I highly recommend this pizza place and I literally haven't technically ordered anything yet. I was curious if they had the greek style pizza cooked in the shallow black pans; so I walked in. I was greeted by a super friendly person at the counter who gave me a free slice as a sample! It was perfect and just what I was looking for. I'll definitely make this a regular stop for pizza and subs. Thanks you! read more

Pizza pizza! If you are looking for great pizza this is the spot! This nice pizza joint offers yummy pizzas and huge calzones! My bf and I have ordered to go and have also dined in many times. It's our go to spot. The pizza is always cooked perfectly with the right amount of sauce and toppings. They have a fully stocked fridge filled with soft drinks and potato chips to purchase. We always seem to order pepperoni with olives which never disappoints. The slices of pepperoni are nice and big and very good. They have the option of ordering either a small pizza or large and we always finish a large no problem between the both of us. We should definitely try other pizza toppings but for now we will stick to our favorite! Cause it's so good! read more

Might be one of the best dough-sauce-cheese ratios I've had in the Watertown area. It's been a while since we have come back here but not because we didn't like to. Just went on a hiatus to try other pizza shops. It will be back in the rotation! Not to mention if you're a mozz stick fan, they are one of the few I've seen in the whole Boston area that carries the best style. Try em. read more

Oh goodness! Long time customer. Believe the pizza recipe has changed. Pizza sauce is not what it used to be!! The original recipe at Michael's and Gregory's was perfection. Why mess with perfection?! :( read more

Good neighborhood pizza and sandwich spot. My buddy had a chicken Caesar wrap that he said was one of the best he'd ever had, and I had a few slices of pizza that were pretty standard neighborhood comfort food quality. The French fries were great and crispy as well. I live only a couple blocks away and will be back frequently. read more

Michael's Pizza - Rip off - charged $30.49 for a large pizza!! - Pizza Near Me - Belmont, Massachusetts

Best pizza around! Big new fan! I moved here 8 years ago. Could not find a favorite pizza place. I found it! Tried the spinach pies! Better than sophias. Who knew? Love her place but the spinach pies rock here. The pizza is wonderfully exactly what I want in a local pizza. Thank goodness. These times are hard enough. read more

I haven't ordered from this place in years but did a couple of times in the last couple months, and the pizza is a marked improvement from what they were putting out regularly some years ago. The crust is nice and crispy, before it was a soggy mess. I find it too greasy still though. read more

I've been going to Michael's Pizza for a while. Every time I call I ask them not to over cook it but they don't listen. I bring the pizza home because I don't want to complain or give them hard time. Usually the cheese pizza is over cook and the others are ok. But this time I ordered three pizzas and all of them were really bad. The dough was very thin and sauce was too salty. Michael's Pizza is done for me. It's funny when you know how to make pizza from A to Z but they are trying to teach you how pizza is made. And last but not least, He told me to wait outside until my order is ready and I was wearing a mask, but he wasn't even wearing one. read more

The pizza is pretty tasty, the sauce is very different from any other sauce I've had at a pizza place, tastes like red peppers but it's good. read more

been coming here since i was a little girl and the food only gotten better! employees are very nice , food is amazing . i recommend there cheese pizza ! read more

The can not get a door dash order right. If you order a calzone under the tab sometimes it comes back right other times it's just a regular pizza. Just kind of a coin flip on what you get. Sadly the regular pizza is not as good. read more

I finally decided to try Michael's pizza after driving by this place for several years now, just didn't feel enticed enough to stop here till now. However, with all the coronavirus situation engulfing our lives, I decided to try Michael's pizza for lunch, as I have been trying many small businesses around the area. When I looked at the menu, it ominously reminded me of a bad takeout place in King of Prussia, PA. But my personal association with a place in another state shouldn't really objectively affect my choices. I went online and decided to "text my order". Given that I consider my phone to be my soul, texting the order in seemed great (and an attractive value proposition). The ordering experience was very easy. I got the small three topping pizza with grilled chicken, mushroom and garlic. I went there to get the takeout, but had to wait out for a few minutes. I saw the pizza being taken out of the oven and added to the pizza box. I took it and drove home to eat it. The pizza was a little greasy, and there was a lot of cheese on it. The grilled chicken meat was fine, I wouldn't say it broke any significant ground, but it was not terrible, so I'd say it was acceptable. The mushroom and flavoring were also fine but not spectacular. Overall, the pizza was fine. Is this the best pizza have I ever had? Definitely not. Is this the worst pizza I've ever had? Definitely not (I have had some pretty bad pizza). Did it remind me of the pizza from the takeout in King of Prussia? Not really, this was better and less greasier. I didn't quite like the crust of the pizza I got from here and I didn't like the overload of cheese on it. In comparison to other places I've been to, this place would be average. The price is definitely good compared to some of the other places around, though. I paid a total of about $11 for a small pizza with 3 toppings, which is not bad. Will I consider this place again? Probably not, as I can get better quality pizza to my liking around Watertown/Belmont/Cambridge. Note that they have a big menu, and I would've liked to try the spinach and feta pie (spanakopita), and also the homemade rice pudding. So my review here is based on the pizza I ordered only. If I do feel like trying those, and I do, I will make sure I update my review. read more

Michael's Pizza stands out to my family as the best pizza place in the Boston area. The pizza crust is perfect and ingredients are always fresh. The calzones are the best I have ever had-try the chicken parmesan calzones. You can order by text and they are always fast and on time for pickup. The restaurant itself always smells great. read more

Yeah that calzone hit the spot. Cheesy goodness. I went with the small chicken parm and buff chick. Would get again. read more

Good pizza and gyro and a local restaurant with affordable prices. Try their crispy chicken pizza

The pizza was burnt to the point of being inedible and tasteless. Service was poor and hygiene was questionable. 1/2 of one star

Good pizza, hasn't disappointed me. Stays open late and is a reliable joint when you need something local to hit the spot. Would definitely recommend! read more

Pizza was good, but everything else (eggplant sub, steak sub, salad with chicken) was OK. Chicken on the salad was very bland. Eggplant was also pretty bland, not enough tomato sauce. I would just order pizza from here next time. read more

Wow the pizza is amazing. It should be considered a crime of how just the mere thought of indulging in this hot pie makes your mouth water and jaw clench. I usually order a green pepper and mushroom or eggplant pizza, top it with fries and see how much of it I can eat in 30 mins or less. I can eat this pizza everyday and never get tired of it. If you're in the area you should try it for yourself. Other notes: cc accepted Plenty of seating inside 2 hour street parking Very friendly service. read more

This place is a joke. You want horrible food and pizza go ahead. I went 3 days in a row and tried something new each time to give them the benefit of the doubt. Each time it got worse and I tried to tell the guy at the counter, some constructive criticism to try and help with some customer feed back and he got so upset. So I left will never be back even if this was the last place to eat on earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Michael's is a tiny, little, corner store front, at a very busy intersection. Once you find parking (unless you are local and can walk there), you're good to go. Stayed in the area for a while recently, so I've had multiple opportunities to partake of Michael's various menu items. I have, of course, tried their Greek-style pizzas. The sauce is sweet and tangy, the crust is soft, with a perfectly crusty edge. And the toppings are always fresh. Not as much grease as many other pizza joints. I've had the pepperoni, pepper & onion, sausage, meatball, and veggie pizzas. Each has been very tasty. On several visits, I have enjoyed their steak and cheese subs, meatball subs, and Italian subs. The rolls can be grilled if that's your thing. The meatball subs were very good. The sauce was sweet, and not overbearing, and the meatballs were perfectly cooked. The steak & cheese is my favorite (with grilled onions, ketchup, and a little ground pepper). Only once was the steak slightly overcooked for my liking. But, even then, it was tasty. The Italian sub was also filled with fresh deli meats, and served with a smile. Their salads are fresh, and I have yet to try a calzone or their wraps. All of their portions are hearty, not skimpy, and not too huge. It's a tiny place, with three booths, and about 4 two-top tables. It has that typical neighborhood feel, not fancy, but get-in, get-out, simplicity, whether you stay in to eat, or take your food to go. They always seem to be busy, with in-store patrons, phone orders, on-line orders and text orders (very technology-accepting). The staff is very pleasant and patient. I will definitely continue my excursions to Michael's. Highly recommended. read more

Stopped by for the first time as I live local and was looking for an alternative after Andrea's pizza closed in Watertown. Ordered a small house special pizza which was very good. Paid using my debit card and I now realize checking my bank account that I was charged for a large pizza and didn't notice when the error when the transaction was made. They substantially overcharged me on my order, but the pizza was good. read more

YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES! PIIIIZZAAAAAAH!PIIIIZZAAAAAAH!PIIIIZZAAAAAAH!PIIIIZZAAAAAAH! Stedman loves PIZZA. I love Pizza and today's guest is here to tell us about her love for PIZZAAAA! -Hello, my name is Melissa M and I'm a closet pizza freak. I could eat it every single day. I'd eat in the morning, cold. I'd eat it at lunch, room temperature, I'd eat it piping hot and burn the roof of my mouth with the little triangle you try to bite off. I was invited on Ms. Winfrey's show to tell you and the world that I have found the best pizza in Belmont. If you are looking for a nice soft inner crust, with a crispy outer crust, then you better check out Michael's. Do you like a sweet, generous amount of sauce? Then get thee to Michael's! Do you like ooey gooey cheese on your pizza that has just the right amount of grease? Then Michael's awaits. It's been around Belmont for years. The husband and wife team were working at the counter and the pizza was in the oven for just minute and it was nice and hot. $2.38 for a slice and a can of diet pepsi? I'm happy. Sprinkle some hot pepper flakes on top and you'll be a happy human. PIZZAAAAA! read more

Michael's is a fantastic corner pizza shop. The pizzas themselves are piping hot and fresh, with plenty of toppings, soft crust with a harder outside, and some great options. Their buffalo chicken pizza is RIDICULOUS. The calzones, though... whoa. Their huge calzones are the stuff of glory and legend. Get the chicken parm or again the buffalo chicken. It's what God would eat if He came to Belmont. Good salads, too - great and friendly staff, never over a 15 minute wait, and a few convenient places for street-side parking. Bummer they don't deliver, but hey, I can walk there! read more

I love this place! The house special is incredible ( especially personal size) and this is everything your neighborhood takeout pizza joint should be. We've been coming here for years and the pizza never disappoints. Pepperoni is great too, and love the Italian subs. The wings are just the right amount of crunch. Is it healthy, gourmet, or new age? No. But it's delicious and the guy behind the counter is like family lol. My kids love him! read more

In a rush at work trying to fit in my lunch time I bombed down the street to where I remembered there being a sub shop. There on the corner was my stomach's savior. Oddly enough when I walked in, it looked like nobody worked there! Instead of focusing intently on the mis-matched menu board, I gawked around looking for somebody to tell my order to, as if I already knew what I wanted. Three kids then appeared behind the counter. Asked me hurriedly what I wanted. I got all kinds of flustered and spat out "Tuna? Um, Salad." One looked up at me, almost a sad look on his face, but instead of saying "oh, you must be a little soft..." he said "Like a garden salad, with tuna on top?" to my surprise he felt the need to mime it too. Please don't ask what 'garden salad' looks like... I grabbed a Gatorade and water out of the multitude of coolers they had and paid just under 11 dollars for lunch. I guess it's not really THAT expensive... The guy asked me for 21.00 instead of just the twenty I had handed him. I'm not sure what the difference is, I always tip, so at least a buck fifty was going to them anyways... My whole experience was very odd. When my salad was made it was placed on the counter and all three disappeared around an oven. No time to ask if everything was in there, nothing. I'm more curious about what I was keeping them from than anything else. I was happy with my Tuna Salad Salad in the end. The dressing was good, which makes a world of difference in my book. The bread was soft, the fork was present and accounted for (I had a bad experience once.. never again will I eat a tuna salad without a fork..) all in all filling and amusing. read more

I've been going off and on since around the time they opened, '97 or so. It's run by the same family as Gregory's, the more well-known Belmont pizza/subs place. It is close to identical food, Greek style pizza. The subs are excellent value, and you get the choice of toasted or cold. The fact that I won't go anywhere else for an Italian when I'm in the area, (I like the pepper and egg sub too), says something either to nostalgia, habit, or value. Also to be mentioned is that for sausage topping (or in subs) they use sliced Italian sausage-none of that english breakfast crap. In summary, don't come from out of town, but if you're in the area, about as good as it gets for a neighborhood pizza/subs joint. read more

This isn't the type of place I frequent or would go out of my way to visit but my SO insisted on a steak bomb so we ordered one from here because it's literally up the street from us. I was hesitant to try it but in my hunger I did and boy was it good. Next time we ordered we added fries to the order and those were even better. Then I got laid off and needed comfort food that day so I picked up a pizza there and a jar of Nutella at Shaw's. Turns out their pizza is amazing too - although a bit on the greasy side. Last time we had some friends over and they wanted to order out so we recommended Michaels. We got onion rings, salads, steak bombs, cheese sticks, and fries. Everything was to die for. Especially those onion rings. So we've been there maybe 4 times in an 8 month span but each time it's been consistent and quite good. read more

Don't misunderstand my review, the pizza was good, limited choices in the area, I ordered a slice. (As is requisite in a pizza shop) and was happy with it in every way.. I should have stuck with pizza, the grilled marinated chicken came with fries or rice, I neglected to choose, and I received fries.. (My mistake... But because there was a choice it wouldn't have hurt to be asked.. Again, I'm no amateur so I take the blame) so much for a healthier option.. Lol. The grilled chicken was fairly dry and more seasoned than marinated.. They use the standard tenders but small ones dry out quickly on the "griddle".. I finished my meal and ordered a slice to go on account I couldn't eat the fries... It's the local pizza joint and I'd be happy to pick up a pizza anytime! read more

It would really be a 3.5 if 1/2 a star were allowed. Think thick, crispy crust and thick, crispy cheese with a savory sauce. I could not ask for a better post hangover lunch than their cheese pizza. read more

Large cheese pizza was pretty good, I did enjoy it, but I've had better. The pizza was a bit sloppy when I opened the box. read more

Michael's Pizza - Large cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Belmont, Massachusetts

I must have driven by this place a million times, but I just got around to trying it yesterday. Michael's is a small pizza/sub joint on the corner of Belmont and Grove St with a family business feel. Nice cozy space but not claustrophobic, this place only seats maybe 18 people max with two booths and a few tables. WARNING: there is no bathroom here! The guys were nice enough to let us go behind the counter (one by one) to use their water closet (quite literally a closet), but you have to avoid the hot oil coming out of the fryer and workers. As for the pizza, it was hot and fresh, with the crust on the thicker, crispier side (think Pizza Hut without the glistening grease). Great gooey cheese and good selection of toppings, but it's on the bland side and the sauce could stand to be significantly more tangy. Stick to the saltier toppings, like bacon and pepperoni here. Pretty good, crispy wings, though they are on the smaller side and tend to be over-fried a little bit. I liked the new spicy fries; not a single one was left after our group was done with it. The food came out quick and piping hot, and the price was right. So if you need some pizza, try Michael's. If you want wings, go down the street to Olympic Pizza. read more

This very clean and friendly sub and pizza shop sits on the line between Watertown and Belmont and is very near to the Cambridge line. Like many such shops in that area, the owners are Greek and Greek posters decorate the walls. Their pizza is not like Regina's at all, but is made in these pans rather than on a sheet. I really like the result and will stop by for a slice for lunch if i am in the area. I could understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea. Michael's also gets points as they make good subs, always ask if you want your cheese toasted on your roll and are generous with their portions. If you live in the area or on the bus line, give it a try. read more
