Area Four Kendall Square - Cambridge

Amazing and so so good. Maple bacon and carnivore are the best. It's not New York style but the Neapolitan is not to be overlooked here. They cooked it in a real pizza oven and the sauce is tasty too

This review is for the A4 Cafe (breakfast sammies). A4 Cafe is within the Area Four restaurant (with its own direct access from the sidewalk), open early morning until early evening. Offering breakfast, lunch, beverages and pastries. Coffee is roasted well here. Nice to see at this time mulled cider and other drinks like the teas and seasonal house lemonade. Breakfast food options are limited: yogurt granola, oatmeal, and breakfast sandwiches (very customizable). Pastries are pretty varied and. I especially love the breakfast sandwiches (option for an everything bagel that's particularly tasty).

Small is great size for 1. Really good pepperoni. We’ll cooked. Crust a bit to thick and soft. Would like a bit more crunch. UPDATE (5/6/22): they‘ve suddenly and inexplicably changed their pepperoni. Instead of the delicious and convenient miniature slices, my last 2 pies have been littered with the humongous kind, approx 4” in diameter. These are uncool, because 1) they can’t be easily redistributed, which I frequently do in order to establish proper coverage, 2) entire slices slide off during a single bit when not fully severed, and 3) they don’t achieve the same crisp-factor, which means they aren’t as tasty. The Brussels sprout salad is amazing, but the pepperoni situation has me shook.

Great delivery experience! The shaved Brussels sprout salad is truly phenomenal, one of the best salads I’ve ever had. I got a special spring veggie pizza and it was also really good! Nice fresh veggies, really flavorful. It’s so hard to find good takeout pizza in Cambridge, so was this the best pizza I’ve ever had? No. But is it great quality for this area? Yes.

Area Four had some delicious pizza and garlic knots. I loved the decorations and the ambiance. Great place to go if you’re in the area. Would recommend.
