Celebrate National Pizza Month

It’s National Pizza Month – celebrate at the neighborhood’s best – Santarpio’s!  In 1903, Santarpio’s was originally opened as a bakery. But then in 1933, owner Frank Santarpio began selling pizza and the rest is history! This local neighborhood pizza parlor became a landmark destination for locals and visitors alike!  Some even consider the pizza from Santarpio’s some of the best in Boston and even the country!  Order up a pizza and celebrate!  Warm up that appetite with some of Santarpio’s BBQ including Italian sausage or steak tips, both served with hot cherry pepper and fresh baked Italian bread. You can see the full menu here!
