Insider Pages Reviews for The Upper Crust

4 Stars: The Upper Crust is good (by sue t.)

sue t. — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:57:00 GMT

The buffalo chicken is great (for a thin crust pizza). I normally don't like super-thin crust pizza, but I love the fun flavors at upper crust. The pizza isn't really filling though, so I always end up eating a lot.

3 Stars: It's decent (by Bo D.)

Bo D. — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:27:00 GMT

For Boston, Upper Crust pizza is better than average. There can also be inconsistency from location to location. But - I tried their calzones last week and was pleasantly surprised! I'd give this place more starts if it was more affordable. Two fat calzones cost $28.

1 Stars: They have gotten our order WRONG three times! (by alib000)

alib000 — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

We have ordered from Upper Crust a handful of times. Three times, out of say, six, they have gotten our order wrong. Tonight was one of those times! I called them and the employee who picked up said "Sorry- we mess up a lot these days." He offered to credit my account- for the third time. Needless to say, we will not be returning. It was a SIMPLE order, and it shocks me that the business doesn't care enough to listen to their customers!

5 Stars: Pizza is my favorite food! (by Maria M.)

Maria M. — Mon, 25 May 2009 22:34:00 GMT

I love Upper Crust's pizza! They are in a class of their own. Using the freshest ingredients, every bit is like heaven. I wished they delivered to my house.

5 Stars: Best Pizza I Have Ever Had (by YEAGER)

YEAGER — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

This is the absolute best pizza I have ever eaten. The prices are very affordable as well. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!

4 Stars: Slices of Heaven (by Dioriste)

Dioriste — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

UC is the place for a great slice -- their daily selections are creative and YUM! The crust is crispy, the specialty toppings are tasty (!) and their rustic tomato sauce is to die for.

Grab a slice and head across Beacon Street for a lunch in the Public Garden for a quick lunchtime escape!

1 Stars: Pizza very average, service poor (by Mark B.)

Mark B. — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:12:00 GMT

Read the reviews on this page, and new to the neighborhood, trotted off to The Upper Crust with a watering mouth. Then waited almost an hour for my pizza.

So much for freshly made.... they forgot I was there and said they'd shouted my name repeatedly, but it was my fault as I kept ignoring them.

OK, mistakes happen, but I was stood right next to the guy doing the calling the whole time, They could have made amends with a friendly apology - instead, I was left with soggy pizza and a bad impression.

5 Stars: Yum! (by wewillsee)

wewillsee — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Great pizza! This place deserves all 5 starts. I found the pizza to be superb. Fantastic! The options are many, the service is quick and friendly. The pizza tastes fresh because it is. Great.

1 Stars: Hold off on Tremont St. Location (by pepperoni)

pepperoni — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Usually go to the Charles Street location and very happy. Tremont Street location just opened- may want to give some time before visiting. Service is beyond bad. Waited over 25 minutes for a slice of plain, then looked at me as if I was the crazy one for complaining. Go to the UCP website and notice there's no way to contact them, probaly for a reason

5 Stars: please come to the beach! (by nedownsouth)

nedownsouth — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

i was in town for the weeknd with my wife, and we were craving some real, genuine pizza.. tghe concierge at our hotel recommended the upper crust, and were we glad he did! this pizza is what pizza is supposed to be - the dough was fresh, the veggies were crisp, and the sauce was good enough to eat with a spoon.. i guess there are a few other locations (we were told by some other local customers), but i can't image any have the same funky atmosphere.

Good work, guys! Open down south...

5 Stars: wow! (by Devin B.)

Devin B. — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:55:00 GMT

the pizza is huge! One slice is basically two! I love their pizza, it really just tastes so good. the people working there are pretty awesome. They have many varities to choose from.

5 Stars: Best Pizza in Town... My fav! (by Curlykookla)

Curlykookla — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I remember the first time I tried The Upper Crust..... I was on a Saturday afternoon stroll down Charles Street, watching the dogs, going in and out of boutiques, and then found myself standing outside a lil' pizza shop, watching boys toss some dough.... I couldn't resist, but to try some pie that I've been hearing about all over the city....

The service was friendly.... the man at the counter was funny, and helped me pick my toppings.... I sat at the window, ate a salad to start and then ate some of the pizza ever! Now I go to The Upper Crust every weekend!!!

YUMMY!!!

5 Stars: Fantastic, Fantastic, and well....Fantastic (by melda9)

melda9 — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Up from the Cape and we stopped at Upper Crust and I have to say that I thought the pizza was fantastic. A little bit of a line but not a long wait at all. All the people there let me know that this must be a pretty popular place to eat and must have pretty good food. I was surprised by some of the other reviews I read, I thought that I got great service there and the staff was very friendly and would highly reccomend anyone to check it out. My Review. Fantastic, fantastic, and well....Fantastic. A five out five stars.

5 Stars: great pizza.....my kids loved it (by unlcejesse)

unlcejesse — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

This place is great. My kids were fascinated with the way they roll out the pizza dough and flip it for everyone to see. It sure keeps the kids busy while their parents chowed on our pizza and calzone! The State House had so much meat on it and the chicken and broccoli calzone was to die for. We were stuffed for the whole day. The people there were very friendly and kept making sure all of the patrons were all set. The atmosphere was very warm. The employees treated people like they were in their home.

5 Stars: The Upper Crust (by SquintyMagoo)

SquintyMagoo — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

In my entire 50 years of eating pizza, the Upper Crust on Charles St. would rate #1! The family style open table dining is wicked fun and the staff efficient , engaging and entertaining! My demented friends and i will drive an hour to Upper Crust to have arguably the best pizza EVER!! PERIOD! Sauce, cheese, crust ratio a masterful blend....

5 Stars: Best pizza and service (by hmslice)

hmslice — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I am from suburbia, but was in the city last weekend and found my way to The Upper Crust on Charles. It was fabulous. The pizza was nice and hot while the toppings were plentiful. It was very busy, but the service was great and they do a great job of moving people in and out and make sure you get what you need. I cannot wait to visit all of their locations.

5 Stars: "second to none" (by kevinthepizzafanatic)

kevinthepizzafanatic — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

All i have to say is "roni" I am a traditionalist, I don't really like more than one topping on my pizza, so if I'm not grabbing a slice of roni for lunch and/or dinner, I get a small prosciutto and fresh basil well done. This pizza reminds me of Siena, except they use a pecorino cheese in Siena. The pie at Upper Crust is actually a little less salty than the pie in Siena. And if I'm not in the mood for pizza I will just grab a chicken greek salad. Either way, I love to sit at the communal table and and chat, i've even gotten a couple of phone numbers while sitting there. A lot of young single people hang there and it's a great place to sit and read in the afternoon. Anywho, if you haven't been, you're only cheating yourself and your mouth.

5 Stars: Better than NYC... (by beaconhillfoodie)

beaconhillfoodie — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I have eaten pizza across the world, spent many years in New York where I had many favorites but the Upper Crust in Beacon Hill has by far the best slice around. I was in the other day, late for a meeting and in a rush needing something tasty and quick. The featured slice of the day was sausage and basil, it was exactly what I was looking for, thin crust, fresh ingredients and a tasty sauce. The counter guy was quick and courteous, he had me on my way in 4 minutes with a hot slice of goodness. I have since been back almost every day and have been impressed with the unique slice combinations they offer. Big fan of Boston's best slice.

5 Stars: Most fantastic slice of pizza I've ever had (by tessie24)

tessie24 — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

My only complaint about The Upper Crust is that I didn't get a whole pie. I tried the slice of the day today and was absolutely amazed. It was a marriage of the perfect amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings on a scrumptious crispy crust. I have always been a firm believer that thick crust pizza was the only way to go, let me tell you: today the stubborn were converted. If you're looking for a fun place to grab a quick slice or indulge in an entire pie The Upper Crust is the place to be.

5 Stars: AMAZING BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA :) (by jlindra85)

jlindra85 — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I was always afraid to try the BBQ chicken pizza anywhere, but my boyfriend convinced me- and its my favorite now! Definitely a must try!

5 Stars: I Crave it (by rutkus2135)

rutkus2135 — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

The Upper Crust Pizza is by far one of my favorite pizzas. Although it can get very busy (mainly due to the fact that others agree with me) it is worth it. The staff is always nice and it has a nice little ambiance that other food places don't. I highly recommend the BBQ chicken pizza. I don?t know if I have ever had anything as satisfying when it comes to pizza.

5 Stars: Friendliest People in the Business (by beaconhillres)

beaconhillres — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I have loved the Upper Crust since day one - the pizza is consistently delicious - cheesy, crisp thin crust, slightly chewy, the best combinations - the one with eggplant and sundried tomatoes is my favorite! After all these years, it was my recent observation of excellence that prompted me to finally write a review.
I was on my way to work a couple of weeks ago and noticed a lot of activity inside the Charles Street location. I thought it was a little strange given the time in the morning, so I poked my head in the open door and saw a big group of young kids laughing, kneading dough, and intently watching the staff members make a pizza. During my next visit, I asked the manager about the group of kids. It turns out that the Upper Crust donates "pizza parties" to local schools. They open early and bring the kids in, letting them make their own pizzas, and hang out while the pizzas bake so they can eat them. I'm thrilled to be a regular patron of a pizzeria that gives to the community - especially to the kids!

5 Stars: Best Pizza around! (by beeeantown)

beeeantown — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

You can't say that you've had Delicious pizza until you've had pizza from The Upper Crust. I always heard that they had good pizza but when I went and tried it for myself I was obsessed!!. For all you pizza lovers out there I highly recommend you going to the Upper Crust you will be addicted.

5 Stars: AWESOME BABY!!! (by pizzaaaman)

pizzaaaman — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Stop looking, cause there is no better Pizza Place in Boston than The UpperCrust on Charles St. Friendly service, Picturesque location, Awesome Pizza..... What it lacks in space, it makes up in charm & character. Whether your stopping by for a slice, sittin down with some friends, taking a pie home or having them cater an event, there would be no other recommendation coming from this Pizzaaa Lover's mouth!

5 Stars: Best pizza and service (by mercury126)

mercury126 — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

The pizza is the best!!! Every time I go there, the pizza and the service are outstanding. The last time I was there, they had fresh squeezed lemonade outside the store which was great because it was extremely hot and it was very refreshing. I cannot wait until the next time I am in the area because I will definitely visit The Upper Crust.

4 Stars: Best Chain Pizza (by aladnsane)

aladnsane — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

This is really good pizza at a great price. Always a line, but it moves quickly. I personaly like this location the best.

5 Stars: Saucey Saucey (by yummyinthetummy)

yummyinthetummy — Thu, 31 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I'm not normally a fan of thin crust pizza. I prefer normal, new york style, greasey pizza. I've been skeptical about trying Upper Crust for that simple fact. I didn't realize what I had been missing these past few years! I went in and had a fantastic experience! The place was crowded, so I began to realize that someone knew something I obviously hadn't been clued in on. I had an amazing pie! I can't believe I didn't go there sooner! I highly recommend the Upper Crust to ANY pizzza lover. It made my mouth happy!

1 Stars: I waited over an hour for a (by antonellam)

antonellam — Sat, 19 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

"I went in there because I was starving and did not have much time and I thought that the entire process of ordering a "slice of the day" would have taken less than 10 minutes in a non-crowded pizzeria (off time) was I ever so wrong. I waited over AN HOUR for my 1 slice of pizza. When I received it it was cold and just gross but by then i was late to my appointment so t I ate it anyway.

The problem was: the guy who calls out the names of the people who ordered could not pronounce my name (even though it is one of the most common names in Italian and any real italian knows how to pronounce my name!) so he put my slice of pizza on the side and continues giving pizza to people who coming in after me. Finally after a good 60+ minutes I asked where my slice is and he said "oh yea here it is" and took it from the top of the ovens (not in the ovens, but outside next to the boxes) and gave me a cold slice of pizza. The cashier (the guy who wears a hat that belongs in dorcester and NOT beacon hill) and the pizza making guy who job was to call out names started laughing at my name! How pathetic is that. Instead of apologizing or offering me a free slice of pizza I got humiliated.

Next time I will frequent the THREE other pizza shops in beacon hill (one even being more prestigious than the upper crust, and all being friendlier) They are not the only "high end" pizza shop in boston or beacon hill so stop it with the attitude or else you will go bankrupt. everyone i talked to either hates or love your place but when I talk they will be a lot more haters than lovers. 1 angry native beacon hill socialite=a whole lot of lost customers."

2 Stars: Indeed not your average pizza (by botony)

botony — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Mediocre, thin crust, usually burnt, unusually tasteless. Waaay over-priced.Could never make it in NYC, would be out of business in a New York minute.

1 Stars: not great (by tanb)

tanb — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

The service was horrible. The pizza tasted old. Can't think of anything positive to say. Highly NOT recomended.

1 Stars: Cheap but decent (by me4533)

me4533 — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Sure it may not be the cleanest or best pizza store in boston or even beacon hil but if you want a semi-quick lunch of a slice or two of pizza the Upper Crust is the place to go.

HOWEVER when you a large group or just ordering an entire pie the service takes forever. The crust tastes like they freeze it till they use it instead of constantly making new dough.

Once agan you getting what you paying for. To the one who mention to take someone on a first date here do not expect to get a 2nd date. Its not much of a "date spot" since most of the seating area is more a communcal seating and if you have my luck you will be sitting next to a screaming baby.

1 Stars: bad service! (by pizzaexpertboston)

pizzaexpertboston — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I had to walk out of the Upper Crust due to the attitude I got from the cashier. This is not alain ducasse you are a little pizza shop that only been around for 5 years. they have to get their attitude problem fixed or else they would not make it in the restaurant world.

I agree with "fromboston" the upper crust is one pizza store that one would be better of not going to.
Rumors are that the upper crust employees come and here and write reviews. As all reviews I tend to ignore the positive and read only the negative because unless someone has a lot of time on their hand they won't write a positive review

1 Stars: Not Recomended (by mickeya)

mickeya — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I decided to try it even though it had gotten such horrible reviews and I personally do not like it. I also do not like the service. The staff talks and laughs at all the customers. Remember we are the customers that live in Beacon Hill, you are only a pizza boy.

5 Stars: BEST PIZZA IN BOSTON (by hungymamma)

hungymamma — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

CONTRARY TO 'FROMBOSTON'S' REVIEW (which i don't believe for a second, as i eat at the upper crust 2-3 times a week and find it very well maintained and clean), this is some of the best pizza i have ever tried. i also recommend the salads (great when i'm on a health kick!) with a little grilled chicken, but signature pizzas are what brings me back. My husband often orders delivery during football season and we find if you re-heat the leftovers, they are as good the next day!

****i would like to say, whoever wrote 'fromboston's' review ought to be ashamed of themself. your claim is unsubstantiated and reads very bitter and angry - i don't think anyone in their right mind would believe anything you write from this point on. this location has been open for about 5 years and your rude comments are the FIRST of their kind. Those kids work very hard at creating a great atmosphere to eat and you try to tear it down with that bs?! Grow up.

5 Stars: Simply the Best (by gmemphis)

gmemphis — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

The search is over! This is, by far, the best pizza I have found outside of Napoli (the origin of this type of pizza). My first taste of the crust and sauce (I was told to stop by for this specifically by a fellow pizza nut from Amsterdam) had me asking the employees for some to take back to Miami! The veggies were as fresh as I've ever had, and the creative specialty pizzas were a favorite of my wife (I stll say their margarita is the one to try if it is your first time - it is a 10!). The restaurant design was as cool as they come - great job! Now, OPEN IN MIAMI BEACH!! PLEASE!! Otherwise, start shipping those things down south!

5 Stars: Love at first bite (by pie_man)

pie_man — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

When i moved to Boston six years ago, my friend brought me to Beacon Hill and we went in to this cool little pizza place. The ceiling is like a wave of stainless steel, and the floor is like an extension of the table. They make the dough fresh every day and roll out your pie right in front of you. The service is good but they are very busy, so you got to talk fast. The slices are as big as a New York slice, but better than most New York pie i've had. The crust is thin and the cheese surprisingly light.
My favorite one is the Harvard St add italian sausage!!!
Anyways, you've got to go there, perfect first date spot too, not too expensive and very casual.

4 Stars: CLASSIC, TASTY PIZZA (by kelli11977)

kelli11977 — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

This pizza place is good. I had the Pepperoni and extra cheese. A simple choice but the Upper Crust does it so well so tasty and cheesy, just melts in your mouth. Yum, just the way I love it. Very good for the price you pay. The slices are big enough too.

4 Stars: Good pizza (by abirkens)

abirkens — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

There are not many places downtown to find a good slice of pizza. Go for their slice and salad combo for a complete meal!!! Their slices aren't comparable to New York but are good for the area and provide a ton of toppings for your picking

3 Stars: way over rated (by knowaboutfood)

knowaboutfood — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have eaten at the upper crust a few times. I don't understand all the hype. It is overpriced for the quality, and the people who work there aren't so pleasent. It is worth a try for the unique pies, but not more then once....
There is better pizza in boston in my opinion

4 Stars: looks like a copy of sweet tomatoes inc. in sandwich (by mechanic69)

mechanic69 — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 02:00:00 GMT

did you work in Newton? I think she said your the one who did. If you are thats fine. We don't mind here in Sandwich but make em round lol. Your pizza was never meant to deliver but if you have to, cook it half way, cut it in half, tell the person to pre heat to 500. 2 min it's done. Also if you are you owe me a beer and a perfect pizza if we get up that way lol. Gave you an 8 for the name I like it.

1 Stars: overated (by mikeheights)

mikeheights — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Soggy crust, and rude service. Just because a place is in Beacon Hill doesn't mean it has good food. Service was snobby.

4 Stars: Good pizza, okay service, bad delivery (by croll)

croll — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I love pizza. It's something of an unhealty obsession of mine but, on the positive side, I've had some truly amazing pies in my life. The Upper Crust is great pizza. Now, their pizza is done in a thin and crispy crust style. Occasionally, it's true, you'll get a dud and the crust will wind up soggy. Often this has to do with the ingredients (too much grease) or perhaps just slow or sloppy service. But the pizza, on average, really is quite good. You're going to be unhappy if you're in the mood for deep dish, and you may occassionally wind up with a pizza of mediocre quality but this is the exception rather than the rule.

What does seem to be the rule is decidedly below average customer service. There seems to be a mentality here that because their pizza is so great, you should just be thankful they're talking to you. The fact that you're trying to give them money is inconsequential. This has been the prevelant attitude whether ordering in store (Brookline location) or ordering over the phone. Indeed, it's worse over the phone. Delivery times regularly exceed an hour (1.5 hours isn't uncommon), and I recently called six times in one night to try to place an order -- no answer 4 times, and after instantly being placed on hold the other two times I was eventually disconnected (yes, this was a hang-up). An e-mail sent as a complaint went unanswered.

A lack of sides or different items may also count as a minus, but the pizza is the star. If you're willing to put up with a wait and service that barely acknowledges your existence (except for that $20 please), you will walk away with a great pizza. You may wonder, however, whether it's as great as all the hype.

1 Stars: Upper rated (by postulantbooty)

postulantbooty — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Upper crust is upper rated. I was excited to try their pizza after hearing so much about it. It was about as good as something from a 7th grade cooking class. What's up with the burnt, black, chalky soot on the bottom of the pizza? How come I don't get that burnt, bad taste from the inexpensive, local pizza joint around the corner from my house? Ick. I thought Upper Crust's pie was soggy in the middle, chewy, cheeseless, had a flimsy crust & an overall bland taste. Thank god someone else picked up the tab. I'll stick with my local mom & pop joint.

5 Stars: Unique in a good way (by bleddrewsoe)

bleddrewsoe — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT

When I first tried this pizza I was not overly impressed. But a few weeks later I found myself back there again and I wondered what was it that made me go back? It is the sauce....undoubted the FRESHEST I have tasted. I think that is what gives the pizza it's appeal....the whole thing seems like it is made from the freshest ingredients. So while I have had better "tasting" pizza, I still find myself coming here more frequently because the taste of this pizza is uniquely fresh which puts it over the top. I hope this makes sense....

5 Stars: The Best Pizza By Far! (by jstobins)

5 Stars: Amazing Pizza!!! (by pizzalover123)

pizzalover123 — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I recently moved to Boston from New York, and was certain that I had left real pizza behind at home..... that was until I found the Upper Crust!
Their crust is by far the best I have ever had - perfectly fresh and crispy! As for the toppings, the veggies were all fresh, and you can really taste the difference - it's nice to go in there and actually watch them putting fresh toppings on dough that was just rolled out in front of you!
Great idea, and amazing pizza!
Thanks Upper Crust for making me feel at home!!!!

Nothing beats Upper Crust for awesome pizza. Their sauce is to die for and the crust is thin and crispy! Every day they have a new "slice of the day."

As a low-carb vegetarian this is the best bet for pizza around! Thin, crispy crust with lots of outstanding options to top it off, this pizza is perfect for low-carb living! Thanks Upper Crust--you're just what we've been looking for!

dtnyc — Mon, 07 Jun 2004 02:00:00 GMT

this is, by far, the best pizza i have ever had. the dough was crisp, the viggies were fresh, and the environment was unique - to say the least. i will NEVER have another pizza again, and i live in nyc! great job, guys, keep it up!

4 Stars: great pies (by petes99)

petes99 — Tue, 09 Mar 2004 01:00:00 GMT

Pizza is as abundant as air in this city.. and all too often people are setting for flavorless, generic pizza. Upper Crust is one of the few pizzarias that breaks out of the canned sauce, chewy crust, cheap toppings, and poor cheese ranks which seem to rule the area. Their thin crust is delicious, especially if ordered well-done. Toppings are of the best quality, and their pie selection is very well thought out.

Once you eat pizza of this caliber, you'll never go back to Domino's.. and will be reluctant to even hit the local 'house of pizza' anymore.

I know that I've said it before, but everytime that I go in there, I can't believe how good their pizza is! The dough and toppings are fresh and the combinations are delicious. Without a doubt, the best pizza around!

5 Stars: UpperCrust (by tango3)

tango3 — Sun, 19 Oct 2003 02:00:00 GMT

The space is small but cozy with it modern feel. The pizza is incrediable and you watch them make it. One slice is more then enough and the pizza sizes are on the large side. A wonderful place to get pizza with a nice staff!!!!!

5 Stars: Are You Kidding? (by snibot)

snibot — Wed, 13 Aug 2003 02:00:00 GMT

This is, hands down, the best pizza I have ever had (and I've had some za!) I live in New York and have yet to find anything that compares. Is it safe to say that this pizza my, in fact, be healthy? The crust is thin (my girlfriend eats it and she hasn't had bread in years!), the veggies are fresh, and they don't over do the cheese. If you have the chance to sit-in, do so - the employees are a trip and they make the experience! (A friend told me Christy Brinkley was in a week or two ago!)

5 Stars: My New Favorite!! (by abaigeal)

abaigeal — Fri, 21 Mar 2003 01:00:00 GMT

A die-hard Newbury Pizza fan for several years since I moved into Back Bay (I'm still a fan!!), I must concede that Upper Crust is my new favorite! There is a sense of caring about the product, a friendliness (there was a certain day when Id had my purse stolen, and my temporary ATM didnt work like it was supposed to I was short almost a dollar in cash & they spotted me the money which I brought in the next day, of course!) that extends from counter help to the pizza-makers, & YES!! Even to the delivery-folk. I think Im smitten with the thin crust, the great sauce, and the herb-dusted pizzas. YUMM! I was reminded of how much I think of the Upper Crust as a great Neighbor as well as the best pizza in town.

Just opened on Harvard St., where Vici used to be. Amazing pizza. Real thin crust, all kinds of great topping. The plain cheese was mouth watering. Will DEFINITELY go back and recomend to others. Caesar salad was good too.

This is true gourmet pizza - I just wish they had a wine list to go with it, because pizza this good deserves a nice bottle of chianti to go with it.

The pizza here is great! I've been a fan of these guys since they opened. It took a little while, but they've got a bunch of new pizzas, and if you like BBQ chicken, try it here! Awesome sauce, great chicken. Hands down. Awesome.

The pizza alone at The Upper Crust makes it great, but it's also a good place to take a date in that it's aethetically pleasing with a post-modern look and feel. And you gotta love how they make the pizza dough in the middle of the restaurant so everyone can watch -- kind of like those sushi placs where you watch the chef!

Nice crust, great taste, nice decor...too bad its far from home

Great thin crust and fresh, delicious toppings. Its fast, and one of the best bargains in town! Plus, the funky decor is as good as the food.

This place produces an excellent, unpretentious pizza. Great crust, good tomatoes.

While passing by the resturant and looking through the front window to see pizza's being made, I knew I had to get a taste of the art work.

The extras on my pizza (I like olives, onions and mushrooms) were the freshest I had ever had. The marinara was straight out of Italy and the cheese was melted just the way I like it.

Really nice and crispy pizza, good tomato sauce. They also have some 'specials' in which they combine veggies and meat...just right!

The pizza is great -- perfect, thin crust; fresh ingredients; good olive oil but, best of all, the boys who work there are adorable.
