...about two years ago, Joe revved up his hearse and cruised on to new adventures. He left his legacy, though, and so his little pizzeria, conveniently situated above Felix's Shoe Repair, still serves the worst pizza in town to a dwindling number of loyalists. If you want to eat in solitude, try Joe's but if you want to eat good pizza, go somewhere else. The subs, however, are pretty good, particularly the veal parmigiana. But the place just isn't the same without...
...Harvard Pizza--Plympton St. at Mt. Auburn. This is the median of pizzerias: Roman Hruska, former senator from Nebraska and author of a famous speech in defense of mediocrity, would love this place.

Seriously, though, Bel Canto's offers an interesting, tasty and rather expensive variation on the all-American dish. Definitely worth a try but be forewarned--the place is tiny, the service is slow, and at peak times you have to wait...
...Dunster St.--Dunster St. (of course). The best non-pizzeria pizza around, although it's expensive and only comes in cheese (sorry, anchovy fans). 33-D, as the preppies call it, has an atmosphere of its own--see Bars--and some of the best action around
