When I feel like the world has turned it's back on me, you know who's always there for me? Pizza. And almost every day there's a new survey or study or blog naming THE best pizza in Massachusetts. I guess this is another one of those... kind of. Also, the winner of this Massachusetts Pizza Off was neither A) Pizzeria Regina nor B) Santarpio's.
FamilyMinded just released it's best pizzas in every state - with a twist - they focused on "Best FAMILY Pizza Joint," that is, they're all "the best" pizzeria in the state to go out and dine-in with your family. I like that twist, good job FamilyMinded!
So I'll give you their picks for Best Family Pizza Joint in every New England state, I'll throw in a few extra states for fun, then we'll wrap it up with Massachusetts. If it's not Regina or Santarpio's, who do you think it could be? I'll also include Dave Portnoy reviews when there's one available.
ALSO - If you love BURRITOS, this one is the best in Massachusetts. Ok, on to the 'za!

I spent my first 9 years living in New Jersey and on behalf of my family, I'm giving the runner-up trophy to People's Pizzeria in Englishtown. They're closed now so pour a little on the ground.
Best Family Pizza Joint in Florida
Duetto Pizza in Key West
They made TripAdvisor's Top 10 Pizzas in America list so they're getting lots of flowers!
Best Family Pizza Joint in Tennessee
Bella Napoli in Nashville
They import their mozzarella straight from Italy. I can get behind that passion with my mouth.
Best Family Pizza Joint in MASSACHUSETTS
Area Four in Cambridge
I'll call this an upset win. Even though they're always bustling and boast a long list of celebrity fans, they're usually not in the "best of Massachusetts debate," but maybe they should be. Have you tried Area Four? Was it soooooooo good? Let us know in the comments!
