Bertucci's?

[rainbowbride617.livejournal.com]

Hi all! I know that long ago there was a Bertucci's in the locale that is now Dominoes and Wing Works. I'm sad that I was not in the Davis area during those days! :) I am wondering in the present if anyone knows of a Bertucci's that would deliver to the Somerville Hospital area of Highland Ave? Any thoughts or hopeful bits of info welcome!

I hope everyone is having a great spring!

the nearest one I can think of is on Route 16 just before Wellington Circle, or the one at Alewife. I have no idea if/where they deliver though.

And the one at Wellington is just miserable.

I'd say takeout from Alewife is your best bet. It's a very short ride on the bike path.

For what its worth: The Bertucci's was not at the Wing Works/Domino's location (at least, not during the past 10 years), but at the Subway (restaurant).

uh. How do you do pizza takeout on a bike?

If you have a trailer, I guess it will work, but you can't exactly throw a pie in a backpack or panier, and I doubt it will stay steady on a rack...

Thanks, I found one!

Hi all-FYI, the one on Main St. in Cambridge does Highland Ave. :) I also know the Bertucci's at Alewife does the immediate Davis Square area. Thanks so much.

Right -- and it was the very first Bertucci's, too.

I'm not sure what the Wing Works and Domino's started out as, but I'm guessing maybe a gas station?

Redbones delivers on a bike, somehow....

It's not so bad putting a pizza in a large messenger bag, if you have one. Or if you have a rear rack you can strap it on with a few bungees, two front-to-back and two side-to-side. That's what I usually do, and it's always turned out ok. When I was thinking Bertucci's though, I was thinking pasta rather than pizza, which is a lot easier to manage in a bag....
Anyway, I don't even own a car, so I'm used to coming up with bike-related solutions. Excuse me.

Good info!

Good info on the original locale of the Bertucci's and that it was the first one! I'm sorry I had that wrong. :) THanks again for all fo your help everyone. FYI-Minimum order of $25.00 is required for delivery in Somerville, but that's not hard if there's more than one of you! :)

Happy Sunday!

Any time I've tried to get any of the Bertucci's (Harvard, Alewife, Wellington, Central/Kendall) to deliver dinner pizza to the Somerville Hospital area of Highland Ave they have said no, unless I was placing a huge order for lunchtime several hours in advance. I tried 2 or 3 times and have finally given up in favor of Urban Gourmet.

Redbones doesn't have to deal with 'toppings slide'. When it doesn't matter what direction is 'up' for the food, delivery works fine.

[marphod.livejournal.com]

My concern is the toppings slide, from putting a pizza at a less-than-horizontal angle. Especially on turns.

When I called last night they said they definitely deliver to Highland Ave, as long as you place a minimum order of 25.00. We had no trouble getting our food! It might be worth trying again. :) Normally, we just eat out at Alewife, but last night I was a bit under the weather. It's good to know that at least sometimes, they will come by!
