    Pizza
    Krisily F.

    The husband and I are in Boston this week for his work and we love trying new pizza everywhere we go so tonight we tried Florenza which we found on yelp and we WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! I'm a huge fan of Sicilian style pizza so I was excited! We ordered the Eggplant Pizza, Fungi, and the Proper Pepperoni and we couldn't not try the s'mores cookie and gelato! I LOVE square thick crust pizza which is a true Sicilian pizza but I've never had one that had a crust as light and airy like Florenza's! It's truly the best crust I've ever had! The eggplant was my favorite and the pepperoni was Josh's. I liked the mushroom but it needed some garlic salt then it was amazing! For gelato we got Oreo, biscoff and salted caramel and they were all amazing but the Biscoff was to die for! If you come to Boston you should definitely add this pizza place to your to do list! We ordered everything to go on their site and it was ready as soon as we arrived and it was delicious! We will definitely have their pizza again! I also have to add after a few hours in the fridge I wanted some more eggplant pizza BECAUSE IT IS JUST THAT GOOD and the crust was just as delicious and didn't get soggy! That's some amazing pizza!

    My friends had gotten them place as a recommendation. We arrived for an early dinner and found there to be mostly empty. But by the end of the meal, just about every table was full. Orders are placed at the register and they bring them to your table. We shared appetizers including the Mushroom arancini, and Caprese salad. Arancini was very smell but crispy and cheesy. We enjoyed the freshness and size of the caprese salad. For entrees we shared their Roma caprese panini, Primo panini, Florenza smash burger and Prosciutto & fig pizza in a full size which was more than enough food for a feast. My favorite was the pizza while the sandwiches were also tasty but a tad on the dry side. For dessert we got their Lemon berry mascarpone cake, Pistachio ricotta cake and Honey gelato. Everyone enjoyed their cakes but we found the gelato to resemble a prominent vanilla taste rather than honey. Overall, we have great experience. The staff were friendly and personable. Food was tasty and hearty (other than arancini). Would come again.

    I cant believe it took me this long to check this place out! Its kind of cafeteria style you order at the counter when you go in they give you a number to put on your table and then they bring it to you. The pizza was delicious! We had the eastie which had sausage and hot peppers on it the crust was just the right amount of breading to put the burn of the peppers out. The desert was outstanding and really inexpensive. Pistachio ricotta pie ive literally never seen it before and had to try it im glad I did. Another thing I had to try because I had never seen it before was the pizza wine....that you can skip just go for one of there delicious mixed drinks we finished the night w the espresso martinis and they were delicious. The only downside is parking is hard to come by so if you can uber walk or take the blue line I would strongly suggest it (and that makes it so you can try more of the drinks too)

    Everything was so tasty and fresh! such a cute atmosphere ! The staff is very friendly and don't get me started on the sweet treats ! Tons of gelato flavors and desserts. They also have wine and cocktails. If you are in the east boston area you must stop in!

    This is a very cute cafe located right in the east end! I got the Caprese and pepperoni pizza. The pizza itself was very light and fluffy. The tomato was very fresh complimenting the cheese nicely. The pepperoni pizza was delicious. The hot honey was my favorite part. The service was pretty fast. They had plenty of seating but we decided to take the pizza and eat it by the harbor which was only a 5 min walk. I would love to come here again to try the pastries and gelato.

    Had the need one evening for pizza but wanted a good pizza if that makes sense. I avoided the recommendations. The hotel gave me for local places to get a pizza. I did a little research and came up with this place and I'm so glad I did. It would've cost too much to Uber there eat an Uber back so I opted to do Uber eats for the first time . I called this place and had a few questions in the gentleman answered. The phone was so very polite and extremely helpful. . I wish I would've visited the restaurant maybe next time . Let's just say the pizza is amazing full of flavor. The crust was done to perfection and it was rather fast on a delivery, which I was very impressed with for the first time using Uber eats .

    The gelato was so good! We ate it all before I could get a picture, but the tiramisu and lemon ice were great. There's some seating in the back and also a tv playing soccer if you wanted to get a drink and hang out.

However it may not be the pick for someone who just wants the basic American tasting kind, and not really a dine in kind of place. I also got a ceaser salad and was surprised to see freshly shredded mozzarella on top, something I've never seen before in a boxed salad like that. Overall very nice, wonderfully made. I only gave four stars because it was a bit too tangy for my own personal taste, but I'm sure many others will find it five stars! *Also, regarding the previous comments about the pizza being soupy at first bite, I did not experience this!

    Small shop on Broadway in Everett that's gotten some strong influencer push (read: hype) over the…read morelast six months, so curiosity led me there, but with no expectations (I generally take strong influencer push with a grain of salt). There are six tiny tables just large enough to hold a pizza box, and barely any standing room; it's mostly all about the takeout. Street parking isn't easy, but fairly achievable at $1 an hour at meters. There's a Walgreens parking lot right next door, but highly risky. Offsetting the minor logistical hassles is the convenient availability of slices, a rarity at pizza joints of this caliber. -- Pepperoni Pizza: A beautiful visual and a beautiful flavor and texture. I'll start with the crust, which strike me as a cross between Greek and New Haven: same airiness as Greek, but without the grease; thin and crisp like a New Haven, but without the heavy char. I liked that combination. Minimal droopage (I don't use Portnoy's f-word). The tomato was strong-- dark and spicy with good use of black pepper and oregano. The cheese was light in volume but very sharp. The pepperoni was somewhat thick and top-notch quality. On top of all that, fresh grated cheese for more sharpness and extra texture. The autumnal droppings of giant raw basil leaves didn't really add anything, but they didn't take anything away. Overall, great pizza. Elite, even. -- Cheesesteak: Ordered with onions on their excellent homemade sesame seed roll that's become commonplace among cheesesteak joints, but Square Deli was among the first to do it. Crusty on the outside, but with flexibility-- a great vessel. The beef is ribeye and it's shredded, kind of like a shredded beef dish at a Chinese restaurant. The pieces are flat and reasonably tender. The cheese is sharp, but it tastes and feels more like a beef sandwich with cheese, rather than that singular concoction of lusciousness that is Big Al's in Billerica. The onions added a little something but weren't as noticeable as the namesake ingredients. Good quality beef, cheese, and roll, all of it arriving piping hot, make it very satisfying. Overall, excellent, but not the elite I'd hoped. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: A giant, soft creation with a little something extra in the dough. Maybe coffee? A solid offering. As for the hype: Square Deli came through in flying colors on the pizza, and fell a little short on the cheesesteak, but it was still a very, very good cheesesteak. As for stars, an easy 5.

As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

Oddly, some of the best sandwiches we had in Italy came from a gas station travel plaza on the way from Rome to Florence. We haven't found a similar sandwich in the US ... until here. The meats are sliced fresh and all the sandwiches are made by hand. You have a lot of choices ... and the menu is odd. It stretches from one end of the ordering counter to the other ... it's so long that it's difficult to read the choices at the beginning of the sign. We got the Paradiso, which is made with Mortadella (imagine a thin-sliced bologna) with pistachio cream. Thoughts on the sandwich: Size: - This is one of those places which gives you too much sandwich. I'd come back more often if the sandwiches were $10 - $12 for a single portion. Honestly, the sandwiches here could probably feed two people ... which is fine because it allowed us to split it. However, if I am getting lunch for myself, I don't want to pay double and take a half home. Ingredients: - The best part of the sandwich was the foccacia bread. It was crisp but light ... had a little bit of oil on it and it was dense enough to fill you up. Slightly salty. - The mortadella was high quality ... but at the end of the day, $20 for a bologna sandwich is tough. Also, I was a little surprised at how thin of a layer they put on for the price. - Pistachio/Cream ... Very sweet, I felt like I would have liked a little more savory to balance it out. The sandwich was very pistachio forward and that was the predominant taste. I'd have liked the mortadella to stand out more. Overall, you won't find a sandwich as similar to what you'd get in Italy anywhere else. This place is a bit over hyped in my opinion but the sandwiches are pretty authentic to what you'd find in Italy. Unique combinations and high quality ingredients but the prices are just so fucking sky high here. - The bread is the best part

    Incredible - just about identical to what I had at the Florence location. It might be sad, but my…read moreday trip from Providence RI to Boston was centered around getting a sandwich here. I got the La Paradiso which has Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream and pistachio ($19). The focaccia bread is out of this world, and I absolutely love the combination of creamy stracciatella with pistachio cream and mortadella. Their sandwiches are massive, and while I am able to finish one no problem, the average appetite would have two meals out of one sandwich. La Paradiso was the same sandwich I got in Italy so I gotta mix it up next time. The service is quick and friendly.
