"If you aren’t collecting rental income from foreign investors, then dropping $100 on lunch for one (which is possible at many Back Bay restaurants) is less than ideal. Eating an affordable but mediocre meal is also not a great solution, which is why you should head over to Dirty Water Dough on Newbury. There’s lots of good pizza here, all on a thin, crispy crust made with IPA. If you decide to go for a whole pie (there are slices too), you’ll have interesting options to choose from - like the ones topped with mac and cheese or cola-marinated steak." - joel ang, dan secatore
"There are surprisingly few affordable pizza spots in Back Bay, but since Dirty Water’s around, we probably don’t need any other options anyway. All of their IPA-infused, thin-crust pizzas are solid, but we particularly enjoy the Steak ’n Cola pizza. Order a pie through UberEats. They also have an East Boston location." - joel ang
"With locations in Back Bay and East Boston, this pizzeria is offering no-contact delivery around the area. Want to liven things up while trapped in a house with the same people for many months? Try ordering the aloha pizza — sliced prosciutto, pineapple, red sauce, mozzarella, Romano — for a fun game of “does pineapple belong on pizza?” Another option is the Fenway frank pizza: sliced Kayem all-beef franks, sauerkraut, sweet relish, white onions, and a drizzle of mustard. Order: Official Site" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"The Back Bay pizzeria — as well as its East Boston offshoot — is offering no-contact delivery of its offbeat pizzas (such as one topped with mac and cheese, Ritz crackers, and Cheez-Its), sandwiches, and salads. Order: (617) 262-0090 / Official Website" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
