Roast Beef Pizza King - Somerville

I have passed this place probably a million times, but never set foot inside. I happened to be headed for that area around llunch time the other day and stopped in, for a sub of some kind for lunch. I ordred the pastrami sub. Which doesn't come in various sizzes I kind of wished it had. I also got some kind of snapple drink I'd never seen before. They had some cop show on, and a few minuters later my food was ready. I grabbed a menu, and thanked them and was on my way. The joint is too small to really want to be sitting in there eating. Plus I was afraid about my proximity to SHS and the time of day and the fact that traditionally sub shops get mobbed after school and at lunchtime. I couldn't get all the way though my sub, it was the saltiest sub Id' ever had. I don't even like mayo, but had I had mayo on it it may have saved the sub from itself. Alone, it was inedible. Even with cheese and extra lettuce on it. So sad. I got home after work and it just so happened that they had leafleted our street for the first time (to my knowledge) I kept the menu, even if the sub was bad, heres hoping that the pizza is at least good or delivered late and quickly!

So disappointing! Just ordered a steak and cheese sub from this place and got back literally slabs of un-toasted bread that seemed to be slapped together poorly, between a slice of cheese that hadn't even been melted, on only two slithers of shaved steak. By far the worst sandwich I've ever had... Wish i had taken a picture before throwing it out! You can get better sandwiches at 7/11!! sad.

Solid pizzeria pizza, as you 'd expect from a place with such a regal name. (In fact, the full name of the business as specified on their delivery menu expounds on the King 's bounds even further than its business name on Yelp he is in fact the Roast Beef AND Pizza King. Thin but not flimsy crust, generous use of toppings, and almost exactly the promised 30 minutes from order to delivery. (And open on sunday! We got the pizza king supreme, a chicken pesto, and a mushroom pizza. There 's a coupon on the menu for a free small cheese with two gourmet pizzas, so we got one of those too. The supreme was the best, with just the right amount of assorted toppings to fill up the pie without getting greasy or falling apart. The chicken pesto was good but not great a bit lacking in the pesto but still a tasty slice. The mushroom and cheese weren 't great we 're talking pretty standard stuff here. My advice: stick to the gourmet pies and get a free cheese 'za thrown in for that delicious pizza breakfast you know you 'll want the next morning. Nothing that 's going to blow your mind, but solid delivery that outpaces Boston City Pizza and Pini 's.

I can't explain this, but the large pizzas taste a lot better than the smalls. I can't explain, but it's true. Typical sub and pizza place, but it's good food for cheap. During the week you can get a large Cheese for $5.99. Family owned and run, the people are very friendly. Super fast delivery, too!

Everyone has their staple pizza and sub shop in Somerville. Mine is Pizza King. They 're generally pretty cheap and unlike other places in down? Don 't do ONE thing great, and everything else meh . Go consistency! Extra Kudos to a place that 's willing to listen to my wacky orders and make things happen even if they aren 't on the menu. My reco of the week? Order the large roast beef sub with buffalo sauce and blue cheese! I 'm not sure if there is a name for this artery clogger, but its damn delicious...
