Andalus Pizza Cafe - Boston

I've lived in the area for awhile, and on occasion will stop in to Andalus in the evening for a frozen yogurt. No complaints there at all. The pizza however is the grossest thing I've ever encountered. It's not edible. For starters it was the furthest thing from a Buffalo Chicken pizza you could imagine. It was a cheese pizza with some pre cooked over cooked chicken tossed on top with some hot sauce. The toppings immediately slid off the pizza, making it impossible to pick up. $20 for a small 12 pizza and a bottled juice. I feel sick from the one slice that I ate. Coming here was a mistake that I will not be making again even for frozen yogurt. Great way to lose a customer. Pizza is in your name How do you mess it up that badly?

I just had a calzone from Andalus and it was very good. I usually avoid takeout because, frankly, most takeout food is disappointing, generates a lot of plastic trash, and is often rough on my stomach. But in this case I'm happy about the choice. The vegetables calzone had a homemade feel, plus a special flavor. Service was pleasant and efficient. I'd say Andalus punches above its weight compared to more visible places on Beacon St and other busier streets, considering its location which is more hidden. At the next opportunity I'll try other calzones, and perhaps inquire about their Middle Eastern recipes and the reason for the name.

Andalus is a solid spot for take out or a very casual dine in (I 'd recommend taking out though). The pizza is not fancy, it 's not artisanal, it 's not trying to be anything except, good, solid take-out pizza. And I respect that. I 'm not saying that you should go out of your way to get Andalus pizza. But if you 're in the area, and want a pie, this should be your spot. The last thing I 'll say is that I came here on a Friday night once and knew that I was driving to Vermont early the next morning. There was a major snowstorm, and my car was parked around the corner, so I asked the dude working if I could borrow a shovel. He was like: Absolutely my friend! . He even asked if I needed any help shoveling out my car. What a guy. That 's pretty much the best you can hope for from a neighborhood pizza joint. Andalus, I salute you.

LOVE the food here! Pasta and fro-yo are our go-to's but the subs are also good. Really nice portions for the price. The staff is friendly!

This is my favorite restaurant in Brighton. Their flatbread pizzas, popcorn chicken and frozen yogurt are a must try. I eat here atleast 2 times a week and never get bored. And the folks at Andalus are the best. They are genuinely nice and kind. I love love this spot :
