First of all, let me say that the best pizza I’ve ever eaten was in Boston. Call me blasphemous if you must, but I would even go so far as to say it’s better than NY pizza. We got pizza from two different places, Pizza Regina in the North End, and New York Pizza (NYP) on Massachusetts Avenue.

Regina Pizzeria
During the Feast of St. Anthony, I stopped at the Pizza Regina booth and grabbed a slice of cheese pizza with spinach and cherry tomatoes. Naomi and Karen each got a slice of pepperoni. As much as I liked my specialty pizza, the pepperoni pizza was amazing. Thin crust, cheesy, gooey, pepperoni-y, and perfectly seasoned. If that had been the only Italian food I got in Boston, I would have been really happy.
Look! I’m getting better! I only ate HALF of it before I remembered to take a picture!

New York Pizza (NYP)
Ok, so granted we didn’t eat here except for after we’d had a couple beers. But, although many of the details of the night were fuzzy and escaped my memory in the morning, the taste of that pizza did not. The pepperoni was hands down the best I’ve ever eaten. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We also tried the Spinach, Feta, and Mozzarella house pizza, which was outstanding. It’s a good thing we didn’t stay in boston any longer than we did, or I would’ve gained 15 pounds on Pizza alone from NYP. Plus they were the size of my head. Here’s a photo from Yelp, because I didn’t take pictures.
Congratulations to you, random lady, for earning the honor of appearing on the Queen of the Food Age blog.

I love, love, LOVE Pizzeria Regina. Definitely my favorite pizza in Boston. That being said, if you’re ever in Connecticut, stop by one of Frank Pepe’s locations — the pizza is blow-your-mind incredible!
