This may sound cheesy, but people love Regina Pizzeria — or at least TripAdvisor reviewers do.
TripAdvisor announced Tuesday that the North End mainstay takes the cake — er, pie — for the best pizza in America, beating out No. 2, New York City’s Bleecker Street Pizza. According to TripAdvisor, the rankings are based on the quality and quantity of reviews from TripAdvisor diners. Reviews from the past year carried the most weight.
According to the rankings, diners appreciate Regina Pizzeria’s fresh ingredients, as well as the “perfectly chewy, thin crust.” The brick-oven pizzeria also has a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, an indication of consistently great reviews.

Another New England restaurant made the top 10 list: Modern Apizza in New Haven, Conn., came in at No. 3, celebrated for its thin crust, savory sauce, and for piling on the toppings.
Although Regina Pizzeria topped the list as the best pizza restaurant in the country, Boston ranked seventh on the list of top US cities for pizza. New York City and Chicago took first and second, respectively.
