Pizza Heaven

A North End hole in the wall with big things to offer

Ernesto's, North End, Boston

hen the line at a certain other North End pizza joint starts to stretch around the corner, head off the beaten path and onto tiny one-way Salem Street to find Ernesto’s, an unassuming hole in the wall with big things to offer. Although it looks at first glance like a takeout joint, there are a few self-service tables if you’re quick enough to snag one, and even a basic selection of bottled beers. A cheese slice starts at just a few dollars—and Ernesto’s idea of a slice is about the same size as a quarter of a pizza somewhere else—while toppings including shrimp scampi and cheeseburger will fill you up fast.

Shhhh! The house pizza, the Ernesto, combines chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms.
Shhhh! Can't make up your mind?
There are also daily specials.

Shhh who knew

"Scampi" is actually from the Italian word "scampo," meaning lobster, not shrimp.
