Good food, good service. A local pizza spot that serves dinners on china (not paper plates). Although I ordered at the counter, they brought the food to my table. The opening salad was simple, fresh, and arrived fast. The hot entree arrived just as I was done with the salad. read more

Ordered a calzone with four toppings. They got one wrong and forgot another one. They were closed when I called back to see if they could send me another one. Thanks Gaya. read more

At first I'd only tried the chicken broccoli Alfredo, which I found a little bit bland and could've used more broccoli... chicken was a little fatty/stringy. Came with standard issue garlic bread. Not bad, but not something I really wanted to go back for. However, considered pizza is their main deal and the ratings were consistently pretty good, I figured it would be worth trying at least one pizza. First tried just a pepperoni pizza. It was good, can't say much more about it: not the best ever but no complaints either. Good crust, good cheese, decent sauce, plenty of pepperoni. I've also done the Classic Buffalo Chicken Pizza twice, and personally I liked it so much I ordered another not even a week later. In my opinion the pizzas are cooked a little on the light side, so if you prefer a crispier crust maybe ask for it to stay in the oven an extra minute or two. read more

Staying in the area for a couple days. This place is a hidden gem for yummy food. An extensive menu in a small place. Eight of us ate in, not much room for more people. All different food items were quickly prepared, came out hot n fresh, with large portions. Prices are quite affordable. Don't pass this up. read more

It was late night and me and my husband had friends over so we decided to order some pizza. We found Gaya on Yelp and after checking the pictures we decided to give it a shot! We order one XL half pepperoni and half greek. The pizza was huge! It was definitely extra large! They sliced it in 8 slices though - 12 would be perfect! Everyone loved it! The greek was delicious and the pepperoni was the right amount of greasy - not too much! Also the crust was really good! All my friends mentioned it! They said it would take 30 min and I believe it was even faster than that. The pizza arrived hot! Amazing!! We will definitely order there again!! read more

I would sell my boyfriend for their Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Pizza. Seriously, it's so delicious. I usually order a large and eat the leftovers over a week's time. Due to my love of this particular pizza I have failed to try anything else from Gaya but I imagine there are other gems. They lose a star for their VERY slow delivery. This place is not far from my place but it always takes an hour plus no matter what day or what time I order. It's not worth the delivery fee. Just pick it up. read more

I've seen this place while riding past on the bus. Been wanting to try it for a long time. Finally ordered a pizza through Seamless and it was good. Delivery guy called for directions. The food was hot. Best pizza in the area I've had so far. Look at the nice picture. read more

This is my first time ordering from Gaya. I specifically ordered because it had good reviews on Yelp. I ordered the Mediterranean Pizza online, but I loathe red onions so under special instructions I wrote "no red onions please!" My fiancee just arrived home with the pizza and it is covered with red onions. I'm unhappy to say the least. Update: I originally gave Gaya one star based on the onion mix up. However, the pizza was delicious after I picked off the onions and given the store owner's immediate polite comment recognizing the mistake and offering to make the pizza again I'm rating Gaya with 4 stars based not only on the pizza, but also on the customer service. read more

Just not real food in any capacity and no one in this place is Italian .... The only thing decent is chicken cutlet sandwich and it's only good cause it's $9 read more

This place was very satisfying. I was super hungry for the whole day and didn't know what to eat so when I seen this local restaurant I said let me give it a try. I am a very picky eater and boy let me tell you I was satisfied everything was cooked to perfection and you could tell the industry was careful on making their foods and making their foods have a lot of great flavor and seasoning. Very much recommended. I got a cheeseburger, chicken tenders , garlic knots and fried mushrooms. The atmosphere was very welcoming and it made the whole experience better. read more

FINALLY, we have a go-to pizza place! There's a serious quality pizza drought in Somerville/Cambridge, but Gaya is filling that gap. The dough is slightly thicker, but cooked through with a crispy crust. The sauce has a little hint of sweetness to it, but I wouldn't call it a "sweet tomato sauce." The cheese is plentiful and the toppings fresh and thoughtfully placed. Overall a damn good pie. We ordered Pepperoni and Buffalo Chicken (not "Classic Buffalo Chicken"). Both were fought over until the last slice! This buffalo chicken had bleu cheese sauce (instead of tomato sauce) under the mozzarella, and this is a case in which that's done right. The chicken was unbreaded, fresh breast sliced small and flat for easy bites. I can't wait to try more from Gaya! **UPDATE! I've gotten Gaya on two more occasions, and I'm still super pleased. Tried the Classic Buffalo Chicken, Meat Lovers, Kids Pizza and Pesto. Classic Buffalo: I prefer the other style. We requested Bleu cheese on the side, and got two portions! Very cool. This style features Marinara sauce. Meat Lovers: my boyfriend liked it more than me, but I'm not crazy about meat lovers anyway! It was nice and spicy, which was a great touch. Kids: a pizza covered in mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders. Obviously it was absolutely amazing. Pesto: incredible flavors! I have never had a pesto pizza so lovingly crafted. I think there was too much pesto, since it was very bold due to the freshness and quality of flavor. I'd rather have too much than too little though! Gaya continues to impress. read more

The best pizza in Bostonville. We had a cheese pizza and chicken wings, and both were awesome. Place was clean welcoming. Service was good as well. Will definitely come back again. read more

I order from Gaya almost weekly and have never had a bad experience. The food is always good, it almost always arrives before the estimated delivery time, and they give you a 10% discount if you order online (which usually covers at least the cost of the delivery fee). Our favorites are the Sweet & Sour Chicken Pizza, the BBQ Chicken Pizza, and the Four Cheese White Pizza. read more

I went to Gaya with the idea of getting a pizza but instead ended up going for some subs. This place is really close to where I used to live and I'm so upset that I didn't find it now when I live by Porter. It's a pretty small place with few seating and a very casual atmosphere. The menu is rather extensive and you can get pizza with a bunch of toppings (I don't think they do slices but rather entire pies small medium or large) as well as a bunch of different subs, a range of appetizers, and about three or so dessert options. I tried the eggplant parm sub as well as the chicken Caesar salad sub. I love he toasted bread they use - it's amazing and tastes really good. The eggplant parm sub was my favorite with the eggplant cooked really well and battered well. The sauce was good and they didn't hold back on the cheese - thankfully. I'm not a huge fan of subs but definitely enjoyed this one. The Caesar sub was a bit of an odd choice since the sub came with croutons. Nevertheless, the chicken was really tasty as were the greens and the Caesar dressing wasn't overwhelming. Will definitely come back and try their pizza next times since it looks and smells really good! read more

Don't bother with this place - terrible service Ordered uber eats pickup and was notified it was ready to be picked up. Went in to pick up my food and the owner said it was not ready, was not even close and laughed at me. Said that I just ordered it a min ago how could it be ready. They could not care less - flat out rude read more

Boring house salad, they should add some thing to give it more flavor. It also tasted as if the lettuce had not been washed. Could be wrong, I hope not. I also ordered a chicken salad wrap. Dry and not a typical American chicken salad, in the trash... read more

I order from here all of the time and I just put in order asking for a pizza with pineapples, jalapeños and bacon on the left side. I even specified that when I ordered. It just showed up I didn't get a pizza but a calzone with a bunch of stuff inside of it that I didn't ask for so I call them to tell them they sent me the wrong thing. The man who answered the phone said yeah I was going to call you okay but you didn't and also didn't offer to remake it but to make it right the next time. I'm truly disappointed in the response of whoever answered the phone and whatever it is that they made me because it's not good. read more

I tried this place today to see if it lived up to the perfect reviews on yelp and I have to say that it does. First off the prices are great, much cheaper than a lot of the other joints in town. I ordered from grub hub and scheduled a delivery for 5:00pm. They were 10 minutes late so at first I was upset (hangry, ya know) but the driver was apologetic and threw in a free soda to make up for it! Any other delivery person I've had be late before didn't even acknowledge it so this was definitely above and beyond customer service. I got a meat lovers pizza and there was A TON of meat. I mean very generous, and the sausage was AMAZING! I wanted to eat the whole 14" myself.... Overall this was a great experience and I will definitely be ordering here many many more times. read more

Ordered an Italian sub with no peppers, tomatoes or pickles and it was covered in all three. Inedible and gross. First, who puts pickles on an Italian sub but secondarily, how hard is it to follow simple instructions that were repeated back correctly when calling in the order. Will never return. Eating crackers for dinner. read more

My first experience with Gaya was when my wife was in labor with our son. We'd been in the hospital all day and were starving. I found this place on yelp and ordered a steak pizza. The delivery guy got there almost exactly when the baby came, it was a double delivery! The pizza was great, but in the chaos of having a small baby I totally forgot about the pizza. Today I was finally reunited with the delicious pizza. Enough storytelling. The pizza is really good. I've had a steak pizza and a chicken bacon ranch. The toppings are good quality, the sauce, cheese, and crust are all excellent, and the price is reasonable. What else could you possibly ask for with a pizza? Also their specialty pizzas are innovative and tasty. Give it a try! read more

Great, inexpensive pizza. Ordered the Mediterranean and it was amazing. This is going to be my go to pizza place from now on. Also ordered onion rings, and they were exactly what I was hoping for when I order onion rings. Super tasty. read more

I love their pizza so much. Owner seems like a super nice hardworking guy... One delivery driver is amazing, the other is pretty bad and tries to get you to come down to get your food. Prices are fantastic and I'm very happy with this place overall (minus the bad delivery guy) read more

We live just over the bridge in Medford but they wouldn't deliver to us so we had to pick it up! If you're picking up or getting delivery, I highly recommend popping the pizza in the oven to reheat it and get the crust nice and crispy again before you eat it. The gaya special and the buffalo chicken pizza werie both really good. The jalapeno poppers were PHENOMENAL. I can't wait to try more from Gaya!! read more

Yes, had delivery to a hotel in Charlestown and it was piping hot, delicious and so worth the find. How deep into Boston do you deliver? Pizza was just some of the best I think I have ever had. Will do this again and again and again when staying in the city. read more

Perfect, easy pizza/sub place. I always get a cold turkey sandwich and fries for delivery up to once a week. It's always delivered so fast and instructions are followed. Cheap too! read more

Oh Em Gee. I am so glad I found this place for delivery. Since moving here, I have tried a lot of places for pizza and although some were pretty good, they were never consistent. I'm hoping Gaya will be consistently good from now on because it is going to be my go to pizza delivery. I had people over last night and we ordered 2 large cheese pizzas, 2 large fries, large chicken wings, and a chick parm sub. Everything. Was. Amazing. It was all gone within 15 minutes and everyone kept asking where I got it from. Also, when I called in to make the order, the guy who took my order was extremely nice and didn't rush me like most other places. Customer service is absolutely important to me, so I had to give the people back at the store a shout out for their friendliness! You will be hearing from me again soon! read more

We live just a few blocks from this place...it used to be a pizza place (I think?) but we only ever ordered frozen yogurt from there. I saw the new sign a month ago and was intrigued...after reading the nice reviews decided to take a chance. We ordered a Margherita pizza, chicken parm and penne, and mozz sticks. Very impressed! Everything was great, and we will absolutely be ordering from here again. For some reason, it's hard to find an everyday (I.e not fancy pizza place) place to order pizza, pasta, subs, etc around here. Even though it was all good, the mozzarella sticks were my favorite! read more

My favorite neighborhood pizzeria! I like to order here every time I go back home. The fried eggplant topping is especially delicious, as are their white pizzas. I have to branch out one of these days and try more or their side dishes, like the poutine fries. Great pizzeria selection for a tasty delivery meal! read more

This place in amazing. The pizza was fantastic, the chicken parm sub was amazing. I can't recommend this place enough. I came here when I saw the reviews. I figured it was probably going to be all right. It exceeded my expectation and then some. If your reading this give it a shot I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality. read more

Tasty, creative dishes, well priced. Much better than your average pizza shop. I work in the food industry and rarely eat pizza. But a friend invited me to try out a new place that opened up in Somerville - and I am glad I did. Delicious spread, fresh ingredients, and lot of creativity can be felt in the way the owner (Mike) approaches the business. What impressed me is how hard the owner works. This was late Friday night and the phone was going off the hook. Mike would run up, take the order, and set his delivery guys going. Then he would (literally!) jog back to the prep table to continue kneading dough and loading the oven, alongside other workers. Energizer Bunny himself would be envious if such energy! The kitchen is an open format, so you can see all of this. Another thing that stood out - sanitation. The owner consistently and properly changed gloves and showed good food storage and usage habits. (I notice things like that, being in the industry.) Food is tasty, prices are very reasonable, and while I rarely eat pizza, the times that I do, I will make it from Gaya's. read more

Went by for Lunch and got pizza. The pizza was delicious, and the dough was perfect. They have a good sized menu with great selections. I'm looking forward to my next time in to dive into their menu. The gentleman working was very nice and polite. The place is not the biggest for dining in, but there is bar stool seating along the front windows, and a few tables. I really liked how clean the place was. When you order you could see into the kitchen and it was comforting to see a very clean organized kitchen. The neighborhood just got a new great resturant. read more

Wow! Found this place on yelp and wow what an amazing pizza. Everything is so fresh and really great quality. No skipping on details, even the sauce is seasoned just so perfectly. We just got a mushroom pizza and the mushrooms are so fresh. The crust is also just so delicious and finished with a perfect crisp. Definitely recommend this place. By far one of the best pizzas ever. My pic doesn't do this place justice. read more

Penne bolognese. Cut hamburger patty that was terrible. Almost no sauce. Everything piled in groups. 30 minutes late on delivery. Really poor taste. Being generous at best. Drive on by. read more

Was in Somerville to pick up a mouse with a friend and on our way back decided to eat here. Great decision.

Worst takeout food ever!! It was so bad I don't know where to begin...Burnt garlic bread, chicken was barely there in chicken broccoli alfredo with most of the allegedly alfredo not mixed but rather on the bottom of the container in an oily mess. Frozen carrot cake. Mini slice of chocolate cake which was actually flourless and tasted like fudge (if I wanted fudge, I would have ordered fudge!) The combo plate *appetizer was another mess: the tasteless wings were on top of the fries making them a greasy glob and the other chicken was unrecognizable and one bite proved it was shoe leather. When I called to speak to the 'manager', he listened but told me to call Slice since I had paid online and he could/wouldn't help me. It was delivered on time by Slice but it really didn't matter because it was so bad. I wish could just give them an 'F' because Gaya really doesn't deserve one star. read more

The prices and sizes are great but quality is pretty lacking. At the very least, it fell way below my expectations after reading other reviews. The pizza dough is good and the toppings are good but the sauce is extremely bland and more sweet than salty, (if you absolutely require a sweet sauce at least put enough salt to balance it). The sausage topping was also not great and I picked it off. Jalapeño poppers were bland and not even slightly hot, no clue how they managed that but at least my insides are probably thankful. Why serve them with sour cream? All in all, I'm not sure we'll reorder because the pizza just wasn't tasty enough to satisfy a craving. If we do, it'll be in like a year to see if they've fixed their sauce. read more
