This place is in the heart of Davis Square, and I stopped by on my way to visit a friend at Tufts.
The food was SO good. This spot was heavily recommended all over social media and it did not disappoint. I got their “famous” chicken caesar salad sandwich for around $15. Usually, I find Caesar salads/types at restaurants too salty, but this was just the right amount of salty with the bread. The bread was lightly warm and the caesar salad the right, cool temperature, and the portion is massive. It is definitely difficult to eat, but it just goes to show how much filling they put into it and they give you a fork which is nice!
The service was also great! There was a girl at the front when I went and she was kind and friendly. The food came out promptly.
Atmosphere: I’ve heard people say it can get crowded, but I went around 12 pm on a Friday and there was only one other person sitting in so it was quite peaceful. The interior is absolutely gorgeous and vibey and the music perfectly complements it. Definitely can see how it would be difficult to find seating if it were to get crowded as there is limited seating, but I can’t speak on peak hours because I didn’t experience it.
Overall, highly recommend if you are in the Davis Square/Tufts Area.

This place is amazing! We had to try the chopped Caesar sub which was delicious – great dressing, plenty of chicken, delicious sub, and perfectly salty Proscuttio. They also offered us some pizzas – we tried the buffalo and meatball, delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming and we’ll definitely be back to try some more!

I’ve been here twice & each time I thought the food was good .. very good. However, they reheat the pizza for way too long so out comes a hardened overly crispy crust – not fun to eat. Also, the second time I went, I asked for the one with ricotta and when I got to my car I realized they gave me Buffalo chicken … not what I ordered. The sub here I had was very good as well. I’ll keep going because the vibe is cool, great selection, & overall good food. The person whom I think is the owner seems like a great guy.

Stopped by Mortadella Head in Somerville today and finally tried their famous chopped Caesar salad grinder — and wow, it absolutely lived up to the hype! Fresh, flavorful, and made with care (Ryan definitely makes it nice ). I also grabbed some frozen lasagna to enjoy later — love that they offer take-home meals, too. Delicious food, generous portions, and great energy all around… budget friendly prices… definitely worth the visit!

I was especially excited to discover that this spot is located near my workplace after seeing the viral chopped Caesar sub making the rounds online—and it definitely lived up to the hype. The sub was absolutely delicious, and the toasted bread with garlic butter took it to the next level. It’s quite filling, so half is plenty or perfect for sharing.
One great feature is the ability to customize your order. We added grilled chicken and opted out of the prosciutto, though it was still included when we received it—fortunately, it didn’t have a strong flavor, so it didn’t overpower the sub.
They also offer a variety of other subs, as well as New York-style and Sicilian pizza by the slice. I’m already looking forward to going back and trying the pizza—it looked incredible!

I used to drive by here every day on my way to work when I worked in Brighton and always told myself I had to try their food. A few years later and many Instagram posts showcasing the menu and I finally went yesterday.
It was totally worth the wait.
My wife and I split a little bit of everything and had plenty of leftovers to take home. The pizza was packed with flavor and I had probably the best buffalo chicken pizza I ever had. Gomorroa was another really good slice with a great sauce on it.
Service was great even while they were slammed and everything was fresh!

I drove all the way from Boston today to try out the sicilian pizza bc it looks so good on social media. It took me 45min from my home which was a little far from me but it was a nice day to do so. We got there right before lunch time and to my surprise the location was a little smaller than I expected but we were able to score a table for 5. The Sicilian pizza looked all good. I ordered a round pepperoni for the kids and ordered 3 sicilian slices (1 pepperoni, 1 pesto pepperoni and 1 chicken special ).
The round pepperoni pizza and pesto pepperoni pizza was AMAZING!! The other slices were good but the other 2 beat them for us! My family LOVES pizza and this was a win for them. I just wish they were closer to us .

This place definitely lives up to the hype. The food is absolutely phenomenal. I got the chopped caesar salad sub because obviously I have gotta try it and wow I was so impressed. It was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten in my life. You have got to try!!

Unique, flavorful, authentic, hidden gem! Delicious sausage ricotta basil pizza!
Found this gem by accident looking for a bite to eat before a long road trip & we were surprised by all the delicious pizza combos they had made fresh! Luckily our favorite flavors came fresh out the oven. sausage ricotta basil, and buffalo chicken. The bread was doughy and the toppings were flavorful. We would recommend this place to everyone. Thankyou again to the lively loving staff!

We’ve ordered from the online store all the way to South Carolina. Everything came well packaged and delicious. Even though we cooked in the oven it everything tasted as if it was made to order from the restaurant. The Chicken Parm mac n cheese is OUTSTANDING! 10/10 recommend!
