    It was late night and me and my husband had friends over so we decided to order some pizza. We found Gaya on Yelp and after checking the pictures we decided to give it a shot! We order one XL half pepperoni and half greek. The pizza was huge! It was definitely extra large! They sliced it in 8 slices though - 12 would be perfect! Everyone loved it! The greek was delicious and the pepperoni was the right amount of greasy - not too much! Also the crust was really good! All my friends mentioned it! They said it would take 30 min and I believe it was even faster than that. The pizza arrived hot! Amazing!! We will definitely order there again!!

    I would sell my boyfriend for their Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Pizza. Seriously, it's so delicious. I usually order a large and eat the leftovers over a week's time. Due to my love of this particular pizza I have failed to try anything else from Gaya but I imagine there are other gems. They lose a star for their VERY slow delivery. This place is not far from my place but it always takes an hour plus no matter what day or what time I order. It's not worth the delivery fee. Just pick it up.

    Yummy pizza!

    I've seen this place while riding past on the bus. Been wanting to try it for a long time. Finally ordered a pizza through Seamless and it was good. Delivery guy called for directions. The food was hot. Best pizza in the area I've had so far. Look at the nice picture.

    Asking for no red onions
    Maurica M.

    This is my first time ordering from Gaya. I specifically ordered because it had good reviews on Yelp. I ordered the Mediterranean Pizza online, but I loathe red onions so under special instructions I wrote "no red onions please!" My fiancee just arrived home with the pizza and it is covered with red onions. I'm unhappy to say the least. Update: I originally gave Gaya one star based on the onion mix up. However, the pizza was delicious after I picked off the onions and given the store owner's immediate polite comment recognizing the mistake and offering to make the pizza again I'm rating Gaya with 4 stars based not only on the pizza, but also on the customer service.

    Pepperoni pie
    MK B.

    FINALLY, we have a go-to pizza place! There's a serious quality pizza drought in Somerville/Cambridge, but Gaya is filling that gap. The dough is slightly thicker, but cooked through with a crispy crust. The sauce has a little hint of sweetness to it, but I wouldn't call it a "sweet tomato sauce." The cheese is plentiful and the toppings fresh and thoughtfully placed. Overall a damn good pie. We ordered Pepperoni and Buffalo Chicken (not "Classic Buffalo Chicken"). Both were fought over until the last slice! This buffalo chicken had bleu cheese sauce (instead of tomato sauce) under the mozzarella, and this is a case in which that's done right. The chicken was unbreaded, fresh breast sliced small and flat for easy bites. I can't wait to try more from Gaya! **UPDATE! I've gotten Gaya on two more occasions, and I'm still super pleased. Tried the Classic Buffalo Chicken, Meat Lovers, Kids Pizza and Pesto. Classic Buffalo: I prefer the other style. We requested Bleu cheese on the side, and got two portions! Very cool. This style features Marinara sauce. Meat Lovers: my boyfriend liked it more than me, but I'm not crazy about meat lovers anyway! It was nice and spicy, which was a great touch. Kids: a pizza covered in mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders. Obviously it was absolutely amazing. Pesto: incredible flavors! I have never had a pesto pizza so lovingly crafted. I think there was too much pesto, since it was very bold due to the freshness and quality of flavor. I'd rather have too much than too little though! Gaya continues to impress.

    Eggplant parm sub
    Valeria S.

    I went to Gaya with the idea of getting a pizza but instead ended up going for some subs. This place is really close to where I used to live and I'm so upset that I didn't find it now when I live by Porter. It's a pretty small place with few seating and a very casual atmosphere. The menu is rather extensive and you can get pizza with a bunch of toppings (I don't think they do slices but rather entire pies small medium or large) as well as a bunch of different subs, a range of appetizers, and about three or so dessert options. I tried the eggplant parm sub as well as the chicken Caesar salad sub. I love he toasted bread they use - it's amazing and tastes really good. The eggplant parm sub was my favorite with the eggplant cooked really well and battered well. The sauce was good and they didn't hold back on the cheese - thankfully. I'm not a huge fan of subs but definitely enjoyed this one. The Caesar sub was a bit of an odd choice since the sub came with croutons. Nevertheless, the chicken was really tasty as were the greens and the Caesar dressing wasn't overwhelming. Will definitely come back and try their pizza next times since it looks and smells really good!

    Olives, pineapples green peppers and disappointment

    I order from here all of the time and I just put in order asking for a pizza with pineapples, jalapeños and bacon on the left side. I even specified that when I ordered. It just showed up I didn't get a pizza but a calzone with a bunch of stuff inside of it that I didn't ask for so I call them to tell them they sent me the wrong thing. The man who answered the phone said yeah I was going to call you okay but you didn't and also didn't offer to remake it but to make it right the next time. I'm truly disappointed in the response of whoever answered the phone and whatever it is that they made me because it's not good.

    Meat lovers pizza
    Simone T.

    I tried this place today to see if it lived up to the perfect reviews on yelp and I have to say that it does. First off the prices are great, much cheaper than a lot of the other joints in town. I ordered from grub hub and scheduled a delivery for 5:00pm. They were 10 minutes late so at first I was upset (hangry, ya know) but the driver was apologetic and threw in a free soda to make up for it! Any other delivery person I've had be late before didn't even acknowledge it so this was definitely above and beyond customer service. I got a meat lovers pizza and there was A TON of meat. I mean very generous, and the sausage was AMAZING! I wanted to eat the whole 14" myself.... Overall this was a great experience and I will definitely be ordering here many many more times.

    I held this year's birthday dinner here. I had a good impression of Coda Restaurant Group before,…read moreand this place did not disappoint. Prosciutto: The best dish of the meal. The prosciutto slices were perfectly salty, rich in fat, and smooth, wrapped around the refreshing sweetness of kumquats, the delicate creaminess of stracciatella cheese, the crunch and nutty aroma of pistachios, and topped with a smoky touch of sumac powder. It had a rich and distinct flavor profile while offering a gentle and comfortable taste. Spaghetti: The refreshing lemon and basil paired with the umami crab meat is a classic combination. Chili oil added a touch of spice and aroma, while pea tendrils provided a light herbal fragrance. The sauce was emulsified very smoothly, making it both rich and palatable, although the spaghetti itself didn't leave a particularly strong impression. Half Chicken Milanese: A large portion, perfect as a main course to share. The chicken cutlet was thick, fried to a fragrant perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Wrapped in lettuce and eaten with mayonnaise, it brought back memories of the fast food stalls outside my school when I was a child. This was my first time trying rhubarb stems. The tangy and refreshing taste cut through the richness, and the texture was like softer celery and firmer green bell peppers - quite interesting. Duck Bacon Pizza: The most highly rated pizza online, and it was truly delicious! The rich, savory flavor of the duck bacon, the succulent richness of the shimeji mushrooms, and the mellow sweetness of the caramelized onions, combined with the creamy cheese base, made it a calorie bomb, but I still felt it was the right choice. Unfortunately, the crust was a bit hard, making it difficult to cut with a knife. Cotechino Pizza: This was my first time trying a pizza with sweet potatoes, and I couldn't help but admire their innovation. The colors were vibrant, and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes paired with the smoky aroma of Cotechino sausage bits created a full yet harmonious flavor, evoking the feeling of being in the southern Italian countryside in early autumn, basking in the bright sunshine and the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest. The restaurant offered menus printed with "Happy Birthday," and the waiters provided professional cake-cutting service. Overall, a very comfortable experience.

    Have wanted to try Gufo for a couple of years now, and finally made it in for an early birthday…read moredate night. We didn't make a reservation so we ended up at the bar but I didn't mind. I got the after school snack cocktail which was very refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. We split the Bucatini Verde and it was so delicious. I couldn't even pinpoint the flavors I was eating but it was amazing. Fresh pasta and just really good flavor. We saw a dish online we wanted, but the server explained they use that pasta for different dishes and change out the sauce, so I'm glad I got to try it. We then split the Pepperoni + Vodka Sauce pizza which was good. I'll be honest I was a tad disappointed in the pizza. It was flavorful but I think I was expecting the same feeling I got when I had the pasta. It was good, but just that, good. Crust was a little burnt. I did love the vibes and pasta and it's definitely known in Cambridge for a good reason. I'd recommend a reservation if you'd like a table as it does fill up fast.
