    THIS PIZZA WAS SO GOOD!!! EVERYONE WAS SO FRUENDLY AND HELPFUL!!!! Great pre-Wicked movie snack. Very good meat and cheese , nice men.

    This pizza was so good it's unbelievable. I truly haven't had a better slice of pizza In Boston or at any other Otto location. My mind is blown, my insides are screaming but in a good way. My insides want another slice of this pizza pie. The tap water is great too. Great ambiance, nice spot for a first date. 10/10

    No pulled pork :(

    I've been a fan of OTTO Pizza ever since I lived in Maine for a few years. The unique flavors and thin crust make their pizzas delicious yet not overkill. It's one of those places where you can feel like you're indulging a without the dreaded overeating stomach ache. I don't delivery from OTTO for the first time since moving to Medford from their Arlington location. Reasonably priced for sure even with the delivery charge through the third part site. The standard cheese was just that -- hot, not too saucy and wonderful in every bite. Unfortunately, the pulled pork and mango pizza was a bit of a miss. I had ordered this pie thinking it was a unique riff off of a controversial favorite (Hawaiian Pizza) and was sad to see virtually NO pulled pork when it arrived. It ended up being a cheese pizza with mango slices all over it. Don't get me wrong, it still tasted alright but I found myself wishing it had been delivered complete. Nevertheless, I still love their pizzas and will for sure be giving this place another shot. * * * *UPDATE: a representative from their team reached out via Yelp and expressed a sincere apology and commitment to doing better. I was even mailed a gift card! Like I said, OTTO is delicious and I'm sure it was just a lapse in production.

    Spicy pulled pork

    Potato and bacon pizza. Spicy pulled pork pizza. Both were great. The crust was good. Not great. Toppings were good. Both small size pizzas were enough for 1 person. The only issue was delivery. Driver left order in vestibule of shared building on top of someone else's 'stuff'. This after speaking to the driver and letting him know I was coming right down. Building access instructions were entered when order was made.

The entire menu is gluten free but even if it wasn't, this place easily competes with regular bakeries. The ube brownie is dense, silky, and fudge-like. The sugar and ube are potent and attack you it's perfect for a sweet tooth though I strongly recommend with cold brew. The flavor is so sweet that I couldn't finish the block! Can easily be shared for 2 I came here for the chocolate chip cookie. Thin, crisped at the edges by the sugar, no shortage of ooey gooey chips in the middle. The line wraps around the baked goods window. I like the open concept kitchen and the service is efficient. Gives you time to see what you want and change your mind, especially if something comes out fresh. The breakfast menu stops at 11am but even their premade baguette sandwiches were delicious. Highly recommend a hot sandwich. Lastly, seating is tight but it is ample. It seems like there are waves of crowds. If visiting at a busier time, might be a good idea to have a friend hold a table while you get in line to place the order. What a great start to Boston :) Thank you!

It had a lot going on--spicy, sweet, salty...basically all the flavors decided to show up to the party at once. I liked it, but didn't love it, and after a while it was a little hard to keep going. The roasted vegetable sandwich was flavorful, but unfortunately way oilier than we expected. We wanted to love it, but it was just ok. Overall, a fun spot to try, especially if you're curious about the hype. The food is creative and has plenty of personality, but for me, it was more "glad I tried it" than "I need to come back immediately."

I haven't had a real solid burger in forever, until now. Nothing fancy, just a really good classic burger with perfect proportions ( not that smash burger stuff). Good size of meat too.

We walked into a room where the walls are covered in memorabilia and every table is labeled with the name of a famous person who has sat there, giving the space a personality that no amount of designed ambiance can replicate. It feels like a place with genuine history rather than a place performing one. The burgers are the reason to come and they hold up after more than six decades without apology. The patties are thick and cooked to order, with medium being the right call for maximum juiciness. The creative topping combinations across the named burgers give you a range of directions to go depending on your mood. The Masshole is a natural starting point for a first visit, and the build your own option is worth knowing about if you want to go a more specific route. The portions are large enough that leaving satisfied is essentially guaranteed. The onion rings are a great choice of side for good reason, crispy and well seasoned in a way that holds up alongside the burger rather than competing with it, and the sweet potato fries are a strong alternative if you want something slightly less heavy. The frappes and shakes are worth ordering if you want something to wash it all down, and the raspberry lime Rickey is a summer ready drink with a refreshing taste. Service is straightforward and efficient, fitting the no-nonsense energy of a busy burger joint that has been handling crowds for decades. The staff moves quickly and knows the menu inside out, helping first timers navigate the extensive list of named burgers without hesitation. For a classic burger experience in Harvard Square that delivers on history, flavor, and personality, Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage remains a landmark worth every bit of its reputation.

She said it was fine as long as we didn't order drinks, then seated us at the bar. We were only given drink menus. When the bartender came over to take our order, I had to ask for a food menu myself. Our seating was also uncomfortable. We were placed right next to the bar/server station. My sister got splashed when drinks were being opened, and servers repeatedly bumped into her chair while passing. We ordered the Carnivore pizza. The pizza itself was quite salty.

No. Overall, I was surprised by the 4.4 rating. My expectations were much higher based on the reviews.
