Editorial Review for Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizzeria – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
With over a dozen locations in the greater Boston area, diners don't have to travel far to enjoy a fast, affordable meal of brick oven pizza, fresh salads, and pasta dishes. Regardless of the location, expect to see many families--kids are given raw dough to play with--and young couples on dates. Servers are more than happy to keep refilling baskets of the excellent oven-warm rolls. A pedestrian wine and beer list is available, though most diners opt for soft drinks or water.
The Food
Bertucci's deservedly prides itself on serving up consistently tasty pies with above-average toppings like carmelized onions, roasted zucchini and portobello mushrooms. Because they're wood-fired in a brick oven, the pies have a wonderfully smoky, crunchy crust. Standard antipasto plates and large salads are popular choices to start a meal. Desserts (boring tiramisu, creamy gelato) are better enjoyed elsewhere.

I ordered penne with broccoli and shrimp and it was unremarkable in every way. The supposedly white wine sauce was very bland; seemed like the three ingredients were boiled separately and tossed together. And the pasta was soggy - there is no excuse for that! The Harvard Sq. branch is getting a little dingy - decor needs updating. Safest bet would be pizza, and get it to go.
Pros: Pizza
Cons: Soggy pasta

If you're looking for some decent Italian in the middle of Cambridge and don't want to drive to the North End, go here. They've got a huge pizza selection along with some pretty good pastas. The waitresses are a bit rude, but maybe they are just blunt? This is also good for delivery.
