Ma Magoo’s Pizza & Sub Shop

Ordered a good amount of food today… the woman on the phone screwed up our order and then we called to have it corrected and we thought we were getting the missing item, they sent over ½ of it. Too bad because we will never order from there again. AND the woman on the phone was very rude because she apparently made the error.

Their honey mustard is the dankness.

Yum yum yum. Very filling food. Friendly staff! My work has ordered from there countless times and only twice were there two small hiccups. Very minor and the staff was helpful in fixing the problem. Highly recommended.

My wife and I were new to town and were in the mood for pizza. Ma Magoo’s is right up the street from us so we figured we’d give it a try. We ordered a large pizza and a greek salad. The salad was pretty solid. Crisp lettuce and veggies, lots of feta, and the dressing was good. The pizza left a lot to be desired. Nothing wrong with the toppings, overall fresh and plentiful. There was just very little sauce and it was undercooked. In my opinion, pizza crust should be crispy from the edges to the center, theirs was very doughy. For a Pizza & Sub Shop, their pizza just didn’t hit the mark. Maybe we’ll try the chicken fingers next time.

I’d been wanting to come here for months ever since I heard about their honey mustard chicken sandwich. I finally made it over here and was delighted to find it was everything I hoped it would be. The chicken was delicious and crispy. The bread was soft, and the honey mustard was so good. The sandwich was huge, enough for 2 or 3 meals. It was really delicious.

I eat here semi-​regularly for lunch, and unfortunately, Ma Magoo’s has a habit of ruining what would have otherwise been a good meal by putting whatever you order in styrofoam followed by a paper bag. This will ruin anything that’s supposed to be crispy; like say, a cheeseburger club and onion rings. The taste was decent; but the meal was ruined by the wet bread, soggy onion rings and wet fatty bacon. I went early to pick it up but the damage had already been done. Wet bread and a sandwich you can’t pick up. Super disappointing.

+dreamy chicken honey mustard sandwich
+mozzarella sticks
+ample portions
+economical
–very difficult to get to

Amazing, I totally understand the rave reviews. I get the same thing every time I’ve gone so far which is the cheeseburger sub. It was one of the best of all time, I get it with just ketchup, like a boss. There is a great selection of sides, and I will be returning as frequently as possible. Basically if you’re in this area, this is the spot to go to. I’ve tried a few of the local places, and even spending more does not offer this amount of flyer. Don’t let the low prices fool you, use the force.

Absolutely horrible!
Thought I would order from this place since most of the reviews said they were great, but it was the worst experience ever.
I ordered my daughter a cheese sub with lettuce and tomato and mayonnaise, and when we received sub there was absolutely no trace of any cheese. Not sure if order was taken inaccurately, but when I called they actually asked me if I wanted another sub. Really? You shouldn’t even ask, a customer should get what they pay for. After asking for another, it took nearly 30 min to get a replacement and my daughter had to wait for her lunch.
Secondly, I ordered a vegetarian pizza, and the pizza was still raw as well… which I realized after I had already called them. I didn’t bother complaining about that because it seemed like just getting a re do sub (simple cheese one) seemed like a task for them.
I will never recommend this place to anyone, nor order here again.
For a $ 30 meal… it was disappointing!
I could’ve spent less money going elsewhere for better food

Great local business that’s got quality and speed. The food is always solid and consistent.
I always order their subs, and I often find myself going back to their honey mustard chicken sub. The size is extremely valuable for the price you pay. Bunch of locals always return and I totally understand why.
Not a good place for you to sit and have q conversation. It’s one of those places you should just pick up your food and go. They deliver as well so that’s a plus.

Great little mom & pop sub shop tucked away in a corner of Cambridge. The chicken fingers are the best I’ve ever heard, and their honey mustard sauce takes it to the next level.
Their subs are delicious too, especially the buffalo chicken sub. A large one could probably feed a family of 4!

Got a couple of calzones from here a while back. They were huge, and filled with a ton of cheese. The only thing that takes a star away is that we picked them up. When we went to go get our order and drive it back to our place (down the road past alewife) we opened them, and had to heat them up in the oven because they already were cold.
Also, be warned that their parking lot is super small and always busy. Make sure not to order during a peak time.

Traveled from somerville to arrive at 8:10 pm (posted close time is 8:30p) on Sunday and was told «we’re closed». What a waste of my time and urgency to get there in time and then to be turned away. Never again my business. Good luck.

Been here once. Ordered a steak bomb, and while it was not bad, I have certainly had better. The portion size was very generous and the pricing seemed in line with other local such. Shops. The location is pretty convenient just off the alewife rotary. The ambience leaves a lot to be desired. Typical hole in the wall sub shop. I’d go back if I were in the area, but I wouldn’t rush back. Love the name, by the way.

O m g… 1^st stop on my trip to Boston … This place is simply amazing, I’m from Texas and hands down the best chicken fingers with honey mustard are the bee’s knees. I had the Italian sub toasted and my wife had the meatball sub both were out of this world best subs we have ever eaten. Mother in law went with the cheese burger and homemade onion rings also very good. I’ll be back tomorrow !!!

Swung by to pick up a family meal. The food is solid. The pizzas are hearty and flavorful, and the chicken finger sub is a must try. Be aware, you may need a nap afterwards.
On top of the chicken finger sub, we got the Mamas special pizza and the Southern pizza. I would recommend both.
They had some family special coupons, which we didn’t know about, but they tossed in a cheese pizza anyways.
Solid food when your in the mood for a hearty, heavy meal, and have time for a nap afterwards.

4 words: Fried clam strip dinner. Seriously the best I have ever had outside Cape Cod.
My fiancé swears by the chicken strip sub. Always a nice meal to bring home on a movie night.

I work a very short walk from Ma Magoo’s, and have been here many times, but I am probably taking my business elsewhere after today.
A guy I work with is a vegetarian, and loves a certain vegetarian sandwich Ma Magoo’s offers. Sometimes it isn’t available, so he always calls to make sure. This time, he calls confirms the sandwich is available, and orders two other sandwiches, one of which is for me. This is at 2:24pm.
Fast forward to 3:35 when he arrives back at work. He had texted me saying he thinks they didn’t have the veggie patty, but couldn’t get a straight answer, but the order was taking forever. He worked in a pizza shop when he started working with me, and after asking a few times, found out that the order had been finished, bagged and was sitting and waiting while he stood at the counter.
So effectively, I paid nine bucks to wait more than an hour for a club sandwich and flavorless fries, all of which were soggy and falling apart after an extended stay in a Styrofoam box. (Uploading pics in a moment) Because I expected it 45 minutes earlier, I couldn’t eat it for another hour, and couldn’t go back since I was at work.
It’s a decent pizza/​sub shop, but now I just can’t trust them.

All you need to know about this place is that they sell crack. Honey Mustard Crack that is. And it’s amazing in every way imaginable.
I’ve been coming here since my Belmont High days. So over 10 years now. I’ve had a few other things but it’s mainly the same order. Large Honey Mustard Chicken Finger Sub with mayo and lettuce — half for now, half for later. It never disappoints! They have been consistent throughout the years and they never skimp on the chicken.
The chicken itself is delicious. Real white meat chicken and you can really taste the freshness. It’s fried perfectly and is nice and juicy. Their bread is also great and has a nice chew. It also doesn’t get soggy which is rare these days.
You won’t go wrong with anything you order from this place but clearly the chicken finger sub is the winner.
The staff has always been friendly and service has always been great. I usually pick up but there are a few tables and I don’t remember there ever being a time when it’s been empty.
Do yourself a favor and get yourself a sub from this place

I’ve been coming here since I was a small brat. The food is delicious. The house made honey mustard dressing is amazing. I usually dunk my fries in it.
Delicious mom & pop sub shop.
