The pizza is excellent. The sauce is homemade and they sell it by the jar. One of the best. We've had the wings, boneless and bone in, fries, veggie wrap and Greek chicken wrap. The meatballs are so well made too. They even sell wine if you want to buy a bottle and bring it home. Friendly atmosphere and they send discounts to your email often if you sign up. Plenty of parking too. I recommend this place. read more

I will preface that we've been frequenting Comellas for over 20 years, it pains me greatly to see their decline. Don't know what happened to the messes, they are terrible now. I had my husband order a nephew's mess last night (it's eggplant and sausage) and got instead a dried out chicken parm with a filler of sauce. Made him go back and get the right order the next day and they did do it right BUT, like the last order, the tomato sauce tastes burnt. Instead of being a fresher tomato sauce, it's like they overcooked it for hours or are just turning it over day over day to save money. Will never go back. It's really sad to see a long time institution go downhill. read more

save your money, not worth the trip! Chicken parm sub my four year old could've eaten this sandwich no problem, not worth twelve dollars!

Sadly not what it used to be. I ordered delivery, and it took over an hour and a half for the restaurant to "finish" the order (or at least to notify that it was ready for pick up). The food was under-seasoned, cold, and mushy, it wasn't even worth finishing the meal. Not worth the money or a trip in person. Calamari - $20 for a small portion, chewy meat, and it didn't come with marinara sauce as described Chicken parm sandwich - flavorless and so bready. We tried salting it which helped a bit, but not something we should have to do Aunt Issy's mess - over cooked and mushy, but still probably the best thing we ordered read more

Good lord this place has gone downhill. The food was never great, but now it's terrible. To make matters worse, they often get the order wrong. Last experience was so bad (poor quality, missing items) we're completely done with the place despite practically living next door to them. Eat like our family? I feel bad for their family. read more

My time at this Italian restaurant was a mixed bag. The ambiance is like a warehouse feel, but the service was attentive. However, the flavors of the dishes were somewhat inconsistent--some were delightful, while others fell short of the mark. The menu had a decent variety, but a few dishes lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. With a bit more focus on maintaining consistency in flavors, this place could become a more reliable choice for Italian cuisine enthusiasts. Just a small example is the inconsistency in a simple cheese pizza, it was great at one time and just average on the other 3 trys. read more

A few years ago, there used to be a Comellas in Bedford, Ma. Their food was amazing, so good that you would crave pasta just because of their dishes. They closed that location down which made me so sad because I wasnt aware it was a chain. Fast forward to now, I found one in Belmont and was so elated. So I place an order: Honey BBQ: The wings are nice and big. They add a great amount of sauce which tastes ok. I believe there were 8 pieces. -It was worth the 13$ Chicken Parm: The pasta was meh, and the sauce didnt have much flavor. The chicken was ok, a bit dry. The consistency was a lil tough. I was so disappointed and unhappy. Chicken Brocolli Alfredo: The alfredo was a bit dry on the pasta and not really flavorfull, it tasted bland. Spinich ravioli: No real flavor to it, real bland Paying $60 for the food was a little hurtful already, paying it for food that no one ate is worse. We even switched dishes just incase we just didnt like what we had. I miss the great pasta I used to eat. I guess every dog has its day. read more

Italian "sandwich" is complete trash.. literally threw it away after 2 bites. No hots, pickles, cherry peppers, oil or vinegar.. and the deli meats are school lunch quality. Also who puts an Italian "sub" on a tiny piece of ciabatta instead of an actual sub roll? For like $15 dollars??? Have they never seen an actual Italian sub? I can get a huge Italian sub covered in prosciutto and capocollo (neither of which were on my sandwich) for $13 max at a real deli as apposed to this overpriced bologna sandwich. Shouldn't have the audacity to even call this an Italian spot.. It's a hang out for teenagers to get overpriced pizza after school. Oh and the cashier forgot about my order so I had to sit and wait for 30 minutes for an order that should have taken all of 3-5 minutes. In summary, you couldn't pay me to come back here again and grazie dio we have actual Italian spots in Boston! read more

One of the WORST meals I have ever had!!!!! No service and terrible food. We go out to dinner every week and will certainly never return to this restaurant. Very large servings...... what a waste!!! read more

This is among some of the best pizza around, in my opinion. It has good crisp, and a nice sauce -to-cheese ratio. Generally I do takeout, and the pizza holds up well between the time of pickup and eating, and leftovers warm up nicely in the oven the next day. I'd like to see more "deals" as the menu prices have risen (certainly this is not the only place!). read more

If you have not tried Comella's Sicilian pan pizza, I would highly recommend you do. It is delicious and easy to serve to a large group. It's a rectangle, so pieces can be cut for smaller serving size. Also sending a Big Thank you to Comella's for supporting the BHS All night Party! Your generosity and support of this event was very much appreciated. Thank you!!! read more

I've been here numerous tines with fairly good experiences. What I don't understand is how a cook allows a raw pizza to leave the kitchen. Raw veggies on undercooked pizza dough and cheese. If I wanted to make my own pizza at home I would have done that. I'm doing my best to support small businesses during the pandemic. How should I justify supporting businesses that don't care?? So disappointed with you, Comella's Belmont!! read more

Comella's Restaurant - Disgusting undercooked pizza. - Italian Near Me - Belmont, Massachusetts

Ordered pizza here online yesterday for the first (and hopefully last) time. Pizza is mediocre, obviously the dough is fresh like a frozen cod. The quality of their pizza is equivalent to Domino's, and that should be enough for you to start running away from their door. The only difference is that Dominos would cost you 2x less...lol The service is on par with food. Slightly embarrassing. Note for management: please train those girls at the register... read more

I've been twice. Both times, the order taker just talks and talks to her coworker while I stand waiting to order. No interest that a customer is there. Totally ignores me. First time, I got the wrong order but I was back at work. Today, I said sub. I got a dried up whole wheat bread that was so dry it cut my mouth. Again discovered it back at work. Never again. They're so lazy & wreckless, They don't deserve your money. read more

I have been going to Comella's since my middle school days and every time I go, I think about all those after-school pizza I had with my friends. Going to Comella's is a tradition I have with my mom whenever I'm in town; however, we usually get the same thing every time so here they are. Kale Caesar: this salad is made of baby kale rather than shredded kale so it is pretty tender. Other than that, there is nothing really different or special about this salad. This salad doesn't have chicken and I don't think it's worth 7 dollars. However, this salad goes well with the other menu items!! Cute Kate's: this pizza is a shrimp scampi pizza and it is DELICIOUS! The shrimp is meaty, it's full of garlic aroma, and the cheese pull is amazing. Putting some red pepper flakes will elevate this pizza. However, it is very oily so I always dab some napkins/papertowels to get rid of some oil. Aunt Issy's Mess: I have tried few of their messes and it's great. It is definitely not the most pretty looking pasta, but I like the different pasta types that are in it. My favorite mess is Aunt Issy's, which has vegetables, meatballs, and sausage. I like that Comella's tomato sauce is very savory and their meatballs are great. It is a good comfort food! 5 Stars for all the memories at Comella's, friendly service, and great pizza! read more

Update: This pizza joint has fallen TREMENDOUSLY, a cheese pizza used to cost 9.60 total, and now it's around $16. I used to be able to come here and have a meal with a couple friends for less than $10 and now that is no longer an option. Also the owner has changed after moving location, the pizza is way too oily now and it just isn't the same anymore. The new owners just don't know pizza. read more

Was our go to place for pizza in Belmont. No longer. Our last pizza had a more than one inch long and sharp metal wire baked into the crust. See photo, which shows the wire sticking out, and one can see that it extends through the entire piece of crust. read more

Got a chicken bacon ranch pizza. Wasn't really a fan . Was my first time seeing pizza sauce as the base in a chicken bacon ranch pizza . I wouldn't order it again. I got the pizza to go and the service wasn't very good either . They sighed as I came in to pick up a pizza. The people at the counter said three words to me and I left. I would give the food another shot if I ever came back. read more

Affordable and delicious pizza and pasta dishes. They can handle large orders too! Great for parties or just pizza night.

Surprisingly good! Their "messes" are a mix of pasta, sauce, cheese and whatever else they feel like throwing in the mix. Lots of food for single servings and the mozzarella sticks are served with hot, homemade marinara sauce. Seriously tasty Italian food. read more

Love Comella's. Usually get the chicken cutlet (not chicken parm) on a braided roll... Great service as well!

A very long time ago, my mom worked in a pizzeria. She saw how pizzas were being made, a fistful of dough, a ladle of sauce, and topped with another fistful of cheese. Ever since then she always had trouble ordering pizza. It's not about the $10 the pizza costs, but is about the fact that she is paying $10 for something worth a quarter of that. It sucks though, because she loves pizza more than me, a college student... As such, when my family decided to visit me at university, my mom asked for pizza. I decided to order from Comella's as that's where some of my friends got their pizzas for events, and I knew it was quite good. I think the toppings I requested were mushrooms, peppers, onions, and olives, although at this point I don't quite remember. I do remember the experience, however... but first, if my mother was impressed with the pizza, you know it's good! The pizza we got was no frills, there was nothing really special about it, other than the fact that everything was executed in this simple, no frills way that makes me proclaim "Yay! I'm a fan" The crust, and especially the cornicione (the part that is held) was thin, crispy, and sturdy. This is awesome at it gave a wonderfully pleasant crunch to the pizza, and made the sauce, cheese, and toppings stand out more instead of being overwhelmed by bread. The cheese and sauce were pretty well balanced, not only in relation this each other, but also in relation to the crust. Toppings were great! there was a generous quantity of them (but not an overload) and they were fresh and well cooked. The reason I didn't give five stars, is while this pizza is awesome, it is not the best one I have ever had, but it's up there, just not "as good as it gets" Prices are reasonable, speed is good, and service is nice, verifying in front of you that the pizza is exactly what you ordered. read more

I ordered a gluten free pizza. The website promised a 16 inch pizza and usually you get 12 inches so I went with the 16 inch pizza. But the pizza they handed me was 12 inches. Then they have this detailed website where you can specify all kinds of details about the food. The put the toppings on the wrong sides - and I checked the order I placed, they definitely did it wrong. I ordered extra cheese and there was barely any cheese. And this thing was extremely expensive. Every possible thing that could be not ok was not ok. I didnt call them; maybe i should have complained directly but what are they going to do, offer me more terrible food? I was generally under impressed with their food before and now Im convinced to never return. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Well it's now officially a tradition. When we're in Arlington, we get a "family mess" from Comella's with our own family. The family mess contains an assortment of pasta (whatever is on hand, it seems) a hearty tomato sauce and cheese. Our choice, the Nephew's Mess, adds fried eggplant and sausage or meatballs. It truly is a mess, but it's delicious. The "half bucket" claims to feed 3-4 people. I have no idea who these "people," but they are not us. I would say it feeds at least six people. Makes for great leftovers, too. read more

$5 cheese pizzas and $7 lunch combos? Worth a look-see, I reckon. A broad menu of red sauce Italian stuff, you can imagine the sample dishes: Meatballs! Sawseej! Baked ziti! Take 'em all, stir in some cheese, eggplant and sauce and call it a mess! Seriously though, there's a plate called the Mess. Got it. Monday through Friday, you can score a half sandwich (Chkn parm, Egg parm, Mozzarella, Sausage, Meatball), a side (Caesar or house salad, cup of soup) and a can of soda for $7. Helluva deal! Offered a number for the combo counter/table service and off we went... to wait. And wait. And. . Wait. Twenty minutes for what should be a precooked, ready-to-assemble lunch was a bit excessive (sandwiches aren't toasted, soup is steam bath warm). The end result was under-seasoned, somewhat single note and, for all intents and purposes, just plain average. For a quick bite (let's hope) at fast food prices, Comella's is somewhat of universally agreed upon option. And the $5 cheese pizza is legit, although I can't speak to the quality. Just don't expect a blown mind or a dancing tongue. read more

Sometimes a cheap, red-sauce place just hits the spot, and Comella's is just that. The pizzas are cheap ($5 for a cheese, toppings are on the pricy side ranging from $2-$6), and you can get beer/wine which is all that the husband asks for. It does get kind of chaotic (or "family friendly" depending on your stage in life) here for early dinner, but after 7:30pm it is nice and quiet. The staffing can be kind of hit or miss.. some people really don't seem happy to be there, but whatever, it's a decent spot for some fresh cheap pizza right out of the oven. read more

Comella's Restaurant - Pepperoni ($3) and mushroom ($2) pizza for a total of $10. - Italian Near Me - Belmont, Massachusetts

Please Note!! The Yelp listing indicates that this restaurant delivers--that is NOT THE CASE. They deliver for catering orders (i.e., orders over $150, for a delivery fee) but they do NOT deliver normal orders. If you are looking for a meal to be delivered, this restaurant will come up in the search results here on Yelp. Don't be fooled by this. It is a good restaurant IF you can get there in person, but don't expect that you're going to order your lunch from here and have it delivered. read more

Kids could not agree on a place to eat, so the executive decision came down to mom (again). Since we were in Belmont Center, I thought we could give this place a try. It is Italian with a major emphasis on pizza. I gotta say - $5 cheese pizza can not be beat. I think it says a lot about a place when they can do simple right and the cheese pizza is as simple as you can get and good. I got the mozzarella/tomato sandwich - again a simple idea that was done right and tasty with balsamic vinegar and olive oil (and fresh basil). We also gave the mozzarella sticks a try for the picky eater in the family and they were lightly bread, not overdone and yummy. A good family place. read more

Someone brought back one of those infamous $5.00 Pizzas yesterday... What can I say?? for $5.00, how can you beat that???? they brought it back and it was still piping hot, the cheese gooey and melty....probably a bit more oily than I wanted, but the a few swipes with a napkin and the surface oil was gone... the crust was crispy and chewy.... Pretty darn good for $5.00..... read more

The Sicilian pizza had a weird taste. The appetizers are pretty good but there is not a lot of cheese in the mozzarella sticks. Have had better read more

They used to have $6 pizzas and the cannoli's are yummy. They should still have $6 pizzas!!. Great location with subpar food.

Simple but solid Italian takeout spot. My husband and I have tried the pizza and some of the subs including the eggplant Parm and the Italian sub. Everything was good. I wish the marinara sauce on the eggplant parm was a little more flavorful but I'd recommend this place if you're craving simple quick and easy Italian comfort food. read more

These people are making it easy to try to be safe during the pandemic. They offer online ordering and payments and curbside pickup. The food is delicious as always. The people that work there are warm, friendly, and wear masks. Everything is priced reasonably. Thank you Comella's for helping keep our family fed! read more

Good food, reasonable prices. Everyone is very friendly - great place for families. Beer on tap which doesn't hurt. Spinach ravioli is good and I was pleasantly surprised by the cannoli. Kids love it read more

Excellent service! My chicken parmigiana was a bit dry, but the service was so good. The waitress was very attentive and the atmosphere was quite jolly! The choices of beer and wine is limited but, with the exception of stout, the list should satisfy all the other categories. I thoroughly enjoyed my quick lunch, and would definitely one back again. read more

FINALLY! Comella's in Belmont has opened. This is the finest, friendliest, freshest Italian around. I no longer have to drive to the other locations, it is HERE! Meatball sub, a MUST. $5 four meatballs with fresh sauce and cheese. 16" Pizza, a MUST. $5 all fresh crust, all fresh sauce and cheese. The signature dish "The Mess" , all fresh ingredients, generous portions, and just amazing flavor all around. It doesn't get better. Try it once and you are hooked. Period. read more

So, the pizza is pretty tasty and only $5. That's why they get three stars. However, I live less than 60 seconds from the restaurant, and when I call 10-15 min before closing and they have already turned off the oven in the kitchen and refuse to serve me. That's not okay. I get that it's annoying when people come in/order at the last minute (I don't do it often). I get that the waitstaff and kitchen WANT to close. But guess what: You're supposed to keep the kitchen open until it's not open anymore. There were many times, as a server, I hoped to get out right at closing when someone came in at the last minute and I had to pony up and do my job. I tend to side with servers on issues, but when it comes to this kind of thing- no. Not okay. That's why they don't get more than three stars. UPDATE: I've never encountered this closing early issue again, so it may have been a one off, & I overreacted. The food remains tasty, especially for the price, the staff every other time has been friendly & helpful, so bumped it up a star. read more

I decided to listen to my HS track team as their coach and order food from here for our end-of-season banquet. I went ahead and PRE-ORDERED 10 pizzas and a LARGE double lasagna. I stated the order would be picked up at 5:15. I got there and the friendly teenager rang up my order of over $150 (which is a great deal actually). Then we got the pizzas only to realize that the lasagna was stated to be done for 6:15 NOT 5:15. I ordered these items all together so i have no idea why it even got split up. The admitted fault but that didn't help that I had 30 high school students waiting for me and I had to stand and wait for the rest of the order. 20 min later they gave me the lasagna and an apology. I understand these things happen but they didn't even offer to take some $$ off or give me a complimentary salad or bread or something. I even made sure to tell them it was for a high school team. I took the lasagna out to my car...in a tin container AND a box and once I got to the high school I found that the lasagna grease had LEAKED all over my upholstery due to poor packaging. I know that I shouldn't have put it on my seat, but I was now 20 min late AND it was raining. I get that it's partially my fault but honestly the lid wasn't completely on and sinched and the lasagna wasn't distributed evenly between the 2 pans (1 had 12 pieces and 1 had 4). I'm extremely disappointed and don't plan on EVER going back. No more large orders. a simple monetary compensation or some free sides/bread would have gone a long way. read more
