Comella's is a great casual Italian food spot. I love the meatball sub especially. It is chefs kiss. Sammy's Mess is also amazing. They used to have fettuccine alfredo which was great but it wasn't on the menu when I went recently. Although the seating is small and fits about 6-8 people tops, the ambiance is inviting and relaxing. The cashiers are always friendly and they deliver the food to your table after you order at the register. It's a great place to grab a bite before seeing a movie at West Newton Cinema next door!

Ordered takeout and the worker taking our order on the phone was very nice. We ordered a large cheese pizza, a meatball sub, and stuffed shells. It can be tricky parking around here depending on the time of day you go. We went around dinnertime and luckily there was a meter out front but sometimes the traffic is so congested that you don't have time to parallel park and have to keep looking elsewhere at random side streets or things like that. The inside is small but that makes it a cute intimate pizza parlor vibe. When we picked up the food no one was eating inside but it would be nice to eat there and people watch/there's so much to look at in West Newton through their floor to ceiling windows. The large cheese pizza was good! It wasn't exactly steaming hot when we got home but it wasn't cold either. The meatball sub was delicious! And the shells were great too.

This location is not yet open. The delays appear to be caused by building permit issues.I have been to other Comella's locations. Mostly the one in Chestnut Hill. I was saddened when the Chestnut Hill location closed a few years ago, as it was always a good place to grab some pasta or pizza for a quick dinner.When this Newtonville location opens I will definitely check them out. Parking will be tight there. The lot across the street belongs to the super market and they are known to tow the cars of people not shopping in the market.

What happened to this place? Prices have been jacked way up and service is poor/rude. Really disappointed.

Comella's is generally great for everything. The pizza is so frustrating. You can't order online as you need to talk to a human and tell them to please COOK THE PIZZA. So many times we have gotten a doughy crap of a pizza. And if you say "well done" it's likely to be burnt. Consistency of pizza is Comella's Achilles heel. It could be the best pizza around. Instead it's a total crap shot. Every damn time. The classic case of picking up a slice and all of the cheese sauce and toppings fall off because it isn't crisp or cooked in any way. Also, the once $5 pizza is now $20 delivered. If you want the most consistent amazing pizza in Boston, it's Pino's. Forget Comella's for pizza unless you like coin flips.

Comella's is really good. Nice Italian food. They pull off pasta well. Service is standard and it's a nice place.

Place is great!!! I'm from Long Island NY, it is a struggle to find an Italian spot with great pizza and a ton of other options. Unique dishes and pies too. Their Margherita is as good as one in NY.

Prices have become way too high. We won't be back. The signature dishes are the "mess" in "buckets", a hodgepodge of what appears to be leftovers dumped together. Our favorite is Aunt Izzy's with veggies and meat. Not attractive for guests, but the appeal was Italian taste and lots of food to feed our family and the kids' friends. With a half bucket that feeds 3 of us now over $50, you might as well take out higher quality pizza and entrees from better area Italian restaurants.

Worst, worst, worst experience of all time. Paid almost $100.00 for pizza and salads that were never delivered. This restaurant is run by very incompetent staff and I would really think twice about ordering anything from them. Called very early in the day to put in large pizza order for later that evening. Person on the phone said it was their first time processing orders and were not familiar with the system. Called back later that afternoon to confirm order with another more experienced person, was told order was all set. Pizza was never delivered. Called and spoke to manager, she said she would deliver it herself. Two hours later no pizza was ever delivered. No refund given. Not a professional way to run a business. Very disappointing.

Best pizza thin and yummy all styles we love it ! Family favorite great crew menu and the prices are reasonable
I've been to comellas in different places in Massachusetts but I have to say I walked into the West Newton location and was very disappointed. The guy working orders, he asked me right when I walked I'm what would you like, told him just give me a moment then I kid you not he asked me 2 more times under a minute. When I asked him the Size of the lasagna he was so rude, he said ots small about 4 inch by 4 inch. They r far from the same old place I once ate at. Their prices along with many other restaurants smaller portions double the price. I learned a valuable lesson stick to your regular places you like to eat at.

I'm so happy to see Comella's still thriving in these times. I love their food and usually get their eggplant parmigiana. Their red sauce is just wonderful and the sausages and meatballs as sides are incredible. Great Italian/American food, so says an Italian man from New Jersey!

I used to love their chicken parm sandwich. It was fresh chicken, would melt in your mouth...NOT ANYMORE..AWFUL..tasted like a frozen slab of chicken pattie that they nuked...from the West Newton location... I'll stick to their pizza which is very good!

Lord knows I am a patient man. I tried pizza 4 times it is never cooked Eve when ordered well done I like extra cheese. Tried that one time. If I didn't say extra I would have received no cheese at all Had the steak bomb today it reminded me of the old Wendy's commercial. Wheres the beef

The delivery is fast. We've ordered a few times now. I appreciate that it's fast. However. The food is really uneven. There was freezer burn on the calamari. The tiramisu was inedible. Why was the extra cheese in a container instead of in the food? Some of the dishes are pretty good - I like the mess - but I don't appreciate how inconsistent it is. I think they need to up their game.
