Sicilian Slices at Boston’s Galleria Umberto
About 10 years ago, I worked just down Hanover Street from this place. We were a poor, threadbare nonprofit organization run by poor, threadbare 20-somethings. Galleria Umberto was a 3-day-a-week lunch stop for most of us because it was close, quick, and cheap.
Never knew its name, though. We always referred to that great little hole in the wall as Greasy Pizza. *That* was its (affectionate) name to us.
A slice of cheese pizza on a paper plate, along with a bottled lime rickey, would run under $3, if I remember correctly. You had to hurry back down the street to the office, though, because if you didn't, the paper plate would get positively soaked and would disintegrate from all the lovely, lovely pizza grease, and your precious slice would end up on the Hanover Street sidewalk with so much other Freedom Trail detritus.

I have tears in my eyes. I miss my hometown so much, and posts like this are the reason why.
Someone send me a pie!!!

That thing looks awesome.
Also, is it just me, or has Slice been posting reviews fewer and farther between lately?

I think I agree that Umberto's is quite good. I like that they cook this pie in a thin baking sheet. I will have to try and bake one like this at home and post up a review

It pains me to say this b/c I grew up on Umberto's. Pizza is not the reason to go. Their rice balls and pizzettas are bar none the best. Say hi to Ralph and Paul when you go and get the best arancini you'll ever have but if you want a slice of sicilian you have to go to Armando's.

At first glance this pie looks lie lasagna! This is a very healthy Sicilian style pizza.

Actually, it looks like something you might buy at Sbarros. Or get in the cafeteria at work.
I'm sure it's a lot better than that, but that's what it looks like.

I'm so glad there's FINALLY something food related in Boston.
I was getting sick of always hearing about the food in Chicago and L.A.
Boston really doesn't get enough credit as a foodie town.

I grew up in Boston and Umbertos is one of my favorites. I live north of Boston now....but I still get into the city and visit Umbertos! It's also the best bargain. In addition to the Pizza...you can't miss the wine they serve...in paper cups no less....
