A tiny slice shop by Union St subway turning out creative and classic pies with strong vegan/gluten-free coverage; great when fresh, but service and consistency can wobble.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Union Street Pizza delivers solid neighborhood pizza with excellent crust and fresh-baked appeal when slices come hot, but quality swings between standout and over-baked prevent a higher grade. Service ranges from warm to curt, and the tiny grab-and-go format suits quick eats over lingered meals. Fair pricing and convenient station-side location make it a reliable local choice, though not a destination.
Restaurant Summary
Right by the Union St station, this tiny shop turns out slices with serious crust crunch and a board that mixes classics with modern toppings. Reviewers say, "fresh out of the oven it sings," though a few report dry or over-baked slices at off times. Counter interactions range from warm and helpful to curt on busy nights. The cooking leans elevated slice-joint rather than fancy: vodka-sauce riffs, hot honey, preserved lemons, and the MVP three-sauce mashup. That means a familiar base with playful updates more than chef theatrics; the upside-down pepperoni square and MVP are frequent winners when fresh. Expect a neighborhood vibe and fair prices for specialty pies. For families, cheese and pepperoni slices are easy wins, and the tiny interior suits quick eats more than lingered meals. Kids who like simple flavors will be fine; picky eaters may prefer a plain cheese or tomato pie. One reviewer noted a nearby shop odor; most families focus on the fast, slice-friendly setup.
