Regina Pizzeria

Stepping into Regina’s in the North End feels like stepping into a slice of pizza history. The original location has that old-school charm—tight booths, checkered floors, and walls lined with vintage photos that remind you this place has been doing it right since 1926.

The pizza? Absolutely worth the hype. The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and chewy, with that signature char from the brick oven that gives it so much character. We ordered a classic pepperoni and a white pizza—both were phenomenal. The sauce is rich and tangy, the cheese perfectly melted and bubbling, and the toppings generous but not overdone.

Service is quick, no-frills, and efficient—exactly what you’d expect and want at a place like this. It’s casual, a little chaotic, but full of energy and tradition.

If you’re in Boston and even remotely into pizza, this place is non-negotiable. It’s a must-visit institution that lives up to the legacy. Just be prepared to wait—especially on weekends—but it’s 100% worth it.

You have to visit the original location to Regina Pizzeria when visiting Boston's North End.

This was my second time eating here. When I came here years ago, we ordered a large cheese pizza and I remember being blown away. I remember thinking to myself it was the best pizza l'd ever had.

This time around I ordered a couple of slices and unfortunately didn't have that same reaction, however they were still good. But comparable to what you get from a Regina's at the mall...

I do love the interior of this place, it still looks original and has lots of character. I sat at a tiny table next to the bar and had a great time. My server was attentive and my order came out quickly.

Definitely order a pie when you come here, it's fresh and you'll be happy. Even if you're solo, order a small pie... trust me!

PS. No free refills on soda.

Every bite is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Long line out the door for indoor seating. Call ahead and order, even if it's for a slice or two. The cheese was velvety goodness. All the ingredients combined made for an amazing slice of pizza. 10 out of 10 would eat again.

Regina Pizzeria is a great local restaurant. It felt like everyone in there has eaten there a hundred times. Yet it has a reputation that draws visitors to it, and for good reason. We had two pizzas: pepperoni and broccoli aglio e olio. Both were delicious. The service was excellent. Although there was a long line, they served people quickly and turned over tables at a fast rate.

Going in I really didn’t have any expectations. I was in Boston with my family for the weekend and we were back at the hotel after a long day of walking around. My wife was beat but my 9 year old is always up for any food adventure. I literally asked chat GTP the most popular pizza in Boston and this place came up. Our hotel was pretty close by so my daughter and I walked over and were lucky to score two seats at the bar. Place was packed. It had that classic old pizzeria smell and feel which is so comforting to me. We ordered a plain pie and a beer. Bartender showed us the move with this spicy oil they have in bottles that are probably as old as me and it was so fu@&in spot on. Really was a perfect pizza. Food is all about how you feel in the moment and the people you are with so maybe I’m elevating this pie more than others but man, it so hit the spot on a Saturday afternoon. It quite literally was a perfect pizza. Perfect char, perfect amount of cheese to sauce. Perfect amount of crust. Perfect crispy to soft. Bartender was the man as well. Highly recommend.
