It’s a reflection on the tight local vibe of Boston that most people would know a small 15-seat pizza place called The Upper Crust. Located on the ever-so-perfect Charles Street, it is a Boston icon worthy of a quick stop even if you aren’t that hungry. A slice at The Upper Crust is just as exquisite, in its own way, as anything at L’Espalier. Savor the perfectly crispy crust married with just the right balance of sauce and toppings. Many patrons regularly burn the roofs of their mouths as the desire to indulge overwhelms the biological defense of pain avoidance. It’s that good.

"Pizza doesn't get much better than the Upper Crust. The unusual combinations of toppings and perfect crust are amazing. They also deliver on bikes."

"If you got the money to burn then go for it, A fool and his/her money are soon parted. For the expansion it is amazing its doing well, but not a shock because many people aren't make a good crust in Boston. Just illusions, tons of toppings, big slices big prices, wine&beer picking up the finiacial slack, pizza cooks with a bad vibe! BLAND! I guess ya gotta go to the North end, New York or Camden House of Pizza because the BackbayImproperBostonian rockstars are departing the Titanic. If you dig this pizza then you got a :"palet like cows back side"GordonRamsey"

"This pizza lived up to the hype. I had the daily special slice which was fresh basil, tomato and ricotta on wheat. I want some now. Wished they delivered to the Midwest."

"I can’t help but drool when thinking about the pizza from the Upper Crust. Even though there is often a line, it’s well worth the wait to grab a slice. The tasty sauce on top of a thin crispy crust and topped with some pretty fancy toppings makes for one heck of a slice. I try to go there for lunch at least once a week, since their slice of the day is such a good deal."

"I can’t resist a slice of hot pizza from Upper Crust no matter what my state of hunger might be. While you can get a piece of pizza at a million places, only a handful do it this well. Perfect just the way it is."
