Best of Boston

1995 Best Pizza, Classic

Santarpio’s

Who knows pizza better than teenagers? We sent four teenagers who had trained on a field trip to Italy to sample pies in the North End and East Boston. Their pick: Santarpio’s, with caveats. The wait staff is surly, the dining room is grungy, and the location is convenient only if you’re heading to Logan. But the pizza is still the best. We suggest takeout.
