Mortadella Head Wellesley offers a refreshing take on suburban pizza and sandwiches from its spot on Washington Street. Known primarily for its specialty pizzas, this pizza restaurant brings bold flavors and generous portions that stand out in the Wellesley area, a place not typically known for standout pizzerias.
The menu is anchored by inventive specialty pizzas like The Pig Pen, featuring pulled pork, bacon, and bbq sauce, as well as the Pesto Chicken Pie, which layers garlic cream sauce, fresh tomato, and basil pesto atop a crisp crust. Patrons appreciate the option between round and Roman-style pizzas, catering to different crust preferences—though some find the round crust a bit thick. Each pizza arrives oversized and rich with toppings, making them hearty enough to share.
Beyond pizza, Mortadella Head shines with its large, fresh sandwiches such as the Italian with prosciutto and the Baller sub filled with homemade meatballs that bring a genuine, homemade touch. Their mozzarella sticks offer a unique spin, coming in larger, log-like sizes, which suits those with a hearty appetite, though some may find the breading thick.
Customer experience is enhanced by the friendly and attentive staff, highlighted by commendations for individuals like Ashlin at the counter. While the restaurant is mainly takeout-focused with limited dining space, customers suggest that adding salads to the menu and enlarging the seating area would enrich the experience and encourage more frequent visits.
The setting suits locals and families looking for quality, casual dining or a reliable takeout option. It is a convenient destination for those who want fully loaded specialty pizzas and substantial sandwiches without venturing to the more crowded culinary hubs. Though the space is small and the doorway design causes some frustration when managing large orders, the overall impression remains strongly positive. Mortadella Head Wellesley impresses with its flavor profiles, portion sizes, and approachable service, positioning itself as a growing favorite in the suburban pizza scene.
