"Fido is the more casual sibling of coastal Italian restaurant Bar Mezzana and tiki and sushi spot Shore Leave, both in the South End. With affordably priced pies, a fun and intricate craft cocktail list, and a broad-ranging shared plates menu that offers both wings and clams, The Allston restaurant appeals to the mix of students, families, and young professionals in the neighborhood."
"The bar team fat-washes a bucket of gin with a whole pizza to make their pepperoni pizza Negroni on draft. It's serious business. For the Negroni-averse, the tomato vine martini pairs just as well with a pie. Save room for dessert. Offerings like an olive oil cake with whipped mascarpone, balsamic drizzle, and cranberry compote are a huge upgrade from the pizza joints of my New Hampshire childhood, where you'd be lucky to get a Hoodsie cup."
"Pepperoni pizza ($15 for a 10-inch pie and $24 for a 16-inch) is a classic for a reason. This one comes New York style with tomato sauce, mozzarella, ezzo cup, and char pepperoni, and a dusting of oregano. There's also a gluten-friendly crust available. Start with the burrata and 'nduja ($16), a spicy spreadable mix of sausage and Calabrian chiles. The creamy burrata perfectly pairs with the fiery sausage."
