Harvard House of Pizza — Restaurant in Cambridge

When the pizza is fresh, it's bomb.

Ever since I was a kid I had a very specific image of what "the perfect pizza" looked like. Basically, the way they make it look in cartoons with the cheese dripping off of every steamy slice...haha. (laughing at myself) So, I'm rather partial to greasy pizza I guess.

The very first time I stopped in Harvard House of Pizza I just grabbed their slice and drink combo for something quick to tide me over. I didnt pay much attention to how the pie looked, chilling there under the heat lamp or whatever. It was probably there for a bit cause even after they heated it up for me it was just ok. I didnt think I'd be back.

But I'm glad I did wind up coming back, my friend and I split the double slice combo and this time it was piping hot, right out of the oven — spitting image of my dreamy cartoon pizza. Haha. And the service was really friendly.

We've gone back a few times now and prefer to just get a small pizza because then the slices are definitely fresh each time. The people who work there are friendly and generous, really appreciate them. Can't speak to the rest of the menu, but I definitely recommend stopping in and getting at it...

Unfortunately this is not based on the food as we never had the opportunity to try it. We walked in, walked straight to the counter and asked for change to pay for the meter. We started to order and just as the order was finished being completed my friend told me he had to desperately use a bathroom and he walked out. I immediately thought why not use the bathroom here. I quickly turned to the man who was providing me change and asked him if my friend could use the bathroom. He looked at women to his left and she said we don't have a bathroom here. I thought that strange so I looked behind her and saw a sink so I asked to wash my hands to which she replied I'll bring you a wet napkin.Wish I could have stayed and tasted the food, but when an employee and the manager/owner are on different pages....I must go GEORGE I sincerely appreciate the offer of the free lunch but I'm not looking for anything for free in this life I'm just saddened by the way she wouldn't allow a potential customer, at minimum, to simply wash their hands after a hard...

10/10 would eat here again. Got the spinach pie, eggplant parm sub, and baklava.

The spinach pie came piping hot and it was so flavorful! it was absolutely delicious. It was a little on the greasy side but it wasn't too overbearingly oily to not enjoy every bite. I devoured this thing. Shared with my vegetarian friend and he also loved it and doesn't usually like spinach! 10

The eggplant parm sandwich was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. I wouldn't change a thing! My picky veg friend also gave it a 10! Definitely going there with them again bc it's so hard to get them to eat vegetables! Lol!!!

Finally - Baklava. Mmm mmm mm! This place gets another 10.

When I come next time I will take photos so...
