Winner of Boston Magazines® Best of Boston Award three years in a row. 2010, 2011 and 2012.
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!
On a recommendation from a Bostonian living in Chicago, we were told that if we ever traveled to Boston, we need to try this pizza. Great suggestion. The pizzas came out excellent. Very tasty and not a lot of sauce. We also ordered the the BBQ kebabs. We ordered Steak, Lamb and Sausage. My favorite was the Sausage which had a little kick to it. I definitely will be back next time I'm in town.
Its worth the drive!! Wifey had the Garlic and Anchovies pie. And I had the Cheese and Sausage pie (Spicy/Sweet) sauce! Heaven. I drove to the East Boston location. Mind your turns or you'll end up on the Callahan Tunnel.
Cool place to come because of the history but the lady at the bar was not very nice to us. She was so nice to the regulars but made us feel like we were a pain- just because we took a little bit to decide. Wouldn’t come back. The pizza topping was nice but the dough was so dry! Almost like a cracker
A low key family-style restaurant with a great selection of pizzas. We sampled several. The tomato sauce pizzas are a little messy, like a meal on pizza. There are 2 white pizzas, one with shrimp scampi (very garlicky but good) and chicken broccoli. Service is efficient.
If you want to experience rude employees, go here. The pizza is average, better options are available nearby. Maybe they are going for the “masshole” vibe, thinking it’s attractive. The employees reek of entitlement and arrogance. Buyer beware.
