Dragon Pizza, Davis
10 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/Somerville, r/boston15 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Dragon Pizza, and two point to its New York-style pizza; one thinks it is probably slightly better than Pinocchio's. One suggests starting with a weekday lunch margherita slice rather than a pie, one praises its toppings and dough fermented for a full day, and one likes the white slices. Caveats: two are negative, calling the cheese pizza poor or the place bad, one finds the plain slice good but the topped pies inconsistent and the specialty pizzas mediocre, and one notes the slice is heavy on Parmesan, which some people really enjoy.
