Hot Box

North Shore roast beef and South Shore bar pie is about as uniquely Massachusetts as it gets, and Somerville’s Hot Box has both. Located right in Bow Market, they make thin-crust pizzas that are precisely the right size for your pizza party of one. We love the spicy pickle pizza (yes, it has hot and diced-up pickles), but if that’s too wild, there’s buffalo chicken, pepperoni, and other classics.
