Bob's Pizza 8.0
Old Town
A compact Old Town counter that’s built for quick slices and straightforward pies, with a style that leans crisp and snackable. It’s best as a fast win—order a couple slices, eat them hot, and move on without turning it into a long sit-down.
Must-Try Dishes: Bob's Pepperoni Pizza, Mushroom and Onion Slice, Cheese Slice
Scores:
Value: 8.1 Service: 7.8 Consistency: 8 Food Quality: 8.2 Atmosphere: 6.4 Cultural Relevance: 7
What makes it special: A small-footprint slice shop that delivers a reliably satisfying quick hit.
Who should go: Slice seekers and solo pizza missions
When to visit: Lunch or early dinner while slices are moving fast
What to order: Bob’s Pepperoni, mushroom-onion slice, a classic cheese slice
Insider tip: Get two slices instead of a full pie—best texture and faster turnaround.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited metered spots nearby, can be tough during dinner hours
Dress code: Very casual — anything goes, quick in-and-out vibe
Noise level: Moderate — small space with kitchen noise, fine for solo eating but not long conversations
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes if slices need replenishing
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait; slices usually ready
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese and veggie slice options are always available
Vegan options: Very limited — may be possible with a plain pie by request, not guaranteed
Gluten-free options: No — no gluten-free crust or dedicated prep area
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a sit-down date — better as a casual pre- or post-activity bite if you’re keeping things low-pressure.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s minimal seating and no reservations; expect counter service or standing room, especially at peak times.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who like slices and quick meals, but not set up for strollers or extended family dining.
Best For
Better for: Fast, crisp slices with strong value — quicker and more snackable than sit-down pizzerias nearby
Skip if: You want a relaxed meal, full-service dining, or specialty crusts and dietary accommodations
