Regina Pizzeria in Braintree is part of a North End Boston institution operating since 1926, run by the Polcari family for three generations. Their thin-crust, wood-fired brick-oven pizzas rely on a century-old natural yeast dough recipe and a light, spicy sauce with aged romano. The kitchen sources fresh ingredients daily—no preservatives or additives—and uses aged whole milk mozzarella as their standard cheese. During limited seasonal windows, they offer a Caprese pizza featuring heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, garlic sauce, balsamic glaze, and basil. The original North End location has accumulated substantial recognition, including a TripAdvisor ranking as the #1 pizzeria in the U.S.
