50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Boston

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“Best pizza I’ve had in Boston! The owner and staff were lovely, attentive, and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. They gently recommended we put hot honey and parmesan on our pizza and omg that made it even more mouthwatering. Will definitely be back!“

“Had a great dinner here and honestly don’t have anything to complain about. The food came out fresh and tasted excellent, the portions were good, and the service was friendly the whole time. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal and we left very happy.“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

“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!“

“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)!“

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

“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!“

“Went to downtown Boston for the afternoon and came here to grab lunch, ordered half meat and half veggie pizza. Pizza is made fresh, and is made in 10 minutes. Portions were heaping large, a large pizza fed 4 people well. Singular slices are MASSIVE, easily feeding a person. Pizza was delicious, the meat pizza is very savory and greasy, and the vegetable pizza is simply exquisite. The bell peppers and onions on the pizza are crunchy and flavorful. The drink selection is very wide and the chefs are very nice and friendly.“

“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.“

“Went there today for lunch, Will the bartender and Nick the grill master were amazing! Took Will's recommendation for the pizza, pepperoni, garlic and hot peppers very tasty. Nick gave us a slice of the home bread was great.

Nice no TVs or lottery....very old school.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

“our favorite spot in Roslindale“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolute perfection today! Tori was attentive, offered great suggestions, and made a hectic pre-concert rush feel like just another walk in the (ball)park. Food was delicious and fresh, drinks were creative and the perfect compliment to a great summer day! Love the vibes of this restaurant, from the open air patio, country tunes playing, and the hometown pride.“

“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.“

“Really good. They were really nice too. The pizza is a little pricey that would be my only complaint. I think they can get away with lowering the price $1 each and still do well but they would get more business. We had the pepperoni, the spicy soppressata and the margarita. All were excellent. A rewards program would be good here too since it’s a grab and go. I would come back“

“Got the Brooklyn pizza...was excellent! The meats and the ricotta cheese were perfect and the cook was crispy and delicious. Great online ordering, big coupons on first order. 100% my new go to spot I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.“

“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.“

“Best restaurant in all of Boston“

“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 💜“

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

“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!!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I was visiting from out of town for work and one of my favorite foods is chicken, wings, and pizza. I looked on Google for woodfired pizza restaurant close to my aloft hotel. The pictures of this place looks great based on the atmosphere and the pizzas looked amazing, but I know how pictures can deceive. There was no deception here. The pizza was fantastic, toppings sauce, and cheese all the way to the end of the crust and I got to tell you the chicken wings were phenomenal. I got the sweet Thai chili, which did not disappoint. They should bottle that stuff. I’d buy it. If you’re in town or even just local, you need to check this place out.“

“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!“

“My family’s favorite pizza! The people there are also always friendly and helpful. My 17 year old said the chicken bacon ranch pizza is the best they have ever had. I love the cheese so much - I know I should also branch out but it really is so good. Also, the salad and their ranch dressing is so good, fresh, and I loved that it had lots of carrot and cucumber slices, and green pepper. Yum!“

“Treat yourself…come experience Serafina’s“

“The cashier was very nice and accommodating. She offered me an extra dipping sauce for free when I informed her that she forgot to provide me with what I ordered.

This isn't totally the cooks fought but he added salt to my fries. I don't eat salt on any of my food, so when I got my fries and tasted the salt it shocked my system 😆🤣😂 For those of you that like salt dude in the back has a HEAVY hand!!! I suffered ij the silence because it was my fault for not telling him beforehand, but those of you that love salt, be cutesy, be mindful.

Lol“

“Awesome subs and doughnuts“

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

“As an Italian, I’m so happy I found this place, the food was amazing and 100% authentic, the coffee is as good as the one I drink in Italy - if not better!

The pistachio cornetto was also delicious, I was actually surprised they have authentic pistachio cream since I haven’t found it anywhere outside of Italy.

Also shout out to the amazing, helpful and very friendly staff!! They speak multiple languages, which is a big plus :)

Hence, I highly recommend this place!“
