I had dinner at Cambridge 1 on Church St in Harvard Square, a short walk from First Parish UU and the Church St exit of the T. It's one of my favorite places to get pizza. They serve flat bread pizza with toppings that range from regular (tomatoes, basil, cheese) to more interesting (lobster, corn, scallions). They also have microbrews if you want beer with your pizza.
Feeling budget conscious, I skipped the lobster pizza, a very delicious treat, and got the potato pizza - potatoes, fontina, parmesan, romano, rosemary, and garlic. No tomatoes or tomato sauce. A half pizza should feed one person, and the half portion of the potato pizza costs $8. The potatoes on the pizza are both thinly sliced and mashed. The cheese give it a nice salty taste, and there's a touch of butter in the pizza's flavor. I don't know if they actually use butter or another oil that mixes with everything else to give a buttery taste.
With my food I had a Bellini - Prosecco with peach puree. It was dry with a hint of peaches. Overall, it was pleasant, but I think I would have liked it a little sweeter and with a stronger peach taste.

That restaurant sounds interesting. Affordable and interesting. Do you know of Grendel's is still open in Harvard Square?
I just did a quick search, and it is still open. I may even have gone to it once, but I'm not sure.
