Mortadella Head

"If you’re looking for a switch-up from the standard thin-crust pizzas that are sprinkled all over Boston, Mortadella Head serves up a Roman-style, thick-crust pizza loaded with toppings. Slices are the way to go at Mortadella Head — order the chef’s special, which includes a variety of six Roman slices that serve as an excellent sampler of the menu. Try the Commendatore with porchetta, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers, and grated pecorino." - Nathan Tavares, Tommy Ranucci, Eater Staff

"Just as you exit the Davis Square station on the Red Line, you’ll spot this busy pizza shop with a hilarious name. Here, you’ll encounter a massive selection of Roman pies with a thick, chewy crust that’s thinner than Chicago deep dish-style pizza but heartier than a classic Neapolitan-style pizza. Because it’s twice-baked, the bottom side is extra crispy, contrasting the soft, focaccia-like texture of the crumb." - Valerie Li Stack

"Mortadella Head is known for its Roman-style pizza, particularly the Grandma pizza, which includes red sauce, mozzarella, pecorino, basil, and extra-virgin olive oil." - Terrence Doyle

"Somerville seemed to be at the center of a lot of dining news this year. [...] Mortadella Head. Urban Axes just opened there, too, which means Somerville is now the most convenient place to eat and then throw shit." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"The Boston Burger Co. team’s new venture, Mortadella Head, offers square pizzas and huge sandwiches.
