Santarpio’s Pizza

East Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States, is home to the restaurant Santarpio's Pizza. As a bakery, it was first founded in 1903. Three decades later, Frank Santarpio started selling pizza there. The restaurant, a landmark for residents and a popular destination for tourists, is well known for its Boston-style pizza, which it has been serving at its Chelsea Street location since 1933. According to a Boston Globe reporter, the only thing that most New Englanders know about East Boston is the Santarpio's Pizza sign that they can see from the highway as they travel to the airport.

One of the first pizzerias to start in East Boston and the neighboring areas to serve Italian Americans who had immigrated there is still owned and run by the Santarpio family. Santarpio's menu solely features the following four items: grilled lamb, steak tips, chicken, and sausage.

When the production team asked that the 75 pies be ready in an hour, the restaurant refused to fulfill an order from the movie My Best Friend's Girl. For thirty years, Glenn Carlton has baked bread and made the pizza dough at Santarpio's. Lennie Timpone, who was born in 1945 and whose mother was a Santarpio, has spent his entire career working at the Chelsea Street store. Santarpio’s Pizza is one of the oldest restaurants in Boston,
