January 8, 2020 Terina Blouin

Discover Restaurants offering the best Pizza food in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston, and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Gardner, featuring art masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, unless you've watched a Red Sox baseball game from the bleachers.

Five friends planned for a special night out. Waited for over an hour with a reservation that was confirmed twice (once by text and the restaurant called me the day of the reservation). I was fuming by the time we sat down. Fortunately we had Nate as our waiter. He calmed us down and was really wonderful. I had arancini for an appetizer. Very good. The sauce here is wonderful. The eggplant parm was incredible - maybe the best I’ve ever had. Each person in my group of five thoroughly enjoyed their meal. I tried my friend’s pollo saltimbocca. Delicious. I blame management for overbooking. Ridiculous. But the food was so good I will give 4 stars.

Locale Boston

Reviewed By tsmith458

We had a great dinner at a very reasonable price at Locale. Their pizza menu ranges from standard (marghareta, pepperoni with red sauce and mozzarella) to gourmet. We couldn’t decide which we liked better - the “Tartuffo” with mozzarella, fontina, caramelized onion, mushrooms with truffle oil and balsamic glaze) or pistachio pesto. 3 pizzas fed a hungry family of 5. The salads were generous enough to share. Service was excellent (thank you, Maria) and the price was right!

Very, very good (and creative) pizzas and very, very good (and diverse) ice cream. Hard to believe the chocolate sorbet is not ice cream - ridiculously creamy! The spaghetti with house made pasta wasn’t bad either! It’s no wonder they are so busy. Rachel, the owner, was very helpful to get us seated quickly.

My husband and I found this place after taking the Charlestown Ferry from Long Wharf. The food was delicious. I had a salad and he had the sandwich special. The food was fresh and we both agreed that our meals blended unique tastes to come up with an excellent lunch. The beer was great too. Back patio was shady and lovely.

On a pizza lover’s bucket list. The original location had a line that quickly moved. Guys chose to get slices of pepperoni to go. No congregating at the bar. Location in a neighborhood on building corner. Worth the walk. Check the bucket list.

Galleria Umberto

Reviewed By pistolofpete

Get there early as the lines beef up quickly. They only serve square slices of cheese, but it's fantastic. It really is all about the ingredients. You can throw some extra cheese or ground pepper too. In addition, they also have some calzones, arancini, and drinks available for sale. Enjoy! It's cash only.

Based on the TripAdvisor review's, I was excited to try Italian Express. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but we left unimpressed.I ordered a Big Slice of Pizza with sausage and mushrooms. It was definitely a huge slice at a very reasonable price. The dough and sauce were relatively tasty, but all they do is take a pre-cooked slice of cheese pizza, slap some sausage and mushrooms on top of the cooked pizza and warm it up again. Maybe I should have expected this, since I ordered a slice of pizza. But it wasn't as good as the reviews made it out to be.My husband asked how the BBQ Chicken sandwich was made. The waiter said the sandwich had a chicken cutlet, with barbecue sauce on top, and whatever else he wanted on it. Maybe he should have asked more questions, but he was surprised to find that the chicken cutlet was breaded. But he did say the roll was extremely fresh.The restaurant is clean, nothing fancy, but perfectly fine for a small neighborhood restaurant. They did a significant amount of take-out business while we were there, so maybe we just ordered the wrong things. But for me, I won't be going back.
