    Was craving pizza and wanted to try a new place this day (real adventurous I know...). For parking there's a CVS lot nearby if you're really sneaky (there's no room to double park on the street) which is convenient (unless you have a South End parking permit). The interior is definitely a no thrills type of establishment and is NOT air conditioned (which can be a problem during a particularly hot day). I ordered a custom pizza and was out the door in about 15-20 minutes. In regards to the pizza I got (pineapple, jalapeno, bacon and onion) it wasn't bad but nothing spectacular. The sauce was pretty good but the whole pizza was a bit soggy and there was cheese falling everywhere when trying to eat it. Crust was so-so. We also got a garden salad that came with a piece of bread which was... also okay (I mean it is salad...) The owner was nice and the pizza (the one I had anyways) was okay. Perfectly acceptable but nothing phenomenal.

    Small black olive, eggplant, sausage light sauce well done!   Mmmmmmmm!!!

    My husband and I started going to Pizza Stop when I was an impatient at Boston Medical Center about a year ago. We asked the nurses where to get pizza that was good and flat out everyone said to go to Pizza Stop! During my long stay at BMC we must have ordered from them 5 or 6 times, the pizza is AMAZING!!!!! This pizza is GREEK STYLE pizza and the crust is Greek Style, crunchy, thin, cooked in a pan and if you are are a crust lover like I am, this is the place for you! If you are looking for hand tossed and stretched Italian Style pizza, you might not like it here but "don't yuck on my yum"! A few months later I found out I have Stage 4 Metestatic Cancer in my Kidney and lymph nodes, and in the area again but at a different hospital.in the Longword area. Happily in one of my first nights in town we order our favorite pizza in all our Boston and when my husband went in, the owner remembered him! My Husband told him I was pretty sick and he made us a huge piece of fried dough with sugar, cinnamon, and powdered sugar on it and told him to bring it to me! No charge! I thought that was great he remembered us and even greater he sent me a little treat! It was not the cost of the fried dough, it was the kind gesture that really touched me! I'm back in the hospital again And nearly died on the OR Table last week, but thankfully made it out of a critical situation when I ended up having zero kidney function and now that I can eat FOOD, tonight we will be ordering a large, light sauce, sausage, Black Olive and Eggplant pizza, well done and some onion Rings ( thick yummy beer battered), fries and a sub to split, probably steak and cheese after reading all the reviews here on Yelp! I can't wait!!!!!

    Custom made M&O. Extra Sauce, Lite cheese, and well done. Perfectly yumalicious! Ty Stephen!

    Stephen runs a great restaurant. He always makes sure my food is prepared the way I like it. We live right around the corner and I eat here often. The subs are fresh and tasty. I like the grilled chicken. The pizzas are really good too and they also sell slices. I just tried the steak tips with rice and salad last night and they were good. Marinated and tasty. Sausage Pizza A+, if you like real sausage and not that balled Papa Johns crap, this is your pizza.

    Kinda disturbing.

    So I guess I'm ordering from them too many times now since the delivery driver was hella late with my food, he almost forgot my pizza and When I open the box the marinara sauce was spilt almost everywhere. I'll forgive you guys but please don't Let this unprofessionalism happen again. Thanks.

    Chicken wings without breading
    Izzy Z.

    Ordered to go here because I was starving. We ordered chicken wings and a buffalo finger salad. We didn't have to wait long for our food! They make pretty awesome salads! I'm not a bit fan of salads, although there's looked especially good! It had olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, a huge peperoncino pepper, and lettuce of course! The buffalo fingers were just perfect for the salad, add a different kind of crunch! We got a side of pita bread and these cute buns that they made with extra pizza dough! SO CUTE! The people who work there have always been very nice and I have not had a bad experience yet with them. The wings were awesome! I had the option of having them breaded or not, which I liked. I've always preferred my wings fried without being breaded. The one not so great part was the fact that I got a few very small pieces of wings, which probably would count as half a wing lol. They literally looked like they were missing half of itself lol. But they still counted them in as one. I didn't mind because by the time I was nearly done, I was already stuffed. I've had their pizzas before, but nothing too extraordinary...just pizza lol. Overall, a great place for food if you are hungry or need food fast!

    Large pastrami with pickles and provolone cheese.
    Luisa G.

    So far I tried there pastrami sub and it was very good. I should've got Mayo on it but other than that it was bomb.com a lot of meat in that sub. I wish they would wrap up the sub to keep it warm. Instead of just putting it in a styrofoam.

    You might accidentally walk past this cute Italian ristorante...and you would regret it. I walked…read morearound the area for a while before settling at a table by the window in Giacomo's. I was quickly greeted and informed that they were cash-only dining. But fret not, for just inside the doorway is a perfectly placed ATM. It took only a few seconds for me to pinpoint the exact item on the menu that my stomach was craving and my eyes fixed upon...Antipasto for an appetiser and chicken Marsala for the entree. The antipasto dish arrived very quickly and was a beautiful layout. Of course I desired to save some room for the entree but ended up eating about 3/4 of the appetiser before it arrived. The chicken marsala was absolutely perfect, still steaming on the plate as she placed it before me. I told myself I would only eat half the dish and take the rest back to my hotel for snacking later. However, my taste buds are not allow me to stop feasting on this Italian delicacy. If you're ever in the area, don't worry about the other Italian restaurants in the downtown, although I am sure that they are well and good, but Giacomo's is well worth your consideration. My only regret is that I only have one more night here to try another one of their delectable dishes.

    Wait wasn't too long on a Friday night…read more I enjoyed the texture of the fusilli and it certainly was a hearty bowl of pasta. Beyond that though, nothing remarkable. Portion size was decent although prices are not cheap (just entree alone will be minimum $30). They specialize in seafood so the only protein options that weren't seafood were chicken or veal. There weren't too many apps that caught my eye, particularly lacking veggies. Service is on the ruder side. They automatically add 20% tip to your bill.

    This is my second time coming to Gigi!…read more Every time when I'm in Boston it will be a tradition from now on. Our server, Leo, was very friendly, and he helped us pick what to get. We ordered their special of the day: the fried zucchini tempura, cod, and veal vodka spaghetti, as well as the rice meatballs, regular meatballs, and the alla vodka rigatoni. Everything tasted phenomenal. The setting was so cozy and it's always a wonderful time in this space. Make sure to book a reservation, because it's impossible to get a walk in table, even on a rainy day!

    Last night, my friend and I tried Gigi for the first time for dinner!…read more Definitely super busy on a Saturday night so I highly recommend making reservations. They have indoor seating & outdoor "patio" seating. We started off the meal with drinks! We ordered the limoncello spritz & the pistachio martini. The limoncello spritz tasted refreshing & like a sparkling lemon/limeade with a hint of honey. The pistachio martini was very creamy & tasted sweeter at the end of each sip. We shared two appetizers: the arancini and the calamari fritti. We LOVE calamari & always end up ordering it at every restaurant we visit that has it on their menu. We liked the presentation but wished that the calamari was crispier. The batter is thicker + unseasoned & was fried lightly. The two sauces definitely helped here. We enjoyed the arancini much more than the calamari, though that's not to say the calamari was bad haha. The arancini was just a better bite! I loved that they were crispy, cheesy, + quite flavorful. I highly recommend getting the arancini appetizer. As for entrees, we each ordered a pasta. We did the rigatoni alla vodka & chitarra alla vongole. I'm a big fan of white wine pastas with clams & have to say this one was GOOD! Very flavorful actually, while still tasting light. The sauce had a smokey garlic flavor that I really liked! They gave a lot of clams too, so I was pretty happy with my choice in ordering this dish. The rigatoni alla vodka is perhaps their most popular dish and what our server suggested instead of getting the bolognese. We thought it was just okay. It doesn't come with any protein, just pasta + sauce but it wasn't memorable. I'd say, maybe try the other pasta dishes they have before getting the rigatoni alla vodka. Overall, it wasn't a great meal! The highlights for me were the arancini and the chitarra alla vongole. I think I would come back again to try more dishes & although service was a bit slower (with how busy it was), our server was kind & helpful! Prices were on par with other Italian restaurants in/out of the city. Parking: street parking

First things first, I gotta kiss the ring of the Boston Godfather himself, KZ. He's the one who brought us to this joint, and when the Godfather makes a recommendation, you don't ask questions. You show up, you sit down, and you eat. Grazie, Don KZ. I owe you one, and someday, maybe that day will never come, you can call on me for a favor. I came to Boston on business, and this place made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Walkin' up those wood-paneled stairs felt like I was bein' brought in for a sit-down with the five families. Once we got seated with that wall of wine starin' at us, I knew we were in good hands. Bread hits the table with olive oil, chili flakes, and grated cheese. Already, I'm a believer. I went with the lasagna with Bolognese, and this thing was the size of a cinder block. Layers on layers, cheese meltin' out the sides, smothered in a rich meaty Bolognese. It was like goin' to Grandma's house, if Grandma was tryin' to feed the whole neighborhood. One plate could feed a family of four, easy. The rest of the crew ate like made men. Dapper Dave 2DF and Chuckie "Meatballs" joined us at the sit-down, and these two didn't come to talk business, they came to eat. Chicken piccata over angel hair loaded with lemon and capers. Cavatelli piled high with sausage, prosciutto, spinach, and onions. Fat meatballs and sausage swimmin' in red sauce over fresh ribbon pasta, and I'll let you guess which one of 'em ordered that. Nobody left hungry, nobody left disappointed. Respect. Here's how serious I am: I brought leftovers all the way back to San Diego. They packed it up nice and tight like precious cargo. Then TSA tries to tell me I gotta kick it to the curb. Excuse me? So we had a little negotiation, a sit-down right there at the checkpoint, and I got it through. Then they're eyein' it like they wanna take a bite. Fuhgeddaboudit. I wasn't sharin'. Nobody touches the lasagna. This is the kinda place that keeps you up at night wantin' more. You're in Boston and you don't eat here? That's an insult to the family, and the Godfather don't forget an insult. -- Captain 619

The crowd seemed to be mostly locals, and I got the sense that many of them were regulars working their way through the menu one visit at a time. That's always a good sign. We started with a salad that was beautifully prepared. It wasn't overdressed, just lightly tossed with a delicious vinaigrette that let the ingredients shine. For our mains, the chicken parm was excellent--crispy, flavorful, and comforting without feeling heavy. The gnocchi was equally impressive. The dumplings were tender and pillowy, and the pesto tasted incredibly fresh, as if it had just been made that day. It's a simple dish when done well, and this version was done very well. I'd order it again and again.

The shrimp was cooked perfectly but the seasoning was on the bland side and too little sauce. It did have a nice brightness on the lemon and butter. The pasta had good texture (freshly made), but not enough flavor. The place was quite busy on a Monday night, but I don't think I'll return.
