Regina Pizzeria
Best Brick-Oven Pizza in Boston · MA
North End brick oven since 1926
Regina Pizzeria has baked brick-oven pizza in Boston's North End since 1926, and the original Thacher Street location still fires the same seasoned oven that gives its pies their blistered, chewy crust. The room is small, the booths are worn, and the pizza — thin, saucy, and charred — is widely called the city's best.
Billed as 'Boston's Original Pizzeria,' Regina has spawned outposts across New England, but locals know the cramped North End original is the one worth the wait.
