DAY 6: PIZZA MONTH 2007 - SANTARPIO'S

LOCATION: Santarpio's (East Boston, MASS)

GUEST(S): Robin Rothman, Nathaniel Rink, Kim Rio

ORDER: 3 slices of homemade sausage, 1 slice of Italian cheese

PIZZA REPORT: Santarpio's combines barbeque with pizza in an absolutely brilliant fashion. Never before have I had the pleasure of eating homemade sausage on pizza. It is delicious. The tomatoes were also very tasty and cooked on a bed of greasy shredded mozzarella cheese. This is all supported by a corn meal crust which is both firm and crunchy. It's sits a bit heavy but it's very filling.

ATMOSPHERE: What a deal! Santarpio's offers great service, a large seating area, and extremely low prices (tons of pizza for about $9-10 each). It's located near Logan airport in East Boston which is probably convenient, however, the streets of Boston confused my GPS and somehow we ended up at the airport twice before we got to Santarpio's. Avoid the rush and beat the lines and, hey, while you are waiting for your pizza, try the delicious kabachi bbq and peppers as an appetizer.

VERDICT: 3.5 out of 5

MISC:
Nat Rink celebrated his birthday party in Boston, which is why we came to Boston. It's also why he came to Boston. See, he doesn't live in Boston anymore but still prefers to celebrate his birthday there.

Santarpios pizza sucks. It is ran by rude asshole guinea wop waiters. I hope the place burns to the ground with all the employees inside.

So much hate. I hope you get help before it's too late. Thanks for the comment.

[IdPorkKevinJonas]

for some reason, i hate the word "slice". it just really pisses me off every time this guy says it.

[spotlightsean]

You get upset rather easily. Oh well, you work on that and I'll work on a new pronunciation of the word "slice." Thanks for the comment.

The chick who is interviewed as the pizza researcher is like some platonic ideal of trashy jewish hotness. If she' not from Long Island I'll eat my hat. Anyway, I would def. marry her. What's her number??!

[spotlightsean]

She is from Philly. I'm glad you like. I like too. Thanks for the comment.

Get the name right kid !

Its cornmeal... not cornbread.. the thought of cornbread pizza crust doesnt sit well :)..  besides... its a very common practice/recipe to dust the crust with cornmeal.. I think its supposed to help sticking?? but not sure..

Either way this place is awesome... Ive been to lombardi's and most of NY best pizza and this place is right up there.. the best in Boston!!

[MrSouthofBoston]

Some suggestions... Drop the A when you say Santarpios......don't eat the pizza with a fork and knife..you have to fold it and hold it. :)

@LarrytheLumberjack Reason's they were rude:

1. You ordered an asshole pizza.

2. You are an irish Donkey.

3. All of the above.

What?! 3.5 stars?! Why?! :(

Santarpios is delicious and I crave it all the time. It's probably the best pizza in Boston, but there's debate between that and Regina's so, if anything, it's one of the absolute best. If you go, definitely get the Lamb with extra peppers!

It's strictly a pizza place so there's no subs or salads or anything else besides Pizza, the two appetizers: lamb and sausage.
