Dragon Pizza: A Slice of Fun in Somerville

Dragon Pizza is a must visit in the Davis Square area. Their front area is just like a NY pizza bar. Great quick stool & bench seating or table seating. They also have a nice patio area out back off the main road. The slices are made well. Thin crust, a nice crunch with some pizza oven char on them. The cheese is stretchy but with that still nice solid texture you get in a good NY slice. Their sauce was also excellent. Not too salty, sweet, or heart-burny! Ha! They also built an excellent little bar counter that was set to open in 2020, but then Covid….so it’s open now, new, and ready for service! We had Negronis at a bargain $10/cocktail, expertly made with the orange peel rim wipe and twist into the drink. The Margherita slice was awesome. Basil makes me happy. . The pepperoni slice was good too. They slice their pepperoni in a long direction, rather than in circles, which we found unique. Of the two, Margherita was king. Alexa helped us and was a sweet person. Really kind, helpful, and made us want to come back. We will most definitely be back! I have to try the special Maple Bacon slice by Alexa’s suggestion. I cannot wait. Thank you all so much. This was a really enjoyable place. Make a quick stop!

Zza so finger licking good that even a cat couldn’t resist! Among all six different slices we tried to day I would rank it the following: 1) Margarita ( simple and fresh is the best ) 2) Mushroom ( it was the corn that won me over ) 3) Bacon ( the sweet sauce? Syrup they added on top was a game changer ) 4) Ricotta and sausage 5) Three cheese (FYI. the cheese is strong. Highly recommend for all the cheese connoisseurs out there) 6) Pepperoni (not your typical rounded pepperoni. House special. Still very good but unfortunately had strong competition in this list.) Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a thin crust, large, New York style pizza in Davis square :)

Great pizza, great beers, great staff. Also has more of a "games room" next door, that might have more "atmosphere" but I was just there for some food and drink after a week working in the area. Staff were nice to talk to, slices and beer came quickly. Good prices. Would have stayed for more but would have been found slumped in the corner. So will save it as a place to visit again next time I'm over.

Need a quick slice? Feel like having a crispy, cheesy, tasty napolitano-style that holds up without folding? (but fold if you must... they won't judge...) Dragon Pizza is an easy walk for a great slice or two-- or six, which is what you'll get if you order their 18 inch large pizza, coincidentally the only type of pizza you can get here if you're not ordering by the slice, but totally worth it. And for those of a certain age craving some vintage 80s-style music (in the view of cassette tapes on the wall), you'll love that, too. It's a small place that feels with a college vibe, but matches any age in style. Four stars for atmosphere only because it's not an "atmosphere" place-- it's a pizza place supporting the in/out customer. Definitely coming back...

I went today during Porchfest and boy was that crew working hard! It was a mad house but they were keeping it moving. They were all sooo nice. I had the maple bacon cheddar slice which was divine with a house spritz. The mix of flavors in that slice were perfect and the sauce tasted super natural and homemade. Then I went for seconds and had buffalo chicken slice and an espresso martini. I did not love the buffalo slice. It was missing the blue cheese or ranch topping touch in my opinion. The espresso martini was great! Loved their back patio! If im back in the area I’ll def be back.

Pretty fast service and pizza was thin yet good. I didn’t see any Parmesan cheese to be added, but then again I didn’t ask for it although I did see chile peppers. Drinks were pretty good as well and were done fast. Overall, I would return and buy a whole pizza again

They offer all their varieties of pizza by the slice which is an awesome way to try different flavors and not over eat by buying whole pies like we do in other places. Their pizzas are thin crust, bubbly and charred, just how we like it. They serve alcohol as well as gelato. The place is hot with the pizza ovens going even with the front and back doors open despite it being a windy cool evening so it’s a tad uncomfortable eating in but we did anyway.

My go-to for pizza in Davis. The kale Caesar Salad is so crunchy and tasty, with fresh shaved parm. The slices are thin, and cooked to perfection. The basil isn't cooked to a burnt crisp, but shredded and placed on top at the end. A cross between a city slice from New York and a fancier neopolitan slice. The sauce was sweet and had a hint of acidity. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I loved it. Plus, it's rare you can get by-the-slice anywhere decent. Service was great, everyone who was working there seemed stoked and were friendly.
