Cambridge's original yuppie pizza has a charming home in the heart of dot-com country.. 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.

Best Pizza!. 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.

best thin crust pizza. 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.

THE BEST!!. Emma's has the best bang for your buck if you want to a nice dinner with friends... the five of us shared the Spring Fling salad (SO tasty!), three different pizzas, and a bottle of wine. The food was excellent and the service above average even though we probably stayed a little longer than we should've (although it was near closing and no one needed our table). The tables are a little cramped, I don't think they take reservations, and parking can be tricky but the worse thing is that they aren't open for lunch on weekends! Emma's - please don't deprive us of your delicious food on a Saturday afternoon any longer!

This place is amazing!. I love the pizza here! It is quite different from any other pizza I have had. Emma's pizza is super thin with a cracker-like crust. They have an incredible menu, with quite original pizza toppings. My favorite is the #7 which has pepperoni and hot cherry pepper relish. Their buffalo chicken pizza is made with spicy chicken, gorgonzola and mozzarella cheeses, and is topped off with sliced raw celery. My wife loves the #3 which comes with spinach, sweet potato, caramelized onions, garlic, mozzarella and goat cheese.

In addition to the delicious pizza, they have the most incredible tuna sandwich I have ever had! Did I mention they serve beer and wine?

Emma's has been around for quite some time, but it changed hands a couple of years ago, and the new owner has brought new life to the place. It is very welcoming, and always has great music playing.
