50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Boston

“It matches the hype. The Sicilian Pizza is…perfect. There’s not enough superlatives to do it justice and if there were, even then it wouldn’t reach hyperbole. Craziest thing of it all is the pricing. Four slices, arancini, and a drink for $16.00? How? In today’s economy how are they keeping the price this low? Also amazing. Just go. Don’t think about it, don’t pass go, don’t collect $200…go get your dang perfect slice.“

“The pizza was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. Regina's North End“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“Good tacos good pizza service staff 💯“

“Delicious pizza. One slice is actually two huge slices! Affordable prices. Will visit again.“

“Food was amazing! Happened upon this while touring Boston and loved it so much, we came back the next day for more. Small space, and serve your own drinks, but the food is worth it. We had their garlic bread, burger, fries, baked ziti and pizza.“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

“YUM - AAAYY - ZING!!

Words are insufficient to describe my excitement for Mario’s!!!

I’ll start with THIN CRUST - Classic Neapolitan pizza, ITALIAN style. Then FRESH FRESH FRESH ingredients make all the difference. I look forward to it, whenever I can make it, usually for lunch on Friday, the only week day they’re open at 12:00 noon. Awesome vibe that’s 100% local local local. Small place, mostly take out, but you can seat 3-4 people at the window counter, which I love. Old school marble counter, with comfy padded bar stools. You have to know it’s here as the location is a tad off the beaten path of prime visibility. Which ‘proves’ one of my philosophies ‘ great location, often mehh food, not so great location - the food must be amazing. So many amazing points …. One of which is the ACTUAL MARIO! Punctuating the super local CHEF OWNED cafe. He’s here all the time, super nice guy, a joy to chat with … and he truly loves making incredible pizza!!“

“Great pizza, great location!“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Stopped in on a Thursday night with the family, no reservations, and waited about 35 minutes for a table. Totally worth it.

We ordered two pizzas, the burrata salad, and a charcuterie board, and everything hit the mark. The pizzas were perfectly cooked, great crust and flavor, the burrata was fresh and creamy, and the charcuterie board was exactly what you’d hope for—quality meats and cheeses done right.

Food came out quick, service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe was casual but lively.

Bottom line: food was mad good, everyone left happy, and I’d absolutely come back.“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere. Definitely will be a regular place we go when visiting the area.“

“Great food!! It's a do not miss when I'm working in town, near the Boston Garden!“

“Just grabbed a couple pizzas to go. They were really good. I ordered on line, and the service was friendly and easy.
The atmosphere wasnt all that great. Small, crowded and loud, but since I wasnt eating there, I did not care.
I would go back next time Im in Boston.“

“We had the Chicken, Broccoli and Garlic pizza and that was the best pizza I have had in a long time! We also had an Italian sausage pizza that was tasty, but I would recommend the CBG pizza to everyone! They atmosphere was great; lots of cool memorabilia around. It was our first meal in Boston and it was a great way to start our trip!“

“My daughter and I love this place and we are always welcomed with a hearty hello. Even when we aren’t going in, the guys always wave when we walk by and have become a fixture in the neighborhood over the last year. The pizza is delicious and they have some delicious combos. I highly recommend a try!“

“There is no better way to describe this other than Amazing. I have visited this place in the morning, daytime, or even at night and they never disappoint. The most warm hearted and welcoming staff and the owner is the most hospitable person ever. The cherry on top was when I urgently needed a couple of pizzas for a small office pizza Friday lunch party and I ordered it the evening before. Although they open at 11 they brought me the food along with delivery on time with to the door service. The pizza was still very warm and it was sooo good that a person that wanted to take leftovers home couldn't find a single slice by the end of the shift 😂. The Meatlover Pizza was the star people ADORED it. The freshness of the meat and the dough were an amazing combo. The margarita blew everyone away as well That day I also ordered Lule between bread for myself and let me tell you that is their specialty. The meat was so juicy and tender and you gotta sprinkle some sumakh. I always read reviews of this place and they are like where is their non pizza menu? I couldn't tell you that but all you need to do is ask. They have a variety of options and all of the meat is Halal. This place despite being small is so popular that they are packed a lot of the time during the day. That's why I'm pretty sure they are expanding, as they should. If you need catering for a small, medium, or large event they will have your back as well. I got to know them through an unrelated event where they catered for a 100 person event and that taste still lingers on my taste buds. Bottom line is don't be fooled by the old negative reviews. This place is booming and as long as you're friendly and hungry they will not disappoint.“

“As a visiting New Yorker, I think I know what a good slice is and this spot hits it spot on. Old school, nyc around the way type of regular slice. Taste is on point all that’s missing is the old school fruit punch rolling around in the machine. I’d def try this again!“

“This has been a staple on Dudley St for some time with fantastic dinner plates, generous portions, & doesn’t give bland like other places I’ve been to. They have a variety of options to choose from and you sure won’t be disappointed. My favorite are the calzones. They even at one point sold pastelitos or as many know Spanish beef/chicken patties. Very tasty. My family will never go elsewhere.“

“First time ordering here, great tasting food and good portions for the price. Would order again if we come back to the area.“

“The best pizza I have ever had! Share a Meat Lover's Pizza with my husband. We barely spoke a word to each other because we were devouring every heavenly bite. The ricotta on it added so much, the sauce and crust were perfect. We brought the last 3 slices on our flight back to L. A. that night for round two. Next time in Boston, I will be coming here!“

“Food made with love is something that you can’t just find anywhere, but you can with one bite into any item on the menu at Graffiti Pizza and Street Food. My fiancée and I went tonight, I ordered a regular slice and I got the Pizzaiola sub. The slice was simple, however the taste of homemade ingredients slaps you in the face. The pizzaiola sub was something extraordinary. Half a pound of chuck steak, delicious vodka sauce and homemade mozz on fresh Italian bread… can’t beat that. For dessert we got homemade pumpkin pie. Don’t tell her but my grandma couldn’t make a better pumpkin pie on thanksgiving day. Everything was great, phenomenal date night and the owner Dave is a gem. One hell of a spot, We will be back.“

“This place is one of my favs. I go here all the time. I love building my own pizza, the food is great, the owner is the best! There is plenty of seating here, its good for you and your friends or you and the family. I definitely recommend this place.“

“A hidden gem in Dorchester ! One of those spots you’ll easily become a regular.“

“Last night was our last night in Boston and we found lilys ealier in our trip. It was really good the first night so we wanted to go back. When we got there they were full. But made an exception that if the people showed for ther reservation we would have to move. We was ok with that. So we ordered pizza and drinks. The food is amazing. Our waitress was wonderful. Definitely recommend going there.“

“This place is really great. The pizza is spectacular and the service is friendly. The prices are also very fair. I tried the roasted eggplant pomodoro and it was amazing.“

“great place to eat food great not greesy insides always spotless“

“My family and I have been on a road trip down the coast starting in Maine. We have not had a single satisfying meal until we arrived here. Walked in and we were seated immediately, our server was super polite, and the food was absolutely spectacular. Not to mention our cheapest meal (8 people for under $200) so far. 100% would visit if im ever back in Boston after this trip.“

“Good bar pizzas with so many options, you’ll can’t go wrong with what you get, especially with the dill ranch on the side! The sweet dreams and pickle pizza are my favorites. Usually pretty busy on the weekends since it’s inside a brewery.“

“Visited this week during vacation in Boston. Amazing pizza, crust and toppings were cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to visit again!“

“EVERYTHING I ordered was exactly how I like my food, cuz im picka!y!!! I got a large cheese pizza french fries and mac and cheese bites and everything was so tasty that it left me feigning for more!!! And it all came oot to only like.... $30!! That was with delivery too!!! No more paying $70-$80 t⁷o Uber Eats anymore!! I'm ordering from this place every time from now on!!!!“

“We celebrated my daughter's birthday here and the food was outstanding! Everyone in our family was very happy with their meals and the service was wonderful. They brought out a dessert for my daughter and everyone sang to her. The restaurant is cozy and decorated beautifully for Christmas. We will definitely be back next time we are in Boston!!“

“I absolutely love this place, I come with my family twice to thrice a month and we enjoy sitting here and eating. To begin, the food is so delicious and is affordable. Their pizza is one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time, but what truly separates this joint from other Papa Gino joints is the hospitality. This place brings family together. The staff treat us with kindness and respect and check on us to see if we’re enjoying our meal! This is truly appreciated as someone who has lived in Hyde Park all my life. Papa Gino’s is the best atmosphere to have your lunch and dinner!

Kid-friendliness: They provide you with a high chair.“

“Friendly and respectful. Made sure we had everything we needed and some. Have some good deals for bigger groups. Chicken tenders were amazing. Real chicken not the fake rubbery chicken. Fries were good, tried all of them. Pizza was a hit with the kids (even the very picky ones!). If you’re looking for a place to hit quick or dine in, it’s here!“

“First timer based on strong recommendations, and it did not disappoint! As a loyal Sorellina and Mooo patron over the years, I expected near perfection, and the roman style margherita pizza was on par with my expectations. Delivery snafu using third-party commercial service off the website, but they surely made up for it. Chase was a rock star!“

“Good people and great food.“

“Great quality, reasonable prices. I love popping in here after work for an empanada and a slice of cheese, for $4.50!!! They regularly have a pork shoulder roasted (pernil). Slice of cheese is thick and made with quality cheese and dough, unlike all the other cheap places that do ultra thin crust.“

“I used to order linguine with red sauce every single day. And an appetizer like cheese fries, mozzarella sticks, etc. I loved the side salad and the garlic bread. Sometimes I used to order that in the morning after staying up all night. I moved away many years ago. Still thinking about this place.“

“Best restaurant in all of Boston“

“I went here a few times when I was at berklee over the summer and it was always pretty good but one night I showed up and I ordered a bunch of square pizza cuz they had a card minimum and a slice was slightly under 5 bucks and I already had a drink so I was like ok lets get 2 pieces and it was seriously the best pizza I ever ate, I had eaten dinner like an hour or so before so I was like not hungry at all but i finished both of em cuz they were that good it was that good I went back but they did not have the pizza again so I got something else and it was also pretty good and so I was like yeah this joint is something else! I was a little irritated I couldn't get the same pizza I got that night but I guess it was just kind of a blessing or something hopefully if slash when I end up in Boston next they'll have something for me cheers guys porter out“

“Consistently delicious. Nice clean space. My favs Milano Special pizza, Greek salad, Italian sub with the works--way above average.“

“Love the Quattro Formaggi pizza“

“L Street Diner is a neighborhood gem! Although known for their delicious breakfast selections, including an Irish Breakfast, and amazing brick oven pizza, you can't miss with the rest of the menu! Best Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Roast turkey dinner (and calzone) with Turkeys roasted on-site daily! Their BBQ is amazing and don't forget dessert with cakes and pies bakes fresh every week! Beer and Wine selection available! TV on with sports and rarely ever a wait!“

“When I come in I usually get the same thing and it’s always amazing service I get when I do. I love the atmosphere. The menu selection is vast and you can customize your food at your liking. I love the pizza menu and the Ramon Sicilian pizza is delicious!“

“This is what I wrote 3 months ago in my review. So I am here now eating at Puritan Pizza and it’s also my first time eating here as well. I got Alfredo with Shrimp, Broccoli, Mushrooms, and Chicken. My meal is very creamy and delicious! I am hoping to try their pizza next time I come here. ❤️🍕“

“My husband grew up in the neighborhood but we live in NC now. We visit every year and stop at Rizzo’s at least once per visit because pizza just isn’t the same in the south. During our visit earlier this week, our 4 & 5 year olds were being cranky little 💩’s. The guy working, who is there every time we visit, saw that our kids were cranky and showed compassion towards us and offered for us to take the kids behind the counter to watch how they make pizza. We appreciated it so much and we’re thankful he showed our kids some grace and made a frustrating situation a little less difficult. The pizza hit the spot too“

“Went to Pat’s last week for the 1st time and the hospitality was off of the charts! The owner Pat took a few minutes out of his time to come and talk with me and have great conversation. I ordered a large cheese pizza which was awesome! Huge slices! The fresh ingredients and the fresh crust were fantastic. I reviewed the pizza and it was an 8.4 which is a high score! Will definitely be back! -Arnold 🔥🍕🎉“

“I want to leave a good review for this restaurant after having to put up with my door dash driver in a bizarre situation. I called the restaurant four times because the driver kept telling me that the owner wouldn’t give him the order. The owner over the phone was very friendly and seemed to genuinely have no idea what he was talking about. The driver was there for thirty minutes and said he was waiting in line ignored. Showed me a picture of him in line. The owner said this wasn’t the case, and that the driver didn’t appear to speak English well and didn’t seem to understand to just to go to the counter and ask for the order and go. The dasher told me strange things, like the owner said that he was a bad person, hates all delivery drivers and that he deducts from their accounts. What? So after 30+ minutes of this weirdness the driver canceled and the next driver that was assigned was there immediately and delivered my pizza no problem. Unfortunately, I couldn’t report the driver once it had been reassigned but his name was GEAN. The owner called me back, apologizing for the first driver’s behavior and gave me a free drink. The pizza was excellent BTW!!“

“I live right around the block from Target Pizza and it's a regular once a week stop for me, at least. Their menu is pretty extensive with something for just about anyone, and the food is Great. The ingredients are fresh and the portions are always very generous.“

“My husband & I had a lovely lunch there this afternoon. Our first time there. Will certainly be back. Thank you so much for your hospitality.“
