Pizza: a universal love affair. Let’s face it, it’s rare for someone to not enjoy pizza. It’s a perfect food. Whether it's a New York slice, a Detroit style square, or New Haven thin crust… we want it. Crispy, gooey, and always hard to turn down – pizza knows how to throw a slice of joy into any occasion.

That’s why, no matter where we are, we’re searching for the best pizza. We believe we know a thing or two about pizza and we’ve shared the best of NYC and New Haven, and now after hunting for months, here is the best of Boston. We’ve broken them into two categories. The first are the classic’s… these are the simple, no frills, pies. The second are specialty pizzas, which is more fun, creative, and unique.

Every year, we compile our top NYC restaurant highlights that truly impressed us. Since Sara moved to Boston in 2023 she hit the ground running to try all the best restaurants in Boston and find the best bites including lobster rolls, pizza, Boston cream desserts, and clam chowder. She even went down to the South Shore to immerse herself in bar pizzas! It was a fun year, so here are the top 20 bites we had in Massachusetts.
