You wouldn't expect anything great by just looking at it. Small, seems busy, not new. You would say a hole in the wall. Then you get to the counter and see all the selections of pizza they have. I ordered a plain pie and it's only $20. You could order a beer also if you want. Interesting.
I paid the man and about 10 min later, he came with the pie. When i say this is one of the best pizzas I've ever had, I am not joking. I've had pizza in Italy, I make my own. So I'm from NJ so we have some really good pizza between us and NYC. This is up there with those pizzas. Great undercarriage, lots of semolina on it, no flop. Sauce is on the sweeter side but not overly which made it so good. Cheese is fantastic. Tastes like Grande but can't be sure. The people next to us had 2 meetball slices and they were commenting on every bite. They loved it. I would assume pizza this good should be closer to that $30 range. This is a steal. It is great, in the heart of little Italy. Can't recommend it enough. You're in Boston, it's worth a stop. Then head over to Mike's Pastry for dessert!
Ernesto’s Pizza in Boston is a GREAT slice for pizza lovers! Known for its generous portions and incredible flavors, this spot never disappoints. The crust strikes the perfect balance…crispy on the outside yet chewy inside, making it the ideal base for their bold, fresh toppings. It’s a small spot to plan to take your pizza to go or go after the lunch rush and have a seat and enjoy.
Ernesto’s Pizza is a gem in Boston’s North End! The pizza was excellent, with huge, satisfying slices that are perfect for a hearty meal. Located right in the heart of the historic neighborhood, it’s a great spot to grab a slice while exploring Delicious pizza in a prime location!
So far this has been the best slice I've had in Boston. Good amount of cheese with a nice touch of char, delicious sauce and the perfect undercarriage with no flop. Believe it or not, this was actually one slice too, they had to cut it in half lol. Make sure to stop by for a pie (or at least a slice)!
After doing the Freedom Trail walking tour we found ourselves in the North End Little Italy area. We asked our guide for some suggestions and he mentioned Ernesto’s and that they sell by the slice if you want. He warned us that their slice was huge. We walked up to this very tiny spot on Salem St that had one huge bay window that was wide open. There are only 15-20 seats in this place. You walk up to the counter and they have Pizzas on display to choose from. We ordered a slice of sausage and two orange fountain sodas. Their one slice is actually 2 slices. It took only a couple of minutes to be ready and it was piping hot. We were lucky to find one tiny table in the corner. Pizza smelled amazing so I dug it. Amazing flavor. It’s not exactly NY slice thin but just a little thicker. Sauce, Cheese, Crust, and Sausage all on point. The orange soda was a great compliment. I had my wife try and she liked it so much she almost ate half of it. If this place was anywhere near me I would be in big trouble. Loved the pizza, location, and atmosphere. It’s for sure a must try. We saw a lot of folks taking whole Pizza’s to go.
