Here's what Metro says about Pizza in Boston: "There’s a saying that there is no such thing as bad sex or bad pizza, but we know that’s not true. We’re talking to you, high school boyfriend. That was some lousy pizza you made for us. Anyway, here’s a guide to the perfect slice. As for the sex, you’re on your own." Review Metro's pizza overview below and on the Metro site.

Bostone Pizza

225 Newbury Street, Boston, MA
 • (617) 536-9451
Eating the Sicilian pizza here is like eating a pillow covered with sauce, cheese, and, if you wish, weird toppings like potato-bacon-chicken-ranch and buffalo chicken.

Crazy Dough

36 John F Kennedy Street, Cambridge, MA
 • (617) 492-4848
Some pizza places serve sandwiches as well as slices, but Crazy Doughs just puts those sandwiches on their pizza. They have everything from spicy open-faced Rueben sandwich pizza to chicken parm.

Ernesto's Pizza

69 Salem Street, Boston, MA
 • (617) 523-1373
At first glance, this little North End eatery looks like it could be a mob front, but the slices are so good that the only mob presence is the line of customers waiting for lunch. When you order a slice, it’s the size of two!

Little Steve's House of Pizza

1114 Boylston Street, Boston, MA
 • (617) 266-5576
There’s nothing little about Little Stevie’s. Open since 1968, it’s hard to find a bigger slice in this city. The pies they cut them from must be about 8 feet in diameter. The only drawback about Little Stevie’s is that the place is sometimes so filthy that it looks like it’s been closed since 1968.

Pizzeria Regina

Thacher Street

11 1/2 Thacher Street, Boston, MA
 • (617) 227-0765
There are 11 Pizzeria Regina locations in the state, and the quality of the slice is consistent throughout, but there’s only one Pizzeria Regina, as far as your dining out experience should be concerned, and that’s the North End location, which has been there for more than 80 years. The line out the door really does say it all. Yes, it might say, “This is a tiny place,” which it is, but it also says, “This is the type of place that serves delicious soupy floppy slices and has charismatic Italian waitresses.”

Salvatore's

225 Northern Ave., Boston, MA
 • (617) 737-5454
Sal's has been delighting North Shore pie junkies for years, and finally, Boston has one in their greasy palm midst. Tucked in the Seaport District, Sal's, the younger brother takeout nook to Salvatore's full Italian eatery next door, serves up mega “yuge” slices - we're talking 1/4 freakin' pies, folks - that will tide you over before the big show at the Pavilion or a Saturday afternoon at the ICA.

Santarpio's Pizza

113 Chelsea Street, East Boston, MA
 • (617) 567-9871
Not exactly in the epicenter of co-ed culture, this Eastie joint is worth the trip. After you pat yourself on the back for taking a leap of faith (riding the Blue line), you'll be handsomely (and greasily) rewarded. None of “that fancy stuff,” Santarpio's specializes in large, neighborhood-pizzeria pies, and has been doing so since 1933. One size only, large - so don't get picky, bub. No salads, no pastas, no nothing else. Oh, we lied - there is homemade sausage and spit lamb barbecue, too.

T Anthony's Pizzeria

1016 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA
 • (617) 734-7708
The slices at both of these places are only B+ at best, but right after a sweaty rockin’ show at The Paradise or Middle East, respectively, they’re A+ and extra credit. Slurp on your slice and talk about how much the band rocked. T. Anthony’s also has quite a BU sports photo hall of fame from all the former students that ate there while undergrad

Upper Crust

118 Washington St., Salem, MA
 • (978) 741-2787
Upper Crust updates the traditional thin-crust, Neapolitan pie with toppings that make sense. The Lucky Luciano combines chorizo sausage, hearts of palm, tomatoes and green onions on a white pizza. The State House tosses hamburger, pepperoni and italian sausage together in one carnivorous mix. The large cheese is even good and tangy, and only $15. Over the past year, the U.C. has multiplied like wet gremlins.
