FLORINA Pizzeria & Paninoteca

This place was super busy; the line was out the door but I was able to get a seat by the window to dine in. I got the meatball to start, which was served in a bowl which was an interesting presentation! It was soft and juicy, I could have eaten 2 easily.
I also got the lasagna, which took about 15 mins to prepare.
It all tasted fresh, and homemade; very enjoyable!

What can I say? This is easily among the best pizzas I’ve ever had. I had no idea this place even existed until I randomly walked in for a slice while out on a walk and I’m so glad I did. Talk about a hidden gem.

That five-dollar slice is basically three slices in one. Generously sized, perfectly crispy on the bottom, and with a crust that hits the sweet spot between chewy and crunchy. The sauce is rich and flavorful, the cheese is well-balanced without being greasy, and everything just works together beautifully.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Boston, this place is worth the stop. I’ll definitely be coming back and next time I’m getting a whole pie.

P.S. the music was spot on!

Super nice staff, great neighborhood staple for a quick lunch bite. Tried the spinach mushroom white pizza - delicious even on a hot day. Will be back to try the cheese!

I was a block away from my first trip to Florina when it hit me- the unmistakable, tantalizing, god-given scent of freshly baked pizza. After a short wait in a longish line I picked up two slices of this bad boy and even though I CAN EAT, I still ended up with leftovers. The service was quick, friendly and efficient, no complaints there. Not many places to sit so keep that in mind if you're planning on eating in. I'll be back!

Hands down, Florina is my favorite pizza shop in Boston! New York-style slices, quick and efficient service, unassuming little shop feel. When you get a slice, it’s got the perfect crisp, no flop, and a slight tanginess to the sauce that I absolutely love. Their caprese sub is also really good, I always add prosciutto to it and ask for balsamic added. The sub roll is always soft and the tomato la fresh, and the mozzarella is so creamy. My only knock is that they aren’t open late or on weekends! Go visit and get a slice!!
