Famous and Popular Foods of Boston Massachusetts

Whether it’s a sweltering 90 degree humid day in Boston or frigid with a wind-chill below zero, Bostonian’s don’t seem to change their eating preferences at all. Well, maybe some more favorite adult beverages in the summer months but outside that Bostonians tend to sample new but drift back to their favorites.

Online Ordering at La Befana Pizzeria in Allston on the Increase

When we opened La Befana Pizzeria doors in Allston Massachusetts in spring 2011 we wanted to be offering our customers the ease of online ordering.

Is there Any Alternative to Tomato Sauce For a Pizza Topping?

While pizza is a large part of our life at La Befana in Allston when you’re at home and making your own pizza on the grill in the summer then try something different for a topping instead of tomato sauce.

La Befana Pizzeria Neighborhood of Allston Compared to Our Pizza

La Befana Pizzeria isn’t just located in Allston, Massachusetts we consider ourselves part of this vibrant neighborhood and community since opening in March 2011.

La Befana isn’t part of a chain that chooses its location based on stockholders or a corporate office management located on the other side of the U.S. who in a whim can decide to shut down its operation in a location without blinking an eye. But not us – we’re here for the long haul for you.
