Galleria Umberto

Housed in what can only be described as a cross between a cafeteria and a dining hall, Galleria Umberto is a lunch-only, bare-bones, humble little storefront that serves some of the best pizza not just in the Greater Boston area but perhaps all of New England.

The lines at Galleria Umberto are often long, as businesspeople, locals, and the handful of tourists who have read up on the North End wait their turn for thick, square pieces of Sicilian pizza. People sit on hard chairs at the basic tables scattered about the place and eat slice after slice of pizza under the dim lights. If the atmosphere at Galleria Umberto sounds like a bit of a turn-off, the incredibly delicious squares of pizza, which by the way, are just under two bucks a slice. Aside from pizza, Galleria Umberto offer arancini, panzarotti, pizzette, calzones, beers and soda. Their portions are generous, the quality consistent.
