june bug restaurant

Delicious pizza here at June bug. It is napoleton style which (in my very unbiased opinion…jk) is the best kind of pizza. I enjoyed all three pizzas we had. Specifically the garlic / hot honey one. Great flavor combos. The space is uniquely designed. I loved all the unique decor and fun vibes. Even the bathroom is pretty. Super friendly staff. Great addition to Union Square!

Cozy, casual restaurant in a busy Somerville neighborhood. We went for our anniversary dinner on our daughter’s recommendation and glad we did. The menu isn’t extensive & keeps changing but the two appetizers we ordered were delicious as was the pizza. The pizzas are light and individual sized but after eating appetizers, one was enough split between the two of us. We got the olive oil cake & flan for dessert & they both were so delicious! Our server was amazing and at the end of dinner, refilled our wine glasses with sparkling wine on the house. I’d definitely recommend a visit to June bug. Beware, parking is an issue in the area. Take a ride share if possible.

The pizza was amazing and the reason we came however, the appetizers almost blew us away more which is saying a lot. There was a bit of a wait (it was a random Tuesday evening) but the hostess was very kind and made sure to get us a spot the best she could. We got the shrimp toast and wings which were both super flavorful. The shuggie's pizza had a beautiful crust and a very nice flavor. I highly recommend it, it also good if you have picker eaters in your group.

Had to check out this new spot in Somerville and it did not disappoint! I feel like Boston does not have enough restaurants that are this vibey and high quality while still being fairly casual and June bug fit the criteria on all fronts. The menu is limited but every item we ordered was extremely tasty and had unique flavors. We got the mushroom salad and 2 pizzas - loved the sweet sausage and the fact that you can order dipping sauces for the crust. Highly recommend the dill ranch. Cocktails were great flavor combos as well and not too strong. We came after Valentine’s Day and the restaurant decor is just so thoughtful and cute, playlist was on point, and we had such a nice time. My only issue is parking is literally impossible in Union Square but totally worth it to go here! Can’t wait to go back!

Service was amazing. I was on crutches and their whole team was attentive to ensuring I got to my table safely and that I was comfortable. They went above and beyond in this way.

Vibe check - awesome atmosphere. Feels like it sits at the intersection of a whimsical and lighthearted feel while remaining clean and classy. Dope music too!

Food, as expected, is also top notch. I especially appreciated the tomato sauce on the pizza. Not too sweet and enough zing to please the palate but not overload. The dough has a great balance between chew and crunch - yum!

Other highlights include the mushroom salad, shrimp toast, and fluke & bay scallops tartar.

Always room for dessert - see photos of their apple crisp with ginger ice cream and flan.
