Locals line up here before the doors even open, so you’ll be privy to some pretty premium information.
Give your stomach a rest – but not your nose – as you take in the aromas of an old-school Italian grocery store. See where pizzerias nab their fresh, authentic ingredients and delight in some samples too.
The moment of truth – when this Boston pizza tour reaches its final stop, at a pizzeria voted “Best of Boston”, you’re going to need to make a decision. Which pizza reigns supreme? Can’t make up your mind? Talk to the locals – they’ll be sure to have a favourite and will try to sway you towards their side.
