Area Four Wins eater.com's 1st Annual Best Pizza in Boston Award

Area Four! Chef-owner Michael Leviton, who also runs Lumière in Newton, opened Area Four one year ago this month, and the restaurant quickly became a poster child of the Kendall Square restaurant boom. Between its bakery/coffeehouse and bar/oven, the restaurant covers three meals a day and is best known for its superlative pizzas, which are leavened with chef Jeff Pond's ten-year-old sourdough starter before being blasted in the restaurant's wood-fired ovens.
