Customer service is second to none. I do hate that they consistently change their menu to take away my favorite pizza but their pizza is great. A lot of places or people wouldn't believe in such a thing but my wife has a tomato intolerance. She developed it about 7 years ago and it has made my pizza eating life hell. I love pizza. It was something I ate a lot of. And then the intolerance came where she couldn't digest tomato anymore. Pizza became a rarity to me. Then we found Ottos. I was always against the idea of a white pizza. It just didn't make sense to me. But their white pizzas are enjoyable not only for her but for me too. I ask that if Ottos reads this you bring back two. The arugula, pear and blue cheese. And the pineapple and red pepper flake pizza. They were quite divine. If you're adventurous in your food and willing to go against the grain of your typical cheese pizza or your pepperoni pizza give this place a shot. The mashed potato pizza is a great choice. Also the house side salad is great. I love the house dressing. I was mad when that went away but happy to have it back. read more

This place has some of the best Pizza in Boston! The pizza is awesome! You can create your own pie or choose buy by the slice with their already made pizzas! Their best selling slice is mashed potatoes, bacon, and scallops! Yum! I had the pulled pork with mango pizza and it was orgasmic! Additionally, you have the option to eat outside or inside, just a fabulous place to go! read more

OTTO - OTTO'S Pizzeria .. - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

OTTO makes the best pizza in Boston. I used to order at the Brookline location because it was close to my apartment. Now I'm in South End. I'm happy the pizza quality is still good, even I order at the different locations. My husband and I usually take our friends from other states to OTTO when they visit me or order delivery to eat together because OTTO is special. read more

Was stuck at my hotel in Boston during the blizzard of 2022. Lol. They delivered to my hotel and the pizza was very good. Definitely will try again when in the area. read more

I'm not sure if I understand the hype that surrounds OTTO because I wasn't too blown away it. I came here on a Tuesday evening and decided to have a slice of their cauliflower and mushroom pizza. My friend tried the mashed potato and bacon one. There were plenty of seats so we had no trouble snagging a table. My pizza was alright- it was a huge slice!- and for $3.50, it was worth it. I liked how the cauliflower and mushroom toppings tasted fresh alongside the nice crust that held up well even with the ingredients. I wish my slice had more flavors going on, though! The whole visit just wasn't too memorable for me. However, my friend said his mashed potato and bacon slice tasted really good! read more

I ordered a large cheese pizza for pickup. When I got home I discovered that it was covered in black pepper. It was totally inedible - total waste of $18! read more

I like the pizza but when cooks don't wear the masks over their nose forget it. I walked out.

OTTO's is Amazing! Butternut Squash/Ricotta & cranberries is my all time favorite! Also Love the Monthly specials! I've eaten at 3 different OTTO's in Maine and got delivery from 2 different locations in Boston! Enjoyed Amazing Pizza at All location! read more

I visited Otto on Commonwealth Ave., Boston, near Boston University and used their app to order a large, mashed potato, bacon, and scallion pizza (my favorite pizza of all time). It was hot and ready even though I arrived 5-10 minutes past the estimated pickup time. The woman behind the pick-up shelving was friendly and helpful, and I was in and out in a matter of seconds. In general, I enjoy OTTO pizza rather more than is healthy, so I have to limit myself to only having it once in a while. :-) read more

Omg. This pizza was so damn good. I ordered here for the first time. I got a pizza with mozzarella, Romano, broccoli rabe, roasted garlic & red pepper flakes. Perfectly thin crust. It's delicious. Go there. Do that. Oh, I got a Caesar salad, too. I got 2 croutons. Y'all could've gave me more croutons. read more

Got pizza delivered after a long day. It was on time and delicious. I would order from OTTO again.

One of the best pizza places I have had lately!!! Great tasting crust, sauce etc. I was very impressed

I tried this pizza place for the final time. I gave them a pass on the terrible pizza previously, but cannot do it again. This has a little to do with Stuff for cleanliness. The pizza is just terrible. I like thin crust pizza as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous. Look at the photos. Would you say this is of equal value of what I paid ($6)??? read more

OTTO - Cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We ate at Otto in Brookline a few years ago and remember the pizza being very thick and tasty and just ordered it from the South End last night and it was a thin crust and boring - not worth going out-of-the-way for. Maybe they changed recipe? Oh well ... read more

Really awesome pizza and customer service. Really appreciate the way they have catered a birthday party for us and super responsive to our allergy concerns and requests. read more

There's a reason i keep going back- every time, the pizza has been absolute perfection. the second time i ordered, it was online and my order must have not completely come through to the shop. they made it there, on the spot, and for the "inconvenience," gave it to me on the house. if it couldn't get any better, i placed an order at 11:45 pm tonight after my night shift at work, and they closed at midnight. they called me, told me it was too late, which i totally understood. BUT then they called me BACK and said it was no problem and delivered pizza to me 45 min after close. but here's the best part- they upped my order to a large because they were out of spinach AND gave me three free pieces of their tortellini pizza. I cannot say enough good things about otto. WELL DONE my friends, WELL DONE read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could (and I haven't even tasted the food...part of the problem). Simply put: I ordered a pizza online for delivery and after an hour an a half of waiting, I called to figure out the status of the pizza. They hadn't even made it. The gentleman did manage a measly 'sorry' after I asked him to cancel my order though :/ I'm sure this review will get shuttled to the 'not recommended' section read more

Thin, crispy crust with just enough chewy bite to it. Oh, and the toppings are pretty good, too. Order by the slice (what they have available) or by the pie. Beer available ... which always adds a star. No offering of pizza sauce for dipping ... reduces the stars. Outdoor seating and handicap accessible bathrooms. Definitely a great spot for a quick bite and for families. read more

Hit or miss. I've been here multiple times. The pizza is always "ok". Sometimes it's kind of heavy. Also, they don't have Parmesan cheese for on top of the pizza?? It's nice they sell by the slice, because I always want plain cheese. I feel like there's other better pizza places near this location! read more

Delicious pizza! Awesome toppings and the crust is perfectly crispy. I got the roasted peppers, garlic, tomato, etc pizza and it was really good. Also got the spicy pulled pork pizza. It has a good kick to it. This location is more laid back with the benches. The Coolidge Corner location has small tables which make it more of a date night meal. They sell pitchers of beer here for $13 to $21. read more

I've been wanting to try Otto since it opened in Coolidge Corner and Rachel C raved about it. My friends and I ordered delivery on Friday, but I guess only the BU (Comm Ave) location delivers. So I still haven't tried the Coolidge Corner location! I spoke to someone on the phone who gave me advice on which pizzas to get and how many salads. He was very friendly and very helpful! We ended up getting 2 large pizzas (Sausage and Vidalia Onion and a Butternut Squash, Ricotta and Cranberry) and 2 salads (House with Red Wine Vinaigrette and the Crunchy Green, with Green Apple, Cabbage and Green Goddess Dressing). I tried the House salad, which was decent, but didn't get to try the Crunchy Green. My friend told me it was "AWESOME!" The salads are small - they are definitely "personal" sized, although 2 of us split 1, because I didn't have a ton of salad. As for the pizzas - they are AMAZING. The Butternut Squash was definitely the group favorite. I had 2 pieces and could have eaten the entire thing. It wasn't too heavy, but was super flavorful. The Sausage & Vidalia Onion was messier and greasier, but was very good as well. I had 2 pieces the next day for lunch and it was good, but just not AS flavorful as the Butternut Squash. I would try it again, but would maybe get another meat one over this one. But I would DEF get the Butternut Squash again. Btw - these pieces are HUGE. I had 2 Friday night and then a 3rd later in the evening and was SO.FULL. For 2 large pizzas and 2 salads, it came out to $62 with tip (free delivery though!). That's pricey, but not when you break it down by person and consider 3 of us went home with leftovers. Also, $21 for a large, fantastic pizza? Not too shabby! read more

Easy, fast, delicious pizza place if you're looking for something different from a regular pizzeria. Slices are thin, crispy and relatively big. It's not greasy like a traditional pizza so well worth the $3 or $3.50. I keep coming back because they change the toppings so you can try something new! I love tomato sauce so I've never had the butternut squash, pesto or white sauce pizzas, but I heard they are really good. They have a mashed potato pizza which is really interesting and heavy, but worth every bite. The traditional cheese pizzas are good too and they have toppings like oregano, red pepper flakes and parmesan on the tables. I think the best part about this place is that you can also get beer, wine or pitchers with your pizza. They have a mini bar and outdoor seating so you can enjoy a nice refreshing beer with your pizza outside. Nice atmosphere, cool/friendly people and good food read more

I've been here several times--the service has always been shockingly friendly and the pizza is good. It is a little pricey for what you get, though, and I do wish they did just a regular pizza: the cheese pizza here is basically a white pizza with little gobs of sauce on the top. I did not enjoy this. Everything else I've had has been very tasty, though I will say somebody involved in this business thinks cauliflower is much better than it actually is. Seriously. It's on like 4 pizzas. So: great service, tasty food, but maybe not your go-to pizza spot. read more

I've come to this place a few times for lunch and have thoroughly enjoyed it. First off, there is no parking lot or reserved parking anywhere. Luckily, there are a slew of on-street spots on this section of Comm and I've never had a problem grabbing a metered space during the 11:30-2:30pm time frame. I can't vouch for evening availability, but lunch rush, you're good! The actual lunch options are great-- just as long as you're looking for slices of pizza. I believe they serve up a salad too, but I wouldn't know. What I do know is you can order slices of pizza from 6-8 different pies, all of which have been delicious (the tortellini and the bacon potato ones have been my faves)! At $3.50 a slice, this place won't break the bank. The slices are generous and well put together in terms of thickness and number of toppings. During the lunch rush, there hasn't been much of a rush at all. Ample seating means you don't have to wander around trying to find somewhere to eat. Bonus points: Although I haven't had any during my lunch visits, this place serves beer. Delicious delicious beer! Extra bonus: They take LevelUp! read more

OTTO - Pepperoni on the left, tortellini on the right. - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Can only review them based on delivery, not their actual establishment!! Have gotten two deliveries from this particular location. Both times it was pretty painless, once ordered by phone the other online. The first time ordered our pizzas arrived extremely fast! Got the tomato & basil and the apparently pretty popular bacon potato one. Was such a fan of the tomato & basil! Globs of riccota and fresh basil scattered throughout with a rich tomato sauce was great. I wanted to love the potato bacon one just as much but unfortunately I didn't. The flavor was great but it was just very dry, could be the lack of sauce but I wasn't a fan and if it had been creamier it would've been solid. Have also tried their sausage vidalia onion pizza, more onions on it than sausage for sure- but regardless quite tasty. Tip: order by calling and not online.. second time ordering we called after an hour to check on our order and the lady said their deliveries were backed up for 2 hours. Kind of crazy, but luckily after we called we received ours about 15 mins after the hour mark... So if you're in a rush or starving just call ahead to make sure they're not crazy busy. Wouldn't hesistate to order from them again, next time I will place my order through the phone and most likely get the Tomato & basil once again and perhaps explore a new flavor with the squash one. read more

OTTO - potato bacon pizza and tomato basil - Pizza Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Free slice of cheese pizza with beer or wine from 5-9!!! The cheese pizza was actually really good. Thin, crispy and light which went great with an Oktoberfest beer. I came another time before and had an artichoke and bacon pizza, which was very dry and not very flavorful. My boyfriend got a small pie and it was really soggy and not cooked fully so the cheese kept falling off the pizza. I would recommend the cheese or margherita pizza slices - they're really crispy and thin which I love. Otherwise, not really worth it. read more

My wife and I checked tonight and since the start of the pandemic in March, 2020, we've ordered Otto's on average at least once a month. It's a great option for takeout/delivery in Greater Boston for pizza night. Check out the monthly specials, which are often very good. The Fresh Pineapple, Bacon & Hot Honey is also a favorite. I used to think pineapple on pizza was weird, but I've bene converted. The online ordering system works well, and if you become a regular sign-up as a member to get regular discounts/rewards. read more

Not great, but not horrible! I had a really great staff member take my order. He was really nice to me and the gals that I was with. He took time to tell us all of the pizza options and he answered all questions... so thanks! Nice set up inside with the tables and I love the large window that opens up and creates a connection between the outside and indoor seating. A neat space. read more

Customer service was top notch. Delivery on time , polite, clean , and wore mask. We were at the hospital with our newborn so I was VERY happy to see him taking the mask and social distancing seriously. Now the pizza! It was delicious!!! Got the buffalo cauliflower and damn was it good!!!! This place is a thin style. It's crispy and has the breadcrumbs on the bottom which make it so much more tasty! Definitely a must try if you are in the area! read more

Very impressed with the quality of the delicious pear, arugula and blue cheese slice. I paired it with their special "Pizza" beer and it was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. The only thing I didn't really like about this place was that there was no parmesan cheese topping on the tables or counter area to put on your pizza. I love cheese and felt a little deprived. Overall though, really good quality and a chill atmosphere. We were there around 6 pm and it was pretty quiet. Nice place to grab a bite before heading to the Booth Theater at BU. read more

We ordered the Margherita pizza pie and the Butternut squash-crandberry-ricotta pizza! I only tried the butternut pizza and it was good! It tasted like a thin piece of bread with splotches of sweet (from the butternut) and savory (from the ricotta cheese). My only recommendation is that once you order the pizza eat it RIGHT AWAY when it its warm. I know it's kind of a obvious suggestion but I ordered the pies for takeout and then had to bring them to the other end of Boston (20 min). By the time i arrived at my destination the pizza was really HARD, FIRM, and like brick. It was hard to eat, but we were so hungry and there was no microwave or oven available. Regardless, the pizza was still tasty, so i can only imagine HOW delicious it would be HOT and WARM! I will come back again! read more

I came a while back and tried their specialty white bean, spinach, and tomato pizza. Hands down the most creative pizza I've ever had! The amount of toppings was perfect and the crust was crunchy and chewy. I can't wait to come back and try their other pizzas read more

My daughter is in the ICU at Boston Children's and we asked her nurse tonight where we could get a delicious pizza... she said OTTO and she was correct. I'm still shoving it into my face but had to slow down and write a review! We got a small butternut squash, goat cheese & cranberry and a small tortellini to munch on over the next couple of days and they are both DELICIOUS! The best crust I've had in a long, long time! (Maybe ever.) read more

Hello I'm amateur street eating legend King Eat, and today I'll be reviewing OTTO!!!! Otto is nice. Walk in, order a pizza and a drink (they serve beer), go have a seat and wait for your number to be called. They got some interesting pizza's you don't see too often (three cheese tortellini), or ever (pulled pork and mango) and of the ones I've had they're all surprisingly light pizza's. No heavy bloated feeling after eating. I've tried: Three Cheese Tortellini Sausage and Vidalia Onion Ricotta and Basil Mashed Potato with bacon and scallion Butternut squash with ricotta and cranberry All of em good. Slices are $3.50 with topping, or $3 for a slice of cheese. "See that bridge, Huh? 1200 bucks, on the house man! Otto man! Otto's my lotto!" - Chuck read more

I been trying pizza restaurants throughout Boston and Otto by far has the most unique options. I have tried the mashed potato/bacon/scallion pizza and the sriracha/chicken/avocado pizza. Both pizzas were different from the norm and I appreciated that. The mashed potato pizza is perfect for people who love eating mashed potato with gravy. I never knew mashed potato would go so well with pizza!! It is basically a baked potato but in a pizza form. I highly recommend getting it! read more

Great pizza and quick service. We ordered last night and it was delivered 30 minutes later which is very convenient. We order the Ricotta and Basil almost every time and last night, added sausage! We have also tried the Mashed potato pizza which is another great choice! read more
