This place started out as a take-out joint in North Cambridge without even any place to sit, which became immensely popular. Eventually, they had to expand because the demand was so great. Now they're located near MIT/Kendall Square and just as good as they ever were. Cozy little spot with low lighting, very busy at times. The rosemary sauce for their pizza is unique and is kind of what got them such a good following in the first place. Crispy crust and a huge selection of toppings. The rest of the menu is just as tasty, but pizza is what they're really about. The staff is very friendly, and is great about keeping you posted on when your table will be ready. Drinks are available while you wait, including a good selection of wine by the glass. Customers are required to turn off all cell phones.
