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!
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.
As a born-and-raised Southerner, I thought I knew good pizza until my husband took me to Santarpio’s in Boston. He’s been talking about this place for years, and now I completely understand why. The crust has that perfect char and the sauce is incredible. The lamb is amazing!
This was my third visit, and it’s officially become a must-stop every time we’re in town. It’s old-school, no-frills, and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of pizza that ruins you for anywhere else. We may live far away, but this place has my heart (and my appetite)!
The pizza was wonderful! I would recommend getting the Works. Crust has a good chew with crispy edges and a perfect char. The steak tips were good, but slightly under seasoned.
We’ve been to Santarpio’s at least five times this week yes!! it’s that good. The sauce alone is out of this world: perfectly balanced, rich, and full of flavor without ever being overpowering. Every bite feels like exactly what pizza is supposed to taste like.
And we have to shout out Franklin, who is absolutely amazing. His energy, friendliness, and attention to customers make every visit even better. When someone loves what they do, it shows and Franklin absolutely sets the tone.
If you’re looking for consistently excellent food with service to match, Santarpio’s is the spot. Already looking forward to visit number six. 🍕🔥
The pizza is satisfactory. The barbecue option is highly recommended, as it is exceptionally flavorful.
