An authentic Italian-owned restaurant in Beantown! The Italian cheese , sausage & mushroom pizza it's an absolute delight! Drink a cold Labatt Blue!

Established in 1903, Santarpio's is probably East Boston's most famous restaurant . With delicious traditional pizza and a friendly , family-feeling atmosphere, you really can't go wrong. Read more

Any pizza is fabulous - as are all the skewers (steak tips , lamb , sausage ) served with crusty bread & vinegar peppers !

Jess Restrepo

Please try the single homemade sausage-- mildly spicy , but amazing! The Italian Cheese , Chicken , Broccoli , & Garlic pizza with red sauce was delicious; The flavors were on point!

The best pizza anywhere! No substitutions, definitely try the lamb BBQ . Do not leave Boston without trying this place.

Santarpio's in Eastie is the place to go to shut up your obnoxious New York friends when they claim there's no good pizza in Boston . [Eater 38 Member]

Yummy pizza ! I’ve had a classic cheese (so good) and the cheese , garlic , pepperoni and pepper one! It was hot but good!

best pizza around. Gotta get the lamb n sausage combo plate too. They'll do takeout , no delivery . Staff is great, they'll bust your balls. I've been going there longer than i can remember. Gotta stop

Gillian Selig

The lamb and steak plates were amazing. Just get a regular cheese pizza with no toppings its good on its own.

Cecilio César Tamarit Camarero

A very authentic place. Good pizza . Don't forget to taste those (warning, spicy !) sausages .

Cash only . Pizza , lamb skewers & amazing sausage . House wine & beer . Bar seating & booths with a few tables in back. Awesome service. Locals favorite.

Alessandro Capobianco

Ask for hot pepper juice and pour a little over your sausage and lamb bbq combo as you feast! ????????

Jason Cooper

Make sure your beer is domestic and ask for a glass cause the beer is Ice cold and its - literally - the same glass you drank "bug juice " from at summer camp . Cant explain. Best beer ever.

Brian Hollis

Some of the best pizza I ever had. If you like garlic , make sure to order it on your pizza .

Righteous meat BBQ on CHARCOAL indoors! Served w cherry peppers . I say goddam!

This place went downhill. The food used to be the best around. The pizza is made of tomato sauce and grated cheese and loaded with oil. However their lamp tips are great

Daniel Krueger

Everything is top shelf . The staff are old school greatness.

Order a couple of cheese pies , and some budweisers , go across the street to echo for a cocktail , and then pick up a case of beer on your way to the byob candle pin bowling alley : Central Park Lanes.

This app says you can use credit card, but not true. Cash only with ATM available so walking back to hotel to get cash instead of cash advance from credit card.

Cash only ! Great steak tips and pizza !

Debbie S.

The history of this restaurant is exactly that HISTORY. Pizza so soggy it could be picked up and dough was inedible. BBQ sausage was sooooo dry.

Jon Keough

Pizza is overrated but good. Fun wait staff , feels like 1975 but that's the charm.

DawnLH

Just introduced to the Garlic and Hots with Extra Cheese . Rolling Rocks to sip on makes it all a pretty good experience.
