    My friends and I found this restaurant online during the Cultivate trade show earlier this month. The service was great. Friendly and welcoming. And the pepperoni pizza was the best I've ever had...I'm not kidding. Pepperoni. The small, round kind was perfectly crispy and the amount of cheese was just right. The sauce was excellent. I'd get it again and again! Great cheese curds too!

    Placed a delivery order; chicken salad, dry rubbed Cajun wings and a cheese dip. The food arrived very fast and was cooked to perfection! The only issue I had was the salad didn’t have enough vegetables in it, but what was there was fresh…I had to dr it up a little..Very tasty

    LarderRoom...Wing Wednesday calls for a Single Order of Hot Crispy Fried Wings from Boston's Pizza Restaurant & Sports Bar! The Wings were delicious but don't sleep on the 32oz (takeout container) full of the frothy beverage of your choice! Score! Staff was friendly! Easy walk to the Arena or Kemba Live!

    I really wanted to give this restaurant a 5 Star, but the pace of service knocked one star off. Our waitress was very nice and tried her best to accommodate the large number of tables in her area. The food was delicious! We were given excellent recommendations that were spot on. We will definitely return and hope to find the the extra star to give. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    There is everything for a sport bar. Food tasted not bad. Service was super friendly, Wi-Fi was fast and there were a lot of alternative live screens. Second time: I tried their veggie pizza. The dough was baked really good, but the toppings weren’t matched.

    I went here to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The food is alright and so are the drinks. But the prices are quiet expensive. But the quality is not up to the prices. I paid $16 for a small size pizza and $10 for a margarita. I would not go to this place again (maybe i will try a different pizza place)

    Staff was nice, service was fast and attentive. All of the food was amazing and they had a nice variety of options. Our server was really nice and talked to us outside of our order. The restaurant is conveniently placed downtown next to the Nationwide arena. Definitely reccomend and will be back.

    The food was good but our order was all messed up. They made it right. We likely wouldn't return because it was really pricey for what you get. $15 for 7 wings, $17 for a tiny 10" pizza. $14 beers. The waitress made us uncomfortable a handful of times. It wasn't intentional and I wouldn't want her to get in trouble so I'm not going to give details. Don't think we'll be going back anytime too soon.

    Halee is fantastic!!! Everything was great EXCEPT there was zero heat in the restaurant!! Turn the heat up a little bit to make your patrons somewhat comfortable.

    Our waitress was kind and helpful, especially considering we were there hours before a concert. The food was amazing, 100% recommend the pizza. This place is on my revisiting list for sure. Proximity to Nationwide Arena helps a lot, especially before events. Service was also very quick and there was plenty of room. Great for any age as well.

    So, me and two friends were enjoying an evening in downtown Columbus and decided to get something to eat; pizza was the general consensus! This location is conveniently located across from the arena and sits right on the corner. Upon walking inside we were quickly greeted by the hostess and opted to sit outside. Our server was a pleasant younger gal who was quite friendly and very familiar with the menu options. The beer menu is impressive, with a variety of microbrews, crafts, and more mainstream types. Ultimately, we decided upon a large plain pizza, which was intended to be divided among four people. Ultimately, the pizza was very satisfying, with a crisp crust and an even amount of cheese that paired well with the sauce. Overall, we were all impressed with the quality of the food as well as the service and would definitely return in the future!

    Pretty good, got in really quick. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I got the chicken and shrimp pasta. Tasty, but could have had more spice added. I'd get it again, after trying other menu items. All in all, we enjoyed our experience.

    Great place for a burger and beer before Jackets game. Service was very fast. Everything tasted great. Try the bacon wrapped steak appetizer. Could be a meal.

  • 4/5 Adrean J. 7 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Pizza is always great! My dad and I stopped after a Clippers game to enjoy a pizza and a beer. They had been really busy but we got there around 7 and were seated immediately. Our waitress however didn't show up for 15-20 min after we had been seated. It took 2 other servers to track her down. Once we placed our order and got our beer it was smooth sailing and the pizza was great. I got the margarita and my dad got the pepperoni and feta.

  • 4/5 Cate D. 3 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    Good service, my drink was strong. The food was quick and correct but not very flavorful. Maybe it's what I ordered? Would go back to try again!

  • 1/5 jevon t. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was done in ten mins took a photo gonna up load it. The burger looks like it was sitting I asked for med well, little bit of pink one onion ring cheese was melted like they threw it in a melt and forgot about it my first and last time coming to order a burger they might do pizza well but Red Robin does great burgers my honest thought up date as of 10-8-2021 if you look below I got a response did what they asked and nobody has gotten back with me so if you ever wanted my trust back you fully lost it

  • 5/5 Jeff S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and comfortable setting. Server (Blair) was exceptional and ensured we were aware of the menu items that fit our tastes. The pizza was amazing and the app platter was more than filling. The bar was sufficient and the combination of Ally and Haley made the visit enjoyable as well. Highly recommend you try this place out.

  • 5/5 dustin m. 2 years ago on Google
    Walked in during busy hours with USA vs crc soccer game happening. We were seated almost immediately, Blair our sever was very kind and her attitude and attention to detail was top notch. Not only did we get great service the kitchen staff really went for presentation. Food was beautifully plated and cooked to perfection. Pizza had the perfect crunch you would expect when eating good pizza. Will keep coming back for sure.

  • 4/5 Anthony A. 6 months ago on Google
    We didn't like our BBQ, ham, bacon, pineapple pizza but that doesn't mean the other pizza choices are bad. There are other options for food too. They were really fast which is what we needed that particular day. I will go back if I am able and try some other menu items.

  • 5/5 Jeanette H. 7 months ago on Google
    Skyler was our server and he was phenominal! Very attentive and went above and beyond during our time there. One of the best waiters we've had in a LONG time. The food was also great. 👌

  • 5/5 David G. 8 months ago on Google
    We were in town for a Cheers Competition, one place we went to we didn’t have reservations, kind of a bummer, had good reviews. But kids were complain I came across this place and we are glad we did. The waitress name Blair M she was outstanding, and so out going, and good recommendations of different food choices and she was so right. If I ever come back to Columbus, Ohio I will definitely check this place out and look for her.

  • 5/5 Rob A. 8 months ago on Google
    If you are coming to Nationwide or Huntington Park, this is the place to go. Haley our server was excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect for the game. Menu items for everyone from pizza to vegetarian items. Low reviews complain about the $$, don't judge. If you eat at the arenas you pay more, get less, and stand in line forever. This is the spot for pre- game. French dip and Italian were great!

  • 4/5 Danielle V. 8 months ago on Google
    In town for the weekend and decided to check out Boston in Columbus. Atmosphere was chill and not too loud. They also had a great patio. We started with Cactus Cuts which were basically house made chips with a yummy dip. We were fans for sure. Especially if you want a lighter app! We shared the Creamy Cajun Pasta with chicken, shrimp and sausage. Was really good but would have been better with andouille sausage. We sat at the bar and the bartender, Haley, was super nice and attentive. If we make Columbus a regular spot to visit, we’ll make Bostons a regular.

  • 5/5 Abbey B. 2 years ago on Google
    First off, Katie, our waitress, was amazing. We were headed to a Blue Jackets' game and she remained very aware of the timeline and made suggestions for food choices based on cook time and also advised us when we should complete our entree order because the restaurant was beginning to get busy. The food was sooo yummy, fresh, and the presentation was great - although I didn't see it for long because I pounded all of it within minutes. I would HIGHLY recommend Boston's for an evening downtown, whether it's for a hockey or baseball game, or just to go to a casual place with good food.

  • 5/5 Warness S. 8 months ago on Google
    Oh my goodness!!! Absolutely delicious!! I had the deluxe pizza and the wings. You don't need sauce with those wings. They are seasoned and cooked perfectly. I live in Cleveland. We were on the border of Cincinnati/Kentucky. I went to Boston Restaurant doing covid . It had started to improve. We were riding through Cincinnati. My grandson said, "Let's go to Boston Restaurant." If you are ever in Columbus. I suggest you go there. Delicious Food!!

  • 3/5 Dustin S. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was fine. We got a pizza burger (literally a burger wrapped in pepperoni pizza) with fries & these pizza twist bread sticks. Both sounded fantastic in theory, but they wound up tasting bland with far more breading than anything else. You definitely get your money's worth quantity wise but it was just too bland for me. Otherwise, the service was good, and the place very much leans into the sports bar aesthetic. Would be willing to give it a second chance but with so many other options in the area, it's hard to recommend as a dining experience.

  • 5/5 Katrina P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere.. Lunch before the Clippers game and ran into some Blue Jackets players! They were so kind to take a pic with us! Great times!

  • 4/5 Steve L. 11 months ago on Google
    We came here before a clippers game. It was lively, but not too crowded. We ordered drinks and appetizers. The service was a little slow, sometimes our waiter disappeared and we were left with empty mugs. The food was good although portions were a bit small. I will probably return before a game sometime.

  • 5/5 Kelsea S. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was excellent! We were a larger group and we didn’t have to wait long at all. We were able to order and received our food pretty quickly for how busy they were! We had 7 in our party and everyone got something different, and everything was amazing! Great place for great food!

  • 5/5 Joshua A. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place for a quick lunch. Good variety in pizza choices. Highly suggest checking out the lunch specials.

  • 2/5 Bret B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is decent and service is satisfactory, but the prices are incredibly too high. Ordered the smallest size pizza they have on the menu as I was not so that hungry and eating lunch with colleagues, and the cost was $15. Most restaurants are overcharging people because they are willing to keep paying the inflated costs. If the business declines they reduce prices to make them more reasonable again.

  • 4/5 Randall B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to meet friends and grab a bite! We met here before a show at Nationwide Arena. Super location because it's just across the street from the arena entrance. Took a while to get seated, but that's understandable considering the popularity and proximity. Great open atmosphere with views of the dining area and bar. Service here is second to none! And the pizza is superb! Lots of traditional and specialty options available. Highly recommend! Just be sure to allow some additional time to be seated. Enjoy!

  • 1/5 Jason R. 2 years ago on Google
    We waited over 20 minutes with zero service. I understand being short staffed, but not even acknowledged for 20 minutes is unacceptable. Worse yet is that half of the staff was not wearing masks despite a mandate to do so. We left and went to Ted’s.

  • 4/5 Patricia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went before a Columbus Blue Jackets game. As you can imagine, they were packed. Service was still great, and the food was delivered quickly. Nachos were good, but a little too done. Will try them again when they are not so busy. Our pizza Florentine was delicious. Will definitely go back.

  • 5/5 M S. 1 year ago on Google
    I went there for pizzas one evening. Both my buddy and I were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Service was great with a good selection of beers. It was good enough, that a larger group of us came back the next day for lunch. On that instance, I had what they call a Powerbowl. It was also surprisingly good. This place is well worth the stop.

  • 5/5 Claudia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean & super friendly staff. Props to our service, she was funny & on top of things. Super helpful when asked to split our bill the way we needed. I recommend the Cajun Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo pasta. Thanks for putting on the Celtic/Bucks game at the TV at our table. Great experience 👍

  • 5/5 Roselyn S. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of sitting with Bree today and had one of the nicest outings I’ve had since Covid started. The food was amazing my drinks were never empty my table was cleared during the meal leaving only what we were using. It’s nice to not have a cluttered table . I will be back I wish I could take her with me to every restaurant some people could really take a couple notes !
