Some people will tell you Santarpios (East Boston) is the best pizza in Boston. People in my own extended family tell me that. Those people are all wrong. But... it is very good pizza. Don't get me wrong. If I am going into Logan or leaving Logan, one of my first thoughts is how to work in a Santarpios stop. This pizza is always a treat and I have never, ever not enjoyed a meal here. But for my money it gets a little heavy on the sauce and a little too much burn. Some people probably love that. Maybe they like the extra char and want a higher sauce level. For me it throws off the pie's balance and brings it down from that "Best of Boston" to the "very good pizza" level, though. Still... if you get a chance to visit... don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a Santarpios pie. Try the lamb too!
