Best Traditional Pizza
Bostonians love their pizza and Santarpios makes what is widely considered the tastiest pizza pie.
Established in 1903 and inducted into Boston's Hall of fame, the family owned business is considered by some pizza connoisseurs to make the best pizza in the world!
Visited in the early afternoon on a Monday in late August. Had an excellent pizza meal here. Tried the classic cheese along with a green pepper and onion - both were delicious. Tasty ingredients, nice crisp crust. Super friendly server. Nice old-school restaurant vibes in here, no pretence. The cooked meats looked great but we didn’t have the appetite for that in addition to the pizza; will need to try the meat next time. Quite fair prices I though. Very convenient location if you happen to be heading to Logan (or arriving). I look forward to my next visit.
The best pizza in Boston! Incredible flavor, fresh ingredients made from scratch, expertly prepared served piping hot. The beef and lamb skewers were truly incredible, smokey flavor from the coals with perfect pink center. They serve them with a big chunk of hearty bread and peppers. Truly a gem and must-visit when in Boston. Traditional decor that reflects the history of this amazing place.
Amazing service by the staff and well-prepared pizza!
Ordered "The Works" with anchovies, with a strong salty taste to it. Would recommend the meat lover option instead!
15-20 minutes wait for our pie on a busy Sunday lunch service.
Don't forget to order their steak tips!
Lack of parking spot, just like all of Boston.
88/100 👍
Food: One of the worst pizza I have ever eaten. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pizza and having eaten pizzas in several countries, this was the the worst pizza. The pizza was soggy, floppy and tasteless. Too much sauce on the base and you could even lift the slice in it's entirety. Unfortunately this place seems is very highly rated and this really brings us to question the competency and authenticity of the reviewers. Falling under pressure to rate an already highly rated place highly is the very unfortunate reality of the times we are living in. And this is not restricted to just the food reviews, this mob mentality can is evident in every walk of our lives. In any case, worst pizza, never going back again. It tastes like frozen pizza (or worse)

Service: Had to Wait for almost 30 minuets outside their restaurant to be seated and then it took another 15 minutes for our waiter to attend our table. When we finally got the menu, the waiter was immediately ready to take our order without giving us any time to go through the menu. Then we had to wait for another 30 minutes or more to receive our pizza. We couldn't finish the pizza and wanted to take the leftovers and requested for a box. The waiteress forgot the box. The tables are very tightly packed in a very small area. Chairs are hard and small in size.
Rating: 1/5
Atmosphere: It was lively, filled with people coming in and out but poor aesthetic appeal.

So while visiting Boston I wanted to eat at the oldest and bestbpizza in the city. This place kept popping up. So I had to come here. My waitress was super friendly. Parking is tough but all of Boston parking is tough. So I ordered the steak skewer and it was good. To be honest o would have liked a A1 sauce to go with it. I know it's different and I didn't ask if they had any. My bad. Anyhow it was good. Then I had to order a pizza 🍕. The pizza was good. The crisp I thought was amazing. It was hot 🔥! But I would buy again and come back.
