• Pizza Bar • Cambridge

Booked 14 times today

Parties 20+ will be subject to a table minimum of $25/person per hour.The foundation for the pizza at Stoked Pizza Company comes from meticulously studying the ingredients and techniques used to produce our favorite classic pizza styles and highlighting the strengths of each in what we make. We prefer a crust that is soft and light on the inside with a crisp outer shell that can stand up on its own. We want our ingredients and topping combinations to provide an explosion of flavor. To achieve this we use extremely hot ovens along with carefully researched dough formulations, tomato varieties, and cheese blends, sparing no expense and taking no shortcuts.

All food delicious (cinnamon buns!!!) but there is one menu item that should be relabeled. It's called 'short rib hash'. There actually isn't any meat in the ingredient list or in the dish but with the title, I thought there would be. I suggest they retitle it. It tastes yummy, but I was expecting meat. Service excellent. Prices reasonable. I'd go here again!
