Ideal Cafe & Pizza

Loved the takeout we got from Ideal earlier this week. We ordered the Ideal Special and Cafe Chicken, and especially loved the first of the two, with toppings loaded on and a good mix of veggies.

Prompt service and nice phone and delivery team! Will absolutely be ordering again!

I absolutely love this place, and the worst part about moving out of JP was leaving behind Ideal. The food is incredible, and has a distinct taste and look where you can tell they make everything by hand (never exactly the same, but still great). Two words: Buffalo chicken. Calzone, sub, pizza, whatever, get the buffalo chicken (their buffalo sauce is homemade and delicious). Staff learns the regulars and their orders and is always willing to chat. Definitely stop by if you have the chance.

I’ve probably ordered from Ideal over 100 times. Each and every time the food was fresh, top of the line and exactly what I ordered. They never forget to add tomatoes, toast your sub or whatever details your order entails. These guys know what they’re doing!

Amazing subs/wraps. Great wings and dinners. Highly recommended!

Doesn’t get any better than Ideal. No fancy dishes here, only generous service sizes, straightforward fresh and delicious pizza, subs, and salads. HIGHLY recommend the buffalo chicken sandwich and the ideal special pizza

Great local spot for pizza, wings, and sandwiches. Pizza is sort of Greek style but not as chewy as most similar places. Wings are great but can have a variable amount of sauce and I do like when there’s plenty of sauce.

This is by far the best pizza place in Boston.
Just tonight I had the grilled chicken dinner which was phenomenal! Pizza slices are gigantic and they give you a lot of toppings that are very delicious. Highly recommend stopping by.

We ordered while waiting for our pet at Angell Memorial and the timing was perfect. We had the No Nonsense pizza and a buffalo chicken sub and both were exactly what we needed. They were delicious!

Super tasty Greek style pizza and quick delivery, the perfect antidote to a chilly evening! Ideal Cafe makes savory pizza with nice crust. It's especially good if you have them keep the pizza in until it's a little more crisp. Mmmmm!

I got chicken teriyaki sub and about to order a sub now but not spicy. Would definitely order thar sub and slice of cheese pizza.

Always fresh & HOT. Even more importantly, when you ask for provolone on your steak & cheese, they get it RIGHT!! The pepperoni pizza is the best.

This place is amazing. Gives me that Midwest vibe, but on the east coast. Both of the guys here where awesome and friendly. I would recommend it to anyone, the kicker is, the food is fricking glorious.

The buffalo chicken sandwich is the best I've ever had you should try it! Also the staff is friendly and helpful. Overall a great place.

Stopped for a quick slice, hit the spot. If you enjoy saucy pizza that has a nice amount of color on the cheese (i.e. not pale white), this is the place for you.

Great ambience! Great atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff that make you want to come back for more. I truly recommend their French fries with their pizza!

Crust is different from most pizza places and it's deliciously chewy! One of my favorite places in the Boston area!

Their slices of pizza actually really good nice and crunchy

Delicious food, friendly phone service, and fast delivery. The firecracker pizza is pretty much to die for! Highly recommended.

Always gets the order correct. Good service and delivery is within the time they give. Food quality is very good.

Employees were very generous. Pizza was also delicious. Highly recommend!

People who work there are so friendly and nice. The food is great. Big portions. Awesome place.
