DaCoopas Pizza

We order pizza and sandwiches from Dacoopas all the time. The food is great and I would reccomend it to anyone!

Pros: salads, pizza, sandwiches, steak and cheese

Posted 11/09/09

I have to say I am pretty new at ordering take out in east boston with my new job but I have to say dacoopas has the most professional employees and the by far the fastest delivery service from what i have experienced in the short time i have been ordering from places all around the city. The cheeseburger subs are to die for and the chicken finger subs rock. I havent tried the pizza nor calzones yet but I bet if the subs are great then the pizza must be right up there. Whenever my colleagues ask around about who to order from I always tell them Dacoopas. I have to give this place an A+.

Pros: Punctual & accurate

Cons: Cant think of any at the moment

I have been eating there for 7 years now...Love the Pizza wouldn't get it from anywhere else when I am working.But my favorites are the chicken finger sub and the cheese burger dinner.. tastey as hell and very filling..I can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal there...oh yeah and the guys that work there take care of there customers.

Pros: Best pizza around

Posted 05/12/09

Just ate their today for the first time. The manager Scott asked to if I mind waiting a couple of minutes for a couple of just out of the oven slices. The pizza was well worth the wait. Scott and the guys behind the counter were super C@@L.. The sauce was the topper, it must be homemade...Thanks guys for the company and the great food...

Pros: Outstanding Pizza

Cons: limited seatingl

Horriblew food. I had a slice of pizza it was basically just a can of tomato juice and raw bread....no taste whatsoever. They make Dominos seem #1. Besides the horrible service the delievery driver had a horrible stench of grass. Whats up with that? During working hours.

Pros: If there were any

Cons: Everything

The food and atmosphere has been great for all the years I have been going there but when I picked up my usual steak sub on Saturday night (3-21) The environment was totally unacceptable and unprofessional. I placed my usual order and while i was in there it was nothing but chaos (yelling and screaming) and I felt very uncomfortable. There was a balding guy working and a younger guy and while I was waiting for my sub the younger of the 2 was standing at the door with the door wide open having a smoke and when i asked if he can close the door because it was really cold his reaction was "its hot in here". When I finally got my sub I took 2 bites out of it and threw it away. I hate to do this but for a long time customer this shop has lost my business. There needs to be some serious improvement (especially on saturday nights) where it can be a professional business as it has been for the last 25 plus years.

Pros: Long running business

Cons: help seriously needs improvement

Posted 03/23/09

Salads are fresh, Pizza is cooked up to order and subs are fresh and tasty. The restaurant is very clean and modern. If you are a person who likes to chew and screw this is the place to go. If you are in a hurry though i'd recommend somplace elsewhere. Hardly ever there are slices where its always a 10 minute wait (but they are fresh and tasty if you have the time to wait) Other times the staff can be unattentive or on their cell phones not acknowledging there are customers waiting but besides that I can say the portions are reasonable and the pizza is tasty (especially the margarita).

Pros: Good Food

Cons: Slow service

Posted 03/08/09

I have to agree with the users beloe.. The Pizza is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the drivers are very prompt, For a place thats just a corner store I have to give a good rating. The calzones are out of this world

Pros: good food

Cons: wish they were open later

Posted 12/30/08

I just want to say I agree with Nelson Brewster. I got food delivered Friday night also and the driver was very handsome.

Posted 12/28/08

I have been in the restauraunt business for 25 years and have frequented Dacoopas for over 2 decades since the prior owners and have always been served quality food and treated with respect which is hard to find nowadays in the food industry. To see a comment about being short changed, I personally feel that it is a load of bologna. First of all if I were to be short changed I would call the place back immediately to let them know there was a miscommunication in the adding due to errors that can be made on really busy days/nights and get the persons name that i spoke to. Second of all of the phone calls are monitered for quality assurance and all the information including the orders and addresses are stored on the computer systems. For a place that has been in business since 1969 and seeing the same employees working there for over a decade I kind of find it hard to believe that people would still be working there if they were "ripping people off". Third.. with the economy the way it is there are always people trying to flim flam to try to get something for free. Personally my experiences at dacoopas for over 2 decades has been very prompt, the food is always fresh and served to order and it is always the same friendly staff who treat you not only as a guest but as a VIP. Can't let people leaving "Bogus" reviews ruin the image of a place who has not only been in business for over 40 years but was also voted best pizza 2 years in a row. Sorry to babble but I am just stating a strong opinion. Keep up the great work and the great food =)

Pros: great food and friendly atmosphere

Cons: parking

Posted 12/28/08

..............we at dacoopas have no recognition of your complaint that night.............and if my driver had miscalculated the change we would return it ..........my friday night driver has been at dacoopas .for over 10 years.......and works for a very reputable company as well during the day.................

Pros: honest buisness owners ..............

Posted 12/27/08

I got a food order from Dacoopas delivered last night ,12/26, and was very shocked. I do not have any complaints about the food but do have a complaint about the delivery driver. When my food order had arrived I heard the knock on the door and sent my son, who is 12 by the way, to answer the door because I do not get around very well. My order total was only about $9 and I had given my son $20 and told him how much of a tip to give the driver. I had heard the driver say thank you and when my son came back there was NO CHANGE! I had asked my son how much the driver gave him back and he said nothing. I could not believe that the driver would take advantage of a youngster and assume he was getting a tip that substantial. I had called the store to complain and they told me that they would talk to the driver about the situation. I have not heard back from the driver so I assume he knows what he did. Dacoopas has a great reputation but it is a shame they have such a shady delivery driver.

Pros: Good pizza

Cons: Delivery

Posted 12/26/08

Pizza is great same ingredients for over 20 yrs and like the old menu used to say "piping hot delicious pizzas" but the subs have gone downhill (especially the cold ones) kinda reminds me of SUBWAY subs paper thin cold cuts and it feels like a bread sandwich. I dont mean to knock but the veal subs also went downhill (well very downhill) considering now using veal patties and charging for real veal. But to make a long story short the pizzas are very pricey buy hey i guess you get what you pay for but the subs need a lil more filling but thats my opinion but just a suggestion.

Posted 12/24/08

number 1 ....the pizza sauce doesnt need to be seasoned becuase they dont buy @##$ products that need to have the flavor of the tomato suace masked to hide the poor quality product......number 2... its not corn starch .........its corn meal.....number 3......prices that go up usually stay up ........look at your local movie theater,supermarket ...etc......etc etc............number 4......every company that is in business is there to make money .......not to just break even and pay the bills.............that is why those people in there work so many hours..................SO GO GET A JOB...........NOTHING COMES WITHOUT EFFORT............from a loyal customer sticking up for those guys..........Bruce Miller...................

Posted 12/16/08

I really don't think they deserve the "best". Pizza sauce is not seasoned at all. They put so much corn starch on the dough that it makes it seem thats all your eating. They are sure quick to raise those prices because of the "gas" inflation....but gas gone down but there prices haven't. It seems they care more about the business part than actually improving on their specialties

Posted 12/16/08

I have to say nothing on the menu has changed and almost none of the staff has changed. When it comes down to whether its Scott, Rick, Joe, Mark, or Steve the service is great and has been for the last 15 yrs. I just moved back after being away on business for 10 years and it feels like i never left and I have to say Dacoopas has a dedicated and loyal staff and are always prompt and attentive. I guess I know why it has won best pizza of Boston for the last 2 yrs in a row and have a feeling it will stay reigning champ. Anyways the thing that would make the business perfect is if slices were prepared when you walk in. The last few times i had to wait 5 to 10 minutes for slices but they were fresh so its almost worth the wait. Keep up the great work and the great food.

Posted 11/10/08

i had pizza the other night and a got dilvery driver he was on time .and was very polite and on time and i tell all my friends to oder from ther

Posted 11/04/08

I have been a loyal customer since the early 80's before the business turned over and have always been a fan of the pizza which hasnt changed at all in the last 25 years. With that being the case I come in usually twice to 3 times a week either after a long day of work or after my kids hockey games. My only complaint is that it can be a very uncomfortable atmosphere at times for instance which maybe a coincidece but the last 2 times i came in for a steak sub and cheese slices for the kids which took 10 minutes because there were no slices available so as we were waiting I couldnt help but overhear the "F" bomb dropped at least 3 to 5 times by the help behind the counter and the talk of getting high on specific substances. In my opinion I feel that is very unprofessional and not good for a kid to hear because they tend to repeat what they hear. The second time I come in there was nobody behing the counter and after approximately 3 minutes I finally was acknowledged and it looked like a cloud of cigarette smoke in the back which i thought in the back of the shop and as I was waiting I witnessed the "F" bomb dropped again as the help slammed the phone down. Just wanted to pass by the way business is conducted needs some improvement in order to stay successful as it has for the past 30 so on years and for those with kids I'd recommend leaving them in the car..

Pros: The food has been great throughout the decades

Cons: no recommended if you have kids

Posted 10/10/08

I had got a food order from Dacoopas delivered last Friday night. The problem I had with the order was the unusually slow delivery time. I had expressed my concern to the driver ,who I think had said his name was Mark ,but I'm not positive. He apologized very politely and told me that he was doing the best he could, and also that he keeps asking his boss to hire another driver to help him on Friday nights. I too think this would be a great idea for Dacoopas. The food was excellent but the wait for delivery was just too much. Please give your driver the help he needs. Thanks from a good customer.

Pros: Great tasting food

Cons: Time for delivery

Posted 10/08/08

The pizza is great and the staff is really friendly but i recommend pick up during the lunch rush... unless you want a cold pizza delivered by an ignorant hispanic with an attitude. Otherwise this place has my vote for best pizza in boston.. And this is coming from a north end girl.. =D

Pros: great pizza italian style

Cons: delivery is too slow during lunch hour

Posted 09/08/08

ITS THE MOST AWESOMEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD! THE ONLY PIZZA I EAT IS AT DACOOPA'S IF THEY EVER CLOSE DOWN IDK WAT I WOULD DO!!!!!!!!

Pros: THUMBS SUPERRRRRRRR UP!!! IN PIZZA AND EVERYTHING! SERVICE!

Cons: THE BESTTTT PIZZA IN BOSTON!

Posted 08/28/08

DaCoopa's is the best and lays waste to the other places (in Eastie and otherwise. The best service, the best food - all around, the best!

Posted 08/21/08

I am new to this so bear with me but I have to write because at my age it is hard to get around or even cook on that matter so when Friday rolls around and I have the Grandkids over I usually order them pizza and french fries delivered to the house but with the weather being so hot and muggy lately i really dont want to cook anything for myself so along with their food I ordered the antipasto salad for the first time and had to say WOW it was magnificent. The last time I had an antipasto that good was when Morellis was at 84 Bennington st. which now is a distant memory. With a salad that big I have to remember to order extra dressing with it plus it always arrives very fast along with very friendy service. Dacoopas has my business for the long run.

Pros: Excellent antipasto along with fast and friendly service

Cons: the salads should come with 2 dressing

Posted 07/26/08

All I have to say is the meat lovers pizza is the best around. I also love the toasted raviolis especially when they are cooked right and not overcooked and I am kinda bummed with the roast beef being discontinued. Been a great experience grabbing a nice decent meal but the only issue I have is parking and on 2 occasions a meter maid wrote me out parking tickets. 1 for double parking and another for being on a crosswalk. Otherwise I'll get it delivered to my work but the only issue on that is it takes forever for the guy to get there so it is kind of a catch 22. Either pick it up and maybe face getting a parking ticket or get it delivered and wait over an hour to a rude guy who can barely speak english. But I have to give this place mezza mezza and the staff needs to be more attentive. Otherwise dont discontinue the meat meat lovers pizza.

Pros: Best meat lovers pizza around

Cons: hard to find a legit parking spot

Posted 07/11/08

I will agree that Dacoopas does have very tasty food. I also have to agree though that the delivery can be very slow at times. I have had a problem specifically on Friday nights. Last week my son and I waited over an hour for two greek salads and some soda. I realize that Friday can be a busy time, but something like this could cause a customer like myself to go elsewhere. I do see the same driver, in a white car, on Friday nights so he could be the only one working and a second driver to help him would probably improve deliveries and business greatly. Just a suggestion. Other than that keep up the good work guys.

Pros: Delicious salads

Cons: Friday night delivery

Posted 07/09/08

I have to say the Chicken Parm calzones make Fridays a really good day to look forward to. I have to disagree with the other users on this topic because when I get it delivered the driver is very polite and usually very prompt. I would also recommend the wrap with the grilled chicken with the weird name to it. I just moved here beginning of June and have not been disappointed yet. Keep up the great work.

Pros: Hot and Tasty Food

Cons: wish they were open later -- especially on weekends

Posted 06/18/08

I have to agree with the user below... Deliveries are really slow (especially during the week). The chicken Kabobs salads and steak bombs are out of this world. I give the thumbs up to the food and a thumbs down to the promptness of the deliveries but thats why there is pick up.

Pros: Great Salads (always fresh)

Cons: Pain to find parking and delivery service needs improvement

Posted 05/22/08

I have been calling for delivery for 7 yrs since i moved to east boston and was introduced to this place by a friend and fell in love with the steak & cheese but lately the delivery sevice is horrible. I am not sure if the place got sold or what not but the last few times I got delivery it was over an hour and I assumed it was busy but the second time almost 90 minutes. If anyone calls here for an order I'd advise it to be a pick up because delivery service is extremely slow and the driver is rude. But on a positive note the steak and cheese rocks.

Pros: The steak and cheese rocks

Cons: Deliveries take too long and the food is ice cold

Posted 04/26/08

I have been going to Dacoopa's ever since the original owners started out, Jimmy & Bobby. I met a very nice girl in there one Friday night and ended up marrying her. The pizza and the subs were great then and still are. I go there at least once a week from Peabody, wouldn't miss out on a Dacoopa's pizza and steak bomb for nobody. Keep up the good work people and I hope you stay in business for a 100 years. THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The service is friendly and quick, the food is very tasty, salads are great also and the dressing is very tasty. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM can't wait for Friday nights.

Posted 01/23/08

I hate to write this but I have been a loyal customer for over 10 yrs coming in with my son and I have to say the pizza prices have gotten way too high and with my income it is kind of out of my ball park range. The place is reputable for being in business for over 30 yrs but has lost my business.

Pros: Food is fresh and served to order

Cons: extremely high prices and very hard to find a place to park

Posted 11/04/07

This is the best pizza in the city, hands down. Im not going to lie, I was upper crust all the way untill I had Dacoopa's. I dont live anywhere near east boston but I make the 30 minute ride at least once a week. I eat a few slices at the counter and take the rest home. The pizza is unbelievably good. Santarpios has nothing on Dacoopa's pizza. If you love pizza you have to try this place. Best pizza ever.

Pros: Best pizza ever

Cons: not in brighton

Posted 10/14/07

Dacoopas has been making overcooked and under sauced pizza for years. Their subs are good but the pizza isn't even the best on Saratoga Street, let alone the whole city, Sorry guys. I still love the steak bomb,

Pros: Good subs

Cons: Tasteless pizza

Posted 08/08/07

Dacoopas pizza is decent. Their subs do leave something to be desired. Often skimpy on meat, and the large is a medium at most sub shops. The store is in a good location for pickup, but if you want delivery then you will have to wait quite a while. The few times that I have had their food delivered it has been slow to say the least. The staff is friendly but the prices can be somewhat high for a sub shop. I like the salads and the dressing is always good. Dacoopas is ok food but nothing to get excited about.

Pros: Pizza is decent

Cons: Prices and slow delivery

Posted 08/01/07

I agree with the other reviewer. Dacoopas does have bland tasting pizza. The service is good but I do agree also that the prices are high for the qualty of food. Their salads however are decent but they rarely give you enough dressing and only one piece of bread. I have to say that this is not my favorite sub shop.

Pros: Good service

Cons: Prices and food quality

Posted 07/29/07

Dacoops is just ok food. The pizza is frequently under cooked, and the salads often have dried out lettuce. I have tried many things on their menu and have been dissapointed quite a few times. The store is in a good location but the staff is often unattentive and rather slow on orders. Their food is on the pricey side for takeout, and the delivery charge is too much because the driver still expects a tip along with it. Free delivery would be a nice touch. Overall if you are desperate for pizza and subs go here, but if you have some extra time, there are a lot of other places much better in East Boston.

Pros: Good location and hours

Cons: Price, delivery charge, food quality

Posted 07/25/07

Pizza is dry and overcooked. Subs are skimpy on meat. Staff is rude if you have a complaint. Delivery is very slow, especially at night. I would rather have Elios pizza because at least their sauce doesn't taste bland. I have only tried Dacoopas a few times and have had an awful experience. They also keep raising their prices too frequently. The store is very dirty looking. I would highly reccomend against eating here.

Pros: They have plenty of napkins

Cons: The food , the delivery service, and the prices

Posted 07/24/07

wawwwwo you guys are the best thank you for your customer service and thank you sotto and ufc guy i don`t know his name thank you kazari

Posted 07/14/07

The best pizza on town i go most of the time to Dacoopas for the pizza and and the chicken sanwich and i will like to try the big burger ...

Pros: Service, Food, People, Environment

Cons: NONE

Posted 07/12/07

dont tell the sox, but dacoopas has the best "new york style" pizza in all o' beantown. If you live in east boston and haven't made it to day square yet to try some, then you should be deported. And if you DONT live in east boston, and dont feel like moving there, then take a day trip! go out to one of the beaches, the indoor pool, or just walk around aimlessly listening to the sound of planes land. BUT EAT DACOOPAS. you wont regret it, what pizza SHOULD taste like.alos, their steak and cheese sandwhiches are to die for, and put philly to shame.
Joffe

Pros: great staff, great eats

Cons: can get crowded on friday nights and weekends

Posted 07/12/07

The best chicken ceasar salad around. Great pizza, plenty of parking and friendly environment. Worth the trip.
