Boston Food Exploration: Si Cara is a Must-Try, No Joke

Words can hardly describe how delicious the pizza at this place is—so I’ll keep the title simple and direct. 🍕 A friend from U.S. high school strongly recommended it, and four of us went together to try. Apparently, it’s the favorite spot of his Italian teacher—now that’s what I call a solid recommendation. 👨‍🏫 📍 Address: 425 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge We went on a Sunday. They serve the lunch menu until 3 PM, then switch to the dinner menu after 3 PM (which includes different small plates and desserts). Since my friend really wanted to try the meatball pizza, we cleverly arrived at 2:30 PM, ordered a mushroom pizza first, and then ordered more after the menu changed. Smart move, right? 😎 Enough talk—let’s eat! 🍞 Garlic Bread I thought it would come as several slices, but it was one whole piece! We cut it into four to share—absolutely fragrant and irresistible! Never had garlic bread like this before—who could resist?! The buttery garlic aroma is downright sinful (let’s ignore the calories for now!). So delicious it leaves you speechless. Just order it when you go—no regrets! 😭 🍄 Mushroom & Guanciale Pizza You’ll regret not trying this! I’m not exaggerating—this pizza is intensely savory and packed with flavor. Freshly baked thin crust, chewy yet tender—not hard or crispy, and you won’t want to leave even the crust behind! Topped with a runny sunny-side-up egg in the middle that makes it even more incredible. Even my friend from Hong Kong who prefers milder flavors loved it… No joke, you have to try it! So good it made me tremble with joy, glowing with happiness—felt like reenacting a scene from Jiang Dahai! Tears of deliciousness! 🥹 🦪 Clam Casino (Appetizer) Thought it’d be simple steamed clams, but one bite—boom! A bold flavor explosion! Four pieces per order, each loaded with what I guess is a secret vodka sauce. The sauce is truly magical—boozy, spicy, salty with a hint of sweetness, unlike anything I’ve tasted before. Eaten with the bacon and clam, plus a squeeze of lemon—refreshing and exciting, perfect with drinks! Everyone at the table was amazed. So unique! 🍸 🍖 Meatball Pizza (Forgot the exact name) Personally, I found this one just okay, but the cheese pull was insane—so much cheese! They really don’t skimp on toppings here. The meatballs are hearty and filling, great value for money. It was my friend’s favorite—worth a try if you love meaty pizzas! 👍 ✅ Final Thoughts: If you love bold flavors, you’ll absolutely adore this place—no wonder it’s featured in “Boston’s Best Pizza” lists! If you’re worried about finishing a whole pizza, they also offer slices, which is really considerate. Even if your taste leans mild, I’d recommend sharing with friends and giving it a try. It’s seriously so fragrant and delicious… it might bring you to tears. 😭 #BostonFood #BostonExploration #Pizza #BostonMustEat #ItalianPizza #FoodRecommendation
