"...Absolutely
the best pizza
in Western Mass. Great brick oven pizza. Thinner crust which is unheard of
in these parts. The pizza comes out looking like
old school Italy. Great tasting nutty crust,unbelievable fresh sauce
and just the right amount of cheese and toppings. Family
run with the BEST personalities around!!!
Tiny tiny little place but that is whatadds to the nostalgic atmosphere. My
favorite special pizza is their white. WOW!" |

"Gourmet pizza, reasonable price. Prompt
service!" /
"The atmosphere is great and the pizza is absolutely delicious. My favorite
is Chicken Bacon Ranch and no one anywhere makes it as good as them and
their prices are outrageously low. If you're a college student at UMASS or
just passing through you have to eat here!!!!! I live here luckily so I can
enjoy it all year round!"

"The
Margherita pizza has a perfect thin crisp crust, top
quality fresh mozzarella, and a delicious uncooked tomato sauce. The proportions of sauce, crust, and cheese is just
right. FINALLY, a Boston area pizza that rivals
New Haven and New York!" |

"Amidst all of the many pizza
joints in the city, Bostone Pizza gets a little lost in the shuffle.
This is unfortunate because this Newbury Street pizza shop produces a
delicious Sicilian slice. Strolling up the famous Newbury Street can be
hard work. Reward yourself with a slice of fresh, Sicilian style pizza from
Bostone." |

The crust is

"The entire package is amazing. Great crust,
awesome
combination of toppings, just the perfect amount of cheese and
sauce. Their slices are GIGANTIC!!! My husband and I would walk
10 miles for this pizza..." /
"Ernesto’s is truly a
hidden gem in every sense of the word. It can be difficult to find by
tourists, who are often directed towards the famous Pizzeria Regina’s just a
few blocks away.
My recommendation to anyone in the North End
seeking out a good slice: grab one from both restaurants. , I can PROMISE
that although you can’t go wrong with Regina’s, Ernesto’s is the better
pizza. Don’t let the small store front fool you. What Ernesto’s lacks in
vibrant décor or street appeal it absolutely makes up for in taste."

Everything from the glass coke bottles to the original pizza ovens and the
thin-cheesey-oil-basted- goodness !!! It's a Boston tradition- everything
authentic! "it's wicked good" :) |

Ms. Pizza |
"Upper Crust
Pizza, which is a local and growing chain of about 20 pizza shops, serves up
gourmet thin crust pizza in Boston and in surrounding neighborhoods. Diners
can expect a consistent pizza from one shop to the next.
The pizzas are thin, and the toppings are all
fresh. I enjoy this chain because it is NOT AT ALL a greasy bite, and has
the right balance of cheese and sauce. Oftentimes I find that pizza joints
load the pizza with cheese, which overpowers the crust, sauce, and other
toppings. Upper Crust is careful to cover each pizza perfectly and
should ABSOLUTELY be checked out if you are in the Boston area." |

Interview on

"Braintree
is not far from Boston. Because of this, residents may feel inclined to hop
in their cars or board the beloved ‘T’ to head into town for dinner.
Although a night out in the big city is fun every once and again, NOTHING
beats a cozy night at home with a glass (or two) of vino and the PERFECT
PIZZA. I cannot stress enough that Angelina’s Pizzeria on Elm Street in
Braintree delivers (in terms of the pizza itself and also by car)!
You can expect a thin crust pie with fresh ingredients
and, most importantly, a delectable crust. As any good pizza lover knows,
the crust is the most important and I can say with confidence that
Angelina’s has figured out their crust. Its thin, its light, its airy, and
it soaks up the sauce, cheese and flavors better than any surrounding pizza
restaurant or shop. Don’t wait! Run over to Angelina’s today!" |

"... They make a
medium-thick pie and lay down rectangles of mozzarella on top only. The
sauce is delicious and they cook it just enough to get it to meld in right
with the cheese. Excellent." |

Get the Sausage." /
"Want a hall of fame pizza?
Check out Santarpio’s in either East Boston or the newer
location in Peabody, MA.
This family owned pizza shop has been around
since 1903 and therefore has over 100 years of practice making the perfect
pizza. Stylistically, you can expect a NY style pizza,
an array of toppings, and consistency from one visit to the next."

"Anzio’s Brick Oven Pizza provides

"What makes
this pizza so special is everything about it. The sauce is sweet and the
crust is cooked perfectly. All ingredients are made every day so each
slice is
always fresh.
I used to work there, so I am familiar with how much
is put into making this pizza taste so good. Only 3 toppings offered. Cheese, Extra
cheese and
pepperoni. I only get the cheese. I think the fact that they don't have to
deliver and have been in business for many decades
speaks for itself. " |

has a pizza that is unlike others. It is a 10-12 inch pizza, carcker
thin with sweet sauce and an awesome blend of cheeses. The sausage
pizza is to die for! Looks like a dive but great family restaurant..." |

Ms. Pizza |
"Marinho’s
Pizzeria, situated conveniently on Main Street in Millis, MA is the
unsung hero of suburban pizza joints. The pizza is thin, it is large, and it
is more than satisfying.
The owner is often there making each pizza himself, although his staff is
more than capable of keeping the pizzas coming! His shop is worthy of a
downtown real estate plot based on how consistently delicious it is. If
you’re feeling hungry, feeding a soccer team, or plan on huddling up in your
house for three days during a blizzard, go for jumbo size. No regrets." |

From their website: "Pi Pizzeria was started with the intention of
preserving old, classic Neapolitan recipes while imparting our own twist to
make it authentically “Pi Pizza.” In Naples, every pizzeria is slightly
different – each adding its own flourish of tradition and personality. So is
the case with Pi Pizzeria, making it authentically Italian." |
