🍕 Descendant Pizza – Detroit-Style Heaven in the Heart of Boston 🍕 📍 800 Boylston St #123, Boston, MA 02199

If you’re on the hunt for the best Detroit-style pizza in Boston, Descendant Pizza might just end your search. Tucked into the Prudential Center, this spot delivers a crust that’s both crispy and fluffy—a rare and satisfying combo that makes each bite a perfect balance of texture and flavor.

We tried the classic Cheese ($19.55), made with a rich cheese blend, tomato sauce, Sicilian oregano, olive oil, and grana padano. It was simple, nostalgic, and hit all the right notes. I’d rate it a solid 8.1/10. But the standout for me was the Jaffna ($28.75), a wildly inventive vegetarian option featuring kothu roti, mango chutney, Calabrian chilis, and coconut sambol—a flavor bomb that tasted like a tropical vacation layered on pizza.

One of the most underrated perks here? The dipping sauces. From garlic aioli to truffle, lime aioli, and even Mike’s Hot Honey, the sauces take your pizza game to another level. It makes every crust end feel like a bonus instead of a burden.

Don’t skip dessert either—Cookies by Feed the Cheeks are the perfect sweet treat to round out the meal.

💵 We paid around $60 for two pizzas, two drinks, and still had four slices left over. With these thick Detroit-style slices, 2–3 per person is more than enough to leave you stuffed.

💬 Final verdict: 8/10 – One of the best pizza spots in Boston for anyone craving creativity, customizable toppings, and that signature Detroit crunch. I’ll absolutely be back the next time I’m at the Pru!
