I've been meaning to come here for a while and had the chance to stop for lunch with a friend. The pizza is so tasty and slither perfect lunch. I got the single slice pepperoni and the slice of the day which was sweet onions and pesto which was delicious. Their sandwiches also looked tasty. Great food, great portions and good prices. Will definitely be bringing other friends here in the future. read more

Enjoyed my visit to Si Cara after reading about the restaurant in an all star Boston pizza article in Eater. Was not disappointed. The eggplant Parmesan appetizer is big enough for two or three diners to share. Would have appreciated more vegan options on the menu. The margherita pizza was divine with the perfect puffy crust. Service was just right and I was seated immediately. read more

Wow this was so good!! We went for my birthday dinner last night and the pizza was delicious. It wasn't crazy expensive either. A great new addition to central square. read more

Came here for a rezzie for 8 people on Thursday. Overall very happy with the food and service. After our table was not ready for ~45 mins. we were seated outside on a gorgeous 70 degree night in Boston in October. We did not have a full blown server but they allowed us to order inside @ the bar and just sit outside. The pizza was good - the eggplant one, squash one, and the shrimp one were all very good (and lots of garlic on the shrimp one!). Pizza has super thick crust but the actual pizza isn't too bready. I would probably not come back just b/c the vibe isn't as good as SOURCE in Harvard Sq. or Pinnochio's in Cambridge but... it's a good addition to Central Square and the music was really good. It's a welcome addition to the 'hood and I think other people will become regulars (just not me). read more

Fuck this pizza is good. Apparently that's not enough characters for a review, despite it being quite complete in my opinion, so I'll continue on to say that Posto, Pastoral, A4, and Figs can go pound sand in the "Fancy Pizzas Over 20 Dollars Category" because I have a new daddy now. read more

I came here last night around 11 as it was one of the few places still serving food. I didn't have high hopes given most last night places are meh but this really blew me out of the water. This is probably some of the best pizza in Cambridge. Plus, the people who work there were super friendly and helpful as we were hangry and indecisive. read more

Meh, B-/C+ - burrata: good, but who can mess up barrata? - shredded Brussel sprouts salad: overly saucy and salty. Could be really good if they just used less sauce I think. Maybe ask for it on the side? - garlic bread: really soft and cheesy, more like a cheese calzone - eggplant pizza: so I think the pizza style is just not to my taste, it's really fluffy and doughy- feels like eating a chewy baguette- but if you like that style then maybe you'd appreciate it more Ambience was nice, everything was expensive but similar to other restaurants in Boston read more

We went out for a walk and decided to stop in for some pizza. Wow, delicious! They were very busy and quite full, but still accommodated us. The pizza is fresh and very flavorful, and we ate the whole thing along with a crisp fresh salad. The environment is very hip and yet still embracing. I highly recommend, and I'm not really a pizza eater. read more

Garlic Bread was small and just fair. Pepperoni Pizza, very good, light and airy crust, very good Neapolitan like dough. Only complaint with pizza was that it had an overpowering amount of oregano on it. read more

Nice place. Dough was a bit off from the Neapolitan pies I'm used to. Felt too heavy and almost undercooked despite the nice leoparding. We had the margarita and sausage/truffle. The latter (pictured) didn't really work.... Odd combo and need more punch. Margarita was decent and we enjoyed the apps too, Burata particularly. Overall excellent service and nice natural wine list too. read more

Si Cara - Sausage truffle pie - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

We enjoyed dinner at Si Cara this past Friday night. The restaurant was pretty packed when we arrived for our reservation so we had to wait around 10 minutes to get seated. We ordered a variety of appetizers and a pepperoni pizza. The appetizers were all delicious and full of flavor. The burrata came with piping hot bread to scoop up all the goodness. The beets had a variety of sauces which made the dish very unique. The meatballs were juicy and soft. The pizza had a softer bottom and fluffy crust, pretty solid if you prefer this type of pizza. Overall dinner was delicious. Still a couple of kinks to work out as a new restaurant but worth checking out if you are in the area. read more

Wow. I felt like I was back in Italy eating the canotto pizza. Top notch pizza. We did not try the pan pizza but they looked good. Nice little dipping sauce for the crust too. Green salad was one of the best I have had in a while. It is basically self serve and they bring the food to the table. Food came quickly. One nice thing was once your done you can leave when you please. Because you pre pay there is no waiting for the check read more

No matter how many times we order for delivery and request the delivery about 5 minutes before our meetings end, they still deliver the pizza's almost 50 minutes early and therefore this always results in COLD PIZZA! Even adding these notes for delivery when ordering, you still make the pizza immediately and it gets delivered too soon, much too soon that its always cold! read more

Wonderful crunchy on the outside/chewy in the middle sourdough crust. The pizzas are probably big enough for two people if you're not starving. Friendly folks served me and it's clean and new. A great value too. read more

Came here on a Saturday night. Found street parking about a block away. Wine list is good. Appetizers - we got the broccoli, very flavorful. Got the eggplant pizza and the sausage pizza. I loved the eggplant pizza! Such great texture. They give you a chili oil to dip the crust in which is a nice touch. Highly recommend. Service was very good. read more

If you love pizza crust, this is definitely the place for you! I'm the type to throw away my pizza crust if it's not good (sorry) but I loved the fluffy soft crust here. It was like biting into a warm cloud, and especially delicious paired with the garlicky olive oil they provided. I ordered the peperonata ($20) and the prosciutto cotto ($23) and they were both delicious! Although the crust is good, the ratio of crust to toppings is way too high in my opinion. It felt like 50% of the pizza was crust when I wanted more of the gochujang-infused peperonata or the truffle oil and prosciutto flavors. I have to take away a star for the exceptionally slow service. It took 15 minutes to put our order in and another 30 minutes for our pizzas to arrive! I know this is a new restaurant and our waitress was doing our best since the place was at full capacity, but next time I'll probably just order for pickup. The vibe of the place was really enjoyable. It was cool to see the open kitchen and pizza oven. It's a beautiful, bustling location with semi-loud conversations and music, good for catching up with friends over drinks and pizza! read more

Used to be great. I've eaten at Si Cara three times so far. The first experience was incredible, probably the best pizza I've had in the greater Boston area. The last two times have been mediocre at best. The pizza hasn't been the same. The lunch slices had very little sauce and cheese and were mostly bread. I know the pizza can be fantastic so I just hope they go back to making it the way they used to a few months ago. All the employees are extremely nice and service is fantastic. read more

I get that there are many positive reviews for Si Cara. Personally, I had somewhat of a lackluster experience here, mainly due to service and atmosphere which just was very meh... Pizza was nice enough although the dough was a bit on the soft side. Outdoors, seating is a good place for people watching and seeing life go by. Definitely, the location is excellent. The reason for the 3 stars is really due to lack of friendliness and warmth, in general. To be honest, our server - who to be fair, wasn't outwardly rude, just seemed disinterested, only providing us with short monosyllabic responses. It was clear she didn't want to be bothered. Later on, while interacting briefly with some of the staff inside, it was obvious that friendliness just isn't a thing here. And that's totally fine. As a result, in my opinion, it's a good pizza, but the whole package isn't enough to make me want to return. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I need to acknowledge the staff and the quality of food coming out of this place. 10/10 every single time. Super hospitable, the pizza is consistent, the servers are incredibly friendly. Go here. Update: If you see a review in Yelp that looks like someone WANTS to be a food critic - ignore them. Seriously. I just scrolled through and those are some of the most pretentious comments I've ever seen. You're safe here. Book a reservation. read more

Visiting Boston for a few days and saw great reviews online so had to come! I had the mushroom neapolitan pizza, which was amazing. Love the mushroom variety, the taleggio cheese, everything. Super cute decor and vibes and nice staff read more

Been here a couple times and this is now my favorite pizza in Boston. The crust is very flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the topping choices are interesting and delicious. Everything else about the place is great too: nice vibe, small but interesting selection of natural wines. All the other food that we've tried beyond the pizza had been great: garlic bread, white bean dip, broccoli salad are all excellent. read more

I've gone to Si Cara 3 times now, and ordered takeout from them once as well. We were initially skeptical when it opened, because we saw so many uncomfortable first dates on the patio in the summer. However, as soon as we tried it we were impressed and very grateful we gave it a shot. The style is a rustic brick oven pizza, with an amazing flavorful and chewy crust. The pizza topping options are all innovative and surprisingly tasty. Our favorite is the eggplant piccata pizza, spanakopita pizza, and classic margherita. We also always get the kale caesar (it is amazing). We absolutely recommend this spot for good tasting and interesting pizzas! Service was good and the location is prime. Looking forward to continuing our patronage. read more

Napoleon pizza, love to watch how they make them. Good crust, flavors are not impressive. Tend to over burn. + Gochujang pizza is actually pretty novel and good read more

Si Cara - Gochujang pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

The food and wine was great, although expected a larger crust on the pizza. Looked more like a regular Neapolitan. The music is too loud and too much pop hits, hard to focus on the people you are with. The tables are too crowded - I was closer to my neighbors than my date. The service was too much - we felt like we constantly needed to attend to our server in conversation. Quiet, non imposing service is the best, just like music. read more

The pizza is awesome! We had the Valentine's Special and the crust is so pillowy and soft - it's like biting into a cloud! It has a nice chewiness to it as well. The inside is quite nice, it has a very cozy feel to it. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I think the only comment I have is that the wine servings are a bit expensive for the amount you get. They are quite good though. read more

TLDR: get the brussel sprouts!! Thé restaurant was popping for a Wednesday night when I went with a friend. We ordered the mushroom pizza, burrata, and brussel sprouts to share, which felt like an appropriate amount of food. Two pizzas might have been a little overwhelming for us and I much preferred the starters to the pizza personally. Burrata: 3.5/5 - I've never met a burrata I didn't Like. However, this one wasn't anything special and I do wish there had been more fig jam to balance the sheer volume of the cheese Brussel sprouts: 5/5 - surprise hit of the evening. The spicy, crispy chickpeas on top were incredible. I did not want to stop eating this dish Mushroom pizza: 3.5/5 - mushrooms were too crispy to have much flavor but the pizza dough was delicious Gold Fever (cocktail): 4/5 - we both ordered this and it was delicious and well balanced. Would definitely explore the cocktail list further next time read more

fantastic pizza! Somehow crispy on the bottom but overall soft and chewy? The mushroom pizza was so flavorful and had multiple types of mushrooms. Definitely eat it with the house made chili flake and garlic oil. The burrata appetizer was great too and came with bread that was like pizza crust, although I think I would want to try a different one next time. I would recommend getting a reservation! read more

Without a doubt the best pizza crust we've ever tasted. Light, fluffy, chewy - they even provide oil for dipping the crust (at least we assumed that's what it was for). Squash pizza was phenomenal, special pizza with soppressata and broccoli was also very good. Burrata appetizer with fig was also very tasty. Would order all three again. Only downside was the server was a but of a hoverer - asked us what we wanted to drink 3 separate times before we were ready... Ambiance-wise, pretty small and cozy place. Casual. Wooden chairs were definitely not the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in so not somewhere I'd want to spend more than 90 mins at. All that's said, food was great. Definitely rivals Posto for best Neapolitan-style pizza in Boston. We'll be back. read more

Pizza was absolutely incredible. It is a pretty small place but the ambiance is great.

This place is SO good, some of the best pizza in Boston for certain. The garlic bread is legitimately live changing, and I'm not even a huge garlic bread gal. The ROASTED GRAPE SODA?? A REVELATION. Best of all the service is amazing, shout out to our server John M who was very attentive, funny, friendly, timely, and really cared about our experience. We love John, we LOVE si cara! Can't recommend enough!! read more

Si Cara is a place with a lot of potential, but the pizza is inconsistent, the drinks & wine aren't very good and the reservation/walk in system is confusing. I think this place recently opened so I'll give it the benefit of a doubt and one of the three pizzas was excellent- so there's hope! We came by on a Friday night without a reservation- if you don't have a reservation its technically bar seating only. If you want a table they will take your name, but you'll only get a table if someone no-shows or cancels. But they don't say tell you that, so you're left to assume its like most places that keep a couple of tables open for walk-ins. BUT NOPE! Just grab a seat at the bar and save yourself the brain damage of the host trying to explain the system. The two wines I tried were not worth $14. Heck the $2 crap at TJs is more complex and satisfying. I would also avoid all the cocktails- as they are packed with ice or shaved ice. If there was more than a half sip of drink it could be great, but I guess the rent is too high, so you get ice. I would stick to the beer list. They have modern takes on typical high-end pizza starters and salads. The garlic bread was a crowd pleaser but one of us end up with an undercooked piece. Pizzas are creative and Neapolitan style. We tried the pepperoni, pork sausage, and eggplant. All the ingredients were top notch, and you get shaved black truffle on the pork sausage. Unfortunately, the quality varied from pie to pie. The pork sausage pizza was completely roasted. Not just a little charred, it was completely black on top. I watch the guy struggle with a couple pies, tossing a few in the trash. There was one he looked at and shrugged. That was ours- never seen that before, first time for everything (probably makes you wish you had a closed kitchen!). Eggplant pizza and pepperoni were the table's favorite, but the dough was under cooked. Toppings were tasty but man, I wish the dough was cooked 30 seconds longer. Prices aren't too bad if you were getting good product. I think there's better options for this pizza in the area. Ciao and Brewer's Fork are both superior pizzas without the quality issues. I don't think I'll be back. read more

So delicious!! I would absolutely recommend the meatball sandwich and the arancini. The pizza was delicious! It is doughier than I usually prefer but was paired with a delicious garlic oil to dip in. read more

Si Cara - Margarita pizza add prosciutto - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Very disappointed. We ordered two pizzas. One came out in a reasonable amount of time. Then they brought over the wrong pizza and we corrected them. They took it away and it then took 45 minutes for them to bring us the correct pizza. We had to ask about it and it seemed like they had forgotten about us. They didn't offer anything by ways of apologies. read more

Amazing new pizza place in Central Square. We tried a few different apps/starters and they were all amazing - garlic bread (it is small, so get a couple if you have a group of 4+), white bean dip, mixed green salad, and bittermelon panzenella (my favorite, unique and interesting flavors) The pizzas were so good. Crust had the right mix of chewy with a crisp outer texture, and a nice slightly tangy flavor. The ingredient combinations were all a bit unique, which I liked, and had great flavor combinations. Even the classic Margarita was stand out with roasted tomatoes, rather than just sauce and cheese. They had a good selection of natural wines, but not too big of a list so the choices were not overwhelming. The server gave us a great recommendation on the wine. We can't wait to go back! read more

Crazy good crust. This pizza might not make tradionalist pizza people completely ecstatic, but they will be happy. Maybe even very happy. We have had only a few, as they just opened a couple of weeks ago, but every pizza was quite good; magharita, pepperoni, peperonatta and mushroom. Each one an excellent choice. And the meatballs, they are to die for as we say back on the island. We will be back soon. read more

Fantastic! Pizzas are amazing in texture and presentation. Staff are super nice! Nice ambiance too!

Best pizza in Boston. Service is great, ambiance is nice, homely and comfortable. Staff very friendly .Nice patio for al fresco dinning. Highly recommended. read more

The food is great! Service is good, as they work out some opening kinks. The charred cantaloupe dish was full of flavor and texture, very savory. The meatballs were tender and well seasoned with welcome brightness from the pesto, and I was happy that it came with bread. The mushroom pizza was full of roasted wild mushrooms and big chucks of taleggio cheese and super flavorful as well. The glass of Sangiovese red wine poured well. We will visit again. read more
