Armando's Pizza

This is one of those rare gems you find tucked away in a little neighborhood a little off the beaten path but right next to the bus stop. This family owned restaurant has been around for 51 years! Armando passed the place down to his daughter and you will often find her son Mike (see photo) behind the counter making the pizzas and subs. If you dine in you might be surprised at how many people he knows on a first name basis. But unlike so many local places you will feel like family even if you are from out of town or even out of state! We had the Sicilian pizza and it was a perfect balance between thick crust and yet still had that crispy crust. The chicken parmesan sandwich was also a hit providing not just dinner but lunch the next day because it was so big! We also had the classic Italian sub, antipasto, and the pasta fagioli soup. Go prepared they only take cash but they do have an ATM machine on-site if you forget.

Cambridge has great Pizza and this is one of my two favorite places. Not only does it have a local-and-loved feel to it, they are legitimately involved in the community. The pizza is excellent (especially the crust) and service is quick. Came here on a Sunday and had to get an extra slice, as everyone from the neighborhood came through the door to pick up their pies. Bring cash!

Cash-only standby of the best sort of cheap pizza with a case for can/bottle sodas. Expect vinyl tables, framed newspaper articles and sports trophies, and lots of regulars coming to pick up pizzas to go. Not much ambiance but that’s not what it’s selling. The right kind of chew and just enough crunch in the crust.

Absolutely fabulous- came to BOS for a week for work; stopped by Armando's last night because of high rating. The guys went above and beyond expectation. I ordered a little less crispy; it was perfect. Sauce is straight out of Italy. Exceptional service. Can't wait to come back and support this place more!!! Thank you!!!
