Dragon Pizza, I keep coming back, and your pizza keeps getting better. Did it get a little softer and fluffier? Maybe a little thinner? I love it. For the newbie, come in and get two slices. Heads up, their cheese is a little more on the parmesan tasting side. I like it. I'll tell ya what, I'd pay an extra buck for a big ol, warm side of marinara sauce to dunk my slice in. Doesn't that sound awesome? Thank you for the complimentary lemon water....mmm. One thing I'll add. I think you need a good, colorful slice on display. But I love the broccoli rabe and the thick cut bacon slice. Your Caesar salads should be bought by every customer who comes in. It's delicious and company. read more

Ordered a buffalo chicken pizza for pickup. When I got home and opened it I was surprised to see celery on it ?? In all my life I've never seen that on buffalo chicken pizza and it was not in the description of the pizza online so I was thoroughly confused. I gave the pizza a try nonetheless but was disappointed to find minimal sauce, barely any buffalo flavor and crust that was dry and nothing special. I know I'm from NY so I have high pizza standards but this was just so wrong. Wouldn't recommend (at least for this flavor pizza & sober) read more

Great neighborhood pizza! Coming from NYC I honestly have high expectations for good pizza. Most of the pizza in Somerville was mediocre at best. This place is epic! Literally the only pizza place I go out of my way to order from 10 times over. It's everything I'm looking for in a pizza in regards to size, crust height,and toppings are A+! Dragon pizza gives me pizzagasms! They also have a pretty mean kale Caesar salad. Definitely recommend if you're in Davis and are craving pizza! read more

Dragon Pizza - Kale Hail, Caesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Yet another solid pizza joint in Davis, joining Posto and Mortadella Head! This place is a step up from the average pizza take out place because it offers seating (looks like a cafe) and some upscale/atypical ingredients like ricotta and sweet potato (which was more like yam, but who cares). A few tasting notes: Their tomato sauce tastes very creamy and sweet. Their sausage is not ridiculously salty (much appreciated). Their crust is thin and chewy. Like a late night NY slice you get from the corner pizza joint after midnight. You must fold the pizza in order to pick it up. read more

We just ordered NYE pizza because why not end the year with Dragon, a high note always! We got the cheeseburger pizza and broccoli rabe pizza - both were piping hot when we got home. BEST TAKEOUT PIZZA IN DAVIS. Thank you read more

if you want cold pizza this is the place to order delivwry from. I'm done with dragon, love the pizza when hot but been disappointed too many times. read more

The only pizza place I'll go to in Boston. Excellent thin sliced pizza with usually some unique slices up for grabs at the counter. I only wish they'd improve the delivery service: it's a little slow and the pizza isn't always hot on arrival. read more

3 hours for delivery, are you kidding me? Pizza was even cold when it arrived. And it didn't taste good.

I have lived in Davis Square for 6 years. Number of times I ate at the old pizza place in this location? Once. Number of times I've eaten at Dragon Pizza in the two months it's been open? Nearly 10. Why? Because I adore pizza and this is -- hands down -- the best pizza I've ever had. (I've lived in NYC, SF, Denver...and several smaller cities.) What makes Dragon Pizza so ridiculously delicious? The quality of the ingredients. Clearly, the owner puts all of his money into the food. And that's fine. Because the pizza is spectacular. The crust is thin, crispy, and chewy. The maple, cheddar, bacon is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The broccoli rabe is garlicky and delicious. The pepperoni slice is out of this world. When I asked the owner about his pizza, he told me his inspiration was the famous Portland, ME, restaurant Duck Fat. Being a bit of a foodie, I've eaten at Duck Fat (naturally), and I think the owner of Dragon Pizza achieved his goal. Dragon Pizza is the best thing to happen to Davis Square in a long time. read more

In what appears to be a common theme, I checked out Dragon Pizza because of a glowing review in the Boston Globe, which called it the best pizza in Boston. I was skeptical I have an unhealthy obsession with pizza (I keep a spreadsheet of scores for over 50 pizza places in Boston as a resource for less demented friends) and after 1 visit, I have to say I can't really argue with the reviewer's assessment (It's my new #3--and easily the best in Somerville/Cambridge) A lot of pizza comes down to personal preference for styles, so here's what you need to know. New York Style Slices Crispy, thin crust Greasy Cheesy Very flavorful Closest Boston comparison: Santarpio's My least favorite quality in a pizza is blandness, and Dragon pizza punches you with flavor. For my wife, the pizza was a little too greasy and a little too salty. For me, it was pure perfection. I can't wait to go back. Recommendation: Sausage ricotta pie. read more

This place is incredible! Inventive toppings, delicious sauce, fantastic crust. The maple bacon pizza is hands down my favorite- thick lardons of bacon, the perfect balance of gentle heat & sweetness in the chili maple drizzle & loaded with fresh scallions. The shrimp skewers are also worth the trip. 10/10 favorite spot for a quick & delicious dinner. My only gripe is that they're not open on Sundays. read more

I don't know why it's taken me so long to write a review for this place - our weekly pizza resource for the past number of years (what is time anymore?). The pizza is, unsurprisingly, incredible. Ben's Shrooms is a favorite, but really any choice is a safe one. They're all good. Amazing gelato with varying flavors (also, seriously, never a dud, but I am partial to their mint chip), and WTF?! They also make delicious pasta dishes, too?!?. Not boring typical pizza house chicken parm (not hating on typical pizza house chicken parm, it definitely has its place), but seriously quality, delicious pasta dishes (pork ragu is amazing). Truly. This place is incredible, and I love it so much. read more

Easily the best pizza in the area. Simple shop, no frills, but the pizza is exceptional. Boston has notoriously terrible pizza, but these guys are outstanding. Highly recommend stopping in for at least a slice. read more

Dragon Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Best pizza in Somerville -- by a mile. On Sundays, they do chicken biscuit sandwiches, and they are out of this world. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

After reading the reviews I was looking forward to having a Dragon pizza. Unfortunately it doesn't come close to any of the reviews I've read. I have eaten pizza from Naples to the north end and many places in between. I order a sausage and ricotta pizza with very little sausage and a few dollops of ricotta. Now the dough ...it was uneven in thickness, tasteless and cracker like texture like eating a cracker and bit rubbery in other places. We also got the the chicken skewers which the chicken wasn't fully cooked. This is the first review I've ever written that's how disappointing this was. read more

Been craving great pizza for a while now. I had one a week ago that was very good... Family owned joint in East Boston. Now this... Loved the pizza here. Delicious and perfectly done. I just had a slice. I could've eaten a whole pie! Friendly staff and quick service. read more

Friendly service. What a departure from that drab old pizza place that used to occupy the very same storefront! Good pie, good music, and classic Bruce Lee cinema on the TV. I do hope this place succeeds. read more

This place is awesome - there used to be a run of the mill pizza place in this location and these guys took it over. Their pizza is loaded with fresh, tasty ingredients, they have at least five different kinds of gourmet options, and they have all kinds of other awesome accoutrements like home made gelato and artisan soda. Such an amazing addition to the neighborhood! I hope they do well! read more

Best pizza I've ever had! Love the maple bacon cheddar and the mushroom onion pizzas. Very cheesy and delicious.

Almost two years ago I checked this place out right after it opened and was not at all impressed. Fast forward two years and one global pandemic with a side of economic crisis: they have formed a partnership with the inimitable Sligo Pub, and it's the best thing to ever happen to Davis Square. (At least in 2020 anyway.) We got a slice of maple bacon pizza and a slice of pepperoni (all much better than our memory from last time), and a chicken kebab and a cauliflower kebab. The carrot ginger pickle slaw on the side was amazing. But really the magic is in the pairing with Sligo. Sligo keeps it real but can't handle your munchies. Dragon serves food but leaves you thirsty. Together all your needs are met, and as the munchies hit you, the food magically arrives, followed shortly by your next beer. Davis Square needs to make this arrangement permanent. read more

That maple bacon cheddar pizza knocked my socks off. Incredible. The broccoli rabe was delicious too. Perfect crust. The staff were welcoming and friendly. And they played killer tunes. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other pies. read more

I really liked the slice I had recently, but what has brought me back are the skewers. I've tried just about all of the regulars and have enjoyed every one, with the shrimp at the top of my list. This is a fantastic place for a quick, inexpensive bite that's still really tasty. I have unusual dietary restrictions, but Dragon always has something I can eat. read more

I was walking by and was super hungry so i decided to give this place a try. I should have just walked right past and gone to Dominos Pizza down the road, First of all, Staff is friendly, but the pizza pie was horrible. If i could compare the slice, it was like a piece of tasteless cardboard. Never going back again. read more

Thin crust pizza. Love the meatball skewers. They have slices ready to go and a good variety of pies on the menu- or you can make your own. read more

Boy oh boy, do I hate to write this one. We ordered pizza from Dragon Pizza tonight. In particular, my wife handled the actual ordering. The pizza arrived late because the delivery person initially went to the wrong house. Right street, wrong town. The delay was exacerbated by the fact that he delivers by bike; so what ordinarily would have been a quick fix turned out to be a not-quite-quick fix. Given that the restaurant charges a $5 delivery fee, my wife decided not to tip any additional amount. (She might have also been a little hangry. That might have been exacerbated by our equally hangry four year old who was confused why the pizza wasn't there when the delivery person called.) As it turns out, they got the order wrong too, although she didn't know that when she decided not to tip. A short time later, my wife gets a text from an unknown number with a screen shot of an instagram post. The post had a picture of our receipt, complete with my wife's name and telephone number, and our address. "NO TIP" was scrawled in red ink across the check. The text of the post bemoaned her (putative) bad tipping behavior, and included a hashtag along the lines of #fooddeliveryisnotahumanright. The post was from the restaurant's IG account; it turns out, the delivery person is also a co-owner of the restaurant. I called the restaurant and asked him to either take the post down or at least redact our personal information. He refused. I said that such a post violated IG's terms of service. He flatly said "I don't care." He went on to say that if I came to the restaurant and left a tip, he'd take down the post. So that's that I guess. I would kiiiinda understand this petulance from an employee. Maybe not a very good employee, but it's within the realm of imagination. After all, maybe an employee doesn't care about the long term outlook of the business; they just care about the money they're leaving with in their pocket that night. But getting this from an owner of the business? From the owner's perspective, the playbook is simple when a mistake happens. Deliver a cold pizza because it took you two tries to get the right address? At the VERY least apologize for the mix-up. Most likely comp the pizza and (sincerely) message that the restaurant will do better, if the customer would give them another chance another night. [To be clear: I am not angling for a free pizza at this point. That ship has sailed.] You know what's NOT in the playbook? "Here's your cold pizza that wasn't quite what you ordered, now where's my tip?! No tip? Up you go on the wall of shame!" I hope other co-owners monitor the Yelp account. Other co-owners: get this guy some customer service training. For those Yelpers who have read this far, how was the pizza? Not bad. Not SUBLIME, but definitely not bad. I would have probably gone back or ordered again, were it not for this incident. Do better, Dragon Pizza. read more

I love love love this pizza place! One day I was just aimlessly walking around Davis Sq when I came across Dragon Pizza. I stopped in for a slice and now I am hooked. The pizza pies and slices are reasonably priced and there are several different kinds of pizza. So imagine my delight to find out they deliver to me! May or may not have eaten half in one sitting. read more

Wow!! These guys certainly know how it's done. I recently moved from Brooklyn, so my standards are high and the pie I ordered last night was amazing! I got the three cheese and added homemade sausage. It was ready pretty quickly, and thankfully I live right around the block. As I was carrying my treasure home I could already smell the delicious pizza and a hint of wine from the sausage. The thin crust was perfectly cooked (I hate pizza places that burn the crust) sauce tasted fresh and there was plenty of cheese. And the pieces are big! I had two slices but i could see someone who eats less/ wasn't as hungry just having one. Considering this and the quality the price is well worth it. A plain cheese only costs $16. Specialty ones are a little pricier. This will definitely be my go-to pizza place whenever I can afford to get something other than a chain. read more

The product is overall unsurprisingly mediocre, something you could get from any neighborhood pizza joint, but at "an artesanal price". Using parmesan in the cheese blend made the pepperoni pie very salty. On the plus side, the operations worked pretty flawlessly (later evening online order prepared on time). read more

I was sad to see Cristo's go but excited when Dragon Pizza took over its spot in Davis Square. The pizza is high-quality and delicious. The crust is absolute perfection and the toppings are great, no matter what you choose. Some of the poor reviews on here are pretty misleading. Yeah, some speciality slices cost $5, but a typical cheese slice is $3.50. And it's WELL worth it. ( I mean, really, what were you expecting? $1 slices?! Your tastebuds won't thank your wallet on that one, that's for sure.) I ordered their classic ricotta and sausage pizza along with a specialty pizza of sausage, onions and peppers. I couldn't tell which one I loved more. If you are looking for classic, delicious pizza, look no further. Dragon Pizza is where you want to be. But if you are looking for $1 slice of pizza, feel free to roam around the garbage bins and pick yourself a cheap slice caked with grease and dirt. No judgement here. read more

Hanging out here right now. We got three slices. Cheese, broccoli rabe, and maple bacon. I consider myself kind of a piece of snob. I journey down to New Haven Connecticut two times a year to go to Frank Pepe's. In my opinion, the mecca of all pizza places. Dragon Pizza is really good. All the guys and gals working behind the counter are really cool and friendly and the pizza is top-notch. One of the guys here has arms that are bigger than my legs. I love the fact that they are playing tapes. I'm probably going to bring my tape collection from the 80s down here and donate it. Anyways, I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place. read more

It's so good! Best pizza ever!!!!!! I could eat their pizza everyday and the staff and owners are super nice and funny.

holy crap, you need a 6th star. This pizza was the best I ever had. Maple Bacon cheddar is a party in you mouth

This is my favorite tasting pizza in the area. Their meats must be hand sliced, because they don't use the typical perfectly-circular pepperoni or crumbly sausage. Their prices aren't low, but it's a nice treat and the pizzas are very large and generously topped with quality ingredients. read more

Legendary spot. Best place to get a New York style pizza in the Somerville area. Never had an issue. A must try for anyone looking for pizza. read more

This place is a neighborhood treasure. The staff is super friendly and the pizza is AMAZING. Perfectly crispy on the outside / chewy on the inside crust, and the toppings always taste super fresh on any pizza I've ever ordered. I've been doing delivery or take-out during the pandemic and never had any issues with either. Highly recommend them! read more

Fine pizza, nothing special. Big empty simple eating space. Clean enough. Slices are $3, $4,$5 depending on the complexity. As a local, I go here as a last resort when I can't be bothered to get something more tasty. read more

Oh my God, Dragon Pizza was great. The atmosphere and staff are phenomenal. I am really glad that I wound up ordering Buffalo Chicken, it was amazing, just an outstanding taste. Team are really helpful and service is very quick. I can not say enough, but I think I have. read more

We ordered a margarita pizza. It was decent, but not great. We ended up throwing out the left over slices after dinner. The search continues for a go-to pizza restaurant! read more
