Here are 10 excellent East Boston restaurants that are offering delivery during the ongoing pandemic. Stay tuned for curated picks for other neighborhoods in and around Boston.

Note: To best support restaurants — and they really need support right now — order directly from a restaurant’s own website or phone number, if possible, rather than via third-party apps, which typically take a large cut of each order.

Pazza on Porter

Copy Link

This East Boston newcomer has only been around since late 2019 but has already gained popularity for its satisfying menu of Italian food. During the pandemic, all pastas are $10 and free delivery is available to East Boston, Winthrop, Chelsea, and the Beachmont section of Revere, noon to 9 p.m. daily. For those who don’t want to have to think too much, try one of the $40 date-night combos for two; one of the options includes a bottle of Chianti, burrata, alla Pazza (fusilli with vodka sauce, sausage, and mushrooms), Bolognese, and cannoli.

Order: (617) 418-5702 / Official Site

Santarpio's Pizza

The pandemic has ushered in a new era at this old-school, traditionally cash-only pizza icon in East Boston: online ordering and delivery. Order a sausage and garlic pizza, a skewer of barbecued lamb, and some extra Italian bread and cherry peppers.

Order: DoorDash

Dirty Water Dough Company

With locations in Back Bay and East Boston, this pizzeria is offering no-contact delivery around the area. Want to liven things up while trapped in a house with the same people for many months? Try ordering the aloha pizza — sliced prosciutto, pineapple, red sauce, mozzarella, Romano — for a fun game of “does pineapple belong on pizza?” Another option is the Fenway frank pizza: sliced Kayem all-beef franks, sauerkraut, sweet relish, white onions, and a drizzle of mustard.

Order: Official Site

Dinner is available daily, and there’s a small brunch menu available during the day Friday through Sunday.

Tawakal Halal Cafe

East Boston restaurant Tawakal — a popular Somali restaurant that opened in late 2018 seven years after founder Yahya Noor closed the original location elsewhere in East Boston — is currently delivering dinner. (Lunch hours have been suspended for Ramadan.) In addition to serving dishes from his native Somalia, Noor incorporates influences from other East African and Middle Eastern cuisines as well. Be sure to order a bottle or two of the house-made hot sauce.

KO at the Shipyard

Copy Link

While Australian meat pie joint KO Catering and Pies owes some of its charm to its unique location with a view, tucked inside the Boston Harbor Shipyard in East Boston, it’s still a top-notch dining choice even if you can’t eat onsite right now. Dream of meat pies and beer on the patio, but for now, get delivery — lunch and dinner are available Wednesday through Sunday. Hint: Add a few frozen meat pies and sausage rolls to your order for later.
