I got a delivery Cuban sub from this place after being impressed with their TikToks. Wow, definitely a two-meal sub. The sub was spicy and juicy and salty and the bread soaked it up so well it's almost better that it sat in the car for delivery. Worth it! I will be back to get that cesar sub on garlic bread next time. read more

My cousin (from florida) sent me there viral on tiktok chopped caesar sub and instantly went for the drive to get it. The service was great, the cashier and the bald guy calling out the orders was so nice and sweet. However, the sub itself was a little underwhelming. The salad was definitely not made to order, it was brownish, wilted and soggy and there was barely any chicken. BUT i will say the flavors was everything and more but just wished I had gotten a sub worth the $15 price tag. *** my sad sub vs the sub advertised read more

The bread these guys use for their subs is HORRIBLE. The fillings were excellent but that bread ruined it for me. Could be a great sub if the bread was legit. read more

The worst pizza I've laid eyes on, and I say that with absolute certainty. This is supposed to be the Funghi Round. A $26 pizza. There is more sauce than cheese. It's undercooked and floppy, because of course it is. Just look at it. Actually incredible in its mediocrity. read more

Mortadella Head - The Funghi Round - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I ordered bolognese lasagna from the store for home delivery. There was no bolognese sauce. There was a couple of tablespoons of plain red sauce on the bottom and top, but in between were several layers of nothing but pasta and cheese. It was horrible and I threw the entire container away. read more

Great pizza. Roman style is crispy but not burnt which is tremendous. Subs are amazing and huge. I will be returning

Mortadella Head is the pizza/sub not that you deserve, but the one that you need in these trying times and reintegration into normal life. Serving up whatever sub you can imagine (this Yinzer from Pittsburgh went with the aptly named Yinzer sub that mimics the famous Primanti's sandwich) to go with a slew of different pizza styles and toppings... you could order a different item every day for over 6 months and still have (delicious) options for months! The Roman pizza (full) is HUGE. It seems pricey, yes... but the amount of food you get for the price is something your small, human brain cannot comprehend. It comes in TWO full boxes, and we aren't talking those small, artisanal, "craft" pizza boxes, these boxes rival those of the old school joints where small children can't wrap their pre-adolescent arms around them. But, quantity isn't everything... and there is plenty of quality to go with the quantity. The dough, sauce, meats, rolls, and everything else they put on their subs and pizzas is nothing but the highest quality and you can taste it in each bite. That will lead to slightly higher prices, but I myself am willing to pay that price in order to have a superior experience and meal. I found the value ratio (what I got for price paid) to be commensurate with what I expected based on reviews and recommendations, if not greater. That being said, this isn't your ordinary dive deli+pizza+sub shop. These are meat and dough artists, and their skills are such that you should seek out their craftsmanship... for the offer delicious journeys through forgotten times and lands... at least for me, for it has been a while since I've had that ONE local pizza/sub shop I trusted. read more

Failed to deliver GrubHub order. Waited TWO HOURS before our order was cancelled without warning or reason. TOTAL FAIL

The woman who served us was so friendly and attentive. The food was great as always and we'll be back soon!

Dude there was awesome good service and got a free slice ontop of my order great food and overall vibe.

First time customers after seeing their TikTok video. Pizza was out of this world (try the Quattro!) Mozzarella sticks were crunchy and huge! Marinara sauce was fresh. The Cosa Nostra sub was delish, and we got two Italian subs to go for dinner. Staff was welcoming and friendly, and the music was a vibe while we waited for our order. Be patient, it's worth it! Will definitely return. read more

Where has Mortadella Head been my whole life?? (And by whole life I mean just the past 2.5 years I've been living in Boston) After seeing so many incredible videos and pictures of their food on social media, I had pretty high expectations and I would say that those expectations were exceeded. The inside is quaint and limited seating, most people just come in for take out or to grab a slice of pizza. This could be controversial but Mortadella might have some of the best pizza in the Boston/Boston subs area. I'm all about good dough and their Roman style dough is incredible! I tried their pig pen pizza which has bbq pulled pork, bacon, onions, pickles, and fried onion rings. So good. We also got their infamous mozzarella sticks which would perfect. And their Poor Ragazzo sub which had fried calamari, butter, garlic, grated romano, banana peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and Calabrian chili mayo. This sub was seriously chefs kiss. I cannot wait to go back to try more items from their fabulous menu! read more

Mortadella Head never disappoints! I live very close by and never think twice about grabbing a meal here. The food is always fresh and the service is quick and pleasant. read more

I was veryyyyy excited to order from Mortadella head this Memorial Day! My partner was on her way home after a week long work trip to the vineyard so the occasion called for GOOD FOOD! Unfortunately I was disappointed when our order arrived. The shredder pizza which is all the buzz on social media - was drenched in honey - with barely enough cheese and a small amount of pepperonis scattered about. Definitely not enough to balance the flavor of the entire bottle of honey that was dumped on it. I am a PIZZA LOVER and a huge fan of salty, sweet spicy so this was disappointing. I now have a huge pizza that I have to eat but it's not quite enjoyable unless I add more cheese and pepperonis which I will because I paid for it so it won't go to waste. Wow.... TikTok's are on point but clearly the food quality isn't. read more

FOOD 3.75/5 The buffalo chicken had great flavoring. The pizza is thick and filling. However it's a little on the dry end (and you may like that if you don't like oily pizza). I couldn't really eat the crust by itself because it was dry. The eggplant flavoring is alright. I like how their pizza has a crusty bottom layer. SERVICE 5/5 It's about what you'd expect at a pay-first restaurant. AMBIANCE 4.5/5 Not a lot of indoor sitting but the decor was creative. Look up and you'll see the constellations. Look to the walls and you'll see art everywhere. PRICE 5/5 Two thick pizzas slices came out to about $13 with tip. Great price for two meals! read more

Ordered three 18" pizzas via DOORDASH last night for a party. As you can see they were only 14". Also their take on Poutine is called Disco Fries. We thought these would make our tastebuds dance... but we were sadly disappointed. No flavor, limp fries, hardly any gravy or cheese. This was our first time ordering here... and probably our last. They did not live up to the hype. :/ read more

Roman pizza is awesome. Thanks Ryan for steering us to some great slices. Italian sub also great

Absolutely incredible big slices. I think they're called Grandma style but the interior is wonderful. The service is fast and the pizza is some of the best in Somerville. Highly recommend it definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more

I ordered for pickup through Toast. The menu is awesome and everything was delicious. I got the Caesar salad sub, The Mortadella Head, and Chef's Choice of Roman pizza. Thickkkk crust. Sauce is so good I might have to buy a jar next time. read more

We have been to Mortadella Head three times. The first time we walked in and ordered two sandwiches. We proceeded to wait over and hour for our food, all while other customers came in and placed ordered which were filled before ours. The second time we ordered ahead online (again two sandwiches). We arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes After we were told our food would be ready. We proceeded to wait over 45 minutes for our food. The third time we went to Mortadella Head we ordered delivery and got food poisoning from the Club Caesar Sandwich. read more

Not happy. Ordered two pizzas and a Mozzarella stick. Never got Mozzarella stick that I clearly stated on phone, when I got there they said it wasn't on order and no acknowledgment from the person taking the phone orders that she may have forgotten. Also asked for Ranch on my pizza and it is on the slip but clearly was forgotten. read more

The Chop Caesar sandwich is to die for! So much flavor with crunchy chicken and croutons along with garlic bread. You can't beat it!

Food is good. The Sicilian pizza is good but they need to freeze the pan it's cooked in perhaps because after being left out in the case it's stone hard. I had the chicken Parm was good until the very end I almost chipped a tooth because the breading was rock hard too. My biggest complaint though is the music. It just doesn't fit the food. They blast edm techno music. It's enough to cause a migraine. read more

Pizza is great, basic cheese is a crowd pleaser but especially like the specialty Roman pies. Also, good management/service. Ordered a bunch of pies for a party and something got messed up when I went to pick them up, manager drove part of the order to my house when I was in a time crunch. And as I said, crowd was pleased with the pizza. Recommend for a pop in slice or party. read more

Mortadella is right around the corner from us, and it's a place we usually stop by on our way home when we are starving and need a tasty pizza fix for on the go. The slices are huge (Roman style) - one slice is hefty (thick crust), and the flavor offerings always have unique variety. Each time I am in here I always want to grab a jar of their sauce to take home, and someday, I will. read more

Post-practice pizza is a ritual for our youth soccer team. Mortadella Head always comes through. The kids and parents love it - even this former Elm City resident! Keep up the great work! read more

good. Pizza was good. Ordered eat in but got surprised with 2 takeout boxes and a bag at our table. We went home to eat bc of that and it satisfies our hunger. Was super excited for the fried dough but sorta let down as it didn't taste fried at all... it was just kinda bread with chocolate and stale Oreos. read more

Food is delish. Thumbs up. Pizza slice is a meal in itself. Bolognese sauce is a hit with family.

Update- sit down was a little drafty, but they had super friendly and attentive service. Tried the calamari- great breading, and a lemony parmesan topping, peppers, and tasty dipping sauce. Had a great salad! The Monte Carlo. Grilled chicken (delicious!), gorgonzola, dried fig, balsamic, fresh greens, and vinaigrette. Freaking yum, loved the chicken and figs especially. read more

Imagine my surprise when I went out of my way to go to buy food from a place I've seen on social media that looks so great in the photos & video I've seen and we end up having a terrible experience. My husband & I both ordered chicken parm & mine also had eggplant in it. The videos & photos I've seen on their socials look delicious & SO cheesy (which I love) We got our subs to eat in there and i immediately noticed that my sub roll was half frozen(and my husband's roll was very cold) & there was hardly any cheese on both of the subs. I let the woman who worked there know and she took it back to fix it with a bit of an attitude & no apology. I also asked for an additional piece of cheese & she said I would have to pay for the cheese. I was totally surprised & told her to forget it. Besides those things the cutlet was a bit rubbery & lacked seasoning. The funny thing is that we stopped there because I wanted to support a small business that looked great online but was completely disappointed in the food & experience especially when the 2 subs, 2 waters, and a $4 tip cost $42. Thumbs all the way down Food: 1 | Service: 1 | Atmosphere: read more

My wife and I ordered the chicken parmigiana and she had the eggplant chicken parmigiana and French fries. We got the subs and bread was frozen and there was no cheese on them. My wife sent it back for it to be heated and asked for cheese. The waitress came out and said she needed to pay for the cheese to be put on. We said forget it. Chicken was rubbery. I asked if they saw the video of the owner making this exact sub? She said she doesn't watch that stuff! I said you should because this doesn't have cheese. $42 meal - 2 subs, French fries and two waters. French fries were good. Waitress had an attitude when we told her about the issues. These subs were supposed to come with cheese! Respectfully this was not the owner making the food. We tried to support a local business and won't go back. read more

my wife and I went in to try the subs since we saw them all over social media. Ryan was behind the counter and took our order. He was super helpful and made some suggestions. I ordered the Parm Supreme (his favorite) and my wife got the Chopped Caesar. both subs were A+. Ryan even threw in a sampler of the Roman pizza since it was our first time. we came for the subs but would definitely go back for more of the Roman pizza. unreal experience - 5 stars. wished we lived closer read more

Overrated...avoid this place at all costs unless you love social media, you're a college student nearby or have little or no taste. Rude staff, pizza is mediocre for Boston and everything was 15 minutes late. Two minutes means 15 so be ready. read more

Visited the new Wellesley location today and could not have had a better experience! We ordered two subs to go and while we waited the guy behind the counter (manager?) told us all about the fresh, homemade ingredients they use in all of their dishes. We were then surprised with two pieces of pizza on the house! Everything was delicious! read more

Excellent Roman Pizza ! Ordered half roman cheese and half Mushroom. Chopped Caesar subs are out of this world! Highest recommendations . read more

Terrible customer service the worst!! The food is good but not worth to wait without even anyone telling you that your food was going to be ready in an hour. read more

My wife and I came for the chopped Caesar salad that she saw on TiKTok. We drove from RI for this sub. I had the Italian and we shared the mozzarella sticks. The food was delicious! The subs are huge, so sharing can be an option. The mozzarella sticks are also huge and homemade. You can tell they aren't the frozen kind. The staff was very friendly. We will be back to try the pizza. read more
