Galleria Umberto

This was so awesome! I bumped into a couple regulars and ask where I should visit. They pointed to Galeria umbertos and walked me in. I ordered a slices of pizza and calzone! The are CASH ONLY, which put me in a pickle but the local regular Nelson was so kind and bought me my food! Both were delicious and I can see why they were super busy. The hospitality and kindness of the people in little Italy is what will keep me coming back! The line of people and speediness of service should be a determination of why you should check it out!

Umberto is definitely not a fancy place, but it is a great place for a quick, inexpensive, but very tasty lunch. The choice is a well above average square cheese pizza slice served from large pans brought directly from the pizza oven frequently. The long lines at lunch attest to both excellent pizza and economical lunch. I believe it's cash only, but very worth trying.

So happy I was able to stop by Galleria Umberto! It is cash only and the food is very reasonably priced. The arancini was $4.50 and the panzarotti was $2.50. The pizza is also very good and keeps well for leftovers too. My favorite was the arancini and will definitely be coming back here when I have the chance

I hadn't been here for many years but I remembered how good the pizza was - I was on a work trip just outside of Boston and made a trip into the city and made sure to stop here. Still delicious! The men behind the counter were really nice - people coming in knew them by name and were asking about their families. I got in right before the line started getting long but the line seemed to be moving quickly.

The pizza was sooooo delicious, thick and fluffy at the same time! Tomato sauce tasted great and the cheese ratio was perfect. I have never had a Sicilian slice like that, I regret not buying more, especially for the price, only 2.25 per slice. The panzerotti filled with potato and mozzarella were stellar! The place is simple not necessary the cleanest but honestly I don’t think it matters, the food was delicious and affordable to care. The food looked to good that I forgot to take a picture before eating it….

Happened to stumble across this place. Waited in line for almost an hour but I figured it had to be worth it if so many others were there too. Pizza was solid. I was surprised that a doughy looking square could melt in your mouth the way it did though. The sauce and side crust were amazing. I think what will bring me back is the Arancini. First time ever trying it and I was immediately hooked. Might be one of the best Italian foods I’ve tried since visiting Italy. That alone will drive me back here. Cash only but very affordable. Great date spot as you have time to talk while you wait!
