RUN don't walk to Florenza. This place is absolutely phenomenal and somehow manages to exceed expectations every single time. From the pizza to the paninis and everything in between, it's truly top-tier Italian done right. You can taste the quality in every bite, everything is so fresh, so well-balanced, and so clearly made with care. I've been here more times than I can count and it is consistently a 10000/10, which is rare. The vodka sauce pizza is unreal, the kind of thing you randomly start craving days later. Anything with a chicken cutlet is an automatic yes, perfectly crispy, flavorful, and never heavy. And the cold cuts? Don't even get me started, stacked, fresh, and somehow better than anywhere else. It's the kind of spot where there's genuinely nothing on the menu I wouldn't order, and that says a lot. If you're still reading this, that's your sign. Just go. You will not regret it. read more

The caramelized banana gelato was so good. Give me 14 of them immediately. Little local shop with delicious pizza, snacks and coffee. Give it a stop while in East Boston! read more

I cant believe it took me this long to check this place out! Its kind of cafeteria style you order at the counter when you go in they give you a number to put on your table and then they bring it to you. The pizza was delicious! We had the eastie which had sausage and hot peppers on it the crust was just the right amount of breading to put the burn of the peppers out. The desert was outstanding and really inexpensive. Pistachio ricotta pie ive literally never seen it before and had to try it im glad I did. Another thing I had to try because I had never seen it before was the pizza wine....that you can skip just go for one of there delicious mixed drinks we finished the night w the espresso martinis and they were delicious. The only downside is parking is hard to come by so if you can uber walk or take the blue line I would strongly suggest it (and that makes it so you can try more of the drinks too) read more

Florenza - Chicken Milanese Salad Mushroom Truffle Arancini Crispy Panini - Sandwiches Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My friends had gotten them place as a recommendation. We arrived for an early dinner and found there to be mostly empty. But by the end of the meal, just about every table was full. Orders are placed at the register and they bring them to your table. We shared appetizers including the Mushroom arancini, and Caprese salad. Arancini was very smell but crispy and cheesy. We enjoyed the freshness and size of the caprese salad. For entrees we shared their Roma caprese panini, Primo panini, Florenza smash burger and Prosciutto & fig pizza in a full size which was more than enough food for a feast. My favorite was the pizza while the sandwiches were also tasty but a tad on the dry side. For dessert we got their Lemon berry mascarpone cake, Pistachio ricotta cake and Honey gelato. Everyone enjoyed their cakes but we found the gelato to resemble a prominent vanilla taste rather than honey. Overall, we have great experience. The staff were friendly and personable. Food was tasty and hearty (other than arancini). Would come again. read more

Florenza - Cappuccino - Sandwiches Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is a very cute cafe located right in the east end! I got the Caprese and pepperoni pizza. The pizza itself was very light and fluffy. The tomato was very fresh complimenting the cheese nicely. The pepperoni pizza was delicious. The hot honey was my favorite part. The service was pretty fast. They had plenty of seating but we decided to take the pizza and eat it by the harbor which was only a 5 min walk. I would love to come here again to try the pastries and gelato. read more

Had the need one evening for pizza but wanted a good pizza if that makes sense. I avoided the recommendations. The hotel gave me for local places to get a pizza. I did a little research and came up with this place and I'm so glad I did. It would've cost too much to Uber there eat an Uber back so I opted to do Uber eats for the first time . I called this place and had a few questions in the gentleman answered. The phone was so very polite and extremely helpful. . I wish I would've visited the restaurant maybe next time . Let's just say the pizza is amazing full of flavor. The crust was done to perfection and it was rather fast on a delivery, which I was very impressed with for the first time using Uber eats . read more

Florenza - Solo The Trio - Sandwiches Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Cute place. Nice area for something quick and easy, there's free Wi-Fi you can enjoy. Not much service but good to hang out.

The gelato was so good! We ate it all before I could get a picture, but the tiramisu and lemon ice were great. There's some seating in the back and also a tv playing soccer if you wanted to get a drink and hang out. read more

Tried them for the first time and ordered delivery. Surprisingly, the pizza I had here was some of the best I've had in Boston! The crust has a perfect crisp and chew factor and they are incredibly generous with the toppings. A personal size pizza is a decent portion and definitely filled me up. Only complaint is that the container they put the gelato in is terrible when you order delivery. It was dripping everywhere and I wish they would have just put the container in a cup or something to make it less messy. read more

Got three "solos" - woman said come back in 15 min. The impression was they were made fresh - nope. In fact, they were too lazy to even heat the premade slices in the oven. They were cold. So basically, I should have ordered the cold slices they have sitting on the counter behind the glass at the discounted rate. If you aren't going to cook the stuff fresh on the spot - at least heat the stuff. read more

LOVE Florenza. Everything I've had here is delicious, but the real star for me is their buffalo chicken pizza. It's the kind you think about days later: tender chicken, the right amount of heat without overwhelming the rest of the flavors, and a sauce that somehow stays tangy and rich at the same time. Each slice has that irresistible mix of spice and creaminess that keeps you reaching for just one more. The vibe at Florenza is friendly and neighborhood-centric, the kind of place where you can walk in after a long day and feel immediately taken care of. Also, it's great to be able to grab a single slice if you just want a quick bite. (This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.) read more

Was staying at a hotel near the Boston Airport and wanted some pizza to take back to my hotel. Ordered the proper pepperoni and it was delicious! Reasonably priced and really good. Highly recommend! read more

Florenza - Solo Proper Pepperoni Pizza - Sandwiches Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

UPDATE: Important fact about Florenza - the owner is adamant about clean and high quality ingredients. I was in the corner out of site reading a book one day during the slow break and heard him going in on a conversation about the quality of the ingredients and meats he must have to serve to his customers. It made me think...most any dough in the US causes my knees to hurt. I can happily eat my way through Europe with zero issues. I realized I eat at Florenza so much because it's good and I'm not in pain afterwards. I asked the owner about the flour and meats. They bake their dough with flour from Italy and the meats have NO NITRATES! Great food, amazing service, clean ingredients, modern vibe and chill ambiance...love this place. GO TO ORDERS: Florenza Italian panini, Funghi Solo pizza and the Eastie. My freezer is never without a pint of gelato. read more

Ate here for the first time after hearing good reviews. The owner was super nice and came to chat, and the staff who delivered the food were friendly as well. The caprese salad was disappointing, bland tomatoes and dry arugula. The thick crust pizza was good, and gelato for dessert was a high point. Confusing whether you bus your own dishes or if they do it... would rate 3.5 if I could, but rounding up for the dessert! read more

Great ambience and even better food. Had the chicken parm panini and would highly recommend. You can tell the bread is fresh baked.

East Boston's best kept secret is a secret no more!!! First of all, the standard round pie is every bit as good Santarpio's and quite a bit bigger. Next, the Proper Pepperoni is a square pie topped with hot honey and it's one of the best pizzas I've ever had. They also have several outstanding sandwiches made on focaccia bread. They are absolutely fantastic. I recommend the Italian and the Chicken Parm. For the more health conscious among us, try the chicken Milanese salad. It's outstanding! They also have gelato, sorbet, beer wine and cocktails. I highly recommend this place if you're in Eastie! read more

Tried for first time, got the $19.27 chicken parm panini. It was FINE but just pretty bleh and absurdly priced. 1 cutlet that's too thick, give me multiple thin ones. Not enough sauce. On pizza dough which was good just didn't hold it well, and honestly was very bland. It was fine but tasted like a $9.99 panini at most. read more

Such a lovely place. The food is very high quality and a lot of it is imported from Italy. No matter what you get it will be absolutely delicious!! Order a milkshake and combine hazelnut and pistachio to make Dubai chocolate flavor. read more

Some of the best pizza we have ever had in our entire lives. The outside looks like a very generic looking café, and even the word café is a little bit of a deterrent, but trust me, you want to go inside! They have gelato and all sorts of Flavors of pizza and their proper pepperoni is absolutely amazing. We cannot wait to go back to Boston and have it again. 10/10 read more

Stopped in today for lunch and was not disappointed! Pros -primo panini was to die for! It could easily feed 2-3 people. The chicken was juicy and yet had a great crisp to it. The bread had a nice crisp with slight char on the outside but was cloud soft on the inside -smoked monti was creamy, salty, and had just a hint of smoke -ample seating -super friendly and quick service -clean bathrooms Cons (I'm really having to reach!) -Diet coke was small (8oz) -panini was a little hard to eat because several topping were slippery (tomatoes, peppers, mozzarella) read more

This is an absolute GEM!!! We had panini, gelato, and the iced coffee with the famed cold foam and every item tasted handmade by someone who loves food, knows what great food is, and uses high-quality ingredients for each item at each stage of the process. It was a first-rate marvel of a dining experience and we will definitely be back!!! :) read more

This cafe is a gem! From the pizza to paninis, coffee to the tea, gelato to sorbet, and from the ambiance to service, this place will excite your sensory, satisfy your cravings, and leave you feeling appreciated. Having been here countless times, I couldn't recommend enough of their Massi Mortadella and Primo panini! The ingredients are fresh and high quality sandwiched between perfectly crispy and airy bread! As for their pizza, you can't go wrong with their any of them, although my favorite are the funghi and caprese! There's a flavor of gelato and sorbet for everyone! The best ones are the honeycomb, pistachios, pineapples and hazelnut! The raspberry tea has a nice tart while the pear is light! This is a great place to eat by yourself or friends to share! read more

The place is clean and organized, the staff is friendly and welcoming. We tried a couple of the gelatos and thought all were good. The limonata drink was super good and refreshing as well. We enjoyed taking ours to go and eating it near the water. A soda, a slice and 2 gelatos (1small & 1 medium - 2 flavors) for $20 - seemed like a good deal to me! read more

I've been twice and was really hoping for the right balance that was so missed on my first visit, but it just didn't happen. The dough is nearly perfectly fermented with a nice open crumb you would expect from a high hydration dough. The slices have a really nice crisp as well. The crust flavor was just ok. The dough, sauce, cheese imbalance is prominent, however. A light airy Roman pizza should not be heavily weighted with excess cheese. It undermines the whole "lightness" experience you would expect from a properly executed Roman slice. So unfortunately, a potentially above average pizza simply becomes average due to the imbalance. The slice options have been significantly reduced from my first visit, and the slices were old, with plastic looking cheese congealed over the pies, which betrays a massive supply-demand imbalance as well. You need high foot traffic to move slices. If they opened 2 blocks down into Maverick they would likely have a long term proposition. Will take some business acumen and creativity to renew the lease in 5 years. read more

This place is great! And I tried a whole bunch of stuff from their menu, so I can say that with authority!

Bravo!!!!!!!!! read more

I ended up with a cancelled flight and an unplanned overnight at a hotel near Boston Logan Airport. I knew East Boston was an Italian neighborhood with a number of great restaurants from an earlier visit to the city. Yelp helped pick out Florenza and its association with food delivery services. An online order and quick delivery brought a wonderful pepperoni pizza to my hotel. Imagine the best pepperoni pizza you've had (two different kinds of pepperoni), mushrooms, and a dollop of burrata on each slice. Easily the best pizza I've had years. read more

Great local coffee shop! I've stopped by this place twice since it's opened and have enjoyed my experience both times. The coffee is very reasonably priced and it's a great environment for studying. read more

I've heard before there's no such thing as bad pizza. Well I'm here to say that there is and it's from Florenza. I've never had to begrudgingly eat pizza before in my life until now (I had to, it was like 35 bucks...). I have no idea how they have such good ratings, but I'm here to speak the truth. This is terrible and I feel bad for myself for eating it. I would rather eat Elios or burnt bagel bites that fell on the ground than ever. eat this pizza again. I would rather a child make me a lunchables's pizza than ever willingly eat this pizza ever again. Ever. read more
