"Price: $ A North End staple. Ernesto’s has been around for generations and has stayed around thanks to the consistency of their pizza. A fan-favorite is the genius pairing of ricotta with eggplant and broccoli, which contrasts nicely with the unctuous cheese. Know before you go: This pizzeria is known for having the biggest slice in Boston. When a “slice” is ordered at Ernesto’s, customers are given the equivalent of two large slices — or a quarter of a whole pie." - Erika Adams
"Ernesto’s in the North End likes to say that it has the biggest slices in Boston, as each one is one-fourth the size of an extra large pizza. In reality, what you get when you order one slice is...two slices, which, sure, is technically one-fourth of a pizza, but some of the fun is taken out of eating a giant slice of pizza when it’s not actually a giant slice of pizza. Nevertheless, this is a lot of food for just $4-$5 depending on toppings, and if you top it off with a pastry from a spot around the corner on Hanover, you’ll have a great North End meal for under $10." - dan secatore
"With slices roughly the size of a roadmap (remember roadmaps?) this slice joint on Salem is the neighborhood’s best drunk pizza spot. Thankfully, the pizza is also plenty good (if overwhelming) when you’re sober, too." - dan secatore
"Ernesto’s is one of the best slice joints in the city. Get a slice of pepperoni (note: one slice is actually two here, so order conservatively). There’s also a location in Somerville’s Assembly Row. Ernesto’s is open for takeout and delivery." - Terrence Doyle
"This pizzeria is the sibling of a North End staple. Though it doesn’t have the gritty, old Boston charm of its older brother, Ernesto’s in Assembly Square still serves up a tasty — and massive — slice of pizza. As far as slice joints go, it’s hard to beat Ernesto’s." - Terrence Doyle
