sausage ricotta: our favorite! All the crusts were nice and thin and slightly crisp, this one had a really good sauce/cheese flavor and ratio. Maple bacon cheddar: the sweetness was so lovely and the bacon pieces are kind of thick. Could've had a bit more chili flavor. Mushroom and onion: the corn sauce was a bit of a surprise but I really liked it. Broccoli rabe: our least favorite but still good. I think the broccoli pieces are just kind of big and unwieldy and it definitely doesn't taste as good when it's colder. The owner was so nice and a lot of regulars came in and he knew them by name! Will definitely be back to try others like the kung Pao chicken one soon. read more

Gave them a few tries at this point and sadly not impressed besides with the topping creativity. What makes the awesome sounding pies worse is that the execution does not seem to match the concept. I've had the kung pao, roni and a special that had chicken and collard greens on it amongst other things. All just were shadows flavor wise of what you would expect and for the price it did not justify it. For example the kung pao lacked the tingling depth of true sczehuan with chicken that was rubbery. The collard greens on the special were plain as can be. The basic roni was nothing to write home about (I mean it's pizza so it's not gonna be bad). Crust doesn't stand out and 2/3 times was way underdone even after requesting well done. Feel like could find a similar pizza for 7-10$ cheaper read more

Generous New York style slices. A little on the saltier side, but great if you're just needing that specific kind of rich pizza

Great place to get some pizza and/or a drink! Got the kung pao chicken pizza which was so good! It's fast casual here and the staff is really nice read more

My friend gets pizza from here every year for his birthday. I always love it! It's become my go-to in Somerville.

Really cool spot stopped in to grab lunch for the kids on the go wanted to buy the entire menu, what a cool concept. Super fresh ingredients and an amazing staff!! Def a new regular at this spot, they make everything from scratch and the prices are to cheap for the superior quality! WoW read more

Small slice of cheese for $5.40, very average pizza. If you are going to charge that much you must give a monster slice.

What a neighborhood gem, this is!! We moved to Davis Square over a year ago, and this is our go to pizza spot. The pizza is STELLAR. Best basic pepperoni around, but the specialty pies are always incredible, as well. That being said, this is a "pizza" place but the kale Caesar is excellent, the fried chicken sandwich (weekend special) is amazing, and they make GELATO! The mint chip is so fresh and so so good. No artificial flavors or ingredients. This place is truly the essence of what makes Davis square such a wonderful food centric place. On top of being great quality food, the staff are always insanely friendly. Like insanely! It feels like home. The owner is frequently there, serving up customers with the rest of the staff. Really love this place. read more

I don't usually give 5 star ratings but WOW dragon pizza unreal ..I highly recommend the margarita pizza along with a hail Cesar salad and a homemade mojito. A bit pricey but totally worth it. I will be back for more! Well done! If you're looking for a real authentic Italian pizza with the freshest ingredients this is the place. read more

We got half maple bacon half broccoli rabe. It was delicious! I especially loved the chunky crunchy cubes of maple bacon, and the combo with the fresh sauce, cheese and scallions. The broccoli rabe was a white pizza- garlicky, with some chili flakes on top. & They have homemade gelato! We had a new almond flavor that reminded me of cinnamon-y apple cider donuts. read more

I tried Dragon Pizza because of David Portnoy -- not because I'm a fan of that disgrace of a man, but because I wanted to prove him wrong. I'm also not a huge fan of parm, and thought Dave was overexaggerating, but he unfortunately wasn't. You really have to like parmesan on your pizza if you want to enjoy a slice from Dragon Pizza. If you DO (like my partner) then you're in luck! My partner raved about the pizza all night. I will say, their garlic knots were out of this world! Crispy exterior, soft and fluffy interior -- reminded me of focaccia bread! I think I'll give Dragon Pizza another chance and try one of their specialty pies... read more

Pizza is amazing. Had the maple bacon cheddar, sausage ricotta, and cheese. Cooked to perfection, crust was crunchy but not hard, good flop but not falling off, delicious flavors. Absolutely recommend. read more

While on a pizza crawl, sampling slices from every pizza joint along the red line north of the Charles, Dragon Pizza was by far one of my favorites. Although the slices were likely sitting out for a short while awaiting their next customer, the bacon scallion pizza was nearly unbeatable. The crust was fluffy, not too thick, crisp beyond belief, and robust with balanced flavor. The sauce was perfectly matched by the cheese and even further enhanced by the sweet bacon (with a slight teriyaki flavor) and cut by the freshly chopped scallions. Most other pizza places charge less than $3 for a slice. Dragon's slices weigh in at about $5, however, the quality far surpasses that of any $3 slice in the area. I can only imagine how amazing a fresh, full-sized pizza from here might compare. I'm looking forward to trying more of their pizza creations! read more

When I first moved to Davis Square a year ago I tried Dragon Pizza and I really wasn't a fan of the pizza. Fast forward to now, they are on of my fave pizza spots around Boston! They got the crust right finally! I've only ever ordered slices in-store, so no clue how a whole pie is. I usually order a slice of cheese and a slice of pepperoni. I also ask for it to be extra hot, so it'a reheated a little bit longer and the crust gets a nice crisp to it! The slices are New York style and they aren't too thick, nor too thin. Usually minimal flop. The cheese slice is a three cheese recipe and it's quite tasty. The pepperoni they use is an artisanal 'roni that is sort of shredded kind of and has a really interesting flavor, it's almost sweet, but also salty. I thought it was bacon the first time I tried it. Slices are cheap too so this is such a solid spot to pop in and grab a slice or two. Dragon is definitely a must-try for slices if you are ANYWHERE near Somerville! read more

Great fun pizza flavors in Davis square. If you're looking for something a little different (maple bacon pizza, corn mushroom pizza, etc.) and HUGE, Dragon is the place to be. I love using the slice app to order pickup - it's always ready on time and the staff is always pleasant. Will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

We had spent the day touring Boston and looked forward to a nice evening in our air BnB. The sausage and ricotta pizza was out of this world! My friend loved the cheese pizza which we added mushrooms. If you like thin crust, this is for you! And, they deliver! The delivery was right on time. Great pizza, and good is from a jersey girl! read more

Came here after hearing some reviews about it being NY pizza. It was a quiet Wednesday evening and pizza was ready in 15 min. It was definitely much more NY like than most places but something about it was different. Not in a bad way though! The pepperoni was good, which we got on half of it (& the main reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. They charged us the same as a pepperoni pizza even though we only had it on half. So we paid $5 for a few slices of pepperoni) They have help yourself lemon flavored water if you're eating in, which is nice. We will be coming back again! read more

I'm struggling really hard to write this review because our experience was so bittersweet! I'd say it's a 3.5 right now but honestly the sky is the limit for potential. First things first, look these guys know how to cook and they can make some really good dishes BUT their craft still needs to be fine tuned... it's like a lot of raw talent with a lack of direction. Some of their items are ridiculously delicious while others completely miss the mark in an attempt to create something trendy/hip. Unfortunately you're really left at the mercy of their menu which seems to change often...a lot of their specials that you see on social media or this site won't be there, they go pretty quick. They're still new so again they can only go up but honestly I hope they find their bread and butter for what to serve. Anything they make with red sauce is worth trying however we didn't see a lot on the menu tonight with red sauce. I love the creativity behind their pies but it would be really interesting to see their executions on some classics. My wife and I went for dinner tonight and had one slice of the Sausage with Ricotta an easy 4/5 very robust with a good balance, one slice of Maple Bacon Cheddar which sounds amazing in theory but honestly didn't blend well a forgettable 3/5 with the cheddar overpowering the rest of the ingredients, one shrimp kebab probably the best thing we ate 5/5 lots of flavors & great texture, one meatball kebab second best item 4.5/5 something so simple but crafted so perfectly but finally came the disappointment...the heart breaking disappointment, one whole Ben's Mushroom Pizza that was unequivocally not what we hoped for... a whimpering 2/5. I get it, sometimes part of pushing the envelope and doing something creative means going to extremes but for me the mushroom pizza was way too dry and salty. The extra globs of cheese pushed it over the edge as well and had me wanting to down a gallon of water to wash it out. I really wanted to love it because I love mushrooms, mushrooms on pizza , mushrooms in pasta, mushrooms with Asian food, mushrooms in soup, anything mushroom! But even with my soft heart for fungi it was so hard to eat compared to the rest of the dishes we had. I'm not sure if the sauce was dried up or if that's just the design of the pizza...but I just wouldn't/couldn't order this or recommend it. I could write on and on but I'll try to wrap it up, honestly these guys are a great addition to the area with great potential but they need to hone their craft more. Maybe I'll love it more as I try other parts of their menu but so far it's been up and down. I want to love it because they can get certain items so right but unfortunately I just can't overlook our first experience filled with let downs. If the owner is reading this my wishes are... 1) Focus on that sauce! Whenever you guys do these sauces (especially the reds) they're to die for. I understand not every pizza needs it, I can appreciate a good white pizza but seriously don't be afraid to sauce it up! Pizza is supposed to be easy to eat and comforting not dry and forceful. 2) Expand your menu! It's clear to any pleb that you can cook so add some more nuances or special rotations. It's already interesting seeing a pizza shop doing kebabs but with your skills I would love to try a pasta dish or something of that nature maybe only as a daily special so you don't lose the roots of the restaurant. 3) Have some form of scheduling or ability to find what the specials are, it sucked not being able to try the prosciutto pizza. Also didn't see any BLT or Kung Pao either. I want to know which pizza represents who the chefs at Dragon really are, what's your style, what're your favorite ingredients? Overall just go try it, it's obvious they are great cooks and there's a certain crowd that loves anything they put out but again, for me, I am left wanting more...my review is tough but it's because they're so good that I know they can do even better. read more

I ordered a simple cheese pizza for delivery. Food came fast but I was not impressed by the pizza. I found it to be limp/undercooked in the middle while the edges were fully baked. I'm not sure if it was due to too much sauce but it was definitely not what I would expect of a NY style pie. read more

The pizza we got was literally inedible like the toppings and cheese all slid off it wasn't cooked in the middle and the slices were cut huge so just made a huge mess. If you wanna listen to nirvana blasting over a shitty slice of pizza this place is for you read more

My boyfriend and I met Charlie and the extremely cool staff at Dragon Pizza last night. I had read reviews prior to deciding where we'd eat dinner and I was dying to know who the poised, friendly owner was who very clearly loved to meet and chat up guests - while we waited for our patio table, we had drinks and played "guess who the owner is". ANYWHO, the drinks were amazing. Matthew, who was new he told us later, was very nice and he and the bartender/other server, were super knowledgeable and helpful when it came to the cocktails. Craft cocktails on draft! AND they're actually good. I got the pink margarita and was introduced to Cappaletti which added a hint of bitter and citrus to my margarita while also keeping it super balanced - I highly suggest the marg. My boyfriend got the Strawberry bourbon smash cocktail - UNREAL. I might have had a little drink envy, but it's fine. After about 15/20 minutes, we had ourselves a patio table. We knew what we wanted to eat - since getting a few slices was an option, we went that route because everything sounded incredible. Based on reviews I thought we'd love the maple bacon one the most, and don't get me wrong! It was incredible. Thick chunks of bacon and a chili maple syrup, it kind of tasted like a bonfire in the best way. But our favorite, hands down, was the sausage and ricotta. So much ricotta goodness in every bite mixed with the sausage flavor was just incredible. ALSO, I can't forget to mention, the slices are HUGE And the crust is sourdough and thin and crunchy and supportive (!!!) I hate a floppy crust. Charlie (the owner) ran our food and I asked him if he was the owner, as I had guessed earlier in the night - he confirmed and said, "give me a few, we're almost out of the rush and we can have a drink!" Well, we finished dinner, he helped us settle up our tab and he poured us a round of amaro while we talked about where we were from and the greatness of this little gem in Davis Square! Whether you're looking for a quick bite to go after a few drinks or outdoor dining and drinks on a nice night, you should definitely check this place out and say hi to Charlie for me! read more

Dragon Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Had a slice of margherita that was fantastic, 5/5. But the slice of pepperoni I had was a bit too burned on the bottom, and had a lot of residual burned bits from the oven stuck on it. It was very bitter to eat. Also, ventilation in the dining area is not great. A nagging smell of smoke was in my nose the entire time I was there. read more

Without exaggeration this was the WORST experience and pizza I have ever had. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! The first 18' pizza was delivered on a bike COLD, SMASHED and the cheese and topping were stuck the top of the box. Mind you I added mushrooms and there was only a couple mushrooms on each slice on and 18'. The cheese was covered in black ink because they flipped the box inside out to paint the their name on the box, so the printed side ruined the entirety of the pie anyways. The Caesar salad came with little to no cheese, soggy croutons, and one small side of dressing which barely covered half of the salad. So I called back and they told me they would send a new pizza. Almost an hour later the second pizza arrived with just cheese and no mushrooms. I called this pathetic place back and the owner picked up, (he took the order) and as I explained I was unhappy, he cut me off and told me "Sorry you had a bad experience" in a sarcastic tone and HUNG UP! I have never seen from start to finish such lack of care of food handling and customer service. This is coming from THE OWNER. No wonder the delivery guy could care less how the pizza was delivered. Lastly, as it had been two hours since I had started this process, I attempted to have a slice to feed myself. Could barely get through half a slice before spitting it out. The sauce tasted like ketchup and the mozzarella was like rubber, the middle of the pizza was RAW. Save yourself the embarrassment of being hung up on. This place is shameful and a disgrace. WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN. read more

Pizza is really good, staff was nice. I just grabbed a slice of pepperoni, which is a little spicier than I expected. But good for sure. They had some interesting options that I'd like to try (Maple Bacon, Lemon Chicken). Ingredients were fresh and quality. That sounds like a given, but there's plenty of Boston-area garbage pizza where the ingredients taste cheap and bland. I definitely got a slice that was hot and fresh out of the oven so it was best in show. Slices are a decent size, perhaps slightly larger than average, but not by much. $4 for a slice of pepperoni does seem a buck or so over priced, but honestly if that's what it takes for quality, it's worth it. They also have gelato which I'd like to try. read more

Don't get me wrong. The pizza is yummy. But not when it's cold. Toast delivered my $65.00 worth of pizza cold and 30 minutes late. Never again!!! read more

Second time in last night with my NY pizza snob wife. We split time between Boston and Chicago, and Chicago is no slouch when it comes to pizza (no comments from deep dish haters please), but this is the only slice outside of NYC that she's ever asked for a second time. Only this visit to Dragon Pizza was different...she wants more than a slice...she wants the whole pie. Me: "You mean so that we can take home leftovers." Her: "You must be [expletive] kidding me...there will be nothing left to take home." We went with the Cheese and a bottle of red wine. The wine selection isn't large but the owner, who is a super nice guy, set us up with what I would call high quality pizza wine. Honestly, it was better wine than you find in any chain restaurant for twice the price. Somebody made some thoughtful selections. The pizza crust has a really nice flavor, crisped on the bottom, bubbles/blisters around the edge and still foldable. The cheese/sauce/dough ratio is perfect and the sauce has great flavor....not just tomato sauce. To top it all off, both times we've been in, they've were kicking a great mix of old school rock. I'd keep coming back but let's be clear about this...I really wouldn't have a choice...my wife will drag me back.... read more

Horrible pizza. No cheese nothing but sauce and a piece of Mozzarella. Not to mention i ordered a half n half with pepperoni and they where little pieces not even full one read more

PRECOVID Ok, first an apology. I walked in this joint a few months ago and walked out when they didn't have Sicilian. I turned my nose up at the medium crust NYC slices and I'm sorry for that. On a whim I went recently and had a very respectable slice of pepperoni. The service was lovely, but what really sold me? The gelato. Damn! Ostensibly made daily. Excellent stuff. read more

Dragon Pizza, I keep coming back, and your pizza keeps getting better. Did it get a little softer and fluffier? Maybe a little thinner? I love it. For the newbie, come in and get two slices. Heads up, their cheese is a little more on the parmesan tasting side. I like it. I'll tell ya what, I'd pay an extra buck for a big ol, warm side of marinara sauce to dunk my slice in. Doesn't that sound awesome? Thank you for the complimentary lemon water....mmm. One thing I'll add. I think you need a good, colorful slice on display. But I love the broccoli rabe and the thick cut bacon slice. Your Caesar salads should be bought by every customer who comes in. It's delicious and company. read more

Ordered a buffalo chicken pizza for pickup. When I got home and opened it I was surprised to see celery on it ?? In all my life I've never seen that on buffalo chicken pizza and it was not in the description of the pizza online so I was thoroughly confused. I gave the pizza a try nonetheless but was disappointed to find minimal sauce, barely any buffalo flavor and crust that was dry and nothing special. I know I'm from NY so I have high pizza standards but this was just so wrong. Wouldn't recommend (at least for this flavor pizza & sober) read more

Great neighborhood pizza! Coming from NYC I honestly have high expectations for good pizza. Most of the pizza in Somerville was mediocre at best. This place is epic! Literally the only pizza place I go out of my way to order from 10 times over. It's everything I'm looking for in a pizza in regards to size, crust height,and toppings are A+! Dragon pizza gives me pizzagasms! They also have a pretty mean kale Caesar salad. Definitely recommend if you're in Davis and are craving pizza! read more

Dragon Pizza - Kale Hail, Caesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Yet another solid pizza joint in Davis, joining Posto and Mortadella Head! This place is a step up from the average pizza take out place because it offers seating (looks like a cafe) and some upscale/atypical ingredients like ricotta and sweet potato (which was more like yam, but who cares). A few tasting notes: Their tomato sauce tastes very creamy and sweet. Their sausage is not ridiculously salty (much appreciated). Their crust is thin and chewy. Like a late night NY slice you get from the corner pizza joint after midnight. You must fold the pizza in order to pick it up. read more

3 hours for delivery, are you kidding me? Pizza was even cold when it arrived. And it didn't taste good.

I have lived in Davis Square for 6 years. Number of times I ate at the old pizza place in this location? Once. Number of times I've eaten at Dragon Pizza in the two months it's been open? Nearly 10. Why? Because I adore pizza and this is -- hands down -- the best pizza I've ever had. (I've lived in NYC, SF, Denver...and several smaller cities.) What makes Dragon Pizza so ridiculously delicious? The quality of the ingredients. Clearly, the owner puts all of his money into the food. And that's fine. Because the pizza is spectacular. The crust is thin, crispy, and chewy. The maple, cheddar, bacon is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The broccoli rabe is garlicky and delicious. The pepperoni slice is out of this world. When I asked the owner about his pizza, he told me his inspiration was the famous Portland, ME, restaurant Duck Fat. Being a bit of a foodie, I've eaten at Duck Fat (naturally), and I think the owner of Dragon Pizza achieved his goal. Dragon Pizza is the best thing to happen to Davis Square in a long time. read more

In what appears to be a common theme, I checked out Dragon Pizza because of a glowing review in the Boston Globe, which called it the best pizza in Boston. I was skeptical I have an unhealthy obsession with pizza (I keep a spreadsheet of scores for over 50 pizza places in Boston as a resource for less demented friends) and after 1 visit, I have to say I can't really argue with the reviewer's assessment (It's my new #3--and easily the best in Somerville/Cambridge) A lot of pizza comes down to personal preference for styles, so here's what you need to know. New York Style Slices Crispy, thin crust Greasy Cheesy Very flavorful Closest Boston comparison: Santarpio's My least favorite quality in a pizza is blandness, and Dragon pizza punches you with flavor. For my wife, the pizza was a little too greasy and a little too salty. For me, it was pure perfection. I can't wait to go back. Recommendation: Sausage ricotta pie. read more
