Santarpio’s Pizza

Santarpio’s Pizza on Chelsea Street keeps the menu focused on pizza and barbecue. Start with an Italian cheese pie, add sausage and garlic, or order one with pepperoni and hot peppers. White pizzas are available too, including shrimp scampi with garlic. The barbecue side deserves a look before you fill the table with pies: lamb skewers, steak tips, chicken and sausage come with hot cherry peppers and Italian bread. Beer and wine round out the meal. This is the East Boston restaurant, separate from the airport location, so you don’t need a boarding pass to sit down for dinner. Bring someone willing to split a pizza and a skewer.
