What People Are Saying About Pinocchio's Pizza & Subs

The Scene – Great minds of several generations have sought sustenance at Pinocchio's, or "the Noch," as local students dub this Harvard Square legend. Seating is tight at the plastic-topped tables arrayed around a support post, and traffic flow to place an order at the counter is always confused. But it's a high-energy, upbeat spot to munch a slice among the undergrads cramming Plato and Planck. – – The Food – Pizza dough is made fresh daily in the tiny kitchen. The regular crust is Abruzzi-perfect--neither the blackened cracker of "gourmet" houses nor the doughy blob…

Best pizza

by z_za

You must have a slice of their delicious Sicilian pizza!! It is fabulous and I haven't met one person who thinks otherwise. I'm not sure about any other food there. The pizza is a bit pricey, but it's Harvard square. Pinocchio's is sort of hidden from view, it's behind Berk's shoe store. I would recommend getting the pizza to go since the place is kind of small and gets really packed by 12pm.

So-so pizza and way too many college kids

by dennyvibes

Pinocchio's does not impress me. Not because their pizza tastes bad, but because it does nothing to be really delicious. Harvard Square employees and college kids swear by it as a cheap-eats location, but the pizza doesn't stand out. Try Crazy Dough's Pizza in the Garage instead.

  • Pros: Cheap
  • Cons: Tiny dining area
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Responsible for feeding Harvard Students for years.

by redelephant

For the three years I lived in Harvard Square, I probably went here over 150 times solely for their sicilian pizza. From plain old cheese and pepperoni to tasty zucchini or tomatos and basil, I could eat their pizza 7 days a week. I don't care for the steak and cheese sandwiches, but others order them about as religiously as I order the pizza. And since 2 sicilian slices cost about $4, it's a cheap way to eat wonderfully.

  • Pros: Sicilian Pizza, cheap
  • Cons: cold, drafty seating in the winter

The Details on Pinocchio's Pizza & Subs

Parking:

The parking spaces across narrow Winthrop are inviting and usually empty, but they're private and you'll probably get towed before you get away with a pie. Best parking on a busy evening is the garage on Eliot Street ($3 for the first half hour).
