I cannot say I'm a huge pizza fan in general, but to me, Regina doesn't count. It's a category of its own. The vibe you'll get here is a true, classic Boston pizzeria. In line (which yes, you'll probably have to wait in) you'll be teased by the aromas of the oven. But that first bite makes it worth it! If you're a local or just visiting I will stand on all ten toes and say Regina is your best pizza in Boston and definitely worth the visit.

I decided to go with the Wicked Pesto Pizza. It came with the signature crust, pesto base, grilled chicken, blue cheese, asiago, and fresh garlic. The driver dropped it off in front of the building and I picked it up. After first trying it, I was not impressed. It was very hard and dry. I had to reheat it in the microwave for it to be edible. I was expecting a delicious pizza packed with flavor. Instead I got something that I had to force myself to eat. I know Boston is not known for their pizza but I was expecting something halfway decent. If it was not for the Uber Eats discount I would have been upset with spending the cash. Next time I will try to check out some other spots for a slice of pizza.

You can get your order packed for takeout, or choose to dine in at the seating area near the windows. I got my order to-go and got two slices: * The "Green Monster" slice had juicy sliced tomato with pesto sauce. It wasn't a brand-new unique flavor combination, but felt like classic pizza flavors done well. * The "Aloha" slice was a Hawaiian-style pizza, but with a generous amount of Prosciutto instead of ham. The ingredient swap was a delicious and innovative flavor combination, and it was my favorite of the two. At $5 for a reasonable but not larger-than-normal-sized slice, it wasn't the best value but also not the biggest rip-off for food right on Newbury street. I would come again if craving pizza while in the area!

Even though I was born and raised in the Boston area and have resided here for the entirety of my three decade long life, I've never had the original Santarpio's pizza until just now. I remember eating at their second location on Route 1 not long after it opened, but I thought it was just okay. Ever since then I've always thought to myself, "the original has gotta be better, right?" Well, my boyfriend and I finally made our way to the original Santarpio's on a Saturday a little after noon. The place isn't much to look at but was hopping for the weekend lunch rush with almost every table full, and we got put in what appeared to be one of the last available tables in the place. Our order was taken very quickly after sitting down. The menu is strictly pizza with around a dozen toppings to choose from and a handful of grilled meats. That's it. We ordered a pizza with garlic and hot peppers as well as a steak tip skewer. The steak tips were juicy and cooked nicely, but they tasted like they lacked seasoning or marinade so I had to sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. Of course, the pizza is what we were really there for and I can tell you that it checks all the boxes for a classic pizza. The crust is on the thinner, crispier side which I actually prefer. The pie as a whole had a great color and good flavor between the cheese, sauce and toppings. After experiencing it for myself, it's pretty easy to understand why Santarpio's is so highly regarded in the world of pizza. They stick to what they know and they execute it well.

This is such a beautiful, romantic…read morespeakeasy-style restaurant with an intimate, moody atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. I came with a group of four, which I highly recommend because the menu is designed for sharing. We ordered several dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. The crab beignets were probably my least favorite and something I'd skip next time, but the seared halloumi was delicious, the Lazy Lobster Dumplings were a MUST, and the Mediterranean Chicken was so flavorful and satisfying. And then there's the Prime Rib Chop, absolutely cannot come here without ordering it. It was easily top 5 best steak I've ever had! For dessert we tried the creme brûlée , the cheesecake and the carrot cake- honestly they were all unique and great. Yvonne's is definitely pricey, but I think it's worth it for the food, ambiance, and overall experience. Come with a group, share a bunch of plates, order the Prime Rib Chop and lobster dumplings, and enjoy the night. This is the kind of place that feels perfect for a special occasion or a romantic night out.

Due to traffic we…read moregot to the city later than planned, and had to hurry to the restaurant in order to make it in time. Luckily, they have a grace period of 15 minutes so it was not a problem that we were about 10 minutes late. The restaurant was loud and busy. I didn't mind the volume but some people surely would. It's dark inside, so the kind of place that some people would need to put on their readers and use their phone's flashlight to read the menu. Over the course of the night, each of us got 2 drinks. Altogether, the drinks we chose were the Icarus, the passionfruit mule, and we each got an espresso martini. No complaints, all were delicious. We were a bit overwhelmed by the options but luckily our server was very informative. Told us what he recommends and what's popular. We went with the crispy tater cubes, the lazy lobster dumplings, the bavette steak mirabeau, and the brussels sprouts. My ranking of how much I liked them would be the steak, the dumplings, the tater cubes, and then the brussels sprouts. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the brussels sprouts, but the steak and dumplings were especially good. Beware, the servings are quite small. So if you have a large party, prepare to order quite a bit. The prices aren't terribly unreasonable for most of the dishes, but it adds up fast. We still had some room for dessert, and my wife very much wanted to try the baked alaska. She didn't even know what it was, but her interest was piqued by photos online as well as seeing other tables order it. We ordered the half baked alaska, and were both very satisfied with it. All in all, we were happy with Yvonne's. When you come in, realize that you're probably gonna be spending quite a bit of cash. But we were satisfied.

I don't normally take the time to review places but this couldn't be ignored. I've been going to McGoo's for the last decade. They had great pizza, amazing steak and cheeses, and a wonderful staff that served it. Today was the first time in over a year that I ordered from them, they've been sold since my last visit. I ordered online. I ordered the Veggie Special Pizza which consisted of "broccoli, spinach, onion, peppers, olive, mushrooms, and tomato " according to the online menu. I asked for no mushroom and olive, set my picktime and drove to get it. When I got home, I opened up a pizza void of toppings. It had peppers, tomato chunks, and onions on half of it. I called McGoo's instantly to ask where my spinach and broccoli was, when I spoke to the evening manager he was very disrespectful, seemed annoyed with my phone call and talked over my sentences. I have never before been treated with such disrespect in any interaction with a manager. He repeatedly told me that the website was outdated and that was his response to the issue. I checked back online, an hour later, and they had corrected the menu online but this time the list includes artichokes. I will not be coming back here. read more

Pizzeria 260 - South Boston…read more Pizzeria 260 leans into what a neighborhood pizzeria should be, simple, consistent, and focused on turning out good pizza without overcomplicating it. You walk in and immediately get the tone: clean space, open kitchen, and a crew that's friendly and dialed in. Service felt natural, not transactional. We kept it honest, cheese and the North End (sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, ham). The cheese pizza is a good baseline test, and it delivers. The sauce is a straightforward red, lightly seasoned, not trying to steal the spotlight. The cheese is smooth, creamy, and melts evenly across the pie. The North End is the better order. The meats bring the seasoning and depth that round out the bite. The sausage and meatballs stand out and carry the flavor, giving the slice a more complete profile. The crust has solid structure with a nice chew. If I'm being critical, it could use a touch more salt, but that's a refinement note, not a flaw. I've had a lot of pizza in a lot of places, this isn't a "drop everything and go" destination. But that's not the lane Pizzeria 260 is in. This is dependable, well-executed pizza in a spot you'd gladly return to. Bottom line: Good pizza, good people, no nonsense. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth your time.

Had an order that was very late on delivery, but Tanthony's never called us to tell us it would be late, could have also texted or emailed, when we inquired we were told it would be there soon. 20-30 min later It wasnt so called again. was told their was traffic, I could have walked there and back twice. I was hosting a friendover. When it was delivered the food was cold, so they made it an hour or so before and let it sit. So we are now re-thinking this place, as we wanted to support this local area but they are not supporting us back or at least having common decency to let us know the food will be late.
