Santarpio's Pizza
Best Pizza in Boston · MA
East Boston's century-old pizza ritual
Santarpio's has been an East Boston institution since 1903, a no-frills room where the pizza comes thin and blistered and the barbecue — skewers of lamb, sausage, and steak tips grilled over an open flame — is very nearly as famous. Regulars come for both, washed down with a pitcher amid decades of neighborhood clamor.
Cash-oriented, gruff, and unchanged, Santarpio's is the kind of place Bostonians defend with religious fervor, a century-old pizzeria that has never chased a trend.
