Bertucci's | Cambridge

Bertucci's | Cambridge

It's another special edition of the Pizza Blog. We were joined by Miro's dear college friends. Since they have picked up delightful spouses (who are willing to partake in our hi-jinx, yay!) and commenced the spawning process, for this edition, it was off to Bertucci's, where high chairs are in abundant supply. See if you an tell which parents wrote their reviews with the crayons they provided the kids.

Elizabeth's Comments: Pretty, but dry and no cheese

John's Comments: Artisanal in a Mall of America way.

Alicia's Comments: Looks kind of dry.

Bobby's Comments: Basic non-specialty pizza look.

John's Comments: Flat, nice sophisticated

Alicia's Comments: I love Bertucci's crust: thin & crispy

Bobby's Comments: As they say on the interwebs, doughy pizza is doughy.

Jocelyn's Comments: Fine, could be a little crispier

Miro's Comments: I'm sad they didn't give me a ball of dough to play with!

Elizabeth's Comments: Good and fresh, but too few ingredients even for a margherita

John's Comments: I got nothing against Bertucci's

Alicia's Comments: Not bad, but a little dry.
