    Like a Pepperoni
    Olivia K.

    Date night at June Bug did not disappoint! Such a cute and cozy atmosphere with friendly staff! Something I will definitely order again is the kitchen sink salad. If you like Italian Sub, tangy dressing, this one is for you! It is sweet and salty and sour and satisfying. I also liked the pizza - I wanna try the other ones but we tried their seasonal apres ski (potato bacon) pizza and their like a pepperoni pizza. Lastly, I tried their flan and it wasn't my favorite :( I prefer more of a light, pudding-like, caramel-forward flan, but it was much more dense. Either way, I'll be back!

    I love this pizza spot in Somerville's Union Square! The vibes here are so cool and cozy, and the food is really delicious. Definitely make reservations beforehand to guarantee a seating. I've been here twice and both times I ordered their fingerling potatoes and the like a pepperoni pizza. Their salads are good too, but the pizza is the star! The dough has the perfect crispy, chewy, and airy texture and the flavors are so good. Great spot for a date night or a night out with friends. They have a good selection of drinks as well. If you drive, there is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant, or there are metered spots nearby and Somerville resident parking spots around.

    The Shuggie

    Make reservations! That's the best advice I can give. Parking was pretty rough. The tiny lot was about 50% occupied by construction. Another 30% by the outdoor seating pop up. Most of the streets around it are permit only. Get there early because you could spend 20 minutes finding parking. There is a 20% automatic gratuity on every bill. Fortunately the waitress was great. I might be upset if I was charged it and the waitress wasn't good. Tipping is how customers show appreciation or indicate the service was lacking. If it's always added as a flat rate you lose that ability. The mussels appetizer was great. Loved the sauce and the toasted bread. Pizza wise: the Shuggie is your standard Margherita pie. Very good. The dough is excellent. The chimney sweep is blue cheese and pine nuts and I think basil. That one was good also. The dough was the best part. It's in a wood fired oven. Ambience is nice. The place has a good vibe. No soft drinks really. At least not your basic ones. So you're sort of guided into more expensive options. I do wish they had Mexican coke though. That's my favorite drink with pizza. Overall it's worth visiting. Due to parking I would never chance it on a Friday or Saturday.

    Vodka pizza with peppers

    This is delicious sourdough pizza with a tangy crust and a nice robust sauce. The schuggie has a nice basil pesto with a little kick, basil and fresh mozzarella. The crust is nice and airy so not too heavy. Service is great with 20% gratuity already added and the interior has a nice ambiance.

    Pepperoni and basil pizza - delicious!!

    Met a friend last minute, only seating was at the bar, which was perfect for talking with the mixologist/bartender. He made a perfect black manhattan and his suggested wine pairings for our food orders enhanced the meal. We dove into the tuna tartar before taking a picture. The chopped pistachios and heavy citrus flavor is not for everyone but we enjoyed the dish once our expectations were adjusted. The shrimp toast was saltier than I liked but it was a favorite for my dining companion. We both loved the fingering potatoes, cornbread and our pizzas. Definitely worth the trip! I look forward to going back when I can enjoy the patio!

    I loveeee June bug. The Vermont pizza was exquisite and super sweet bartender than you for the complimentary bitters

    Beet salad
    Paula P.

    I had the occasion to be in Somerville for the first time in decades and stumbled into June Bug just outside of Union Square. I was reminded that it is a good idea to venture off Cape Cod more often if for no other reason to experience such spectacular atmosphere, service and food. Our starter was a roasted cabbage salad with a lemon mustard dressing, encrusted with breadcrumbs, amazing flavor. We followed that with a beet salad with generous chunks of locally sourced beets, winter citrus and onion topped with a blood orange glaze and smooth cashew butter. The finish was a brick oven pizza featuring smoked cheddar, sliced apple, caramelized onion and fennel sausage on a naturally leavened crust. Risky but flawless. Every bite was delectable. I would go out of my way to return.

    Very cute restaurant in Union Square! Came on a weekday and didn't need a reservation at all. I love how cozy and colorful the decor was. Our server was great, super friendly and consistently filling our glass. We tried both a salad and pizza- both were delicious and perfect for sharing!

    The chimney sweep pizza
    S H.

    Wow this is such a cute and artistic place with brick walls and colorful art on the walls! We tried the pizzas: the chimney sweep and Dylan's garlic one - we loved both of them! Wood fired but the crust was so soft! For the chimney sweep, you really need to love bleu cheese or you shouldn't get it! We also tried their charred orange lemonade which was quite on the sweet side but was refreshing!

    Love the ambiance inside and the pizza is definitely worth the buzz. It is a cozy yet bustling spot that is warmly lit by lamps inside that makes it a great slightly nicer than casual date spot. We tried other dishes from the menu and although they are good, they are bit pricey for what they are. The service was quick and friendly with any question we have.

    Shuggies
    Marni M.

    Came here with reservations on a Tuesday night. It was about half full when we arrived but by the time we left, every seat was taken. For appetizers we shared Blue fin tuna crudo and Fluke & bay scallop tartar. Both were incredibly fresh and hit every taste bud possible. The habanero really came through every so slightly in between each bite of tuna. Sun choke chips were delicately thin and salty but perfect for the scallops. Unsure of the portions, we ordered two pizzas between the two of us. I found both the Dylan's special pie and the shuggie's pizza to be individually unique. As a huge fan of pesto, it was like eating a deconstructed form on a pizza. Paper thin sliced cabbage as a topping was also a first for me but with the chewy thin crust and fresh squeeze of lemon juice, it was a perfect match. To finish off our meal, we shared the Apple crisp with ginger ice cream. Can never go wrong with a warm dessert topping with a cold scoop of cream. Being not a big fan of cooked fruit, it still kept my interest. But I was certainly more of a fan of the ginger ice cream. Overall, I had a perfect experience. Our waitress was attentive, professional, and timely. Establish is eclectic all the way from their decor to their dishes and cutlery. Looking forward to coming again and highly recommend others to check them out!

    Amazing gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian options -- and they have a location in…read moreCohasset that isn't listed anywhere, we found it on a Reddit thread lol. We ordered online from their actual website, and the online menu was very clearly labeled and was SO thorough in explanations and checkmark boxes for variations and letting the place know about allergies and such. That is rare to find, and people with allergies always have to worry about that kind of thing, it's a whole to-do. IYKYK. If you have celiac, it may not be a great option as they have cross contamination for their pizzas. Anyways, now the grand reveal: I got a gluten free and dairy free pizza with various toppings and it was GREAT!! It's rare to find a pizza place that can fill the place of regular pizza when you have gluten & dairy allergies, but this comes close! I'm very happy with what I ordered. It is pricey, and their extras are pricey to add on. However, I don't really care as it is rare to be able to enjoy pizza for me. They also provide little gf/df marshmallow treats as a little dessert, for free. That was a nice surprise. Companies don't do stuff like this, so it goes a long way in my book! Overall, great allergy friendly pizza place, and also for regular folks who want a regular pizza. Everyone will be happy.

    They had a lot of vegan pizza and appetizer options, which is always great to see…read more We got the vegan meatball pizza & the vegan mushroom and caramelized onion pizza. The great was great, and the vegan cheese was some of the better I've had on pizza. The meatballs didn't really taste like meatballs, but they were yummy. We enjoyed both pizzas, but didn't feel blown away. The vegan potato bombs were yummy, though--delicious sauce. Overall, a good experience!

    I held this year's birthday dinner here. I had a good impression of Coda Restaurant Group before,…read moreand this place did not disappoint. Prosciutto: The best dish of the meal. The prosciutto slices were perfectly salty, rich in fat, and smooth, wrapped around the refreshing sweetness of kumquats, the delicate creaminess of stracciatella cheese, the crunch and nutty aroma of pistachios, and topped with a smoky touch of sumac powder. It had a rich and distinct flavor profile while offering a gentle and comfortable taste. Spaghetti: The refreshing lemon and basil paired with the umami crab meat is a classic combination. Chili oil added a touch of spice and aroma, while pea tendrils provided a light herbal fragrance. The sauce was emulsified very smoothly, making it both rich and palatable, although the spaghetti itself didn't leave a particularly strong impression. Half Chicken Milanese: A large portion, perfect as a main course to share. The chicken cutlet was thick, fried to a fragrant perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Wrapped in lettuce and eaten with mayonnaise, it brought back memories of the fast food stalls outside my school when I was a child. This was my first time trying rhubarb stems. The tangy and refreshing taste cut through the richness, and the texture was like softer celery and firmer green bell peppers - quite interesting. Duck Bacon Pizza: The most highly rated pizza online, and it was truly delicious! The rich, savory flavor of the duck bacon, the succulent richness of the shimeji mushrooms, and the mellow sweetness of the caramelized onions, combined with the creamy cheese base, made it a calorie bomb, but I still felt it was the right choice. Unfortunately, the crust was a bit hard, making it difficult to cut with a knife. Cotechino Pizza: This was my first time trying a pizza with sweet potatoes, and I couldn't help but admire their innovation. The colors were vibrant, and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes paired with the smoky aroma of Cotechino sausage bits created a full yet harmonious flavor, evoking the feeling of being in the southern Italian countryside in early autumn, basking in the bright sunshine and the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest. The restaurant offered menus printed with "Happy Birthday," and the waiters provided professional cake-cutting service. Overall, a very comfortable experience.

    Stopped in based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Yelp. Showed up around 7pm on a Sunday…read moreand it was near capacity but we were able to be seated right away. The dining room is fairly small with some bar seating available as well. It was clean and bright. It took about 7 mins for the server to come over and she lead with "are you ready to order?" I guess simple pleasantries are useless anyway. We knew our drinks and appetizers order but not what we wanted for pizza yet so we ordered those and told her we'd order pizzas when the apps and drinks came. She came back about 3 minutes later and asked if we were ready to order yet. Feeling pressured, we ordered thinking that perhaps they close soon (not the case). The bartender delivered our drinks a few minutes later and about 5 mins after that both the appetizers and pizza arrived at the same time. Besides the fact that our table wasn't large enough to accommodate all that food and drink, it was never our intention to eat our appetizers with our meal. The good news is that the food was hot, fresh and tasty. The potato bombs were excellent. Crispy home fry like potatoes and the peppers had a nice heat. I would love to try the popper version next time. The pizzas were good too, but be prepared for floppy and slightly under done base crust but a perfectly charred edge crust. I find many wood fired pizza to come this way but I did see other reviews mention this as a negative. The bill comes in a small ball jar with a delicious rice crispy treat. While the jar worked it must have made it hard to see that I dropped my credit card in it, so after the waitress walked by a few times I removed the card and made it visible on the table. When the tab came to sign I was not given a pen. I should have walked out and just let them charge me for just the tab but I cannot stiff waitstaff, even when it's poor service. My only hope is that it was the waitress's first day and she somehow figures out the typical cadence and procedure involved in waiting tables. Food was a solid 4 but service was a 2 so I landed on a 3. I would definitely go back hoping for a better server.
