Brett I got your day planned out for you.  Now you are going to have to buck up and be a big boy but I think you can handle it.

First stop:  https://www.papastomatopies.com
Then you drive 200 yards up the road and try another pie at:

second stop:  https://www.delorenzostomatopies.com

Some people swear by papa's, other people love delorenzos.   Both are ranked nationally so why not try both in the same day?  I guess it's like a pat's vs. geno's type thing.  

Dessert:  https://dolceandclementes.com
This store was on diner's, drive ins and dives.  Get your self a nice cannoli but make sure to pick up some prosciutto bread (you'll thank me later) and other amazing italian food/pastries. 

Now I know you are a vodka guy but give working dog a try (about ten minutes away from everything).  I like their pinot grigio and rose.  Very cool spot to just sip on some vino amongst the vines.

Speaking of cannoli, I mentioned mikes pastry in Boston to a guy from Boston this weekend and he looked at me like I had two heads. He said to the locals that mikes is garbage and modern pastry is exponentially better. Can anyone here attest to that? 

Seconded. Mike's is for tourists.

Next time I know where to go. I will say I wasn’t impressed with the cannoli but did like the cheesecake at mikes. Couldn’t believe the number of people standing there waving their cash around.

I wouldn't call Mike's garbage, but Modern is definitely better, especially the cannoli.
Pistachio macaroons at Mike's are pretty good.

I went to some famous cupcake shop either where the Boston marathon started or finished.   Cupcakes were on point!  I don’t remember seeing a ton of bakeries in Boston.  

Poncier

Italian bakeries (the ones mentioned above and others) are in the North End, mainly on Hanover Street.

Good to know. If I remember correctly, modern is just a couple of blocks south of mikes, right? 

mcgruff10

You guys ever eat at giacomo s?  I ve heard from several people it is the best Italian food in the north end.  

bbiggs

^ Not I. We had dinner at Briccos which we really enjoyed.

Yeah they are very close, on same street, on opposite sides maybe a couple hundred yards apart.

Pomodoro was my spot, but I think it's gone now.

You’ll always have the Gin Blossoms, though.

literally right across the street....cheap, quick and it was only me eating. today’s leftovers were better than when it was “fresh.”

but, yes, lame.

That's pretty tough to pull off for chain pizza!

Traders Joes Lavash flatbread pizza... not bad for a quick homemade pie. Makes for a nice cracker crust.
