Boston lends its name to baked beans and custard-filled pie, but when it comes to pizza, New York hogs the glory. But how often do you eat baked beans and Boston cream pie? And how often do you eat pizza? Boston loves a good pie as much as New York does, and there are plenty of excellent examples in the area, from the famous (Regina, Santarpio’s) to the neighborhood favorites (Armando’s, Tony’s Place), the no-frills (Galleria Umberto) to the upscale (Scampo). We went on an extended pizza crawl to pinpoint some of the best. The following establishments are worth their sauce; those with an asterisk deserve particular notice. Long live Boston pizza.
