Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Great pizza! Cute new cashier ;)

I ordered via Foodler and the order arrived within 45 minutes which was great. I customized a calzone and it was a great, but the tomato sauce that came with it which was cold. The 'parm crispy garlic bread' was more like a pizza and also COLD. Lastly the Caesar dressing that came with my salad tasted 'off' and I had a hard time eating it because the flavor wasn't right. Other than the Calzone, I was very disappointed. I only live a half mile away, there is no reason for things to be cold. I don't think I'll ever be ordering from here again.
(1)Steven R.
I picked up from here the other night. It's a really cool place and has a very chill ambiance. We thought the pizza was good, but not great, and it was pretty expensive. I'll give them another try next month though- it looked like they had some new employees working there.

Stay away! They tamper with food here and they put pork in their cheese pizzas. The first time I ordered from here (a year ago) I noticed the taste of sausage on my cheese pizza. After looking under the cheese for pieces of meat, I didn't find any, so I assumed that I was just tasting fennel or some other spice that reminded me of sausage. A few weeks ago I ordered a second time and tasted the same thing, but I reminded myself that it must just be the spices and shrugged it off. This was a mistake. Tonight I ordered the Verdure Pizza (a vegetarian pie that is clearly labeled as such), and after my second bite I spit out a piece of meat. I poked around on the pizza, and sure enough there were little bits of pork underneath the cheese (I've attached a picture). I now realize that I was indeed tasting meat on the last two pizzas, and that this isn't just a one-time accident. They must be getting their pizza sauce out of a pot that contains meat, which is really not cool considering they go out of their way to label some of their pizzas with a (V) for vegetarian. As a vegetarian it definitely grosses me out to think that I've eaten their pizzas, but I can get over it. However, for people who don't eat pork for religious reasons (a lot of people in my neighborhood), this is kind of a big deal. I immediately called Ecco Pizzeria and they didn't pick up (even though it was 45 minutes before their listed closing time), so now I'm without dinner. I certainly won't be ordering from here again. Edit: After writing this review I decided to eat the dessert pizza that I had ordered, since I was hungry without dinner. Right as I was about to finish it, I found a large hair coming from inside the white chocolate (I've attached a picture). When I pulled it out it was about twice as long as it is in the picture...absolutely disgusting. It seems like they were intentionally tampering with my food (for reasons unknown to me, since I tipped well on the past two orders). Someone clicked "Funny" on my review within a few minutes of it being posted, so I imagine it was an employee (who's browsing Ecco Pizzeria's Yelp page at 1am on a Tuesday night?). Stay away from this place. Edit 2: They've refused to refund me. That's right, they sent me a vegetarian pizza with meat on it and a dessert with hair baked into it, didn't pick up the phone when I called them (during business hours), and then refused to give me a refund the next day. Don't order from here unless you're okay with not getting your money back after having your food tampered with.

This rating is for both their customer service (huge plus) and there amazing pizza. First of all, they have soooo many different combinations that are original and refreshing. I ordered pick up and got a pizza that had steak, yellow and orange peppers, red onion, and maybe one other thing. It was do fresh and tasty, i almost had to remind myself I was eating pizza. The owner there is so kind, there was a mistake in the pricing and he ended up over compensating me a discount. He didn't have to do that, and I wasn't even asking for anything crazy, but just the way he handled that situation would make me want to support a business like that. I will definitely be back! And maybe eat inside, the place is so clean and new!
(5)Jenn S.
I actually feel bad that I cannot give them a higher star but obviously we are the only one who doesn't like their pizza? I ordered the Formaggio and it came as plain cheese with NO basil. The crust tasted extremely pre-cooked and was rubbery. The cheese was burnt in a few places too. We also ordered the Bistecca and had the same issue with the crust and it was just ok. Nothing that we would order again. I will say the best part of the whole meal was the Garden Salad. It tasted fresh and the dressing was so good. Lemony and light. The price was too much for what we ordered. I would like to give them a second chance but it won't be any time soon. Nothing is more disappointing than bad pizza when you are craving good pizza!
(2)Rachel P.
This is the best pizza delivery in Boston! Delicious pizza, fresh toppings, fast delivery. I'm a big fan of Ecco. The only thing is it's a bit expensive for pizza. I usually just get one pizza with a couple toppings and end up spending close to $30. I'm never quite sure why it's so expensive but it's so good that I don't really care. I wish they had a few more options on the menu in terms of apps, but definitely a great pizza place!
(4)Nicky F.
Went there a few times for a quick bite. They do not have a lot of choices for the slices to go (I believe they have cheese, pepperoni, and some special every day). They do have a good deal for the lunch combo $4 for a slice and salad. There are a few salad choices we can choose from. Favorite pizza? Hawaiin and the breakfast pizza. My roommate orders from them once every week.
(4)B.M S.
Not pizza Came here based on yelp reviews. Totally confused. Have you people never eaten pizza before? Because this was basically like being handed a microwaved cardboard box and being told it was pizza. It was gross. Flavorless, all ingredients looked wilty and sad, bread tasted stale and flat, it wasn't even visually appealing. YES, I have been unusually spoiled by living in New York (Roberta's.....it's more or less heaven if heaven was pizza). I felt so unsatisfied I considered calling DOMINOS after I got it home and took a bite. Yes really. It was that bad. NEWSFLASH hipsters, just because something is organic doesn't make it good quality. I've had "organic" poptarts, ok? Though Boston isn't rife with great food options, this is just a gimmicky waste. If your craving pizza and you see what comes out of this box, you may think what I did ...."that isn't even pizza."
(1)Divya B.
This place has never disappointed us. We have only used the delivery option though. Deliveries are always on time. Pizzas have been consistently great in taste and quality. Great options on the menu. I am as brand loyal to it as I am to my smart phone :) keep it up Ecco!
(5)Brandon F.
I seriously can't say enough good about Ecco. This place reminds me of some of the great casual pizza places of NYC, perfect thin crust, absolutely perfect sauce, cheeses and toppings. The Formaggio and Pollo alla Barbecue pizzas are both absolutely to die for, and their delivery is fast and cheap! This place is a true high-quality no frills pizza place that puts most of Boston's mediocre pizza to shame.
(5)Erica B.
Ecco pizza is absolutely an amazing restaurant. Not only is their food organic. The entire building and restaurant are LEED certified. As if that wasn't enough to convince me to go there on some sort of a regular basis, they even make the pizza somehow more Gastro-whatever-friendly. Amazing culinary job with the spices. Their milkshakes are mind blowing and draw me to their spot regularly. I absolutely recommend that you try anything that you want here, because I guarantee it's also good.
(5)Vicki H.
I ate here twice with my daughter while we were looking for an apartment. I could not believe it when a month had gone by and the owner remembered us! The best food and awesome menu options and the brick oven is spectacular. The recycling options are a huge plus. They deliver locally. Great prices. You have to dine here.
(5)Rachel L.
This has been one of my go-to delivery places, but it's definitely a splurge. And, unfortunately, I feel like it isn't quite as good as it used to be when I first started ordering here about a year and a half ago. Lately, the quality of the pizza seems to vary drastically based on the day, so you're never quite sure if you're going to get your money's worth. The expensive pizza is totally worth it on a "good" day; other times, not so much. They do have some good salads too, so you can pretend to be healthy by balancing out the pizza with one of those. But, again, the salads are pretty overpriced ($6.00 up-charge for a few tiny frozen shrimp? really?). Delivery is always quick, on time, and the delivery guys are always super friendly. A year ago I would have probably given this place 5 stars, but the quality has been slipping so much I can't justify spending the extra money compared to other pizza places, even though Ecco does use whole grain crust and organic sauce (woooo). Hopefully things improve again and it can go back to being my favorite pizza place in Boston!!
(3)Chase B.
They have the best Hawaiian pizza I've ever had in my life. Mostly because Ecco uses prosciutto, but the rest of the ingredients are all top notch. Perfection.
(5)M J.
This was our first time here on a Sunday afternoon when car shopping across the street at Herb Chambers (that's a separate review). The place was clean, friendly and had sustainable cutlery, recycling etc. We ordered a large margarita pizza and a garden salad. The food was very good even though the Italian dressing had a weird consistency to it. Lottsa take out orders and the chef (owner?) was busy. I would definitely stop by again and even requested the chef (owner?) to add beer and wine to their menu. They did have an ice cream/gelato section which we did not try. Also, did not try the pizze dolci (dessert pizzas).
(4)Priya D.
This review is for a delivery calzone. I was just plain exhausted one night and it was about 10p and just wanted something with cheese and bread. This was one of the few places delivering so I ordered after checking out the review. I was not impressed with the food. The calzone I got was just plain gross. It was burnt on the top (the dough was super thin and top and seemed far too thick and chewy, undercooked even at the bottom) and when I cut into it, it oozed water and liquid. The cheeses were a bit of a bizarre combination for my taste and overall it just tasted like the whole thing curdled. Adding a star for prompt delivery and the veggies I got in the calzone seemed pretty fresh and were plentiful throughout. Perhaps pizza is the real winner at this place? Don't know for sure but the calzone wasn't convincing enough for me to try again.
(2)Brad D.
Great whole wheat pizza. I only wish they delivered further. The crust was crispy on the edges, doughy in the middle. The herbs and veggies were fresh. The staff was very nice. The flavor was mild, but fresh.
(4)David W.
A little expensive, but very high quality and reliable. Extremely nice people working at the store and delivering - an easy experience. Late hours is a plus.
(4)Jennifer P.
Their pizza is phenomenal. The ingredients are extremely fresh and delish! I had the margherita pie and I added prosciutto. I also had a dessert pie (Nutella and white chocolate). Great pizza place!
(5)M F.
I'm so bummed to have to only give 1 star to this place because I was really excited to try it after reading all the reviews. Guess I'll have to treat myself to another celebratory dinner somewhere else. I got the bbq chicken pizza and I was thoroughly disappointed. Didn't like the bbq sauce and it wasn't worth the price. I had to force myself to eat barely 2 slices of the small pizza and I was sick of it. The staff was friendly, but I won't be back.
(1)Ashley A.
Where has this place been all my life? I ordered dinner from here the other day and I was absolutely blown away. We got the Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and were so impressed with how delicious it is. It was probably some of the best pizza I have ever tasted. On top of the food being amazing, I was so impressed with the delivery. The food arrived on time and hot, and the gentleman who delivered the food was so friendly! We will absolutely be ordering from them again!
(5)Regina P.
Be sure to try the Yummy Pollo alla Griglia and Mediterraneo! Walking distance from Boston U and affordable.
(5)Irene J.
i work at a restaurant so i hate leaving terrible reviews... but honestly this place literally sucks. the owner/guy who works there does not speak english...not helpful. blames it on the fact that they are busy... but ya'll are EMPTY SON... just save yourself the money, time, and energy... don't go here.... dont order here...just do not.
(1)Konstantin R.
It was N1 on Yelp, so I've decided to try. It is extremely overpriced and does not taste well. They also charged me $2 for extra cheese, which I didn't find in my pizza. This place for sure does not deserve to be N1 on yelp, if you want a really great pizza - try Regina
(1)Jarrett L.
So first off, the pizzas(at least the ones I ordered) were super expensive. Tough to justify the money for a barely above par pizze. It also took a while for them to have it ready.
(3)George M.
This is very excellent pizza. No doubt about it. Truly is as good as it gets. I'm worried they will go out of business... It is always empty! Great, gourmet pizza. A little extra money for perfection. Loving that fresh arugula and/or basil they give you to put on the pizza, too.
(5)Alex M.
Great service! The owner (i believe) has helped me both times i have been in and he was extremely friendly happy and eager to make sure i ordered what i wanted and was happy and satisfied with my order. Fresh food delicious pizza and milkshakes.
(5)Lynn P.
Ecco has good pizza. Period. Delivery came in a timely manner and gluten-free tasted like actual pizza. So excited that I found a delivery pizza place by my house. We also got a pepperoni pizza that was probably one of the best I have had. My roommate is going for her 5th and a half slice right now. A little bit on the pricey side of pizza but totally worth it! I would recommend this place for regular/ one-two topping pizza on a Friday or Saturday night. By the way a 9" GF and a 16" Pepperoni were good for three hungry female athletes. Will definitely order again!
(5)Ivan P.
Ordered Capreze Salad. Tomatoes were rotten. Very upset!
(1)Brett P.
I never review... But feel compelled to say, that given the glut of average places in Allston, this place is by far the best pizza in the hood. Each pizza is given attention and crafted with care. Organic, whole ingredients. Friendly staff that seem to be happy with life, another rare trait in the neighborhood. This will be my go-to pizza place from now on, even though there are 2 places on my block that are closer.
(5)Kate A.
I've ordered delivery from Ecco a few times, and I've been consistently pleased! The pizza is great--thin crust, gourmet, fresh ingredients--with a nice cheese blend and fresh sauce. The prices are so reasonable, especially for the quality of the ingredients. I always get artichokes on my pizza, and I cannot tell you what a nice surprise it was to receive a hot pizza with an abundance of fresh grilled baby artichokes on top. Best artichokes I've ever had, pizza topping or otherwise! The minestrone soup was delicious--packed with beans, noodles, cabbage, and other veggies, super thick, perfect for a snowy December evening. I also got a plain salad with Italian dressing. The dressing was delicious and obviously homemade. The same delivery driver has brought my food the past couple of times, and he is so sweet and happy, and always comes really quickly. I've been trying to find a good place for pizza delivery for years, and I'm thrilled to have Ecco as my go-to restaurant now!
(5)Michael C.
Great pizza! I ordered their buffalo chicken pizza which was just perfect. The crust was perfectly crispy and the combination of buffalo fried chicken, blue cheese, and ranch dipping sauce was enough to make me come back whenever I'm in the area.
(5)Angie G.
This place is on the whole pretty great. I love the fact that they use natural and organic ingredients, aren't hugely overpriced, and are generally friendly with fast/reliable delivery. I love the Pollo alla Griglia pizza and the pepperoni pizza. The garden salad, and the dessert pizzas are also great. I will say that they can be a bit inconsistent- maybe based on the chef? I've ordered from this place around 4 times. 2 of those times, it was amazing- the other two unremarkable but if you're in the mood for pizza and want to save some guilt by eating organic this is a great choice. Ecco Pizzeria for the win :)
(3)Victoria P.
AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD!!!!! The staff is beyond pleasant and the food has the best ingredients. Its a little pricy but totally worth it.
(5)Adrian S.
I really don't understand what all of the fuss was about. Maybe it was one of those things where everyone raves about a movie then you see it and it is nothing special? When I eat pizza, I am not overly concerned about the nutritional value of it. I normally wouldn't write a bad review but it is definitely expensive and was kind of disappointing. We got 2 different pizzas and both were subpar at best. Seeing other positive yelp reviews makes me think that they maybe had a bad night. I wish these guys nothing but the best but Ill stick to Reginas or Otto's if I am in that area.
(2)Frank M.
The reason for the two stars is I just don't feel it was worth the money. The dessert pizzas were pretty good....3 bucks....but my girlfriend and I had a calzone for 9 bucks....we were disappointed....the food was great just wasn't as much as we expected....I buy calzones for 9 bucks from Fillipous in rhode island and the calzones are the size of a medium pizza folded over....these....they were like a 6 inch from subway....I just feel it wasn't that great for the money...it wasn't filling at all....34 bucks it had best be filling....and 20 dollars for a large pizza....that's insane...so I think for the price we're not coming back except to order the dessert pizzas....then we'll order calzones from somewhere else...
(2)Ben T.
Ok... So, after years of using yelp, I finally signed up to write a review of Ecco. I grew up in New Haven Connecticut, home of some of the world's most famous pizza joints... Pepe's, Modern, Sally's and others have turned me into a lover of quality pizza. Ecco is quality. I am equally impressed by the taste of their food and their company ethics using wholesome ingredients that are prepared in a Eco-friendly environment. How much better can it get? Now the crunch... The crust is a classic crispy thin crust. Delicious! The chicken Italian sausage is awesome, and the bacon scallop pizza is fantastic. Coupled with friendly service, I am not going out on a limb at all by saying this is premier pizza in the hub.
(5)Sergio C.
So there I was on a bright sunny beautiful Sunday morning and I was starving and completely hungover. I wanted to get pizza, but I didn't want to feel fat and I had always seen Ecco while commuting to work on da B line. I decided to give them and try and I'm so happy I did. I got the four cheese pizza (it's got a fancy name) and a personal salad. I was surprised by just the pizza, which was amazing, but the salad as well which felt fresh and the dressing was delicious. The pizza despite being gluten free and what not was just good pizza, better than some other allston, bright and brookline locations in my opinion (and I live right next to Ottos and Uppercrust). Definitely planning on ordering again.
(5)Fay F.
It is very convenient. We order two half pizzas and they are as good as expected.
(4)Alli J.
Fantastic delivery. Ecco stands out with a yummy healthy pizza in a town with the worst delivery pizza on the planet. I ordered a margarita pizza and caesar salad at 11:30pm on Friday, got it under an hour later even though I had it delivered all the way to Cambridge at the last half hour before the restaurant closed. It was delicious and noticeably fresh.The small caesar salad was less impressive -- it was fresh with good cheese but untossed with mayonnais-y dressing. But who really cares how their salad is when the pizza is so good? This is my go to pizza delivery from now on. Thumbs up for the natural ginger ale as well!!
(4)Julia O.
Great pizza, friendly staff. And they have great gluten-free crust! Beware: the Diavolo pizza is PUNISHINGLY hot, but very delicious.
(5)Sean P.
Good pizza. Very friendly service. Only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is that they don't carry Coke or Pepsi.
(4)Sara M.
Delicious pizza. Thin, crispy crust, fresh and flavorful toppings, not greasy AT ALL. I got the Verdure Pizza, with artichokes, mushrooms and grilled red onions, very tasty. My only complaint is that I live in Cambridge and they're coming from Allston/Brighton, not a huge distance but by the time delivery came the pie was luke-warm, still delicious! Will order again.
(4)Shannon D.
Do you ever wake up after a night of drinking and think "This might be the end"? Fear not, I have two words for you. Breakfast. Pizza. AKA Uova For $6 you get a personal sized breakfast pizza with a perfectly cooked sunnyside-up egg and... bacon!!! Also ask for fresh basil to sprinkle on top. Its perfection, really. Nothing cures a hangover like a delicious breakfast pizza from Ecco! I've also had their canestrello pizza and pera salad - both were awesome! The service is friendly here and nice. It is a bit pricey and slower compared to the other surrounding pizza places but these are quality pizzas that use fresh ingredients which I really respect. After eating at other pizza places around Allston I end up feeling gross from the amount of grease and cheese I've consumed but never from Ecco. I don't think the breakfast pizza amazingness has caught on yet either because on Saturday's and Sundays when I've gone in around 12 its never been busy. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Braelyn G.
Super skeptical at first because A. I found this on Grubhub so naturally I associate greasy subpar foods with it, and B. the pizza I wanted was OVER $23. However, I decided to bite the bullet and I'm SO glad I did. Some of the best pizza I've had is pumped out of their kitchen! You guys can take my money any day, you make my tummy happy.
(5)Krista G.
Ordered takeout, and delivery was fast. I got a grande blue salad with chicken. Quite possibly the smallest salad I've ever seen with a very bland dressing. They apparently ran out of the soda I ordered and decided to substitute iced tea and a random soda instead. Delivery guy tells me maybe tomorrow they will have the soda I want and then laughs at his own humor. I had already paid online with a credit card so there wasn't anything I could do. Never again.
(1)Jessica L.
I'm a pizza fanatic and this is the best pizza ever! Get the formaggio and add toppings. If you don't like it, you don't really like pizza. My one suggestion: fill in the designer hole on top of the box to keep it warmer.
(5)Colin K.
Ecco is an environmentally-friendly, organic pizza place on Comm Ave a few blocks east of Harvard Ave. I ordered the pepperoni pizza a few nights ago for takeout. The staff was very friendly and offered fresh basil to go along with the pizza. Unfortunately, the pizza itself was underwhelming. My pizza was overcooked so the crust was pretty tough and crunchy. The sauce tasted fresh, but had a pretty muted flavor. The cheese and pepperoni were quality, but after one slice, I doused the pizza in basil and hots to give it a little more kick. A pepperoni pizza was $18, which seems reasonable for organic. But with all the options out there in Allston/Brighton/Brookline, I don't know if I'll be back.
(3)Catherine K.
Had pepperoni with gluten free crust - it was smaller than I expected, but SO good! The delivery guy was extremely nice as well. One of the best delivery experiences for a while.
(4)Patrick K.
So - I must admit, I have a biase to this place as I ama vendor for Ecco Pizzeria. However, I bring this up for two reasons. 1) It is this relationship tha tprovides me with unique insight to the nature of Ecco and 2) If you really think I am biased, go read some of my other reviews - I do business with a lot of places and have no problems trashing them if warranted. That being said, Ecco Pizzeria - first off, the Food. *Note the capital 'F' - well deserved. These pizzas are awesome. Half the time I go there to eat, and I order somethign witha bunch of ingredients that I don't even like - but I know it will come out awesome. I have yet to be disappointed! Everything is fresh, prepared just for you, and most certainly delicious. If you live in the area and haven't been there, well you are missing out. However, as I said, I have unique insight as I have had the pleasure of getting to know Steve, the owner. You might recognize him if you have been there, as I am pretty sure he sleeps there and never leaves. That is the kind of pride he has in his business. He is not a seasoned restauranteur, but he believes superior ingredients will create a great product which will carry his business - and he is right. I've spoken with him for over an hour with him telling me stories of how long it took to get his dough recipe just right, and how he would wake up at 3:30 in the morning to add an ingredient or something like that. All I am saying is that this is a business that is based on it's quality product - and a damn good one it is. Go say hi to Steve and get a great pizza while you are at it.
(5)James G.
Really great, quality pizza with great ingredients. There are actual herbs you can taste. The pizza from Bravo is fine when you're drunk, but this is quality, good pizza. I got the pizza of the day with bell peppers, spinach and fresh mozzarella
(5)Sarah D.
This is my new favorite go to pizza place. Me and my boyfriend ordered the Pollo Alla Griglia, and we both agreed it was hands down best pizza we've ever had! Completely full of flavor and not greasy, and to top it off organic. We also had the pizza delivered, and it took 30 minutes like they said it would. Definitely pleased!
(5)Bret C.
Solid pizza. It's not your traditional greasy neighborhood pizza, but rather a more upscale pizza (if such a thing can exist in Allston!). Nice staff and the best part was the space. It's sparkling clean, new, modern - and doesn't smell! Incredibly well done. We need more places like Ecco in the area.
(4)Clarese D.
Quality, price, as well as friendly staff and atmosphere make this place great. The veggies are fresh, and the pizza is just right (not greasy). Their $4 slice and salad special is such a great deal. In addition to the food I'm happy I found this place and I can't wait to go back to try something different.
(5)Caroline B.
Moved in across the street nearly a month ago, and tried it out with Boyfriend one night based on the good reviews. We got 2 pizzas, Pollo alla Griglia and Bianca-- both excellent!! The unexpected freshness of the arugula on the Bianca picked up the saltiness of the prosciutto and really sold me on it! Plus the crust!! I never eat the crust, but this stuff? Worth it and more. A few weeks later, my birthday rolls around. I had a borderline terrible day, and to top it off, Boyfriend had night class and couldn't be around for my birthday dinner :( I went across the street to get myself a Pollo alla Griglia --a pizza pie as a birthday cake. I had mentioned to the guy at the counter that it was my big day and that the pizza would be the best thing to happen to me. He sent me on my way with a Happy Birthday and told me my pizza was on the house. Ecco is exactly what I needed in a neighbor. Thanks, guys.
(5)Michael B.
The lunch special is definitely worth the value. The pizza is yummy. If you like a crusty crust with some chew to it than this is a place to try. The other pizza's on the menu look great. They have sunny-side up eggs as a topping! The décor and atmosphere is nice and the owner very friendly. I will go back.
(5)Jonathan Y.
The food is good and fresh made, which makes this place an easy "go to" establishment. I wouldn't say this is the best pizza I've ever had, but wouldn't hesitate to order from here. It's not greasy and again its fresh made. The owner seems like a really nice guy too who appreciates the business.

If I could give negative stars I would. This place used to be good until I placed an order on February 2 2014. The food was incredibly dissapointing for the price paid. My friends food was not fit for human consumption. When I called to complain, the person I spoke with did not want to accommodate us at all. After additional phone calls, the manager did call back and he said that he would refund our entire order to my Visa. Well here it is, February 19th, and I am checking the activity on my Visa. The total for our order was $19.25 - yet only $14.25 was credited back to my Visa. The missing $5 represents the tip - which they did NOT return to my Visa. In my book that is stealing. Why in the hell would these people think they deserve to keep $5 of my money when I was promised a full refund!?!?! And now I have to wait an entire week while the manager is on vacation to even start the process of getting my money back. THIS RESTAURANT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY - ORDER ELSEWHERE!!

I don't know whether it was because the restaurant was dead, or because it was cold outside, but I had a terrible pizza experience here. The sauce was bland and the crust soggy. Not going to return.
(2)Gabriel B.
I've had the formaggio and the margherita. They were both good, but the margherita is definitely overpriced. Also the crust is very thin. Some people may like that but I found it too thin for my taste. The delivery is quick and the people are OK. I didn't have any problems.
(3)Pat M.
Pretty delicious high-quality pizza. About as good as you could ask for considering the price, which is reasonable. Lots of crazy seafood options too which could possibly prove to be interesting
(4)k s.
Solid thin crust pizza with interesting options, bacon and eggs was excellent. My kids devoured the spinach and olive pizza. They also called to apologize that the delivery would not be early, only on time.

If you are looking for quality, delicious pizza with friendly delivery, this is it! I've ordered the pizza with artichoke and mushroom and was surprised on how fresh everything was! The artichoke is not canned artichoke but fresh grilled artichoke. I've also had the egg pizza with prosciutto and mixed mushroom and it was delicious! I love how they give you free fresh basil on your pizza. They also give you a lot of toppings! Also the sauce and cheese they use is terrific and I love how the pizza is not too salty. The crust is multigrain with a nice crunch. I am also happy that the delivery service is excellent. They are always on time and super nice and friendly. It's a little pricey but I feel like you get what you pay for. After trying many places in Boston/ Brookline this is my new favorite!
(5)David S.
Not impressed at all. pizza had weird flavor and was burned. would not recommend..
(1)donald s.
Great pizza..wow all natural I have ordered for my company 4 times and each time they are on point, perfect!! try any of the following: Formaggio (standard cheese pizza) Pollo alla BBQ Patate Salsiccia Steve is an owner there and is a nice man!
(5)David V.
The verdure pizza was fantastic. The delivery was on time. Also, one of the nicest delivery guys I've had.
(5)Matt S.
We ordered the Garden Salad and two calzones - Pepperoni with the Four Cheese Blend and the Sausage with Four Cheese Blend. Everything was excellent. The italian dressing on the salad was great and the calzone was so deliciously warm and tasty! I highly recommend this place!
(5)Steffen C.
Very decent pizza with a well-baked wholegrain crust. The owner and staff are friendly, relaxed, and open people. Their only competition in Allston for quality is Regina, but I rate Ecco higher because they religiously use only fresh ingredients.
(4)Valerie H.
Oh dearest Ecco pizza... I've only ever had your scrumtrulescent pizza with bacon,chicken,and red onions. I absolutely go to nom land and never want to come back. You've won my heart over from my pizza connoisseurness of being from NJ. And your delivery is rad too :-)
(5)Michael C.
ordered a bbq chix pizza through foodler pizza was great what drives the review is how accommodating the restaurant was. they were very friendly when i asked if they could change my order to delivery. Before i could call and mention they had forgot my extra topping they called me and had already put in a request to credit my account
(4)Thomas D.
I was born and raised in Boston, lived in LA, and traveled about Europe, before making my way back home. I like to think I understand food and the quality of its ingredients. There are a lot of white bread extra large greasy pizzas in this town and many that claim to use quality ingredients. No other pizzeria comes close to Ecco and I will not order pizza from anywhere else. In fact, when getting delivery, my Chinese girlfriend would never entertain the thought of pizza until she tried Ecco. I recommend the formaggio with green olives and fresh basil on the side (basil not put on the pizza until after cooked). If your looking for cheap unhealthy food in large quantities try pizza hut or dominoes. But if you're looking for something you'll thoroughly enjoy without feeling guilty and disgusting after, this is your place.
(5)Natasha K.
Ho.ly .poop. This pizza ruined my night. I was so pumped for some delicious pizza, but then this stale bread with basically no cheese, very little tomato sauce, and a ton of basil came... and now I'm bummed. And over pizza for at least a few months until I can forget this eating disaster ever happened. Note: this was a delivery... maybe it's less horrible at the restaurant. Edited two years later: I just saw that the owner responded to this review trying to make it right, etc. This was two years ago, so it's not that relevant now, but it is really nice when an owner cares so, upgraded to 2 stars!
(2)Melissa N.
We got Ecco delivered at my work. Cheese, pepper and caramelized onion, and mushroom. It was totally delicious, especially the mushroom. The cheese had a smokey taste, and it was cooked perfectly. I also love the eco friendly concept.
(4)Samantha L.
The best delivery pizza we have tried in Allston so far. It's debatably better than Pizzaria Regina, though different. The crust is much more well-done and thin, and the pizza is totally not greasy. The cheese is cooked and not oozey, and the four cheese medley is noticeably excellent. The delivery is often a couple minutes later then they estimate, but never too much later... it's worth the wait and just a good thing to know if you are timing the delivery. It's a little more expensive than some of the other places, but the toppings are better quality. The artichoke, mushroom and carmelized onion pizza and the pepperoni are our favorites. Also, note, they don't have a ton of other classic pizza delivery foods on the menu (like garlic knots, brushetta, pastas, etc.) but it's worth it for the pizza alone. They stop delivering at 11pm too, just an FYI, though I doubt the price range and organic twist makes it a favorite for the after 11pm set.
(5)Sally R.
Very nice staff and great pizza. It is across from my apartment so I went over and got one slice to try it out... it was so good that I went back the same night. They get their crusts from Clear Flour Bakery in Allston, and all the ingredients are organic. They sell organic drinks too, as well as ice cream and sorbet. The Blue Sky cola, which I'd never tried, was extremely good. I will be back.
(5)Andrew F.
The pizza was quite delicious, but I couldn't give this a higher rating because of the delivery service issues and the quality of the pizza I actually ordered. I ordered a large buffalo pizza, a 6' cinnamon bread pizza, and a soda at 8:22pm using grubhub (a website for ordering food online) and I gave specific directions to where my dorm is and the roads around it. At around 9:15pm I got a phone call from the delivery guy saying he couldn't find my dorm and wanted an address. I agreed to meet him outside, on the intersection of the closest two streets to my dorm, and he said he would be there in about 10 minutes. I ended up waiting out in the cold for almost 30 minutes for the guy to come. I paid the guy and he handed me one large pizza box and a paper bag (naturally I assumed the buffalo pizza was in the box and the 6' cinnamon pizza was in the bag with the soda. As it turns out the tiny cinnamon pizza was in the box and the delivery guy did not give me the buffalo pizza. I ended up calling the pizzeria to explain what happened. The guy on the phone was exceptionally friendly and accommodating and he sent the guy back with my buffalo pizza and a free cheese pizza (arrived around 10:20pm). Now here is the MAJOR issue with the service I got. They sent me the SAME hour and a half, stale, cold buffalo pizza they had forgotten with a fresh warm cheese pizza. The cheese pizza was delicious, but the cold buffalo pizza was unacceptable. I am very much disappointed I didn't get a reasonable pizza for what I paid for. TL;DR - I ordered some food, they forgot the pizza, they sent the driver back with the old, cold original pizza they forgot to give me with a delicious free pizza. The whole thing took about 2 hours and I never got to enjoy the food I actually ordered.
(2)Christina S.
I LOVE this place!!! The pizza is incredible, so many different options. The staff is also super nice.
(5)Leigh H.
This place is right next to my apartment building. I kept passing it and finally I decided to go in one night. It was actually really good! I just wanted a good old slice of greasy simple pepperoni pizza, and what I got was that and so much more! The crust was really great, crispy and airy and actually had flavor! The sauce was a spicy chunky tomato, really good, and they actually put fresh basil on top of the pizza for me. Will definitely be going back. Although I wish it weren't so pricy...The slices are BIG though, and still less than UpperCrust.
(4)Justin V.
I usually prefer the most awful of pizza because it's also the cheapest. I had some Foodler money to spend and since I live right behind Ecco I gots me a pizza and was like gosh darn! Crust was really good and the ingredients are really fresh/high quality. It was so good that I held off brushing my teeth as long as I could. It is pricey for a pie but the slices aren't that bad at under $3 which is how much slices typically are. I wish it was a little more affordable or there were deals/coupons but you can tell that making a pizza of that quality isn't cheap.
(5)Jake C.
I kept passing this place on the way home, but just stopped in for the first time. The grilled chicken pizza is insane. You can definitely tell that they use really good ingredients, and the crust was awesome too. If I weren't so full, I would walk back over and order another.
(5)Erin F.
I tried this place for dinner last night and was really pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I live a few blocks away and pass it all the time on my way to the grocery store, but had never really thought to stop in. My boyfriend and I shared the sausage and mushroom pizza, and it was plenty for both of us with leftovers. The pizza had thin crust, which I liked, and a good balance of sauce and cheese. I can't stand pizza that's overloaded with cheap tasting tomato sauce. This was really good, and the chicken sausage was delicious. The pizza wasn't at all greasy and I would definitely come back here in the future. However, the best part to me was the service. It's really easy to order your food and find a seat, and there's a condiment area with forks, knives, pepper, napkins, etc. where you can grab whatever you need. The man working at the counter, whose name I didn't see but I would guess is Steve the owner from other reviews, was awesome. He was going to each table just to check on everyone and grabbing extra napkins for them (despite the fact that they could easily get up and get it themselves), bringing us more water, making sure everything was to our liking. Both of us were really impressed with how friendly and caring he was. This place is great and I'd definitely come back!
(5)Peter G.
Great new pizza place. Had the scallop pizza, it was awesome. They also have a great Nutella desert pizza. Nice restaurant space too.
(5)K R.
Pepperoni mushroom. Fast delivery, great pizza. May trump Brookline spa.
(5)Nishant S.
Was drawn to it for the first time because of its sustainability theme but have been going back for a very unique pizza experience. The reason I love this place is because organic pizzas do taste different and they are good to have once a week or when you want to take a break from regular ones. I had cut one star because of the price. It taxes my student budget but had I been earning, I would have given it 5 star. The taste of pizza is great though the same cannot be said about the choice of beverages. I hope they can find better organic beverages. The vegetarian options are great in taste and leave a long lasting impression on your pallet. It is good even if eaten next day after microwave. If you can afford it and eat pizza twice a week, this should be your calling at least once a week.
(4)Andrew L.
Ecco Pizzeria is doing it right. I had the bianca pizza, which is prosciutto, asiago cheese, and arugula. If you've never tried this before, you absolutely have to try this combination of flavors. The flavor of the asiago, combined with the burst of saltiness in the prosciutto, then coupled with the texture of the arugula is such a pleasure to eat. The arugula was fresh and crisp-- the prosciutto portioned right-- and the crust adding the texture you need from pizza. AND its whole grain. I also want to echo people's opinion on the service, which is great. This place is so friendly and helpful and have their bases covered. When I ordered delivery (for the bianca, again) the arugula comes in its own container, which as steve pointed out, keeps the arugula from wilting. I most definitely will be back.
(5)Michael S.
I have never had a better pizza in my life and everyone there especially the owner steve were so friendly I reccomend that u visit Ecco pizza
(5)M R.
don't get delivery here if you want something edible. i called ecco asking why my pizza was 30 minutes late, and was notified that it had been out for delivery for 45 minutes...meaning, basically they stock the car with 100 pizzas and dont give a crap about whether your pizza has been lying around in a car getting cold for an hour or not. after i finally received my pizza, it was as expected: soggy everywhere but the crust, and lukewarm. disappointment!
(1)Fussy J.
great pizza. Great delivery. Great premise.
(5)Aaron L.
We came all the way from J.P. and it was worth it. This is not your everyday pizza place. These are carefully crafted circles of melted goodness on crust to die for. Really - this crust is special. We had the clam pizza and our friend Max who recommended it was right, it was unlike anything we've had before. Clams and bacon - two great tastes on one pizza! Even the plain cheese was terrific - calling it plain is a true misnomer. Did I mention the crust? Also- the staff is very friendly. All around, Ecco is a winner!
(5)Carolyn C.
Steve made an amazing Formaggio pizza tonight for a party I hosted and it was absolutely delicious! Who thought an organic whole wheat pizza could taste this good??! Everything was perfect - the crust was crispy and the perfect thickness, the cheese was vibrant and not at all greasy or rubbery, and the sauce tasted like it was handmade from scratch. And, on top of the great food, the employees are pleasant and attentive. I love this place!!
(5)Amanda D.
My first experience at Ecco was absolutely wonderful. The owner/manager greeted us, and upon being told that we had never been to Ecco before, took the time to explain many of their menu options and their restaurant philosophy to us. He was very solicitous and even brought us napkins and straws once we sat down to eat. We got the Verdure pizza, which has artichokes, onions, and mushrooms on it, and it was AMAZING. The best pizza I've had in a really long time. The soda they carry is made from pure cane sugar, which is awesome, and although we didn't have dessert pizza, those sounded delicious too. They also compost their garbage, and most of their accessories (straws, plates, napkins, etc) are biodegradable. The restaurant was spotless, sunny, and open, which was great -- it was a lovely environment in which to sit down and enjoy our pizza. Sure, the prices are a little high, but for what you get it's well worth it. I definitely recommend Ecco and will be going back soon!
(5)Samantha S.
So good! I got the patate pizza and blu salad, both were amazing!! So delicious. Also, the delivery was quicker than expected, the delivery man was super friendly and even brought fresh basil. He also re-read the order to make sure I had everything I needed, which I did! I will definitely be ordering from here again....and again...
(5)El G.
Currently holding the crown for best pizza in Allston/Brighton. Amazing!
(5)Shawn W.
Very good pizza! This place opened not too long ago and it is really good. The staff is really friendly as well. You can tell that the pizza is made with high quality ingredients. We got the cheese pizza (called something else, but I can't remember the actual name) and brought it home. It looks like they use three different cheeses and put just the right amount of sauce on it. The crust was really good as well, I believe it was whole wheat and it had great flavor! I didn't try the ice cream, but I may next time. My only problem is the price. I understand that the quality is high, but paying $13 for a typical medium sized pizza is a little steep. However, I will be going back, but not as often as I like. Overall, I recommend this place if you want a great tasting pizza.
(4)ina U.
The pizza is de-lish!! It's been soo good everytime I purchased it. One time, out of the many it took a little long, the next day I'm assuming the manager, called to apologize. I was impressed. Mistakes happend and they owned it. So I still love it!!!
(5)Leila S.
Awesome lunch special and food is great. Everything is healthy and fresh.
(5)Dave U.
High-quality, delicious ingredients. Might find it a little pricey but it's worth it, you get what you pay for. Go for the standard cheese or pepperoni if you wanna play it safe, you'll still be satisfied. Definitely try the breakfast pizza with fried eggs and bacon, it's unreal. I love the prosciutto they use and I'm dying to try the bacon and clam pizza. And the owner Steve is a great guy, bonus for that.
(4)Andrea K.
Finally a GREAT pizza in the neighborhood. I am very fussy when it comes to pizza. The Formaggio (cheese) was heavenly. All natural and fresh. It's been a long time since I had a pizza I could rave about. A little more pricey but as they say... "You get what you pay for" and in this case it's so true. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
(5)Mei C.
Their handcrafted pizzas are delicious. The cashier is very nice and attentive. I customized my own pizza and it still tastes very good after I waited for 30 minutes.
(5)Jack B.
This place has delicious pizza and a really nice staff. I had the Pollo alla Griglia pizza, and it was awesome. Definitely going back here. It would be nice if they served beer, I would be much more likely to stay and eat there if they did.
(5)Justin R.
Best pizza in Allston by far. I've been here twice and it's now my go-to pizza joint in the neighborhood. I've ordered the Pollo Alla Griglia and both times, the owner of the place has come out, said hello, and offered me fresh basil. It's a very nice touch and the pizza is absolutely delicious. I can't recommend this place any more highly.
(5)Amy L.
So far, a great pizza in Boston. I particularly recommend the Salsciccia pizza -- they do something to their mushrooms that give the pizza a really great, earthy flavor. And the crust is excellent. Also, the service is very friendly. So far, I haven't found better pizza in the Boston area -- this definitely is heads and shoulders above Naked Pizza (what a disappointment).
(4)Natalie K.
Hands down THE BEST pizza place in the area!!!! If you like Mediterranean style pizza, with fresh toppings, thin crust, and lots of flavor - this is IT. We've tried almost every other place in the area, and there's some decent ones. But this one goes well beyond decent. It's simply GREAT! Fresh, tasty, perfect. This is becoming our regular go to place for our biweekly pizza night. We used to alternate between places we liked and trying out new places, but I this place is so good, we feel no need to continue searching!!! Our only wish - that they had a few more vegetarian options on their specialty pizza list. But the ones they have are so good, we're fine with just having those over and over again.
(5)Ted H.
Very, very good pizza. As good as you will find in the Boston area. You won't be disappointed. Very friendly staff. Quality ingredients. A tad pricy, but worth it. I will definitely be back.
(5)I H.
We gave this new pizzeria at try and it was so good that it inspired me to write my first review. I wasn't sure what whole grain crust would be like, but everyone liked it and both pizzas we ordered were delicious. We had a regular pizza and one with artichokes and mushrooms. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. We also had the salad with pears and walnuts, which was quite tasty. I liked how all the utensils and plates are compostable. I had never heard of Blue Sky root beer, but it was really good too!
(5)Dan K.
Great pizza place! The crust is really good and all the ingredients are super fresh and flavorful. They also pay attention to the details like homemade croutons on the salad and a touch of orange zest on the shrimp pesto pizza. It's more expensive than most pizza places, but it's worth it!
(5)Jenny C.
amazing crust. trendy and fun decor. just tried a large cheese, but can't wait to try all the other combinations. nicely done. I'll be back. maybe tonight.
(5)Bob M.
Stay away! They tamper with food here and they put pork in their cheese pizzas. The first time I ordered from here (a year ago) I noticed the taste of sausage on my cheese pizza. After looking under the cheese for pieces of meat, I didn't find any, so I assumed that I was just tasting fennel or some other spice that reminded me of sausage. A few weeks ago I ordered a second time and tasted the same thing, but I reminded myself that it must just be the spices and shrugged it off. This was a mistake. Tonight I ordered the Verdure Pizza (a vegetarian pie that is clearly labeled as such), and after my second bite I spit out a piece of meat. I poked around on the pizza, and sure enough there were little bits of pork underneath the cheese (I've attached a picture). I now realize that I was indeed tasting meat on the last two pizzas, and that this isn't just a one-time accident. They must be getting their pizza sauce out of a pot that contains meat, which is really not cool considering they go out of their way to label some of their pizzas with a (V) for vegetarian. As a vegetarian it definitely grosses me out to think that I've eaten their pizzas, but I can get over it. However, for people who don't eat pork for religious reasons (a lot of people in my neighborhood), this is kind of a big deal. I immediately called Ecco Pizzeria and they didn't pick up (even though it was 45 minutes before their listed closing time), so now I'm without dinner. I certainly won't be ordering from here again. Edit: After writing this review I decided to eat the dessert pizza that I had ordered, since I was hungry without dinner. Right as I was about to finish it, I found a large hair coming from inside the white chocolate (I've attached a picture). When I pulled it out it was about twice as long as it is in the picture...absolutely disgusting. It seems like they were intentionally tampering with my food (for reasons unknown to me, since I tipped well on the past two orders). Someone clicked "Funny" on my review within a few minutes of it being posted, so I imagine it was an employee (who's browsing Ecco Pizzeria's Yelp page at 1am on a Tuesday night?). Stay away from this place. Edit 2: They've refused to refund me. That's right, they sent me a vegetarian pizza with meat on it and a dessert with hair baked into it, didn't pick up the phone when I called them (during business hours), and then refused to give me a refund the next day. Don't order from here unless you're okay with not getting your money back after having your food tampered with.
(1)Emily A.
This rating is for both their customer service (huge plus) and there amazing pizza. First of all, they have soooo many different combinations that are original and refreshing. I ordered pick up and got a pizza that had steak, yellow and orange peppers, red onion, and maybe one other thing. It was do fresh and tasty, i almost had to remind myself I was eating pizza. The owner there is so kind, there was a mistake in the pricing and he ended up over compensating me a discount. He didn't have to do that, and I wasn't even asking for anything crazy, but just the way he handled that situation would make me want to support a business like that. I will definitely be back! And maybe eat inside, the place is so clean and new!
(5)Jenn S.
I actually feel bad that I cannot give them a higher star but obviously we are the only one who doesn't like their pizza? I ordered the Formaggio and it came as plain cheese with NO basil. The crust tasted extremely pre-cooked and was rubbery. The cheese was burnt in a few places too. We also ordered the Bistecca and had the same issue with the crust and it was just ok. Nothing that we would order again. I will say the best part of the whole meal was the Garden Salad. It tasted fresh and the dressing was so good. Lemony and light. The price was too much for what we ordered. I would like to give them a second chance but it won't be any time soon. Nothing is more disappointing than bad pizza when you are craving good pizza!
(2)Rachel P.
This is the best pizza delivery in Boston! Delicious pizza, fresh toppings, fast delivery. I'm a big fan of Ecco. The only thing is it's a bit expensive for pizza. I usually just get one pizza with a couple toppings and end up spending close to $30. I'm never quite sure why it's so expensive but it's so good that I don't really care. I wish they had a few more options on the menu in terms of apps, but definitely a great pizza place!
(4)Nicky F.
Went there a few times for a quick bite. They do not have a lot of choices for the slices to go (I believe they have cheese, pepperoni, and some special every day). They do have a good deal for the lunch combo $4 for a slice and salad. There are a few salad choices we can choose from. Favorite pizza? Hawaiin and the breakfast pizza. My roommate orders from them once every week.
(4)B.M S.
Not pizza Came here based on yelp reviews. Totally confused. Have you people never eaten pizza before? Because this was basically like being handed a microwaved cardboard box and being told it was pizza. It was gross. Flavorless, all ingredients looked wilty and sad, bread tasted stale and flat, it wasn't even visually appealing. YES, I have been unusually spoiled by living in New York (Roberta's.....it's more or less heaven if heaven was pizza). I felt so unsatisfied I considered calling DOMINOS after I got it home and took a bite. Yes really. It was that bad. NEWSFLASH hipsters, just because something is organic doesn't make it good quality. I've had "organic" poptarts, ok? Though Boston isn't rife with great food options, this is just a gimmicky waste. If your craving pizza and you see what comes out of this box, you may think what I did ...."that isn't even pizza."
(1)Divya B.
This place has never disappointed us. We have only used the delivery option though. Deliveries are always on time. Pizzas have been consistently great in taste and quality. Great options on the menu. I am as brand loyal to it as I am to my smart phone :) keep it up Ecco!
(5)Brandon F.
I seriously can't say enough good about Ecco. This place reminds me of some of the great casual pizza places of NYC, perfect thin crust, absolutely perfect sauce, cheeses and toppings. The Formaggio and Pollo alla Barbecue pizzas are both absolutely to die for, and their delivery is fast and cheap! This place is a true high-quality no frills pizza place that puts most of Boston's mediocre pizza to shame.
(5)Priya D.
This review is for a delivery calzone. I was just plain exhausted one night and it was about 10p and just wanted something with cheese and bread. This was one of the few places delivering so I ordered after checking out the review. I was not impressed with the food. The calzone I got was just plain gross. It was burnt on the top (the dough was super thin and top and seemed far too thick and chewy, undercooked even at the bottom) and when I cut into it, it oozed water and liquid. The cheeses were a bit of a bizarre combination for my taste and overall it just tasted like the whole thing curdled. Adding a star for prompt delivery and the veggies I got in the calzone seemed pretty fresh and were plentiful throughout. Perhaps pizza is the real winner at this place? Don't know for sure but the calzone wasn't convincing enough for me to try again.
(2)Brad D.
Great whole wheat pizza. I only wish they delivered further. The crust was crispy on the edges, doughy in the middle. The herbs and veggies were fresh. The staff was very nice. The flavor was mild, but fresh.
(4)David W.
A little expensive, but very high quality and reliable. Extremely nice people working at the store and delivering - an easy experience. Late hours is a plus.
(4)Jennifer P.
Their pizza is phenomenal. The ingredients are extremely fresh and delish! I had the margherita pie and I added prosciutto. I also had a dessert pie (Nutella and white chocolate). Great pizza place!
(5)M F.
I'm so bummed to have to only give 1 star to this place because I was really excited to try it after reading all the reviews. Guess I'll have to treat myself to another celebratory dinner somewhere else. I got the bbq chicken pizza and I was thoroughly disappointed. Didn't like the bbq sauce and it wasn't worth the price. I had to force myself to eat barely 2 slices of the small pizza and I was sick of it. The staff was friendly, but I won't be back.
(1)Ashley A.
Where has this place been all my life? I ordered dinner from here the other day and I was absolutely blown away. We got the Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and were so impressed with how delicious it is. It was probably some of the best pizza I have ever tasted. On top of the food being amazing, I was so impressed with the delivery. The food arrived on time and hot, and the gentleman who delivered the food was so friendly! We will absolutely be ordering from them again!
(5)Regina P.
Be sure to try the Yummy Pollo alla Griglia and Mediterraneo! Walking distance from Boston U and affordable.
(5)Irene J.
i work at a restaurant so i hate leaving terrible reviews... but honestly this place literally sucks. the owner/guy who works there does not speak english...not helpful. blames it on the fact that they are busy... but ya'll are EMPTY SON... just save yourself the money, time, and energy... don't go here.... dont order here...just do not.
(1)Konstantin R.
It was N1 on Yelp, so I've decided to try. It is extremely overpriced and does not taste well. They also charged me $2 for extra cheese, which I didn't find in my pizza. This place for sure does not deserve to be N1 on yelp, if you want a really great pizza - try Regina
(1)Jarrett L.
So first off, the pizzas(at least the ones I ordered) were super expensive. Tough to justify the money for a barely above par pizze. It also took a while for them to have it ready.
(3)George M.
This is very excellent pizza. No doubt about it. Truly is as good as it gets. I'm worried they will go out of business... It is always empty! Great, gourmet pizza. A little extra money for perfection. Loving that fresh arugula and/or basil they give you to put on the pizza, too.
(5)Alex M.
Great service! The owner (i believe) has helped me both times i have been in and he was extremely friendly happy and eager to make sure i ordered what i wanted and was happy and satisfied with my order. Fresh food delicious pizza and milkshakes.

Ecco has good pizza. Period. Delivery came in a timely manner and gluten-free tasted like actual pizza. So excited that I found a delivery pizza place by my house. We also got a pepperoni pizza that was probably one of the best I have had. My roommate is going for her 5th and a half slice right now. A little bit on the pricey side of pizza but totally worth it! I would recommend this place for regular/ one-two topping pizza on a Friday or Saturday night. By the way a 9" GF and a 16" Pepperoni were good for three hungry female athletes. Will definitely order again!

Ordered Capreze Salad. Tomatoes were rotten. Very upset!

I never review... But feel compelled to say, that given the glut of average places in Allston, this place is by far the best pizza in the hood. Each pizza is given attention and crafted with care. Organic, whole ingredients. Friendly staff that seem to be happy with life, another rare trait in the neighborhood. This will be my go-to pizza place from now on, even though there are 2 places on my block that are closer.

I've ordered delivery from Ecco a few times, and I've been consistently pleased! The pizza is great--thin crust, gourmet, fresh ingredients--with a nice cheese blend and fresh sauce. The prices are so reasonable, especially for the quality of the ingredients. I always get artichokes on my pizza, and I cannot tell you what a nice surprise it was to receive a hot pizza with an abundance of fresh grilled baby artichokes on top. Best artichokes I've ever had, pizza topping or otherwise! The minestrone soup was delicious--packed with beans, noodles, cabbage, and other veggies, super thick, perfect for a snowy December evening. I also got a plain salad with Italian dressing. The dressing was delicious and obviously homemade. The same delivery driver has brought my food the past couple of times, and he is so sweet and happy, and always comes really quickly. I've been trying to find a good place for pizza delivery for years, and I'm thrilled to have Ecco as my go-to restaurant now!

Great pizza! I ordered their buffalo chicken pizza which was just perfect. The crust was perfectly crispy and the combination of buffalo fried chicken, blue cheese, and ranch dipping sauce was enough to make me come back whenever I'm in the area.
(5)Angie G.
This place is on the whole pretty great. I love the fact that they use natural and organic ingredients, aren't hugely overpriced, and are generally friendly with fast/reliable delivery. I love the Pollo alla Griglia pizza and the pepperoni pizza. The garden salad, and the dessert pizzas are also great. I will say that they can be a bit inconsistent- maybe based on the chef? I've ordered from this place around 4 times. 2 of those times, it was amazing- the other two unremarkable but if you're in the mood for pizza and want to save some guilt by eating organic this is a great choice. Ecco Pizzeria for the win :)
(3)Victoria P.
AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD!!!!! The staff is beyond pleasant and the food has the best ingredients. Its a little pricy but totally worth it.
(5)Adrian S.
I really don't understand what all of the fuss was about. Maybe it was one of those things where everyone raves about a movie then you see it and it is nothing special? When I eat pizza, I am not overly concerned about the nutritional value of it. I normally wouldn't write a bad review but it is definitely expensive and was kind of disappointing. We got 2 different pizzas and both were subpar at best. Seeing other positive yelp reviews makes me think that they maybe had a bad night. I wish these guys nothing but the best but Ill stick to Reginas or Otto's if I am in that area.
(2)Frank M.
The reason for the two stars is I just don't feel it was worth the money. The dessert pizzas were pretty good....3 bucks....but my girlfriend and I had a calzone for 9 bucks....we were disappointed....the food was great just wasn't as much as we expected....I buy calzones for 9 bucks from Fillipous in rhode island and the calzones are the size of a medium pizza folded over....these....they were like a 6 inch from subway....I just feel it wasn't that great for the money...it wasn't filling at all....34 bucks it had best be filling....and 20 dollars for a large pizza....that's insane...so I think for the price we're not coming back except to order the dessert pizzas....then we'll order calzones from somewhere else...

Ok... So, after years of using yelp, I finally signed up to write a review of Ecco. I grew up in New Haven Connecticut, home of some of the world's most famous pizza joints... Pepe's, Modern, Sally's and others have turned me into a lover of quality pizza. Ecco is quality. I am equally impressed by the taste of their food and their company ethics using wholesome ingredients that are prepared in a Eco-friendly environment. How much better can it get? Now the crunch... The crust is a classic crispy thin crust. Delicious! The chicken Italian sausage is awesome, and the bacon scallop pizza is fantastic. Coupled with friendly service, I am not going out on a limb at all by saying this is premier pizza in the hub.
(5)Sergio C.
So there I was on a bright sunny beautiful Sunday morning and I was starving and completely hungover. I wanted to get pizza, but I didn't want to feel fat and I had always seen Ecco while commuting to work on da B line. I decided to give them and try and I'm so happy I did. I got the four cheese pizza (it's got a fancy name) and a personal salad. I was surprised by just the pizza, which was amazing, but the salad as well which felt fresh and the dressing was delicious. The pizza despite being gluten free and what not was just good pizza, better than some other allston, bright and brookline locations in my opinion (and I live right next to Ottos and Uppercrust). Definitely planning on ordering again.
(5)Fay F.
It is very convenient. We order two half pizzas and they are as good as expected.
(4)Alli J.
Fantastic delivery. Ecco stands out with a yummy healthy pizza in a town with the worst delivery pizza on the planet. I ordered a margarita pizza and caesar salad at 11:30pm on Friday, got it under an hour later even though I had it delivered all the way to Cambridge at the last half hour before the restaurant closed. It was delicious and noticeably fresh.The small caesar salad was less impressive -- it was fresh with good cheese but untossed with mayonnais-y dressing. But who really cares how their salad is when the pizza is so good? This is my go to pizza delivery from now on. Thumbs up for the natural ginger ale as well!!
(4)Julia O.
Great pizza, friendly staff. And they have great gluten-free crust! Beware: the Diavolo pizza is PUNISHINGLY hot, but very delicious.
(5)Sean P.
Good pizza. Very friendly service. Only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is that they don't carry Coke or Pepsi.
(4)Shannon D.
Do you ever wake up after a night of drinking and think "This might be the end"? Fear not, I have two words for you. Breakfast. Pizza. AKA Uova For $6 you get a personal sized breakfast pizza with a perfectly cooked sunnyside-up egg and... bacon!!! Also ask for fresh basil to sprinkle on top. Its perfection, really. Nothing cures a hangover like a delicious breakfast pizza from Ecco! I've also had their canestrello pizza and pera salad - both were awesome! The service is friendly here and nice. It is a bit pricey and slower compared to the other surrounding pizza places but these are quality pizzas that use fresh ingredients which I really respect. After eating at other pizza places around Allston I end up feeling gross from the amount of grease and cheese I've consumed but never from Ecco. I don't think the breakfast pizza amazingness has caught on yet either because on Saturday's and Sundays when I've gone in around 12 its never been busy. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Braelyn G.
Super skeptical at first because A. I found this on Grubhub so naturally I associate greasy subpar foods with it, and B. the pizza I wanted was OVER $23. However, I decided to bite the bullet and I'm SO glad I did. Some of the best pizza I've had is pumped out of their kitchen! You guys can take my money any day, you make my tummy happy.
(5)Krista G.
Ordered takeout, and delivery was fast. I got a grande blue salad with chicken. Quite possibly the smallest salad I've ever seen with a very bland dressing. They apparently ran out of the soda I ordered and decided to substitute iced tea and a random soda instead. Delivery guy tells me maybe tomorrow they will have the soda I want and then laughs at his own humor. I had already paid online with a credit card so there wasn't anything I could do. Never again.
(1)Jessica L.
I'm a pizza fanatic and this is the best pizza ever! Get the formaggio and add toppings. If you don't like it, you don't really like pizza. My one suggestion: fill in the designer hole on top of the box to keep it warmer.
(5)Colin K.
Ecco is an environmentally-friendly, organic pizza place on Comm Ave a few blocks east of Harvard Ave. I ordered the pepperoni pizza a few nights ago for takeout. The staff was very friendly and offered fresh basil to go along with the pizza. Unfortunately, the pizza itself was underwhelming. My pizza was overcooked so the crust was pretty tough and crunchy. The sauce tasted fresh, but had a pretty muted flavor. The cheese and pepperoni were quality, but after one slice, I doused the pizza in basil and hots to give it a little more kick. A pepperoni pizza was $18, which seems reasonable for organic. But with all the options out there in Allston/Brighton/Brookline, I don't know if I'll be back.
(3)Catherine K.
Had pepperoni with gluten free crust - it was smaller than I expected, but SO good! The delivery guy was extremely nice as well. One of the best delivery experiences for a while.
(4)Sara M.
Delicious pizza. Thin, crispy crust, fresh and flavorful toppings, not greasy AT ALL. I got the Verdure Pizza, with artichokes, mushrooms and grilled red onions, very tasty. My only complaint is that I live in Cambridge and they're coming from Allston/Brighton, not a huge distance but by the time delivery came the pie was luke-warm, still delicious! Will order again.
(4)Patrick K.
So - I must admit, I have a biase to this place as I ama vendor for Ecco Pizzeria. However, I bring this up for two reasons. 1) It is this relationship tha tprovides me with unique insight to the nature of Ecco and 2) If you really think I am biased, go read some of my other reviews - I do business with a lot of places and have no problems trashing them if warranted. That being said, Ecco Pizzeria - first off, the Food. *Note the capital 'F' - well deserved. These pizzas are awesome. Half the time I go there to eat, and I order somethign witha bunch of ingredients that I don't even like - but I know it will come out awesome. I have yet to be disappointed! Everything is fresh, prepared just for you, and most certainly delicious. If you live in the area and haven't been there, well you are missing out. However, as I said, I have unique insight as I have had the pleasure of getting to know Steve, the owner. You might recognize him if you have been there, as I am pretty sure he sleeps there and never leaves. That is the kind of pride he has in his business. He is not a seasoned restauranteur, but he believes superior ingredients will create a great product which will carry his business - and he is right. I've spoken with him for over an hour with him telling me stories of how long it took to get his dough recipe just right, and how he would wake up at 3:30 in the morning to add an ingredient or something like that. All I am saying is that this is a business that is based on it's quality product - and a damn good one it is. Go say hi to Steve and get a great pizza while you are at it.
(5)James G.
Really great, quality pizza with great ingredients. There are actual herbs you can taste. The pizza from Bravo is fine when you're drunk, but this is quality, good pizza. I got the pizza of the day with bell peppers, spinach and fresh mozzarella
(5)Sarah D.
This is my new favorite go to pizza place. Me and my boyfriend ordered the Pollo Alla Griglia, and we both agreed it was hands down best pizza we've ever had! Completely full of flavor and not greasy, and to top it off organic. We also had the pizza delivered, and it took 30 minutes like they said it would. Definitely pleased!
(5)Bret C.
Solid pizza. It's not your traditional greasy neighborhood pizza, but rather a more upscale pizza (if such a thing can exist in Allston!). Nice staff and the best part was the space. It's sparkling clean, new, modern - and doesn't smell! Incredibly well done. We need more places like Ecco in the area.
(4)Clarese D.
Quality, price, as well as friendly staff and atmosphere make this place great. The veggies are fresh, and the pizza is just right (not greasy). Their $4 slice and salad special is such a great deal. In addition to the food I'm happy I found this place and I can't wait to go back to try something different.
(5)Caroline B.
Moved in across the street nearly a month ago, and tried it out with Boyfriend one night based on the good reviews. We got 2 pizzas, Pollo alla Griglia and Bianca-- both excellent!! The unexpected freshness of the arugula on the Bianca picked up the saltiness of the prosciutto and really sold me on it! Plus the crust!! I never eat the crust, but this stuff? Worth it and more. A few weeks later, my birthday rolls around. I had a borderline terrible day, and to top it off, Boyfriend had night class and couldn't be around for my birthday dinner :( I went across the street to get myself a Pollo alla Griglia --a pizza pie as a birthday cake. I had mentioned to the guy at the counter that it was my big day and that the pizza would be the best thing to happen to me. He sent me on my way with a Happy Birthday and told me my pizza was on the house. Ecco is exactly what I needed in a neighbor. Thanks, guys.
(5)Michael B.
The lunch special is definitely worth the value. The pizza is yummy. If you like a crusty crust with some chew to it than this is a place to try. The other pizza's on the menu look great. They have sunny-side up eggs as a topping! The décor and atmosphere is nice and the owner very friendly. I will go back.
(5)Jonathan Y.
The food is good and fresh made, which makes this place an easy "go to" establishment. I wouldn't say this is the best pizza I've ever had, but wouldn't hesitate to order from here. It's not greasy and again its fresh made. The owner seems like a really nice guy too who appreciates the business.
(4)David V.
The verdure pizza was fantastic. The delivery was on time. Also, one of the nicest delivery guys I've had.
(5)Matt S.
We ordered the Garden Salad and two calzones - Pepperoni with the Four Cheese Blend and the Sausage with Four Cheese Blend. Everything was excellent. The italian dressing on the salad was great and the calzone was so deliciously warm and tasty! I highly recommend this place!
(5)Kathryn K.
If I could give negative stars I would. This place used to be good until I placed an order on February 2 2014. The food was incredibly dissapointing for the price paid. My friends food was not fit for human consumption. When I called to complain, the person I spoke with did not want to accommodate us at all. After additional phone calls, the manager did call back and he said that he would refund our entire order to my Visa. Well here it is, February 19th, and I am checking the activity on my Visa. The total for our order was $19.25 - yet only $14.25 was credited back to my Visa. The missing $5 represents the tip - which they did NOT return to my Visa. In my book that is stealing. Why in the hell would these people think they deserve to keep $5 of my money when I was promised a full refund!?!?! And now I have to wait an entire week while the manager is on vacation to even start the process of getting my money back. THIS RESTAURANT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY - ORDER ELSEWHERE!!
(1)Abby T.
I don't know whether it was because the restaurant was dead, or because it was cold outside, but I had a terrible pizza experience here. The sauce was bland and the crust soggy. Not going to return.
(2)Gabriel B.
I've had the formaggio and the margherita. They were both good, but the margherita is definitely overpriced. Also the crust is very thin. Some people may like that but I found it too thin for my taste. The delivery is quick and the people are OK. I didn't have any problems.
(3)Pat M.
Pretty delicious high-quality pizza. About as good as you could ask for considering the price, which is reasonable. Lots of crazy seafood options too which could possibly prove to be interesting
(4)k s.
Solid thin crust pizza with interesting options, bacon and eggs was excellent. My kids devoured the spinach and olive pizza. They also called to apologize that the delivery would not be early, only on time.
(5)Benny M.
If you are looking for quality, delicious pizza with friendly delivery, this is it! I've ordered the pizza with artichoke and mushroom and was surprised on how fresh everything was! The artichoke is not canned artichoke but fresh grilled artichoke. I've also had the egg pizza with prosciutto and mixed mushroom and it was delicious! I love how they give you free fresh basil on your pizza. They also give you a lot of toppings! Also the sauce and cheese they use is terrific and I love how the pizza is not too salty. The crust is multigrain with a nice crunch. I am also happy that the delivery service is excellent. They are always on time and super nice and friendly. It's a little pricey but I feel like you get what you pay for. After trying many places in Boston/ Brookline this is my new favorite!
(5)David S.
Not impressed at all. pizza had weird flavor and was burned. would not recommend..
(1)donald s.
Great pizza..wow all natural I have ordered for my company 4 times and each time they are on point, perfect!! try any of the following: Formaggio (standard cheese pizza) Pollo alla BBQ Patate Salsiccia Steve is an owner there and is a nice man!
(5)Steffen C.
Very decent pizza with a well-baked wholegrain crust. The owner and staff are friendly, relaxed, and open people. Their only competition in Allston for quality is Regina, but I rate Ecco higher because they religiously use only fresh ingredients.
(4)Valerie H.
Oh dearest Ecco pizza... I've only ever had your scrumtrulescent pizza with bacon,chicken,and red onions. I absolutely go to nom land and never want to come back. You've won my heart over from my pizza connoisseurness of being from NJ. And your delivery is rad too :-)
(5)Michael C.
ordered a bbq chix pizza through foodler pizza was great what drives the review is how accommodating the restaurant was. they were very friendly when i asked if they could change my order to delivery. Before i could call and mention they had forgot my extra topping they called me and had already put in a request to credit my account
(4)Thomas D.
I was born and raised in Boston, lived in LA, and traveled about Europe, before making my way back home. I like to think I understand food and the quality of its ingredients. There are a lot of white bread extra large greasy pizzas in this town and many that claim to use quality ingredients. No other pizzeria comes close to Ecco and I will not order pizza from anywhere else. In fact, when getting delivery, my Chinese girlfriend would never entertain the thought of pizza until she tried Ecco. I recommend the formaggio with green olives and fresh basil on the side (basil not put on the pizza until after cooked). If your looking for cheap unhealthy food in large quantities try pizza hut or dominoes. But if you're looking for something you'll thoroughly enjoy without feeling guilty and disgusting after, this is your place.
(5)Natasha K.
Ho.ly .poop. This pizza ruined my night. I was so pumped for some delicious pizza, but then this stale bread with basically no cheese, very little tomato sauce, and a ton of basil came... and now I'm bummed. And over pizza for at least a few months until I can forget this eating disaster ever happened. Note: this was a delivery... maybe it's less horrible at the restaurant. Edited two years later: I just saw that the owner responded to this review trying to make it right, etc. This was two years ago, so it's not that relevant now, but it is really nice when an owner cares so, upgraded to 2 stars!
(2)Melissa N.
We got Ecco delivered at my work. Cheese, pepper and caramelized onion, and mushroom. It was totally delicious, especially the mushroom. The cheese had a smokey taste, and it was cooked perfectly. I also love the eco friendly concept.
(4)Justin V.
I usually prefer the most awful of pizza because it's also the cheapest. I had some Foodler money to spend and since I live right behind Ecco I gots me a pizza and was like gosh darn! Crust was really good and the ingredients are really fresh/high quality. It was so good that I held off brushing my teeth as long as I could. It is pricey for a pie but the slices aren't that bad at under $3 which is how much slices typically are. I wish it was a little more affordable or there were deals/coupons but you can tell that making a pizza of that quality isn't cheap.
(5)Samantha L.
The best delivery pizza we have tried in Allston so far. It's debatably better than Pizzaria Regina, though different. The crust is much more well-done and thin, and the pizza is totally not greasy. The cheese is cooked and not oozey, and the four cheese medley is noticeably excellent. The delivery is often a couple minutes later then they estimate, but never too much later... it's worth the wait and just a good thing to know if you are timing the delivery. It's a little more expensive than some of the other places, but the toppings are better quality. The artichoke, mushroom and carmelized onion pizza and the pepperoni are our favorites. Also, note, they don't have a ton of other classic pizza delivery foods on the menu (like garlic knots, brushetta, pastas, etc.) but it's worth it for the pizza alone. They stop delivering at 11pm too, just an FYI, though I doubt the price range and organic twist makes it a favorite for the after 11pm set.
(5)Andrew F.
The pizza was quite delicious, but I couldn't give this a higher rating because of the delivery service issues and the quality of the pizza I actually ordered. I ordered a large buffalo pizza, a 6' cinnamon bread pizza, and a soda at 8:22pm using grubhub (a website for ordering food online) and I gave specific directions to where my dorm is and the roads around it. At around 9:15pm I got a phone call from the delivery guy saying he couldn't find my dorm and wanted an address. I agreed to meet him outside, on the intersection of the closest two streets to my dorm, and he said he would be there in about 10 minutes. I ended up waiting out in the cold for almost 30 minutes for the guy to come. I paid the guy and he handed me one large pizza box and a paper bag (naturally I assumed the buffalo pizza was in the box and the 6' cinnamon pizza was in the bag with the soda. As it turns out the tiny cinnamon pizza was in the box and the delivery guy did not give me the buffalo pizza. I ended up calling the pizzeria to explain what happened. The guy on the phone was exceptionally friendly and accommodating and he sent the guy back with my buffalo pizza and a free cheese pizza (arrived around 10:20pm). Now here is the MAJOR issue with the service I got. They sent me the SAME hour and a half, stale, cold buffalo pizza they had forgotten with a fresh warm cheese pizza. The cheese pizza was delicious, but the cold buffalo pizza was unacceptable. I am very much disappointed I didn't get a reasonable pizza for what I paid for. TL;DR - I ordered some food, they forgot the pizza, they sent the driver back with the old, cold original pizza they forgot to give me with a delicious free pizza. The whole thing took about 2 hours and I never got to enjoy the food I actually ordered.
(2)Christina S.
I LOVE this place!!! The pizza is incredible, so many different options. The staff is also super nice.
(5)Leigh H.
This place is right next to my apartment building. I kept passing it and finally I decided to go in one night. It was actually really good! I just wanted a good old slice of greasy simple pepperoni pizza, and what I got was that and so much more! The crust was really great, crispy and airy and actually had flavor! The sauce was a spicy chunky tomato, really good, and they actually put fresh basil on top of the pizza for me. Will definitely be going back. Although I wish it weren't so pricy...The slices are BIG though, and still less than UpperCrust.
(4)Jake C.
I kept passing this place on the way home, but just stopped in for the first time. The grilled chicken pizza is insane. You can definitely tell that they use really good ingredients, and the crust was awesome too. If I weren't so full, I would walk back over and order another.
(5)Sally R.
Very nice staff and great pizza. It is across from my apartment so I went over and got one slice to try it out... it was so good that I went back the same night. They get their crusts from Clear Flour Bakery in Allston, and all the ingredients are organic. They sell organic drinks too, as well as ice cream and sorbet. The Blue Sky cola, which I'd never tried, was extremely good. I will be back.
(5)Erin F.
I tried this place for dinner last night and was really pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I live a few blocks away and pass it all the time on my way to the grocery store, but had never really thought to stop in. My boyfriend and I shared the sausage and mushroom pizza, and it was plenty for both of us with leftovers. The pizza had thin crust, which I liked, and a good balance of sauce and cheese. I can't stand pizza that's overloaded with cheap tasting tomato sauce. This was really good, and the chicken sausage was delicious. The pizza wasn't at all greasy and I would definitely come back here in the future. However, the best part to me was the service. It's really easy to order your food and find a seat, and there's a condiment area with forks, knives, pepper, napkins, etc. where you can grab whatever you need. The man working at the counter, whose name I didn't see but I would guess is Steve the owner from other reviews, was awesome. He was going to each table just to check on everyone and grabbing extra napkins for them (despite the fact that they could easily get up and get it themselves), bringing us more water, making sure everything was to our liking. Both of us were really impressed with how friendly and caring he was. This place is great and I'd definitely come back!
(5)Peter G.
Great new pizza place. Had the scallop pizza, it was awesome. They also have a great Nutella desert pizza. Nice restaurant space too.
(5)K R.
Pepperoni mushroom. Fast delivery, great pizza. May trump Brookline spa.
(5)Nishant S.
Was drawn to it for the first time because of its sustainability theme but have been going back for a very unique pizza experience. The reason I love this place is because organic pizzas do taste different and they are good to have once a week or when you want to take a break from regular ones. I had cut one star because of the price. It taxes my student budget but had I been earning, I would have given it 5 star. The taste of pizza is great though the same cannot be said about the choice of beverages. I hope they can find better organic beverages. The vegetarian options are great in taste and leave a long lasting impression on your pallet. It is good even if eaten next day after microwave. If you can afford it and eat pizza twice a week, this should be your calling at least once a week.
(4)Andrew L.
Ecco Pizzeria is doing it right. I had the bianca pizza, which is prosciutto, asiago cheese, and arugula. If you've never tried this before, you absolutely have to try this combination of flavors. The flavor of the asiago, combined with the burst of saltiness in the prosciutto, then coupled with the texture of the arugula is such a pleasure to eat. The arugula was fresh and crisp-- the prosciutto portioned right-- and the crust adding the texture you need from pizza. AND its whole grain. I also want to echo people's opinion on the service, which is great. This place is so friendly and helpful and have their bases covered. When I ordered delivery (for the bianca, again) the arugula comes in its own container, which as steve pointed out, keeps the arugula from wilting. I most definitely will be back.
(5)Michael S.
I have never had a better pizza in my life and everyone there especially the owner steve were so friendly I reccomend that u visit Ecco pizza
(5)M R.
don't get delivery here if you want something edible. i called ecco asking why my pizza was 30 minutes late, and was notified that it had been out for delivery for 45 minutes...meaning, basically they stock the car with 100 pizzas and dont give a crap about whether your pizza has been lying around in a car getting cold for an hour or not. after i finally received my pizza, it was as expected: soggy everywhere but the crust, and lukewarm. disappointment!
(1)Fussy J.
great pizza. Great delivery. Great premise.
(5)Aaron L.
We came all the way from J.P. and it was worth it. This is not your everyday pizza place. These are carefully crafted circles of melted goodness on crust to die for. Really - this crust is special. We had the clam pizza and our friend Max who recommended it was right, it was unlike anything we've had before. Clams and bacon - two great tastes on one pizza! Even the plain cheese was terrific - calling it plain is a true misnomer. Did I mention the crust? Also- the staff is very friendly. All around, Ecco is a winner!
(5)Carolyn C.
Steve made an amazing Formaggio pizza tonight for a party I hosted and it was absolutely delicious! Who thought an organic whole wheat pizza could taste this good??! Everything was perfect - the crust was crispy and the perfect thickness, the cheese was vibrant and not at all greasy or rubbery, and the sauce tasted like it was handmade from scratch. And, on top of the great food, the employees are pleasant and attentive. I love this place!!
(5)Andrea K.
Finally a GREAT pizza in the neighborhood. I am very fussy when it comes to pizza. The Formaggio (cheese) was heavenly. All natural and fresh. It's been a long time since I had a pizza I could rave about. A little more pricey but as they say... "You get what you pay for" and in this case it's so true. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
(5)Mei C.
Their handcrafted pizzas are delicious. The cashier is very nice and attentive. I customized my own pizza and it still tastes very good after I waited for 30 minutes.
(5)Amanda D.
My first experience at Ecco was absolutely wonderful. The owner/manager greeted us, and upon being told that we had never been to Ecco before, took the time to explain many of their menu options and their restaurant philosophy to us. He was very solicitous and even brought us napkins and straws once we sat down to eat. We got the Verdure pizza, which has artichokes, onions, and mushrooms on it, and it was AMAZING. The best pizza I've had in a really long time. The soda they carry is made from pure cane sugar, which is awesome, and although we didn't have dessert pizza, those sounded delicious too. They also compost their garbage, and most of their accessories (straws, plates, napkins, etc) are biodegradable. The restaurant was spotless, sunny, and open, which was great -- it was a lovely environment in which to sit down and enjoy our pizza. Sure, the prices are a little high, but for what you get it's well worth it. I definitely recommend Ecco and will be going back soon!
(5)Samantha S.
So good! I got the patate pizza and blu salad, both were amazing!! So delicious. Also, the delivery was quicker than expected, the delivery man was super friendly and even brought fresh basil. He also re-read the order to make sure I had everything I needed, which I did! I will definitely be ordering from here again....and again...
(5)El G.
Currently holding the crown for best pizza in Allston/Brighton. Amazing!
(5)Shawn W.
Very good pizza! This place opened not too long ago and it is really good. The staff is really friendly as well. You can tell that the pizza is made with high quality ingredients. We got the cheese pizza (called something else, but I can't remember the actual name) and brought it home. It looks like they use three different cheeses and put just the right amount of sauce on it. The crust was really good as well, I believe it was whole wheat and it had great flavor! I didn't try the ice cream, but I may next time. My only problem is the price. I understand that the quality is high, but paying $13 for a typical medium sized pizza is a little steep. However, I will be going back, but not as often as I like. Overall, I recommend this place if you want a great tasting pizza.

The pizza is de-lish!! It's been soo good everytime I purchased it. One time, out of the many it took a little long, the next day I'm assuming the manager, called to apologize. I was impressed. Mistakes happend and they owned it. So I still love it!!!

High-quality, delicious ingredients. Might find it a little pricey but it's worth it, you get what you pay for. Go for the standard cheese or pepperoni if you wanna play it safe, you'll still be satisfied. Definitely try the breakfast pizza with fried eggs and bacon, it's unreal. I love the prosciutto they use and I'm dying to try the bacon and clam pizza. And the owner Steve is a great guy, bonus for that.

This place has delicious pizza and a really nice staff. I had the Pollo alla Griglia pizza, and it was awesome. Definitely going back here. It would be nice if they served beer, I would be much more likely to stay and eat there if they did.

Best pizza in Allston by far. I've been here twice and it's now my go-to pizza joint in the neighborhood. I've ordered the Pollo Alla Griglia and both times, the owner of the place has come out, said hello, and offered me fresh basil. It's a very nice touch and the pizza is absolutely delicious. I can't recommend this place any more highly.

So far, a great pizza in Boston. I particularly recommend the Salsciccia pizza -- they do something to their mushrooms that give the pizza a really great, earthy flavor. And the crust is excellent. Also, the service is very friendly. So far, I haven't found better pizza in the Boston area -- this definitely is heads and shoulders above Naked Pizza (what a disappointment).

Hands down THE BEST pizza place in the area!!!! If you like Mediterranean style pizza, with fresh toppings, thin crust, and lots of flavor - this is IT. We've tried almost every other place in the area, and there's some decent ones. But this one goes well beyond decent. It's simply GREAT! Fresh, tasty, perfect. This is becoming our regular go to place for our biweekly pizza night. We used to alternate between places we liked and trying out new places, but I this place is so good, we feel no need to continue searching!!! Our only wish - that they had a few more vegetarian options on their specialty pizza list. But the ones they have are so good, we're fine with just having those over and over again.

Very, very good pizza. As good as you will find in the Boston area. You won't be disappointed. Very friendly staff. Quality ingredients. A tad pricy, but worth it. I will definitely be back.

We gave this new pizzeria at try and it was so good that it inspired me to write my first review. I wasn't sure what whole grain crust would be like, but everyone liked it and both pizzas we ordered were delicious. We had a regular pizza and one with artichokes and mushrooms. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. We also had the salad with pears and walnuts, which was quite tasty. I liked how all the utensils and plates are compostable. I had never heard of Blue Sky root beer, but it was really good too!

Great pizza place! The crust is really good and all the ingredients are super fresh and flavorful. They also pay attention to the details like homemade croutons on the salad and a touch of orange zest on the shrimp pesto pizza. It's more expensive than most pizza places, but it's worth it!

I ate here twice with my daughter while we were looking for an apartment. I could not believe it when a month had gone by and the owner remembered us! The best food and awesome menu options and the brick oven is spectacular. The recycling options are a huge plus. They deliver locally. Great prices. You have to dine here.

This has been one of my go-to delivery places, but it's definitely a splurge. And, unfortunately, I feel like it isn't quite as good as it used to be when I first started ordering here about a year and a half ago. Lately, the quality of the pizza seems to vary drastically based on the day, so you're never quite sure if you're going to get your money's worth. The expensive pizza is totally worth it on a "good" day; other times, not so much. They do have some good salads too, so you can pretend to be healthy by balancing out the pizza with one of those. But, again, the salads are pretty overpriced ($6.00 up-charge for a few tiny frozen shrimp? really?). Delivery is always quick, on time, and the delivery guys are always super friendly. A year ago I would have probably given this place 5 stars, but the quality has been slipping so much I can't justify spending the extra money compared to other pizza places, even though Ecco does use whole grain crust and organic sauce (woooo). Hopefully things improve again and it can go back to being my favorite pizza place in Boston!!

Ecco pizza is absolutely an amazing restaurant. Not only is their food organic. The entire building and restaurant are LEED certified. As if that wasn't enough to convince me to go there on some sort of a regular basis, they even make the pizza somehow more Gastro-whatever-friendly. Amazing culinary job with the spices. Their milkshakes are mind blowing and draw me to their spot regularly. I absolutely recommend that you try anything that you want here, because I guarantee it's also good.

I ordered via Foodler and the order arrived within 45 minutes which was great. I customized a calzone and it was a great, but the tomato sauce that came with it which was cold. The 'parm crispy garlic bread' was more like a pizza and also COLD. Lastly the Caesar dressing that came with my salad tasted 'off' and I had a hard time eating it because the flavor wasn't right. Other than the Calzone, I was very disappointed. I only live a half mile away, there is no reason for things to be cold. I don't think I'll ever be ordering from here again.

I picked up from here the other night. It's a really cool place and has a very chill ambiance. We thought the pizza was good, but not great, and it was pretty expensive. I'll give them another try next month though- it looked like they had some new employees working there.

They have the best Hawaiian pizza I've ever had in my life. Mostly because Ecco uses prosciutto, but the rest of the ingredients are all top notch. Perfection.

This was our first time here on a Sunday afternoon when car shopping across the street at Herb Chambers (that's a separate review). The place was clean, friendly and had sustainable cutlery, recycling etc. We ordered a large margarita pizza and a garden salad. The food was very good even though the Italian dressing had a weird consistency to it. Lottsa take out orders and the chef (owner?) was busy. I would definitely stop by again and even requested the chef (owner?) to add beer and wine to their menu. They did have an ice cream/gelato section which we did not try. Also, did not try the pizze dolci (dessert pizzas).
