A small counter-serve pizza place right across from the TD Garden.

It’s dirty, disgusting and far too expensive for what it is. Shall I continue? Don’t be fooled, these so-called “traditional orancinis” are arancinis in name only. Spit it out and forget about this place. Italy deserves better than that. A disgrace.

Honestly best pepperoni slice I’ve had outside of CT! Stopped in before AND after a Celtics game because it was that good! $5 for a slice is a bit pricy but beats spending $15 in the Garden. Cinis is now a regular pre/post game spot for sure.

Really disappointed with this. The cinis were all cold, the pizza was left out (see pic) with no proper covering. Saw flies land on the pizza and was glad we got the food in the case. Asked for some traditional cinis and was told no because there was only one left, it was like 730 on a Saturday and they were open for a few more hours after. Was told it would take 20 minutes for those frozen cinis to be made so we just got the other flavors available.

Tried this place while visiting Boston because I heard they have the best balls in Boston. Very nice staff and orders made fresh right in front of you. I ordered the buffalo chicken arancinis, pepperoni pizza and a Philly cheesesteak calzone. We didn’t love the Buffalo arancinis, they were too breaded or not enough filling but I would definitely try a different filling if I go back to Boston. The calzone was stuffed and super fresh! We loved how cheesy the pizza and calzone were. Definitely try this place!!!

This place is great! I’ve been dying to go here ever since I saw them on Instagram and ended up getting two of each of the mini arancinis and WOW! They surely did not disappoint, next time I’m at the garden and need a quick bite to eat (or even better, drunk munchies) I know exactly where I’m going. Bonus points to Cini’s for using an egg carton for something that isn’t eggs! A++

We ordered pizza last night after Bruins game- it was fantastic. Best white pizza ever with lots of garlic. The red sauce cheese was also very good. The crust was crunchy but not too much and just above a thin. Perfect. Would definitely order again.

Ran in for a quick lunch. We got 1 large Cheese Pizza and 6 Cini’s. We were charged $40 and after leaving and reading the price noticed we were charged way to much. The Cini’s were cold and the pizza was nothing special. Never going back!
