Regina Pizzeria

Nice place. Great service despite how busy they were.
The food was sadly disappointing.
I don't like to write negative reviews, but I have to mention this place.
Once again, service was really good. The place was extremely busy and packed. Our server was very friendly and attentive despite how many people were there.
We ordered a Pollo Regina. It came in a relatively timely manner. The toppings were fresh and quality was good and could be tasted. Sadly, the crust was undercooked. We noticed the pizzas at the different tables were all inconsistent in how they arrived. Some appeared burnt. Some appeared half burnt. Some, like ours, looked fine on the outside. Ours was definitely undercooked. This, obviously, took away from the overall experience.
The place has a lot of hype. If you want to experience a Boston fixture, then you should check it out. However, it may be a gamble to get a good pizza.

Great atmosphere and really good pizza. This place has been around since 1926, and you can definitely feel the history and character. I had the large Glambotta, and it was delicious-great flavor, generous toppings, and a really good crust. There can be a wait, especially during busy times, so plan accordingly. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Boston.

The pizzas were fabulous. I have never eaten a pizza this delicious in my life! The pesto pizza was by far the best one. The ricotta adds a little smoothness and a creamy texture to the pizza itself. Also, the pesto sauce is awesome. Moreover, the diced tomatoes on the pizza are the equivalent of a bruschetta, which is extremely good. This combination of pesto, tomatoes, and ricotta brings your taste buds to heaven.

We waited in line for 45 minutes to an hour, but it was worth the wait. Although the service was okay, it was not fabulous because all the servers are always in a rush, so do not expect incredible and attentive service. Overall, the staff is kind.

The restaurant is FULL, which adds to the ambiance. Therefore, some people might not like the fact that the place is too small for the number of people it contains. You feel a little cramped, but it adds to the experience.

I was suggested this pizza spot by three people in Boston. Two different friends and our Uber Driver, often saying it’s some of the best pizza in Boston. I was suggested the shrimp scampi pizza but unfortunately it was no longer on the menu. Nonetheless, we ordered a pepperoni and the GIAMBOTTA. So good!!! Ingredients were super fresh and that crust?! WHEW! You can tell their oven is that of legend. I picked up the pies as take-out but the venue was BUZZING inside. Full of infectious energy that made me wish I had time to wait for a seat. It felt like one of those local, exciting, neighborhood pizza spots you see in movies or on television. This was the only pizza I had in Boston, but I was satisfied.

Regina Pizzeria is hands down the best pizza I have had outside of New York City, and in my opinion it is one of the best pizza spots in all of Boston.

You can feel the history the second you walk in. There are two locations you can go to, but I definitely prefer this one because the vibe is just on another level. The exterior has that classic old Boston character, and the inside has a real old school feel with the wooden chairs and benches that make it feel authentic. Between the awards, the badges, and all the history on the walls, you can tell this place has earned its reputation.

I had the pepperoni pizza, and it was phenomenal from the very first bite. The fact that it is cooked in a brick oven makes a huge difference. The crust had that perfect texture with just the right amount of crisp on the outside while still being soft and chewy inside. The cheese, sauce, and oils all came together so well that my taste buds honestly woke up immediately. Everything about the pizza tasted rich, balanced, and full of flavor. The sauce had a great tang, the cheese was hot and perfectly melted, and the pepperoni brought that salty, slightly spicy bite that tied the whole thing together. It was the kind of pizza where every single slice tastes just as good as the first. I honestly wanted to order another pie right after finishing mine.

The service was decent, but definitely expect a wait because this place stays packed. Once you taste the pizza, it makes complete sense why people keep lining up for it. They also have a lot of options on the menu, so there is plenty to choose from.

This place has been around for over 100 years, and after eating here, it is easy to understand why. I will always come back to this pizzeria.
