Galleria Umberto is a cash only pizzeria in Boston's North End that specializes in Sicilian-style pizza and was named an America’s Classic by the James Beard Foundation in 2018.[1] They are open only for lunch and when they sell out, they close for the day.[2]
In 2022, Boston Magazine named them Best in Boston for Best Sicilian Pizza.[3]
History
Umberto Deuterio founded Galleria Umberto in 1974 and passed it down to his sons Paul and Ralph.[4]
The building was originally a church. The New Brick Church was torn down in the 1840s and is known locally as the Cockerel Church because of the shape of its rooftop weathervane. The spire of the church that replaced it was destroyed by a hurricane about 40 years later.[5] The original rooster weathervane was designed by Shem Drowne.
