Decent pizza spot in Kendall square with lively vibes.The place seemed great for casual outings with pizza and beer, but pizza here was just average. I got the bacon and clam pizza which I ended up eating just a slice. The side of chili honey and chili flakes did add some flares to it, but overall it was not worth the price. On the other hand, the butter curry chicken wings and supreme garlic knots were good and I would definitely recommend getting more chicken and other sides than pizza.

Great food. I took one star out because the place was too hectic that the servers kept forgetting about bringing our dish :(

Super nice pizza. One large and one small were enough for 4 guys.

Tasty pizza with a thin soft middle crust and a chewy lightly charred puffy outer crust. Great Caesar salad and garlic knots too. Selection of wines, cocktails and beer.

Few items on the menu are really good but did not like pizza here. Prices are really expensive. I have had better food and better ambience for lesser price.

Very tasty, but lack of attention to details.The plates are too small for the slices of pizza (I burnt my wifes leg with the splatter through table). The thin crust was soggy. The red-flake on the side (that we paid extra for) was forgotten.

Very tasty thin crust pizza! If you are in the Cambridge area looking for a good variety of pizza and alcoholic beverages you have to visit Area 4. I would recommend the Carnivore pizza if you like meat pizza!

Margarita pizza is the best! You can also order your pizzas and eat them at the lawn right next to it. This is great for large groups or a nice picnic

Thanks for the early free birthday Chai latte!

The pizza was good, but nothing exception. The bread bites were also just good. The ingredients used are good though, so you know that its good. The pizza wasnt too greasy or cheesy, so that was a plus. I got delivery, so I cant speak on the ambience, but the food was definitely fresh and hot when I ate it.

A4. Ive had the Lone Pine drafts and more recently the Vanishing.... Not sure. I am a Harpoon IPA fan. Enjoy A4.

In the rest of the world, A4 is not Area 4, but a paper size. Something that you would know if you used a copy machine, or a printer. So when I walked into A4 Pizza, that was exactly what I had thought... That they should have a flagship pizza which is in the shape of an A4 sheet of paper. I mentioned this to the management as a missed marketing opportunity. They looked at me weird. But that aside, the pizza was great and the soup was delicious... Just what we needed in a cold winter day. Prices are a bit on the high side. But they do make a mean anchovy pizza. I liked this joint.

One of the best pizza in Boston. They started in Cambridge then opened another branch in South End. The dough is many years old and tens of hours is spent for fermentation. You feel the unique taste of dough when you get a bite from the corner of your pizza. They use a sophiaticated oven that combines advantages of wood and gas fire. They serve many good beers. I also recommend the salads.

This place has awesome pizza!! A lot of people had mixed reviews on the Clam and Bacon but my friends and I ended up liking it the most. Dough is super chewy. Totally recommend.

Favorite place to eat in all of Cambridge. The pizza is one of the best & the atmosphere & team they have their always go above & beyond. Even a great place just to grab a drink with a friend.

Great pizza, garlic knots were amazing everything was fresh and delicious! Satff were friendly a fun place.

Some of the best pizza around, which Id argue makes it some of the best pizza. I cant recommend this place enough.

The brussel sprout salad brings a hint of freshness after enjoy the meaty pizzas. I also enjoyed the crispy medium-thickness crust of the pizzas. Two pizzas and a plate of salad in Area 4 is a perfect portion for a party of four for lunch.

Great coffee and assortment of pastries. A bit pricey for the crafted drinks, but very fast and delicious service and food.

I will definitely come back when I want to eat a good pizza, I like the test of the wood oven they have. The potatoes also a very good started, are delicious.

Pizza was really good, including cheese less options. Outdoor seating was available.

Just okay pizza nothing special. Nice thin crust with VERY skimpy toppings, and little to no flavor.

Best pizza I’ve had in a long time!! Mushroom fontina was especially good

Recommended by local, this is one of the best pizza in town, I can’t deny it is!! It’s great to have this hot & tasty pizza during a cold day!!

I was excited to come here after reading some reviews. The goal was to find the best pizza in Cambridge and I must say that this falls short. The restaurant appearance is inviting and location is great. The prices are a bit higher than most pizza places around here. The pizzas themselves were not that great. The sour dough crust is interesting. It tastes like thin sourdough bread. I cant say it is great but it is interesting and would require a taste for it to truly appreciate it. The pizza does not taste too great. I would say it is a middle of the road gourmet pizza establishment. I cant recommend it.

A nice coffee shop with real good coffee. Id recommend this place for any informal meeting. I was here for work and it wasnt the best setting for getting work done. I went here around 4 pm and it was realllllyyy crowded.The cappuccino I had was amazing! They do double shots by default, so keep that in mind!

One of the best pizzas that I have eaten ever!

Pizza is great :)) and the garlic knots are very filling so be careful not to overstuff yourself with that before the pizza comes. The small pizza with an appetizer is plenty for two people. The hot honey on pizza is good too.

Pretty good pizza and tasty garlic knots. Though the garlic knots resemble pull apart rolls and have a touch of lemon which I personally could do without.

For brunch we love the Hot Mess a skillet dish you won’t find anywhere else with potatoes, cheese, bacon, sausage and eggs that comes out hot and steamy.

I dont usually like pizza, but I will eat A4 pizza. Slather that honey butter on the crust. Yum.

Pretty average pizza for a steep price! The crust is quite chewy and ours was even burnt and tasted like burnt. Toppings are quite simple and not even covering the whole pizza. Pretty disappointing given high review scores

Excellent large pizza. However service was a bit slow (although once ordered the food came quickly). Cumbersome app to place orders.

Delicious and inventive pizza in a cool space. The dough is tasty but all the other dishes looked interesting too. Would love to make a return trip soon.

Great pizza and awesome beer selection.

Pizza made with care...great toppings, just right sauce, and a crust other pizza restaurants should aspire to. Served piping hot, the strawberry rhubarb crumble was a nice finish to the meal. And even though slammed, service was genuine and attentive.

It was a great place, great food and a great people! Servers were very nice and friendly.

Great pizza and a great menu in general! They never disappoint.

Great pizza with great staff! My personal favorite is the mushroom & fontina pizza, its just unreal. Really every pie here is excellent. The only thing there is to not like about this place are the prices. Then again, they do use premium ingredients and you are in Tech Square so in context its not so bad!

The food is really good and the staff is great.

Enjoyed the pizza. Service was good.

Good pizzas with high quality cheese and not oily at all.

Was taken here because Im a huge pizza fan, but was pretty disappointed. We waited there for about twenty minutes, so we stared at the line at the food truck outside now and then and questioned if we waited at the wrong place. We got the cheese covered knots and Not Pepperoni Pizza. The knots were good, maybe was a bit too filling to be eaten with the pizza. The pizza was way too salty, the crust was too burned for my taste, the sauce was bland and the cheese was mediocre. At least the atmosphere is nice and the service is good.

Ordered this veggie delight with my bread. It was rich in flavor and very presentable.Ambience was casual and the interiors were well lit and spacious. Hosts were extremely friendly.

On accurate menu. They dont include all the items in the topping. So it we ordered a pizza with fish on it and we are vegetarians and the waiter told us its a common occurrence. Hope they fix it.

Always make a reservation. Really good pizzas baked in a wood burning oven. Mushroom & fontina for vegetarians and Carnivore for meat lovers. On weekends, they even have breakfast pizzas. I wonder what thats like. Still waiting for the foie gras pizza to launch. (They accidentally gave me a test menu that got mixed up with the regular ones.)2018 March UpdateCame back for lunch, ordered the lamb sausage salad. Really yummy, check out the new pic.2018 June UpdateTry the smoked trout salad, really amazing. The baked mac and cheese with bacon is really good as well. And of course the not pepperoni pizza thats actually made with slices of sopressata and cheese. Yum.

My favorite pizza when I dont make it myself. 😋 The entire menu is solid. There is something for everyone and the quality.... I mean, just talking about it makes me crave it. So good! Kendall Square is my favorite.

Hands down, the best pizza in Cambridge!

The Slice, Slice, Baby lyrics (an adaptation of hit 90s song Ice, Ice, Baby, by Vanilla Ice) inside the pizza box really did the trick. It made me stop, collaborate, and eat some PEETZ!

The pepperoni and the cheese pizzas were fantastic.

Delicious pizza!! The sopressata is killer.

The pizza and vege salad are delicious! The Strawberry Rhubarb dessert is die for!

Best coal fire pizza in Boston! Got Area Four for delivery and didnt get hit with any of the normal downfalls of delivery pizza. Instead we were met with delicious hot crust, fresh toppings, and gooey cheese. Perfect!

Great place for team dinner. Highly recommend the garlic knots, which are only available at this location. Crust was nice and wood smoked crusty!

This place is our favorite pizza in Boston! We like that its not overly cheesy, and you can tell that the ingredients used are top notch. Its not the cheapest but its worth it. We order delivery since we live in Back Bay, and just pop it in the oven for a bit when it arrives. We MISS eating there in person - its such a good date night.

Cute place, but inside seating is arranged poorly.

I visited for lunch in early March 2021 (Covid) and sat outside under the heaters. We had a coffee from the cafe which was quite good and the Not Pepperoni Pizza which I think might be the best pizza in Cambridge. It was a little chilly — Ill certainly be back to check out the bar when they open back up!

Area 4 has one of the most novel pizzas you will find in Boston. The sourdough really comes through in the dough which I think is fantastic, but I guess if you are one of those people who doesn’t east the crust you probably won’t like it as the flavor is strong (and you shouldn’t be bothering to eat pizzas anyway). However for those who are turned off by flavorless crust this will not disappoint.A4 also has some good flavor combinations but the staples are also very good. Highly worth going. The mushroom and Hawaiian take are both excellent.

Patio available, fast but spoon and folk are needed

Great service, excellent food,Great atmosphere, excellent prices.

The MIT campus and Sean Collier memorial are worth a visit if youre checking out the area.

Nice Pizzerias and atmosphere

Food was delicious, we got the supreme garlic knots and pepperoni pizza . I seen pics of the pizza and knew this was my style. Great service and friendly workers .

Amazing pizza and garlic knots. The sauce is 👌 magic ✨

Whats not to love. Hip engaging staff that genuinely smile by the minute. They offer tasty firerosted pizza and drinks. [mic drop] In the heart of Cambridge, the tech epicenter, where the science fused artists, big brains, intro/extroverts hang out to parlay. Stop what youre doing and get over Area Four to experience this. Area Four is the velvet rope celebrity type treatment for the modern day outgoer. This place is nothing less than awesome all around from sweet treats to scrumptious eats with wicked beats to vibe to.

We picked up and my order was right on time and correct. I didn’t give 5 stars because I found the al Pastor wings to be on the pale side. Considering Area 4’s mighty pizza oven, I had expected and was looking forward to nice caramelized wings. The taste and the quality of the wings were good but the texture was somewhat ‘unwinglike’ if there is such a word. They look anemic and lost; there were some brown spots on some pieces but the other sides were completely pale 😞The lemon cake with raspberry filling was ok. The pizza was 👍👍 and so were the salads! Perhaps a tad more acid zing in the dressing?

No one ever came to the table. I ordered on my phone and got a black burnt pizza. 20 dollar small black burnt pizza. I will not be returning

Everything here is amazing and the pizza is to die for

Tasty pizza in a stylish place.

Top quality products

Pizza was decent but it is dog friendly patio which was great!

Delicious!

They had an amazing salad with hazelnuts.

Walking distance from our hotel, and many other things in the area. We had a short wait but were then seated at a lovely outdoor table. Drinks were on par with others locations in the city, aka a little spendy, but the pizza was absolutely delicious! We got the Not Pepperoni and it was a wonderful woodfired pizza. Came out quickly and was rich and filling. Would highly recommend and would come back for our next visit.

Incredible pizza and fantastic service! Highly recommend.

It’s a bar atmosphere the music they play is pretty random. The pizza itself is a combination of toppings that sound fancy “soppressata” but really are no better then regular salami. The pizzas are wood fired and the toppings will fall right off the pizza if you hold the slice vertically. Greasy pizza with sour tones, is not worth the price in my opinion. Even the lemonade is sour as they put in lemon rinds with the drink to give it a brighter hue.

Excellent pizza! The crust so delicious and slightly chewy great service and friendly people.

Great pizza excellent brownie not so great wings

Love the mushroom fortina pizza

Nice staff, delicious pizza.

Good food and service. I had some time to kill so I stopped by and ordered the supreme buns. They were good but I dont recommend eating the whole thing as an entree... The garlic gets overpowering. The confusing part about this place is that it has two doors - one for the cafe and one for the restaurant. It seemed like the locals/regulars knew which door to use but I did not.

A very long wait while there were empty tables in the back, the pizza was burnt underneath and around, tasted good though, waiter was polite

Nice pizza joint with good service.Known for serving president Obama in 2015.(He had the fortana pizza FYI)The garlic knots are good and the kale salad is the bomb.The pizzas are awesome and definitely a must visit.

The sausage and pepper pizza might be the best sausage pizza in Boston. The Fresno peppers make it spicy and sweet, the crust is top tier (possibly best in Boston) and the house made mozzarella is phenomenal.

Good pizza and friendly staff.

Pizzas and cocktails here are really good.

I have 3 words for you: supreme garlic knots... Ive eaten their pizza before and while I recognize that its really good quality and has many great attributes, I wasnt that impressed with the pizza and never really cared to have it again. (There are so many great pizza spots in Boston that theres no reason to eat pizza that doesnt make ya go Hmm) I did however fall in love with their garlic knots. The texture of the knots was chewy, crusty, and somewhat soaked. Some of these textures are missing in the pizza and really showcase how good their dough is. The addition of mozzarella and marinara sauce basically turns these garlicky dough angels into mini pan pizzas. I had them this evening and they were just as heavenly as the last time I was there. The friendly staff is always great and managed to be accommodating even during this difficult time experiencing pandemic. Thank you and please keep this knot thing a secret...

Area Four is number 1 in the illustrious Technology hub found in quaint Cambridge, MA.Great little eatery that has a fairly trim menu, which allows them to focus on quality & flavor. Some attractive small plates, wood fired pizza, & assorted entrees adorn the list of offerings.Of course, they have a small, but nice selection of craft beer that pair nicely with your favorite plate.I was fortunate to be in town for business for a few days, down by Kendal Square recently & decided I need a pizza fix. When I Googled the local area a few places made my short list, but after further discussion with a colleague, my attention was drawn to Area Four.During me initial visit I found the atmosphere to be bustling, but comfortable during the mid week dinner rush. Flying solo, I opted to sit at the bar & get acquainted with the tap offerings. My first selection was Rhode Island’s Proclamation IPA. Very familiar with the West Kingstown microbrewery start up, I was immediately pleased to find some local flavor.For dinner, the wood fired pizza was an obvious choice. Being a fan of anchovies, I set my sights on the small White Anchovy pizza for $16.00. Aside from the San Marzano tomato based sauce & Mozzarella cheese, the pizza was adorned with the requisite anchovies, green olives, capers, pecorino, & parsley.A lover of anchovies would appreciate this pizza, but folks who only mildly appreciate anchovies, would probably find this selection a bit offensive. I myself love anchovies, & appreciated the salty pungent attitude that this pizza delivers. The crust was just as expected of a wood fired pizza. Chewy with a nice char & very complimentary to the fresh house made sauce. A wonderful delivery receptacle for a great selection of toppings.The small pizza at $16.00, was an average sized pizza & perfect for one hungry fella or two picky folks who wish to supplement their drinking endeavors with a tasty bite.Overall, I was very pleased with Area Four & have gone on to recommend. I know I’ll back when opportunity presents itself.

Service and flair is amazing but the pizza was not really good - sorry :/

The margerita pizza is amazing and very close to pizza I had in Italy. The environtment is layed back and casual . A great place to get drinks with coworkers.

Quite literally the best in the city. I’ve been to so many restaurants in this beloved down and they all pale in comparison. I’ve celebrated birthdays and life achievements here and wouldn’t have it any other way! The quality is always spot on and of the highest class and the servers are knowledgeable and appropriately attentive. Go here now. Go here yesterday.

Great pizzas at a good price. Quaint place with good vibes, decent drink list, and good service. Make sure to try the garlic knots.

My favorite pizza in Boston 🤤

Came here for pizza with a friend - really, really great stuff. Apps and beers were great too. Surprisingly busy, but I guess it was during the dinner rush, so not much one can do about that. Ill def be back! Love the dough of their pizzas, great flavor development and balance of crispy/chewy crust

The Hawaiian pizza was dope!

Quaint and to the point. Wish they had warmer outdoor seating options but pizzas worth the wait.

I came here for a breakfast cinnamon roll with a friend, and when I came, there was quite a long line. The cinnamon roll was quite sweet and it wasnt hot, but after scooping a lot of the frosting off, it was better and not as sweet. It was a good portion for $3.47 post-tax. Theres plenty of space to sit for breakfast on a weekday, but I wish they had more outlets!

4 stars for food, docked two points for slow service, repeated mistakes with the order, and completely forgetting the home fries we ordered - where are those fries though...I heard they’re tasty. Maybe it’s because we were a group of 6 and gratuity was automatically included...?

Amazing pizza, excellent chewy, charred crust. I went with the white anchovy pizza. Between the capers and the olives, it was a little sour, but overall the flavors were great.

Fantastic pizza.
