Stopping by after an early evening meeting, we opted to put together something to avoid cooking dinner at home. Unique gourmet cafe food in a unique cafe setting (a hallway) - evenings especially - cook books to peruse totally blew us away! Oggi delivers something entirely original for whats left of Harvard Square - value. Their hamburger - best of Boston - blows away the Casablanca's at half the price. Fresh ingredients, imaginative combinations and proper cooking offer wider choices on their limited -non-pizza- offerings. WOW ...will we be back .... one of few reasons to come back to Harvard Square.....if only to try the pizza...along with the best salads. OGGI ROCKS! The rest of Harvard Square? Cover it. Close it. Send it back to Malden. Build a new Square around OGGI. read more

I don't know why people keep talking about the pizza. The pizza is good, if you like the crisp-tender style of crust rather than the crunchy-chewy kind, but what blows my mind here is the BURGER SPECIAL. These burgers give me a funny feeling inside. And the fries make me tingle. They actually season the meat, which is something that even home cooks don't always know to do. The bun is awesome. And holy hell the special sauce. Once I got some kind of garlic cilantro mayo and another time some kind of chipotle mayo. Laid on thick. Maybe it was even Miracle Whip because it would not be toned down.... I'm getting tears in my eyes right now. Some kind of awesome cheese. Lettuce, tomatoes. Comes with fries with yummy seasoning. Not every burger has the magic mayo; once I got a special which had salsa and avocado. Still the best patty out there. I've been a Bartley's fan for years, but this is hands-down the better burger. Get the special!!! read more

After reading another Yelper's review of the Oggi burger special, I just had to go try it. Oh my god, what an awesome burger! The fries are also awesome! I watched the expert chef there dropping the fries at exactly the right time so that the burger and fries would be ready at the same time. I forgot what kind of mayo-based sauce it was, but it was great. The extra sauce that leaked out of the burger was a nice dip for the fries, not that they needed any dip. I also went to buy a ball of dough to take home to make my own pizza. That's only $3 (plus tax), in case anyone's interested. read more

Oggi Gourmet is the type of place that more or less met the hype. I'm glad I checked it out. The turkey sandwich was absolutely great. You know it's a good Cambridge/Boston place because it received a Best-Of award (I think 2004... so yeah, several years back). I went with four other people, and each ordered something different. Everyone gave thumbs up. A downside is that certain items are not allowed to go with the half-serving sandwich / soup combo, so just be aware of that. Probably best for take-out as there is limited seating. It'll get crowded really quick. Even though I went with several people, it's better to go with 1-2 other friends max. It's a tight establishment with a limited number of seats. WARNING: Be wary if you're a tourist in the area and reading this. Your GPS will likely freak out. There was an entrance on the inside and Parking? You're joking, right? read more

Located in a nice , vibrant environment. The first word that my friend used when we got there was "Cozy", Yes, despite a college environment , it feels very cozy. We can sit outside the store on the walkway which gives a more social feel to the experience. And BTW, they have the best hamburger. I have eaten a lot in NY but they are my top one, when it comes to hamburger. read more

I love Oggi because it is indoors, it takes credit cards, the pizza is FANTASTIC and very reasonably priced; one slice is pretty sufficient and the crust is really crisp and full of flavor, I can get a variety of coffee or tea drinks, and the place is very low-traffic at the times that I go, and hence very clean. The music creates a great ambiance for the cozy little spot. The products that are offered are high quality (full-leaf teas and artisan potato chips). As a Harvard student who eats at irregular times, I am constantly frustrated at the dirty atmosphere that haunts many of the popular joints in the square that offer cheap and reasonably fast food. When I want something quick, I'm stuck with either the dirtiness of ABP, the cash-only constraints of Noch's and Felipes, and the $6 minimums at Qdoba. (And the kinda small burritos at Boloco.) It's also a much better coffee meeting place than the overtaxed Starbucks in the Garage or Peet's, both of which are constantly mobbed and the people who work there are just trying to rush you out. Also, a $5 monday pizza is a total steal. I feel like I'm living in the early 2000s. read more

First time trying oggi's it's a great change of pace from the typical northeast style pizza the tomato basil and garlic slice is full of flavor and complimented by a soft crossiant like crust also had the spicy roast beef sandwich was also very pleased def reccomend eating here read more

OggiGourmet - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

One of the best pizzas I have tried in Boston. The dough that they use for their pizzas is ridiculously good... lordy lordy. The unique texture of it and how well it ties in the marinara, cheese, and toppings altogether allows my palate to go on cloud 9. It is crispy yet soft enough to chew and mix in with the other flavors, rather than the crust breaking apart or even scraping the roof of your mouth. Also, another great alternative to their 'za are their burgers. The way they cook their patties and assemble their burgers reminds me of those burger commercials... coming out perfect every single time. Not to mention they have great specials. They have burger of the day which includes fries for only $6. Also, their $5 "large" basil pizza on Monday evenings is phenomenal. It's not like those hot-n-ready $5 pizzas, these Monday pizza specials hold up to their name like any other pizza that they sell there. My friends and I usually take advantage of this almost every Monday after class, the value is so great that you can't help but feel like you are stealing from them! read more

This place is the worst shocked at high reviews. The food is terrible kitchen dirty and the manager/owner so full of himself. Never will go back! read more

Great tastes .. great all year round at any time. Service and atmosphere add to the experience. Monday night is $ 5.00 pizza night - definitely worth going. Do not miss out. read more

I've been a fan of their pizza since it was located in a small kitchen in Jamaica Plain, and continued being their fan when they were in Boston. They were easily accessible for me when they were there, now I have to make a special trip to get the best pizza in the USA. The cherry tomatoes, roasted almonds and goat cheese are divine! As are all the other ones. I did try a pizza at Baba Louies somewhere in the Berkshires and that was insane too. It had coconut, shrimp, pinapple, feta cheese and sweet potatoes....now that was one yummy pizza too read more

The jerk chicken was ok but if you eat at Oggi you need to get the pizza... the sesame infused crust is awesome no matter which topping you get - I got the pepperoni pizza. read more

Steve the owner is awesome ! I go there very frequently! I work at the barbershop close by and they never disappoint!

Pretty good pizza! My rating may increase as I try more menu options, but the roasted eggplant pizza was pretty standard. Good crust, okay flavor combo. Was a little too oily for me read more

The best cheese and pepperoni slices around town. Nice sandwiches and smoothies too.

So... If you want the Sicilian pizza you go to pinoccio's, and if you want regular pizza - you come to Oggi. The pizza itself gets 5 stars, hands down. There's no local competition for this place if you like the traditional style. The dough tastes heavenly. Pizza isn't too greasy, or else I wouldn't be eating it in the first place. The minus one star is for lack of speed. Also, if you get any sandwich, they load it up to the point where you could never fit it in the mouth. I spend the next five minutes throwing away turkey, lettuce and avocado - what a waste. Otherwise everything is great. read more

This is my favorite place for a quick slice of Pizza in cambridge. That said, the atmosphere eating in is akin to a mall cafeteria, so don't go here expecting anything else. The chef of this Pizza place is creative and very friendly. There are often unique daily pizza flavors available. There is just some unexplainable wondrous taste to the pizza that I cannot explain well; I think it might be the sesame that dots the crust. They cater well (and people enjoy their pizza, due to the many unique flavors) read more

There was another restaurant outside where I originally went in. My experience was so bad that all I cared to remember was that it was yellow. Doorman was rude when we walked in and cashier yelled saying bathroom is for customers only. When I asked for a croissant, and inquired if it was made with eggs. The lady threw it away saying I'm wasting their food.. when I did not even touch it. So when we went inside, I found Oggi. The employees were polite and very helpful. I first thought the sandwich was overpriced, but the combination of the grilled sandwich, and fresh cheese and vegetables sunk into my taste buds. One of the best vegetarian sandwiches I've ever had. Right before we left, they apologized for not having fries which come with their sandwiches since it was very early and have us chips for free. The only thing you'll see my brother jump to is to the sight of chips ;) Must eat place and worth the price. read more

It's basically in a small mall across the street from Harvard University- just off the T station (red). Straight out of the "old days" - commune college food that isn't all vegetarian-- great. Has paninis, fresh juices, burgers. Good quick meal. read more

OggiGourmet - juicing humongous carrots, Granny Smith apples and Ginger... - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I love this place! This little shop has a great business model. They are very good at what they do: The grilled pressed caprese and Oggi Reuben are juicy and rich in flavor. Daily lunch special ranges from pork lion plate to grilled salmon. Their Oggi burger is a divine as well and they do change the toppings daily. I have ate at this place for many times and I have never been disappointed in the quality of food. I personally do not eat pizza often but the waiter did recommended the pizza specials for me at a ridiculous low price. I guess it is good news for pizza lovers, so check it out :) read more

This is my favorite pizza! The spot is hard to find and closes early, but I still love the pizza, and the crust is everything! I found the place 7 years ago... and I still think about this pizza. Their salads and sandwiches are also great and creative read more

I was hungover. I was hungry. I went to Oggi for a spicy roast beef sandwich. I was disappointed. I didn't have any sort of grandiose expectations for this place, especially since I went there without even Yelping it first (shocking, I know). But my supposedly "spicy" roast beef sandwich wasn't spicy at all. The lettuce was slightly brown and wilted. And the fries that came with it were soggy and clearly hadn't been made recently. What's saving OggiGourmet from a one star review? A couple of things. Despite being a little on the bland side, my sandwich was decently sized and stuffed with plenty of tender roast beef, which is just what my ravenous tummy needed. The workers were friendly and service was fast. I think my big mistake was ordering a sandwich instead of the pizza that everyone is raving about in their reviews. That'll teach me to try a place without doing my Yelp research first! read more

Raising my 3 stars to 4 stars after trying their $5 medium tomato basil pizza on Monday night. Before that, I'd only had individual slices, which were kinda soggy. But last Monday, our pizza was beautiful. I especially liked the doughy crust. I know some people don't prefer it, but I love when crust is slightly doughy and chewy. Anyway, this is an absolute steal for quality pizza. Four stars! read more

Overpriced. Under delivered. $9 for a curry chicken salad sandwich on a half pita that was light on filling and flavor. Wanted to like this place but after my third unsatisfying experience -- won't be going back. read more

When I moved to Boston and began my quest for decent pizza, I heard many rave about Oggi. Aside from the fact that they all BUTCHERED the name of the pizzeria (which is also their fault for choosing an Italian word that is clearly too difficult for the average American to pronounce), the pizza was also almost apalling. Clearly, no one here has had proper pizza. Coming from NY, my expectations are pretty high, but even so this pizza did not come NEAR my standards. I always knew Boston didn't have the best pizza, but I was successfully able to find edible slices at a few places. After trying Oggi I felt completely ripped off. I'm not sure if it is a different dough recipe or maybe the different water, but the consistency of the bread is outright awful and gummy. The sauce is flavorless, sweet at best (reminiscent of ketchup) and the (lack of) cheese didn't help. The slices are expensive if you ask me, especially for what you are getting. I also really dislike how their daily special slice always has a wierd name that does not describe what is on the pizza. You have to go up and specifically ask what toppings are on it, and so far the staff has never been compliant to just tell me without giving me a hard time. Like I should just KNOW what toppings go on a "singing in the rain". Bad pizza, bad service. I think 2 stars is generous. Update: I came back to try to give Oggi another chance (as I was already in Holyoke and it was pouring rain outside). I had a worse experience this time than I did last time. This time I tried the basil and garlic classic slice (sorry I can't memorize the unlisted toppings for your weirdly named pizzas, Oggi). Though the basil and garlic added some flavour that the slice desperately needed, the service was just awful. We waited an extremely long time for them to just warm up a slice of plain pizza. I wandered up and down from the tables to the counter many times with no luck. Finally one of the people working there asked the guy in the kitchen if they had my special slice ready, to which I responded that I did not ORDER the special slice and just wanted a plain one. Then when it was finally ready, they didn't even call us up to get it but rather let it sit on the counter until I got tired of waiting again and decided to check. The pizza was so not worth it. And why is it that Oggi doesn't offer a menu with the names of all the pizzas and the toppings list? Sometimes I wonder if they just make it up as they go that morning... This is why I changed their generous two star rating to a lonely one. read more

So I was fortunate enough to work on the construction for their current location and the two brothers that run the joint are nice an pleasant as can be they made a habit of bringing food down to the guys and I've been coming back ever since. Grab a muffin for breakfast they're made fresh daily, the breakfast sandwich options are always top notch as well as any other sandwiches or pizza options. My biggest regret is that haven't tried everything yet but I've never been disappointed with what I've gotten and they when I do try everything they always have a new special pizza or sandwich of the day to try. You won't be disappointed stop on by an say hi to Steve read more

pizza was just ok and the Caesar Salad was not edible. Old and stale lettuce. I am not picky either. I got them to go. When I got home I discovered the disgusting salad. I called them and asked for my money back and they said no. No thanks Oggi. I'll boogie elsewhere. read more

The pizza here is delicious. The salted crust is a nice touch. The sandwiches are also pretty good, but not earth shatteringly delicous. They come with fries which is great. Fries aren't the greatest in the world, but do the job just fine! What I'm not fond of is their customer service. Several times when I've placed orders, I've been met with confusion when I go to pick it up. They'll often have no clue what the order was and will leave me standing there while they help other customers. read more

I was in a rush, and just got a slice of the specialty pizza of the day, and it hit the spot. the crust was unusually crispy, not as thin as is fashioonable today, but just right. A few leaves of basil, very good mozzarella, what else do you need? service was fast for lunch. read more

The daily pizza specials are out of control. So delicious.

Just had lunch at Oggi's while on our first day of vacation. Absolutely, one of the best turkey clubs that I have had in quite sometime. The jalapeño potato pizza slice was delicious! Great spot for a quick bite.Friendly service as well. I will be back! read more

Put Ragu on a napkin and sprinkle some cheese on top... It will be better than this pizza.

I love this place. SERIOUSLY! I love it! I almost always get a cookie and coffee for breakfast here. I honestly have yet to try something here that I didn't love! The staff is stellar! The crust on the pizza is amazing! The bread pudding when they have it is awesome!!! GO GO GO GO GO!!! read more

I'd rank this place above health insurance and discounted tuition on the list of reasons I'm glad to work at Harvard. Everything they make is fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. Steve and his motley crew are worth the price of admission alone. I have yet to try their teas or pizza, but the sandwiches, burgers, salads, and smoothies are the best hidden gems hiding right in plain sight. read more

My go to place. The most delicious pizza and sandwiches steve makes with his home made bread! Super friendly and clean. The coffee is good and they are happy to give suggestions if you arent quite sure. Local business I'm happy to recommend. read more

This place was recommended to us on a site listing some good spots to eat in Cambridge, but I was not particularly impressed. The food was fine, but not amazing, and the location inside the student center feels kind of like a food court...not the best ambiance. read more

Update - I had really great service here today and an excellent cappuccino. Oggi is another local spot using fabulous George Howell coffee.

2 points.... Digiorno's and ragu pizza sauce.... Let me pontificate... GF saw this on Phantom gourmet so we decided to try it. I being from philly and not finding one good pizza here in boston yet. We headed down orded the 5$ pizza special and the sausage pepper and onion pizza we pick up and immediately have a slice This pizza is exactly like Digiorno's pizza fluffy crust with no flavor and actually sort of gummy .. like undercooked. Yes Digiorno's, the kind you get at the supermarket frozen Too much basil, cheese was sparse. The sauce.. nonexistent adn no taste. So much so we went home and actually dipped the pizza in Ragu pizza sauce to give it some flavor Seriously you people are on crack of you think this is good pizza. Phantom Gourmet you owe my GF $18.27 for her paying for this crap and another $3.99 for the ragu pizza sauce we had to use. read more

Went here for the $5 Monday pizza deal...Really good pizza, the crust definitely makes it!! I had to wait about 20-30 minutes, which was annoying but I amused myself by watching all of the Harvard students interact with one another read more
