GrubHub is probably the worst possible way to rate any dining experience, but if you pass that test, you know it's good food. I ordered this for our family to eat at the hotel after a long drive into Boston for a weekend trip, and enjoyed the fact it arrived hot and crispy. We got simple fare, cheese and a white, and I would love to try this fresh one day right out of the oven. read more

The food was absolutely incredible. When plans fell through and we were in need of a place for dinner but everything was too busy this place got us some of the best pizza I've had and it was served before I even got to my table. Servers were friendly and not just customer service friendly. They felt genuine and caring. I have always loved corner pizzerias, three or four tables only and seeing them tossing the dough in the back. This place struck a great balance of great quality, easy availability, and great customer care read more

Not only is the owner amazing and one of the best people you've ever met, but everything is scratch made and absolutely delicious. This can very legitimately go toe to toe Regina's, Ernesto's, etc.. It's probably even better. If you were in the north end looking for pizza you should do yourself a favor and come to Rustico. My personal favorite is the pepperoni. It's loaded with those little cups the sauce's house made and so vibrant and fresh. The dough is amazing. You literally can't go wrong. Avoid the tourist traps and get some of the best pizza in the city of Boston. read more

My favorite lunch spot around. I walk a long time in the rain sometimes to get these sandwiches. The chicken parm, meat ball, and bidabeep sandwiches are insane! One of the best chicken Parms in Boston hands down. My favorite meatball sub around, and the bidabeep with the fresh mooz and procuitto is light but great. They guy who works here is always super friendly too. People seem to like the pizza a lot the Sicilian looks so good, but it's like 5$ a slice... I was born in the 90s so I can't bring myself to try it yet. I want to try their calzones sometime but I think they don't do individuals anymore. read more

We wanted a casual dinner in the neighborhood and ended up at Pizzeria Rústico for slices of pizza. Amongst us, we had a few slices of regular pepperoni pizza and Sicilian-style margherita pizza. The pepperoni slice was okay but the margherita was pretty mediocre - the slices were on the hard/tough side which might have been related to how long our slices were heated. We took our slices to go but when I felt the box, it wasn't warm and after a five minute walk back, the slices were lukewarm at best. Slices were each about $5. read more

Most of the Vietnamese restaurants in the Boston/Greater Boston area are typically older. But now the question is, is the food actually worth the higher price tag? I would say yes! Service is on the slow side but food was surprisingly quite all right. These are the dishes we ordered today: - cha gio/fried egg rolls - Banh khot/ crispy shrimp cakes - limeade (x2) - pho tai bo vien / pho with eye round steak + meatballs - grilled beef rice plate - an order of nem nuong on the side Thoughts: Food took a minute to arrive to our table. I'd say it was roughly 20ish minutes. It seemed like their cha gio/fried eggrolls were freshly made to order? They were not greasy and stale like they normally are when ordered at a restaurant (premade). I really liked the egg rolls from here, though it had more wood sear mushroom + vermicelli noodles in it rather than meat for filling. It came with lots of veggies, which I appreciate! Banh khot/crispy shrimp cakes were fire! This dish isn't readily available at most other restaurants so we definitely had to get them to try. They used whole shrimp and I thought that the portion size was great. Normally they are much smaller & use smaller shrimp (at least the ones I've tried at other spots). Great flavor & tasted delish. ***We ended up asking for some fish sauce with peppers, we felt like the nuoc mam they gave us was missing something. Fish sauce w/ peppers was much better! Highly recommend asking for this. *** Limeade: For me, it tasted like lemonade. Sweeter than usual. Not the best. The pho tai bo vien was not bad. The broth is on the lighter side. I was expecting the eye round steak to be the thin, round cut of beef but they actually gave thicker cuts of beef. I enjoyed it & dipped with a mixture of hoisin + sriracha. The grilled beef rice plate was great. Our server suggested to get the beef over the pork rice plate, which we were skeptical at first. From our experience, we avoid ordering grilled beef because it is always made too dry so pork is often the better option. The grilled beef was not dry here & we gave it a thumbs up. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at An Nam. The restaurant is super clean, aesthetically pleasing interior, and fresh + delicious food. Can't ask for more honestly. Would like to see the service improve & it'd be nice if the food could be made a bit quicker but we were pleased with the quality overall... so can't complain haha.

As someone who grew up in Boston and moved to the West Coast, finding a pizza that matches the classic Boston style has been a challenge. On a recent visit to Boston, I decided to try Pizzeria Rustico, and it exceeded all my expectations. The pizza here is everything one would expect from a classic Boston pizza--perfectly crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings. The ambiance of the place adds to the experience, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure every customer leaves satisfied. I cannot recommend Pizzeria Rustico highly enough. If you're in Boston and craving authentic, delicious pizza, this is the place to go. read more

One of the main spots me and my girlfriend wanted to hit on our trip to Boston and let me tell you…read morethis was absolutely one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Pizza was served super quick, not a long wait at all. It's a cute little pizza place very tight knit neighborhood ambiance that gives it that North End charm. The pizzas were absolutely delicious and very much better than I had anticipated. I have had some of the best pizza in NY and Ernesto's definitely has a chance at being better than any pizza I've ever had. Crispy dough, flavorful sauce, and extra cheesy cheese. I'm not a person who usually eats the crust of any pizza but this one was so good that I left no trace of the pizza. I'm definitely making sure I make another visit before the end of my trip to see how much I can fit on the flight back home.

Really good pizza that you're able to mix and match. They crank out pizzas quick and it's hot!…read moreRecommend eating it there vs to-go but that's nothing new. Cheese was good, standard. Buffalo chicken needed a side of ranch, IMO Chicken Bacon Ranch was the best of the 3.

Just a block away from the Prudential center, this place serves delicious but pricey thin crust…read morepizza in the heart of Newbury Street. I came here for late lunch on a weekend and this place was busy, but with a line that moved fast. Service was café-style, where you order at the cash register, then pick up your food further down the counter. You can get your order packed for takeout, or choose to dine in at the seating area near the windows. I got my order to-go and got two slices: * The "Green Monster" slice had juicy sliced tomato with pesto sauce. It wasn't a brand-new unique flavor combination, but felt like classic pizza flavors done well. * The "Aloha" slice was a Hawaiian-style pizza, but with a generous amount of Prosciutto instead of ham. The ingredient swap was a delicious and innovative flavor combination, and it was my favorite of the two. At $5 for a reasonable but not larger-than-normal-sized slice, it wasn't the best value but also not the biggest rip-off for food right on Newbury street. I would come again if craving pizza while in the area!

The gluten free pizza was one of the best I've ever had. There's a cute little area to eat outside just outside the shop. I can't to visit Boston again and this will definitely be a return visit.

We had a late night in Boston and I was looking for something quick, easy, and inexpensive, with no…read morefrills. Of course, I searched for pizza by the slice near me, and this was the closest place within walking distance. When we walked in, the pizzas were behind the register, so you couldn't really see the available slices. I asked what they had, and they had a menu available, so I picked two slices. They popped them in the oven, and they were ready within just a few minutes. I also asked if they could add honey to my pizza, and they did it without any hesitation or extra charge, which I really appreciated. They also added fresh vodka sauce to the vodka pizza, which I thought was a nice touch. The pizza looked amazing and tasted really good! Was it the best pizza I've ever had? No, which is why I'm giving it four stars. But for what I needed that night--a quick, affordable, late-night bite--it absolutely did the job! Overall, I'd definitely stop in again if I'm in Boston and looking for a quick slice.

The slice had a nice tomato sauce and was light on cheese. I found the crust to be just the right thickness with a good flavor. I'm not the biggest fan of the style of sausage they use, but found it to be just fine. They do not have a public rest room which is common in touristy areas when the location is small.

I got a $4 slice of cheese pizza. It was pretty big…read more Crispy and hot since it was tossed in an oven/toaster to warm up. So keep in mind their food isn't "fresh out the oven," or at least from what I got. The inside is dimly lit and has seating. No complaints to be honest.

The friendly staff welcomed this newcomer with some good pizza recommendations. Both of the pizzas: Macaroni and Cheese (with bacon!), and Bang Bang Cauliflower Hot sauce were phenomenal. I'd like to especially highlight the CRUST. It was crispy, flavorful, but also had a satisfying chew. Like a warm hug on a cold Boston day, the crust brought my taste buds back to life.

This statement is going to blow you away, but hands down the best pizza I've ever had…read more A line out there door, simple lunch a slice and a drink. Been around I think since the 70's. Only open until 2pm. Once the pizza is gone , they are done for the day. Super nice fellas behind the counter.

This is a very old school setup. The menu is small and not constructed for special dietary needs,…read morebut if you want a cheese slice you'll be waiting in line behind some other eager customers. A large tourist group seemed to have beaten me to the punch, which explained why the line moved slow. Having said that, their method of serving is to constantly bring out large fresh pizzas and dispense slices for cash to the crowd, and they went through at least half a dozen giant pizzas while I waited. My slice delivered a huge kick of tart flavor from the sauce and some deliciously browned cheese. The wheel has not been reinvented, but that is a quality slice. Their beverage options included a sparkling water that elevated things. They didn't have a ton else for me other than maybe a spinach calzone or the option to put crushed pepper on pizza, but I'm glad I tried it.
