    South Shore Bar Pizza is one of only 2 pizza styles to originate in the Boston area (the other being Shrimp Scampi pizza, which I guess isn't really a style, but is delicious). You may have had bar pizza in other states, but this is where it originated. I've long wished a good bar pizza place would open up west of Boston, and now one has: Burnt Edges Bar Pizza. Located inside the the Moose Lodge #1018 (yes, you read that right, and there is actually a moose head on the wall!), you will have to ring the buzzer or knock on the door to have the bartender buzz you in. Definitely matches the style, cooked in a greased 9-inch metal pan, thin crust that is crispy on the bottom, no cornicione, and the edge is crispy burnt cheese, which is the key characteristic of this style. In BEBP's case, as their name implies, the cheesy edge is really burnt. Probably more burnt than I would prefer, since it doesn't add any flavor (just carbon), but that is the style and definitely pleasingly crispy. Overall, a bit greasy because the crust is fried, but that's the style too. The good news is that it travels well and will be still crispy when you get home (although eventually the oil start to soak the crust). They have 16 specialty pizzas, which are definitely on the creative side, however most didn't sound all that appealing to me (I'm not into lettuce on my pizza, which several feature), so I went for the basic Pepperoni (a very reasonable $12). The edges of the pepperoni slices were nicely crispy, but they don't use super cuppy or super spicy pepperoni. Sauce & cheese blend seem good, but didn't really stick out to me either (blend is not that great cold, so reheat leftovers). There might be some cheddar in it. But I definitely enjoyed it as a whole. I LOVE Hawaiian pizzas (sue me), so I had to have the "Hawaiian Pig Roast" ($15 per specialty pizza) which had Honey BBQ sauce, bacon, pepperoni, ham, pineapple and diced red onion. Tasty, but very very sweet from the honey, which unfortunately covered up the other flavors. However, your kids will love it. Only available for takeout (no delivery), unless you are a lodge member and then you can dine in. Which might be interesting, given all the retired folks I saw drinking vodka tonics at 3PM on a weekday (first time I've ever been in a Moose lodge lol). Overall, these are the genuine article as far as bar pizzas go. A welcome addition to what is otherwise something of a wasteland for pizza in the Waltham area. You may have to look for it among the other businesses (it's to the right of the Boston Muffler garage). After getting buzzed in, go to the far end of the bar to pick up your pizza. Cash only, pay the owner in the kitchen. Easy free parking lot out front. Selfies with the moose head are optional.

    Nice wrapper on box bottom to keep honey in

    It was a weird location. Although, the pizza was great. It's like a personal size pizza. Picture makes it look bigger.
