Penguin Pizza

Delicious pizza and beer

by hsp11 at Citysearch

All of the pizzas I have tried here have been delicious and the beer selection is one of the best in Boston. The pizza is so good I had an eating contest with a friend and ate seven slices. I definitely recommend Penguin, but you should use public transportation so you can avoid having to park.

• Pros: Great pizza, huge beer selection
• Cons: Fairly small, parking can be difficult

i have eaten a lot of pizza and drank a lot of beer in my day, and after stopping by the penguin on saturday night, i can't imagine finding a better spot to do either, especially in mission hill. service was great; the bartender was quick to check if i needed anything at all the right times. friendly but not intrusive, which is an important distinction in a place like this. pizza was great, huge slices, great tap selection. i'll definitely be back next saturday!

• Pros: good service, beer selection
• Cons: could use a dart board

Great food but look out for bartender on Tuesday night.

This is not my first review. I eat out quite regulary. I love eating out.

First the food: The raviolli with sausage was excellent...Spicy/hot but very tasteful. My friend ordered pizza slices which I tried. They are HUGE. I found them to be tasteful also. Overall I enjoyed the food and "our server".

The atmosphere from what I could gather was nice but there may be something I'm not aware of...please read below. It was very strange.

After we ordered our appetizer and had our drinks "the bartender" and not our server came and stood over me and wouldn't leave until I ordered my main meal. I found this strange. He wouldn't leave our table. I mean, he wasn't even our server than he practically forces me to order my food.....LOL....I was so taken aback I just chose anything...I have never been treated that way before and I go out a lot. We were at our table for only 10 minutes also...We had barely sat down....Also it was 6:00pm so they weren't closing. Question: Why did the bartender feel that he had to come over and make sure that I put my order in immediately...LOL...Talk about weird...I will go back there again for the food but if that happens again he is going to see my other side also if I see him I'm going to bring it up. Very strange.

• Pros: Great food, great prices...
• Cons: Bartender on Tuesday night was very odd....
