The Scene – With two entrances and two separate counters for ordering, one's first impression of Hi-Fi is a bit confusing, even to MIT brainiacs stopping in for a cheap lunch. Locals know that pizza and calzone orders are taken at the right-hand counter, appetizers and subs on the left. The two bricked-in dining rooms are adorned with odd vineyard-like scenes, and boast seating reminiscent of your neighborhood Denny's.

I ask, "can you call the delivery man to verify?" Sure - wait a minute. "Sorry sir, we don't have an order from you."
I through their menu away at this point, but last night I called to place a desperate order, 25 minutes before they closed (right before 3). Did Hi Fi redeem themselves? Of course not. Their delivery guy was gone.
- Pros: Good menu
- Cons: Bad service
The Details on Hi-Fi Pizza
The Extras:
Unexpectedly, Hi-Fi serves beer on tap. Enjoy a cold Magic Hat No. 9 served in decidedly collegiate plastic cups.
Know Before You Go:
Hi-Fi is just across the street from popular live-music venue the Middle East, so expect a crowd whenever a big-name headliner is performing. Lines form swiftly and service is cut off abruptly at closing time--2am.
