Editorial Review for Emma's Pizza – by Eric Grossman

In Short
Locals fill Emma's 40 brightly-painted wooden chairs to nosh on some of the area's most inventive pies (those on the go visit the front window for slices and salads). Thin-crust pizzas with a choice of traditional or spicy rosemary tomato sauce are refreshingly flavorful, while the topping selection combines both the traditional (pepperoni, mushrooms) and offbeat (sweet potatoes, dried cranberries). Large, fresh salads and pressed sandwiches round out the menu.

When to Go

After 11:55, the wait for anything but slices and salads can be long. For a sit-down meal, arrive closer to opening time.

Parking

Combine dinner with a flick at Kendall Square, and enjoy the cinema's discounted parking ($2.50 for four hours).

It's worth the wait when its busy. We had a drink while waiting for a table. Order a half and half pizza to try different toppings. Great food, romantic, a perfect night out.

Pros: Very good pizza, beer, wine and sangria.

Cons: I ate too much.

originally from italy, the challenge I face is finding a place that makes pizza the way it is back 'home'. Emma's is the only place in my experience so far in Boston that has found just the right balance for pizza. A classic cheese pizza tastes like it should and their 'fancy' pizza is never a let down.
