Santarpio's Pizza

Although we have heard good about Santarpio’s Pizza, I was surprised seeing pieces of garlic on our pizza! Even if it was in the sauce, they were pretty big and it’s not normal to have garlic in pizza!
Our waiter also did not asked us for anything we might need! He passed our table several times, seeing my water cup empty but never bothered to fill it. I asked another waiter to do so!
Overall, not bad food but I wasn’t satisfied with the service!

Old school and easily one of the best pizzas in the city, bar pie style. But you have to get the lamb tips! Outstanding. And now have harpoon in addition to a couple other old school beers. Nice stop on the way in or out of the airport. Have sat in all the rooms and the service is great. Like the bar seating too. I'm sure I will be back soon.

My wife and I visited Santarpio’s Pizza in East Boston, excited to try a spot known for its great reputation. We initially called in a takeout order that we were told would take 20 minutes. When we arrived, we decided to sit at the bar for drinks and food, planning to just take our original pizza to go. That turned out to be a bad idea.

The first bartender who helped us was great, but we were soon handed off to a woman who must be an owner or family member, because her attitude was completely unacceptable. She ignored us for five minutes, and when my wife asked for ice water, she acted like we were a massive inconvenience. I tried asking for a recommendation between the sausage and hot peppers versus another pizza, and she just rudely snapped, 'They are completely different,' offering zero help.

When the first bartender returned, I asked if we could eat a Meat Lovers pizza at the bar and grab our cheese pizza to go. The woman immediately interjected with a nasty tone, telling us we had to go outside to the takeout window instead. Fed up with the disrespect, I stood up, told them I had planned to order another drink but was all set, and went to the window. They hadn’t even started the Meat Lovers yet and said it would be another 25 minutes, so I canceled it and just took the cheese pizza to go.

The pizza itself was decent and fresh, but no food is worth that level of disrespect—especially when you’re trying to order more food and drinks. If someone is that miserable dealing with paying customers, they should be forced to retire.

Loved this pizza here! Menu is very simple, which is great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy to strike up a conversation with. I highly recommend this location to everyone. It’s in easy walking distance of any hotels near Boston Logan Airport. I look forward to coming back!

Pizza was excellent! The cheese pizza was so tasty and had the perfect amount of cheese. When you pickup a piece, it appears that the cheese is going to fall off but it doesn’t! It holds true even when the bread folds over! I loved the crust ratio as well. Not thick but actually a thing soft crust pizza and the actual crust was nice and crispy. This pizza had a ton of flavor!

The side sausage and steak with bread were also both very good! The steak could use some seasoning but other than that, cooked very well and not tough one bit. Sausage, killer! Bread, pillowy soft. Peppers both come with were crisp and juicy and spicy! Perfect addition to the steak and sausage!

The decor is photos of persons that have visited and Boston legends like Larry Bird, the cast of the Sopranos, Rocky Marciano etc. Really awesome vibes inside and you can tell it’s a great local hangout!

10/10 would recommend! Impressed by how impressed I was with a cheese pizza, that’s how you know they do it right.
