50 Best Pizza Restaurants near East Boston

“Went for some pizza. Order at the counter got three slices to split with hubby. Proper pepperoni-pepperoni pizza with burrata and hot honey (my favorite one) Cheese and Milanese- cheese pizza with chicken cutlet and red peppers. We also wanted to try the arancini- made with prosciutto instead of ground beef. You can take it to go but we decided to stay and eat. Beautifully decorated. The owner Stefano was so nice and checked on us to see if we needed anything. As we were leaving we stopped at the gelato counter and got a gelato to go. I had the oreo. Soooo good! We will be back!“

“Milano’s catered our work function and was so easy to work with. The food was incredible and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs.“

“The guys were kind and friendly! Food was hot, fresh, and delicious!“

“The food here was actually pretty delicious and came out quickly, which is great when traveling through the airport. The drinks, however, were extremely pricey for what you get. Service was timely, but not very attentive — we asked for waters and never received them.

Overall, if you’re in a rush and want a solid meal before your flight, I’d recommend it. But if you have extra time at the airport, there are probably better dining options available.“

“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.“

“Just ordered some yummy chicken bowl AMAZING! Hands down the best food I’ve had in a while!“

“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“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

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

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

“Last night I had the pleasure of visiting Volo Craft Pizza in Swampscott, MA — and wow, what an experience! 🌊🍕 The ambiance right by the water is beautiful, with Boston’s skyline in the distance, and the service made us feel right at home. Owners Pina and Tony are so warm and personable — it truly feels like family when you’re there. Now, the food… absolutely incredible. Having grown up with New York City parents (and with my own background working in a pizza restaurant), I know good pizza when I taste it — and this was next-level. Their Detroit-style Double Trouble pizza with hot honey was out of this world. 🍯🔥 The Caesar salad with fresh-grated cheese was crisp and flavorful, and don’t even get me started on the cannolis with chocolate chips and lemon — pure heaven. 🍋🍫 I’d happily drive 35 minutes any day for this. The pizzas are clearly made with love, and I can’t wait to bring my parents back to try it. If you’re anywhere near the North Shore (or even if you’re not) — do yourself a favor and try Volo. Highly recommend! 🙌 #VoloCraftPizza #SwampscottMA #NorthShoreEats #PizzaLovers #DetroitStylePizza #BostonEats #FoodieFavorites“

“Best food in town. Highly recommend ❤️“

“Small place, but incredible pizza.
We were looking for a quick bite and
were blown away by how good it actually was.
High-level ingredients and perfectly cooked.
More for pick up or delivery
but definitely will recommend this pizzeria.“

“Pizza is really good and both appetizers we shared were delicious, enough for 6 people.

Why I wasnt a big fan of this place:
1. My white wine wasnt very chilled and my friend’s paloma cocktail wasnt a hit.
2. And before it has been 1.5 hours even they just brought the check to the table which is kind of a mood killer for me.
3. When I asked to get black pepper for the pizzas, one waiter said we dont have it…. then a few minutes later it was brought in a little dish - how do you not have peppper in a pizza restaurant?“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

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

“YUM - AAAYY - ZING!!

Words are insufficient to describe my excitement for Mario’s!!!

I’ll start with THIN CRUST - Classic Neapolitan pizza, ITALIAN style. Then FRESH FRESH FRESH ingredients make all the difference. I look forward to it, whenever I can make it, usually for lunch on Friday, the only week day they’re open at 12:00 noon. Awesome vibe that’s 100% local local local. Small place, mostly take out, but you can seat 3-4 people at the window counter, which I love. Old school marble counter, with comfy padded bar stools. You have to know it’s here as the location is a tad off the beaten path of prime visibility. Which ‘proves’ one of my philosophies ‘ great location, often mehh food, not so great location - the food must be amazing. So many amazing points …. One of which is the ACTUAL MARIO! Punctuating the super local CHEF OWNED cafe. He’s here all the time, super nice guy, a joy to chat with … and he truly loves making incredible pizza!!“

“Best place,great food.Highly recommend 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Every time I’ve gotten Johnny pockets I get service with a smile and delicious food! I’ve tried multiple different sandwiches and I’ve never been disappointed.“

“Family had dinner at Stoked in Cohasset last weekend….what a great meal! Pizzas were SO delicious, as were the Greek and Caesar salads. House wines were really good. Children loved their meals too. Our server was terrific, fun and attentive. An overall perfect experience…casual and delicious!! It was a little quiet when we went, but it was early. Can’t imagine this local gem will be quiet very often! We’ll all be back ! Nana from Hingham“

“My fiancé and I have been ordering here for over a year. It is the best pizza in quincy and the surrounding area. (and we’ve tried quite a few pizza spots) Fresh and authentic tasting and the staff are good people. Plus they’re open until 11! I’d recommend 10/10“

“The Chef’s were really well receiving, and they made haste freshly of our order. Great quality customer service, very nice and welcoming atmosphere.

The food was excellent, and it was all fresh, only took 10 minutes.

The menu was very extensive, and all the options looked really good, we just got a ZaZa pizza (garlic, olive oil and basil) and a meat lovers pizza. The food was timely and very good.“

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

“5/29/26
Lunch
Our group of 6 was treated to an amazing lunch at Prince's today.
Thank you Mr Castraberti and Staff! You all made our day!!
We had the Mushroom and Sauceech Pizza, Veal Parm, Eggplant Parm, Fried Chicken Sandwich... I did the Side of Angel Hair with 1 Sauceech and 1 Meatball. The sauce is Amazing!! Fresh, Homemade, San Maranzano Tomatoes make it sweet. Just like I've had in Italy.
5 Stars!“

“the food was fresh outstanding! You must try it“

“Everytime we are in the area, Pino's is our go to. Even if we go out to another restaurant, we get a Pino's Pizza to take home. The best pizza around.“

“Who wants a slice? The varieties are almost endless. My favorite is the Sicilian, but just ask and the staff will make whatever you like. Simple, honest, and direct. Sit in and enjoy your pie or get it to go, either way you can't lose. When you're near Harvard, come here.“

“June 2026
Absolutely outstanding brick oven pizza! We ordered five different pizzas and a charcuterie board for a group of eight, and we destroyed every last slice. Crisp, delicious, and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend this place.“

“Small hole in the wall but Fire pizza!“

“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!“

“The best pizza in Boston!“

“This restaurant is what the definition of a hidden gem is. The food is fresh, delicious, exactly what you look for in a great slice of pizza. They have many options, including burgers and subs, which all are made fresh to order as well. The prices are also reasonable, but what makes it stand out more are the specials they have which make the meals 10x more affordable for a solid
meal. It’s truly wonderful to see a place that actually cares about the people for once. But then the service stands out most to me, the people are the kindest, always accommodating, never rushing me to finish my meal, and making sure I feel welcomed and acknowledged at all times. They treat everyone as a community, which I think should happen more often. Everyone is welcome there and they make sure of it. I definitely recommend coming here, you will fall in love with it!“

“Independently-owned neighborhood joint. Incredibly warm, welcoming, friendly owner. I love that it’s right across the street from the library. Can’t beat $3 for a flavorful cheese slice, delectable crust! Eggplant parm’s great too. Always hits the spot! 😊“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“There good is amazing & I can’t get over their chicken wingsss 💕💕💕“

“The best pizza and sandwich’s around delicious 😋 best customer service when you have an issue with door dash thank so much harry for lunch 🥰“

“Beautiful, crispy Mexican pizza just the way I like it! 😋 So delicious, and the customer service was amazing. I had the pleasure of talking with the owner and loved hearing the story behind their family business. I will definitely come back. 1000/10!“

“First time in Nee England and my buddy joined a bowling league. So I told him lets go and I’ll just chill at the bar. This place is awesome! Great flatbread, great beer and great service! If I’m ever up this way again I’m for sure making a stop here.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding. The service was equally impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.
The restaurant also offered great value for the quality of food and service provided. Whether you're visiting for a casual meal, a family gathering, or a special occasion, I would highly recommend this place. I look forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.“

“Food and service are excellent!“

“My wife and I love getting the Nicks special pizza, that pie is ALWAYS superb but “Double AA” Is my guy! Love that dude. Love his leadership. We’ll definitely be back!“

“My 1st experience was great/ friendly and delicious! I’ll be back.“

“First time going there and the toasted ravioli, pizza and Nomna’s meatballs were very good. Highly recommend 🍕“

“My friends' and my go-to place for group dinners. Their pizza is OUTSTANDING. Group favorites are the Little Italy and Motor City Roni. Every new person we introduce DPC to immediately takes to it. Yes, this is Detroit-style pizza outside of Detroit, but WOW is it delicious!!!! 10/10 would highly recommend.“

“Stopped by here during a work trip and can 100% say I will be back! thank you guys for the amazing food and service!!“

“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!“

“The food is great! Definitely try the corn pizza. However don't bother calling ahead or asking for the wait time. We called ahead and still had to wait 60 minutes. It isn't really their fault, a table that was finished with their food sat and chatted for 50 minutes.“

“I went to the pizzeria after a long day in Malden. Right as you walked in the door you could tell they had good quality food. There were about five tables for people to sit at. Each one has at least four seats. The table and seats were clean and there was no food or leftover crumbs on the table. The staff were nice and the food got to us in less than ten minutes. I got the ziti meatballs, and they were really good. I also got a small plate of fries to go with it. The food was delicious and I definitely recommend going there if you are floating around Malden.“

“Passion and love is what I got when I came to this Dedham location. Nothing but A+ service from beginning to end. Nadege was so inviting, pleasant and patient when my family and I were trying to figure out what we wanted to order. To add the cheery on top of course after washing her hands and changing her gloves she put the most L-O-V-E in our subs, OMG🙌🏾 the best I’ve EVER tasted in a long time!
Now the pizza that Joanne made was superb!! All in all this experience here was today was great joy, haven’t been here in awhile but will be returning soon💙“

“Well, I brought an out of town visitor from here because I recall it being the best pizza around... but I haven't been here in 15 years.

It's not the A+ pizza dough and crust that I remember it being. Bummer ! It's now more airy and more cracker like, not bready and bubbly as it was. And the bread served with grilled lamb was also just OK. Odd. Lamb with peppers was great tho!“
