Best of Boston

2000 Best Pizza, General Excellence

Emma’s

Emma’s may have moved from Huron Avenue to Kendall Square, but it still boats the same great thin-crust pizza and 21 imaginative toppings, including smoked chicken, dried cranberries, calamata olives, and roasted sweet potatoes (as well as standbys such as sausage, onions, and pepperoni). The service is also friendly and attentive. And while it still isn’t exactly spacious, the new location near the Kendall Square Cinema is big enough to fit 10 tables; the waiting area has the original counter from the old Huron Avenue store, a nice touch.
