Nestled in Chelsea, this cozy spot serves top-tier wood-fired pizzas and handmade pasta, with friendly vibes and a charming outdoor patio.
"Ciao opened in Chelsea in 2015, and like its crust, has quickly risen to the top of Boston’s pizza echelon for outstanding wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza. It’s a tiny storefront, but there’s a bit of counter seating inside and a few seats outdoors in warmer seasons. Try a Nutella pizza for dessert because why not?" - Nathan Tavares, Tommy Ranucci, Eater Staff
"Since it’s hidden in the shadow of Tobin Bridge in Chelsea, Ciao wins the award for the best Boston pizzeria you probably haven’t heard about. If this place were in the North End, though, there would be a line of golf-shirt-wearing tourists from Ohio outside it every day at noon. The crust is chewy and soft, and it comes out of the wood-fired oven really quickly. The best option is the ‘nduja pie, with that spreadable spicy pork sausage, squash puree, shallots, gorgonzola, and mozzarella." - tanya edwards
