I can't speak highly enough about AK's. The food is great, the portions are huge, and delivery is generally fantastic. (Also, the waffle fries are the best I've had. Ever.)
They've also managed to turn the one drawback into a great customer service experience. Usually, when I order delivery to my office, the food arrives fast enough that it's on the border of being too hot to eat immediately. Unfortunately, when it's raining, so many people order from there that delivery takes much longer. To their credit, the two times delivery has taken long enough that the food was actually cold, they've immediately apologized and sent a replacement out immediately (and, more importantly, without any attitude). -

LOVE this place. When you order wings here, they know that you want a lot of wings and a lot of sauce and they deliver. I eventually plan to order something else here, but each time I pull up, I can't get those wings out of my head.
Great place. -

A great place for pizza, subs, salads, etc.
The salads come loaded with meat. So big, I often make two meals from one. All the salads come with warm pita bread.
The large pizzas are gigantic. My favorite is the buffalo chicken pizza. It's loaded with flavorful chicken, banana peppers, blue cheese chunks and buffalo sauce. The two slice pizza special priced at $4.50 with a can of soda is a steal! The two slices that you get literally are half the whole pizza they are so large. I can barely finish one slice.
All their sandwiches come with chips and a drink for $1 more. You have the option of making any sandwich a wrap. My favorites are the steak, cheese and mushroom sub or wrap, Caesar salad wrap, meatballs and the steak tips wrap.
The pasta dishes are plentiful and come with garlic bread.
Everything I've ever tried on their menu has been delicious. They even have fried seafood, BBQ chicken, ribs, Mac n cheese, cornbread, collard greens, and so much more.
At lunch time, the place is packed with USPS letter carriers, Boston police officers, bolt bus drivers, Peter pan bus drivers and Boston firefighters. I'd recommend calling in your order if you choose to go during lunch. If you go in, except a somewhat long wait unless you are getting a puzza slice special or a cold sandwich The dining room is always clean with at least a half dozen tables and a large TV. The staff is friendly and personable. The girl at the register is always smiling. -

Haven't been here but ordered delivery. The delivery service was on time, guy was very nice but the Pizza was awful. Wasn't looking for gourmet or anything but this pizza had a weird chemical taste to it. Wasn't even average. I muscled through a couple slices cause I was hungry but threw out the rest. Won't order from here again. Because the delivery guy was nice and on time, I gave them an extra star but that's it ... never again.

The best place for American comfort food in Boston. The owner (AK) is in the store quite often and is very friendly. Portion sizes are enormous, so do not order a large of anything if you are by yourself. They have just about every type of native New England food you can think of and it is all very good. My wife loves the Buffalo Chicken Salad and my favorite item are the Steak Tips.
The place is very clean which is fairly rare in the neighborhood. Great selection of drinks and deserts. -

I really like this place. The people at the counter are very pleasant and the food is great. The crust on the pizza is fantastic and the delivery times are very fast, even on a Friday night.

Damn good!
I needed to secure quick food for a few folks working all day on a Sunday at an event...and this was where we happened upon. After checking to make sure the Yelp reviews supported it (they obviously do)...we banked on it, ordered up and were on our way in about 15 minutes.
Going in, I wasn't hopeful that I'd be able to find anything remotely healthy that was remotely edible. I was proved so very, very wrong!
AK's has the deep fried, gooey cheese covered goods. Of course. Cheesesteaks, pizzas, burgers, fries....all here. But! They also have a full lineup of salads, and I am here to say that my grilled chicken salad was nothing short of astonishing. A huge fresh bed of non-iceburg lettuce topped with fresh cut veggies and grilled chicken. I mean, really...these guys are legit!
The guy at the counter was VERY nice, helpful and threw in a free 2 liter because our purchase was over $30.
Lunch, drinks and happiness for 5: Around $60 with tip. Not too shabby! Would definitely order from again. -

This place has CLEARLY earned is 'People Love Us On Yelp' sticker. We certainly loved it.
We wandered in at 3 in the afternoon -pretty random - and were warmly greated by the pair behind the counter. We took our time looking over the menu and deciding what to order. In that time, several other patrons - very obviously local Southie boys - came in, ordered wings, grinders, pizza, etc., and filled the joint up. It became clear that AK's is a neighborhood staple.
Our food was delicious. We had a few salads, a buffalo chicken sandwich, and some grilled chicken. Everything was fresh and flavorful - it really hit the spot after a long day of work. Because we ordered so much food, they threw in a 2 liter bottle of soda on top of all our drinks. Sweet.
The prices we reasonable, the wait wasn't long and the service was great... Not to mention the food. Only drawback? Not a lot of parking, and I would have loved some bread with my salad. Other than that, I'd gladly go back to AK's anytime. -

Ordered delivery. Food showed up in about 30 minutes. Mac&cheese tasted liked it had been refrigerated after having been cooked. Mushroom bites were out of a frozen bag. Gyro salad was not made with spit fired hero meat (again processed frozen gyro meat). However the salad itself was nice fresh iceberg lettuce. If your staying at the Westin and too lazy or tired to go out, then this
place is like getting leftovers out of your fridge. -

They arent as great as other say. I ordered a sub for delivery and it was burnt. Very burnt. As they made the sub, they must have thought "wow this bread is black, but lets keep making it'. They assumed since I was a delivery customer, they could get away with this. Two stars for their gyro (ordered twice, once better than the other) and for the quick delivery. Other than that, the subs are burnt, pizzas suck and calzones are GROSS! So many better options in southie.

A chicken sandwich, an antipasto salad, and an order of mozzarella sticks. Seems simple, but for AK's, it certainly is not.
Given that we ordered this for take out, I assumed they would start cooking before we arrived. Sadly, when we pulled up 15 minutes after ordering, they had not even started to cook our food. I guess that 10-15 minute window until it was ready meant the time until the food was ready to cook, not ready to be picked up. At this rate, we could have cooked at home.
We waited around, and saw that are mozzarella sticks were done. They sat on the counter for 20 minutes until the rest of our food was done, getting nice and soggy. We promptly let the cashier know we did not want them, and thankfully she gave us a refund.
Went home, opened our food which we were now SO hungry for, and it was all wrong. Wrong toppings on the sandwich, and onions that I asked not for on the salad.
Not worth it- next time we'll get take out somewhere else, and hope they start to cook before we arrive. -

OMG this place rocks! Best burger Ive had within the bounds of Southie! Pulled Rib SUB? OMFG so delicious! I'd eat there every day but then I would weight 500 pounds. And we already got a few fat guys in around these parts. If you are nearby or want deliver, I highly recommend AK's! you will not be disappointed. Free high Five if you mention my review on Yelp!

This review pertains to their delivery only. After a day of alcohol consumption we returned to our hotel room craving some Boston delivery. We looked at the hotel room service menu and were appalled at the prices. After a little yelp research we found AK's. We ended up going with the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and a Greek Salad. My fiancee thinks that the pizza was the some of the best thin crust that she has ever had. I also really enjoyed it and was shocked by how big it was for such a great price. Next time we are in Boston this will be our go to place!

AK's is practically the only delivery option for those in the Fort Point area (especially in the fried foods/pizza range), and every time we have used them they have been prompt and the food has been pretty decent and certainly fills the junk food cravings, and the prices are really good.
My only real complaint is that the buffalo chicken pizza does not have sufficient (any?) buffalo sauce! More sauce please!! -
Review from Alex I.

Took a chance on this place the other night...The Calzones are pretty good but was a little surprised at the wings...they weren't fried like most places and the buffalo sauce wasn't as spicy as I would've expected. I'd say go for it be cautiously optimistic about the wings if ordered.

This place is great. The food selection is abundant. The people are nice and the delivery estimation is always on point. Though they messed up my order once it wasn't a big deal.

Some of the better pizza in Boston. Sandwiches are pretty good too as the bread is always fresh. Delivery is very reliable as well.
In a city filled with pizza joints this is one of the better ones. -

Amazing pizza~ but what won me over was the Buffalo Chicken Salad...DELISH! Not only is the chicken grilled to perfection, they keep it in tin foil so it doesnt get the lettuce all soggy! I have been getting this salad everyday almost for the last week! I'm soo glad I found it! YUM!
I stand by my original review, this place is awesome! I eat here everyday and it never gets old. I get the buffalo chicken salad, and it rocks! If you're someone who appreciates delicious food at a reasonable price, I highly recommend AK's! -

Wow! Got a pleasant surprise from AK's last night.. In last night's order I tried the coleslaw,, it was better than most sit down restaurants I've been in. We recently dined at The Ledge, The No Name and both offered bland, run-of-the-mill slaw.. AK's was fresh, crunchy and delish, "homemade" is my guess. This came as a surprise; not because AK's is mediocre but because most pizza/sub places use the pre made, "industrial" coleslaw..
I got the order to go, so I did not have the chance to ask the owner if he makes his own but that's my educated guess. Perhaps he makes a batch once a week or maybe more than that. All I know is that AK's cooks good food and delivers quickly (they should for the $2 dollar delivery charge).. On our next order I'm going to try one of the other sides, see if they're as good as the coleslaw.. It was really good. -

It might help that I live less then block from this place, but I love me some AK's. When you first walk into the place the thing you notice right away is the menu, it's freaken huge! It actually spans three walls.
The owner of the place is also a pretty cool guy, and half the time I'm in there they are watching this crazy soap opera in another language, which makes for good conversation.
As for the food, you will think "Hmmm, I have had better," but for the price there is really nothing that can beat it. There is no contest for a good tasting cheap pizza on a Friday night. Possibly the greatest thing about them is they are down the street from BK's, the hamburgers cost exactly the same but AK's are a landslide better.
These guys do it right and I have yet to be disappointed. I have also heard the delivery is fast, which I can believe cause that delivery guy is constantly coming and going. -

I kid you not, for awhile there AKs was literally the only place my boyfriend and I ordered from... And I'm not ashamed (ok, a little ashamed) to say that we often ordered there more than once a week... But have you lived around Southie before? GOOD DELIVERY IS SO HARD TO FIND.
So AKs takes the cake for delivery food in the area. The only bad thing I've had was a large pizza... It was only once, but it was tasteless and oddly thin and soggy. Stick with the smalls (you can thank me later). I also hated their chicken and broccoli alfredo, but my sister loved it, so. Tough call there. The subs are good... and if you're partial to BLTs they don't microwave the bacon or chop it into inedible bits like those places who shall remain nameless (Petes... Broadways "Best"...).... And their calzones are GIANT and pretty good. They could improve on their crust... Just sayin.
It might be in our heads, but the more we've ordered, the more free stuff we've noticed. We order 4 chicken fingers... We get seven huge chicken fingers... We order a small fry.... We get a massive amount of fries. Obsessive and unhealthy once to twice a week loyalty to this place gets you the goods and the goods are pretty cheap as it is. -

I like AK's pizza but its by no means, some of the best pizza I've ever had (five stars) and I can't really say that I'm a fan either (four stars) because I likely wouldn't get it again unless everything else was closed. When I think of five star pizza I think of "Upper Crust." The pizza at AK's was really bland! I didn't taste or see any seasoning in the tomato sauce and the cheese was just kind of there. Not the type of cheese that you peel off of the box and eat. The crust was pretty bland too--very frozen food like. Not nasty but not great...just something cheap and convenient.

YUM!
It's hard to find delivery that will burn your mouth because it's still that hot!
I ordered a baked ziti with chicken and it was literally still steaming 5-10 mins after I opened it. The food was great and tasty, delivery was VERY fast and everyone I encountered was very polite and patient. The only trouble I had was I found it difficult to understand the delivery guy on the phone because I was unfamiliar with his accent and he spoke quickly.
Other than that, I am a fan! -

Never disappoints.
BBQ chicken pizza
Small (ha! 9 of them!) cheese sticks
Buffalo Chicken Fingers
Yes. Im VERY popular on nights when I let AKs make dinner.
One suggestion - STAY OPEN AFTER BAR TIME! It bums me out to eat frozen pizza when I know that AKs is so close to our house.1 Previous Review: Show all »

GREAT pizza. It was still piping hot when it got here (in no time), the crust was fluffy yet crispy, and the toppings were oh so delicious! The Brazilian had a great combination of toppings and the Buffalo Chicken was super spicy and awesome.
I highly recommend AK's if you're looking for that go-to pizza place in Southie! -

I had friends over and I did not want to cook for that many people so I decided to order food from AK's. I got a large cheese pizza and two 30 wing ding boxes. The guy on the phone was super nice and helped me figured out how much to order for my party. They also delivered within 30 minutes! I will definitely be ordering from here again, as their wings were delicious and the pizza was also good. It wasn't expensive at all, I only wish they were open later, i.e late enough to satisfy my post-alcoholic state especially on the weekends. Just a quick tip, if you decide to look on their menu online like I did, go to the right website, there's another AK's takeout in Roxbury crossing and it is not the same as this one in South Boston.

Decent ribs and steak tips combo meal... yet my friend was disappointed with the instant mashed potatoes (who knew!)-- haha.. I got the clam strips and fries (plentiful serving), which I'd definitely get again. Delivery was quick!

Finally, decent pizza in South Boston. Seems like everyone's biased to the pizza you grew up eating, but anyone in South Boston who wasn't born there is more than willing to complain about the uniformly mediocre pizza. There's about a dozen places that all have C+/D grade pizza, and often can't even deliver than with consistency. AKs has solid B+ pizza, maybe not the best you've ever had, but you're happy when it comes to the door. Good, flavorful crust, fresh ingredients liberally applied, and a fair price. I've tried some of the apps, which were good, and really dig the calzones. Meatball parm calzone, a small is about $9-$10 and is easily big enough for two huge meals. They've got several gourmet pizzas, Brazilian, steak tip etc. that I keep meaning to try.

If this is East Coast pizza, I'm a convert. The pizza was delicious!!!! I was visiting and ordered this pizza to my hotel- it was a good call. Loved the cheese and crust. I also like how they mixed the ricotta across the pizza, instead of putting it in a couple of large blobs.

This place is consistently good delivery in southie. The people that answer the phone and delivery your food couldn't be nicer. They have a great variety of stuff on the menu, not just pizza and wings. The food is consistently good, I especially like the fresh wings and fingers. No Sysco frozen crap here.

Not good. It's pretty tough to find good pizza in Southie, but this place somehow found a way to be "bad" in a sea of bad pizza joints. Delivery took over an hour, and the pizza was barely warm when it arrived. Pizza was dry, cardboard like, and poorly made.

I liked this place there are not many places I will order from in Southie. I was surprised to find out this place is actually good. I go there once or twice a month whcih is alot for me. I have given up on southie take out and cook at home more. I love southie but the take out is not great. Yay for AK's.
