I've even seen pilots and flight attendants from Alitalia braving the lines here, so that must mean something. I prefer thicker crust pizzas, so this isn't my favorite. I wonder how much of the enjoyment is 1) the hype and the pressure to like it, 2) your starvation point once you finally get seated, 3) the thrill of a cheap meal. It's true that they don't use that disgusting greasy cheap cheese. The inexpensive house wine definitely adds to the joy of it. Boston is such a rude city, I guess the rude and impatient service just goes with the area (unfortunate first stop for people going there en route from the airport). Parking of course is challenging, and it is a bit of a walk in a bit of a dicey (though improving) neighborhood. The lamb appetizer is good, too. You definitely know that the waitstaff wants you in and out, and no accomodating special requests.
