Upper Crust on Harvard Street in Coolidge Corner, Brookline is the best place to go when in need of a quick bite before going to a movie at the Coolidge Corner movie theater. It ain't fancy inside, but gets the job done and one slice is more than enough for this pizza lover. The pizza is thin sliced and the pepperoni was spicy and a little greasy but that's the way I like it. My mouth is watering just reliving the experience. There were other ready-made pizza options on order but pepperoni is my go-to. They seem to do a vigorous take-out business. The place was full but not crowded on a Thursday around 6pm. The slice was ready (reheated) in a flash and I found a place at the window counter. Dinner for under $4!! Who can beat that?

The upper crust pizza is definitely the best thin crust pizza in Boston❤️My favorite is the Margherita pizza?There are enough seats in the store, and the freshly baked pizza is the best! If you don’t finish it, take it home and reheat it in the oven, it’s still delicious??I’ll try other flavors next time.

My boyfriend and I were grocery shopping and decided to get a quick bite before heading back home. There weren't too many options for individual slices and decided to try the most intriguing pizza slice they had on display - the Nashville Hot Chicken with scallions, ranch, chicken. We decided to get a slice of that to share since we weren't too hungry. The person behind the counter quickly helped us get that warmed up and we were in and out of there within 20 minutes. Super impressed by the service. I can also see that they were making fresh dough and kneading them while I was eating. There is an extensive list of pizza that you can order whole, which I want to try soon. Can't wait to be back!

Doesn't honor Gift Cards online. Had to go into the store and order and wait for the pizza after spending 30 minutes online and on the phone with the cashier (who was very friendly). Pizza was dry and lacked the typical chunky tomato sauce. Was disappointed.They really need to check their new website payment processing. It does not work with gift cards or promo codes.

I've had pizza from the Brookline location several times, and it's been a pretty reliable thin crust slice. It always smells delicious walking by, and they have huge pies in the glass for you to choose from. On this particular evening, I was at an event where we ordered a bunch of different pizzas to try, and it was actually better than normal - all of the pizzas were still very hot and fresh, and the crust was nice and crispy without being too chewy (some of the past times have been too chewy). I really enjoyed all of the flavors below as well: Boylston BBQ (Signature Crust, BBQ Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella, Breaded Chicken and White Onion.) - Probably my favorite go-to pizza. The crust is delightfully crispy and slightly chewy, and the BBQ sauce is nice and tangy. There is the right amount of cheese, and the chicken is breaded and nicely seasoned. Though I'd probably prefer red onion, this is a very reliably good BBQ chicken slice. The Fenway (Signature Crust, Housemade Pizza Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella, Italian Sausage, White Onion and Green Peppers.) - This has been hit or miss and today it was a hit. Sometimes, it can be a little saucy and I'm not crazy about the sauce, but tonight it had the right ratio and there wasn't too much sauce. The cheese stuck to the crust nicely and there was a lot of sausage, giving each bite a healthy portion of meat. Really hearty and filling! Hancock Hawaiian (Signature Crust, Housemade Pizza Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella, Canadian Bacon, and Pineapple.) - This was the first time I tried this and while some people may not like pineapple on pizza, I really do. This particular pizza had a bit too much sauce which was tough to eat on thin crust pizza as it gets a bit soggy and heavy on top, but it also had a good amount of pineapple and canadian bacon which was great. The canadian bacon was especially plentiful and thick, which added a nice saltiness to the tangy pineapple. The ratio of sauce to cheese to toppings was great, but like I said before, it was a little off when compared to how thin the crust was. All in all, a solid experience today - 4/5 and I'd definitely have a few of these again next time I walk by!

Every thing was good but did not have margarita pizza slices. Not a lot of drink options either mostly soda and juice. Great music though. And the service was good too.

Pizza is decent (by Boston standards).The service? I wouldn't call it that. The young woman at the counter who sold me the slice, had a bored if not sullen expression on her face. I gave her a one-dollar tip, hoping to cheer her up a bit. No results. I know one dollar doesn't go far these days, but something tells me that no amount would solve the problem at hand...Vegetarian options: Never mind vegetarian options. Get rid of sourpusses at the counter.
Good was delicious! Fast service, clean and wonderful atmosphere. Love it!
