General: This is considered to be the best pizza is boston. On a summer day, you can find many people sitting on the steps eating large slices of the day’s pizza. Locations are all over. go to http://www.theuppercrustpizzeria.com to find more.

She Said: This place is small, but the pizza is large! In 2007 and 2008, the UpperCrust was considered Boston’s Best Pizza by the Improper Bostonian. The pizza is very good. I enjoy the thin crust and the availability to get Whole Wheat Pizza and all sorts of toppings in order to create your own. The spinach square aren’t anything good. So, do not waste money on these tiny bites.

He Said: I like all the toppings you can have here, It makes the pizza interesting, also the pick of the day is usually good, last night was pine apple, jalapeño, and bacon, not bad at all. They have beer and wine on the restaurant, which is perfect if you are in a rush and want to grab a pretty decent pizza, fat food but quality. They offer 3 types of salads, I usually go for the Greek salad. Go here if you are walking down the street and you are hungry, have a beer or wine and a slice

General: Scoozi! The best place on earth. International, young and fun crowd. Good food, good Sangria, good friends. Located: 237 Newbury St.

She Said Update: Not much new to say about this place. I’m here all the time. I’d say almost once a week! I took my mum here as well. Unfortunately we had to sit inside, but none the less it was still fun. She even liked the Sangria and normally she doesn’t. The pizza was yummy :) we had the veggie one.

He Said Update: There is always a summer song, a summer outfit, and a summer place for food an drinks, this was the place to be for the summer. One more thing I love the Tuna Putanesca panini. yeah!

General:

International, young crowd with the best sangria in Back Bay. Located on the corner of Newbury St. and Fairfield. (237 Newbury St.)[googleMap name="Scoozi"]237 Newbury St. Boston MA[/googleMap]

She Said:

I’ve been to this little restaurant a few times with a few different friends. The food is wonderful, the hostess’ are excellent and the atmosphere is always energetic. The best thing about Scoozi’s is their sangria. The added cut up fruit is one of my favorite parts and I’m always struggling to get the last of it! The inside is pretty small, only about 5 tables, but the outside patio is awesome. There is nothing better when the sun is shining than a pitcher of sangria, a salad and people watching with friends.

 

PROS: Sangria and pizza is great to share, outside patio, cheap and fun place!

CONS: inside seating is very small, always busy during lunch.

He said:

This place has a certain “je ne sais quoi” that reminds me of some spots from home…maybe it is because I always hear people speaking Spanish, French or English with some other foreign accent. While some Bostonians might initially find the crowd distant and aloof, people are actually pretty friendly as they hang out and just try to have a good time. The menu is pretty straight-forward with treats for every taste; I recommend going for a panini, and the BBQ chicken pizza is a must. A pitcher of sangria seems to be the drink of choice, and for good reason: it’s phenomenal, fruity and powerful. This is definitely a spot I like to frequent and I recommend to anyone who is going down Newbury and wants to make a pit stop while enjoying a beautiful day in Boston.

PROS: Located in the middle of Newbury, prices are reasonable, and the staff is very friendly and attentive.

CONS: Wait time can be very long, no sangria by the glass.
