Area Four
About
Area Four is a playful, arty restaurant in the Kendall Square area built around open-flame cooking. The menu pairs wood-fired pizza with new American plates, and the bar mixes creative cocktails. The pizza crust starts from a sourdough starter that was ten years old when the Boston Globe wrote about it, and it bakes up crisp and charred, in a style described as somewhere between New Haven and Neapolitan.
The restaurant doubles as a scratch bakery, and its coffee comes from Barrington, a local roaster. Area Four says it is fueled by creativity, fearlessness and an unrelenting commitment to quality, and its approach is to use excellent ingredients, make food from scratch and get back to basics. Its tagline sums up the idea: “This Is Real Food. from The Oven.” The restaurant is located in Technology Square.
