I was craving a pizza after a late night enjoying the city. I had a discount promo for Uber Eats and decided to use it here. They had several options on their online menu. I decided to go with the Wicked Pesto Pizza. It came with the signature crust, pesto base, grilled chicken, blue cheese, asiago, and fresh garlic. The driver dropped it off in front of the building and I picked it up. After first trying it, I was not impressed. It was very hard and dry. I had to reheat it in the microwave for it to be edible. I was expecting a delicious pizza packed with flavor. Instead I got something that I had to force myself to eat. I know Boston is not known for their pizza but I was expecting something halfway decent. If it was not for the Uber Eats discount I would have been upset with spending the cash. Next time I will try to check out some other spots for a slice of pizza. read more

Upper Crust on Charles Street has been reliably good every time I have visited. The pizza is just right, with a crisp crust, well-balanced sauce, and quality cheese. The slices are generous and satisfying. The slice and drink special is a great value, especially in this part of the city. Service is quick, direct, and efficient. It is easy to stop in, order, and get on your way. There are plenty of tables inside and a decent number outside if you want to sit and enjoy your meal. The location is hard to beat. Just a few blocks from Boston Common and the Public Garden, it is a perfect stop for a casual lunch or snack. This is my go-to spot when I want a quick, high-quality slice in the area. read more

We were recommended this joint from a friend, a self-described "gastro-tourist." And I'm really glad we stopped in! The place was tiny, barely any seats to be had, but we grabbed the one four-top in the joint. I could see why, though; this place did a heck of a business in pick-up orders! Very popular joint from what we could tell. We just stopped in for a slice, but oh man what a slice. It was so good! I'm about to start a fight here, I think, but dare I say... it rivaled some of the authentic NYC pizza joints I've sampled! Before you get all mad and start drafting petitions to officially reprimand me, let me explain. What is the best part of a pizza? Some say the toppings, others the cheese, and even others the crust. All very fair answers. But, to me, you can find pretty much the same in all three of those categories almost anywhere. Truly great pizza uses the same basic recipes for those elements. But, the sauce... this is where a pizzeria has a chance to shine. Almost all sauces (at least from the good spots) are homemade, and this is where the chef can really make an impact. My readers... this sauce... it was indescribably good. Mock all you want, but to me, a well-made pizza sauce can truly make all the difference in the world. In a time and place where we are blessed with great pizzas everywhere, it takes a brave and courageous shop to really stand out. Okay, so, maybe I overdid it a little. I stand by it all, though. I could have just enjoyed a nice slice and written it off as another good pizza place, but this location was memorable. And it was all because of the sauce. read more

Upper Crust Pizza is within walking distance from the park and found this place just by walking around the area. Overall we walked into this place to grab a slice of pizza. They had a few different topping pizzas, got pepperoni, and one that was filled with tasty basil on top of it. The slice was nice and thin and extra crispy! The slice itself was large and very filling! The inside of this place is small so there are a few small tables inside but they also had an outdoor area on the street. I enjoyed the flavor and the ingredients on the pizza such as the cheese were amazing! I would suggest going to this spot and enjoying a slice or two! read more

Honestly my favorite pizza in Boston, coming from a NYer! The staff are great, the shop is always bustling so you know it's good stuff! Favorite pizza is the vegetarian GOAT or the margarita, I love their calzones, their chicken tenders, fries, cheesy bread, pasta, and I've even had their vegan pizza and it's really great! You can build your own pizza and sub in vegan cheese which has always been a great option when I have friends over who are vegan. I'm now realizing how much of their menu I've tried....you can't really go wrong here! Stop in for a massive slice if you get a chance! Inside is a bit smaller for group seating but they have an awesome outdoor area set up right now. Plenty of seating for groups of 2-4 inside. Margherita Pizza read more

Ordered delivery and it took 1 1/2 hours to be delivered. Pizza came cold. They have a very low bar for delivery times since their boxes have instructions on how to reheat the pizza printed on them. After 1 1/2 hours, I received a call from a random number and the lady said some gibberish and hung up. A few minutes later, I was texted a photo of a pizza box that was on a random table. I assumed it was somewhere in the hotel I was staying at. I went on a wild goose chase and finally found it. Just an absolute joke of a delivery service. I was standing outside for 35 minutes and they decided to walk in and place the pizza on a random table. The pizza was okay after heating it up for ten minutes with a blow-dryer. read more

Specialties

Upper Crust in Beacon Hill: where our tradition is all about celebrating the unique and embracing flavors that take you on a journey. Our Boylston BBQ pizza is a fan favorite on Charles Street. The Nashville Hot Tenders bring a spicy kick to your plate, while The Charles Pizza (is it named after Charles Street or the Charles River? We may never know) brings a delicious blend of cheeses to the table. And, of course, the Beacon Hill Buffalo pizza pays homage to our iconic location with a fusion of buffalo sauce, chicken and blue cheese .

History

Established in 2001.

When The Upper Crust first launched in 2001, our distinctive name conveyed a bold message: "we're not the same old Boston pizzeria." Our unique pizzas and the unconventional spirit of our team validated that message, infusing Upper Crust with a soul that customers could taste. While “pizza traditionalists” clung to century-old recipes, we dared to experiment with flavors like BBQ, feta, and pesto long before they became pizza staples. Why? Because our passion lies in creating innovative twists on beloved classics, not in adhering to tradition, old-world ovens, or ancestral recipes. Since the times of y2k and low-rise jeans, we've been pushing the boundaries of pizza and chicken, and according to our loyal customers, we're pretty darn good at it. They even say our pizza and chicken are "sorta famous." That suits us just fine.

The box combos are where the value really shines. You get a great deal on a satisfying meal where everything works together. The chicken is always reliably good, and that signature sauce, a creamy, tangy, slightly peppery blend is what ties it all together. It's delicious for dipping not just the chicken, but also the fries and that excellent, soft Texas toast. The fries themselves hit that sweet spot of being crispy without being greasy. A word to the wise: the lines can get seriously long, as it's a hugely popular spot. The absolute best move is to order ahead through their app to skip the wait, which makes grabbing a quick and easy meal a total breeze. Overall, it's a consistently good, decently-priced meal for when a fried chicken craving strikes. Just a heads-up that all that fried goodness, while tasty, can sometimes feel a bit heavy on the stomach, but for most it's a small price to pay for that specific comfort food fix.

The chicken thighs were seasoned well and juicy! The only thing I didn't like, was the waffle was kind of soggy and thin. Not like a Belgium waffle that is thick and crispy. But still, not bad. I would recommend trying them out but make reservations for a table.

Not sure the of the part of the city it's in maybe Beacon Hill as I'm a New Yorker ! The restaurant was cozy in a lower space of a brownstone building . We ordered tapas and had everything (almost !) on the Tapas menu . They did have full entrees but we were full off the Tapas . There were 4 of us and there was plenty of food . The Louisiana Crawfish Arancini , cast iron baked Brie with homemade potato chips , broccoli , Cajun catfish bites ( which has the most amazing sauce !!), Tuna Tartare and the steak tips were amazing!! The table next to us had the Buttermilk fried chicken which I wanted but after all the tapas we were done ! Dessert was the Beignets that were delish !! I honestly don't remember what we drank because the food was so good ! I'd go back if I'm in Boston . Pack your patience looking for a park because it's like Brooklyn trying to find spots . You can use an app to find the nearest lot to pay and walk . Reservations preferred . I used Open Table .

Ordered the food, came back in an hour or so and everything was ready, hot, & delicious! Would definitely recommend for small events or small catering needs. All the staff were very nice and accommodating, even helped me bring my order to my car. The food was delicious & well seasoned. Got lots of compliments from those who ate it.

This place is right in the Kendall Square area, an easy walk from all of the tech companies. 10 piece fried chicken - Chicken was decent sized and definitely not bulk ordered chicken. This was marinated and spiced in-house. It had good strong flavor, with a hint of ginger that stood out. I think it's ginger, at least. Enjoyable, not dry at all. I would get it again. Chicken cheese patties - they were dry and not that cheesy at all. This saddens me as the place prior to them opening served the best chicken cheese patties in the area. Chicharron - Kind of over cooked and dry. The skin is definitely crispy - almost to a fault as most were too hard to enjoyably bite into. The dryness was the worse. Plaintains were okay, tasted more like potatoes but I think thats how they are supposed to taste anyways. Service was good. Checkout was easy with tap-to-pay. The place looks clean and had 2 or 3 small tables inside.

Dave's Hot Chicken

This Dave's Hot Chicken location near Fenway definitely lives up to the chain's reputation for…read moreserious Nashville-style heat. Being in such a busy area means it can get really crowded, and parking around Fenway is famously tough, so planning for takeout or delivery through their app might save you some hassle. The core of the meal is the crispy chicken tenders or sliders with that signature spicy rub. It starts mild at the lower levels but has a significant ramp. Starting at "Medium" is where you really begin to feel the tingling burn, and it jumps dramatically from there to the "Extra Hot" and "Reaper" levels. The Dave's Sauce is the perfect creamy, cooling companion to cut through that heat The chicken can sometimes be on the drier side, though the generous sauce helps. The crinkle-cut fries are a solid side, and their thick milkshakes are a popular choice for putting out the fire if you overestimate your spice tolerance. It's a solid, no-frills spot for a crave-worthy spicy chicken fix. Just know your spice level, expect a crowd (especially around game time), and have a plan for parking.

Finally found fried chicken that saves me a trip to Nashville. I ordered the HOT and my son ordered…read morethe medium. The spice was perfect for me, but my son could only handle the medium. I ordered a sandwich and a chicken tender and wish that I got two sliders, it was so good! The chicken is super tender and juicy, it comes with a sauce and slaw that is fantastic and the pickles cool down the heat balancing everything out. My son ordered the mini sliders and he got jealous when he saw my regular sandwich. The slider is a full size sandwich and the mini's are bite size.

The chicken's good. Nice, crispy exterior. The flavor is better than KFC but the obe advantage KFC has is the crispiness/batter ratio. This place could have a heavier batter, that would just be the best. Very reasonable prices, and the best thing is, you can do your food à la cart. Instead of having to buy a plate of chicken and fries, I was able to do pieces of chicken if I wanted to. Better than that, I could select individual pieces of different types (thigh, wing, etc.). For that, it's an excellent business model I wish restaurants would adopt it. The rest of the food looks pretty tasty and would easily come back for more.

Raising Cane's is that straightforward fried chicken chain that does one thing and does it pretty…read morewell. The whole concept is built around their signature chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, and that iconic Cane's sauce. The lines here are pretty much a given, with a good tip is to use their app to order ahead; it lets you skip the wait, which is a lifesaver during peak times. Once you get your food, it's exactly what you expect: crispy, reliable chicken fingers that are decently priced. The Cane's sauce really is the star and pairs perfectly with everything. It's a solid, quick meal when that specific craving hits. It's not fancy, and yeah, sometimes all that fried goodness can sit a bit heavy, but for a no-fuss box of comfort food, it consistently hits the spot. It's easy to see why it's become such a popular chain across the country.
