O'Cheese — Restaurant in Boston

This review is based on our second visit in just three weeks.

The first time, a quick Google search for the best pizza brought us to O'Cheese. I saw the high ratings and said to my family, "This place must be good—let’s try it." We’re so glad we did! We walked past several other pizza spots and ended up here, and it did not disappoint.

We found a table right away for our party of five. The menu has so many great options. On our first visit, we ordered the Margherita Pizza and the Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch Pizza. Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe it. This is hands-down the best pizza I’ve ever had.

The staff was incredibly friendly. The customer service alone is a 10/10. They checked in on us, treated us with genuine warmth, and made us feel valued.

That amazing first experience brought us back again—from New Hampshire—and let me tell you, it was worth the trip. I believe it was the owner who recognized us right away, especially my daughter. He treated her with such kindness that she felt like the most special customer in the place.

During our second visit, we tried The Patriots Pizza (we swapped the mushrooms for bacon) and the How Dare You pizza. Oh. My. Word. Just incredible. I’m a foodie, and I’ve had pizza in Little Italy, NYC—this was better.

We also ordered wings with garlic butter sauce on the side. These wings were fried to perfection—crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. I got the 14-piece, and we devoured every last one.

I highly recommend this place. The service, the food, the menu options—everything is a 10/10. It's absolutely a must-try. Yes, the hype is real—because the food is...

Price: About $16-$24 for a pizza, depending on sizes and toppings. Getting there: You will need to walk/take a train. Nearest station: Aquarium (Blue Line)

This is a very low-key place. The dining room isn't very big, only having 4 tables with 14 chairs. Decorations are minimal but intentional, giving it a cozy hole-in-the-wall feel. The storefront is simple and has quaint charm. The smell of fresh pizza permeates the air, heightening the anticipation of what's cooking in the back.

And when that pizza arrives, it is a treat. The owner is not just a chef, but an artist. Toppings are placed generously but not sloppily. The pizza is baked perfectly with no under or over cooked portions and a satisfying ratio of softness and crunch. The ingredients were sourced with care and attention to quality. Truthfully, I don't know if anyone could have done it any better.

O'Cheese is the sum of every great aspect of family-run restaurants and the Google Maps reviews reflect this; this is the only restaurant I have ever seen in a major city that maintains a 5.0 star rating on Google Maps while actively accumulating reviews. As of my first visit on July 18, 2025, O'Cheese rightfully has a 5 star average across its 371, and now, 372,...

Unfortunately we were unable to actually try it. We came and ordered on the way thinking we could take it and go since we were on a time crunch. It said it would be ready on 25 minutes so we headed there to pick it up only to find that it was closed. The online ordering took our order and said it would be ready. There were no signs, no information on why they were closed today, absolutely nothing. Such a shame. We came because of the high rating but seemingly fake. Hopefully only a one time thing but for someone visiting from out of state this is extremely disappointing.

Edit: We came back the next day to try it out. The food was quite good. Unfortunately, the online ordering situation doesn't work for them very well. We ordered online, and they said it would be done in 25 minutes, and we got there about 15 minutes in. Good thing too since they didn't receive the order because the app on their tablet didn't show. Once it was restarted, they received the order. No big deal good thing we had time to spare. The pizza came out quickly, and it was pretty good. Nice family owned business. Hopefully you can get your app...
