    Cheese slice
    Olivia S.

    Great spot to grab a slice!! Staff are super friendly. They can either heat you up a slice of a pizza already made up OR you can order your own pizza. Slices were huge (about a 1/4 of a pizza)! Cute spot right on Charles street. Smaller shop but there was a decent amount of seating.

    This was some of the best pizza I have ever had. The crust was thin and perfect and the toppings were a great combination. We ordered ahead and ate at a local park and the service was quick and efficient. I only gave it a 4 though because I thought it was slightly on the expensive side for pizza .... BUT worth it because I'm not from Boston and enjoyed every slice.

    Stopped by on our trek of the Freedom Trail hungry after hours of walking. We wanted something quick before we headed for the pastry shoppes and this placed smelled amazing from a block away. Service was quick for a single slice and the pizza itself was good but not great. The pizza did have a bit of a weird aftertaste after eating it about half way. The inside is simple and fine as long as it's not too busy otherwise they would likely run out of seating.

    For Boston pizza, this place was very solid! I'm always looking for options for a good slice and I would put Upper Crust in my rotation. However, if you're looking for the best option in the Beacon Hill area, go to Florina instead. My friend and I ended up camping out at the counter area for a bit, but they had regular tables as well. The service was fast, which I very much appreciated. This also seems like the perfect place to grab some pizza and take it to the Boston Commons. No complaints from me!

    1 slice of cheese pizza is like 1/4th of a huge pizza

    We ordered the Harvard Street pizza and it was delicious. We split a small between 3 people and it was more than enough. Great prices and good pizza. Their cheese bread was also large and big enough for 3-4 people to share. Highly recommend. Casual local spot.

    We were visiting the area for a wedding and had walked around the common for a bit. This was super close. They had a lot of neat offerings but we stuck with a small classic pepperoni. The pizza was perfect.

    14" Beacon Hill Buffalo and 14" Fig, Goat Cheese and Prosciutto Pizza

    I just have to start off this review by saying, crush red peppers should AUTOMATICALLY be given on the side when ordering a whole pizza. Especially when it's two whole pizza lol this would have been a 5 Star review because the crush red peppers is crucial on a very very good pizza... FOOD : The figs, goat cheese, and prosciutto pizza is a must get. The sweet onions on it makes it so good. Highly recommend it! The Buffalo chicken was also good but the Buffalo sauce can be a little spicy for some. A little extra blue cheese or ranch will make it good. Overall, got to love upper crust. But please start providing crush red peppers!!

    Loved their vegan pizza! I went to an event that had several pizzas delivered from here, and was very happy with the vegan option. The crust is super super thin and a little crunchy at the edges, which I loved. Would recommend.

    3pc Fried Mozzarella
    Pratham D.

    If you love thin crust pizza this is your place. The pizza was amazing, but the fried mozzarella was okay at best. There is a place to sit though it's limited. Service was fast despite the July 4th rush hour!

    Pepperoni Slice
    McKenna M.

    Stopped in for a quick bite. There's a pretty good ratio of pepperoni to pizza, but it's very flimsy. Has a similar taste to a frozen pizza. Personally just not a big fan.

    The service was good. Staff clean tables Often. We got the pepperoni, the Fenway , steak bomb Calzone and buffalo wings. The pizza was delicious. The wings were crispy. The calzone was to cheesy

    When in Boston, on Beacon Hill, and craving pizza, this is the place! Mostly take out. Limited seating. Wonderful selection, crispy thin crust, yum!

    Raw dough

    I kept coming across this place for vegan pizza and decided to finally try it. I can't figure out what everyone is ranting and raving about. 1. Expensive like most have noted but I was okay with that if the quality matched. It didn't. 2. The pizza dough was raw on the bottom. When I picked the slice up, it flapped all over the place and when I bit it, the bottom was soggy and disgusting. Literally inedible. Had to throw the whole thing away. Complete waste of money.

Salty Pig Pizza: A pizza with the same name as the restaurant! Who was the genius who came up with the idea of ​​salted pig and beer caramel? It's brilliant! The salted pork appears to include Prosciutto di Parma from Langirano, Prosciutto Cotto, and Salcissia. Baking rendered the prosciutto's fat, which blends with the caramel to create a beautiful golden syrup that flows across the pizza's surface. The prosciutto was savory, oily, and tender; the minced salcissia retains its coarse texture and rich meaty aroma; the caramel was sweet and mellow with a honey-like sweetness, forming the top, middle, and base notes respectively. The arugula was slightly warmed, losing its astringent and raw taste while maintaining its crisp texture, helped to cut through the richness together with the Parmesan cheese powder. The crust was crispy, while the inside the dough was soft and chewy. The cooking time and seasoning were all just right, and the restaurant's proud wooden oven added a charming smoky flavor. Affogato: I had high expectations, but it was just okay. The espresso was too sour, and the vanilla ice cream couldn't balance it out. The almond biscuits had an overpowering almond flavor, and the flavor of plant-based protein was terrible! (Oh, this should have been a plus...)

We had the meat lover's pie and oh my. Wgat a delicious fusion animals, cheese, tomatoes and crust. The taste took me back to a pizza I had many years ago at a place in Cambridge--in a great way! They only sell whole pies, which at first seemed annoying (the first time I tried coming here a few years ago I was by myself and couldn't eat a whole pizza alone) so I had to make this my inaugural tasting). But I see that as ensuring you are only eating a fresh product, where all the ingredients cook into each other and come out hot and ready, instead or something reheated from four hours ago because the day was slow. The menu is simple: pizzas and meat skewers. They know what they do well and lean into it hard. The ambiance has a rustic feel, with tall, weathered wooden booths that make eating a close experience, so please bring people you really like! The servers are present but not hovering and checked on us with the kind of frequency that says, "yeah we should let you eat but not forget you are there." I will be back for sure.

Pizza was ok, not my kind of pizza, the crust is very thin and cracker like, it doesn't hold up under additional toppings. Flavor of sauce and toppings was good, toppings were also generous. Service was fine, it took the wait staff a little bit to notice we were waiting to be seated. Overall it's worth a try, there's a reason they've been in business over 100 years.
