I have been wanting to try Otto since it opened, but have only ordered delivery once from the Brighton location. We finally went for my husband's birthday with his parents. It is definitely loud, unfortunately, but otherwise, we had a great time. The 4 of us split 2 of the Crunchy Green Salad (Green Apple, Cabbage, Green Goddess Dressing) and 3 large pizzas. After much deliberation, we went with a cheese; a pepperoni; and the Baby Spinach, Chicken and Asiago. We wanted a half-and-half, but they don't do that. The cheese and pepperoni were good - pretty standard, but the Chicken one was a bit dry for my taste. Not bad, just not as moist as I expected. These 3 didn't hold a candle compared to the 2 I'd previously had (Sausage and Vidalia Onion; Butternut Squash, Ricotta and Cranberry). I wish we'd gotten these! My FIL tried to order a beer, but they didn't have any he liked. Overall, it was good pizza in a good, fun atmosphere. Not my favorite, but very enjoyable and I would probably do pick-up or delivery again, as they do have a bunch of other toppings I'd like to try. And it's fun that you can watch them making the pizza! read more

Wow! This pizza place is well worth a stop in on your visit to Coolidge Corner. I was impressed with their unusual pizza choices like pulled pork & mango or mashed potato, bacon & scallion. My husband & I sat at the bar and spit at pulled pork & mango pizza. It was delicious! The pizza is sold by the slice too & the slices are big. I'll definitely stop by again to try some of the other pizza options. read more

We were visiting from Michigan and my husband wanted some pizza. I can honestly say that Yelp didn't fail me yet again! I ordered a Caesar salad to start, but it wasn't that good. Maybe it's my pregnant taste buds, but the dressing was a bit too "eggy." There was also A LOT of dressing on the salad; next time I'd get the dressing on the side. However, my husband ate it and said it was fine. We ordered a delicious pizza with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, fresh basil and sausage (on my husband's half). IT WAS DELICIOUS! The crust was perfectly cooked with a little char and the crust wasn't too thin. It was perfect and we hope to come back. read more

The food is very good. The service is excellent. I've been there 10 times and the 10 times were 10 over 10.

Cannot express how much I love it here. Such a great vibe. FANTASTIC pizza with great flavors as well as a great rotating draft of local beers. Can't express how much I love it here! Service can be a bit hit or miss sometimes but everything else makes up for that and then some! read more

+ fun, laidback vibe + unique toppings and flavors + friendly, attentive staff - table seating is only for whole-pie orders (but there's bar space to sit) Came here around 5pm one afternoon for some easy dinnering that's not stuffy, but still unique and delicious! Unlike the Harvard location, you can sit down and enjoy your meal here instead of having a grab n' go. Got a slice of the Mashed potato, bacon and scallion, original pepperoni, and a slice of sausage onion. The mashed potato bacon was by FAR the best, also I was surprisingly full after just one slice...must be the overwhelming amount of carbs. Lots of bacon and scallions sprinkled on top with bits of mashed potato intertwined perfectly. Kind of a bummer that you can't sit in the regular seating area unless you want to order a whole pizze-pie ($12+ depending or $3.50/slice usually) but the bar ain't so bad. During meal times they are definitely busy, so show up early or show up late to avoid crowds! read more

Who was the genius who came up with the mashed potato, bacon and scallion pizza (~$13 for a smaller one)? The crust, while thin, held up surprisingly well to the (in places) hefty mashed potatoes. I saw a lot of other yummy looking pizzas, including the broccoli rabe and sausage that I definitely want to try in the future. I hate soggy pizzas, so it's great that their crust is pretty structurally sound. The romaine and fennel salad was very whatever though, and seemed a little old/sad (slightly browned lettuce and apples) and not worth the $7 we paid for it. read more

We went on a busy Sunday evening with a group of 12. It took about 15 minutes to wear is, which was to be expected. I thought that the atmosphere of the place was really cool- like Portland Me, where OTTO originated. It was hard being in a big group because all of the tables and chairs were crammed together. Other than that, we had a very good experience. Our waiter was awesome. He had personality and was very attentive. We had some interesting food allergies to work around and he was really accommodating. Now to the pizza: it's a thin crust with a sweet red sauce (or white sauce) and with very interesting topping combinations. One had sausage and red bean. I had butternut squash, dollops of ricotta, and crasins (dried cranberries) on a white pizza. I was only able to eat half, so I'm happy to say I had leftovers of my delicious thanksgiving on a crust for dinner again tonight. The prices were a little steep, starting at ~$13 for a personal pizza. But it was definitely worth it for the pizza I got! read more

One of the few places opened up late in Coolidge Corner. A cool, casual spot which also serves wine and beer. It's a good sized slice of pizza which cost a lot more than the average place. But they are filling and I would go there again to get my carb on. The mashed potato pizza was surprisingly good. I wish they had more options of slices during the night. If you go there before closing, there's a chance you won't get the slice you want and might not have any slices left. I'm big on desserts and this is another place that doesn't list any desserts on their menu. Even while there, they were 1-2 forgettable choices for desserts. read more

My sister and I stayed in Brookline while visiting Boston. We arrived around lunchtime and stumbled upon Otto. We shared a butternut squash pizza plus my sister had a beer and I had a cider. The pizza was amazing and I am from NY, I wish we had gone back to try another pie before our trip was over. We came right when the restaurant opened and we did have to chase down our waitress for the check because the place was so busy when we were done with our meal. read more

Ordered ricotta and basil pizza, a re-order from a previous great pizza. Added sausage (extra cost) and extra red sauce this time, unfortunately they were not added, but still a great pizza and friendly service. Will be back! read more

I will alway recommend Ottos however I will not recommend this one! I walked in to get my order, the cashier who had been helping customers stood off to the side and ignored me. After about 10 minutes of waiting the host came and assisted me with getting my online order.

"Madam, let us sample your finest beverages, and the fennel salad." Our diminutive waitress disappeared without a word, returning moments later with a fresh fennel and apple salad. "Superb, madam, superb!" Our salad was lightly dressed and crisp. Small candles flickered in their plastic dishes on the table. A simple water carafe was the only beverage we needed. The pizza was suitably tasty. read more

It was great experience. I did take out on Sunday night. I was so busy. I arrived and pizza was not ready. we decided to wait outside. Once pizza was ready, cashier came to deliver in front of the restaurant. The pizza was perfectly made. I order large half/half. On the app, they did not have function for this. I noted on special instruction. They made it exactly what I want. Thank you so much!!! read more

We chose to go to Otto for our sessy Valentine's date (which we did on the 15th, not the 14th). We chose to sit at the bar because there seemed to be a bit of a wait for a table. The bar was comfortable, not too crowded, and quiet. I chose to have a glass of Reisling and the boy had a beer. We both enjoyed our drink choices! We each ordered a small pizza, which ended up being perfect. I had two slices leftover for lunch the next day (just as good reheated)! I had the tortellini pizza, which...UNF so good. It's the only pizza I've had there and...it's good enough that I don't want to try anything else. Boy had pepperoni, he said it was a little greasy but very good. Good service, great atmosphere, very delicious food. Always a favorite! read more

O M G. Eggplant & ricotta cheese pizza. Bacon mashed potato pizza. The meatballs are good too. Ask for more of the tomato sauce for dipping the crust. All their pizzas are pretty delicious. You have to order a whole pie if you sit down... so bring lots of your friends and order a bunch of different pizzas (That way you can try them all). Otherwise, you're better off sitting by the bar area and grabbing a few different slices with a beer. Place gets pretty crowded so get here early. The staff is always really nice. Smaller pizzas are around $13? And larger ones are around $21. read more

Even the line for be-seated is always longer than you can imagine, my friends and I insist to await every time. Because it is worth to wait ! It's perfect for 4~6 friends gathering, sharing two big flavored pizza. We all into mash potatoes with bacon pizza. They fit each other so well. Since I am a cheese lover, I am so in love with Four Cheese pizza. If you come alone, you can only seat by the bar and have less options for order. But, nothing is important than having a great pizza! Just enjoy it ! read more

Great pizza!! The spicy pulled pork was delicious as was the potato and bacon. It's a little on the greasy side, but the ingredients are really fresh and tasty. This place is also a good sit-down restaurant which is a little unique for a pizzeria. But they also have tons of varieties of sliced pies if you want a quick slice. And they serve beer! The service is always great- servers are very nice and helpful. Overall a good dining experience! read more

Walked by and saw how lively it was so figured it was really good. Got pepperoni on the whole thing & wanted onions and mushrooms on one half. Got onions the whole way through. Couldn't even finish my slice. There was tomato sauce randomly splotched around, and cheese was really thin. Wouldn't care to come back read more

Went to Otto pizza for first time and it was fantastic. They do have some nice seating at this location and a little bar. We ordered for pickup. Tried large avocado and Sriracha chicken pizza as one of their spicy pizzas. The avocado comes out in this big chunks that can be too big at time so you just spread it around hah. As far as spicyness I would call it mild at best. Added some hot peppers they had and still mild hah but that's ok. As far as the pizza it was pretty delicious, thin, well made rust. Super tasty pizza. It is a little bit pricey for pizza at $22. Would try again tho. read more

I went to Otto for the second time last night. The first time I went, I ordered slices from the counter. I was not that impressed because I felt the slices were a little dry. Last night I had a completely different experience. I split a potato, bacon, scallion pizza with a friend, and we both thought it was delicious. Other people in our group enjoyed their food as well. Beer and wine prices were on the cheaper end. Service was good, prices were very reasonable, and I will go back again. read more

This and the Commonwealth avenue Otto are great options for pizza! My girlfriend and I used to frequent these two pretty regularly as we often got free small pizzas using the since-retired Socii app (RIP). Thanks to the staff for always honoring our free pizza even when we could tell they had not been briefed on Otto's partnership with the app. We've tried the cheese, chicken & basil, ricotta & basil (when the BU location was out of chicken), and spicy pulled pork (minus the scallions). The chicken & basil is definitely our favorite, as it has good quality and quantity of chicken. The spicy pulled pork was interesting as it added a bit of a tang to the pie. I found the ricotta & basil to be too rich and cheesy to get repeatedly. The cheese pizza is pretty standard. The thinness of the pizza is really great--it ALMOST feels like a healthier pizza option, but I'm not sure how accurate that is, as it's still pretty greasy. That said, the atmosphere at both locations is very hip and it's a nice place to go for a date or with friends! read more

My Little Sister and I were buying stuff around Coolidge corner and decided to stop by here to grab a quick dinner. We ordered a small chicken sriracha and avocado pizza. It was delicious! The chicken didn't really taste like sriracha, tasted more like buffalo chicken. It was still yummy though! The service was extremely good, we came in to order and take out- wasn't that long of a wait AND one of the guys working behind the counter brought over waters for us while we were waiting. Extremely nice and super attentive to their customers.. This was a really hot day too (80 something degrees) so it was a very pleasant surprise ! read more

The restaurant was clean. Food left a lot to be desired and the staff didn't do anything to rectify my complaint. We ordered the spicy pulled pork and scallion pizza but it should be called a slightly burnt piece of crust with a hint of cheese. I had to eat three slices before I got a bite of pulled pork.....the waiters response? "Oh, I guess the person that made it shorted you" The being said I did like the crispiness of the pizza. I will likely not return and would not recommend it if you want real pizza. Instead, go across the street to Upper Crust. read more

Thin crust, thin toppings, lots of oil. Maybe this is "Maine style pizza", as they advertise. If so I feel bad for Mainers.

The draw of Otto's is the interesting and delicious toppings -- from bacon mashed potato to manchengo sundried tomato, this place always has intriguing and delicious options. BUT, if you're just looking for a simple pizza, Otto's is not my favorite -- their crust is fine and their sauce is not flavorful. So, if you don't dress the pizza up with crazy toppings, you'll be disappointed. Summary, bacon mashed potato: solid 5 stars. Plain cheese pizza: 2.5 at best read more

Best place for pizza around the longwood area - hands down. Although it's a local chain, it's a very reliable one in terms of food quality. Service was great for us! Loved our waitress. We made our own pizza with spicy pulled pork, red peppers, mushrooms & herbs. They recommend one small pizza per person, so for both of us we opted for a large. Good size for two of us. - ingredients: great but the spicy pulled pork overwhelmed the pizza, did enjoy the tomato based sauce - dough: delicious - thin crust but not overly crispy Beer - small beer list, but we both found something we liked Crowd - most days it's packed but if you get there early enough, you shouldn't have a problem read more

This was my first experience at Otto and I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't blown away either. For a pizza joint in a college town it wasn't surprising to see that it was packed on a Friday night so I really appreciated that they had a 'by the slice' to-go option. They had about 8 pizza types pre-made which were re-heated to order. The two slices I tried were pretty good: the ricotta pizza and the baked potato pizza. I have no complaints about the size or flavor (actually a pretty good amount of food for the price), my only issue was the fact that they weren't heated enough. I only live a block away and by the time I got home, both of my slices were cold. The service inside was ok. Both girls running the to-go counter were very sweet, but it felt like it was still their first week on the job. I totally sympathize with that, but at the same time it's nice to have at least one person working who is confident in their actions. Overall my experience at Otto was quick and pleasant. I have nothing bad to say really, but I wasn't so impressed that I'll be rushing back. read more

I know it's a chain, but OH MY GOSH, I love Otto pizza. Specifically, I love their butternut squash pizza. If I could grab one of those bad boys to bring home every weekend I'd be the happiest camper around. I digress though - There are plenty of other things to love about Otto. They've got a large menu with a variety of creative combos, all of which look amazing. The ones I have had, though nothing lives up to butternut squash, all taste amazing too. They have a cheese tortellini pizza, which looks like it might give me a heart attack but I can't wait to try. I also love that they have a dedicated vegetarian section, as well as options for vegan cheese. Those extra veg/vegan options are what keep me coming back to pizza places. Though I enjoy all Otto Pizza places for this product, I particularly like this Coolidge Corner location - the ambiance is nice, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and, like all Ottos, it smells like cheesy, bready deliciousness. The one flaw is that it tends to have a line in the evenings, so be prepared for a wait (Again, that butternut squash is worth it)! read more
