Guidebook for Boston
Food Scene
Santarpio's Pizza has been around since 1903, so when we say “old-school,” we mean it. Much to the dismay of certain Bostonians, Santarpio’s is known for its New York-style pies, whose chewy crusts are thick and crispy enough to bear the weight of the generously distributed Italian cheese and sauce. Keep it simple with a cheese pizza, or get the sausage & garlic pie for a kick of meat. Santarpio's is far from a one-hit wonder though: its skewers of lamb and steak tips make up a solid barbecue option, as does the house-made sausage on its own. The East Boston location is cash-only, so spare yourself a scolding from one of the notoriously cranky serves and head to the ATM beforehand.

“Generous” portions of “delicious, old world–style” Italian dishes (notably “homemade pastas”) doled out by an “attentive” team make this “affordable” East Boston “destination” a “consistent” go-to; with reservations only taken for parties of six or more and “lines out the door”, it’s “a beast to get into”, but it’s “worth the wait” as long as you expect a “cozy” joint that’s all about “the food and atmosphere – not the decor.”
