    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
    Jimmy N.

    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.

    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.

    The pizza is ok. The cheese is the best part. If you ask for the prosciutto to be added after cooking they will do it.

The box combos are where the value really shines. You get a great deal on a satisfying meal where everything works together. The chicken is always reliably good, and that signature sauce, a creamy, tangy, slightly peppery blend is what ties it all together. It's delicious for dipping not just the chicken, but also the fries and that excellent, soft Texas toast. The fries themselves hit that sweet spot of being crispy without being greasy. A word to the wise: the lines can get seriously long, as it's a hugely popular spot. The absolute best move is to order ahead through their app to skip the wait, which makes grabbing a quick and easy meal a total breeze. Overall, it's a consistently good, decently-priced meal for when a fried chicken craving strikes. Just a heads-up that all that fried goodness, while tasty, can sometimes feel a bit heavy on the stomach, but for most it's a small price to pay for that specific comfort food fix.

Everything you hope to have from Northeast oysters especially being from Texas where most of the places here serve Gulf oysters that don't even come close to comparing. I could have drank the mignonette. The pimento mac n cheese was on point and flavorful (and again that pimento cheese, yum). The wagyu burgers were so good. The burger was tender and flavorful, the bread was soft and light and slightly sweet, and the onion ring added a great texture to the mix. Think of a amped up western burger. The ambiance was a cool vibe yet a home feel. We were seated quickly but it took awhile for anyone to acknowledge us. Service was good once it started and the food came out quickly. If we ever make it back to Boston, it will definitely be on our list to revisit. Great late dinner spot. Simple foods done right. (Oh, and the drinks were delicious. I wanted to try them all. Mine tasted exactly like an apple pie.)

This place is right in the Kendall Square area, an easy walk from all of the tech companies. 10 piece fried chicken - Chicken was decent sized and definitely not bulk ordered chicken. This was marinated and spiced in-house. It had good strong flavor, with a hint of ginger that stood out. I think it's ginger, at least. Enjoyable, not dry at all. I would get it again. Chicken cheese patties - they were dry and not that cheesy at all. This saddens me as the place prior to them opening served the best chicken cheese patties in the area. Chicharron - Kind of over cooked and dry. The skin is definitely crispy - almost to a fault as most were too hard to enjoyably bite into. The dryness was the worse. Plaintains were okay, tasted more like potatoes but I think thats how they are supposed to taste anyways. Service was good. Checkout was easy with tap-to-pay.

Seems like most restaurants begin at the suggested 18% tip to start. Some calculate their tipping suggestions at your subtotal before adding the taxes to your bill. This restaurant included the taxes as part of its tip calculation so be aware that you're actually tipping more than 18%. FYI: as a customer, you decide how much to tip for quality service. Bringing your orders to your table is basic. How many times they filled your water cups and check up on you are important and expected. Tipping is not automatic in my humble opinion. Servers who work diligently for their tips so tip accordingly to those who provided a great dining experience.
