An institution fior us! I am been coming to the OG Regina's since I was a kid! That oven bakes the BEST Cheese Pizza in the country! 100 years old now and still serving lines of people out the door! We ordered our usual Cheese Pizza but only a 10" so we would have room for dessert at Modern Pastry (dine in!). I tried their own brand of cream soda, it was excellent! Pizza as expected, amazing. That crust, even char marks on underneath! Our server was Cidia. She was great and very friendly. They are very busy and yet very patient and nice. Great food and service, that keeps us all coming back! Here's to 100 more years! read more

New York style pizza done well! The crust was so crispy, flavorful and thin. Despite all the juicy grease from the fresh pepperoni it never got soggy or fell apart! It came out super fresh and it's a super solid pick for your classic pepperoni slice! Note: if you want a slice you can only get cheese or pepperoni sadly :( read more

I'll start by saying that I was HIGHLY skeptical before heading here for pizza and some beers before a game at the TD Garden. I typically avoid chain locations and had associated Regina Pizzeria with airport/mall locations but a Reddit subthread really pushed me to giving the original location in the North End a try. It was absolutely worth the visit. The location is literally stuck in the past - in a good way. People are friendly, until you ask a dumb question or make their life more difficult. The "elbow room" you get just literally doesn't exist. AND the food just stands on it's own. read more

We stopped for a slice of pizza while walking around the North End. Place was super packed and ended up taking a pie to eat outside for our group. The crust was crispy and thin.

We visited Regina Pizzeria the original location in the North End while our stay in Boston and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the Giambotta pizza, and it was outstanding. The dough had the perfect balance of crisp crust and chew, cooked just right, and every bite was packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality and tradition behind this pizza. This is a truly authentic pizza place, full of history and character, and it shows in the food. Simple, classic, and done extremely well. We will definitely be back next time we're in Boston. Highly recommend if you're looking for real North End pizza. read more

Ever since moving here from California, my new england born dad couldn't stop talking about Regina pizza!! He recalled the nostalgia of their food and raved about the flavors for so long that I was eager to give them a try. My friends and I stumbled upon this location walking in the north end, and got seated immediately despite our large group. The service was fast, kind, efficient, and friendly making the experience feel all the more like home. Now I know what my dad means when he talks about this spot's familial vibes, the inside is cozy and casual reminding me of the perfect "let's grab pizza" place! The food itself also helps by bringing perfectly simple yet packed with satisfying flavors you'd desire in a good slice. The crust has a nice crisp and the toppings are well portioned bringing to the table a delicious balance of flavors. I'm so glad to have stopped here for a fun night with friends, and I will definitely be back again soon! read more

We had this pizza delivered over the weekend and enjoyed it. Their sauce was tasty and the cheese mixture was yummy as well! We got it "well done" but still think it could've been cooked longer. The crust was a little doughy and lacked flavor. Overall it was a pretty good pizza though. read more

This place is your no frills- come in, eat, and leave solid pizza joint. My friends and I came on a busy Friday and waited in line for about an hour. Someone monitors the line and takes account the party size, which we saw a lot of smaller tables being sat first. When we got it we ordered immediately and I got the white pizza with the pineapples and it was great! I loved the dough on the pizza- it was thin, crispy, and the crust was fabulous! This place is solid given the hype- and yes there are better pizza places out there but this place is pretty good! We were also in and out in about 40 mins! read more

We waited approx 20 min for a table for 2 on Saturday afternoon after being recommended Regina Pizzeria by a close friend. The woman at the door was really nice and gave us menus while we waited so we could be ready to order upon being seated. She told us where to sit and our waitress came by and took our order within 5-10 min of being seated. We got two 10" pizzas - pepperoni and quattro formaggio. It came out within 10 min of ordering so in the meantime, we watched some of the football game that was on the tv. The restaurant decor is very nostalgic of what a old-school pizza shop would be like. There were lots of different police badges from across the nation on the wall, as well as old pictures. The place itself is pretty small but it's not egregious, just kinda cozy. The pizzas themselves were soooo delicious! The ricotta was so prominent on the quattro pizza, I really loved it. The tomato sauce on the pepperoni pizza was 100/10, hands down some of the best I've ever had. I loved everything about it. It was reasonably priced and I would 1,000% recommend to anyone else read more

We were in Boston for the weekend with some friends, who recommended this place, so we decided to go. Shockingly, the line wasn't that long (probably because there was a large festival in the area with plenty of surrounding food trucks). We ended up waiting 25ish minutes and were seated outdoors. We didn't interact much with the host, and the place was pretty busy attending to seated customers, but our limited interactions with him were fine and our waitress was polite. We ordered the chicken parm and rosemary ham bianco pies, and they were nothing short of phenomenal. The crusts were perfect, sauces were amazing, and toppings were delicious. I would order the entire menu if I could. Imo, the hype is real and the wait is worth it. We'll be back! read more

My husband and I, along with another couple, were in Boston for just the afternoon. Out of all the amazing places to eat in the North End, we chose Regina's Pizzeria. It wasn't our first visit, so we knew the line could be long--and we planned accordingly. Luckily, we only waited about 20 minutes. The time passed quickly as we enjoyed people-watching and chatting with the couple in line ahead of us. We ordered two 10-inch pizzas, which turned out to be the perfect amount for four hungry adults. The service and ambiance were spot on, too. read more

Can't go wrong here!!! Pizza was amazing and affordable! During our Boston vacation we were looking for Boston authentic places and came across Regina's, with so many great reviews we had to try it. It did not disappoint! Food was amazing, restaurant was full of customers and clean, and they were all very friendly and helpful (even the security guard). The only issue... the long line but worth the wait! Reason for the 4 Stars.... Fountain Drinks are $4.75 with NO free refills! RIP OFF!!! If you are charging that much for a fountain drink, it needs to come with refills!!!!! Must visit if you're in Boston! Just don't drink your soda before the pizza arrives or you'll have to buy another expensive fountain drink. read more

This hurts to write, but I'm being honest. I've been coming here for over 40 years. I went in the other day and was astonished at what I was served. Not even close to the pizza from years past. No more char, large blisters, crispy crust. Even the cheese looked different. It was a floppy tasteless pizza. I'm truly shocked. I sent a photo of it to my son and he thought it looked like gas station pizza. Such a bummer. I truly hope it was an off day. read more

A family member recommended this place to my husband and me when we were in Boston and honestly they did not hype it up enough. The pizza was absolutely delicious! This pizzeria is the original location. We arrived Sunday a little bit before 5pm. We were lucky that there was only one person in front of us in line so we waited about 5 minutes before we were led into the restaurant to be seated. Once we were seated, the server immediately asked what we wanted to drink and order food wise. We needed a few minutes to decide on the food, so as soon as they brought us waters...we were ready. Looking back, I realized they are quick asking because they assume you're looking at the menu while in line and they try to turn tables swiftly. We ordered a 10" meatball pomodoro fresco to share. The pizza came in about 15 minutes. The pizza is brick oven style with high quality ingredients. After the first bite, I completely understood the popularity. The restaurant is small with tables close together to make the most of their space. It was packed inside and they were very busy with take-out orders too. We were in and out in 30 minutes. When we left, there was an even bigger line down the block to get in. The best tips I can give if you go here are to be prepared on your order and come during non peak dining hours. read more

Today was the first day that Regina Pizzeria opened their new spot in South Station. To give it a title it's this "Pretty Crappy". The sausage chunks taste gross, their dough is off, the pizza dries out quick, and the tasting of the toppings is mostly wiped out. I was thinking that this place would be similar to the flagship location. Which aside from the sauce, it's lacking in pretty mich every category. I don't want my pizza necessarily reheated from room temperature, because the pizza loses its flavor and appeal. It's like trying to re-cook a hamburger. This place needs to invest in up pizza, warmer, and I would even challenge the owners come to the spot because they could be making so much more money if they fix several things. The crust is too flour-y, and most of the time the crust is not cooked well enough. For my personal preference, the pizza lacks that delicious sauce. If eating flour dough and subpar flavor is your go to, this spot is for you. No offense to Regina Pizzeria - I love your pizza overall but this location is your worst. read more

I am from CT where we have the pizza in the country (Zuppardi's Pepe's, Sally's, Bar, Modern, and many more!) Regina's is a great pizza spot in North Bend! We ordered several pizzas -- bacon & onion (with the bacon cooked well done), cheese, pepperoni, and sausage & pepper -- and every one was delicious. The crust was perfectly cooked and light and airy- not hard. Friendly service, l. We didn't feel rushed even though there was a line. Definitely a place we'd come back to! It is almost as good as CT pizza. read more

We had to come here to try Boston's oldest pizzeria! The restaurant had that classic, no frills vibe. We were worried about the wait but on a Sunday afternoon - it was about 20 minutes- not too bad. Service was friendly and quick. We ordered a 10 inch Giambotta pie and 1 cheese slice. For two people, this was definitely enough. The large pie would've led to leftovers. I wished they offered different pies as slices so I could've tried different toppings - the cheese and pepperoni were the only ones they offered as slices. Nonetheless, we loved the Giambotta - definitely tasted the quality in its ingredients. read more

You have to visit the original location to Regina Pizzeria when visiting Boston's North End. This was my second time eating here. When I came here years ago, we ordered a large cheese pizza and I remember being blown away. I remember thinking to myself it was the best pizza I'd ever had. This time around I ordered a couple of slices and unfortunately didn't have that same reaction, however they were still good. But comparable to what you get from a Regina's at the mall... I do love the interior of this place, it still looks original and has lots of character. I sat at a tiny table next to the bar and had a great time. My server was attentive and my order came out quickly. Definitely order a pie when you come here, it's fresh and you'll be happy. Even if you're solo, order a small pie...trust me! PS. No free refills on soda. read more

Solid Pizza! We came on a Thursday night at about 8pm & it was packed with both dine in & take out guests. However, they were efficient & we only waited outside for about 10 mins before we were sat. We ordered the small Giambotta & split between 2 people. It was delicious & we wished we had gotten the larger size! Service was efficient & the pizza came out quickly. Quality of the pizza was outstanding. Not floppy, solid crisp & chew & the ingredients were fresh. No complaints & definitely recommend. read more

About a year ago now, I waited in the cold outside under broken heaters to go to what I had been told was the world famous Regina pizzeria. When we finally got in, 4 of us were crammed into a small area. All could have been forgiven, until I actually ordered. I made the apparently blasphemous mistake of asking if they had ranch. The waitress very rudely responded, "we don't have salad. It's good pizza. Just eat it how it is". I get taking pride in your food, but the tone and response was so outlandish, I still think about it and talk about it a year later. It came up today with one the people in my group, and I said I'd take to yelp to maybe finally get some closure. Also, the food really wasn't all that. Would have benefited from ranch. read more

You know when you have to wait in line to get in... it's going to be Great! We only waited about 15 minutes and it was soooo worth it! Go to the North End. It's the Original. Service was very quick. We ordered a large Pepperoni and a Meatball Pomodoro Fresco! Both are Simply Amazing! The crust had a perfect crisp to it, sauce had amazing flavor! The Meatball Pizza had an amazing garlic taste to it! When you look around and you see stacks of pizza boxes then you realize all the to go orders they do. Regina's has been around for 100 years, there is a reason for that!! Cheers! read more

Large servings of pizza at a great price with great taste. I usually never get a meatlovers pizza because they usually have bacon and I'm not a fan of bacon on pizza. With this variation, they opted for Canadian bacon instead. The difference in taste is definitely more premium, and the meat is high quality. The sauce was good as well - not too sugary or overloaded with herbs and spices. I also enjoyed reading about the history of Regina Pizzeria on the top of the box. It provides value and a little bit of humanness to a takeout meal while also showing gratitude for the customer's business. Knowing that Boston is one of the oldest established cities in the US, the background of the pizzeria helps to put everything in perspective. I highly recommend this place for a quick lunch if you're in the area or can order ahead. read more

We had a great time here, great pizza, lively atmosphere, and beer on tap! As far as the pizza goes, probably the best chain pizza I've had, I wish we had one in LA. The wait was super long though, we got there about 6:30PM and were not sat down until past 7PM, just something to keep in mind. Can't imagine how packed this place gets during the high season as we were there in January, which is low season for Boston. Definitely recommend checking this place out when you are in town. read more

Hands down one of the best pizzas I've had while in Boston. As soon as you walk in you're greeted and welcomed in like family. This is one of the oldest locations they have several locations around. This location was very seasoned and gave hometown vibes. I chose take out, this location can be very busy and they actually keep a line of people waiting to eat in. I ordered a simple cheese pizza and man as simple as that pie was it was amazing. Great crust, phenomenal sauce and cheese ratio and all around a good pie. read more

Had a wonderful time experiencing the well known Regina Pizzeria for the first time. The pizza was very very good. I was incredibly surprised by the buffalo chicken pizza, I had high expectations but they crushed it out of the park with that one. I don't necessarily think you need to experience waiting in line and being served there to get the full effect of how good the pizza is, so I think next time we'll probably order takeout. The inside was cool, but it kinda felt like just another pizza place with the paper plates and plastic silverware. Definitely will be getting pizza from there again. read more

Hard to judge accurately because we got a slice for take out so please take that with a grain of salt- the ordering process was so chaotic but it was fast. The slices for take out are only cheese and pepperoni unless you get a whole pie. Overall the slice was fine but a bit greasy. Not really crispy at all, just floppy and not thin or thick necessarily. I like a breadier pizza do it was fine but for the line, i really hope the whole pies are better. read more

What do you do when you're in Boston an hour before your reservation at the fancy Italian restaurant in the North End? Of course you go get pizza as an appetizer... There's something beautifully stubborn about Regina Pizzeria on Thacher Street. While the rest of Boston's North End slowly evolves into a kind of Italian-themed amusement park, Regina's remains defiantly, gloriously frozen in time - not because it's trying to be, but because it never saw any reason to change. The paper plates and plastic forks aren't a compromise - they're a declaration of priorities. When your pizza arrives slightly hanging over the edges of that pan, with a waxy cup of soda beside it, it's a reminder that you're here for one thing only: the pizza. No pretense, no garnish, no fancy presentation needed when you've been doing it right since 1926. This place is a living diorama of Boston history. Christmas lights drape year-round across pressed tin ceilings, their glow catching the smoke patina of nearly a century's worth of brick oven pizzas. The walls are a chaotic archive - police patches, USCG shields, and chronological photos from Saint Anthony's Feast dating back decades. Each tells a story of community, of cops and firefighters, of neighborhood families who've been coming here since their grandparents were young. The pizza itself is a masterclass in the power of simplicity. That brick oven - an ancient beast that's been burning since the Coolidge administration - doesn't just cook pizzas; it infuses them with history. The crust emerges thin but structural, straight as a board, charred in all the right places with those distinctive leopard spots that only come from decades of seasoning and hellish heat. The sauce strikes that perfect balance between sweet and acidic, bright enough to cut through the richness without trying to steal the show. That perfect, real, low-moisture mozzarella - browns and bubbles in a way that no pre-shredded bag of corporate cheese ever could. The dining room feels like your Italian grandmother's basement crossed with a police precinct break room. Red vinyl booths worn smooth by generations, bar stools that have heard every Boston tale worth telling, and that unmistakable aroma of brick oven pizza that hits you like a welcome home. While other spots in the North End invest in fancy plateware and cloth napkins to justify their prices, Regina's puts their money where it matters - into that perfectly seasoned oven, quality ingredients, and the muscle memory of pizzaiolos who know their craft. What makes Regina's special isn't innovation - it's consistency. In an era where "historic" restaurants often coast on reputation while secretly cutting corners, Regina's stubbornly maintains its standards. The pizza coming out of that oven today is the same gritty flour bottomed pizza they served when the North End was still a working-class Italian neighborhood, when the Red Sox were still cursed. It's not just a pizzeria - it's a cultural touchstone, and a reminder that sometimes the best things in life come on paper plates, in dim-lit rooms, with a side of history. While the rest of the North End increasingly caters to tourists seeking a sanitized version of Italian-American culture, Regina's remains real - not because it's trying to be authentic, but because it never stopped being authentic in the first place. In a world of constant change and "improvement," Regina Pizzeria stands as a monument to getting it right and staying right. The pizza isn't just good - it's important. It matters. It's a direct line to a version of Boston that's increasingly hard to find, served one perfect slice at a time, on a paper plate that tells you everything about what matters here: the pizza, the history, and nothing else. read more

I found myself wandering 'amos'ly around the north end of Boston yesterday, killing time before dinner. I spotted the bright neon sign "REGINA" and my partner told me I had the opportunity to taste history if I was willing. I am willing. I am always willing. Regina reminds me of someone's home, memories plastered all over the walls. A random assortment of police patches, religious devotional items and photos are scattered throughout, adding a certain lived-in charm to the place. I personally loved that each table already had the standard pizza condiments garlic, crushed pepper, parmesan - even an infused oil - placed at the end ready and waiting for my pizza to appear. The service was straightforward and before long we had a gloriously hot, bubbling institution on our table. I mean, it was literally still bubbling when it landed in front of us. After letting the lava settle a bit, I dug in. The crust is crispy and charred from the brick, but still chewy. These people know about gluten development and it is apparent in that crust. The springiness is a satisfying push back as you crunch into each bite. The sauce is savory, smooth and generously applied. The cheese ties it all together, slightly salty and stretchy. It gives a great cheese pull that food influencers dream of. Regina Pizzeria has been in operation for almost 100 years, and you can tell they've used each one of those years to hone their craft of making the perfect brick oven pizza. I know in the north end everyone has their favorite spot for pie, but Regina Pizzeria just solidified their spot as mine. read more

It's a little hard to judge Regina Pizzeria fairly since we only got a slice for takeout, so keep that in mind. The ordering process was pretty chaotic, but it moved quickly and we got our food fast. For takeout, the only slice options were cheese or pepperoni unless you order a whole pie. The slice was okay. It tasted fresh but was a bit greasy and plain. It worked for a quick bite, but I don't feel a strong need to go back. If you plan to get a full pizza or sit down to eat, there is usually a line. This spot is better suited for a fast snack than a full dining experience. read more

(the food and service) (for the social media team) Went in thinkin' I was gonna love the Giambotta--and I did, it's loaded and hits hard--but the surprise winner was the Pollo Pesto. Didn't expect it to be that good, but it was fire. Crust perfect. Cheese just right. Service? Super friendly, on point the whole time. No complaints there. But--and yeah, here's the side note--their social media team reposted my photo on Instagram, cropped out my watermark, didn't tag me, not even a "photo by" in the caption. Kinda a crappy move, not gonna lie. If you're gonna use someone's work, show some respect. That's all I'm sayin'. Still, food's worth it. Place is a classic. Just maybe don't post your pics unless you're cool with 'em takin' the credit. read more
