This is my absolute favorite pizza in Boston! Their pizza doe is awesome, the flavors are great - even my very picky Italian family loves it haha. The service is great too, everyone is super nice! If you’re looking for a true pizza, don’t think twice!

Got takeout from here and was absolutely blown away by the food quality. Definitely on the pricier side but both the mushroom pizza and Bolognese pasta were rich and flavorful. The pizza had a custom cheese blend on it that was soft and not too salty and the texture of the pasta was cooked exactly al dente. I would definitely order from here again if I'm feeling like something a little fancy!

Got two pizzas to go. Good selection and easy to customize. Very tasty crust and great option for local pizza.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Ciao Pizza in Chelsea since 2016 and was excited when the Somerville location opened. Since its first day, I’ve visited many times. While the pizza here is very good compared to most Neapolitan-style spots in the area, I’ve consistently noticed differences when comparing it to the Chelsea location.
The main issue has been balance in flavor. At Somerville, the saltiness—especially in the Funghi and Salsiccia—often runs much higher than in Chelsea. On several occasions, it’s been so salty that I couldn’t finish the pizza. Because of this, I still find myself making the 20-minute drive to Chelsea, even though Somerville is only five minutes from me.
The dough at Somerville can also be somewhat inconsistent—sometimes coming out denser and harder in texture, rather than the light, airy, and fluffy quality I regularly enjoy at Chelsea.
That said, Ciao Somerville is still far above many other Neapolitan pizza options in the area. My feedback comes from a place of hoping it can reach the same level of excellence as Chelsea so that more people nearby can experience the same quality that made me a fan in the first place.

I’ve gotten takeout here before and it was great, but last night I ordered the burrata pizza for takeout and it was a let down. The pizza was soggy and inedible. While I was carrying the box, cheese water spilled all over me. Pizza wasn’t even cut so I had to do it myself. Prosciutto pizza was great.

Best addition to the neighborhood. I order the margarita w/ light mozzarella, extra sauce, cooked well with ricotta and basil added after🤌 Great service. Best pizza in Somerville/Chelsea
Great addition to Somerville! We stopped in and had a glass of wine at the counter while we waited for our pizzas to go. I love woodfired pizza and these did not disappoint. We had the Prosciutto di Parma and the Pollo both absolutely delicious. Very inviting atmosphere with fast and friendly service.

Vibe is good.
Pizzas are good quality.
Staff was friendly.
Tiramisu was really good although it was pricey I think.
You have to go through entire kitchen to get to the restroom but that’s how it is in their sister place as well.
