Explore American history, Italian cuisine and more in Boston’s oldest neighborhood

 

Regina Pizzeria

Boston’s original brick oven pizzeria (pictured) has been rightfully famous since 1926 for its signature, piping hot pies crafted from hand-kneaded dough, sauce made from all-natural ingredients and the finest aged mozzarella—not to mention a wide array of toppings, from homemade sausage and meatballs to fresh veggies like onion, green pepper, spinach, broccoli and mushroom.
