    The BEST pizza I've ever had. I The staff is welcoming from the movement you walk in the door- greeting you, chatting with you, quick service, make you feel like family. The environment is unmatched- old feel Boston.

    Onion and mushroom pizza cooked to perfection.
    Rita P.

    We had drs appointments in Boston and decided to have a late lunch. We love it here but it's a hike from where we live so we don't get here very often. It was wonderful. Got one large sausage with hot cherry peppers and wonderful Italian coarse textured bread and an onion mushroom pizza of which we brought half home. Our only complaint is I asked for the pizza crispy and they did not do it. It still was yummy but would have been better! Always would go anytime we are even close!

    We ordered grilled beef and grilled lamb. We liked both of them. It was seasoned nicely. Portion was okay. It also came with bread. I wished there was butter for the bread. Service was good. If there's a next time, we will try the pizza.

    Cheese Pizza

    My boyfriend has been coming to Santarpio's since he was a kid, so it's a special place and I was excited to get to share that nostalgia with him. We ordered his favorites. First, a single sausage skewer served with hot cherry peppers and fresh baked Italian bread. Then we split a cheese pizza. The sausages were juicy and huge, plus the bread was delicious. I enjoyed the peppers but they were spicy so I didn't eat all of them. Now the pizza, its great! The cheese, sauce, crust--all super fresh. If a place makes cheese pizza well, it's a good indicator of how well the rest will be. Let's just say they passed the test. It's not a huge pie but if you order the sausage or another appetizer, you'll be fine. We did have to wait for a table but we didn't wait too long. This place gets packed so be prepared to wait! Santarpios is also full of charm. It has an old school vibe and feels cozy. I was glad to share this experience with my boyfriend in one of his childhood spots!

    Ok I'm not going to add anything here that hasn't been said so I'll share a funny share from my most recent trip this weekend to the Tarpp ..( as far as a review positively everything was marvelous, scrumptious and our service was perfect !!! ) We ordered our roni with skewers and while we are downing our drinks a young woman was sat nearby us - she arrived aline with a suitcase fresh off a plane at Logan and like anyone traveling - probably starving. I remember thinking - she's in for a treat if she doesn't already know about this legendary locale. When our serve returns to her she asked soooo politely "is there another menu?" And in the nicest way I the server was like " oh honey it's all pizza and some kabobs ! " She fiddled for a moment before ordering a single chicken skewer and a glass of water . I hope she's doing ok !

    Beer. Best beer glass around.

    One of the all time greats. Stopped in to pick up two pizzas on my way home from the airport. Bat was full so I grabbed a booth. Order two pizzas to go, sausage and a beer, ended up being to beers, to have while I waited. Pizzas were ready after I finished my second drink. Love the place.

    Build your own pizza, double pepperoni with extra sauce.
    Jason H.

    Great little neighborhood place. Everyone was nice and welcoming. Service was great. We ordered a skewer with beef tips and a create your own pizza. The beef tips were cooked right, medium, and seasoned well. They were better than I'd thought they'd be at a pizza place. The pizza we ordered was a double pepperoni with extra sauce. It came out great. Crust was perfect, and the pepperoni was crispy around the edges, which is how we like it. The sauce is on the sweet side, which balances well against the salty pepperoni. Next time we get up that way, we'll eat there again.

    This place has been in business since 1903. Nothing stays open that long without being top-notched. The pizza was fantastic. One of the best I've had in Boston. Loved the steak tips too. The lamb was good but not my favorite. The place can get crowd quick so time your arrival a little early to beat the crowds. Service was fast and friendly.

    Italian cheese pizza topped with pepperoni, garlic, hot peppers, add sausage pie.
    Robert E.

    The vibe in East Boston is fantastic, and the service is excellent! I highly recommend trying the single lamb skewers with sausage--they were amazing! As for the Italian cheese pizza topped with pepperoni, garlic, hot peppers, add sausage, I'd rate it a 7/10. It's good, but the crust is a bit floppy, which causes the toppings to slide right off.

    Pepperoni and Black Olive pizza well done. Delicious.
    Ray M.

    It had been 20 years since I ate at the Boston location on Chelsea street, Nothing has changed, especially to pizza. 100% delicious, cook perfectly and it won't be another 20 years before I go back. When you go to Boston and are looking for true Boston pizza, this is the place.

    Ask the Community - Santarpio's Pizza

    Do they accept credit cards?

    They didn't years ago but DO now.

    Where do customers park? Tried going but everything was permit parking and zero paid parking

    Right before Santarpios there is a little side street. Take that and immediately on your left there are plenty of parking under the overpass.

    Do you serve salad now? Reviews suggest not but I see it's on the menu

    Not at the East Boston Location only at the Peabody one

    Do they deliver?

    Yes. Via Doordash

    Do they offer non-dairy, plant-based cheese for their pizza? Thank you!

    No we do not.

    I remember the pie being bigger then am I wrong? Mind you I haven't been there in a couple of years before this time a couple of days ago.

    Jose The size of the pizza has not changed.

    Do they no longer offer a large pie? Because the works without anchovies I got the other day was obviously medium I ask because there were no options offered on the online ordering platform.

    Santarpio's only has one size pizza.

    Has anyone been able to get a hold of Santarpio's this month? It says open but nobody ever picks up?

    Hello Rob, Santarpio's Pizza opened on Monday May 4 for curbside pick-up and DoorDash delivery. We are open daily from 11:30-8.

    It's been 5 years since having to go GF, so 5 years since Santarpio's pizza! Patiently waiting for Santarpio's to make gluten free pizza!!! Please let me know when?

    I wouldnt hold my breath for GF pizza crust. Santarpios is more of a it is what it is, its been this way for years why change it model.

    The menu mentions "Italian cheese" is on their pizzas. What, specifically, do they mean by "Italian cheese"?

    Mozzarella I would assume. As well as Asiago and possibly fontina and marscapone

Salty Pig Pizza: A pizza with the same name as the restaurant! Who was the genius who came up with the idea of ​​salted pig and beer caramel? It's brilliant! The salted pork appears to include Prosciutto di Parma from Langirano, Prosciutto Cotto, and Salcissia. Baking rendered the prosciutto's fat, which blends with the caramel to create a beautiful golden syrup that flows across the pizza's surface. The prosciutto was savory, oily, and tender; the minced salcissia retains its coarse texture and rich meaty aroma; the caramel was sweet and mellow with a honey-like sweetness, forming the top, middle, and base notes respectively. The arugula was slightly warmed, losing its astringent and raw taste while maintaining its crisp texture, helped to cut through the richness together with the Parmesan cheese powder. The crust was crispy, while the inside the dough was soft and chewy. The cooking time and seasoning were all just right, and the restaurant's proud wooden oven added a charming smoky flavor. Affogato: I had high expectations, but it was just okay. The espresso was too sour, and the vanilla ice cream couldn't balance it out.
