East Boston
Santarpio's
Boston, MA, 02128, United States
Since 1904, many locals have been making the trip across the Charles River to East Boston to enjoy the authentic pies at Santarpio's. The eatery is known for its crispy-crusted Neapolitan pizza with edges slightly blackened from the brick oven. Toppings are limited but include everything from house-made sausage to hot peppers to fresh garlic, and there is even a small menu with items like the ever-popular lamb skewers. No-nonsense waiters take your order without being overly friendly, and you better have cash because this establishment doesn't take credit cards.
Insider Tip:
Stick with the simpler toppings—oregano-seasoned mozzarella and garlic, or mild sausage and mushrooms—that don’t overwhelm the crust’s smoky flavor.
