Gary's Pizza — Restaurant in Boston

Legitly the best Roman-style pizza I've ever had and some of the best pizza I've ever had in general! These thicc brick pizzas have that light crispy exterior with perfectly chewey dough inside.

My two favorites here are the spicy sopressata and the prosciutto di parma. The toppings on these two masterpieces are completely dialed in and are super fresh, quality ingredients. I've had plenty of other pizzas of the same name/similar toppings, but the ones from here are at the peak. Sweet and savory —my favorite flavor combo, nailed in two unique ways with these pizzas. The roasted pepper harmonized with the meat and honey. The roasted figs melt in your mouth with each bite, and each bite —a blessing. Hallelujah!

The staff here is so warm and kind as well. They were trying to get rid of bread at the end of the day and graciously offered us some of their roasted tomato focaccia, which we graciously accepted. It was perfect focaccia —light crisp like their pizzas, with nice bounce to the soft interior.

Lastly, we tried the chocolate chip cookies here, and they were super solid. I'm a cookie snob, and I don't say that often. They have good old-fashioned quality cookies with the mandatory sea salt sprinkle. Delightful. We will definitely be back for our favorites and to discover more!

Update I tried the prosciutto sandwich. It looked very unassuming and humble, but it was all a guise. When I took a bite, it revealed it's true angelic form as one of THE best sandwiches I've ever had. My friends, the sandwiches are just as dialed in as the pizzas —the most optimal combination of the freshest ingredients residing between airy toasted pieces of delicious bread. It had a hint of sweetness with its perfectly savory overtone. I wish this place was closer to me in the north shore. Blessed are those who live near...

I don’t remember how the pizza tasted in Italy since it has been years, so I didn’t expect this pizza to unlock a memory from that trip. The crust was perfectly crispy and airy, and each slice had a distinct flavor. The salt-cured egg yolk on the Green Asparagus in particular was interesting—there wasn’t much, but the amount that was there added an impactful dimension to the flavor.

My main critique is that the pizza was very salty. It definitely got to be too much after the first slice. I wondered if it was an off batch, but the cookies in the ice cream sandwich were also overwhelmingly salty (the house-made vanilla bean gelato was delicious, though!). I saw a review claiming the pizza to be too sweet, so maybe the feedback had been taken too far in the other direction.

Regardless, 5/5 because it was a pleasant dinner overall, and service was...

Ok, I tend to be pretty harsh with my reviews. If it's good, great. But if it is not good, I tell it like it is, I'm too old to waste time with BS reviews. One of our best clients had this pizza and salads delivered to work today, and I am impressed! I tried the Margarita and the Spring Asparagus pizza, and the Caesar Salad. Can it be true? The pizza was fantastic! And the salad, with those yummy croutons? Delicious! If this place can stay on track, and reproduce what we had today for lunch, on an ongoing basis, this could end up being in the top two best pizza places in...
