Customer service was horrible. After waiting an hour (quoted delivery time) I called & person on phone said Oh sometimes people just say that the order is done(on app) & don t actually tell anyone to make it so my order prep began over an hour late, they quoted at least another 30 min for delivery, I waited a little then said I d pick it up. Coincidentally my car starter was acting up so then I called back & said I still needed the originally deliver( abt 15 min later). Same woman on the phone says they ll have a driver bring it over still(less than 20 min before close) it s 15mi. After their close time...my food never arrived

My family and I were in town last week visiting relatives and they decided one night to order out pizza. They knew of Papa's and highly recommended it. Boy, were they right! The pizza got there quick, it was HOT, and it was incredible! We ordered two extra larges (Margherita and Meat Lover) and everyone loved them! The crusts and sauce were wonderful.
(It took me back to my younger days when we would go out Sunday after church to our favorite Italian restaurant in Cleveland). So I decided before we came home, I would have to take the family there to eat. We arrived and though it was busy, we were seated immediately by a very courteous, friendly host. Our server got to us quickly and got our drinks while making some suggestions for my wife and I as well as the kids. Just like the take-out pizza, in in-house food was perfect as well! Chicken Alfredo, Strawberry Walnut Salad, Meatball Sub, and my one kid actually ordered a Steak Teriyaki Bowl (at an italian restaurant????) and I was shocked at how good it was! Even the Assistant Manager Konstantine came by to see how everything was. He was a very nice young man. Service was spot on without being overbearing. Wish I could bring this place down to FL with me as well as give it more stars than just five!

It s a bad experience ever had, I enjoyed the pizza quite well but the people there are disgusting, the employee there made a mistake by not doing the bill payment properly and they mistook us as we didn t paid. They should hire employees who knows to respect customers and be professional!! Hope you make a better service further.

The service was terrible, the girl at the register was on the phone taking a long order while I just had a drink a cookie that I wanted to buy but there was no acknowledgement of my waiting. It was poor service so, I decided not to buy any of the items. I would give 0 but 1 is the lowest score for customer service.

Huge props that -- when I went in to pick up my order -- every single worker was wearing their mask correctly. This was very reassuring. There also doesn't seem to be any in-person dining, so I felt much safer walking in here than into other places I've tried recently. The eggplant parm was very tasty. I haven't done takeout much in the Medical Area this past year due to the pandemic, but will definitely continue to return here.

Of the three choices on the corner (Penguin and ilmondo), definitely pick this one. Why? I'm staying at Boston's children's hospital, and have tried both which were a disappoinment. Third time's a charm when choosing here, but doesn't have to be yours. Much more flavor and better tasting. My only critique is that the dough needs a little more salt, otherwise delicious! Start and finish here, you'll be happier.

My husband and I live about 4 hours away but come to the VA hospital for specialist appointments once or twice a month and we stay the night and order in. We have found a few places we like, one that was horrendous.... And then last night, we were lucky enough to find Papa's.
The girl that answered the phone was very friendly and helpful in describing the dishes we were thinking of and what was included to make sure we got what we were looking for. I ordered my Italian sub with a meat substitution, added mayo and asked for the oil on the side. It feels like it's next to impossible to get all these things correct at a restaurant sometimes but they nailed it. We ordered some additional sauces for our appetizers which all made it.
On top of getting everything correct, the food was amazing!!! We dove into our appetizer sampler and everything was fantastic. My husband raved about his steak and rice bowl. My sub was perfection. And the cake.. let's just say next time we won't share a slice.
Looking greatly forward to our next visit to Boston and to Papa's!

It was good. Service was good and fast - they didn't have pastrami when I went which was a bummer because I set out specifically for it but that's life! I had a cheese steak type special sub which was decent but lacking in flavor a bit dry. I am being critical. The place is good I would go again and try their pizza that might have been my mistake haha.

Decent prices and decent quality food. Given a five for serving slices of pizza as big as my head. I suppose it is a pizza joint near colleges thing, but it works for me.

Staff was friendly and got everything out in timely manner. I look forward to heading back when I am in the neighborhood.

Im shocked at how many reviews say the pizza here is good. It s not. I had a slice of peperoni pizza and a pepsi (>$6 ) and ate about half because I was starving but every bite was close to miserable. They will give you your slice on a piece of wax paper and a paper plate... so your paper plate won t fall apart from the cup of oil soaking on top of it. Super salty pizza, cheese and sauce were not awful (but not good at all). I left still hungry. I can t speak on the rest of their menu, or even their other pizzas, all I know is I m not coming back to find out.

Their kitchen looks very clean which must have taken some effort considering how dirty it looked when Il Mondo s was still there.

Their staff was friendly and my slice was brought out to me instead of them just yelling that my slice was ready and grabbing it from the counter which is what I typically expect at a quick-bite pizza and sub place.

Im leaving two stars only because this is advertised as a pizza company but serves the worst pizza I have had in some time.

Best thing about this place was its buffalo chicken pizza. I spent 50 dollars on dinner plates, subs, and a slice of pizza for my family and the only thing we liked was the buffalo chicken pizza. The sauce they use to top it off was outstanding. But I would not order anything else just the pizza next time.

Regular here, Food is good and fairly price. The only issue for not giving them 5 stars is the service. I have called for pickup multiple times and arrive 30 mins later to pickup my order only for them to realize they never put it in or it's not ready and I had to wait another 20 mins. Overall great pizza place.

Each review on here says the pizza is great but in my opinion it was absolutely awful. Worst pizza I've had in Boston. I would recommend going to 1 of the other dozen pizza places around the city.

Everything I have had from here so far has been great. The the employees and the owner at Papa's are always super friendly which is refreshing because I find customers get treated as an annoyance all too often in Boston. In addition, the kitchen always looks clean unlike the old pizza place that used to be in this location. If you are in the area I highly recommend you stop in and try for yourself.

I'm in Boston for 6 weeks over the summer and live in the mission hill area. I have been to Penguin pizza, Ilmundo, Joe's, Mama's and Papa's.

Papa's is by far the best in terms of food. The pizza is delicious. The steak and cheese subs are phenomenal. The Gyro's are incredible. I even tried eating healthy for a couple of weeks and had all their salads on the menu. The salads were fresh and delicious. They are super generous with the helpings. It's super clean and the owner pretty much lives in the store.

I'm looking forward to coming back next summer, it's my go to spot.

Fantastic place. The food is cheap and bountiful. Around $18 for a 22" pizza is amazing and the taste is out of this world. Staff is friendly and our the wait time was next to nothing. Overall easily top 3 best pieces of pie in Boston.

Cheap but good pizzas are the flagship of the Papa's, but its great for many other confort bites. It is open for late diners and has a small space to dine in. It is literally 20 secnds appart from the inbound trains of the green line that can be monitoored from the shop window, which makes for the perfect place to snack something and stay proyected from the weather if you are commuting that way. They are not yet wheelchair friendly.

Great pizza. The best thing about this place is you can pay for a reasonably priced slice and that slice is an entire quarter of the pizza. It s such a great value, but just be aware that there s so little space inside and lots of college students like to go here. During the COVID pandemic, they don t have any chairs to sit inside, at least the last time I went in early April.

Really great pizza - came here twice and had a margarita pizza the first time, and the second time had a steak and cheese with sweet potato fries. Omg both were so good. I can't wait to go back and try more pizza, although the sub was outstanding.

Reliably delicious pizza each and ever time. The right amount of cheese and toppings and the crust is delicious (and I normally don't even like crust). This is my go-to pizza place each and ever time.
