Santarpios Open In Peabody

Anyone been there yet?

    I posted in the September Openings and Closings thread, but here it is again:

    Same menu (pizza, sausage, lamb) in a bland generic Bennigan's environment. I had lunch there today and it's translated pretty well. The pizza I had was a bit uneven- really thick on one side and perfect on the other, but none of the soupy, too thin middles I've encountered in East Boston. There was no line at noon but from 12:15-1pm there were lines, with the longest at 1pm when we left.

    I'll add, because I didn't mention in that review, that the sausage has that smoky charcoal-grill flavor, pretyt much exactly the same as the original. Also my husband was outraged to hear that all the takeout orders go in pizza boxes, not paper bags! The takeout counter is right by the front desk. I'll miss standing in the kitchen for my takeout. However, you can get a nice view into the kitchen if you head back to the restrooms. Seems like a pretty big operation in there, which makes sense, since they seemed to be handling the deluge of customers in a very reasonable timeframe.
