Love the food here! The pizza and sweet potato fries are amazing - super crispy and flavorful. I tried the city girl pizza with goat cheese instead of gorgonzola. We decided to eat in this time and saw so many cute dogs walk by. I’m so glad they’re back open and the inside is looking great with a fresh paint job and new furniture. The free parking lot in the back is very convenient.
Was looking for a place to eat when I was in the area, and since this cafe popped up so I gave it a shot. Staff were very nice, and there was a LARGE selection of American-style foods to order. My sandwich and fries were very fresh, and made for a great lunch. It may not look like much from the outside, but the food inside is what you're after.
Casual, walk-in cafe with some interesting choices. Gourmet and regular pizzas & calzones as well as well-crafted sandwiches. I ordered the tuna melt which came on focaccia. I was a little disappointed with the focaccia which didn't have the zing I expected but it was a good sandwich. My daughter had the chicken pesto sandwich which did not disappoint. Note that the sandwiches did not come with sides so we ordered regular fries as well as the sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were the best I ever had. Usually, they tend to be too thin and overdone but these were perfect and substantial. Overall, a nice place but maybe not the best value after you consider cost of sides & drinks, but then again, you are in the Boston metro area.
I was intrigued and wanted to try the pizza here because from the looks of the photos, it was similar to a south shore bar style pizza. This is hard to find north of the city and I was hoping for the best! I ordered a Hawaiian pizza to go. When I got home and opened the box, I was happy to see that it indeed looked like a South Shore pie! Crispy edges where you would typically see crust, and there was a considerable number of toppings on it. The flavor was there, and it fulfilled my pizza craving! I recommend giving this place a shot if you are in the area!
Hands down our favorite spot for pizza in all of Somerville or Cambridge! Highly recommend the Old Country or Bacon Cheeseburger options. The ingredients are insanely high quality and the staff is kind and attentive. If you have not given City Slicker a try, please do yourself a favor and give it a go!
