I don't recommend the pizza if you order it from a delivery app or anything. It's just not very good when it gets cold. That said, the pizza is very good when you eat there. I always order the salad and cheese breadsticks for lunch, which is really fresh and delicious. Pizza is also fine if you pick it up yourself and take it home. I think it's also really cute inside. read more

Why the cheese pizza just cheese and dough with blobs of red sauce? Why the salad coming like I got it from the Trader Joe's ready to go salad section? Dressing in a to go cup, and salad in a bowl that has no room to mix it! Also why is the place where they put the food ready to get served in this cave like thing where the servers have to duck to look into. Food was sitting for a while since no one saw that it was ready. read more

Went here on a Saturday with a party of 7 and the service was great and attentive as half of our party wasn't with us when we first inquired for seating. They still seated us right away even with our full party not all present. We ordered the pesto & pepperoni, bacon scallion mashed potato, and cheese pizzas for our party of 7. The 2 specialty pizzas were definitely worth it and I would definitely come back for both. A very good spot in Coolidge corner if you're looking for a quick bite. read more

Durn burn good. Wide variety of pizzas and all are tasty. Not the pinnacle of pizza perfection but solidly delicious. Not the easiest place to grab parking and then get the pizza - we had to opt for one person drive around the block and the other grab the pizzas. Crust has a good texture and worth munching on its own. Not as airy and light as the best but still - very good. Ingredients high quality and the inner pizza avoided the dread soggy flop that's all too common. So - no doubt worth a visit. read more

Service was amazing! I was visiting family up in New Hampshire and they took us to Otto pizza. We got three different pizzas and we all amazing. My only critique would be the mashed potatoes on the pizza were crumbled on instead of spread on the pizza. Would return again! Also the Caesar salad was delicious!! read more

I sat at the bar on June 3rd at 1:15 for 15 minutes in a empty restaurant.The bartender got me a glass of wine said he would be right back, then looked at me and proceeded to help 3 other tables, all males, whom just walked in. No tip, no food, bad reviews. What the internet can do read more

Pretty great pizza and there are options to make it vegan (vegan cheese or no cheese), as well as gluten-free crust. The servers and staff are really good about guiding through options if you or someone in your party has dietary restrictions. The menu is very customizable and they have a large assortment of beers to try for those who like a bev-y with dinner. Good portion sizes for the pizza and definitely worthwhile to split with friends. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and good quality. The pizza hits the spot and is what will keep you coming back! It's fun to sit inside since it's right in the heart of Coolidge Corner across from the movie theater. Convenient and walkable location. The service can be a bit slow in my experience when they're busy (completely understandable), but I have had them forget a few of our dishes or drinks before we remind them. Always kind service though! read more

We stopped here for an impromptu dinner on a weeknight and it was very easy to get seated as there weren't too many people. I've been wanting to try their pizzas for some time, and I was certainly surprised at how delicious they are! They have a LOT of pizza options, and it was difficult, but we settled on half pineapple/bacon/hot honey and half squash/cranberry/ricotta. The food came fairly quickly, and our server was super sweet. My favorite was definitely the butternut squash and ricotta half, as it was slightly sweet but not so much it put me off eating more slices. The pineapple half was also great, I loved the small crunchy bacon bits but wish there was a little more hot honey. Overall, dinner here was so convenient, fast, and delicious! I would recommend if you're in Coolidge corner to check them out! read more

otto is solid for when i want overpriced chain pizza. i joke, but the flavors are solid, and there's a reason why this local chain gets my business: it's good. i haven't been disappointed with anything i've gotten to try over the years, and this was my first time actually dining in at an otto joint instead of getting takeout (or their scraps on toogoodtogo - so rest assured, this maine based joint is doing alright on food waste). interestingly the joint is kind of dimly lit, and there's also a bar with a great selection of local ciders and beers for the casual beer and pizza enjoyer. instead of opting for the potato pie (SO yummy), we decided to get the pepperoni and basil pesto pie - and WOW, they didn't skimp on the pesto! this was incredible and i did regret eating 4 slices once they hit my stomach but it was PHENOMENAL!!! service was quick - just one waitress but she was nice and no fuss. great time! read more

We called ahead to order two slices because the last time we went to order slices we waited over 15 minutes for them to heat the already made slices up and the team member, Michael, who answered the phone let us know that that was not a possibility but that there was no wait time and no one in the store so the wait would not be long. My boyfriend went inside to pick up the premade pizza slices and waited over 15 minutes after ordering only for the counter staff to realize they had burnt all four slices to a crisp (fully blackened). Instead of apologizing for the wait, they giggled. The pizza slices that we did end up with were not at all heated after all of that! Like I said, this isn't the first time I waited over 15 minutes for premade slices to be heated up if there's any way to speed this up, be a hotter, oven or more attentiveness from the staff it would be very a much better experience. read more

I had heard about Otto and made a reservation on a Saturday night. Good thing I did because this place was hopping. We walked from home, however there was plenty of parking to be had. The inside was a traditional young professional pizzeria and you felt like a regular as soon as you walked in. The menu was short and simple but still loaded with several great options that tested your decision making skills. We opted for a six meatball and sauce appetizer, followed by a gluten free cheese, pepperoni and wild mushroom, and a tortellini pizza. We couldn't eat it all and it made a great Sunday breakfast. Service was great, constantly cycling by the table with refills and checking on us. This was a relaxing night out for some simple, great tasting food and conversation. You can't go wrong with Otto! read more

OTTO - Sorry, I tore it up before I took the pic... yum - Pizza Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Otto is pretty much a New England staple at this point and it's miles ahead of a lot of other casual pizza chains. They have really creative topping combinations, so it's become my go-to when I'm in the mood for something more interesting than your traditional Italian options. Most recently we stopped in for a couple of slices and beers while waiting for an appointment in the area. The outdoor tables at this location are dog friendly which is always a plus for me, but I will say that the tables are right in the middle of a busy sidewalk so if your pup is on the reactive side, this might not be the place for you. We picked two options from the by-the-slice menu: the Mashed Potato, Bacon and Scallion (good, but a little on the bland side) and the Pepperoni, Hot Honey and Goat Cheese (soooo tasty, this one's a must try). Service was pretty quick and it was nice and quiet around lunch time. Had to give this place 4 stars compared to some of the other A+ pizza in Boston (looking at you Regina's, Ernesto's, etc.) but it is really good overall so it's worth experimenting with some of their more creative pizzas. It's a great go-to for a quick causal bite or takeout if you're in the neighborhood. read more

OTTO - Dogs welcome on the patio! - Pizza Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Otto is a great takeout spot for pizza and I recently went to sit down at the Coolidge Corner location. It was lunchtime so not too busy. One thing that I noticed was that we were sat at the only table in the restaurant that was dirty, and when we were sat she noticed it and still sat us there anyways. Not a huge deal but probably could've been handled better and is also kind of gross. Otto has become one of my new favorite pizza places since it has unique pizzas and they're all amazing. I got the potato bacon scallion pizza and the cup pepperoni goat cheese and hot honey pizza. Both were amazing but I think the pepperoni was my favorite. I loved the potato pizza but I find with all potato pizzas that they're lacking flavor. The scallion flavor doesn't really come through at all. I think this one would benefit from having the hot honey as well (but I think all pizzas would!). The pepperoni with goat cheese and hot honey was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I love the goat cheese and hot honey and the crusts are thin so it's just amazing. I forget what our servers name was but he was very friendly and recommended the pepperoni one to us. They have a good but short list of draft beers and ciders and I think it would be a nice place to eat around dinner time. I will definitely be ordering from Otto again! read more

Small pizza chain with locations in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire! Not exactly sure how to describe it (urban? hip?) but it's definitely not a classic Italian-style pizzeria. Usually a young and laid back atmosphere, and good for a casual lunch, dinner, or late night bite. You can order pizza by the slice, but I usually go with a group and order a bunch of small pies for the table so we can try a lot of different stuff (for reference, one small pie is a solid meal, probably more than that depending on the person). The novelty of this place is the topping for their pizzas -- a lot of fun combos that are unique and work really well (their signature is their mashed potato, bacoin, and scallion). Been to a few locations in Boston, but my favorite is their Coolidge Corner location with full table service, plus beer on tap and wine by the glass -- the seating and service style (takeout only, counter service) vary between locations. My favorite pies to order (so far) are the spicy pulled pork, jalapeno, and pineapple; meatball, ricotta, and basil; and the hot honey, cup and char pepperoni, and goat cheese. read more

Food: I LOVE OTTO. I've been to Harvard Square and this location and seriously some of the best pizza I've had. I love their thin crust, good portion sizes, and if you have leftovers, you can heat them up. Also their garlic sticks... YUM. Even their seasonal salad was good. Although it is pricey pizza though but good treat once in a while. Store: The Coolidge Corner location is fun, LOVE the Trader Joe's there :) read more

If you're looking for a casual pizza spot in Brookline, I would certainly recommend giving OTTO a try! Otto offers salads, starters, and pizzas. They also offer a small dessert menu. They do offer a "kids size" pizza and they also offer a "gluten-free" crust pizza! For those who are vegan, they DO offer vegan cheese. For full disclosure, they do have multiple locations in New England. I have noticed consistency issues between different stores. However, today was a solid experience! We decided to swing by after doing a little July 4th shopping. We have ordered their pizza many times before. Our main complaint was the sauce was never consistent, usually a bit acidic. That doesn't seem to be an issue at this location, more on that later! We decided to kick off the meal with some white wine & their "House Salad". The salad was fresh and delicious! The wine pour was generous and reasonably priced. The salad has a fresh lettuce mix, juicy tomatoes, crispy cucumber, red pepper, and onion. It is served with a Red Wine Vinaigrette. The portion size is generous, great for two to share- if you plan to order additional food. No wilted greens or any issue. Incredibly fresh. Next, we noticed multiple tables ordering the meatballs. We have not tried those before. To say they were disappointing would be an understatement. The meatballs are pork & beef based and they are served in pomodoro sauce. We found the meatballs both dry and almost tough in a sense. The meat was almost chewy. They also lacked seasoning and flavor. I would likely skip these next time. The main headliner here is clearly the pizza! Our favorite is the 12" Pepperoni and Fresh Mushroom Pizza. No canned mushrooms. Hand-sliced. The crust is baked perfectly and is thin, crispy, with the right amount of chew. I am from Chicago and I'm particular about my pizza. We did request easy sauce this time around. The consistency was also much better. I do wish other locations were as consistent. The sauce was perfect and not too acidic or overpowering. The cheese was perfectly melted and the pepperoni was perfect, not too greasy like many pizza joints! We usually get the 12" if we plan to get other items. You get six slices. If you plan to just have pizza, I'd suggest the 16". You get twelve slices. I also highly suggest ordering a side of ranch for dipping. The crust is amazing but the ranch just takes it to another level! It's homemade, not out of a jar or bottle. You have to try it, it's hard to put into words! The service was phenomenal and incredibly quick. Be ready to eat as soon as you order, the kitchen and servers are incredibly efficient! THIS LOCATION in particular is phenomenal and we will certainly be back! The place is usually very busy given the location. However, they move the tables fairly quickly. It's also a solid takeout or delivery choice. The ambience is casual- however it can get a bit loud when they're at capacity. One of my go-to pizza spots in Boston! read more

OTTO - Pepperoni / Sausage & Vidalia Onion - Pizza Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

What happened with Otto???? I mean, from the Fall of 2018 to probably the Summer of 2023, we always ordered from Otto until moving to the Cambridge area, but it honestly seems like it's no longer the same since coming back to Brookline. We tried it tonight and got a large pizza with two different halves including the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Charred Pepperoni Cup with Goat Cheese for close to $25, and it really wasn't what we remembered... The buffalo sauce was bland and the blue cheese was not even noticeable, and the dough for both pizzas was kind of soft and floppy... In fact, we had to place it in the oven for an additional five minutes to firm up the dough so that we could pick up our slices. At this point, we would just call it "OK" and not get it again unless we are maybe desperate for a fast dinner nearby. read more

My friends and I started our Otto journey by trying to open both doors to the restaurant at 1 PM on a cold holiday Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Hilariously, both doors were locked. Employees saw us trying to enter (through the glass) and hurriedly came to unlock the doors. I felt seen by the eclectic and inventive menu. There were plenty of veggie options, and you can't accidentally order a white pizza because they mark which ones come with tomato sauce. We went with manchego, mushrooms, and herbs, which you'll see in the attached picture. We were a bit surprised that it also came with mozzarella. We liked it. We got good tomato sauce distribution and a thin, crispy crust, the kind that is only possible when you have a truly hot pizza oven. For my taste, I would've liked a bit more texture in the toppings, and a bit more doughy flavor, but that's not why I'm only giving 4 stars. I think my rating should signal that you'd like this place, but it wouldn't blow your mind. Note that they sell pizza by the slice for takeout, too. read more

I haven't tried Otto for a few years and since I was craving for pizza, I decided to try this place again. I ordered the two cheese garlic breadsticks, a pepperoni and mushroom pizza and the tiramisu for dessert. Omg, the order of garlic breadsticks was huge! It was like a pizza itself. The asiago and mozzarella breadsticks came with a side of pomodoro sauce. It was yummy. The pepperoni and mushroom pizza was also really good. It was thin and not as doughy as the breadsticks. The tiramisu came inside a circular cup. It was good but I prefer tiramisu having a more cakey consistency than like a pudding. read more

Cool down to earth hang out pizza spot with large slices and a eclectic beer menu. I came here on a Friday night at 9ish and it was mostly empty. Capacity is probably around 60 to 70, but only 10 people were seated. I believe earlier in the evening it was fairly busy. I'm not huge on the prim and proper "real" pizza. Something you might find on the north end. I like the sloppy cheesy ones you'll find at the hole in the wall spots where they have two tables and you have to clean up after the person before you. Otto has those slices but in a much nicer venue. I love that I can sit at the bar, order a couple of slices and beers and hang out for a bit. Friendly service, large cheesy slices and excellent craft beer. Would come back again and again! read more

Honestly the pizza was really good, but the service was not so good. Boyfriend ordered a pizza and we planned to pick up and leave. When we got there one employee said we could take a seat if we wanted. We sat down and then a random employee rushed up to us and told us to leave. He told us they were too busy and that we didn't have a reservation and to come back "literally another day". I found this a little rude but we apologized and left. read more

Honestly my favorite pizza to eat. It always tastes amazing. I was unhappy with the service however, and I know this is a few weeks too late but here goes. I haven't had Otto pizza in 6 years and I was looking forward to my first visit back. I ordered for pickup through UberEats while I was grocery shopping. I parked and went inside, and when I gave the hostess my name, the girl couldn't find my order. She then looked at one of her tablets and saw the order (which she probably never checked) and the order never went to the kitchen. She apologized and said it would be "just another 10 minutes", never telling me what went wrong. I checked my app and it finally updated to show that the kitchen was getting my order ready. About 30 min go by and I'm still sitting, while my groceries are baking in my car. My mom and daughter were waiting for me at home too, which was another hour drive. Obviously this isn't the kitchen's fault, I know good pizza doesn't take a few minutes to cook, but the hostess should not say it would be 10 min. I see my pizza boxes with my name on it and it gets placed on the shelf behind the counter. I waited to see if any of the workers would check or not. 2 of the hostesses were just chatting and on their phones. Another 10 minutes passed and they still weren't paying any attention to them. I was frustrated and annoyed with their lack of attentiveness and professionalism. I've worked in the food industry before and my managers would not allow that kind of work ethic. I haven't gone back since but I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

I always pass by this place before work and it has such a fun ambiance to it that I finally went with a friend. They advertise Maine style pizza, and being someone that's moved to the east coast recently, I knew I had to know what that meant. They had such unique and fun pizza flavors and I got the mashed potato, scallion, and bacon bits pizza which honestly was so good I'm surprised I don't see it as a flavor for all pizza places. I love that they make such fun and seasonal ideas and I afraid to be creative about it! Would recommend if you're looking for a quick bite or cheap eat! I know it sure too a pizza my heart! read more

I've done a lot of door dash pick ups here and always wanted to try it since it always smelled so good and they always seemed busy. I was very disappointed to say the least. Pizza is mediocre at best in my opinion. The pizza dough was missing something for me, not enough flavor or something. The service was great though, our server was super friendly and checked in on us often, I was with my toddler daughter. But as far as the food, definitely a miss and my last time. On top of that, I've had the absolute worst stomach ache that started about 20 minutes after we left and still have it 3 hours later. read more

OTTO always hits the spot, whether you're looking for a slice or a whole pie. OTTO has really inventive pies along with the classics, all made beautifully.

Make a reservation if you're going in the evenings or on the weekends. read more
