"A Union/Hot Box counter known for South Shore–style bar pizza — thin pies with cheese stretched to the edge and a lacy, charred perimeter — representing a slice of regional pizza tradition adapted to the market setting." - Erika Adams
"Hotbox Pizza in Bow Market makes fantastic South Shore bar pizzas with pillowy crusts and creamy cheese blends. The spicy pickle pizza—their most popular and one that blows our mind every time we try it—pairs exceptionally with their secret dipping sauce (spoilers ahead: it’s honey mustard). Give their seasonal pizzas a try, like the springtime pie that combines asparagus and red peppers with the creamiest, meltiest cheese blend. They have options for your vegetarian and vegan friends too, and happen to stay open late on weekends, making them the spot you’ll find us after a night out around Union Square. Hotbox is one of the many delicious vendors in Bow Market, so plan for a casual, outdoor seating situation. " - tanya edwards, lala thaddeus
"North Shore roast beef and South Shore bar pie is about as uniquely Massachusetts as it gets, and Somerville’s Hot Box has both. Located right in Bow Market, they make thin-crust pizzas that are precisely the right size for your pizza party of one. We love the spicy pickle pizza (yes, it has hot and diced-up pickles), but if that’s too wild, there’s buffalo chicken, pepperoni, and other classics. " - tanya edwards
