Editorial Review for The Upper Crust
Charles Street's finest pizza shop churns out fresh specialty pies and light salads.
With its limited seating area--there's a 10-seat communal table and a few wall-mounted shelves--the Beacon Hill Upper Crust location lends itself to carry-out or free delivery service. Creative diners mix and match from an endless variety of gourmet toppings (arugula, baby clams, Canadian bacon), and the menu suggests several tantalizing combinations. The flavorful "white spinach" (spinach, garlic, mozzarella and feta with no tomato sauce) and the carnivore-friendly "state house" (hamburger, pepperoni and spicy Italian sausage) varieties both prove popular. Gooey calzones and fresh Greek and Caesar salads round out the offerings.

- They have gotten our order WRONG three times!
- We have ordered from Upper Crust a handful of times. Three times, out of say, six, they have gotten our order wrong. Tonight was one of those times! I called them and the employee who picked up said "Sorry- we mess up a lot these days." He offered to credit my account- for the third time. Needless to say, we will not be returning. It was a SIMPLE order, and it shocks me that the business doesn't care enough to listen to their customers! (alib000, 08/09/2009)

- Slices of Heaven
- UC is the place for a great slice -- their daily selections are creative and YUM! The crust is crispy, the specialty toppings are tasty (!) and their rustic tomato sauce is to die for. Grab a slice and head across Beacon Street for a lunch in the Public Garden for a quick lunchtime escape! (Dioriste, 02/13/2009)

- Pizza very average, service poor by Mark B. at InsiderPages
- Read the reviews on this page, and new to the neighborhood, trotted off to The Upper Crust with a watering mouth. Then waited almost an hour for my pizza. So much for freshly made.... they forgot I was there and said they'd shouted my name repeatedly, but it was my fault as I kept ignoring them. OK, mistakes happen, but I was stood right next to the guy doing the calling the whole time, They could have made amends with a friendly apology - instead, I was left with soggy pizza and a bad impression.

- Yum!
- Great pizza! This place deserves all 5 starts. I found the pizza to be superb. Fantastic! The options are many, the service is quick and friendly. The pizza tastes fresh because it is. Great. (wewillsee, 08/06/2008)

- Hold off on Tremont St. Location
- Usually go to the Charles Street location and very happy. Tremont Street location just opened- may want to give some time before visiting. Service is beyond bad. Waited over 25 minutes for a slice of plain, then looked at me as if I was the crazy one for complaining. Go to the UCP website and notice there's no way to contact them, probaly for a reason (pepperoni, 04/15/2008)

- please come to the beach!
- i was in town for the weeknd with my wife, and we were craving some real, genuine pizza.. tghe concierge at our hotel recommended the upper crust, and were we glad he did! this pizza is what pizza is supposed to be - the dough was fresh, the veggies were crisp, and the sauce was good enough to eat with a spoon.. i guess there are a few other locations (we were told by some other local customers), but i can't image any have the same funky atmosphere. Good work, guys! Open down south... (nedownsouth, 03/24/2008)

- Best pizza and service
- I am from suburbia, but was in the city last weekend and found my way to The Upper Crust on Charles. It was fabulous. The pizza was nice and hot while the toppings were plentiful. It was very busy, but the service was great and they do a great job of moving people in and out and make sure you get what you need. I cannot wait to visit all of their locations.
