Hands down the BEST pizza in Dayton. (Actually, the whole menu is great!) Personable and knowledgeable staff, superb selections of beer on draught at any given time of the day/night, and I love that they actually ENCOURAGE you to taste test their goods! Comfy, relaxed outdoor area including fire pit for those chilly evenings and usually has a great mix of patrons from all walks of life. That's what makes Boston's  a great neighborhood pub, in my opinion. Oh, and I like the fact that Boston's is active in the community. That really says a lot about an establishment in this day and age.
Review Source:Would be 5 stars if the decor wasn't from decades ago, but the pizza was GREAT!!! Â I got pepperoni, and it was so good I couldn't stop and finished the whole thing. Â My friends got the Gyro and Mexican and loved theirs!
The pretzel appetizer was incredible. Â It was so fresh that we had to wait a few minutes to eat, because it was so hot! Â Service was fine. Â A little slow, but we weren't in a rush since we were going to a hockey game. Â And they were really nice and helpful with the menu.
All the beer on tap was not your normal Miller and Bud. Â They actually let my friends taste all the different beers they did have on tap. Â
Will definitely be back next time I'm in Dayton!
what a gem! found it through a yelp review. as we were driving down i70
if you like a good beer selection, grandma's carpet,, view of the cell towner and GREAT pizza (did i mention the pizza) -- for a DEAL, its heaven (Sunday's special is 2 beers and 1 pizza)
they have out door seating, fire pit (okay its in the parking lot) , this place isn't in Manhattan its in dayton and GREAT!! -- and yes they have pool tables.
great staff!!
ps. has wifi too
Comfy, relaxed atmosphere, and helps not to be in too much of a rush, since as previously stated, service is just sort of so-so. Â We went to try w/ a Groupon for a lazy Sat. nite dinner/few drinks, and as it's close to the holidays, with several large groups, we were sort of ignored for a while, but eventually got drinks, menus, then, with a bit of searching for a server, finally waited on and served. Â Pizzas were good, hot and fresh, and offered some unique flavor. Â I'd go back again to hang out, but not in a rush, or with anyone impatient... Â Great selection of beer!! Â Want to go back in warmer weather and hang out outside on the patio!!
Review Source:If you like boring American beers, this is not the place for you. Â In fact, if you're not adventurous with your pizza this is not the place for you either.
The spud pizza and the maygar delight are both great pizzas. Â
HINT: Â If you're not a feta cheese fan, try the Maygar Delight pizza with provolone instead of feta. Â You'll love it. Â I promise.
Service can be slow, but they actually have signs telling you to go to the bar and order. Â They often don't even have wait staff, just bartenders.
This seemed like the kind of place we'd really like; locally owned, interesting selection / unique food (Hungarian inspired), great beer selection, we actually wondered why we hadn't heard about it before since it's been around for a very long time. The atmosphere was very, well, interesting, looked like it hasn't been updated since the 70's, really old carpet, cushions in the booths looked like they were going to fall apart, ok so we're here for the food, maybe these things all just add to the character of the place? Oh by the way, there was a small dog that made it's rounds around to all the tables (actually visited us more than our server, not sure that we really had a server, more on that in a minute), dog was very friendly and entertaining but a little odd, maybe more of the place's "character"? After sitting down and waiting for maybe 10 or so minutes with no sign of service, I watched a few people get menus from the bar, so I proceed to the bar to order drinks and gather menus, was asked at that time if I wanted to start a tab, I should have gotten a clue at this point I think. We ordered what was supposed to be their specialty, the Magyar delight pizza (Hungarian chicken, feta, spinach, tomatoes, Alfredo sauce, bacon, maybe a few other things I can't quite recall), also ordered a pretzel, and some of their zwack slaw (Hungarian twist on cole slaw). After we ordered we watched a few servers (I suppose) walk around and take orders from a few tables, did they know something that we didn't? I still really don't know what we were supposed to do, did they have waiter service or did we do the right thing? Who knows really. After about 30 minutes the person that took our order at the bar walked by, I told her to bring our pretzel and slaw when they were ready because we were starving, it really shouldn't take much time to get a pretzel and slaw ready, right? About 10 minutes later they came out, our pizza soon followed, it was almost 1 hour after we walked that we were given our food, we actually considered walking out before the food was served but they had already swiped by credit card (remember the prompt to start a tab). The pretzel was pretty good, really big, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside (my wife thought it tasted stale), the slaw was so so, really tangy. The pizza was another issue, the first thing I noticed was the sauce tasted like jarred supermarket Alfredo sauce, very very thick and that was pretty much all you could taste, it overpowered everything. I could see the chicken and feta on the pizza but couldn't taste it over the Alfredo, reminded me of eating bread-sticks dipped in Alfredo sauce. We fought over the pieces with lots of bacon because that's the only flavor that cut through the sauce, we were very disappointed. We felt bad leaving so much pizza behind so I went to the bar for a box to take with us, after about 10 minutes of smelling it in the car we promptly found a trash can and disposed of it, netiher of us had any interest in eating it again.
For food and service Boston's would get 1 lonely star but they do have a pretty decent beer selection so two stars overall and that is being very generous. I really hate to add a locally owned establishment to my wall of shame list but because the service and food were so horrible that's where they belong in my opinion (and my opinion is what it's all about, to me anyway!)
Five stars for the beer selection. It is exotic and changes often. 3 Stars for the decor, but really if that turns you off to this place then you are really missing out. I can't grade the food becuase I haven't had it. You don't come here to eat. Try and make it to the "Most Arrogant Bar in America" Party when they win the contests (they have quite a few times)
Review Source:Dayton's Boston's Bistro & Pub was dubbed by Stone Brewing Company as "The Most Arrogant Bar in America" for selling more of Stone's Arrogant Bastard than anyplace else on the planet. Despite the title, guests shouldn't expect arrogant service. Owner David Boston's family has been serving drinks to Dayton residents since before Prohibition, and at his eponymous bistro and pub, that tradition of service continues. Visitors will find more than a dozen taps touting such limited-release suds as Boulder Beer's Flashback 30th Anniversary Ale. What's not on tap likely is represented on the 150-beer bottle list.
