Pauli’s North End

Pauli’s North End is a casual Boston sandwich shop best known for its lobster rolls, which it calls wicked famous and which are Zagat-rated. Beyond lobster, the menu leans into outrageous, overstuffed sandwiches and subs, along with wraps, pasta, burgers, crazy good homemade classics and wicked fresh original salads. It has become a local go-to favorite in the North End, and the shop also provides catering and meeting services.

The owner, Pauli, comes from four generations of North End food businesses. He started working at age eight alongside his grandfather Nicolo, his father and his uncle at the family deli, and later worked at his mother Maria’s restaurant. That experience led to his own shop, where customers can stop in for a lobster roll, a stuffed sub or one of the homemade classics.
