Santarpio's Pizza

The space is small and if you’re sitting on the bar at a booth near the door you’re going to be cold the time if it’s cold out. The set up of the restaurant sucks.

The waitstaff and bartender were nice and attentive.

We sat at the bar because there were no open tables. We only ordered a pizza. The pizza itself was good. Nice chew to the crust, and a good char. It was enjoyable. Toppings are placed under the cheese which I don’t prefer, but I’m from the Midwest. I also wish the crust was seasons or buttered in some way. I got a side of sauce and I enjoyed the pizza sauce they use. It’s not homemade though. You can tell

Santarpios might be a top ten pizzeria in the country. The coal fire grill compliments and the price is right. This place knocks out pies like no other and the dough is perfect, the crust is crispy, the cheese is savory and the meat toppings are insane. The grill in front has meat skewers galore and it's a must do before a flight out of Logan Airport.

I love Santarpio’s! Truly one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. No place quite like it. I’m biased; I come here a lot. Sometimes there’s no wait, and other times there is a line. Regardless, the trip is always worth it.

As you enter the building, to your right, you are immediately invited by the scents of sizzling kabobs of fresh barbecue. To the left, you see tables and booths cozied up with wood paneling and an assortment of Tom Brady and Mike Tyson posters. The only way to describe the ambiance is “very Boston.” A server brings you to your table, and you grab a seat, drink a beer, order some pizza and barbecue, and hang out like the townie you always wanted to be.

I highly recommend the cheese and pepperoni pizzas and the sausage. Pizza is amazing, there is something so special about their sauce and cheese blend. Plus, the toppings are under the cheese! They also have this cornmeal at the bottom of the pizza, which provides a satisfying mouthfeel.

I know it sounds atypical to have barbecue with pizza, but trust me, it works. It comes with in-house made bread and cherry peppers, which are totally unique. I’ve had various barbecue here (steak, lamb, etc), but the sausage is my favorite. It’s got a slightly spicy flavor profile that complements the fattiness of the pork. Also, with the way they cook it, there’s a nice char on the casing.

Food is great. Wait staff is great. Vibes are great. Value is great. 10/10. Wanna hang out? I’ll meet you at Santarpio’s.

The pizza was great and the steak skewer was cooked so well. It was a nice surprise near the airport. We went to several pizza places including Regina pizza and Monte’s. I have to say that this place was delicious and crispy and the sauce was spicy and different. Have no good pics because my family of four destroyed all the food so quickly!!!!

We ordered the grilled lamb tips. It was better than expected. Highly recommended. And don't forget to try the hot cherry pepper which is served with the grills. However, the pizza we expected it to be better, but not bad.
