    The Fenway Pizza
    David M.

    This is our go-to spot when we're wanting a good pizza. I love that you can customize the crust and select if you want it well done too! Though, our last pizza was not well done, even though we selected the option. It was probably a fluke ‍ If you're near Pini's and are craving a classic pizza, look no further!

    Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Pizza

    Genuinely one of the best pizzas Ive had. Wasn't sure what to expect with this but very glad that I'd ordered it. 100% order it again Also delivered wicked fast

    I've been getting pizza here for over ten years and definitely like it. Tonight after a 12 hour day I ordered my usual pizza and stopped by on the way home to pick it up. I got home and it wasn't my order. Called them and spoke to the always nice lady who often answers the phone. She was very apologetic and offered a refund or to delivery a replacement. I opted for a refund and thought that was the end of it. My phone rings a few min later and it was who I assume is the owner as he referred to the woman I spoke to as his employee. No apology from him. He actually asked me if I could bring it back to the store. What? By the time he called I already threw it in the trash from disgust as just the smell of onions makes me want to gag. He said they normally do not give refunds without the pizza returned. Any way, this place is now off my list. No apology from the owner, lacking customer service resolution skills, and thanks for the great capper to my 12 hr day. If it were my business I would hop in my car with the correct pizza or coupon for a free pizza and personally deliver it to the customer's door. See picture for onion laiden pizza in trash. One piece for the dog, the rest recycled for garbage pickup on Friday. Never screw with a man's pizza. Just for clarity, my credit card transaction was voided, so no charge, just wasted time and the disappointment of a once loyal customer trying to support a local biz.

    Their was a misunderstanding between the delivery driver and I. I selected cash tip and was told I didn't paid for the food that was delivered to me. I wasn't able to review my order and gave the driver cash 20 plus 4 dollars tip. Unfortunately I learned later that night that my card was actually charged. I believe this should be rectified as soon as possible. I will be calling in the morning when the business is open. Food was great. But I overpaid for services. Resolved Food is great

    Fact: Biggest slice in town. Dude, seriously. Fact: Free delivery! Fact: Most bang for your buck, as far as pizza is concerned. Hands down. Fiction: You're the only one who calls it Penis Pizza. The truth is, I do too. I also noticed that it's in Ball Square. And that it's next to Wang's Chinese. And Woody's Liquor. Yeah, I noticed. Did I mention I'm 12? *giggling like a school girl* (Really though, the pizza is good!)

    Buffalo Chicken Pizza

    On the day that I moved from Cambridge to Somerville, amidst the ridiculously high piles of cardboard boxes which filled my new apartment, Erick H. and I decided at some point or another to take a break and figure dinner out. Not having to energy to run to Shaw's to fill out completely empty (except for a couple of beer cans) fridge, we decided to settle for pizza. I launched my Yelp for iPhone app and searched for nearby pizza and found Pini's. The reviews were decent, and we proceeded to order a couple of pizzas and some drinks. The woman on the phone was efficient and within about twenty minutes our new doorbell rang and a delivery guy showed up with the goods. This was over a year ago. Since then, needless to say that we've repeated the experience countless times, but without the cardboard boxes littering our apartment. Mostly out of laziness, being too tired to cook, or when the weather was miserable outside. With a quick phone call and a short amount of patience, their thin crust-style, pretty good pizzas arrive. The best part: they aren't too greasy. Some of our favorites include their buffalo chicken pizza which comes with bits of blue cheese on it. For the more simple minded ones out there they still make a more than decent pepperoni one or even a plain cheese one as well. They also have a good amount of sides and appetizers that one can order with it such as their steak & cheese rolls, their mac & cheese bites, spinach rolls, spicy curly fries, and many more. Oh and they also have wings and wraps... All in all this place is a very decent pizza joint although it still has nothing on NY pizza. But that's another story...

    Pini's Pizzeria: Margherita Pizza, add bacon.
    Everett O.

    Ordered via GrubHub and it said 55mins til delivery. My food was delivered in 20 minutes, even before the "food is on the way" text hit my phone (I live close by). Ordered the Margherita pizza and plain wings with teriyaki sauce. The pizza looked fantastic and tasted fairly good. The wings came coated in the sauce, was a little disappointed because I wanted them plain for dipping in ranch dressing. The website forced me to choose a sauce though. Price was fairly reasonable for what I received, will likely order again.

Picked the Salsiccia pizza to split between us (and a poached pear and cannoli for dessert). First, the atmosphere is great! Inviting, with great views of Ball Square and the amazing pizza oven. The pizza arrived at the perfect temperature and quickly (we learned later that a pizza spends less than couple minutes in the oven due to how blisteringly hot it gets). Great flavor and composition to the pizza -- the sausage was extremely flavorful and there was just enough cheese. The dough is top notch, with just the right amount of chew! The poached pear and cannoli were excellent. Not too sweet with sufficient complexity. Very, very nice. My fiancé chatted with the staff and learned more about the location and the pizza oven (I mean, it's just too cool to not ask to see more closely). Great service, fantastic food. Will certainly return and I now feel remiss that we hadn't yet been.

The spicy sausage pizza was excellent, the dough is homemade and tastes incredibly fresh. The toppings are fresh as well, which really comes through in the flavor. It's a bit pricey, but that's fairly typical for the Boston area. Overall, we'd definitely recommend it. I believe they offer delivery, too.

    Bocelli's in Medford is a great spot with a relaxed, low-key vibe and a welcoming atmosphere…read more We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found a good crowd at the bar, but we were still able to grab seats without any trouble. Donna, our bartender, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. We asked her what her specialty was, and she recommended the espresso martini. She definitely wasn't exaggerating--it was absolutely to die for and one of the best we've had. Between Donna's outstanding service, the excellent drinks, and the cozy ambiance, Bocelli's is a place we'll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend stopping by for a drink and asking Donna to make you an espresso martini!

    Ok let me start by saying Im reviewing this based on delivery and during a snow storm... (the…read morereason for the 3 stars) I envision eating IN HOUSE would improve my score CONSIDERABLY... We were tired of being stuck in the house and tired of crappy delivery & wanted "real" food - not pizza shop food and decided despite how shytty all the delivery places have been with their practices of allowing the drivers to make multiple stops (great for the drivers - but lessens quality of food when they are making so many stops and yours is cold when you receive), I digress... we wanted real food we decided to take a chance. Mom asked for Clams Casino and who the hell even has them yet will deliver them - and sure enough we found this place - Had never heard of it before this night. Now I cant go anywhere without ordering a little bit of everything for reference, then I take 2 bites am full and then leave in the fridge for a week & then throw away, I know - not a great practice, Its just how I get down... In addition to the Clams they actually had an artichoke on the menu, you dont find them in too many places so we stocked up on all the things. OMG to start all the food was still hot, not even just warm, but hot... Portions are the Biggest, but I mean we had more than enough food. The Clams were good, Great actually, the artichoke - can you see the size of it - INSANE!!! The stuffed mushrooms were tasty but like tiny, so I could take them or leave them. next time... But tasty! THe Pizza wasnt the hottest actually and I think if it was like a tad bit warmer it would have been a 9.4 (Go Prez), but even less than hot it was GOOOOOD!!!! The pasta was good, the chicken was so flavorful and Broccoli Rabe is like my jam, and the fact that I could swap out the pasta type & broccoli type literally had me quite excited... Skip the Garlic bread! Will DEFINITELY be adding this place to the regular rotation, it was so good and will also be stopping in to try in person!

The old space felt warm, charming, and welcoming, and the food was consistently great. Since the move, we've tried giving the new location a fair chance and have visited three times. Unfortunately, the overall experience just hasn't been the same. The atmosphere feels much more corporate and lacks the warmth and character that made the original location special. Several menu items have changed, prices have increased significantly, and the food hasn't been as memorable as it once was. The biggest disappointment has been the service. During our most recent visit on a Friday night while my sister was in town, the service was noticeably poor. It felt like our server was simply going through the motions and didn't want to be there. Everyone has off days, but when you're paying premium prices for a night out, you expect at least a friendly and attentive experience. We typically enjoy supporting restaurants and are happy to tip generously when the service reflects the experience. Unfortunately, this visit fell far short of expectations. After several attempts to give the new location a chance, we've decided this will likely be our last visit. It's disappointing because we genuinely loved Posto for many years and had hoped the new location would capture some of what made the original so special.

    As someone who loves dining out--and who's Italian and has been fortunate enough to visit Italy…read moremany times--this was the meal of the year. I honestly can't think of another restaurant that captures the essence of Northern Italian cuisine at this level. Every single dish we ordered was exceptional. My advice: go family-style so you can share and experience as much of the menu as possible. The tortellini was outstanding, the pasta with the brandy cream sauce was unforgettable, and the short rib was absolutely phenomenal. Not a single dish missed, and there wasn't one thing we wouldn't order again. To top it all off, the chef came over to our table at the end of the meal to say hello--a thoughtful touch that made an already incredible experience even more memorable. I would put this restaurant up against anything I've had in Italy, and without question, it's the best Italian restaurant in the Boston area. The most surprising part?

The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, so it's a great place for date night. The Fantastic: 1. Service -- our waiter was amazing, he took great care of us. We wanted for nothing! 2.

Mussels -- perfectly cooked, big and plump, and the bread to sop up the broth was also yummy. The plates are beautiful, but I think that plating and presentation takes priority over the food sometimes: 1. Bruschetta -- this was supposed to come with a balsamic drizzle, but it was served on a wooden plate and the drizzle was tiny and thin, so there wasn't really any balsamic. The dish could have used it to help cut through the cheese. 2. Bombolone -- dry, there was not a lot of custard in the pastry, and the surrounding sauces were more decorative than helpful. We did not enjoy the mixed drinks, they were all on the sour side and watery. So I would stick with wine or beer, the wine we had was excellent. Overall, we had a really nice time and would return.
