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

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.

alright, crust a bit dry and nothing to stunning. anchovy pizza lol club penguin made me say yes. But too salty and overloaded which i dont directly mind but it wasn’t a good kind of overload. Cool interior vibe, the black tile outlines on ceiling, nice! Fun posters and really nice and thoughtful waitress

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.

Our server Ginamarie was amazing and the pizza was great. I didn’t really care for the lamb. It lacked seasoning but it was cooked well otherwise.
