Pizza

Boston isn't renowned for its pizza but you can certainly get some good stuff here. And it depends on what you are looking for.

If you want traditional New York style pizza, then I think you will be really happy at New York Pizza in the Theater district. I'm talking about a plain slice of pepperoni, crust very flat but just the right texture, cheese that you can taste but does not overwhelm, just the right amount of sauce, and of course lots of pepperoni and pepperoni grease. Others will tell you if you like thin crust to checkout the Upper Crust but their unusual medleys, I find there crust way too chewy. Same applies to Bertucci's (at least as far as the crust goes).

If you want a little higher end (especially if you want a little ambiance), then Cambridge One and Stellas are examples of two places with flat crusted pizzas that you might want to try out.

Pizza Regina in the North End is pretty famous locally though I've only ever had it take out. It didn't blow me away, but I'm curious enough to go there and try it fresh. In general, I don't go to the North End enough that I go there and want to have pizza however I'm sure there must be some other places that serve good pizza.

Anyway, that is a quick round-up. I look forward to hearing from you all about your favorite pizza place.
