Little pizza joint with no frills and awesome food! They have a full bar with beer and wine, which makes it a great casual spot. We tried a few different slices, and the standouts were the maple syrup pizza and the margarita slice. The tomatoes on the margarita were so fresh, and it had the perfect amount of garlic. Everything was flavorful and well done. We'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Terrible food and the owner is a complete fool. I ordered a pizza and was chastised by him for not ordering enough food to be able to eat there. Kept trying to explain how restaurants work. Worst food and service I have ever had. read more

Was on vacation in Ma and decided to get some pizza. I ordered a plain pie and it was undercooked. Maybe the were having a bad day , but I went there because it said NY style. It was def not NY style. But maybe they had an off day . read more

My only complaint is about what you get for the money. I ordered a maple bacon slice. The slice was acceptable in quality, but they charge you $5.88. Last I checked, a slice was about 3 to 4 bucks, not six bucks for a few toppings. I have no quarrel with the service, location, food, ambience, etc. (except for the ridiculous picture of Patrick Swayze on the wall, but whatever). ALL restaurants in Davis are overpriced and underwhelming - we get that - but to charge almost 6 bucks for a slice that is half the size of a Sal's slice is a travesty. No thanks. read more

Was feeling hungry on my walk home, so I popped in for a quick bite to go. $5 for a slice that was quick, hot, large, and real tasty? I don't get pizza cravings often, but next time I do I'll be back. The bar's draft menu was also impressive and looked quite reasonably priced, with a choice between traditional bar seating, a window bar looking into Davis, and a quiet back patio. I've lived just a few minutes away for years and can't believe this was my first time here--certainly won't be my last. read more

We came to visit my daughter at Lesley University! Decided to go to Dragon Pizza to prove Dave Portnoy wrong! Oh my gosh! The parm is overwhelming! And I love parm cheese on everything! It was a huge miss for us! We are from NY and don't expect pizza to be like back home but this was worse than DeFara's frozen pizza!! read more

NOT GOOD , the cheese pizza was disappointing. The overwhelming taste of strong Parmesan cheese was all you could taste . It looked great but I'm not a fan of very strong tasting Parmesan cheese read more

Stopped here on a road trip after hearing good things. DO NOT COME HERE. You seriously would be better off going to Pizza Hut. The service was so slow and just had zero pep. Good amount of staff but just no one had any rhythm or soul. The design of the business seems very unique. Not a typical style of pizza store but the food just doesn't cut it. I'd have honestly been way happier stopping at a 7/11 for a 5 hour old pizza slice than this slice of cheese pizza. A very odd selection of pizza slices as well. Cool idea but my god...stick to what works cause clearly this restaurant can't even afford to make a simple good slice of cheese! The crust was by far the worst. Just beyond dry and hard. I had to spit it out because it just felt like I was eating a piece of wood. I hope they're doing better by the time I come through again... sorry for the brutal but straight forward review. read more

Standard corner pizza place, a bit on the underwhelming end. Tough crust. Specials sounded cool but their butter chicken pizza is basically just a chicken pizza so the high price feels unwarranted. read more

Great Pizza! So many great flavors but really the pepperoni, and maple bacon cheddar are the best. (IMHO) But that's not even why I'm writing this review, it's started with the Amaro's and the Vermut selection, and the amazing cocktails. but then we met the staff, Kevin, the amazing bartender who took us on a tour of the many Amaro's, and back-story to how Dragon concocts it's many yummy mixes. Highly recommend. read more

This place is great so I'm really sad to give it a 1 star review. I've always enjoyed the food and the environment. I'd even had a really good conversation with the owner in the past and thought he was nice. Unfortunately, today I had the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. After purchasing a few used games across the street I was feeling sick and realized I need a little food, so I stopped in at dragon pizza and ordered a single garlic knot. Half way through finishing my food (2 mins) the owner came over and asked if we were getting dinner. I was surprised and said no, just the knot. He responded by saying that wasn't enough and then explained how restaurants work and made it seem like we were taking advantage of him by not getting enough to eat. Honestly the weirdest interaction I've had. I can't shake the gross feeling and I'm just sad to be treated like that at one of my favorite local restaurants. read more

I enjoyed my pepperoni slice! A bit on the flimsy side, but the top of the crust is really nice. I also appreciated the fact that the pepperoni pieces weren't circles. It's a good place to stop if you need a quick and cheap bite to eat. read more

Dragon Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza Slice - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Genuinely the worst pizza I have ever had. If you want pizza that tastes like it was left in a salt brine for a month this is the spot. The garlic knots were ice cold in the center, with a side of watery marinara. My partner and I cringe every time we walk past now. read more

I had the sausage ricotta slice. The flavor of the cheeses and the sauce were amazing. I also had the house made raspberry lemonade which was absolutely fresh and delicious. The mushroom cheese arancini was a molten crispy ball of yum. I can't wait to go back. read more

Terrible and rude owner, would never recommend anyone eating here! Pizza is pretty shite too

I mean... what even is this place they call it pizza? I order a slice it was cold as hell, straight out the fridge. Pepperonis definitely fake or something. Tasted absolutely awful I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. Just moved here from the South, will NOT be back to this junk restaurant. read more

Wanted a quick bite to eat while in Davis Square so decided to come here. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't on my list after all the hype from last year. We ordered cheese slices and the lady was nice enough to let us wait for the fresh pie that was in the oven. We also ordered two cokes. After ordering we went and found a table in the dragons lair, the attached room with a bar and games. Our pizza was brought to us and it didn't take long for it to come out! I actually really enjoyed the pizza, it's one of the better cheese slices I've had. It wasn't burnt either which was nice. Prices are pretty good, and I appreciate that you can come here for slices if you don't want a full pie. Will be back if in the area. read more

Yesterday, I went to the Fringe Theater festival at Dragon's Lair (next door and connected to this restaurant). Since this was a theater event, it was very queer so I figured I was safe as an openly trans woman. I was wrong. I stepped in, presenting female, and the first thing the guy behind the counter did was address me as "sir." When I pointed out that I'm a "miss" or a "madam," he didn't bother to offer an apology, just demanded to know what I wanted. Bottom line: if you're a red-hat-wearing MAGA fan and transphobic hater, this place is for you. If, on the other hand, you support trans and nonbinary people and think they deserve to be treated with respect, you should get your pizza elsewhere and not patronize this business. read more

Came here because it was close by and looked good. I had ordered on the phone and 2 large pizzas took 15 minutes to make so that was awesome. When I got there, the staff was very welcoming and cool when I was taking photos, they even posed! The sizes of the pizzas are so big for their price! I enjoyed the vegetable pizza but I wish there were more veggies on it, you get a bite with vegetables on it every 2-3 bites of a slice. The 3 cheese pizza wasn't my favorite but it wasn't bad either. I also know that they sell single slices which I kinda like! That way you won't have to go in for the entire pizza if you're on your own or can get it as a quick bite. read more

Pizza is a well-priced, delicious, light, crispy, thin, and the cheese and sauce taste quality. They just opened their arcade area (which includes a well stocked bar). Staff are delightful. They told us they'd call our number, but brought the pizza to us. One of the employees showed my 5 year old how to get the Ms Pac-Man game working (we didn't have to pay for the game!). Overall lovely place to grab a solid slice (or 2 or 3) of pizza and kid/family friendly to boot. read more

Dragon Pizza - 3 Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

We called to see if one of their pizzas had onion - vegan delight, comes with "veggies" - they said no. It was covered in onions (and grated carrots, which I didn't like but is obvs a vegetable). Crust was tasty, coupla stars for that read more

Service: Very nice people, quick service. Ambiance: Nice place to sit in Food: I wanted to like the pizza, but Portnoy was right. There is an excessive amount of parmesean on it. If its your style of Pizza, then great, but definitely not mine, and I don't know of that many pizza places that do that. read more

Pizza was alright. But the employee was very rude and ignorant. Kept trying to push us to get more even after we said no. The decorations on the inside honestly suck aswell. Don't go here read more

One of the best pizzas in the area - It's our go-to in the neighborhood since moving from NYC. None of that fluffy crust, Greek-style pizza that seems to be the norm up here, Dragon Pizza is similar to Brooklyn style: somewhat thin and flavorful crust, great sauces and quality toppings. I've only ordered delivery and can't speak to ambiance but the delivery folks are always on time and the pizza arrives hot. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Popped into Dragon Pizza during my last day visiting Boston and was impressed. Cool decor and lights on the outside. Dragon Pizza has a simple counter-order setup, bar, gelato case and basic seating in the dining room. It was a quiet night, I ordered up a broccoli di rabe slice, the classic maple bacon slice, some meatballs and a beer. The pizza comes out quickly (5 to 7 mins) and it's quite good. Crisp thin-crust, love the broccoli rabe which is light but intense. The maple bacon is excellent with a lot of flavor going on. Thumbs up for the meatball (2) with marinara sauce and cheese, a bit more basic but solid. This funky little pizza spot is quite good and I'd like to order a full pie to see what they can really do but from what I tried, my expectations would be high! read more

Ordered a sausage pizza and received SAUSAGE & RICOTTA evidently it's a house special but not the same as a traditional pizza . Heard it was good but no Regina or Santarpios that's for sure !!!! read more

Dragon Pizza always brings a bit of joy when we order from them. The pizza is fantastic and the Box with the painted label always makes me smile. The staff is also always friendly and the building has a warm feel to it that makes me happy to have it in the community. Try the meatballs! read more

I think I've found the best pizza place in the Boston area. These are some top-notch thin crust pizzas. The crust is perfectly crisped on the bottom! Margherita: this seems to be the most popular one, but it didn't wow me to the same extent as it did for others. It was definitely good, but I think I preferred other flavors. Kung Pao: this one tasted how it sounds... A little weird, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you really love the idea of kung Pao on pizza Bacon and Scallion: I think this is tied for my favorite flavor. The bacon is amazing and also has a nice sweetness to it. The scallion goes well with it! Sausage and ricotta: this one is the other one tied for my favorite. Not much else to say - very well done I like how they let you order half and half flavors. The pizzas are very reasonably priced. We got 2 pizzas for 5 people and it was more than enough. They have a nice outdoor seating area! read more

Not as good of pizza when I tried in person - I thought based of online feedback it would hit the spot but unfortunately it didn't. Also, the team was upset about me having my kids at the restaurant and claimed they needed to either sit outside or not make any noise. I thought it was a "family esque restaurant"? Very confused read more

Went to Dragon Pizza expecting flavor. Got a crime scene on a crust. Walked into Dragon Pizza hoping for a fire meal, but the only thing on fire was my digestive system an hour later. The pizza tastes like someone dared a raccoon to make it blindfolded. Sauce? Suspicious. Cheese? Questionable. Crust? Less "crispy artisan" and more "cardboard after a light rain." The pizza tasted like it lost a bet. I've had better slices at gas stations--and I'm including the ones that spin under the heat lamp for 14 hours. But the real showstopper? The owner. He's not mean in a "tough New Yorker" type of way--more like a guy who peaked during a high school group project and never let it go. He wears shirts clearly stolen from the children's section. Like, sir, no disrespect, but if I can see your bellybutton outline when you point at the menu, maybe size up? He got snippy when I asked if the pizza was fresh, like I just insulted his grandmother's lasagna. No bro, I'm just trying to avoid food poisoning. Save your money. Eat literally anywhere else. Or just lick a sidewalk--you'll get more flavor and less attitude. read more

The taste of the pizza was good, but it was very floppy. They need to work on the structure of their pizza better. I was looking to see if they sold Star Wars T-shirts in there, but I didn't see any, read more

The different types of pizza allow for a lot of different pallets. Sold by the slice or the entire pie. Slices are worth the price. Service is very friendly and the staff enjoy the work they do! Service alone would warrant a trip back. Ambiance is trendy and a bit quirky with hint of old school neighborhood pizza joints. So why 3 stars? Uneven cook. Three different slices of pizza and it felt like the story of the three bears. Momma bear's cheese was too hot. Papa bear's Kamehameha piece was too cold. Of course baby bear's pepperoni was just right. Meat balls were ok. Garlic knots lack garlic flavor and the dipping marinara was cold. I am sure had we said something it would have been fixed on the spot, but it was late and we were hungry. read more

Fantastic pizza! Cold and floppy, just the way I like it. They only charged 5.49 for the slice, what a steal

Great place to grab a quick slice and beer in Davis Square. Thin crust pizza and great beer / drink options with a comfortable pizza parlor atmosphere. Grab a drink here before the show, or wait in line elsewhere.. Photo posted is a slice with cheese/broccolini and a draft pour of Schilling, both were great!! Will be back to try the "Vegan Delight" for sure. read more

Drove down from Maine to visit family in the Boston area and saw this place as we were walking toward Painted Burro. One of our group said she heard this place was targeted by conservatives so we came in to support it. Got a sausage and ricotta pie and a meatball sub. I wish I could say we loved it but the ricotta smelled off and the meatballs were weirdly dry. Still going to give it three stars. read more

Big, foldable, piping hot NY slices with good sauce and a solid thin crust that has crunch and chew in the right places and holds up to the toppings well. I've had the margherita, maple bacon and pepperoni and enjoyed all of them. Fav is the maple bacon - the savory n' sweet with the chili maple, bacon lardons, cheddar and scallions is really dang good, but also quite rich. I typically get a marg slice to balance it out a bit. Wash it down with a beer or lemonade. I like posting up by the window to people watch or sit on the patio if it's open and nice out. The space has a retro pizza vibe and service is pretty fast. Def recommend if you're craving a NY slice. read more

Pizza is fantastic here- I've been coming since I moved a year ago and I can't get enough! Ambiance also rocks: a combination of classic pizza joint vibes with free pinball and a stocked bar. The staff is always so friendly- great service. They also have a full bar with great drink options! You can't come to the Boston/Somerville area and not hit up Dragon. 12/10. read more

Normal pizza place, nothing special. Nothing I would crave or seek out. Area has tons of options

Me and a couple of friends are scrambling for a place to eat before a concert. We're near Davis Square and we're looking through Yelp for a quick eats place when we find Dragon Pizza. Boom, we pop in for a quick slice. Right away, you can see that there's a vibe going on. There's cassettes on the walls, a retro color palette going on, and there's some slices ready to go for reheating (not to mention some cheap cocktails!) I get two slices (I was curious about the Kung Pao Chicken but I would've had to get the pie) and sit down with my slices. A solid meal for about $10. First few bites are enough to tell, this is a really, really solid place with good pizza. Think of it as a cross between a NY style pizza with some out of the box flavors. If you're in the area, absolutely stop by. Great place. Maple bacon cheddar 5/5 - oh baby this was such a good slice. Came right out of the oven and the lardon mixed with the chili maple syrup on this is insane. A little bit of salty, spicy, and sweet was a great combo and then the crunch of the scallions on top. Chefs kiss. Broccoli Rabe 4/5 - a solid slice but the rabe on this one was definitely overpowering the white sauce. The bitterness of the the rabe was a bit strong BUT the white sauce and parm was delicious so if you love white sauce, this might be the slice for you. I would've looked for something sweet to balance it a bit more but overall, not bad at all. read more
