Philly cheese steaks, and I liked the combo with caramelized onions and cheese. The Gorgonzola wasn't my favorite with it, but I'm sure you can ask that it be left out if that's your preference. read more

Steak and Cheese sandwich/cheesesteak was actually really good. Great flavor, bread is nice and fresh. It could definitely have more meat/cheese inside or an option to add more if you wanted. Best cheesesteak I've had in Boston so far. read more

Dirty Water Dough - Steak and Cheese Sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Unfortunately their partnership with Uber Eats means that deliveries reach customers 2 hours after the pizza was made. Because of this, the pizza is cold, hard. I am sure it is decent otherwise, but unfortunately not tonight. Both pizza and wings had to be heated. Wings - very good but sauced at home. read more

I love this pizzeria, this one of my favorite pizza places ever. They serve a thin pizza crust with tangy delicious sauce. My to go combo is pineapple with pepperoni, it a "unique" combo I will live for (if you like Hawaiian pizza style, pls give it a shot). I have seen the bad reviews for the bad customer service but honestly I am here for the pizza be not the service. AND I have never been attended rudely by any of the staff read more

- crust is thin and crispy - can buy by the slice -they warm up your slice for you in the oven - fast - cheap - hole in the wall read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and ventured down to try some pizza. I got the half pepperoni and chicken Alfredo. I asked for no broccoli but they put it on there unfortunately. Cooked broccoli gives off that awful smell. So i had to co e it in ranch. The pepperoni was good unfortunately it was so fresh it slid off the slice and i had to eat it with a fork. I'll give them another try though. read more

Food is ok. Convenient enough location to grab some food while at work. Ordered here several times with no issues. The 1-star is for being cheated out of $10. Order paid, food not produced. No apology, no offer of refund. All I got was a cold small pizza for $25. Abysmal service, zero accountability. Will not eat here again. read more

Dirty Water is the only pizza I'll eat in Boston. The crust is that thin, cornmeal-dusted type and there are so many topping combos that everyone is bound to find something they like. My go-to is the margherita and my boyfriend loves the pepperoni with vegan cheese. They also have gluten free or vegan crust! The sizes allow for great leftovers which reheat nicely in the toaster oven. The one time they got my order wrong, they were quick & friendly to fix it. Dirty Water has my business as long as I'm in Boston! read more

OMG! I just ate the most amazing sandwich EVER! The Vermonter is pure delicious genius. Turkey, bacon, sliced green apple, red onion, smoked gouda and sun dried tomato mayo toasted on a ciabatta roll. Just try to put it down! read more

Fabulous. Fresh, quality ingredients in an area hurting for good pizza (Santarpios is trash, come at me!) The fact that they do slices or whole pies is a welcome change to the neighborhood. Update: delivery via Uber Eats was easy peasy and fast. read more

Very good pizza. Ordered a large pepperoni. HUGE pepperonis, perfect doughy crunchy crust. Looking forward to trying other items on their menu. read more

My favorite pizza in Boston. Love how quick they are whenever I order. Highly recommend the Newbury sandwich, their turkey is so flavorful. Not usually a hot turkey kinda gal cause I find turkey to be dry, but whatever they do to their turkey makes it perfectly moist and flavorful. So many kinds of pizza, crust is perfect and friendly staff. Try the dirty taco, the hulk, or the big papi pizza. Delicious Vegetarian options My best friend is vegan and has a hard time eating out, so when we ever found out that dirty water had vegan cheese and impossible burgers we were so excited because we finally can eat out together. Kid-friendliness Around Christmas time I took my younger brother in there for a quick bite and the girl put Shrek on the tv. I told her she didn't have to do that because we'd only be there for a short period of time. She told me it was fine, they have Netflix and Hulu for when kids come in with their parents to dine in. I thought that was pretty cool. When my brother and I went home we picked up and watched the rest of shrek together at home. read more

Sunday night in Boston...came in starving and the weather was cold. Who ya gonna call? Dirty Water Dough! Loved this "pie"...comes in two sizes...small & large. I chose small...definitely large enough to be shared by two. My pizza was pepperoni & mushroom. Crust was great...not too thick, not too thin...great crisp. Pepperoni was of the giant variety which was pretty cool! Ample amounts of cheese and mushrooms and the red sauce was well seasoned! I look forward to going back cuz "Well I love that dirty water.. oh Boston you're my home!" read more

Takeout Review: Tried this on a Saturday afternoon and man it brought back memories of off the interstate slices at papa gino's or a home pizza at digiornos.... translation: a last resort pizza. There is no quality in the food, nothing special to it. Although to their credit they do know how to crisp the crust besides that I could never willingly spend 55$ on two pizzas and cheese bread that is basically just a no sauce pizza... I have had bad pizza in Boston rarely and this is one of those times. What a weekend afternoon mood killer. I advise to avoid this place and keep walking til you hit Santarpios. For all the great pizza places in Boston this place really lowers the bar. If they say they have improved I'm happy to try but for now this is a absolute no go for me. read more

Dirty Water Dough - "Cheesy Bread" - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Finally a good pizza place in Eastie! (Sorry all you Santarpio fans ). I got the small veggie pizza and Greek salad. Both were excellent. Delivery came faster than expected. The crust of the dough was a good mix of doughy and crunchy. Smooth crust but was sturdy enough not to get floppy with all the toppings. Also I recommend getting the Greek dressing to dip the pizza in . I may experiment with extra (marinara) sauce on the pizza next time read more

This place is horrible! Multiple food code violations, and they constantly get orders completely wrong. Customer service is nonexistent. When addressing an issue, they always get short and hostile with their customers. I've tried to give this place multiple chances, but they will not get anymore of my money. read more

Dirty water makes some decent dough. We came here last night to satisfy some cravings and wanted to try one of the newer pizza places in East Boston. The place itself is very small with only 3 tables to sit at. It appeared that most of their business comes from takeout. They do sell pizza by the slice which is always a cool option if you don't want to purchase an entire pizza. At times it was slightly noisy when the delivery employees would come in and they would have conversations but it's a very casual place. We ordered the veggie pizza and the dirty garlic cheese bread. The dough was very thin for the pizza and because of the amount of toppings it caused the pizza to be a bit floppy. Overall the taste was pretty good, combined with the cheese, crushed red pepper and garlic powder in the shakers which gave it a nice touch. The cheesy garlic bread was more like a flatbread and didn't have as much garlic flavor as I had expected but certainly had the gooey cheese on top. It did have some fresh basil on top as well which gave it a nice touch. Overall it's a decent pizza place and I've heard good things about some of the other "dirty" items on their menu such as their fries and wings, so I'll have to come back sometime and get down and dirty with them. read more

What I love about this place is that you have the option to do two halfs for a pizza. This is great if you happen to have a mix of meat and non-meat eaters for example. However, the pizza just wasn't very good. We got a half bbq chicken and half margherita pizza ($19.50). The crust on the margherita was completely soggy and rendered the pizza basically inedible. The bbq pizza had a delicious crust, but had incredibly too much bbq sauce on it (and the bbq sauce also wasn't good). read more

Still doing good here. Steak and cola with bacon is amazing! Tried the little weird ice creams balls they sell here. I wouldn't order again, but it was different. read more

Repeatedly make my order wrong and leave items off the stated ingredients on their menu then when asked to fix it, give you attitude. Also, their menu is incorrect regarding pricing and they refuse to change it or honor the Massachusetts accuracy law, and give you the stated price employees even go so far as to tell you, it's not a big deal that you paid 25 to 30% more for an item, that's on their menu. read more

Poor service. Asked for a gluten free pizza. Was told allergen precautions would be taken. Pizza was made with complete disregard for basic cross contamination control. The woman making the order did not even communicate it to the guys making the food. I was just left with a pizza that I couldn't eat. When I asked the woman at the counter about it she seemed defiant. read more

Oh my God y'all I want to bring this place down to Florida so I can have Dirty Water Dough pizza whenever I want. This is the best pizza I've ever had. Hands down. Regina's, Santarpio's - they've got nothing on Dirty Water Dough. The crust is nice and crisp, the sauce is perfect, cheese is perfection. My faves are the pepperoni of course and the Dirty Taco pizza (add jalapeños.) The Caesar salad is also delish for when I want to trick myself into thinking I'm eating healthy. I'm not sure how I don't have a picture but I'll remedy that next time I'm East Boston. read more

This places gives Regina pizzeria a run for its money. Location is tiny but the pizza is unreal. So delicious, will be back

The best customer service. Very friendly and understanding. Love the delivery's drivers overall cool people

Order somewhere else. The employees and establishment do not care about either the quality of their product nor customer service. Their establishment messed up an allergy order of my party and then quoted us 30min for correction. When I requested that they cancel the order they said, and I quote "you could have said that from the beginning" and hung up on me. Incredibly unprofessional and horrendous customer service to correct a mistake they made. read more

The pizzas are good but the site is run unprofessionally. Many times they don't have delievery. When they deliver, the pizzas often arrive already luke warm and soggy. Last time that I picked up, they gave me a wrong order. They brush all issues off as if it is mo big deal. read more

I can't say anything bad about DW. Just quality every time. Excellent crust, as close to NYC pie as you can get around here. Prefer it to Santarpio's, albeit a very different experience and style. read more
