since I couldn’t figure out whether Hot Box was open today to try their roast beef threeway/bar pizza, I decided to hike into Davis Sq. instead to try out Dragon Pizza. (tho I just found out that Tsurumen was apparently serving pork maze soba today. if I’d only known…).
Pretty standard setup here, the fairly limited menu (that seems a work in progress) has a few pizza options, some salads that seem promising, a couple sandwiches and gelato. Just got a slice, which goes for $3.75 and it was decent. It wasn’t bad really–the tomato sauce was fine and un-sweet but there was maybe a bit too much cheese for a good ratio on the pie. The thin crust was good and crispy, but seemed to lack a bit in flavor and the whole thing seemed overall to be missing something to make it stand out.
They seem to play around with toppings some, so maybe that’s the play here. People were nice and they were playing Otis Redding when I went in, so that’s sure a plus. It’s better than Christo’s was and would be a perfectly good stop for a quick bite before a movie, but at least on a first try the slice didn’t really wow me as anything special. Will probably explore a bit more in the future to see if there’s anything really worthwhile to order here.
