Boston | My favorite Italian pizza is at Posto

🔥 Posto: Davis Square’s Unshakable Pizza Obsession (Since 2009!) 🇮🇹 In a city drowning in "authentic" Italian joints, Posto stands apart—a wood-fired love letter to Naples that’s been my Somerville staple for half a decade. Forget white-tablecloth pretension; this is where chefs flour-dust their aprons, the oven burns at 900°F, and the Margherita might ruin all other pizzas for you. Here’s the devotion breakdown: 🍕 Why It’s My #1 Boston Pizza 1. The Dough: 72-hour fermented for that chewy-yet-crisp holy grail texture. Charred leopard-spot crust—holds its structure even when loaded. 2. The Margherita ($18): San Marzano tomato sauce so bright it sings. Fior di latte mozzarella (melts into creamy pools, not grease). Fresh basil added post-bake—no sad, wilted herbs here. 3. The Sausage Pizza ($21): House-made fennel-spiked sausage (spicy enough to make you sip wine faster). No floppy center—this pie has structural integrity. 🍝 Beyond Pizza: Sleepers & Skippers ✅ Must-Order: Bolognese Rigatoni ($24): Ragù clings like it’s paid to—deep, meaty, umami bomb. Tiramisu ($10): Espresso-forward, mascarpone lighter than a Somerville winter. ⚠️ Skip Unless Addicted: Arugula Salad (fine, but you came for carbs). Bruschetta (goat cheese overpowers). 🎪 The Vibe • Front Room: Lively, open kitchen, ideal for pizza-bar theatrics. • Back Room: Dim, intimate, date-night approved. • Pro Tip: Sit at the chef’s counter to watch your pie get launched into the dome oven. 📍 Need-to-Knows • Address: 187 Elm St (Davis Square T stop = 2 min walk). • Reservations: Essential on weekends (walk-ins wait with Aperol Spritzes). • Parking: Street spots exist if you’re wicked patient. #BostonPizzaGods #WoodFireMagic #NoRegretsCarbs #SomervilleEats
