Editorial Review
by Eric Grossman
Charles Street's finest pizza shop churns out fresh specialty pies and light salads.

With its limited seating area--there's a 10-seat communal table and a few wall-mounted shelves--the Beacon Hill Upper Crust location lends itself to carry-out or free delivery service. Creative diners mix and match from an endless variety of gourmet toppings (arugula, baby clams, Canadian bacon), and the menu suggests several tantalizing combinations. The flavorful "white spinach" (spinach, garlic, mozzarella and feta with no tomato sauce) and the carnivore-friendly "state house" (hamburger, pepperoni and spicy Italian sausage) varieties both prove popular. Gooey calzones and fresh Greek and Caesar salads round out the offerings.

When to Go
It may be across the Common, but Upper Crust is good for grabbing a quick bite before the theater.

    THE PIZZA HAS NO TASTE TO IT. THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ON THE SAME LIST AS THE OTHERS.

    This is by far the best pizza in town. Forget the tourist locations in the North End and head here.

    I've only been to the one in Brookline. If the pizza is fresh it is great! Big slices too... The The Brookline Spa has really good pizza too, huge slices.
