The Best Restaurants In The North End - Boston - The Infatuation

"Galleria Umberto only sells one type of pizza. They make a limited number of their Sicilian-style pies every day, and once they sell out (and they always sell out) they close up shop, usually at around 2:30pm. If you only make a single type of pizza, it better be good, and luckily Umberto’s is exceptional, with a fluffy crust that supports a sea of red sauce and a humble layer of mozzarella. They also serve a variety of Italian street foods (also in limited quantities), like arancini with a hearty ragu center, deep-fried cheesy potato panzerotti, and calzones. The space is cavernous, owing to the restaurant's past life as a church and, later, as a tenement home, and while there’s a good amount of seating indoors, if it’s too packed you can grab a spot on a bench outside at the nearby Paul Revere Mall." - lala thaddeus, tanya edwards
