I'll be honest, I came here because this Pizzeria & Cafe bears the same name as my mom! It's got a lovely story of being named after the Owner of Strega's daughter and I love that.

You can definitely see the place's affiliation with Strega when you come inside and see the name on the Red Brick Pizza Oven!

Delicious slices of pizza, warmed fresh to order in their oven. I tried the Buffalo Chicken which seems to be a fan favorite and the Sausage & Pepper, which has a great classic taste. I would highly recommend trying their speciality slices like the once's we

We liked it! Had a slice of cheese, I loved the thinness as I didn't feel gross and heavy afterwords. Taste was very good, especially the crust. Not the #1 pizza I've eaten but top 5. Would definitely come back for this. The arancini had good flavor, pretty traditional except for being extra crispy. It was a good thing tho. They were too salty however. Pollo Caprese was good but could have used more pesto, a little skimpy. Lastly, the Quinoa Greek salad, was a disappointment. The olives were black instead of kalamata and the feta seemed of poor quality

Cheese slices were not bad but the margherita pizza was a joke. Looked more like a broth than a pizza, and felt heavy to digest. They probably changed something, maybe the personnel?

Spicy bolognese slice was very good. Busy but no line on Friday night. Quick service. By the slice, heated in brick oven.

Personally I believe that you guys have the best peperoni pizza. Reminder to update your website prices as it says 19$ for the large one and in store was asked to pay 21$. I understand that everything has gone up but for a large peperoni to ask 21$? I think its a bit to much, in any case thanks again for the great pizza.

Up there with my favorite pies in the city. Have also gotten their sandwiches a few times which are absolutely delicious and HUGE portion size. The meatballs are tender, flavorful - just superb.

A dependable spot for a slice of pizza while on the go here in the North End.

When I stopped by in the spring, all dining was outside, which I didn't mind as it was already warm out and because there isn't much room inside the shop anyway. The two slices and a soda deal for $8 was reasonable. Even though the pepperoni slices weren't the meatiest, they were still fairly large and just exactly the modest bite I needed to refuel in the middle of a day spent exploring my hometown.

So if you're like me, this is an easy, quick, simple way to fill up without waiting for table service

While walking the Freedom Trail we came across this place and I'm so glad we did. They are very friendly and service is great and fast. Buffalo chicken pizza was amazing and would recommend that. We also got a large pepperoni and cheese half and half, it was great and the kids loved it too.

"Sorry we only have slices" is all you will hear after 9pm. Kind of crappy for a business open until 11. Make a pie if ordered or accept that you do surge pricing

I have loved this place in the past, but they refuse to wear masks despite the city mandate, which tells me they don't care about the health of their customers nor about city policy. So not sure about this place anymore.

This place is next to Strega's and doors down from Mike's/Modern pastry area. We got a small pepperoni pizza. We loved it...crust and all. Good ingredients and crust had a nice fluffy taste. Not too thick or too thin. Staff attentive and friendly. Place isn't that latge inside but there's currently outdoor space to sit out front. We live in Boston and this is now on our favorite pizza list...not an easy title in our family. A must try.

This is a great place for those looking for a less expensive option to the surrounding Little Italy. 12-year old said to give it 5 stars for amazing pizza. It was fast as the pizza is pre-made and reheated by the slice. A good options for kids, individuals wanting a fast slice, picky eaters, or those needed a less expensive option. Note: this is not an authentic Italian type place, but the 12-year old said 5 stars.

Rina's is one of our favorite pizza spots in Boston! Their pepperoni slices are the best in the north end and you can order single slices or a full pizza. Personally, I think they are definitely better than the popular spot, Regina's.

When you go, I highly recommend their meat and peas Arancini. They are absolutely AMAZING! Perfectly crisp on the outside and just delicious!

They are conveniently located in the heart of the north end on Hanover Street and their restaurant looks newly updated. It's a great spot to get takeout and picnic by the harbor or in the parks near the area

Got the Primavera to go and I really liked the dough and overall taste. Wish it had tomato sauce though, not sure if there was little or none sauce but could have added more flavor.
Will have to try their other pies and paninis later since their menu has a lot to offer.

Great pizza option. Slices are squares. This has lots of consistent good reviews and well deserved. Convenient in the North End.

Came to the Boston and tried out this pizza spot for the first time. Indoor seating is available. Individual slices are random. Just depends what they make. The slices are huge. Ordered a cheese slice which was square and a mushroom pizza slice. The pizza is on a fairly thin crust, like a naan texture. I would be curious as to what a personalized order would taste like.

GREAT place to grab a slice. The cheese and Buffalo chicken were incredible. It's such a small little cafe and the vibes are immaculate.

Dining out in the North End these days mostly consists of grabbing a slice of pizza and sitting outside and devouring it. I was excited to try Rinas after seeing the reviews on Yelp, and it did not disappoint! I chose a white pizza with mushrooms, caramelized onions, arugula, and ricotta that was so good I had to go back into the shop to ask them what kind of mushrooms they used. (The answer is shiitake.)

My slice was $5, which was normally more than I pay for slice pizza, but I did pick a fancier slice so it makes sense to me.

What I got versus what was advertised — and I'm very disappointed. When I called the store after delivery to complain about how cold it was plus the lack of toppings, the manager told me that they normally only do 2 basil leaves and 6 quarter-sized mozzarella slices, and that I should have ordered toppings if I want some. Then proceeded to tell me what a margherita pizza is, which I'm very familiar with. Maybe they shouldn't use that good picture for their menu if they don't actually put that on the pizza. And no, there wasn't an option for adding additional basil, so the customer must assume

I thought it was good- not great. We ordered a small margarita pizza. It came out to $15 including 2 waters. The pizza was freshly made and did not take long to come out. The lady that took our order was polite but the vibe of the place seemed cold and it wasn’t comfortable to enjoy our pizza there. If given the option I probably wouldn’t return in the future.

This place has some really great pizza. I've been to Rome before and had the pizza there and got spoiled. I was impressed that the pizza here taste pretty authentic. They have a cool brick oven that they cook the pizza in which is cool to watch. The taste is pretty close to real Italian pizza and the service is very fast. I would for sure go back again, the only thing is it is a tad bit expensive. Other than that I would say one of my favorite pizza places I've been to.
