What People Are Saying About Pizzeria Regina

The Scene
Pie enthusiasts flock to this atmospheric little eatery, on the point of one of the North End's narrow triangular blocks. Service runs to the slow and impersonal, but that never stops the hordes--area residents, pizza fanatics from the suburbs and in-the-know tourists--from lining up for the addictive specialties, or waiting for takeout in the cozy, cramped bar. Don't skip the wait just because you can get a slice by the same name in Quincy Market; that takeaway outpost's pizza disappoints in comparison to the goods offered at this location.
The Food
Go for the obvious: Thin-crust cheese pizza oozing with mozzarella and tangy tomato sauce, all surrounded by a pillowy crust, is a sure winner. Regina's famous gas-fired brick ovens also churn out consistently satisfying specialty pies, including savory spinach-pesto and white clam varieties. Those hoping for a sweet finish are out of luck, as no dessert is served.

Doesnt live up to the hype whatsoever!!!!!!!!! The host (who is normally an older guy) is beyond rude. I get the whole "this is the north end, and you do it OUR way" thing, but this place takes it to a whole other level. And dont ever even bother calling in an order for pick up because you wont even be able to get a word in edgewise. Somewhere along the way someone told these people that they are 'the best' and it went RIGHT to their head. But enough about the terrible service. The pizza itself isnt even that great. Its never cooked enough, unless you tell them to cook it well done. If you want the best pizza in the north end...skip Reginas and head over to the Pushcart Cafe on Salem Street. Take it from a north end resident. This place is the pits!
