Best Pizza in Boston

There are only a few places where you find people waiting in line outside a building for over half an hour. The best pizza place in Boston is definitely one of them!

Regina Pizzeria is a traditional family business which offers brick oven pizza since 1926. The Polcari family established its first pizzeria in the North End where you can see every day the waiting queue on the pavement. It also offers traditional Italian cuisine.

Nevertheless, the pizza is the best you can find in the whole Boston Area. Every pizza has a delicious self made crust and is covered with lots of fresh vegetables and meat. Old perfected recipes, no preservatives... You really taste the difference.

Regina Pizzeria also has a delivering service and lots of locations in New England. Another location in Downtown Boston where the waiting line is much shorter is Faneuil Hall where also the huge christmas tree lighting ceremony took place a couple of weeks ago.

Be careful if you order the pizza size. Even a small pizza is huge!
