Pizza, meatballs, a salad, and cookies. That’s it?! What gives?

Basically everything we serve is made by hand from scratch recipes: dough, sauces, meatballs, toppings, dressings, and cookies. With a small staff and kitchen, our goal is to focus on doing a few things the best we can, instead of trying to have the biggest menu. It’s true that we don’t serve a lot of the deep-fried items you’re used to seeing on a pizza shop menu: fries, chicken fingers & wings, and mozzarella sticks. These items are usually pre-made, frozen, low quality, and probably not a satisfying meal. You’re not going to see a freezer or deep fryer at Garlic Breath.

Instead, we’re focusing on old-school, hand-tossed, New York-style pizza made with our artisan dough. High-hydration, long fermentation, and using local, fresh-milled grain means our dough is what you’d find in the best bread bakeries. All of our pizzas are baked in a high-tech, energy-efficient electric deck oven for maximum crisp and our ideal bake: a little well-done.

We’re also really into meatballs, so you’ll find ours are made from scratch from freshly ground prime beef and pork from Savenor’s Butcher Shop, one of Boston’s best.

If you’re into greens, we make a tasty Caesar salad, but it’s really just a reason to eat our house-made dressing and croutons. If you’re one of those weirdos that dips your pizza bones (crust) in ranch, we make a good one.

Finally, save room for dessert because we bake large chocolate chunk cookies every morning using stone ground, organic chocolate from Taza in Somerville.
