Penguin Pizza

The server/bar man is excellent giving attention, friendly and very efficient.

The dishes we had are enjoyable, not salty, but the fries are made with old oil vs cost. We should try something else next time. Quite popular with both eat in guests and takeout. Very relaxed and popular.

We would visit again.

First time here, it's a nice neighborhood bar atmosphere. Wheel of Fortune was playing on TV.

The waitstaff was very attentive.

Got buffalo wings and a large half/half buffalo chicken pizza / mushroom with mash potatoes pizza. The food was okay, I wasn't impressed. However, others thought it was standard.

It works and does the job.

Just had a great night with my friends at penguin and enjoyed the lime Ricky buckets, I added grenadine to mine! Yummm! Thank you to my server Carolìna she was so attentive, patient, and kind when I asked for a very complicated payment method!! Best server on tonight for sure !!

I normally don’t write reviews, but this experience was so unprofessional that I feel obligated to share.

I ordered a chicken parmesan sub and what came out was completely inedible – the chicken was burnt black, not just overcooked but charred to a crisp. I politely flagged the waitress, who sent it back to the kitchen. By the time the corrected dish came out, I had already been waiting about 40 minutes since placing my order.

The food itself was disappointing, but what truly shocked me was the service afterward. When the check came, I left a zero tip (understandably, given the circumstances). As I left, both the waitress and another server actually chased me outside to confront me about it. They asked why I tipped zero, and when I explained, they had the audacity to ask for my name. As I turned to walk away, one of them shouted at me to “never come back.”

I’ve dined at plenty of restaurants in Boston and I’ve never been treated so disrespectfully. Mistakes happen in kitchens, but the lack of accountability, the aggressive behavior, and the sheer unprofessionalism of the staff made this one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.

I will absolutely take their advice and never return — and I’d strongly caution others to think twice before spending money here.

I went in late night to get a slice and got the last of what they had. It was fine, not great. The beer selection is wide. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere is of a dive pizza bar.
