Checkmate Cafe — Restaurant in Boston

often times we are quick to write a negative review vs a good one. I want to share a wonderful experience with Checkmate Cafe. I had placed a delivery order yesterday and in preparation, I separated my tip from the rest of the cash that I had in my wallet. When the driver arrived he handed me the pizza and I handed him his tip. I ate the yummy pizza and then went out to the store to pick up a couple of things. As I go to pay and I'm searching my pocket for my cash and only count $5.00! I'm freaking out because I could not find the $90.00 in cash that I had. I then realized my huge mistake! I handed the driver a $90.00 cash tip and I kept my the $5.000. I quickly called @checkmake and told them my situation. The owner was super nice and said well this is a tough situation it will be your word against his. I was getting upset but understood it was no one's fault but mine! It was my mistake! At that very moment the driver comes in, the owner asks the driver if he received a $90.00 tip. I was like there is NO WAY he is going to say yes! Wouldn't you know the driver counted his tip and said yes he did! WHAAAAAATT!!!!!!! Is this really happening! Someone being completely honest! I was sooo appreciative I told him to keep a portion of the money and I pick up the rest! Thank GOD for honest people...

I have been to many of the pizza and sub shops in Rozzie. Checkmate is unequivocally the best!! Pizza is a thin crust with the right amount of topping that does not overpower the balance of flavor. Subs use a great roll that is the best in Boston in my opinion. They are not soggy like other local shops and have the best cold cuts. The Italian is great but if you want to truly try something phenomenal try the Ultimate sub with sliced pork, ham, cheese, et al on a toasted GARLIC BUTTER roll. It's Insane! I first got their mailer and almost threw it out and noticed free delivery. With all the local delivery restaurants charging money for delivery I figured I would give them a try. I have ordered from them about 20 times and have never been disappointed in the food quality and at a reasonable price!! I have written only a few reviews but had to tell everyone about this place. Checkmate is a must eat...

I will never order from this place again. I use to order a few times a week. The delivery drivers were always polite, always rang my bell and always came to my apartment door. For the extra care, I'd always tip $5. Tonight was a world of difference, I ordered and waited. In the process, my phone died and I charged it. I noticed it was getting late and turned my phone on and checked it. I listened to the message from the delivery driver that never rang my bell. So, I call Checkmate apologizing that my phone was dead. And was going to explain that all the other delivery drivers from years of me having deliveries always rang my bell. However, I was rudely interrupted and was not able to speak. So not thank you, I will never be talked to...
