Underrated, good pizza, great ice cream!
Unfortunately, as evidenced in a brownie sundae with malt ice cream which we had recently, the only --- but significant --- flaw was the "hot fudge sauce," which Rick Katz refuses to make authentically thick and only mildly sweet but instead makes a hot chocolate syrup which is too sweet and cloying.
A later visit for chocolate and hazelnut ice creams found them cloying, probably from the sugars used.
Great pizzas to share, and you can't hate on ice cream for dessert! Small restaurant, so be prepared to wait a while at the bar for a seat.
Favorite. Restaurant. In. Boston. They specialize in pizza, beer, and ice cream....what is not to love?! Phenomenal patio, great beer and wine menu that is constantly changing, and delicious rustic pizzas, pastas, and calzones. The music, food, decor, and staff are all charmingly vintage yet modern. Most of the staff members I'd like to ask to sit down and have a beer with me!
Ice cream not great - better to get a quart of Brigham's at Stop & Shop! Got my order wrong both times I went!
One of the cheaper, sit-down options in the south end, BCA area. Pizza is excellent, though I didn't love the meatballs. Very cute environment and convenient if you're going to a show.
