The Scene
This laid-back, upscale pizza joint attracts a diverse, young clientele. By day, area students indulge in a slice while taking study breaks, while evening brings visitors from the nearby cinema stopping for a post-film snack. Patrons familiar with the original Beacon Hill location will enjoy the same speedy counter service at this offshoot, but will notice a slightly expanded menu and individual tables in contrast to the original's communal eating spaces.
The Food
Creative diners mix and match from an endless variety of gourmet toppings (arugula, baby clams, Canadian bacon), and the menu suggests several tantalizing combinations. The flavorful "white spinach" (spinach, garlic, mozzarella and feta with no tomato sauce) and the carnivore-friendly "state house" (hamburger, pepperoni and spicy Italian sausage) are both highlights. Gooey calzones and fresh Greek and Caesar salads round out the offerings.

Going to Upper Crust can be a great pizza experience, but sometimes it's also a disappointment. The slices at times are large with a generous amount of excellent sauce and great cheese. But sometimes you get a slice that's a bit small with not enough topping on it. The thin crust is always good. The slices are a bit on the pricey side so when they skimp on the sauce and cheese it hurts. But when their slices get it right, they are really good.

This is the best pizza in Boston as far as I'm concerned. They deliver, have great toppings, etc., but the best part here is the crust. Thin, crispy, and irregular edges that really taste great! I have an account with them since I like them so much, though I don't like the 15% tip they add on to deliveries on account. Who tips a pizza delivery guy 15%?

Excellent pizza, I really love their basic basil, mozz and tomato! They have a number of locations so it's always easy to find one when in need.
