Ordered online during "open" hours but the restaurant was totally closed when I got there. There goes my $18 sub I guess.

Outstanding calzone! Peperoni slices were tasty and crispy, but I was blown away by the eggplant parmigiana calzone! So much for my diet, as I had two during the 9 days in Cambridge this trip!! read more

Awesome 3 way roast beef, with hot peppers which for some reason don't come standard at cambridge/somerville beef spots. Very fast service. The napkins are a bit wimpy and the sandwich is messy so that's a bit of a bummer. Pizza isn't so good but I'm not going for the pizza. I love this spot so much. read more

This is a no mask establishment. I'm by this restaurant multiple days a week and I never see cashier nor the cook wear a mask. There's also an unmasked individual who sits by the window (possible employee) who does not wear a mask either. Three employees in this small take out space is already tight for covid protocols. Hope this information is helpful for those who order delivery. read more

Was craving some pizza on a Wednesday night in Cambridge. Been to some of the upscale places, and not bad, but needed something closer to home. Checked out this place, and was "WOWED". Not only did they deliver to my hotel in less than 30 minutes, and not only was it piping hot, but the pizza was fantastic. Like another reviewer said, the toppings were loaded, and the cheese... Oh, man the cheese! I have my go to pizza place in Cambridge now. Just wish it was open past 10pm, but I won't ding them for that. Great pizza! read more

Primo Pizza & Roast Beef - House Special Large - Pepperoni, sausage, salami, mushroom, peppers, onion, and hamburger. - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

It seems people have issues with the pizza, but their roast beef sandwiches are superb. This unassuming place blew me away with their roast beef sub. I said wow when it was put down in front of me. A mountain of juicy, rare, warm roast beef atop super fresh, nicely toasted bread. I hadn't had a sandwich like this in quite a while. I returned for the roast beef, but tried the Super Beef form factor instead of the sub. Also great. Better than lots of burgers. The super fluffy onion roll hit the spot. Not a fan of having all the veggies diced up, but they are fresh and it works taste wise. Every bite has a bit of everything. Roast Beef + lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, mustard. Give it a shot. read more

Go to pizza or sub spot in Central Square without question. Pizza sauce is great, subs are great, calzones are great. Prices are reasonable and food is always ready on time for pickup. read more

I ordered 9 large pizzas for a catering event on Wednesday and all of the pizzas came on time, still hot, and were very tasty. The owner called me in the morning to verify the order and asked if everything was correct. The pizza options are great and loaded with toppings (especially the veggie). We had the cheese, veggies, BBQ chicken, Buffalo Chicken, bacon & pineapple, Hawaiian, and a Greek pizza. The crust was pretty good and the chicken on the toppings was a good cut of chicken. Overall 4 star because of the quick delivery, the good service and the overall ease of ordering 9 pizzas and having them all come out hot and on time. read more

If you feel like getting assaulted with microwaved slime that so obviously scrapped out of the toilets in the South Station Men's Bathroom. Then this is your new food place. If you like real food that isn't microwaved then. Do Not Order this Food. They say there food has fresh ingredients. This is not true. The pizzas taste like a microwave tennis shoe smothered rotten goats milk. Honestly Deer Piss would taste better. I have never wanted my money back on food. You usually take the lumps when ordering from a new place. Please take the money you just stole from me and take just one cooking class. Or rent a tv and watch the food network. Do something cause your food is HORRIBLE. Hint!! Canned Mushrooms are 1 color. Fresh Mushrooms are multiple colors. Hint! You can taste the canned ingredient's. YOUR FOOD IS SO BAD, YOUR COCKROACHES AND MICE GO NEXT DOOR TO EAT! What did I do to deserve this horrible taste in my mouth?????????? Why can't we give negative stars? read more

Just waited an hour and a half for an eggplant calzone and greek salad. The calzone was lukewarm and they did not include the extra sauce that we ordered. It also must have cost $18 because our order came to $25+ altogether. The greek salad ($7) was a moderately-packed container of lettuce with some feta, literally 4 grape tomatoes, and literally 5 cucumber slices. Never ordering from here again. Update: aaaaaand the dressing is caesar. Really?! Update 2: Apparently there were some olives in there. My bad... read more

Well I am working up the street at MIT and needed something fast to eat with out a big college crowd around. Primo's was fantastic. I had got the Roast Beef Sub with everything on it. I thought it was amazing, amazing enough tomorrow for lunch I will be here tomorrow for lunch trying something else off the menu. There are so many choices that sound good so I am looking forward to my eating adventure this week. read more

Primo Pizza & Roast Beef - a street corner - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Super fast delivery (and it was snowing when I ordered). Food was good, so no complaints. the small-size pizzas are definitely small though, so order a large if you have more than 2 people. read more

Ordered buffalo chicken sub. What I got was rock hard old chicken with no actual buffalo/hot sauce on it. I literally heard who prepared it call it "buffalo" chicken multiple times. I used to like this place but it has really been disappointing for awhile now. I hope they can turn it around. read more

Doesn't even deserve one star when the food makes you sick and gives you diarrhea. Tried to talk to manager just out of concern for other customers well being after getting me and a co-worker sick. But instead of some type of apology I was told there were no other complaints made so my allegations weren't valid. I will never go back here and not recommend this place to anyone. This place do not value its customer's and management has no remorse for making people ill. read more

I got a Hawaiian pizza. Very generous with the toppings - plenty of ham and pineapple. However I didn't realize it until I was halfway through eating that the pizza dough was undercooked. The bottom half was fully cooked, but the top part was mushy and doughy, which was from being not fully cooked, not the tomato sauce. read more

I would give 0 stars if it were possible. I accidentally ordered from here on GrubHub. I had previously tried to order from them, and they had rejected my order (and I didn't get the email until about 30 minutes later) because I was outside of their delivery area (which they hadn't updated with Grubhub). I went with another place, was very pleased, and meant to order from them again. Enter tonight. I'm having a rough day, I didn't have a chance to eat, and I was looking forward to something tasty. I accidentally ordered from here instead of the other place. I noticed just after I clicked send, but figured hey, I'd wanted to try them, I'd heard good things, so if they didn't reject my order I'd give them a shot...since I frequently do pick-up in the area they're located (it's on my way home from work), I thought maybe it could become my new roast beef place for those nights I had to work late. Well, the upside is they didn't reject my order...the downside is, they didn't reject my order. The food came 20 minutes after the latest delivery time GrubHub gave, and there was no call or anything to let me know they were running late (it took over 1.25 hours to get to me...and I don't live THAT far out of their delivery area, if I do, because a friend a couple blocks up the street orders from them frequently). I'd requested two roast beef sandwiches with some barbecue on the side, and an order of mozzarella sticks (because I secretly judge takeout joints by the quality of their fried cheese). The mozzarella sticks were frozen in the middle when I got them. The rest of the food was cold. There was no barbecue anywhere to be found, and no cheese on my sandwiches. It all tasted absolutely disgusting. I'm not sure if they were punishing me for living too far away, or if the food is normally this abysmal, but I honestly couldn't eat it. It's currently sitting in my trash can, because I wouldn't even feed it to my roommate's half-feral jerk of a cat. I've never complained about a place before, but I put in a comment to GrubHub. I didn't want new food, I didn't even want my money back, I just wanted someone to know how bad it was, and maybe acknowledge that it was sub-par. Instead, I got a call saying that they'd spoken to the owner and he had stated that it was "impossible for the mozzarella sticks to be frozen." Ya'll, I'm a scientist. I know the difference between solid phase water and liquid phase water, and hot and cold, and that it was IMPOSSIBLE these WEREN'T frozen. He refused to refund anything (which I hadn't actually asked for, but it was insulting anyway). Why can't a place just admit when they've done a bad job and ask for you to give them a chance to do better in the future? Now I'm sitting here hungry, down $30, and ticked off. On the plus side, I AM trying to lose weight, so this is probably about 1500 calories I won't have to work off at the gym. Don't order from here. There are better places in the area. read more

The roast beef sandwich was generally unappealing. At first glance one might think this place has good roast beef, on account of the name, but alas, it is not so. Upon delving into the sandwich, I experienced a distinct déjà vu of a past life in which I was an Andean condor tearing the last few barely edible ligaments off the hind quarters of a long deceased capybara. It was bad. read more

WOW!!! Been trying to find a decent pizza place... Both their pizza and steak n cheese is awesome! Thank you Primo, we will be back!!!!!

Nasty nasty don't go. Limp lame pizza slices - granted it was a $5 special for lunch w/ can soda. But staff was wiping their noses with hands. I've much better pizza literally anywhere else. Sad - never eating there again. Gross. read more

Didn't enjoy the BBQ chicken pizza. Maybe tastes vary.

Went in here to grab a quick bite while passing by and was pleasantly surprised. Manager was very friendly and the food was excellent and reasonably priced (for Cambridge). read more

No good Roast Beef places that I could find in the downtown Boston area so I used Grub Hub and found Primo Pizza & Roast Beef, I ordered Roast Beef dinner and pizza roll. Roast Beef was good and soft, I do like my roast beef on the rare side as this was not but it was still delicious. Onion Rings are yummy too! It was awesome that they deliver from Cambridge to Boston through Grub hub read more

The best roast beef sandwiches. The pizza is decent (Greek style) but it works. Delivery is super fast! Solid 5 for the roast beef. Period. read more

Gluten free pizza is delicious! It arrived warm and on time (20-30min)! I will for sure order it again!

The Super Beef with Cheese and BBQ Sauce, hands down is worth 5 stars. I do not know about anything else, but get the Super Beef.... It is delicious. read more

Fantastic!!! Spinich rolls are to die for!!! Roast beef amazingly fresh and tender. Quick accurate service!! Thumbs up and will def repeat!!! read more

Stay away from the roast beef. I am not certain it is actual beef...or food for that matter. Also, the delivery driver refused to deliver to my door. Instead, he yelled at me over the phone to meet him at his car so he wouldn't have to get out. What a sad, sad place. read more

Roast beef with mayo and bbq sauce for 5$. The super beef is 7$ but you get it on an onion roll and its really good. Overall best roast beef I've had. read more

I love this Place! Good food and good price! I try to stop by everyday!

Just went in there for the 1st time, tried the steak and cheese sub. Not worth the $8 you pay for it, barely any cheese and the meat had no type of flavor, so don't waste your time or money coming here. read more

Pizza was okay, not great. Delivery was super slow, estimated 30 minutes, but took 1 hour and 15 mins so pizzas were lukewarm by the time they arrived. Also the order should've cost $20 but was charged $25. read more

3 stars mostly for prompt, polite service. Hawaiian Pizza: good amount of toppings and cheese, decent sauce, crust needs some work. Superbeef: Meh. it was ok but not a 5 star sandwich. Kind of bland. So, the food was ok and the service was great. I hope I can come back and give them 4 or 5 stars someday! read more

Worst delivery I've ever had. The roast beef sandwich arrived with no roast beef in, just the toppings on a bun. They remade the sandwich and when I got it, the roast beef was extremely over cooked and had the complete wrong toppings on it. I would suggest avoiding this place if at all possible! read more

I come to Cambridge regularly for work. I always stop by Primo at least once each trip to get my fix of their roast beef sandwich! It's the best roast beef sandwich I've ever had. My standard order is for the Super Roast Beef Sandwich - three-way. The Super Roast Beef Sandwich is large size, with lots of perfectly-cooked roast beef piled onto a large, soft, onion roll. The three-way adds American cheese, mayo, and the delicious BBQ sauce. It's a bit messy but oh so good! The owner Adnan always recognizes me and greets me warmly! read more

Delish Super Beef, and tasty slices, chicken parm is great particularly since Hi-Fi just closed. Nice people good food.

I've only had the buffalo chicken calzone and that's probably all I will ever have from here. It's top notch.

I've eaten here 4 times in the last two weeks and this really is just a phenomenal addition to the area. 5 stars for a combination of a solid meal, using good ingredients, at a great price for the area. The regular roast beef sandwich is $5, and you get get whatever toppings you want on it. My favorite combo has been lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mayo and BBQ sauce. Make not mistake, the regular is pretty beefy, and the roast beef is a perfect rare. I think most people would find the Regular to be the perfect size, perhaps even a bit big for smaller mouths. Haven't tried the other items yet. read more

This is your standard neighborhood pizza / sub / sandwich joint with roast beef sandwiches added. I had the small meat lovers pizza and the super roast beef with bbq, mayo, onions, lettuce, tomato on an onion roll. The sandwich was suitably massive and the roast beef was sliced right, cooked right, and not stringy or tough at all. I enjoyed it very much and would definitely eat it again. The pizza was piled with tasty meats and had a healthy amount of cheese and sauce. The crust was cripsy and thin with a raised edge similar to deep dish pizza. The inside of that raised edge was soft on the inside, crispy out. The pizza was tasty but the crust added more texture than taste to the pie. I would eat here again and since i live a 5 min walk away, i probably will quite often! read more

I've been waiting for a good neighborhood family-run pizza place to arrive in Central Square and Primo's is it! over the past couple of months I've tried their pizza, calzones, cheesesteak, and roast beef. all have been terrific. my favorite has to be the calzone or the cheesesteak (they use a great roll for the cheesesteak and finely chopped meat), but everything I've tried has been great. service is friendly and quick. they are open for lunch and dinner. there are only 4 tables inside, so I normally take-out, but I have also always seen an open table when I have gone in. if you live in the neighborhood definitely check it out. read more
