Best

Cheese pizza has been perfected here. Amazing taste, cornmeal crusted pizza for a crunchy crust, the cheese and tomato sauce or delicious. Sausage and pepper pizza is also amazin...

Worst

It's good pizza only because the restaurant is in Boston and not New York. New York has the edge on us, not in baseball but in pizza. But, unless you're going to take the 4 hour...

santarpio's rocks 8/8/2003

Santarpio's is absolutely the best pizza in the U.S., not to mention the most succulent lamb around. I live in California now and I have literally cried over the lack of even half way decient pizza. I lived in Boston for thirty years and went to Santarpio's every week since I was three. I miss Santarpio's pizza soooo much, I might have to move back for it. Pros: inexpensive Cons: , no parking more

Excellent pies without all the BS -- great grill too! 5/20/2003

Worth the adventure. Physically the space is nothing (more like a bad cellar conversion to a den). But you're here for the food!!!! Everything is fresh, made to order and served H-O-T. Order anything you desire - there is no way to be disappointed. Pros: the pizza, the price, the pizza Cons: You want dessert? Go to nana's! more

SANTARPIOS! where GOD gets his PIZZA 4/22/2003

ive had pizza's from all over and NOBODY , I Mean NOBODAY has a tastier sauce,crust, in fact the pizza is so light you can finnish one off by yourself. The proper protocal is order a sausage or lamb tips before eating your pie. the resteraunt itself has such a local EASTBOSTON atmosphere, that if you get out of line , you be sleeping with the fish's soon enough , you feel you just stepped into the 1940's and joe pecci & gang run the joint. GREAT SERVICE, GREAT FOOD .. you better eat there or you need to speak to the STAFF ! Pros: great food, great value, great local folks Cons: none, none, none more

Still Eastie Local Joint 3/16/2003

Grew up going here and still love to eat here. They make a great, thin crust pizza and excellent barbecue. The service is far from warm and fuzzy, although the place is full of character and local history. Not only the boxing photos, but the connection with the 1980 USA miracle on ice hockey team. And don't even think of insulting the Red Sox. No it's not pristine, it's a local joint. Yeah, there can be long lines on weekends so beware but most people who go there, both locals and others will generally say it's worth it. PS, The only kind of wine they serve is ""red"" or ""white"" and if you want more particulars than that, it's really not your kind of place. Pros: Local joint, Close to airport, Unpretentious Cons: Often Crowded, Long Lines, Limited menu more

Where's the competition? 12/5/2002

It's good pizza only because the restaurant is in Boston and not New York. New York has the edge on us, not in baseball but in pizza. But, unless you're going to take the 4 hour drive, this is the place to go. Pros: cheat eats, it's pizza! Cons: long wait, not worth the wait more

Better than Bertucci's!! 9/30/2002

Bertucci's BETTER than Santarpio's? C'mon!! Santarpios is a Boston MUST for pizza. Bertucci's pizza quality changes between every restaurant. They are inconsistent in quality, freshness and taste. Santarpio's is always surpasses themselves with each pizza they make. If you really want fantastic, no-frills pizza, make the trip to Santarpio's. It runs neck-and-neck with Regina's Pros: quality, inexpenseive, best tasting Cons: atmosphere, parking/location more
