1. Magpie, Greenfield
This place has plenty of quirky style to match its tasty, cheesy pies. Magpie is the perfect blend of casual, fun dining and sophisticated flair. It's hip, but not obnoxiously so. Try a handcrafted cocktail with your slice for the full experience. (21 Bank Row, Greenfield)
2. Leone's Sub and Pizza, Somerville
The giant sign outside may scream "subs," but the killer sandwiches here share the spotlight with some truly mouthwatering pies. Unfussy, Sicilian-style pizza that comes in gooey, cheesy squares. This place is cash only, but the tax is included in the listed prices, so what you see is what you pay. (292 Broadway, Somerville, MA)
3. Antonio's Pizza, Belchertown
This scrumptious pizza place offers a large patio, full bar, table service, and plenty of helpful, friendly staff. Take home a few slices, or sit down and devour a whole pie. You can't go wrong either way.
4. Volturno, Worcester
This place was once a Buick dealership, so expect a sleek, airy interior and pizza made with style. This is a great locale for those looking for artisan and creative slices. Try the Calabrese pizza (pictured) for a classic and delicious taste of Italy. (72 Shrewsbury Street, Worcester)
5. Santarpio’s Pizza, Boston
This place is an Eastie favorite, and for good reason. There's a bit of a rivalry between Santarpio's devotees and Pizzeria Regina fans, but there's no question that this pizza joint serves absolutely delicious slices. This spot isn't concerned with appearing to artisan pizza lovers or getting too crazy with the toppings; they just do amazing, classic, mouthwatering pizzas. (111 Chelsea Street, Boston)
6. Pizza Jim's, Adams
Pizza Jim's is the definition of a low-key, unfussy pizza joint that delivers insanely satisfying slices. Stop in or take out (as good as their pizza is, the atmosphere here isn't exactly enchanting), and you won't be disappointed with anything on the menu. (86 Howland Avenue, Adams)
7. Max and Leo's, Newton
Delicious, hand-crafted pizza pies in a hip atmosphere. Their pizzas are cooked to perfection in a coal-fired oven, and the house sauce has just the right amount of garlic and spices. (325 Washington Street, Newton)
8. Papa George, Easthampton
This spot isn't too fancy, but it's a great option if you're looking for a tasty slice without too much fuss. It's a bit out of the way, so you won't have to compete with the crowds. Try a fully-loaded meat pizza. They're unbelievably yummy. (135 Northampton Street, Ste. D, Easthampton)
9. Lynwood Cafe, Randolph
If you're looking for a pizza spot that feels a bit like your favorite dive bar, you've found it in the Lynwood Cafe. The crust is crispy, butter and full of flavor, while the sauce is perfectly sweet and savory. Great bar pizza for great prices in a comfy atmosphere. (320 Center Street, Randolph)
10. The Cabin, Middleboro
Macaroni and cheese pizza with mini hot dogs. If that isn't enough to make you get in your car and head to The Cabin, nothing will.

11. Charcoal Guido’s, Waltham
The personal pizzas really shine here. There's something so glorious about ordering a whole pizza for yourself, and Charcoal Guido's takes that pleasure to the max. The sweet sausage and ricotta pizza is particularly decadent. (482 Moody Street, Waltham)
12. Espresso Pizza, Fitchburg
Want to know the secret ingredient that makes pizzas from Espresso so delicious? It's orange soda.

(584 Main Street, Fitchburg)
13. Palio Pizzeria, Hyannis
The menu here is based around the massive brick ovens, so the rich smell of baking bread and melting cheese is always thick in the air.

Stop in for a sit-down meal, or grab a slice and stroll the charming Hyannis downtown area. (435 Main Street, Hyannis)

15. Marc Anthony's Pizzeria, Onset
Marc Anthony’s serves melty, massive and deliciously sloppy slices that are best paired with a frosty Coke and an armful of napkins. Burn through your spare change in their retro arcade, and walk off that extra slice with a walk to the water. (190 Onset Avenue, Onset)
