So I've eaten here and I must say, it's just middle of the road. Nothing impressed me here and it seems as though their dishes are nothing more than different types of pasta thrown together. I'm Italian, from NY (the Bronx to be exact, aka "Home of the greatest sports franchise EVER"), and even lived in Italy. The food here didn't remind me of anything my family made, people in my hometown, or Italy. It reminded me more of what I made in college when I didn't have enough ingredients to make one complete dish. So I would mix everything together. The food is edible, tastes okay, and it good if you need to carb load. I wouldn't really say it qualifies as authentic Italian though. read more

This place is terrible. I ordered something to be delivered. Apparently, the driver just left it on my doorstep. No knock, no phone call. Food just sat there until I called and asked where my food was. The person on the other line clearly didn't care about their terrible service. To top it off, the food wasn't even good. Avoid this garbage pit. read more

I can't even....... I tried, I really did. This is the second time we have ordered from Comelas in 6 months - being very clear we were vegetarian and wanted to make sure there was no meat in our food. The first time we ordered & As soon as we got home and opened the meals there was meat in the Mess!!! Ugh!!! We figured we would give them a break and didn't go back there for six months. Fast forward to today. Ordered food again - A "mess" and some other things. Over the phone as well as in person I asked repeatedly "there's no meat in this right?" I was assured there was no meat and everything was vegetarian. Got home and opened up the food and there is a giant slab of meat right on top of the Mess!! Again!!! . I do not understand why this restaurant is so disorganized and clearly doesn't understand simple English. Their food is good but good luck Getting your order correct. Please do not go to this chain. Ever. They can't do anything right. read more

Very chill place....on a busy block in Concord. The food is rich and flavorful......oh man......real deal here!! No waitresses, order at the counter. read more

Consistently excellent Italian food! I had the tortellini with pesto sauce & chicken and he had the meatball sandwich with red sauce Both arrived quickly and were both piping hot from the oven. They have a small but good wine & beer selection You won't be disappointed - very good!!! :-D read more

Comella's - a plate of pasta with broccoli and cheese - Italian Near Me - Concord, Massachusetts

Comella's in Concord Center has improved tremendously over he past several months. With new management there's more attention to detail & no errors in processing or fulfilling orders. My family & I are really happy about this. We've always liked the Comella food and this location is closest to us so we were frustrated with their repeated mistakes in the past. I'm glad they listened to customers and improved their service. Thank you! read more

Heard about this local chain from a coworker and decided to try. I love pizza so what did I order? Pizza! Price: 1 Large Cheese Pizza is only $5.99! Where can you find pizza that cheap? Taste: The cheese pizza was delicious and at that price I can't complain. It's not a special pizza, it's just cheese, DUH. Location: Just happens to be near my work, so it was convenient and I found a parking spot right in front of the shop! Service: I called ahead and I was told that my order would be ready by the time I arrive. The order was ready and still hot, sweet! Conclusion: If you want some cheap cheese pizza, look no further. read more

Asked for 3 cups of water, gave me one... Took around 30 minutes to get a medium fries done, it's size small for most of the other restaurants. Finally, when I opened the ketchup, there was a bug lying on the edge of the ketchup cup... Well, this is my first visit and also my last! read more

Delicious cheese pizza for $5 per pie is unbelievably inexpensive. Eggplant parmesan is my absolute favorite, but this place is known for it's "messes". You can get them by the tray or bucket. Crazy pasta, meat and seafood combinations. Street metered parking. A small amount of seating if you want to eat inside. Takeout is recommend as is calling ahead. read more

The worst!!!! Eggplant parm with ziti came to our table with COLD sprinkled mozzerella on top & ziti ice cold. When I expressed surprise and dismay the girl said she would put it in the microwave. Yum! Microwaved no longer crispy mushy pasta eggplant parm!!! No thanks, can we just get a large pizza? Pizza comes out with a healthy dose of attitude and in a to-go box. And COLD. Never, ever again. I am local & will eat anywhere else. The staff is made up of high school girls, I saw food going back cold and microwaved hot. Please do not waste your time or hard earned money. They did end up refunding our money but first tried to tell me that the pizza was more expensive than the eggplant with ziti. Like I can't read the menu? The worst! read more

Call for a takeout and get left on hold forever. The food is really good, but you may have to jump through hoops to get it.

Ordered veal parm twice in the last 2 months and both times it was overcooked and burned. Very little sauce and cheese. Been getting it for years and was always excellent. Will not return. read more

This is an amazing find in Concord. We each had something different. Alex had a calzone he inhaled. Paul had a meatball sandwich. He inhaled his sandwich too. I had a chicken club with avocado - to die for. I wish I could have eaten the whole thing. I also got some yummy cookies. We are on vacation so we couldn't take the leftovers home. What a great treat. read more

Staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating with my dietary needs, and the meatball sandwich is phenomenal! Great little spot.

Seriously comellas sparks a new kind of happiness in me. The food is great, the people are better. When I walk in the door I'm happily greeted with a smile. Comellas never seizes to amaze me, including the awesome cooks. Go get food at comellas now. That's all for now folks. read more

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible..I just ate at Comella's in Bedford, Mass and I will never ever go back. The sauce tastes like Ragu with added sugar. The chicken parm dish was chewy and bland tasting. On top of that, it was drenched in sauce. This food is so bad, I couldn't eat it, nor could my other friends. The pizza was mostly cheese with little sauce and tasted bland. What a shame...after all these months, we waited for an Italian restaurant to come to town, and instead we got a place I would never feed my dog its leftovers. read more

We're a little short on take out in Concord, so I was happy to see the opening of Comella's- I'd been to a few other locations. On our last visit, it was a zoo, with confusion around those staying and those waiting for pick-up. One of the teenagers who worked there was so shockingly rude to me and my 6 yr old twins that her co-worker offered an embarrassed an unsolicited apology. My husband heard the story and called, asked that a manager call him back. No one ever called. Give your business to a local restaurant that has polite, competent staff. read more

The comellas in Bedford made me wait 45 minutes for 2 pizzas when they said 15-20 minutes on the phone, and then got the order wrong ... There were 7 people behind the counter just standing around. They "lost" my order and used that bs excuse for why it was taking so long. Everybody just wanders around doing absolutely nothing even though there was a long line at the to-go line. I've never witnessed more incompetence from a group of people in my entire life. If I could give a ZERO STAR review for comellas in Bedford I would read more

I have been in Concord since Comella's opened at the little cafe in the alley way. It used to be a reliable, good place to get take out or go eat dinner with family/friends. Since it moved, it has gone downhill a lot. Pros: The food is pretty good, and you can't beat a $5 cheese pizza that is actually good. The staff are usually friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is nice. Cons: My order is almost never correct, even though i've ordered several times hoping that this time it'll be correct. There is new staff almost every time I walk in there (not just on different shifts) and people are getting trained all the time. There are minimal tables. They do a bad job of balancing when your food is done, so your pizza might be finished 25 minutes before they even start your pasta, so it's cold in the end. I'm giving it 2 stars for its decent service and decent food. Overall, if you want to eat at Comellas, eat at the restaurant (if you can find a table) or go to the one down the road in Bedford. read more

Takeout is very often the wrong item, pizza is usually burned, and service is very unfriendly. Use the Bedford location! read more

Comella's - Pizza is always burned from this location :( - Italian Near Me - Concord, Massachusetts

The Gluten free pizza was burnt on bottom, sodden with an excessive amount of veggies on top. The staff was polite but distant. The men's restroom was dirty with discarded paper towels in the corner behind the door. Being ASD the facilities echo too much, so I would not recommend this as an autism friendly environment either. Not to mention the less that 10 seconds the kitchen staff using the restroom before me had the water on to wash his hands, certainly not appealing in the least. read more

I'd really like to give them 2.5 stars because the employees who took our order at the counter were nice. But for purposes of Yelp, Comella's only gets two, because I can't in good conscience give them three, and yelp insists on whole numbers. Sadly, Comella's is not worthy of an "A-OK" rating. We found ourself in Monument Square in Concord, without any idea where we should eat. We saw Comella's and thought we'd try it. We did not know that it was a chain, since we are from Providence, RI and don't have a location here. We ordered a Sicilian Pizza. When it arrived, one side was too heavy on the cheese with almost no tomato sauce, and the rest of the pizza was extremely light on the cheese. It was almost as if all the cheese jumped to the other side when it was thrown in the oven. Regardless, nothing was a standout on the pizza. The cheese, sauce, and crust were all just so-so. Perhaps I am spoiled in Rhode Island by Caserta Pizza and Tommy's. Perhaps that pizza we ordered at Comella's passes for a Sicilian in greater Boston. But if it does, I recommend a trip to Rhode Island to fulfill any quest for good Sicilian pizza. We didn't find it in Concord. The atmosphere in the joint was ok. Nice old brick walls and photos of the brat pack. But several tables had abandoned plates waiting to be cleaned up. I won't be back. read more

A great casual dining restaurant. You order at the counter, sit where you would like, and the food comes out to you. There are just a few categories of items in the menu - pizza, "messes", and entrees. We ordered 2 Nephew's messes with eggplant and meatballs. Our "mess" came with baked ziti, but apparently it can come with whatever pasta the chef chooses in the kitchen. The pasta was well cooked, the sauce, and add-ins was tasty. Perfect amount of food so you can eat the whole (single portion) and leave a very satisfied customer. The price for single options is a reasonable $8. A full tray (double bucket) that serves 20 can be up to a ridiculous $116. Better stick to Comella's for a night on the town rather than catering. read more

Food is great and so affordable. Person behind the counter should not be service industry. Terrible!!! Felt bad asking her to take my order.

The food used to be better. I have been to Comellas many times. I usually order the Little Abby special (one meatball with spaghetti). Although the price has not changed, the meatball is half the size it used to be and the pasta portion is a lot smaller. It is now placed on a smaller plate trying to disguise this. The sauce is mediocre. Won't be back. read more

One of the better Italian food chains in Massachusetts. You can get a large cheese pizza for six bucks and it is pretty good pizza too. Comparable to Papa Gino's if that gives you an idea, definitely better than the majority of Greek places in New England. Sandwiches are excellent and during fall and winter order one of their "messes", great comfort food and large portions. Dining in you can listen to Sinatra and Co. read more

Loved this place. We were told to go to a place down the road and decided to try this one since it wasn't that busy. Great choice! Awesome service, best food! Loved it! read more

Friendly staff, fun environment. Haven't had the best of luck with the food. Inconsistent with the calzones. Some days they are great, other times very bland. Sandwiches are good. read more

I purchased a $19 pizza there yesterday. It was tasteless. I thought maybe it was just me...but when my husband came home and tried a slice he agreed that it was tasteless. What I can't figure out is how a pizza covered in grilled chicken, peppers, onions and mushrooms could lack taste. In fact, i tried to give my husband the leftover slices this morning to take to work for lunch and he didn't want it. In addition, one of the staff behind the counter was so busy constantly gabbing (loudly) to the other staff member. Another customer came up to the counter and she barely looked at the woman as she quickly handed her a takeout box. read more

I absolutely LOVE coming here! The food is solid, nothing too out of this world, however, for the quality and quantity of the food that I got, it has to be the best deal in the area. They hire young, energetic kids from the local high school to come work and they always seem to have a smile on their faces. To be frank, I have no idea how anyone could rate this place under three stars. They must have ridiculously high standards and have to realize that there is no cheap Italian restaurant that can make you feel like you are in Italy. Does this place earn five stars? No, but it definitely is worth checking out. Also, the take out is super easy and quick if you need to feed a lot of people at once. read more

Okay, let's talk about this pizza. WHOA! Haven't had good pizza like that in a looooooong time! I don't even remember what flavor it was but seriously it is now hands down in my top 3 best pizzas I've ever had. Love, love, loved it. Moving to concord in 2 weeks! Can't wait to become a regular at this place! Funny thing is, I don't even care for pizza that much. read more

This place is terrible. I ordered a mess dish ( which is actually pretty decent) with a side of garlic bread and they gave me an untoasted piece of bread covered in melted butter. My bread was wet. Very very unappealing. They charged me a dollar for it. I went again yesterday and ordered a chicken parmigiana entree with a side of garlic bread. I specifically asked the girl on the phone to make sure they toast the bread because last time it wasn't. She said she would. I go to pick up my food and again, wet butter bread. Disgusting. I threw it out. Called back to complain, the girl didn't even know what to say and barley apologized. I asked her to have the owner call me because this was he second time. I have not heard back from him. I guess he doesn't care about making the customer happy. On top of that, the chicken was ok but he pasta was bland as can be. Literally boiled pasta with no salt and thrown in a container with barley any sauce. I threw it out. Waste of money. How could they feel good about selling tasteless, bland, food?? Also, I think they have no idea what garlic bread looks like because they are awful at making it!!! I also put up a picture of what garlic bread is supposed to look like. Definitely not wet and tough to chew. It's toasted people!!! read more

See all

Convenient healthy casual Concord location of local Italian food chain with quality and reasonable prices consistent with other Comella's. Nice loft style dining area. A welcome addition to downtown Concord. read more

Although the $5 cheese pizza was recently bumped up to $6 or $6.50, still a tasty deal in the days when chains like Dominoes are charging more than $10 for a medium. read more

We had a decent lunch here. My girls liked their spaghetti and meatballs. I was less thrilled with my chicken parm, and even less thrilled with the wait. I am not sure we would go again but it served its purpose for the afternoon. read more

Nothing really wrong with the pizza. It just wasn't my thing. Generic dough that was slightly undercooked, sauce was too sweet and overwhelming, and cheese was similar to something you might find in a hospital cafeteria. Breaded chicken was good though. read more

Where do I even begin... They were rude and dismissive, telling us that we had to get our meals to go because they were closing in 20 minutes. Never been to a restaurant where they try to send you away like that. I was going to get the squash ravioli, and I asked if there was nuts in it (I have an allergy) because, you know, just in case. Apparently there were, and then the cashier asked the kitchen about the other ravioli and apparently they ALL had nuts in them. When does ravioli ever have nuts in it? That is a disaster waiting to happen for anyone with a nut allergy. But I haven't gotten to the worst of it yet. We decided instead to order salads, I got a caprese and my mom got a Cobb salad. They really weren't great, just passable. Later that night though, both of us were throwing up and felt horrible. Pretty sure we got food poisoning from there, it lasted for days and we had fevers too, could barely even drink water. I'm not joking, this actually happened. Save yourself the trouble and do NOT come here. read more

Not great pizza and not great service at this location. I have never stopped at a Comella's before and if this location represents the service and quality of food at other Comella's, I would never stop again. We ordered a Margarita pizza that came out undercooked and soggy. The two people working the counter didn't really seem to care about the quality of the food or their service. Overall it was a disappointing experience and one I will not repeat. read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch last Friday having never been here before. We both ordered salad wraps and were told they had no tomatoes because the delivery was late. We both said we'd take the salad wraps anyway. I had the greek salad wrap and he had the buffalo chicken wrap. Both were tasty. Fast forward 16 hours and I am throwing up and feeling awful. Two hours later my husband is doing the same. We have never been so sick. Even today, 5 days later I am not feeling 100%. We immediately figured out that the salad wraps were the likely cause of our food poisoning. This was confirmed after reading another review mentioning food poisoning in the same timeframe. It's really too bad because we enjoyed our experience until getting sick, but definitely can't recommend Comella's after getting food poisoning. read more

Its a nicely priced restaurant in a tourist town. Its easy to grab a quick bite here and the food was actually quite good. The single spaghetti could feed two and their pizza is tasty too. read more
