This hole-in-the-wall (in the best sense of the term) is no frills. You don't go here for a romantic night out. What you do go here for is amazing pizza baked by people who only speak Italian. I could smell the garlic when I got out of my car, which was a good sign. My margherita was a good combination of crispy around the edges and floppy in the middle. The favors were tasty and more "old school" than new. Presentation isn't the most important thing at Beacon Street, but the taste is genuine. Completely satisfying. read more

My friends and I stopped by this place Thursday evening and it was the best decision! After we placed our order of fries, nachos, and a large veggie/cheese pizza, the owner said we could pay afterwards. We sat outside on the patio and the ambience was amazing. The food came out after some while, but everything was on point. We also asked for some honey mustard to go with the fries and it was the best honey mustard we've ever had. The pizza was crisp and hot. The fries was perfectly cooked and the nachos were layered just enough. The owner and staff were also so kind! We will definitely be coming back. read more

Absolutely delicious. Incredible pizza and pasta. Service is fast and the owner is a lovely person.

Pretty good pizza! They are huge, and for a great price!! I got a large buffalo pizza and a small cheese, the small was $10.25 and the large buffalo was $19. I really liked the buffalo! Super tasty, would def get that one again. The staff there was super kind and the pizza came out quickly. read more

i've mostly gotten subs there and they've been really good. Pizza looks nice also but I try to go light on the carbs! It's a really nice guy who runs it. No glitz, just reliably good, if not spectacular, food at a reasonable price. read more

I just got two slices from this place . It looks like two dried up shingles with no sauce .. terrible Waste of money do go here read more

The pizza is as disgusting as the place looks. It's sort of amazing what passes for pizza in the Boston area.

Ordered some Latin American dishes off the picture menu inside the restaurant and found that there's a reason they aren't listed on the printed and online menus. The carne asada comes on a side of rice and beans with 3 plantains. The meat was over cooked, the rice was watery and flavorless, and the beans and meat were both overly salted. The arroz con pollo itself had no flavor, and was topped with a salsa which did have a good level of spice but also had an off putting vinegar flavor. The best part of the meal was the plantains, which were sweet and had a nice crunchy exterior. Each dish was $12 which is a bit on the high side for the portion size and quality. read more

Great pizza, great service. The crusts were thin and perfect, just the right amount of sauce and cheese.

Pizza is solid. Crust is nice and fresh and ingredients you can tell are good quality also. Whenever I want a classic pizza, nothing trendy or craft IPAs to pair it with, this is my go to place in Cambridge, hands down. Owner is nice and accommodating to request, and I had a good experience every time I do a pick up with the people working there. A more genuine interaction, if you will. read more

Used to live near here. Loved the quesadillas quite a bit. I always liked talking to the owner. Small but laid back atmosphere. Was a peaceful place to stop and eat after a hectic day at work. read more

Great staff, so nice and very quick to make your order! Top notch crust and mozzarella sticks.

Best pizza in Cambridge/ Somerville! I almost never eat pizza anymore, but if I have a craving I can't shake it has to be from Beacon Street pizza and has to have anchovies, garlic, and artichokes! Try. It. O.M.G you'll thank me. The sauce is amazing with a slight tang and NEVER overwhelming (I hate pizza with too much sauce). Same goes for the cheese. Perfect proportion in every bite. The shop is small and family owned. I remember the initial owners but really love this family. How much more does one need to say about pizza? Go forth and nom! You'll love it. read more

I used to get pizza from here when I was younger! It was called dial a pizza and a large cheese was $5! So glad we found this place that serves halal options. We ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and the Margherita pizza. Probably wouldn't order he margherita again as it wasn't that great or Margherita-like. We also ordered chicken wings and chicken tenders, which were delicious. They gave a lot of sauces, but forgot my bbq sauce! The prices online for pizzas are for small sizes. This was more than enough food for two people though! read more

A random find a little past 11pm on a Sunday walk home after a Game of Thrones viewing party, this was exactly what we needed. It was a little, almost lonely building standing by itself in the middle of a small lot; a place that you could easily overlook. The family running the place and the pizza, though, were so good! A great surprise and a great end to the weekend. Service: The father and son there were super sweet, given that we were there minutes before closing. Unlike other restaurants waiting for you to order promptly and leave immediately, they were very patient with us as we looked over their simple but still expansive menu. Happy to chatter and obviously very proud of their food, they told us that their sausage was made in-house, so we obviously ordered a slice of simple sausage pizza to go. Food: There was half a cheese pizza still left, so they took a slice of it, added the sausage, and put it into the oven to heat up. I was a little skeptical given that it was going to be heated a second time, but the pizza was still very tasty, the mozzarella cheese nicely melted, and the sausage tasted so simple and good! The crust, though, was the star of the show. Thin, unbelievably crispy, not chewy at all and slightly charred, this crust reminded me of the dollar pizzas in New York. Around the pizza, the crust was a bit thicker, airy but still dense as well to satisfy. It was just such a nice feeling to bite into your pizza and hear an audible crunch. Definitely a place to revisit! Recommendations: Talk to the owners! And try the sausage as well. read more

My first time coming here the staff here is friendly and the service is pretty quick. Was skeptical about trying there empanadas but to my surprise they were delicious. I had one beef empanada with beef and potato served with a salsa sauce on the side it was bomb. I also got a slice of pizza which was okay. Probably will come here again read more

I love this place. I always order a vegan pizza with peppers and onions and mushroom, light on the vegan cheese. The people who work in here are so friendly every time. The pizza is so good and made just how I like. Attention vegans, go there! read more

All was fresh and tasty, delivery was so fast. Sure will reorder again. Thank you for great dining experience!

I have visited this lovely place twice and also have been impressed twice. The food quality way exceeds the price. It's not kind of fast-food restaurant. The chef definitely made their own sauces and many other recipes. I have tried the spaghetti, burritos and pizzas. All are amazing and special. I am especially impressed that how good their Mexican food is! Highly recommend their burritos and Mexican pizza! read more

Our order was correct and ready in time for pickup. We just didn't like the taste of the pizza. The crust was too thick, so don't go here if you're looking for thin crust. The pizza sauce was bland but also had a hint of cumin, so it tasted more like a Mexican or Indian sauce. There was a lack of cheese. The large size was adequate and there were plenty of veggies on our vegetarian pizza. I would not go here again. read more

I have never met a bunch of guys who love making pizza as much as these guys. It's a take out pizza place. They have a table or two inside, and they recently build an outdoor patio (summer of 2015). But it's basically take out pizza. Even though it's take out, it's really really good. They use all fresh ingredients, which you can see them cutting up. In addition to really good pizza, they also have really good burritos. I don't understand it either, but they somehow make great pizza and burritos! Go to Beacon Street Pizza for a great pizza and smile. read more

Finally, good quality pizza in the Porter and Inman Square area! I dropped in yesterday after the SuperBowl. They were closing but happily invited me in anyway. Turns out there are new owners, and the pizza is excellent. César, the owner, worked across the street at Dalí for 26 years. Super friendly and knows good food! I got a small mushroom pizza. Simple pizzas are usually the best way to judge quality. It was nice; fresh, good quality ingredients, and well made. A good size for a "small" pizza too. I don't eat a lot of pizza anymore, but I do love a good pizza. Beacon Street pizza is doing qood quality, tasty pizzas. Nothing gourment, but with the right crust, sauce and toppings, it beats the alternativesflat out, and the prices are great. I wish them a lot of success! Try them out. read more

Don't judge this place by its exterior. The pizza is great and the service is even better. The guys who work here are incredibly friendly and really want want their customers to be happy. As others have noted, there's an outdoor seating area but it's mostly a takeout restaurant. Give them a try! read more

Fantastic family-friendly neighborhood joint. This is a family run business which has quality pizza and Italian subs at low price. The pizza is really good - the marinara sauce is made in house with really fresh ingredients. Their Chicken parm is a good balance of crispy and moist. Their garlic knots are fantastic late night snack - you can order them stuffed with different toppings. Most surprisingly their Greek Salad is one of the best take out salads I've had - full of really fresh vegetables and tossed with high quality feta, olives, marinated red peppers etc. The owner has been slowly building up the place after taking it over a couple years ago when it was Dial a Pizza (which was mediocre at best). He's hand built their patio out front which is a great place to eat on a summer evening. Some folks on Yelp have complained about delivery service - granted it takes them longer than ideal but please recognize this is not Domino's. Often the owner is hand making your pizza with care. If you live in Somerville or Cambridge please do check this family-run place out - if you live in Kirkland village or are passing through the area call ahead for pick up! read more

Beacon Street Pizza - Greek salad for a side - really fresh and well seasoned. - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

This was Fantastic. Lived in the neighborhood for a while but I never checked this place out because of the looks. They recently added the patio and looked welcoming, so I tried. Turns out they have great hospitality and great pizza. Looking forward to try other list on the menu. On the side note, owner makes the wood furniture. I like that he invests his own time in the establishment. read more

Wholeheartedly the worst pizza and service I've had since moving to Boston. Service: it took an hour and a half to get the pizzas. I called three times, each time being told that it was on its way. 5 minutes turned to 15. 15 turned into it's in the car. It's in the car turned into another 15. Very disappointing. Google maps said I could have walked there in 8 minutes. Price: I ordered using the slice app, and chose to pay with cash. I called to confirm, and they didn't tell me it was going to cost an extra $4 for one pizza, to my surprise when they delivered it and I couldn't call for a partial refund because I chose cash. They didn't know the difference between half and half and two toppings... Taste: it was bad. Probably the worst pizza I've ever ordered in the four states I've lived. The pizza was dry and cold, very little sauce, no flavor. It's as if they made it poorly, and it sat in the box for an hour. (Probably because they couldn't deliver it on time.) Halfway through the pizzas I asked the guys I was with if their mouths hurt from chewing, and I got three resounding grunts of confirmation. Despite the fact that I paid like $7 just to get pepperoni and bacon on one pizza, there was very little. It was the worst pizza I've had. I don't take that claim lightly. I think there's a Papa John's nearby, take your money there. I don't know if it was an off night or if the photos online are lucky ones. I regret not taking a photo to prove my point. I'm very disappointed, and again, since I paid cash, so no refund for me. read more

Ordered a pepperoni/mushroom calzone. Was amazing! Delivery was quick, food came hot, I am very happy and pleased. Ordered the fried dough bites too, those were pretty tasty! read more

Pizza is great and service was even better! I live 15 min away and the pizzas got there 25 minutes after I ordered so that was speedy as heck! They were polite and very understanding! Highly recommend this hole in the wall! read more

Been eating here for a few years and it's just consistently good. Generally, I'm unimpressed with Boston pizza (maybe I'm a snob or don't know where to go), but I've always been happy with Beacon Street Pizza. Also, the owner (I assume) is a super friendly guy, so I'm always happy to stop in for pizza. read more

Just went in for the first time. Really small place, and not much space to sit down outside, but the owner seems nice, and accepts credit cards even for a $2 slice! The outdoor seating is good (weather permitting), but of course the real reason to go (or order out) is the Pizza--which turns out is actually really good! read more

Nothing particularly remarkable about this place, other than the fact that they have halal chicken, which is super cool (though confusingly paired with bacon on many of their dishes). They seem to be bringing a little bit of a latin american flair to their pizzas, which is respectably creative: the Brazilian pizza comes with corn, chicken, green olives and bacon (which they can hold). Good in theory, just not very tasty; crust is not as crispy as I like; corn is dried out and soggy. Buffalo wings (also halal) are sadly lacking in sauce, and the sauce isn't very spicy. The fried dough dessert is also just confusing...like how is this even on a menu: it's just balls of pizza crust (many of which are stale) with a very very light dusting of cinnamon sugar. And they insist on sending you like 5 pounds of this stuff for $6 (no smaller size available). At least send it with some sugar glaze dipping sauce! read more

I rate this place 2.5 stars. The crust is really not that good at all, it's flavorless and uninteresting, almost like day old pizza. Their selection of toppings are diverse. read more

I like the pizza, but hate the delivery drivers. They always think I live in Cambridge even though my order says somerville right on it and they have more than once showed up at the wrong house. Get your shit together. It's really annoying. read more

I have never experienced the worst delivery ever! The delivery order went well. An older guy came, my order was $10 & I only had a $20 bill. There was already a delivery charge and I asked him for the change to give him a tip. First he said he doesn't have a change, then he went to bring change from his car, came back with $3 and said that's all he had and walking away. He ignored my call and walked away with $5 + I will never order delivery from here. If you do, make sure you have the exact change!! I called the woman back - she apologized and said she couldn't do much about it...it wasn't about the money as much as the rude, unethical, outright steal...he waled away with $5 tip for a $10 order & a delivery fee. read more

Was it the best pizza in the world? Probably not.. but they're timely with their deliveries and the pizzas are pretty damn good. I recommend them. read more

The best pizza place in Somerville. Don Cesar is so kind and the service is great! I recommend the Hawaiian pizza.

Recommend going here but they don't have medium sized pizza, if you order a medium they will give you a small, just a heads up. Staff is very nice. read more

Great pizza, they delivered even in the snow storm! Good price for it too. I've ordered buffalo chicken pizza, veggie pizza, cheese pizza & mozzarella sticks (twice). There's a reason we keep going back! They have always been so nice, letting us know about complications with the snow storm and when we pick up. looking forward to when it gets warmer so we can sit outside! read more

Best pizza in the area. Not shi-shi, no fusion - straight up, thick crusted, heavily cheesed and topped pizza. They serve a bread and butter, standard-crust pizza that fills you up for a very good price. I sometimes overtop my pizza (especially if I order after a few beers) but they are great at making sure the crust comes through well cooked and crisp, even with all the extra toppings that would help most places produce a loose, sloppy pie. Slices are thick and filling, and the make sure you get what you pay for. If you're from the midwest, think Godfather's pizza ten or fifteen years ago. Delivery is quick and easy, and they normally beat their estimated time. I've never tried their other food, but if it is as good, then you shouldn't be shy. read more

Pizza is great. Great combo options. We love the Hawaiian, Brazilian, Mexican. Pro-Tip: The dough needs a little salt tho guys!
