Santarpio’s on Route 1 in Peabody keeps it wicked simple—and that’s the whole point. Short menu, no nonsense: pizza and barbecue steak, lamb, chicken, and sausage. That’s it. When you do a few things this well, you don’t need a novel.
Our go-to is always the steak tip skewer with hot cherry peppers—charred, juicy, and hitting every salty, smoky note like it’s supposed to. Pair that with a pizza and you’re all set. No frills, no trends, just straight-up Boston flavor.
It’s hands-down one of the most affordable spots on Route 1, welcoming to families, regulars, and anyone who appreciates food over fuss. And if you’re one of people whining about a bar being “too loud”? Congrats—you’ve found your place and Rick will take good care of you.
