Galleria Umberto

Boston


Paper plates, cans of soda, Sicilian pizza. This lunchtime legend (and 2018 James Beard Award winner!) closes as soon as the slices are gone. And considering their thick and chewy goodness, that’s often before the official 3pm closing time. Loyal patrons line up early so they're sure to get theirs. Other snacking options include calzone, panini and arancini. Cash only.
