    Mushroom fontina
    Aravind V.

    The pizzas here are awesome and huuuge for their price! My favorite was easily the mushroom fontina, which was extremely generous in mushrooms and cheese, and hit the spot. The drinks were also great, a personal favorite is the very unique Espresso Matchini (I was skeptical of Matcha and alcohol, but this was great, could barely taste the alcohol). Wait times can get pretty high though, so just be prepared to wait

    Come for the good pizza/food and reasonable prices, not for the ambiance - as you walk in, you feel like inside an MIT library.. no music, cold and quiet large space. We got some wine (no complaints, but also nothing special) and the anchovies pizza, which was good, yet on the saltier side, and very wet at the center (while try near the crust). They were super kind go provide some extra red sauce (which was hot and tasty! Thank you for that!). I just wish they would be a bit more creative with the toppins (learn from Si Cara, you're neighbor)

    Supreme garlic knots.
    Tanvi G.

    One of our favorite pizza spots in Boston. This is a light, airy sourdough crust. The margarita is delicious and the supreme garlic knots are extremely cheesy. Service is good.

    As most reviewers,we were swayed to try out their pizza which did not disappoint-good topings,lovely crust. Overall cozy venue and good selection of meals to try-only wish our server wasn't that upset with the world as she appeared to be,but perhaps she was just having a bad day. Also,another staff member who brought out pizza order just dropped it off the furthest corner of our table and left-not ideal. Other than that,we had a good experience!

    Everything bagel with cream cheese
    Rebecca D.

    This review is for the cafe side of Area Four, as I have not tried their pizza. On the cafe side, you order at the counter and seat yourself at one of two long tables (well, a bunch of small tables pushed together). When it's cold out, the cafe gets pretty chilly whenever the door opens, which I found kind of uncomfortable. I kept my coat on. I ordered a drip coffee and an everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was your standard everything bagel - better than a Thomas grocery store bagel, but not as good as homemade. It was also toasted almost to the point of being burned, which I didn't love. Cream cheese came on the side. Coffee was ok. Not too bitter. I'd come back to try the pizza but for the cafe, I will pass.

    Small Clam Oreganato
    Rovingaile P.

    Tried this spot for the first time and it was great! Would recommend all three flavors that we ordered which were mushroom, clam, and margherita. Biggest comment from me is that the dough was perfectly crispy in the margherita but underdone in the clam and mushroom.

    I've ordered their mushroom pizza for delivery twice and this pizza slaps. Thin, crisp crust, delicious mushroom flavor, perfect cheese ratio. Will absolutely order again and try more off the menu. Plus the boxes always have a fun sticker inside :P

    1 Dozen A4 Szechuan Wings
    Angie M.

    All was delicious and served hot. Went here for a graduation celebration lunch! The service was relatively quick. Enjoyed everything. The meatballs are comparable to Prato in Orlando and that in and of itself is worth a star. Sooooo good. Flavor texture sauce everything just went together so well. The wings were crispy but tender. Piping hot just the way I like my food served. Will return again

    Salmon

    Gotten pizza takeout once and came in person last night. Ambience and lights were great! Great for a small group of friends Salmon 9/10: I really liked it! Prosciutto pizza 8.5/10: get it! Mushroom pizza 6/10: can use some work.. Brussels sprouts salad: too much dressing..

    Garlic Knots and Brussels Sprouts Salad
    Karen T.

    My friends and I came on a Friday night at 8. They didn't have any availability inside but we were able to get seated immediately outside. I loved the pizzas. The dough was so nice and chewy, and the cheese was delicious. We each got a small and were only able to finish half; next time, I'd probably share a small with apps or a large. We also got a Brussel sprout salad which was delicious. I'd skip the garlic knots next time.

    Hawaiian pizza

    Food on point. Atmosphere great. Bartender awesome. Highly recommend. Highly rated beers on tap.

    Jason A.

    A really nice pizza spot on the MIT campus! The pizza was doughy and the ingredients were fresh! The prosciutto and arugula pizza was our favorite. The craft beers are also amazing - I love the sour one! They were nice enough to let us sample a few first!

    Alice Z.

    Love the pizza here and the brussel caesar is one of my favorite salads/apps to order here. The pizza options are creative - they even have one with clam on it. The crust is pretty thin and chewy, with wood-fired flavor. Lots of seating and great service.

    Many options to choose from pizza and drink wise. The service was fast, flavors were tasty, and a nice spot for any occasion.

Everything is done "top notch ". Whether you are a traveler or a local, it can be either a special night out, or a regular place to frequent. Extra munchies are an added plus.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

But our table was in the main bar off to the side, so it was chaotic but fun. I do wish it was more private but it was still fun, just loud. Our waitress was really nice and did well with our large party. Their menu is mostly apps and smaller plates, so if you're looking more for a large meal this is not your spot. I got the nashville hot mozzarella sticks which were actually pretty good, I liked the tomato relish they put on top and the ranch was really good. Dive Bar Diva was my cocktail which was pretty good. My friends seemed to like their drinks and bar bites. After dinner we went upstairs to the club and got to skip the line (thankfully). The line for the club wraps around the building down the street most nights, so we got lucky. Dance floor is upstairs and it's pretty small, just one room. There were two DJs that night, and the music was really good. Bar was fun, they handed out free chicken tenders at one point and were squirting shots into peoples mouths out of gatorade bottles. It was awesome. Bathroom line upstairs for women was crazy, only one bathroom and it took a long line. I suggest going downstairs... but at least you'll see the famous cheetah print walls! I will say trying to get in contact with the reservation staff was difficult but finally they answered after days of my friends and I trying.
