the pizza's great...the decor - not so much – "Great pizza, no doubt. But there's little atmosphere to speak of, and it can be hard to get to if there's airport traffic."

BEST PIZZA IN MASS – I lived in the North End for 10 years and would go to Santarpio's at least once a week. Best sauce and crust. Highly recommend the gralic pizza and the bbq combo (sausage and lamb tips) cooked on their indoor charcoal grill. Great casual old school envirnoment that has stood the test of time.

the food is excellent, waiters not so much – I have been dining out at Santarpio?s for more than 4 years. I cannot complain about the food but the waiters are sometimes impertinent, some of them don?t pay any attention to their clients at all. For instance, today, after spending almost one hour time, there and having interaction with the waiter 6- 7 times during my stay, at the end I handed to the waiter the total amount due + 30% tip and asked him for another glass of water for my wife. We stayed 5 more minutes at the table... read more

Simply the Best! – I have lived in Ohio 7 of the last 10 years and every time I come home Santarpios is a must! Even though my Sister moved to New Hampshire I still fly into Logan so I can stop there on the way out. The only pizza place that has come close to Santarpios is a little cafe in Rome, Italy and there sauce was only half as good. If you want a salad with your pizza, better bring your own becasue you won't find one here. Don't expect anything fancy, just casual and comfortable, nothing pretentious about this place. ... read more

LOVE IT! – I would go to Santarpio's every weekend if I could! The pizza is fantastic, inexpensive and fast! I went on a Sunday night, good time to go, and there was no line. There isn't much ambiance, but who needs it when the pizza is that good!

The Real Best of Boston – This is real Boston. I've lived in Chicago for the past few years, and everytime I come home to Boston.....Santarpio's is a must. This is a Boston insitution...plain and simple. My family has been in Eastie since the 1920's, and this is a family tradition. The simple fare, ambience, and people are the real deal. I've lived in the Back Bay, the South End, Cambridge and have been to all the fancy high end pizza places in those neighborhoods ( Upper Crust)...and these places don't even come close.

Finally – I ate there for the first time tonight, and I was amazed. From me that means a lot. My friends will tell you how easily I could just go on a tangent, and bore you with moisture content, density and acidity etc. I have suffered years of undercooked overcheesed (give me strength, frozen dough?) pies to find this one. If I had never eaten that pie in the villiage with my dad in 1983, this would have been the best I had experienced in my life. By the way that particular restaurant has changed hands but kept its' name, ... read more

Terrific food. Terrific service. – We ate dinner at Santarpio's on a recommendation from a friend, and we are so glad we did! The pizza was great and the service was good as well. The place was very busy on a Friday night, but two can get a table easily, since it's a family dining kind of place. Would recommend it to anyone looking for good pizza.

Home away from Home – I've been going to Santarpios for decades sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. To know them is to love them, the pizza is Incredible, Buts theres nothing better then sitting at the bar talking sports with Lefty eating a double Lamb with extra bread and peppers. Tom was great when his son won the Olympics. ( ask theres some serious History) I now live in Florida and Sartarpios is always my first stop out of Logan. If your reading this Hey Lefty, Joe, Tom, Tony, I'll be there soon gene in FLA.
