University House of Pizza — Restaurant in Boston

I was at the MFA today and UHOP is across the street. My daughter loves pizza so we went there. We walked in and sat down to read the menu and decide on food instead of standing at the counter being indecisive.

When I went to the counter to order, a lady who I believe to be the owner was putting change in the cash register. She made eye contact with me, smiled, greeted me, then walked away. The young lady who was initially at the register walked from the back to the front with a pizza she was making. She worked on it a few seconds then came and asked me what I wanted to order. I ordered: a chicken quesadilla, spicy curly fries, a small pepperoni pizza, and two drinks.

When the chicken quesadilla came, it was a buffalo chicken quesadilla and saturated with hot sauce. There is no indication of this on their menu. There are other items that are clearly marked and state, "buffalo chicken." There is no distinction, however, for the chicken quesadilla.

I took the plate back to the counter and explained that I was not expecting buffalo sauce on the quesadilla and the two young ladies responded by saying that's how they make them. I stated that there is no indication that it would be a buffalo chicken quesadilla. One told me it's not--it's a chicken quesadilla with buffalo hot sauce on it. When I responded that there is no way of knowing that, the young lady who took my order told me in a very sharp and condescending tone, I should have asked. Instead of the situation escalating into a confrontation, I told her to give me my money back for the item. She gave it back to me by smacking it down on the counter with a scowl on her face. I took it and packed my things and left. Needless to say, we will never go back and they won't get another cent from me. Very poor...

Coming from NYC my standards for pizza are quite high. With that said, UHOP has become a staple of my late-night study groups over the past few years.

The first thing to note is this is Greek pizza. If you're looking for a NY-style slice, you're not gonna find it here or anywhere else in Boston for that matter. Greek pizza is prepared in a pan with more olive oil and uses a lighter tomato sauce. I had never heard of such a thing before coming to New England and opinions are subjective, but I personally find it delicious. To criticize it with the expectations of a NY-style slice is to fundamentally misunderstand what this place is good at.

Owners and employees are courteous, I see some reviews complaining about them, but I have never had an issue. There's usually only two or three people behind the counter so there may be a wait for your food to be prepared but that is to be expected. Food is reasonably priced for an urban area, $13 for a large cheese. They're also open late which has been a lifesaver for me as an underclassman given the dining halls close early. I cannot speak to their individual slices or other food as I only order pies.

P.S. - If you're ordering delivery I'd suggest calling it in or using their website rather than using a delivery app. As an UberEats driver myself let me say those apps truly do eat into a restaurant's...
