Area Four
500 Technology Square, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Area Four is a buzzy, industrial-cool hangout where the espresso program shares the spotlight with genuinely excellent Neapolitan pizza—think perfectly charred, light-but-fluffy crusts and creative toppings like sausage with pickled peppers that inspire return visits. Beyond the coffee and pizza, they've got thoughtful light bites like shaved Brussels sprouts salads and supreme garlic knots that feel intentional rather than an afterthought, making it the kind of place where you'll want to linger well past your original plan.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

We got takeout from here on two nights during a trip to Boston/Cambridge. Both times we had the Sausage and Pickled Peppers pizza and we think it's probably the best pizza we have ever had! Also it's ready super quick and was piping hot! The large pizza is a great size!
