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.“

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

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“Took my 9 year old son here today for lunch When we were done, he said “Daddy, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had!” My 9 year old is a major pizza snob“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

“Best pizza I’ve had in Boston. Broccoli pizza was phenomenal and tasted very fresh 👌“

“I wasn’t sure what to make of a mushroom pizza with a salsa verde. But the flavors were perfect together and the pizza was delicious. Great service to boot. Went for lunch so a more limited menu. Look forward to trying their dinner menu.“

“awesome pizza and huge. My 10 year old approves.“

“The owner was very nice! My mom and I landed in Boston earlier in the day and heard great reviews about the place and decided to check it out. The wings (Wing Dings) were sooooo good! We asked for recommendations and the owner was very upfront about his meatballs (in him not getting the ones he would serve us until 5pm). We got the Chicken Bacon Ranch panini and the Chipotli Chicken. I loved the CBR—the bread was crispy and fresh with a hint of rosemary. My mom loved her panini. The portions are huge so expect leftovers if you get an appetizer!“

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

“Amazing find - not far from TD Gardens. Just a few small tables inside, but well worth sitting in and enjoying the delicious brick-oven pizza fresh from the oven. Also had a cappuccino and a cannoli - both great! Highly recommend!“

“This place is excellent! Janice was so incredibly sweet and kind and made some great recommendations. We had the shrimp scampi pizza and the works with no anchovies - both were amazingly seasoned and the crust was perfection. We also had the chicken and steak skewers with the Italian bread - again seasoned and cooked perfectly. From the moment you walk in and see the skewers sizzling on the grill and hearing all the talking and laughing, the vibe is welcoming and comfortable!“

“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!“

“went for first time today so good I am sure it will be the first of many visits“

“I had the Margherita pizza with peri peri chicken added, and honestly, it was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! The quality of the ingredients really shines through in every bite. The chicken was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and with just the right amount of peri peri spice. The cheese complemented the spice so well and brought all the flavors together beautifully.

You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients, and it made the whole pizza absolutely delicious. Such a perfect combination of flavors! Definitely recommend trying it—I’ll certainly be coming back for more! 🍕❤“

“First experience at LFG and wont be our last! Food was ON POINT! So much food and everything was delicious ! Fantastic gluten-free options and super mindful of allergies/safety. Michelle our server was fantastic and accommodating and helped us celebrate our daughter’s birthday. LFG has a whole new meaning! Let’s flipping go (LFG) to Lla Familia Giorgios (LFG)!“

“We had over 20 people to feed after our successful event down the street. Ahmed pulled tables together, recommended foods and sizes, offered us cups of water, and let us try their sinfully delicious Fried Oreos! We ended up getting three XL pies, half a tray of crunchy-on-the-outside and soft-on-the-inside french fries, half a tray of salad with an assortment of dressings, and the 30-piece chicken wings. Our crew left completely satisfied, completely full. We felt so welcomed, so pampered. We will definitely come again. Thank you, Ahmed, for your kind hospitality!“

“Best restaurant in all of Boston“

“Wow this place has amazing pizza and so many options. I came here to catch up with family while I was visiting from LA and every thing we ate was delicious. Plus the food is easy to share! While some ingredients may surprise you as pizza ingredients, like the Tiki Masala pizza, the taste is divine. The Masala was my favorite with the Seol Fire being a close second, but we also tried the Dolce Piccante (hot honey and ricotta), the Calabrese Bianca, the Seoul Fire, Truffle Gratin, the Florentine Bianca (A zucchini one) and nothing disappointed. If you enjoy pizza this a place you have to check out. But on top of the great food, the service was amazing! Staff were kind, polite, and on top of making sure we got all our items. The Arincinni and Nutella beignets were great sides as well!“

“Incredible pizza! The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the toppings were delicious and liberally applied. 2 pizzas was enough to feed me and my grandparents. We got the smoked pepperoni pizza, and the sausage + red pepper pizza, both were delicious.“

“I love their chicken shawarma, homemade bread, and yes, how did I forget to mention their garlic bread! Best garlic bread I have ever tried… they make everything fresh! You won’t see anything that is reheated. They have their own authentic version of the taste… which will make you glued to come here every time.“

“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.“

“Absolutely a great place! Service was great, and outdoor seating was awesome!“

“Excellent food , atmosphere and our waiter , Garrison went above and beyond to make our experience perfect ! Oysters and clam chowder were delicious!“

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

“super kind and generous. let us use the bathroom when we came for a concert across the street. we then decided to grab some pizza. absolutely delicious and amazing and creative flavor combos. service was great and the staff were awesome. also fun to see the pizza dough being thrown skillfully in the air as we waited for ours to be made. 10/10. so glad we stopped in!!“

“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.“

“our favorite spot in Roslindale“

“Disappointing is an understatement. Our server was not friendly, but whatever I can live with that. What I can't live with is not checking in on our table for 40 mins. This is no exaggeration, I had to flag down a different server 2x before our server checked in. That said the food was fine and the cocktails were very good. The server did comp my 2nd drink after I waited 15 mins for it to arrive after ordering, but there was no recovering from our disappointing experience.“

“Awesome subs and doughnuts“

“I took a recommendation and trust me it was delicious... Buffalo Chicken Calzon that's to flavorful, this place is kept busy and now I know why, to many times walking by this place. Today was that day and I am going to enjoy this to the last bite.“

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

“Pizza, steak tips and CZB are top notch!“

“My son is autistic. He very picky about food. Only likes pepperoni pizza. Right before closing I went to get my son 2 pizza slices. They only had steak and pepper slices left. I got 2 slices thinking if my son doesn't like it I'll eat it. I had to convince my son to try it once he did those slices were gone in record time. I was excited because I found something else my son liked. Great job Backwood Pizza!!“

“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 🔥🍕🎉“

“Hands down, the best pizza we've had on our entire East Coast trip! We've enjoyed pizza at several stops along the way, but Willie's Pizza takes the top spot! Absolutely delicious and one of those places that leaves you wishing you had room for just one more slice. Such a great find and definitely a place we'd return to!“

“Flop: Little to none on all 3 pies. Grease factor: Pepperoni was a little heavy but not a drop on the Buff chick or Five cheese. S2C: On point in all 3 in every way. Char & Crust: absolutely perfect. Overall this is probably my new favorite spot and the staff/ service was great. Haven't been since they changed locations and they did not disappoint. Joe 9.5 Buff chicken 8.9 Five cheese 9.2 Pepperoni Mike Hybo Frahm 9.4 Buff chicken 8.7 Five cheese 9.0873 Pepperoni“

“Genuinely some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The cutest little store and the nicest staff. They also have discounts for staff from the hospital which is AMAZING. I’m literally dragging all my friends and coworkers with me to Gary’s pizza. Also get their cookies if you like buttery chocolaty chewy salty cookie. Love ya“

“We were trying to go somewhere else, but the wait was too long so we ended up going here. The pizza was awesome. The pastas were great. The only nitpicky thing I could come up with is the tables lwerr very small, but it is a small dining room room. Great food.“

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

“I absolutely LOVE this place. We have so many brunch options in the area, but THIS is the right choice remember I said it. The mini donuts are a dream. I literally dreamt about them 🤣 Brussel sprouts are mouth watering & the apple cinnamon pancakes are out of this world! The breakfast sandwich is on a cheddar biscuit… nuff said! The service was so outstanding I didn’t have to ask for anything! They made me feel like I was family 💜 I will be back for dinner, which is just as great as brunch but for brunch look no further! The decor is something special as well. I posted a few pics but please go check it out for yourself. You won’t regret it! PS they love my dog. Spoiled her the entire time! lol 💜“

“Absolutely amazing food and wonderful service! Best Pizza and Pasta is a fantastic place to enjoy delicious, fresh food. The pizza is full of flavor, the pasta is delicious, and everything is prepared with care. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. You can really tell they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Great atmosphere, generous portions, and an overall excellent experience. Definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommended! 🍕🍝❤“

“Amazing flavor! Authentic Italian food! Can’t get this where I’m from!“

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

“at first when we walked in, I felt really under dressed and like everyone was staring at me like I was a bum :( But, our waiter made us feel at home and was super friendly! He made it worth it. And the food...get outta here! So good!!!“

“I love this place, and will continue to visit it when I am in town. A+ customer service, great prices, neighborhood feel, large servings (sharable), tasty selections, and delicious desserts.

This time I ordered something other than my standard large burger. The chicken parma stuffed shells was a massive serving. Seriously! Look at this thing! It is legitimately an 8 inch round serving, which is easily a meal for 3-4 people, especially if you order a salad. My daughter order a chicken parm sub; the total for both was $30, and her sandwich was enough to feed 2. So, to put it into perspective... 😀 Where can you feed 5 people for $30?

I'll be back in a few months, with friends/family!😅😋

Thank you to the staff at Avenue Grille and Pizzeria, you all add to the enjoyment I get while in town.
A+ across the board. 💯“

“The classic NYC slice, now a few blocks from Fenway.

An iconic NYC slice with that signature thin crust, no flop, and just the right amount of sauce. It's the first slice I fell for on my first NYC trip 10 years ago, but after trying other famous places it never felt that special. After moving to Boston though, I came to agree with the local consensus that Joe's does pizza better than almost anyone in the city. A simple slice with the right crust and none of that pan-baked Greek pizza stuff honestly felt like a premium upgrade from the local pizzerias. Different style maybe, but for a thin crust lover it was the perfect alternative.

I've been to the Harvard Square location plenty and this Fenway outpost didn’t differ much in quality. My colleagues and I got a few pies and everything was on point. My favorite was the fresh mozzarella pie. Joe's sauce is a bit sweet, and I actually like that rounded sweetness because it never tastes artificial, and it goes really well with the mozz, which here comes from Vermont instead of New York. Fresh mozz carries way more water than the regular kind, so on a crust this thin they slice it even thinner, and the chewiness of the cheese never got in the way of the texture.

This time I also tried the white pie for the first time, with sausage and artichokes added. The toppings were good, but with ricotta in place of sauce, the pie was a lot drier than a regular tomato. Without the acid and moisture from the tomato, there was nothing to get your mouth watering, and with Joe's crust already on the well-done side, going sauceless was probably our mistake. You taste the toppings more with some nice smokiness from the oven, but it inevitably ended up tasting doughy.“

“Amazing food its an old store very famous and food is amazing big quantity and also their website is amazing i like it“

“We are Italian We ate pizza here: it was much better than in many Italian pizzerias! Tiramisu was excellent Real Italian taste Highly recommended indeed!“

“Classic spot. Customer service is 15/10, everyone working was so good to me. Finding an eleven dollar steak and cheese (added hots no charge) is unheard of these days. Steak was well chopped and crispy with high quality bread, new regular spot. Only thing is that there’s no restroom but the library is just down the way.“
