Scissors and Pie

Fresh ingredients, airy crust and cut with scissors. The concept is cool but the flavor is lacking. The unique line of bottled sodas was the best part.

My favorite pizza shop in Boston!

WHY? The pies here take a whopping three days to make... And they are totally worth the wait. don't worry! You don't have to order three days ahead of time. Their thick fluffy dough needs time to grow.

These boutique pizza slices come with a variety of one of a kind topping combinations and expensive oils. They are also sold by weight, so you can get as small or as large as life as you wish. Stop in just for a small snack.

Another unique offering is Foxon Park soda... The same sweet beverage offered at New Haven's famous Pepe's pizza!

The deal: this is like no other pizza in Boston. you must simply stop by and try to taste for yourself.

Exorbitant prices for pizza.

They weigh each slice, and I paid about $10 for two regular sized slices. They were also served luke warm, and looked like they had been sitting out for a while. Not sure what the hype is about.

The staff is incredibly nice though. The bathroom is also really clean.

First let me clear up a misconception that some (probably uneducated people) have about the the way this place serves their pizza. Pizza by the ounce is the only way that europeans price pizza and they are trying to introduce that concept here. I understand that this is not the American way but don't go freaking out and blaming the pizza because the pizza was fantastic and if people didnt introduce things from other cultures you would not even have pizza to begin with. Newbury st is for high class people who deserve higher class pizza not just your greasy $2 by the slice stuff.

Having spent months in Europe I can tell you this stuff is pretty darn authentic. The pizza has the real sicily crust which is made with actual wholesome ingredients. Also, the toppings are not greasy and they are really put together well. You can't put a price on quality.

If you are looking for a quick greasy $2 pizza dont come here. If you are looking for quality pizza that you will actually feel good about eating, this is your spot.

Furthermore, the owner was probably one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. I am a south end local and this place is absolutely one of the better pizza places I have ever had the pleasure of eating at.

One of the coolest Ideas I've seen in a while: Choose your pizza portion.

They cut your square from the larger pizza according to what size/dimension you want. Grab a big slice of your fave or 2"x2" to try the different flavours. Don't skip out on the dessert pizza (Unless you're watching your calorie intake.)

The interior of this place is sweet! In-groove sliding tables/chairs to form the number of chairs you need for your group. Very local feel to the service.

Can't wait to come back and try the salmon slice.

The thing that makes this place worth trying is the fact that you can get whatever size piece of their pizzas as you like. They have interesting toppings, so you're able to just ask for a small cut (maybe just a few bites worth) of a couple types and then pay by weight.

I tried 2 pizzas, and they were both okay, not the best pizza I've had, but the novelty of trying a few types makes up for that.

Definitely worth a try for a casual lunch on Newbury!

Definitely more expensive than other places, but I mean, you're on Newbury, what do you expect...
I love the concept of asking them to cut you a specific size. They were also very understanding when I asked if I can get a middle portion because I don't like crusts on pizzas. Anyways, I used the Yelp coupon where you can get $10 worth of things for $5, so my friend and I ended up $5, which is better than nothing.

Anyways, let's get to the food. If you're looking for a quick meal, this is the place to go. The pizza is already pre-made, you choose the kind or kinds your want, they ask you about how big a piece you want, and you pay by weight. I got two slices, one of the potato, ham, etc. one and another one that had cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, etc. I personally liked the cherry tomatoes + proscuitto + arugular one better, but the potato one was interesting, and definitely more filling. Eating the pizza can be a bit difficult if you get a middle piece since you don't have the crust to hold onto, but if you don't mind your hands getting dirty, it was fine. They also have utensils in the corner, but its plastic...so not very helpful lol

All in all, I thought the pizzas were great. The price is expensive, but it was not a surprise so that was fine. And finally, the atmosphere of the place was wonderful. Great modern interior and very friendly staff.

Scissors and Pie was a fantastic place to eat. The pizza was superb - good, thick crust, fresh toppings, high-quality cheeses and olive oil. The staff was helpful, and since the pizza is prepared beforehand and sold by weight, we were able to get the exact amounts we wanted of each pizza we decided to try. They also sell a bottled soda that I've never seen before but enjoyed very much. They also had a tasteful and enjoyable selection of music playing in the background, and it was played at exactly the right volume.

I didn't expect to be so enthusiastic about a place I stopped into off the street; I just hoped for some palatable pizza. I'm pleased to recommend this local pizzeria whole heartedly, and the best part is that it's affordable, so you have nothing to lose by giving it a spin.

Are the owners paying you people to write 5 star reviews?
How can anyone give this place 5 stars?
What am I missing?
I live in back bay, I love pizza but this place is terrible.

Sure the owners were very nice but these reviews should be about the pizza; which was VERY over priced. I paid $4.50 for a teeny square of margarita pizza. Which was nothing spectacular.

This part of Boston has some fantastic pizza places with innovative and gourmet toppings; coppa, salty pig and picco are all well within walking distance from scissors and pie.

While these places don't offer slices but you can get entire pizza from one of these establishments for the cost of ten ounces of pizza from scissors & pie.

So overnight several more reviews popped up all at once, most of them rookie yelpers and all saying the same generic thing and rating this place 5 stars. It appears that instead of responding to my initial review the owner decided to have his family members or employees put up phony reviews, all of which hype up the "fresh ingredients" and the "unique pizza". It's almost comical how obvious and desperate it seems. I can tell all of Back Bay is talking about this new place and how it's so fricken expensive. You've lost all your locals, but maybe you'll snag a few naive tourists?
