...Rendezvous--Holyoke St. Interesting Vietnamese cuisine mixed with standard burger-and-grinder stuff. The sandwiches at the 'Vous are fascinating: it's a real challenge to make your way through all that lettuce to find the advertised meat, but life is full of such little adventures. The burgers are definitely better, the standard American entrees are standardly satisfying, and the prices are low enough to keep the fans coming back for more. The 'Vous also boasts the best pinball arcade in the Square, although late at night the fans sometimes get a bit over-excited about the way Fate...
...Pizza--Linden St. Once upon a time there was this guy named Joe who owned a pizzeria across Mass Ave from the Yard. Joe was, to put it mildly, something of an eccentric--he drove a hearse to work, for example. And he decorated his place with portraits of all the presidents, an incredibly tacky nude, and a salute to Christopher Columbus (the godfather of pizza, apparently). Oh yeah, he also served pizza, and would, on request, launch into half-English, half-Italian tirades about anything and nothing.

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.

Pinocchio's--Eliot St. near Boylston St. Here it is fans, the best pizza in the Square. Somehow these guys do it just right every time...perfect crust, just the right combination of cheese and sauce, and always expertly cooked. You can't beat it, even if it is a little expensive, and often very crowded...
...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
