Large pizza for 20, always fast and fresh. Our go-to place for 2 years now bc of the great crust, flavorful pizza, and reliability. We live neaeby so we often order pickup via UberEats and it's always ready in 10 mins. One time I forgot to order ahead so I walked up to the counter and they were also done in 10 min! Seating area is limited and quite small and parking is terrible but that's on par for the area lol not their fault. Nowhere to park on this streer but there's 3 towing companies prowling around.

I just got the Spicy Seafood Red Gourmet pizza. Most expensive thing on the menu. This was the first time I've not been disappointed with how much I have paid for something since I moved to this state a year ago. I don't know what Team of talented people were running the kitchen the night of 1/3/25, but keep them, high five them, and give them a raise! That pizza was a thing cooked to perfection, and the ingredients tasted fresh and delicious. No soggy bottom. An extra large slice, heavy with toppings, didn't flop at all, but also wasn't overcooked. I haven't had a pizza this good since I was at I Ghibellini in Florence, Italy. Please don't be like every other place that doesn't value good staff and lets their food become disappointing. For the love of everything worth a damn in this world, please continue this level of quality!

This pizza, and the garlic knots, are great. The sauce and cheese on the garlic knots are so good I made a little pasta dish for leftovers with the extras I had. I'm not normally an advocate of pizza slices outside of NYC just due to how they don't get eaten fast enough to be fresh, but I'll be darned, the slices are good here.

The best pizza in Boston hands down! I've been coming here for over 7 years, I love their pizza, salads, garlic knots and jalapeno poppers! ...

Best pizza I’ve ever had. They have really good pasta dishes as well. And free garlic knots with every pasta dish and they’re soooooooo good

A true pizza oasis in a city that generally does not have good pizza. I carry out large pepperoni pizzas for 20 quite frequently these days. The pizza are quite large, the crust is chewy with a slight crunch from the singed top, there plenty of cheese with a satisfying a cheese pull, and the sauce balances sweet, savory, and sour.

Hidden behind construction scaffolding, La Befana is a gem :-) Had a tasty slice of cheese. The crust is excellent, but could use more red sauce IMO. Loving the chalk art on the walls. A great nod to artisanal pizza :-)
