Editorial Review for Pizzeria Regina – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Pie enthusiasts flock to this atmospheric little eatery, on the point of one of the North End's narrow triangular blocks. Service runs to the slow and impersonal, but that never stops the hordes--area residents, pizza fanatics from the suburbs and in-the-know tourists--from lining up for the addictive specialties, or waiting for takeout in the cozy, cramped bar. Don't skip the wait just because you can get a slice by the same name in Quincy Market; that takeaway outpost's pizza disappoints in comparison to the goods offered at this location.
The Food
Go for the obvious: Thin-crust cheese pizza oozing with mozzarella and tangy tomato sauce, all surrounded by a pillowy crust, is a sure winner. Regina's famous gas-fired brick ovens also churn out consistently satisfying specialty pies, including savory spinach-pesto and white clam varieties. Those hoping for a sweet finish are out of luck, as no dessert is served.

Insider Tips
ParkingAll parking in the immediate vicinity is resident permit only. There's no valet service, so driving here is a no-no. Walk or take the T (Haymarket).
Know Before You GoDon't be caught off guard by the waitstaff's famously sour disposition--it's nothing personal.
What to DrinkThe pizzeria's wine list features some of the city's cheapest selections, but be warned: Your Chianti may arrive in a screw-top bottle.

The pizza here is amazing!! highly recommend visiting this place. Saw rob lowe there too, and the night before that leonardo dicaprio was enjoying a pizza. so, seems to be quite the place to visit!

I would give them a negative star if I could. The pizza is "passable" at best. Seriously, there is nothing special about it at all & as other reviewers have mentioned it is either too dough or burnt w/ a charcoal like substance on the bottom. The wait staff is awful! If you feel the need to have Pizzeria Regina's at least get take out, you want the least amount of contact with these bitter old waitresses as possible. If you want good pizza where they people are actually glad to have you as a customer, got to Ernesto's, you will have a better experience all around.
Cons: hag like waitresses!
