Creative homemade thin-crust pizza and panini made with high-quality fresh produce; Scoozi offers a different Mediterranean-inspired pizza, pasta, and soup of the day every day. Consider yourself very lucky if you happen upon the garlic
shrimp and caramelized onions slice of the day. The margarita pizza with fresh tomatoes is also a good choice.
UNIQUE DISH
White pizza with mozzarella, caramelized onions, arugula, and olive oil.
DRINKS
Beer and moderately priced wine; variety of soft drinks, including micro-brewed ones like Black Cherry; coffees of American and European origin; tea, iced tea, and mineral water.
SEATING
30 inside, 50 outside-the sidewalk terrace is open in warmer months.
AMBIENCE/CLIENTELE
Casual elegance, from the wrought-iron tables and chairs outside to the wicker chairs, comfy padded benches, small wood tables, and black-and-white prints hanging inside. Scoozi feeds a wide range of ages and backgrounds, including employees of Newbury's fashionable shops, Back Bay locals, and tourists; the most noticeable of Scoozi's clientele, however, are the designer-clad foreign students who are a fi xture of the open-air terrace in warmer months, and who believe the gourmet pizzeria's reasonable prices. Thanks to the international house music often playing on weekends, Scoozi is a great place to come on a Friday or Saturday afternoon to gear up for a
night out. Book an appointment next door at Safar Salon, who are part owners, and they will order you something from Scoozi while you get your hair done.
