I really wanted to share this restaurant because I've been struggling to find solid pizza in Boston. I have lived half my life near NYC, so good pizza is something I need to function lol. This post is for those who also need some good pizza in their life.
I started my experience by walking in around lunch time during a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. The host was was attentive and friendly. I asked to sit at the bar, which is fun since you get a full view of the pizza oven and the whole pizza making process.
I had their basic 12' cheese pizza as my entree. This pizza has two things that a lot of pizza places are missing in Boston, a really solid crust and good pizza sauce.
The crust was crisp and thin with some nice charre...

I had their basic 12' cheese pizza as my entree. This pizza has two things that a lot of pizza places are missing in Boston, a really solid crust and good pizza sauce.
The crust was crisp and thin with some nice charred bubbles from the wood fired oven. The crust was also well fermented, so it had a nice sourdough flavor to it. You could really taste this at the end of each pizza slice.
The tomato sauce was very pleasantly mild with a pure tomato flavor. This is my favorite type of sauce since it means they found a great balance between the acidity of the raw tomato and the sweetness of the cooked tomato.
The only knock I have to give the pizza is that it is on the expensive side. Considering the other pizza around town, I definitely think it is worth it. One pizza was really the perfect size for a full meal. It is important to note that I am a good size fella! I would probably only share a pizza if it was supposed to be an appetizer.
After getting a nice pizza, the host also gave me some homemade rice krispie treats on the house. I definitely recommend this place for the pizza and the service!
FYI, I think that they only sell whole pizzas and not pizza slices (could be wrong about this?)
Edit: I wanted to add that this was at their Brookline location.
