For Pizza

The fam had some errands to run in Medford Square, so we stopped in at For Pizza for a quick dinner. The owner, Aaron, was super nice, and the kitchen staff seemed like they were having a good time. Enjoyed a house salad while we waited 15 minutes for our 3 pies to be served. Ordered a Hawaiian, a Honey Roni, and a cheese for the kids. Everyone loved their pizza -- a rarity in a household that can't agree on their favorite pizza place. We may have finally found one. Already looking forward to our next order to try some other pizzas that sounded great.

My partner and I decided on a whim to check out For Pizza yesterday (7/4/24.) She is a big fan of bar pizza, and we were excited to see if For Pizza lived up to the South Shore reputation while being north of Boston. CliffNotes version: Yup! We walked in and Aaron immediately welcomed us warmly, relaxedly. (Speaking of warm, it was another super muggy, hot day in greater Boston. It was very warm in the store, and it's a testament to the staff that they all seemed to be in good moods.) The menu of specialty pizzas is pretty impressive, and of course, there's a build-your-own option, including for plant-based diets. Because leftover pizza can be a good thing, we decided to do two pies. Beth chose the "Honey Roni" (pepperoni with hot honey). I asked Aaron to choose for me between the "Bocca Calda" (Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, jalapenos, garlic) and the "Mustang" (pepperoni, hamburger, and a house hot chili oil). He declared it worthy of doing a half & half. (They do this regularly, but it was fun to pretend we birthed something new. lol.) And because I'm a sucker, I also decided to order their Garlic Cheesy Breadsticks. The pies would take about 20 minutes, so we took a wander around Medford Square. Coming back, we observed the same welcoming behavior towards everyone who came in - delivery person, family, or whomever. Again, impressive in the heat. We took our pies home and jumped in. Everything was cooked perfectly. The pies have that crispy cheese lace at the edges as one should expect from a bar pizza. thee crust was delicious as were the toppings. My only small complaint was that there could have been more dipping sauce for the breadsticks, but then again, I didn't expect to be getting essentially a 3rd pizza for an appetizer! We will definitely go back. There aren't a lot of bar pizza joints in the Somerville/Medford area. Not with the variety of options are For Pizza. When the weather cools down, I'd be happy to eat inside the restaurant because the vibe was right. As a pizza fan, For Pizza is a win.

Kudos to Aaron, as soon as I walked in and asked about the order. Told me he was not happy with the pizza and was remaking it. Be another 5-10 minutes. He was very polite and the truth is, my son and I both raved over the vegan pizza. It was totally yummy. If you are vegan run to this place and support it. Really delicious pizza and a nice vibe to the place.

South shore style pizza in Medford Square that's pretty decent and has a good cause to donate to the community, but had some minor issues on expectations. Review is from 3/5/24, forgot to publish my draft.Came in around lunch because they said they served slices, but they had no slices available when I walked in. I was hungry so I got a whole pizza and they only had one size, and it was a bit pricier than I expected.Space was very clean, and service was friendly but selective. I ordered a half pepperoni half cheese, and based on the photos I saw online, I thought I was getting cuppy pepperoni. Turns out they ran out, which I learned when someone called in and the manager explained they were out of their normal pepperoni, but had a substitute, which is what I ended up with- not sure why this wasn't explained to me.The pizza itself was pretty good, I liked the sauce but found the dough a bit cardboardy and it was pretty greasy. Glad I tried it but probably won't return.

Gluten free is incredible. Chicken bacon ranch extra crispy was best gf pizza I've had. Cheesy bread was fantastic. Also bought gf frozen dough balls for make at home which came out good but not as good as when they make it. A little pricey and typically takes longer than they say, but worth it once in a while

Been to For Pizza a few times and they only get better and better! Super friendly staff! Service is quick but never "rushed", great little bridge across the street if you want to sit outside when the weather is nice.Definitely one of Medford's best places to go!!!

Best gf pizza I've ever had! Amazing crust, loaded with fresh toppings, delicious sauce.

Good Pizza, very kind owner. They donate a portion of their funds. Wish them all the best.

Stopped in for a quick bite and Aaron recommended the hot honey pepperoni and it was fantastic!

Amore Italia pizza - OMG!!! This is by far the best pizza I've ever had. Got takeout so can't comment on service or ambiance. Their pizza is like a work of art. Highest recommendation!!
