About

Regina Pizzeria on Thacher Street is where the Regina name began in 1926, and it still greets guests as "Boston's Original Pizzeria." The brand has since spread to quick-service counters at South Station, Faneuil Hall and a string of malls, but this address is the one the company itself calls The Original: a pizzeria with its own dining room on a short North End side street, which the restaurant credits to three generations of the Polcari family.

Come for brick-oven pizza and not much else, because that is what the menu is built around, in 10-inch and 16-inch pies, with draft beer and a short list of wine by the glass or bottle. It suits families, a casual lunch during a day walking the North End, and anyone who wants the pizzeria that calls itself Boston's original rather than the latest opening. The doors open at 11 a.m. every day, credit cards are accepted, and there is no reservation system to worry about.

The recipe

The restaurant explains its pizza in three parts. The dough follows what it calls a secret, 100-year-old recipe using a natural yeast, aged and proofed before baking. The sauce is light and spicy-sweet, and the cheese is a custom blend of aged whole-milk mozzarella made for Regina.

What to order

The plain cheese pizza is the benchmark, with the Original Regina sauce and mozzarella. The Giambotta, which the menu calls its finest creation, piles on pepperoni, Regina sausage, salami, mushrooms, peppers, onions and fresh basil. St. Anthony's is a white pizza with Regina sausage, roasted onions and peppers and garlic sauce, and the Margherita keeps to sauce, basil, mozzarella and Pecorino Romano. Build-your-own pies choose from three sauces and a long list of toppings.

The original, not the branch

Regina also has a counter at Faneuil Hall and several more locations around the region. If the point of the visit is the 1926 pizzeria, check that the address is 11 1/2 Thacher Street.
