I'm not big on sauce, so this was my favorite pizza, but my husband loved it. Pepperoni was good, we also ordered the homemade sausage based on all the reviews. Expensive for a plain sausage, but worth it to try it. Super flavorful and charred on the outside. A little spicier than ideal for my sensitive palate, but overall super good. read more

The pizza here is delicious. It's no frills, but that's part of what makes it amazing. The red sauce pizzas are done in a unique way, where the toppings are under the top layer of cheese. Call me a pizza scientist! The white pizza is amazing. I could eat the shrimp scampi pizza every. Single day. Awesome garlicky flavor. The grilled meats are great too. Welcome to old school pizza heaven. read more

Nice pies with a lot of fresh basil and oregano flavor! I appreciate the pies not being greasy and the char, although a bit overdone was excellent. Would definitely go again. read more

Santarpio's Pizza - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

The food was excellent, as always, but the waitress was arguing with us regarding the % 9 tip and she was so rude

generally speaking, the pizza is very good, however, the majority of the time they grossly overcook the pizza and you can't even eat the crust. It's usually hard as a rock. The salad dressing is very tart and tangy. It taste like cheap red wine vinegar. And some of the wait staff is not pleasant by any means. read more

Santarpio's Pizza - Steak kabobs with peppers and bread. Absolutely delicious. - Pizza Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

I went into Santarpios with my girlfriend and my son, a teen who had just got out of work. We were seated pretty quick. Our waitress came over & took our drink order. We ordered sodas my son ordered a water also & she rolled her eyes. About 15 minutes later she brought our drinks & we ordered bread & a pepperoni pizza. About 15 minutes later she brought the bread. Over an hour went by & other people got pizzas & other orders & Ate & left. We never saw our waitress again for over an hour then she came & said she forgot to put in our order for our pizza . Really? When we asked the manager she told us it would be at least another half hour wait for our pizza making it a two hour wait for a pizza. Her reply was it happens. Not at Santarpios in East Boston. Bad business & service. read more

So according to some sources the battle for the best pizza in Boston is between Santarpios and pizzeria Regina! So we started our personal pizza challenge and ordered takeout from Santarpios on our way past Boston. Ordered a cheese and a pepperoni and sausage pie. So to be fair we had to reheat these as they were in the car for a two hours. Too thick and dense of a crust with no air or natural crispness. Taste was ok. Disappointed overall. I have had better pizza at a bowling alley in Maine. Did we order form the wrong place? read more

Went here for the first time last week. Our waitress was rude and not welcoming at all. I was expecting a bigger menu. They really only have a handful of items besides pizza. The pizza was good but it didn't have a lot of cheese on it. Also, no cheese was under the pepperoni, onions and peppers (to hold it to the crust) so everything fell off the minute you picked up the pizza which was kind of a pain in the butt. read more

This pizza is outta this world!!! Frank is the man. Would travel an hour just for a slice

Honestly the pizza is very good, but even though they close at 9, the kitchen closes at about 8 30. You will not get seated past 830 nor can you place a pick up order. When asked, the staff has no answers. Just change your closed time. read more

I'll start by saying that we did not eat. We stopped for a quick cocktail before going to an event at Spinelli's. The bartender needs some re-training in two areas: customer service and food safety. Not engaged with customers and sitting on the beverage cooler? Really? Oh and the counter was filthy. Eww read more

Little Caesars puts out better quality than this pathetic pie. Center was not even cooked, crust was complete doughy from center to 2/3 from the center. Take your chances at dinning in but take out noooooo. read more

Great old-style Pizzaria! Food is fresh and hot. If you want something besides meat on a stick or pizza, you're barking up the wrong tree. These guys focus on what they know and it comes out in the flavor, smells and appeal of some of the best pizza north of Boston. read more

Pizza was horrible. Took 1 bite and out the rest in the garbage, and then went to Wendy's. They need to do better. Bland, and tasteless. Seems like they were rushing or maybe the real cook was off this evening at 7:30. Either way simply terrible and now I see why they have 3 stars. read more

Santarpio's Pizza - Tasteless The Works - Without Anchovies. Maybe it was so bad cause I ordered at 7:30. Either way no good. - Pizza Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

Honestly, I think Santarpio's pizza is pretty overrated. The crust is super thick and bland. The sauce is good but, not better than Regina's. I had the steak tips and chicken tips both were superb bland. I don't think the marinate the meat or use salt and pepper. The servers don't care at all there was an argument between the servers during my visit. Very unprofessional. Would only visit if it's my last resort for pizza. read more

As much as I like the food here, the staff's attitude is enough to make me never want to come back. The attitude, especially from the older staff is very unwelcoming, pushy and rude. Around Christmastime we came in with a large party and the waitress freaked out because we added an extra chair to the table. You can just see the look of dread on their face when they see a large party come in, a look of pure and total contempt. They roll their eyes when you ask for things and basically throw the food at you. You can always hear the staff complaining to eachother about other customers. Not professional. read more

Solid experience from start to finish. I walked in and was greeted by the irresistible smell of an old school Italian pizzeria. The Peabody location is bigger than the original, so I highly recommend this one if you have a bigger party. The ambience is no frills and neither is the menu. They offer a handful of pizzas (around $16 each) and wood-fire grilled steak tips, lamb tips, and sausage (around $7-8 each, whaaat?). We ordered meat lovers pizza, garlic cheese pizza, and allll the meats. Pizza was incredible. Not a huge surprise there, since that's what this joint is known for. Each one is enough for 1 - 3 people. Crust was thin and crispy around edges but softer towards the center. I think what really impressed me was the SAUCE. So fresh and tangy. Yes. Meat plates were also bursting with flavor. I can't really pick a favorite. Maybe the lamb? Each plate comes with a big cube of fresh, fluffy bread and hot peppers (caution on these). Service was also solid. 100% will be back. read more

Did delivery to the hotel, but that's not the issue. I ordered a two-topping pizza, which wasn't bad. Although it had a bit too much sauce and the crust was a bit crispy on the edges. The pizza wasn't the issue. I got the steak tips and the 5 pieces aren't worth $14. They were a bit small and are also unseasoned and a bit chewy. The site also asks if you need utensils and condiments. I clicked yes, but none came. I was in the area last year and it was a frequent spot for a quick dinner and I gave them a pretty decent review. This experience was definitely a letdown and unless you get more tips for the money, they aren't worth it. read more

August 4th, 2024 6:00 pm +++ Waited 1 hour for pizza at the bar, no apologies from bartender and had to ask 3 times where it was we took pizza to go, bartenders should not not be able to be on there phones while working. Two couples came in after us and got there pizza way before us. Wanted to get the manager/owners attention who was there but he was to busy talking with a women at bar as he was drinking Miller lite and jack Daniels. Won't be back!!!! read more

Very disappointed with my pizza. I ordered a cheese, garlic & sausage pizza to go. I've heard so much about Santarpio's. When I got home and opened up my pizza, I was not impressed. 1. It was burnt 2 . Sausage was nonexistent. What little bits I had reminded me of Eĺlio's frozen pizza that I can purchase at a supermarket. 3. Doe & crust extremely hard. I will never go back. There are too many mom & pop local pizza shops who make much better pizza. read more

Love East Boston Santarpios and most of the time the one on the North Shore in Peabody, but someone needs to look into one of the young female workers. I was there on Monday, Aug. 7, 2023. I tried to reach Santarpios by phone for about a half hour between 2:15 - 2:45 PM , but no one picked up. Once I got someone on the phone, I placed my order. When I got there, the place was quiet - maybe a couple of guests. There was no one at the take out counter and I waited there for about 15 minutes. All of a sudden a young girl comes out from behind a table area which is behind the take out counter to wait on me. I was not happy to know that this person was not more available for people coming to pick up take outs. My food was just warm and I would like for someone in mgt. to address this situation I experienced. No one should be invisible when it is not busy and you gave to go orders waiting. I can only assume she ignored the phone too. read more

Called for over 30 minutes on Monday between 215-245 pm and no answer . Ordered take out. Got to restaurant which was very dead. Waited at take out counter for almost 15 minutes and finally young girl comes from behind area where counter is with a pen I. Her hand to give me my take out which was like warm at that time. Not sure what she was doing, but service mgr. needs to check I to this. read more

This is my first visit to the new Santarpio's on route one in Peabody. I'm not sure why I waited so long all my friends of been there the facility is much better newer cleaner upgraded from the original Santarpio's in East Boston which is very good. I ordered the old standby a cheese pizza extra well done and a steak tips and lamb sausage combination. As usual my pizza was cooked perfectly tasted great crunchy Crust Soft Center, Street cheese just excellent. The barbecue of course my steak tips tasted great my favorite the lamb sausage if you've never had a lamb sausage from Santarpio's this is a must try on your visit. And of course a big chunk of Italian bread with some cherry peppers there is nothing like a hot pepper with some oil and hot cherry peppers to accompany the lamb sausage the menu has many many items on it these are just a couple of my old standby favorites. This new location has plenty of parking with a large private parking lot. Easy access on route one northbound. The staff is very helpful polite. I Give Santarpio's Pizza a Solid 4 Stars. read more

I really like the East Boston location, as my former office used to have pizzas catered from there. I wanted to take a few out-of-towners to a pizza place that I thought was the best (or close to) in the area. However, the Eastie location was inconvenient, so I was hoping this location would provide a suitable facsimile. I came in on a Saturday night and getting seated was no problem. The server was generally polite and showed a little bit of personality, which I could appreciate. He seemed interested in describing specials and the barbecue. The only complaint about service was that food came pretty slowly. I ordered the special lamb sausages as an appetizer. I really liked the flavor and spices in the sausage. However, the sausage itself was rather dry and needed help by the way of bread or olive oil. I ordered a sausage and garlic pizza; mushroom, onions, and peppers; and a white pizza of chicken and broccoli. All three pizzas were very good and had their distinctive positives. The sausage was my favorite, as I really liked the savory spice the sausage provided. It seemed like the restaurant puts in some good care with the sausage. The vegetable pizza was good too, as the veg had some decent roasted flavor to it. The chicken and broccoli had a nice creamy texture and flavor. The chicken wasn't dry either. For all three pizzas, I really liked the fact that there wasn't too much tomato or white sauce, respectively. The pizzas had a good amount of cheese. Plus the tomato sauce wasn't sweet either, which I've found in other pizza places. The only major complaint I have for the pizzas is that the crust is a bit too overwhelming - definitely need to reduce that crust size. There aren't that many places around here that have the reputation for pizza. So if you know someone that's a pizza snob and you want to prove Boston can hold its own, take him/her here. Santarpio's might just be the hill some Bostonians will die on when it comes to pizza. read more

Yelp says they are open until 11. Google says 10. I drove down with my son and asked to be seated at 845 and the "hostess" said the kitchen was closed. On a Saturday night. What is this Omaha? read more

Terrible. We sat the bar and the bartender (brunette) was busy scrolling on her phone for 5 minutes before she came over to us. When she finally came over she had a horrible attitude. No "hello" just dropped the menus. I asked if they had draft beer and I got a very curt "nope" and she turned and walked away. We left. read more

If you are looking for fancy, you're looking at the wrong place. If you are looking for good tasting pizza and bbq meats regardless of the environment, Santarpio's the right place for you. The restaurant is a little old and rustic, and it's a little weird that there are lottery forms that you can fill out at every table. There are tvs all around, so you're basically forced to watch lottery ads that encourage you to play the lottery. But that aside, the pizza is awesome! The pizzas only come in one size, around 8-9 inches wide. The rule of thumb according to the restaurant is two people to one pizza. The pizza topping choices are pretty standard, but you should note that the toppings are added below the cheese instead of being on top like usual. The crust is a really good consistency, slightly crispy on the outside, a little soft and chewy on the inside. I think the factor that sets them apart is their sauce. I can't put my finger on what it is in the sauce, but I am convinced the sauce makes the difference! Since their sausages were strongly recommended, we decided to try the lamb sausage. Each order of sausage only comes with one sausage, some bread and peppers. I wish they gave olive oil/butter for the bread! The sausage was extremely charred on the outside, and I felt that it was a little dry inside. But it was extremely well seasoned, and I still enjoyed it very much. read more
