Santarpio's

Boston


Boston Bruins posters and neon beer signs constitute the decor here. A gruff waitress might offer a menu, but there is really no point. You come here for the thin-crust pizza – unique for its extra crispy, crunchy texture. This well-done crust is topped with slightly sweet sauce, plenty of pepperoni and not too much cheese.

Divey decor, rough service and delectable pizza. It’s all part of the chaaaahm.
