In 2001, Jordan Tobins brought the simple concept of traditional Neapolitan-style pizza (thin crust, chunky sauce) to an urban setting and founded the Upper Crust Pizzeria, opening in a small storefront on Beacon Hill's historic Charles Street.
Today, Boston pizza-lovers can visit any of the area's five locations to enjoy unique pies created in an open-kitchen atmosphere and served up in award-winning architectural spaces.
Whether grabbing a slice to go or settling in with friends to watch the hometown team on HDTV screens throughout the restaurant, guests can be sure they are in for a mouth-watering experience unlike any other.
Each Upper Crust specialty pizza is made with the freshest ingredients, from hand-rolled dough baked to thin-crust perfection, to savory toppings from the common - pepperoni and mushrooms - to the uncommon - try our bacon, fresh pineapple, and jalapenos

This laid-back, upscale pizza joint attracts a diverse, young clientele. By day, area students indulge in a slice while taking study breaks, while evening brings visitors from the nearby cinema stopping for a post-film snack. Patrons familiar with the original Beacon Hill location will enjoy the same speedy counter service at this offshoot, but will notice a slightly expanded menu and individual tables in contrast to the original's communal eating spaces.
The Food
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) are both highlights. Gooey calzones and fresh Greek and Caesar salads round out the offerings.
