I've spent more time exploring the Boston pizza scene than the city probably deserves, and I wouldn't put Emma's in my top 5. Probably not even in my top 10. The crust is flat-out lousy. For me, that's an inexcusable sin in pizza making.

The best, I think, is Reggina's. Santarpio's is also outstanding, and definitely not your standard pizza. There are a whole bunch of places like Presto and The Upper Crust where you can good, though not great, pie. Picco's is similar, though a step above in quality. Pino's is wonderful stuff--the fiance was working a couple of blocks there for a while, and so we met for lunch a couple of times a week over their pizza.

Emma's, though? No thanks.
