• Pizza Bar • Cambridge
Booked 5 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.

    Loved the vibe here. Beautiful space. Great music and excellent service. I was not blown away by my meal, but it was good. Felt the veal schnitzel lacked seasoning and would have benefited from a sauce or some lemon. Just a bit flat but it was perfectly crispy and lightly breaded which was good. Oysters were incredible and the bone marrow was very good.

    Great tapas style menu offerings. We shared between the two of us the heirloom tomatoes, rosemary focaccia, burrata and peaches and papayas bravas. Everything was SO incredibly delicious and portions were really nicely sized. Paired it all with a couple glasses of orange wine. Service was good and staff was attentive. We sat outside and regretted not staying inside because the outside seating feels like you’re in a parking lot and people were walking by smoking while we were dining. The ambiance inside the restaurant was more our vibe so will definitely dine inside next time. If you’re in Cambridge check this place out!

    I'm sort of biased, as this is my favorite restaurant, and have been eating here for 30 years. Last night I brought my star employee for a celebration dinner, and with every morsel he ate he said to me "this is the best. Oh my god". The dining experience of this restaurant is essentially perfect, start to finish. My only sadness is that my server of 30 years, Rafael, has officially retired. May he live a long and wonderful rest of his life!!!
