Il Panino was closed so we ended up here as a second choice. Not gonna lie, we had LOW expectations but we were hungry. And wow this place did not disappoint. A large cheese pizza for 11 bucks and you really wouldn't expect much. But it was ready in 15 minutes and we devoured it. Just your regular old pizza, but it really was everything you could hope for from a not Italian pizza joint. As an add on, we also got a large order of onion rings. Honestly, they were also amazing. Again, we didn't have high expectations, but they were crispy and fresh and everything you could ask for from a large order of onion rings. 100% will be back for my last night food needs! read more

Great food always the nicest service! Have been going here for years and will always have something great to say about them. They appreciate everyone, I've never had a bad experience with them. read more

Very large menu with lots of options. Pricing is reasonable, but the food is just ok. Staff is very sweet and helpful, though!

It has taken me way too long to review my weekly dinner creators! My family gets pizza here every week and it is reliably fast, cheap, and delicious. The crust is chewy, the sauce is tasty, and the topping balance is spot on. This is the pizza of your college years when you're a tad drunk and hungry at 1am. It is not gourmet, it's just a very tasty pepperoni made by guys who start to feel like friends after the 4th visit. Their credit card machine doesn't take tips so bring some cash and show them love! I haven't gotten anything besides, cheese, pepperoni, and green pepper pizza, so can't say much about the rest of the menu. Sometimes we call and it just rings and rings. But the nights they're open (like 99% of the year) you're going to have a hot tasty pizza dinner within 15 mins of calling and you're going to be happy with it. read more

The steak bomb is the best on this side I haven't really tried anything else but that hit every time no dissatisfaction at all

amazing food amazing service really nice small town atmosphere. Amazing to just sit down and grab a slice on a rainy day and relax. Nice windows on a road front and live plants inside. The prices are really good and you can get pizza by the slice or in a small or large. They also have chicken options, sandwiches, subs, and other bomb ass meals that heal the soul. I personally go alone just so that way I can shove whatever food I get into my mouth quickly it's that good. read more

Let's talk steak and cheese shall we, I love a good steak and cheese or Philly cheese steak however you like to call it by name Rizzo's makes a good one and it's definitely worth a trip to Jp or if you're in the area and you have a rumble in your tummy and you want a delicious bite. You can definitely have it made your way and some topping may be a little extra however give the a try read more

Cheese pizza is very tasty my kids and I appreciate the food here. thank you guys for the great customer service too!!! :)

Was in the area and we needed a bite. Delivery not available but it was close enough to walk to. Had the steak mushroom and cheese. It was delicious. Great flavor. The rib sandwich was tender and a side of fries. Would do again for sure. Delivery would of been ideal but not a deal breaker read more

Rizzo's has been a JP staple for decades! I've been going here since they were on the corner of Forbes and Centre. Like the mid 70's ouch! Good pizza and the best and I mean the best steak and cheese subs in Boston. They have never strayed from they're recipes which is amazing after all this time in business. The bread is so soft and pillowy it's like heaven! read more

I had a good, plain cheese slice with a slightly sweet and salty sauce. It reminded me of basic NY style pizza (a little heavy on oregano, but I would definitely get it again). read more

Been coming here for years. Pizza is one of the best in the area. Warm and welcoming staff. A staple in the Jamaica Plain community. Give this place a try! read more

I come here when Captain Nemo's (http://www.yelp.com/biz/_xOy5ctlcycRxl8QaTULmQ) is closed. The two places are virtually the same in taste & price...rolls that taste like they are fresh off the truck that polluted its way down 93 from Market Basket. Half the menu is deep fried. The other half is deeply greased. Walk in with less than 10 dollars to order yourself a sandwich, side, and drink...you'll still have a couple bucks leftover. So why one star less than Nemo's? Well, Rizzo's doesn't have the friendly 'welcome to the neighborhood' feeling. Rizzo's is a 'What do you want/That'll be $8.00' type of place while Nemo's is a 'How ya been/See ya next time' type of place. If that makes any sense. read more

One of my favorite pizza spots growing up. They changed their recipe and management about 10 years ago but it's still good. Every time I pass by it reminds me of my childhood. Anyway, their Wingdings are delish. Their cheese pizza is amazing and flavorful. read more

This is probably my favorite pizza joint in boston. If only the customer service was half as good as the food(which is decent at best) then maybe I could deal with it. I usually get cheese slices+fries and soda combination. One particular moment stands out to me as I ordered for pickup and simply asked "how much" and was rewarded with some rude responses such as "you order from here all the time" and to which I responded "nope, can you just tell me how much" and they continued this banter for about 40 secs until I hung up. It was really unnecessary and annoying but whatever. Pizza pies but customer service is trash read more

best steak & cheese in jp. argue with your muva. ohhhhhhhh and the mfn cheese slices... if your gonna get 4 just get a small pizza.. you get the entire thing and it's cheaper +2 slices ! anyways like i said . best steak & cheese in jp argue with your muva. read more

Zero Stars!!! I can feel my arteries hardening just thinking about this place. I should have stuck with my usual Captain Nemo's but one night I ventured another block and decided to give this place a shot. My stomach will never forgive me. The first thing I noticed upon entering was the counter is extremely high. At 5'3" I felt like I could barely see over it. A strange thing to take notice of but it just seemed very unwelcoming to me. And I'm also sketchy and like to see who/what is touching the food I'm about to consume. The employees weren't anything to write home about either. Not especially chatty or friendly. The menu had the usual greasy/fried options you'd find at any pizza/sub joint. After careful consideration I decided to go for the steak and cheese. I was starving so by the time I got home I devoured almost half the sub without really tasting/thinking about it. But suddenly I realized that something just wasn't right. Although I couldn't put my finger on it I had someone else take a bite and they also agreed the taste was WAY off. This lead to me puking in an attempt to prevent possible food poisoning (TMI?). Needless to say it took care of my hunger but not in the way I was expecting. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food but I learned my lesson and you can find me at Nemo's from now on read more

Against all odds, Rizzo's Pizza joint makes a slice that brings me back to my roots at New York's Famous Original Authentic Primordial Ray's Pizza. Seriously, Boston pizza sucks pretty hard... but these guys make a decent NY-style piece of action. The key? A thin but not leaf-thin slice thats cooked to the point of crunchy. Sauce and cheesing become automatic once you've mastered dough thickness and texture. It's no secret- the crispy under-texture that lifts this unassuming establishment to the status of best pizzeria in Boston is simply the result of a hotter oven. Why does no one else understand that pizza doughs should be crispy when you bite into them? Hello?? Has everyone lost their minds and/or teeth?! read more

Recently moved to JP and I am fortunate enough to live directly across the street from this gem, I can't believe this place doesn't have loads of reviews, I never take the time to review places but these guys deserve it. Seriously some of the best "pizza shop" pizza I have ever had. The dough, the sauce, the cheese, all fantastic and the quality is always consistent, they don't skimp on the toppings and (during a pandemic) the price is right. If you're looking for gourmet, pricy, exotic pizza look elsewhere, but if you're looking for simple, consistent, quality pizza, Rizzo's is the place to go. read more

The best time to eat a slice of Rizzo's Pizza is when it just comes out of the oven...hot and tasty. Otherwise doesn't taste so good. Some days are better than others. People that work there seem nice. Sometimes I wonder why I eat here...on a bad day...the guy who just handled your money may also touch your pizza. read more

My favorite thing here is there chicken tender Parmesan sub. It's tasty and cheesy. The bread isn't perfect but it's a good sandwich. The pizza is pretty solid and reasonable. read more

A decent slice for $2.10? Don't mind if I do! You really can't beat the price. The pizza is pretty tasty. I've only had the slices, so I can only comment on that! But the atmosphere is abismal. Yikes. Kinda dark and dingy! The location is close to Jackson Square, and also not too far of a walk from the Perkins Street stop on the 39 bus. read more

2.5 stars would be more dead on. The pizza was undercooked (not crispy) and tasted like cheap, frozen and/or hospital cafeteria food but the bf ate the steak and cheese asap so im betting the subs are better. sorry, ari f., their pizzas are going downhill since ur post. open late tho...i think midnite 7 days/week. read more

I have been going to Rizzo's for sometime now and have always had a positive experience. This place is a great local establishment to grab a bite or do take-out. I typically get the pizza and have had the wings on occasion. Both are very good. The service has been excellent every time and the staff are friendly and customer service oriented. read more

We recently stumbled upon this place despite having lived in JP for 7 years had never tried it. The pizza is delicious and the empanadas are to die for!! Have not tried anything else yet but certainly will in the very very near future. read more

Great late night food. The wing dings and onion rings are incredibly well fried. Be sure to ask for your sauces. The staff is friendly and the pizza is decent read more

Great spot and they are open for takeout and delivery right now!

I took my husband to Rizzo's on his birthday and we couldn't have been happier with the experience! WHAT AMAZING PIZZA! Perfectly crisp crust topped with the ideal balance of cheese and pepperonis! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and even gave my husband and I a free T-shirt because we mentioned it was his birthday! We couldn't recommend Rizzo's Pizza more to anyone looking for delicious pizza and friendly service! This is definitely our favorite pizza in Boston! read more

I was starving,so I went into this joint. Had to be next door to pick up a computer. I ordered one slice plain pizza and a coke. The guy said $6.00 minimum. OK I ordered two slices. Came to $5.50. He told me credit card not accepted unless I spend $6.00. I told him to add the 50 cents. Then he told me card can not be accepted unless I show my ID. After three negatives, I basically told him to stick the food up his rear end, and I left. I have never had to show ID when in a food establishment. He will never see me again.....Very poor and abrupt customer service. They should open a shop in New York where they also don't have much class for the most part in customer service......If they want your ID for a $6.00 purchase, I wonder what they want if it's a big order, maybe CASH ONLY...... read more

This place is bad! The guys working in the counter always look unhappy and their pizza is horrid! I prefer Cappy's which is a few blocks down. read more

The pizza is pretty much crap and their subs are too, but a half step above Captain Nemo's just about a block away. The person who takes your order seems pretty pompous too. read more

Great pizza legit my favorite pizza spot in Boston hands down has that sweet sauce where the cheese meets

I looooove their steak tip dinners . I live in Readville and I drive all the way to Rizzo's just for my steak tip dinner and pizzas. I love their pizzas . The pizza have the right amount of sauce and cheese . I recommend Rizzo's to anyone! read more

Had two plain cheese pizza pie's delivered to a surprise party. Very friendly over the phone and prompted delivery. And the pizza was great! My students loved it! read more

One fine afternoon, I woke up, came to the realization that I was still drunk and decided to get some greasy food in my belly pronto. Considering Rizzo's is literally down the street from me and I could stumble there quickly, I figured "what the heck" and proceeded to order a cheesesteak and mozzarella sticks. The cheesesteak wasn't really what I was expecting (the bread was extremely soft, the meet didn't have much flavor) but it got the job done. The mozzarella sticks were pretty decent considering they were clearly frozen. Beware of the tomato sugar water masquerading as marinara. Also, I think it is ODD that they wrap their hot sandwiches in plastic... that would be a potential reason why the bread was so soft. Either way, this place is a known quantity, it did not blow me away nor did it disappoint. read more

I HAD to make an account just to review this place! They never fail to amaze me. I ALWAYS find something extra in my food. Gross and giving up on them read more

This is my favorite local pizza spot! I go here very frequently and for so many years. I love the taste of the pizza, subs, dinner plates, woooh! You name it! The service is good as well, I am now familiar w the employers and they work so hard, well and fast. I recently introduced my boyfriend to this restaurant and he is also now obsessed as well. We are Two major pizza lovers and we always would prefer to eat here. Keep up the great work! 5 stars from me!!! read more

Solid. I got three slices, and they were fine. Hyde Sq does not have much so this is a great hook up.

Pretty solid neighborhood pizza spot. Unlike most pizza in Boston, this one actually isn't bad! One small pie can feed 2 if you aren't famished and they're quick at making it. I usually call and order/ pick-up (aka I make my boyfriend go) so I can't comment much on the atmosphere. They also accept credit cards! Score! read more

THIS PLACE IS OFF THE HOOK. Its open late-night, good pizza, nice people, and a great place to hang out.
