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.
This is an authentic, no frills neighborhood joint. The place was busy on a rainy Sunday with families and friends. There's something nostalgic about it.
The steak tips and lamb tips were cooked very well, juicy and tender though lacking salt and seasoning. Sausage was good, a bit spicy. I didn't understand the addition of the bread, it was dry and there was no butter or olive oil to go with it. Portions were ok for the price.
Pizza was ok, not my kind of pizza, the crust is very thin and cracker like, it doesn't hold up under additional toppings. Flavor of sauce and toppings was good, toppings were also generous.
Service was fine, it took the wait staff a little bit to notice we were waiting to be seated.
Overall it's worth a try, there's a reason they've been in business over 100 years.
The best and 2nd oldest pizzeria in Boston - famous for its rivalry with Regina's Pizzeria. The pizza comes well done and crispy. Try the garlic on pepperoni for extra flavor. Must try their bbq: steak or sausage - fired over a wood coal grill, it is absolutely delicious and served with spicy Italian peppers and a huge loaf of bread.
Feels like Boston in here! A good rendition of the Massachusetts Greek-style pie. Good steak tips too. My advice: take it easy on the toppings. Too many and you get a wet mess. The anchovies are quite strong and salty as well.
