– I really like their light but fluffy crust with a bit of char on the pizza.
– shaved Brussels sprouts and kale salad is so good. Light but really delicious. Probably the only salad I’d ever order at a restaurant

We ordered for pick up as we were driving from Maine and craving this pizza for dinner. Sadly once we got said pizza home what we received was a burnt carnivore pizza. The pizza was somehow undercooked on the bottom and burnt black and crispy on top. The toppings were also charred which didn’t taste good at all. But what do you do after a long day of driving?? My boyfriend ate slices of the least burnt pieces and I had a slice but my toppings fell off my soggy slice. Smoky flavor all around.
Guess I just wish someone had done some quality control before handing over this pizza to us. When you pay 32 dollars for a pizza you kind of have higher expectation for the quality of food. Very sad to have had this experience tonight. We hope tonight was just a flaw in the cooking or oven equipment. Thanks.

We ate here for two evenings because it was so good the first time we visited. The supreme garlic knots were amazing and great as a shared starter. The pasta dishes were good but the pizza particularly good as it is cooked in a wood fired pizza oven, the service was excellent on both evenings and I would definitely recommend Area Four for pasta & pizza. We sat outside which was nice but the inside had a great feel too.

The crust on the pizza was the star of the dinner. Garlic knots were also good. Service was a little slow and the restaurant is loud, but would return for the crust! There is a good selection of local beers too.

Area Four is the kind of place that makes you want to cancel your next few plans just to stay a little longer. From the moment you walk in, there’s this buzzy, effortless cool—part industrial hangout, part neighborhood gem. The wood-fired pizza? Absolute sorcery. The crust has that perfect char, chewy inside, and the toppings taste like they were foraged by pizza monks. We had the mushroom and the carnivore—both showstoppers. The cocktails are sharp, creative, and dangerously drinkable. And the staff? Laid-back, funny, and clearly love what they do. If you’re not already obsessed, one visit will do the trick.

We got takeout from here on two nights during a trip to Boston/Cambridge. Both times we had the Sausage and Pickled Peppers pizza and we think it’s probably the best pizza we have ever had! Also it’s ready super quick and was piping hot! The large pizza is a great size!

Area Four Pizza in Boston totally impressed me! The prosciutto americano was hands-down my favorite. The carnivore pizza was also a standout, The crust on both was perfectly crisp and chewy. Oh, and their garlic bread is full of garlic and buttery flavors coated in cheese. So delicious, don’t skip them.
We ordered two large pizzas, and it was just enough for 5 of us. Also, they have a very extensive beer list.
The atmosphere has amazing energy, perfect for hanging out with friends or just enjoying a casual night out. I would highly recommend stopping into Area Four.

I want to say first that the service was great. The staff were attentive and helpful and had a great attitude.
With that out of the way the pizza I got was bad. Like they forgot to add salt to the pizza bad. No amount of chili flakes or oregano was going to fix the pizza. It was also incredibly floppy. Maybe the rest of the menu is better but this particular pizza, the mushroom pizza + bacon was very bad.

I’ve heard about Area Four for years, and finally made it for dinner a few weeks ago. The restaurant was quite busy but were able to accommodate a big group, which we appreciated.
Though my dining companions dissuaded me, I ordered the clam pizza. It was the best pizza by far! I loved the clam flavor paired with the cheese and garlic. I’d definitely get this again.
All of the pizzas I tried were good. The dough and crust are great. The large pizzas are very large — we got 4 large and 1 small for 10 people, and it was the right amount.
I also got a cocktail that I wasn’t a big fan of, but I’d be open to trying other cocktails in the future.

Ok, I love pizza and wings, and this has got to be one of the best I have ever had. The pizza was amazing, fresh ingredients, perfect portions of toppings, very fast delivery to table. This place is easy to get to in Cambridge, nice little park/grass area on the side for kids to run around if you need. Was in town to visit my daughter at Northeastern and we tried this on Saturday and Posto Sunday. Don’t waste your time with Posto, that place is a joke. Area Four is by far one of the best pizzas places I have ever tried. The wings were also perfect, not drenched in sauce, perfectly baked so there is a crunch but not dry. Waitress was friendly as well. Plan ahead with a reservation or go early or later than the rush times. Trust me, you’ll really enjoy the food!
