When the moon hits your eye...

    When you think Italian food, you think pizza.  Even if they didn't originate it, they certainly make mean pizza.  "Regina's Pizza" in the North End lives up to our stereotype and exceeds our expectations. 

    My friend Katie, who lived in Boston for 4 years, guided me through the winding back roads of the North End of Boston to Regina's Pizza.  This is a no frills, pizza is the only thing on the menu kind of pizza joint.  There were pictures covering every wall of historic pictures of the North End and famous people who have eaten at the famous Regina's.  Katie and I looked at the menu and could not decide between all the fabulous looking pizzas.  So we decided to make our own.  We had ours with caramelized onions, basil and pepperoni. 


    It was great!  Definitely some of the best pizza I've ever had.  I think the secret behind this great pizza is all in the sauce.  It was a sweet sauce that was bursting with flavor.  You could taste the fresh tomatoes that it was made from.  It was a smooth sauce, no chunks of tomato or anything, but not watery in the slightest.  It was perfect.  The toppings all tasted great and the crust was a nice, thin crust with just enough crunch and just enough dough.  Katie and I were using our crust to sop up every last bit of sauce and spice left on the pan.  This was such a pizza success and made me excited for Chicago deep dish on our next tour stop. :)
