Ernesto's Pizza

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!

Was searching for a slice and decided to pop in here - extremely disappointed. We ordered a pepperoni slice and a margarita slice. Both had soggy crust, and flavorless sauce, the pepperoni was overly oily and too cheesy. They did give us 2 for the price of 1 on both which we appreciated; the staff were all kind. The quality of the pizza is not good.

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!

We were exploring North End and needed a snack for later and decided to stop by and get some slices. We got the eggplant pizza to go and it was good. A good option if you want something and quick and with good flavor.

Be aware this isn't a super thin NYC style slice - it's quite a bit thicker with a lot of cheese.

That's not a bad thing, and the base is super crispy - great flavor.

But the slices are huge, can't be split, and have a bit of weight to them!

I could normally knock back 2-3 NY slices but struggled with one of these.

Place is busy with locals and came recommended by many people around town, so clearly popular (maybe the style is a regional thing I'm not used to!)

Ultimately it's the sort of place you might stop after a few beers. Not up market or pretending to be something it isn't - which is just what I expected and I can't complain!
