What an amazing meal, I had walked into a familiar spot that I had frequented before but realized needed more visits, at least one more. I had been undecided on what to order, between the subs, burgers, and tasty pizzas, I was ready for a slice of it all. I had decided on The Rancher, an action-packed, fully loaded, submarine sandwich filled with chicken, paired nicely with crisps of bacon, as well as drizzles of ranch. I had also made the executive decision of supplementing it with a cold Ginger-Ale. The last touch, was a small order of steak fries, plain. The ambiance was great, the customer service was absolutely delightful. I felt right at home and all of the past cheer and fanfare of the patrons and diners of the restaurant. All in all, it was an enjoyable evening that formed a memory will last a while. read more

Classic New York style pizza. Good food, at a great price. It's very much the pizza place of old, with a no-nonsense no-frills decor, stacks of pizza boxes in the corner. Most of the time I've visited, the 3 stooges have been playing on the television in the corner. Staff is super friendly, and they've put up with me and my exuberant little boy with a smile. Is it the best / fanciest place? No. But its damn great. read more

Deserves more four star reviews. Outstanding NY style pizza, as others have stated, and solid subs. Medium tuna sub can feed two; albacore tuna with light mayo. Open late. read more

Probably some of the best pizza in JP, if not, in Boston period! I got two slices, one pepperoni and cheese. Great sauce, great cheese, nice light char on the crust with a good flavor, and the prices aren't too bad! Staff is also very friendly and you can tell they know the folks in the neighborhood very well. It's definitely a lot bigger than I expected too, with a lot of seating, a bathroom, and TV's in the dining room! I'll totally be back when I'm in the mood for good pizza! Definitely gonna try the other items on the menu too haha. read more

My all time favorite Pizza is when you pick up a slice and you have a hard time maintaining because the cheese and all is ready to fun off because the crust is that thin read more

FYI: they'll charge you more than their menu boards list. When I asked why I was being charged $3 more than was posted, the cashier said that those have been outdated for some time. It's a tv/computer screen, so these edits should have been made if prices have changed and it's been a while. The cashier explained that the fine print is that "prices are subject to change without notice." Ask before you order, bc it sounds like they can and do charge you what they want. Service was overall decent otherwise, and the guys around the shop are nice enough. I was a little grossed out when peeked into the kitchen and saw their cook browsing his smartphone with his food service gloves on. I don't sanitize and clean my phone enough, and my guess that he doesn't either. read more

The best slice of cheese pizza in Boston! I've visited numerous times solely for a slice of cheese pizza. It's been voted best slice several times. The service is always great and friendly! It has a homey vibe where everyone is a regular. read more

Pizza never disappoints. I've been coming for years I grew up eating this pizza and it's never changed! Something about the sauce ratio and the cheese consistency just sets it apart from all other pizzas of this kind it's not like authentic Italian pizza but it's GOOD. The crust is just perfect unlike any other fast pizza joint I've tried! read more

And years later, they STILL remain my favorite pizza joint! Staff is always very friendly and professional!

If you don't have the ingredients to make a dish properly just say that!! No pita bread! Plain toasted bread instead of seasoned croutons! Yellow lettuce!! Parmesan cheese the goes on pizza not salad! I could have ordered something else!! Couldn't take it back because my break is only 30 mins!! read more

OMG. I haven't had a "real" pizza in... in... forever! When I crave pizza back home, I order something totally abnormal because 1) I have a wheat intolerance and a minor gluten intolerance so I usually get thin crust and 2) I try to limit my lactose intake and cutting calories by ordering no cheese! (yeah yeah I know - weird!) I'm glad I chose this place to break that particular diet because it.. was.. The.. Best.. pizza.. I've Ever had! First, let's talk about size. We ordered a small. This one must've been a large compared to the California pizzas I'm used to eating! There were (I think) 6 very large slices total! Second, the sauce! It was good and the pizza itself wasn't drowning in it and didn't just taste like bland tomato sauce - it actually had flavor! Thirdly, the crust - mmmmmm. It was a little soggy in the very middle but overall it had a great texture - not too soft and not tough at all and with the right amount of crunchiness. Lastly the cheeeeeese. Mozarella is my favorite and this one was stringy and delicious! The ordering process was a little difficult because I couldn't really understand the guy taking my order or maybe he couldn't understand me and I'm not even sure if he spoke a whole lot of English. Anyway, not only do they serve pizza here but a lot of other things like subs, salads, wings, chicken tenders, fish n chips, etc etc etc. I asked the guy "what's good here" and he says "the pizza!" so taking his word for it, we decided to try their pizza. We ordered a small with sausage, mushrooms and olives.... only when we got it we got sausage, mushrooms and onions on it. It wasn't a very big deal so we didn't complain about it. Good thing it was super delish! My boyfriend and I polished off the whole thing in one sitting! read more

Same Old Place - Small pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

For my money its the best and most reliable delivery pizza in the area. JP/Roslindale/West Roxbury/Mattapan seem to be swimming in Greek-style pizza places with inedible crust -- so its refreshing to get a pizza that uses actual dough. read more

3 stars for a solid spot to grab a cheap slice that does the job. I have disappointed lately with the delivery, on time, but soggy and greasy pie. Not appetizing to me, and not well done like asked. Ah well read more

Vegetarians beware: The Marinara spaghetti sauce had pieces of meat in it. Of course it did not say that on the menu. Fail. The garlic bread was good. But putting meat in a non-meat dish is a no-no. read more

Ordered a couple salads and sandwiches plus one cheese pie at 12:55. Order arrived at 14:17. Unacceptable. Quality of food does not matter if delivery is deplorable. read more

I Love everything I order from this place pizza, steak and cheese and their chop cheese is 10 stars never disappointed

Honestly, this place has fallen off in the last several years. I've tried different times ordering from here and it has been mediocre service. Today, I ordered a fish and chips dinner. If I am paying $13 for a plate then it needs to be worth $13. All I got was a bunch of fries, and two pieces of old fish. (yes, OLD). The fish was burnt and not fresh at all. Not to mention..the condiments were forgotten. I didn't get tatar sauce, no ketchup. It's very obvious to add those condiments to an order to begin with. Needless to say, I wasn't satisfied and I had to throw away the rest of the food. I couldn't even finish eating the plate. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Don't order online! The order was due between 6:00 and 6:15 and wasn't delivered until 7:00, several calls to The Same Old Place to no avail. One might blame it on the deliverer, Slice, but, when the pizza finally arrived, it was quite warm. Clearly someone at TSOP was asleep at the switch. The kicker was that the manager there, communicating through Slice, thought a 10% reduction in the total price was sufficient compensation for a 45 minute to 1 hour delay! There's no accounting for lack of good customer relations. After this, Zestos, Penguin, or... anywhere but here. read more

Best deal for pizza by the slice. Delicious, fresh and memorable! Pickup is quick and fast usually. Weekends your mileage may vary.

I like to go there for breakfast. My favorite is egg and cheese on a bagel. They toast the bagel so it is really hot and melts the cheese. They remember the way I like my breakfast so I just have to walk through the door. There is always plenty of parking out on the street so I never need to worry about it. read more

Same old place has been my go-to for over a decade and has stayed solidly good throughout the pandemic. They deliver delicious food fast. Get the Greek Pizza and Jalapeño Poppers. read more

THE place in JP for pizza and--you'd be surprised--breakfast. $8 for a full plate of eggs, meat, potatoes, buttered toast, and coffee? Sold.

Great pizza if you don't mind remortgaging your house.

Same Old, Same, Old has some of the best slices in the JP Centre St. square. I love to watch the hot italain guys work the dough hard through the glass window. Nice view from the sidewalk. A real local hangout. Watch out for pigeon droppings as you enter and exit. read more

This is the best pizza in Boston. You can stop searching because it's right here. This has really been the same old place for years. My mom, who's in her 50s now, says it's the same [delicious] pizza that it's been since she was a teen in JP. The place is very clean and the people working are always friendly. Writing this review is making me want to go there right now! The quality of a classic cheese pizza, no bells or whistles, says a lot about a place. Over the years I really haven't gotten much else besides cheese or pepperoni pizza and maybe a salad here and there, so I can't comment on anything but how amazing the pizza is. read more

NO BATHROOMS??? WHAT For that reason try to order delivery if you possibly can, but if you live in DOT like me, and you have to pee, and your buying something anyways, whyyy can't I use your facilities!?? That aside, great pizza, not the BEST but great nonetheless. I am a big fan of thier Greek grilled chicken wraps.. although I have had a few that fell apart and were edible only by fork wich SUCKS if you are on the run... The cheeseburger club and the pizza made to order are solid! parking sucks! read more

I've been eating here for years. I got a ham and cheese recently that wasn't their best but most of my meals there have always been great. They're pizza is always a highlight for me. Will definitely continue to go back. read more

Only thing I get here is #1 special- 2 slices and drink for $6. Slices the best I've found in Boston - NY style slices. The pizza in Boston is pretty underwhelming and thrilled this place exists in J.P. The staff are pretty friendly and fairly busy place- so slices not laying around hours on end. If you want pretentious pizza don't go here. The place is simple and they have badass NY style pizza not found in this area. Like most pizza joints- there isn't a ton of staff and heard people complain when standing there about deliveries. If you want pizza fast- then get off the couch and go get it. read more

Yes their pizza is delicious and a good size serving but What about this meatball subs ??? Great -gooey cheesy with sauce and meatballs ---mom would be proud of ! Not fancy basic working people mosey in and out Because ----it's really good read more

As I'm reading the reviews I'm shocked that people left anything besides 5 stars. This place is by far the BEST pizza shop in Boston. Everything I've ordered from here has been phenomenal and the service is excellent as well. I recommend this place to everyone I know and will continue to go here until I can't anymore read more

I use to love this place(I always did delivery) since the switch the Grubhub......it sucks. Honestly I've given you 3 tries....BUT the pizza shows up cold, tasteless, and most recently I ordered naked wings but got buffalo(I guess IF you couldn't do it, call me-granted I asked for naked on a buffalo order since it wasn't an option-also shows that the food might be large batch pre-made.....). I just hope you wake up and realize you're killing your business with bad service. read more

I ordered two large (pepperoni, sausage&green pepper), 12 piece wings, and a garden salad and the meal turned out to be more than enough for 4 adults + 2 kids. When I first got the pizza, I noticed the steam coming out of the pizza box. It was literally freshly made and straight out of the oven. The pizza was giving off so much steam that it fogged up my car windows. It was crazy. In terms of taste, I really enjoyed the way the pizza was prepared. The crust was really crunchy the way I like it and they didn't hold back with the toppings. I don't live in the area so I don't order from here on a regular basis, but If i were to live in JP, I would definitely order my pizza from this place! read more

Good pizza and chicken wings. We got a pizza that was half Go Green, half meat. I prefer smaller slices and crumbled sausage instead of sliced but we both liked our pizza. The toppings do weigh down the cust a bit though, fyi. I love that the bacon pieces are bigger and not crumbles. I don't normally like breaded wings but these are actually really good. They do it right by putting the sauce on the side because if you coat it, it can get soggy. The bbq sauce is good. Couple problems- The girl forgot to add my soda to the order. The driver gets to the house and doesn't have it. He says he will be right back, and half an hour later after we are done eating he shows up with the a coke instead of a coke zero. oy. So 2 people made simple mistakes. Customer service could use some work but the manager was very nice and took care of it. read more

Hands down best pizza spot in boston. Classic old school pizza. Pizza is my fave food and I've eaten it EVERYWHERE. This is in my top 5 pizza places of all time anywhere. All of their other food is good too. But if your looking for a good pie you've found your spot. read more

Usually love this place. But im pretty sure they gave me a reheated pi,za on my last order instead of making one fresh.

We ordered for a team lunch from here today and we got 3 pizzas. The Boss - a basic steak and cheese pizza. The crust was a little hard and the onions weren't very well caramelized. I had very high expectations when helping to place the order for this pizza, but there was barely anything for sauce (white or red) to get the pizza going. The Regina - basil, Parmesan,tomato and garlic. There was plenty of garlic on the pizza that was from a minced garlic jar. Way too many pieces of tomato and I personally hate the taste of basil but there was none even on the pizza for me to taste. Cheese pizza - Not hard to go wrong here and it looked fine. Most likely would not go here ever again, nor would I ever recommend this spot to a organization. I know it's not the companies fault, but even the food delivery service we ordered from came 30 minutes early so the pizza was pretty cold by time we could even eat it. read more

I just moved from the West coast and oh my God, you guys know how to do good pizza. The pepperoni pizza was soo good. I can't wait to go back! read more

Soggy fries and tiny, dry, burnt chicken fingers. If you're looking for tasteless soggy food, maybe Same Old Place is for you! Throughout high school and college I would stop in for pizza, etc. Today's SOP is just not what it used to be. I saw the cook pour chicken fingers out of the fryer onto the grill top. Why? Why are you purposefully making the food even dryer and burnt?!? To top it off I get home to find out that not only is my food pretty unappetizing, but also, no sauce. Not even ketchup in the bag. The fries were also pretty tough, hard, and dying for salt. Moral of the story: $12 for soggy food you won't enjoy. Stick to pizza, as long as you're willing to stand around for 5 minutes until someone acknowledges you... read more
