Pizza 4/5 Roast beef 2/5* I'm leaving this review so you guys can improve a sandwich that is very close to being perfect. I'm a big roast beef guy. Will travel for it. Have done so for almost 2 decades. This one is so close to being great, but the main ingredient needs a little bit more attention. The onion roll, bbq, Mayo, and cheese are all on point. But the beef needs to be sliced thinner. Many pieces were not able to be bitten through. Too thick for the doneness it's being served at. Had to pull many pieces out in order to eat the sandwich. This was the case for two others I was eating w as well. Not sure if it was just the person slicing that night or what, but yea, get that beast a little thinner and this is a solid solid roast beast sandwich...Dined on 7/7 evening. read more

Pretty confused actually, has the size of the pizza shrunk dramatically from before? Seems like the pizza is half the size as it was when they opened but the price is the same. Got two pizzas, wasn't enough for 2 people, probably have to get 3 now which is sad read more

Amazing pizza. It's a pan pizza so it's SUPER crispy and so delicious. Get the pickle pizza and the junior roast beef sandwich read more

My second time ordering from here via Yelp, and the second time my food was misdelivered, in spite of explicit instructions. Too bad, because the pizza is really good, but the delivery seems to unreliable at best. read more

Tried this for the first time yesterday. The pizza was so fresh and hot! I tried the roast beef and it was pretty good too! read more

Horrible service. Took an hour to receive food, pizzas were burnt, and saw cook use unwashed hands during food prep. We ordered two of the same pickle pizzas which came out entirely different--one was covered in grease, the other was burnt. Had the potential to be good but we left extremely disappointed by the service and cleanliness of this place. read more

Since I am from NYC, I would not think of getting pizza in MA. I saw a couple eating the pizza and the way they ate it was criminal! It looked too good so I had to try. It was a really good pizza for MA! Great quality, great serving, and fast service. Check this spot out if you are in the Bow Market area. read more

One word: Salty. I ordered one cheese and one mushroom and onion pizza and honestly the only reason why I didn't give this place a one star is because I loved the crust but honestly these were the most disappointing pizza I've ever had. The pizzas barely had any sauce and were super salty. I really don't understand how this place got a 4.5 rating. read more

Not South Shore bar pizza. Stop promoting it that way! I have no idea about the roast beef, but the pizza is not South Shore.

Wonderfully caramelized somewhat deeper dish pizza. We ate too much but didn't regret it. Best pizza in Boston.

I got pizza delivered from Hot Box Pizza while I was in Boston for a conference. People recommended the pickle pizza so I decided to try that. The pickles add a nice tangy flavor to the cheesiness of the pizza. One small pie was plenty of food for one person. Give it a try if you're ever in the area. read more

See all

Disgusting. I ordered at 7pm and it's 8:30pm, the two pizzas just got here and they are ice cold and disgusting. Totally inedible. Never order from here. read more

Hot Box - Absolutely disgusting- ordered at 7pm and just arrived at 830pm ice cold. Totally inedible. Never order from here. - Sandwiches Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Honestly my favorite place for pizza! I'm living in Vegas right now and always crave some good pizza when I come home to visit. I tried this place randomly a few trips ago and now it a go to on my list. Also had an encounter with the manager... can't recall his name.. Brendan I believe? Super welcoming and extremely professional! Keep up the good work!! read more

This pizza was below average. Edible but nothing special. Went with the Classic with no toppings. They have a 20-minute wait on Sunday afternoons, which is fine but you would expect better pizza for the wait time. If you want reasonably good pizza in Boston, try Semolina's in Medford. read more

Finding North Shore Roast Beef anywhere is hard south of the city. I'm in Dorchester, and I'm so glad I found Hot Box on Uber Eats to deliver! I got the super beef 3 way and it's what I have been craving for months! The dill pickle pizza was spicy, different and nothing less then delicious! I hope Uber eats keeps delivering from them, I'll definitely be recommending it for other people to try! Thanks so much for delicious foods and keeping local traditions alive! read more

Rich A is completely wrong. This is the best pizza in the history of the world. Italy be damned. Rich A should get a taste bud transplant. read more

One of the few--if only--places in greater Boston that serves legitimate South Shore Style Bar Pizza. It's not Town Spa by any means but it's still excellent. The roast beef sandwiches are also very good. Plus, you can bring their food over to Remnant Brewing next door. read more

Took my kids on a Sunday to check out Bow Market. Didn't realize there was no seating at hot box, have to go to communal sitting in a hall next to the market. Anyway, got the pizza which was mind blowing. I love that burnt crust. Just fantastic. Ordered the roast beef sandwich. Comes with Mayonnaise which I am not a huge fan of. For me, next time with out Mayo. North shore style. read more

I'd be the last person to know what exactly is a South Shore pizza but I have to say the cheese pizza from Hot Box was much better than many I've ordered recently. The pizza was not overcooked or burnt and the serving was enough for leftovers. I ordered via Door Dash and everything came quick and hot. read more

Way too much oil. Great value for the price I paid but I honestly tasted more oil than chicken

perfect south shore pizzas and greet roast beef. the burritos and english muffins are also good. it's great for the price and delivery travels well. pairs perfectly with the brewery next door. read more

PICKLE PIZZA. Omg. As a Texan, I must admit, I had never had pickle pizza, but damn. I'm glad I went with my gut and tried this unusual pie! It was the bomb. read more

AMAZING Pizza, perfect and the roast beef WOW... So so good... So glad you're here!!!! read more

I really wanted to love this place. Love bar pizza, love Somerville, love Union Square, and especially love Bow Market. However, this was my experience: - the pizza was okay -- I found it to be a bit too greasy (yes, it's pizza but this was a little over the top for me) and the crust was overly charred to the point where our mouths tasted like charcoal for a good while after finishing - I ordered off GrubHub/yelp, since I was at a loud bar nearby and wanted to order online and that was the option I saw when I googled. When I picked up the pies, the guy at the counter asked why I used GrubHub. I told him that it was for convenience or something along those lines, and he replied with some sarcastic quip like: "that's a 30% charge on us, great, thanks". I guess I understand that restaurant margins suck, but why take this out on the customer? Isn't GrubHub opt-in? If it's a bad deal for you, then don't use them? Sorry if I I'm missing something, but just felt rude and was a bad customer experience. Anyway, I left with a pretty bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. read more

Ordered the mushroom & onion pizza. It was definitely good, but a bit smaller than I had expected for the price. I went on a Sunday evening, and they had already run out of the sauce required for the white pizza, which was a bummer. The wait time was longer than I had expected, and I recommend calling ahead and ordering over the phone to save yourself time. There is also no indoor seating, and all orders are "to-go." They also don't have any forks, which was super annoying, because I do appreciate utensils. No parmesan or any of those sorts of pizza toppings either. The service also wasn't fantastic. And, not a whole lot of good vegetarian options. The pizza was tasty, but overall, probably wouldn't go back unless I ordered it beforehand on the phone and took the order home/elsewhere to eat. read more

Great place. Good food. I love the pizza and the super three ways are on point. Definitely try it.

This little gem is well worth a visit. Friendly order taker and quick service resulted in a fine mushroom and onion pie that was cooked to perfection. It was a great option right before the comedy studio. Enjoy!! read more

Pizza was delicious!! The pizza was cooked just the way I like it, cheese cooked fully with thin dough crust and crispy edges. So good!!The staff is friendly and service was great They are located in the center of Bow Market which has lots of other places to offer for a fun outing all day. I can't wait to go back and try the dill pickle pizza Check am out, you won't be disappointed! read more

We ordered the junior roast beef on a sesame roll. The beef was extremely tender, and the BBQ sauce has the perfect amount of kick to it. It's located in an adorable little square/market so you can check out a bunch of artisan vendors after your meal! read more

Super delicious!!!! Got half pepperoni / half mushroom. Recommend!! Combine it with a beer at remnants beer garden and you're night is a success for sure! read more

Amazing roast beef sandwich, just be ready with napkins! A little bit of a a wait, but well worth it.

Best Pizza in Town. I ordered the pickle pizza and was very surprised to the quality and taste of the pizza. Will order again!!!!

I thought this place was great the first few times I went there but similar to a lot of my favorite roast beef places the quality seems to be going downhill. The last couple roast beefs I have gotten there were pretty much inedible hard chewy clumps of meat. The pizza is pretty consistently good though read more

This review pertains to their service and their food. I ordered delivery through door dash but realized that I hade mistakenly ordered only one instead of two pizzas (exact same pizzas, same additions, not complicated). I called Hot Box and was put on hold, when I realized that I wasn't on hold just off the receiver and after several minutes of the guy chatting with his mates, I hang up and call back. I get the same guy, who seemed "out of it", and explained the situation. He did not understand. After multiple passes, I get him to understand that we're missing a pizza and to make two of the same pizzas. Mid sentence he starts talking to other people about other thing, without warning for several minutes. At this point the driver is heading there way. I ask him to check my order. He explains that there is no such order. That's bewildering, as I have a receipt right here. At this point I call and text the driver (no reply at any point but that's not relevant to this review). Within moments of arriving, the driver... picks up my order? So my order is there? Ok well now the driver is on the way with half the order but at least it's what we ordered... right? WRONG! No drink and the pizza is missing ALL the toppings. It's ice cold, greasy and burnt on the edges. God awful and will never order again. read more

I can't get enough of their south shore bar pizza- every single one is amazing, even the dill pickle! Also, the sauce on the roast beef is FIRE. So good and an awesome addition to Somerville. read more

Trash restaurant. Ordered food from them. Waited 1.5 hours. Turned out they took the order and then closed. Avoid

I would give this 1 star. I order cheese pizza on the Toast Takeout app and it said it would be ready at 6:30. So I took the time and drove over there. Not only it wasn't ready, they weren't aware that I ordered. I gave them my name and showed them my order on the app. That's when I decided to tell them to give me a credit. Unacceptable and unprofessional. How did they let this happened? I'll be watching my account to give if they really credit to my account. read more

Honestly their Super Beef and White Pizza are so so soooo good. I go here atleast once a week. I have yet to venture into their breakfast but that's my next go to. read more

It is a cute little place. I got the roast beef sandwich. The sauces were amazing and BBQie. The beef was spot on for texture and taste.

Great pizza, better service. There was a mix up with our order, and the team at Hot Box was so kind and quick to fix it. The pizza is soooooo good, and the perfect size for two. This will be our new neighborhood spot :) read more
