First up is Dragon Pizza. Its thin-crust, New York-style pies come in creative combos like broccoli rabe with white cheese sauce, and a seasonal margherita made with pumpkin, mozzarella and sage. There are always a handful of slices on hand. Non-pizza fans have a range of kebabs to choose from. And for dessert, there's gelato.

With a 4.5-star Yelp rating out 20 reviews, Dragon Pizza has been getting positive attention.

Yelper Michael A., who reviewed Dragon Pizza on October 10, wrote, "Is this the "Great Davis Square Pizza Joint"? The one we've always wanted. Dragon has captured my business for the foreseeable future. "

Marc A. noted, "There used to be a run-of-the-mill pizza place in this location, and these guys took it over. Their pizza is loaded with fresh, tasty ingredients, they have at least five different kinds of gourmet options, and they have all kinds of other awesome accoutrements like homemade gelato and artisan soda."

Dragon Pizza is open from 5 p.m.–midnight on Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
