Italian Pizza

Hi everyone. We are new to the area and really like Italian-style pizza. Does anyone have recommendations where we could get some in Davis Square? Having delivery is a bonus.

bertucci's says it's baked in a brick oven. and i think their dough tastes fabulous. however, it is chewy. i think they might have a thin crust option, which might be what you are looking for.

there is no bertucci's in davis, but there is in alewife (and harvard...and central).

as one raised in the suburbs of new york, the pizza here is just not that good. as soon as you accept that, you'll be happier :)

We're hoping for something more awesome-local-place and less publicly-traded-chain. Even though Bertucci's _did_ start in Somerville. :)

Anyway, it really seems like the quality at Bertucci's has gone down as they expand. The one in Kenmore Square (near where I work) is basically indistinguishable from an Olive Garden.

Having been to italy and eaten actual italian pizza, i'll say the closest approximation that you'll find in the area is Bertucci's. While it may be a "chain," it's a local chain which does a pretty good job of making me feel like I'm not at a chain restaurant when I'm dining there.
That said, I haven't been to every Bertucci's in the area, so I can't account for any variances that may occur between them, but I will say flat out if you're looking for pizza that tastes anything like pizza from Sorrento or Naples, your best bet is Bertucci's. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy.
Save me a slice!

I second the people who are saying it's gone downhill. It used to be my favorite pizza place, and now every time I go in there I get something that I eat a few bites of and then am totally done with.
