Decent neighborhood spot
Skampa was one of my first meals after moving to the city, and I remember liking their roast beef sandwich. With so many similar pizza/sub shops along Cambridge Street, I never really felt the need to come back. But I saw them open during a recent snowstorm and decided to give them a try again.
As expected, it’s a pretty standard pizza/sub shop, but I was surprised to see a few extras on the menu that you don’t always find at places like this. Things like fried seafood platters and sub-$10 lunch plates. Paying $7–8 for wings and fries or a burger and fries felt like a steal in this economy.
This time, I tried the Italian calzone, plain wings, and the steak tip dinner. Everything was fine, nothing memorable, nothing terrible. Probably not a place I’d pick over some of the stronger spots nearby, but I might come back again for that roast beef sandwich.

I tried the grilled chicken heaven wrap. It was delicious. Very cozy atmosphere. Warm and inviting. Prices were great. I would definitely return here any if I was in the area. Good stuff. Thank you Skampa. 5 stars.

We loved this place conveniently located, good food. The amount of food for the price was very good. I would go back. I got the seafood combo it was delicious. The second time I had the haddock dinner also great. All their dinners come with fries and onion rings so it’s a plate that 2 people can share. The only thing that I didn’t like was the inside tables were rarely clean you have to ask.

Low priced good tasting hole in the wall pizza shop. The staff was amazing. Nice! Even brought my order out when it was done. Can’t say anything wrong about this place

I had a beautiful colorful salad – yes it was beautiful with all the goodies – in Cambridge, Massachusetts at Skampa. It was called: The Greek with a Twist! Not only do they serve delicious subs but also salads. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Skampa is so good! Yummy pasta, pizza, sandwiches etc with quick delivery and pickup times. No frills, reliable, and tasty.

Meh, the meat came undercooked and chewy. I ended up throwing more than half. No special sauce for meat, greasy fries (humongous portion), too salty.
Maybe just a temporal hiccup but I would not say they have a good roast beef sandwich even if all of the above was better.

Skampa is one of the best roast beef and sub shops I’ve ever been to. The food is amazing and consistent (something that is very important in a restaurant) and the prices are very cheap. Plentiful servings make for a great lunch or dinner; I would recommend their roast beef dinner, all of this was only $8.50. Definitely check them out!

Nice large helping of pasta for only $12. I ordered Alfredo with chicken and broccoli and the guy explained what they have isn’t Alfredo from cream but but from oil and I said SEND IT. Foods delicious, feels original like there’s some old Italian grandma in back whippin it up. Id recommend

Tried the North Shore Beef sandwich at this Cambridge location as someone who’s familiar with the original North Shore versions.
While it’s a decent option if you’re craving this style of sandwich and can’t make it to the coast, it doesn’t quite capture the authentic experience.
The flavors are there, but something about the execution – whether it’s the bread, the seasoning, or the overall preparation – falls short of what you’d get at the original spots. It’s serviceable
if you’re in the area and have the craving, but manages to be just okay rather than memorable.
