    Grandma with pepperoni
    Jason C.

    The pizza is solid, good even, but two times I called in and asked for LIGHT CHEESE, EASY ON THE CHEESE and got an edge to edge cheese bomb. This is more cheese than the picture on the website, whyyyyyyyyyy! I should have looked in the box when I picked it up. Also this pizza was $27?

    Penne vodka with crispy chicken

    My favorite penne vodka around Very tasty. Kind service. Any time I'm craving penne vodka, I will continue coming here. They also decorate for holidays which is epic!

    Half and half grandma pie

    Amazing pizza!! Staff is super friendly, overall great service. Definitely going to be our regular pizza spot!

    Grandma vodka slice, vodka hot honey pepperoni slice, white slice, and square slice

    Old school Italian pizzeria known for their grandma vodka slice. All these were singular slices and we had the guy behind the counter split each into 2! Grandma vodka took the top spot with the vodka variation coming in second (the vodka sauce is unbeatable and with thin crust makes it feel nice and light). I'd say it's a tie for the white and square (worth mentioning that the crust for the square was like focaccia, super airy and doughy ). Great spot for a quick bite, feeling the NY Yankees love in the joint. Will be back!

    Sicilian Cheese Pizza
    Taj T.

    When first looking at the shop and the pizza itself, you'll think "Okay, typical New Jersey pizza joint". Then you'll bite into a slice and BAM. Very classic flavors and very classic texture, but done SO well. I just felt like everything from the saltiness of the sauce, the amount of cheese, the time the pizza was baked was just perfectly balanced. This might be sacrilegious, but in some ways I loved Carlo's pizza better than local gem Prima Pizza (now don't fight you two, I still love you both and I promise to split business with you evenly...I'll just be buying twice as much pizza every week so we all win, especially me ) The standout for me was the "Seafood Pizza", which came with calamari, shrimp, and scallops. You gotta love seafood obviously but this was such a unique offering and fit so well with the cheese and sauce that I was sad I only ordered a half and half. Then again, the "Eggplant Parm" was very good too. Carlo's might not win any awards for being a cutting edge pizza restaurant...but who cares? It's clearly got some roots in honest pizza tradition and tastes freaking great. With reliable taste and service, Carlo's has won my allegiance

Managed by the Becca family, this shop carries a legacy of Italian craftsmanship that has turned a local favorite into a viral destination. The "One Bite" Legend The shop gained massive national attention when Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports stopped by for one of his famous reviews. The visit was famously tense: the owner, Joe Becca, wasn't satisfied with the first "rushed" pie Dave tried and insisted he wait for a second, perfected version. The Barstool Rating: Portnoy officially scored the first pie a 7.7. The Controversy: After trying the second pie in his car, Portnoy admitted it was superior--praising the "tangy sauce" and "great undercarriage"--and unofficially gave it an 8.1. However, per his strict "One Bite" rules, the 7.7 remains the score on the record. Awards & Accolades Prima isn't just "internet famous"; it has the hardware to back it up. Pizza Bowl I Winner: They took home the trophy for Best Pizza in Central Jersey during the inaugural Pizza Bowl competition. NJ.com Honors: They are frequently cited in regional "Best of NJ" lists, specifically lauded for their Signature Pie, which features a secret marinara sauce and high-quality Grande cheese. A Legacy in the Making While the Becca family has been in the pizza business for over 35 years (with roots in the legendary "Joe's Pizza"), this specific Somerville location has been a staple of the downtown scene for years, helping anchor the borough's reputation as a foodie hub.

When I picked up my pie, we ate our first slices outside. The pizza was warm, and I wish it was scolding hot. This was phone order that we picked up in 25 minutes. So I don't know if this pie was one that was already made. The pie was well done. I like my pie with some white mozzarella cheese still on the pie. The pie was kinda orange when you look at the pictures I posted. Some of the crust and slice underneath was burnt. Plus when you look at the pie, it was not a perfect circle. One slice was out of place. As for the pizza slice, it was a bit on the salty side. The pizza base crust was a little on the heavy side. It was not thinner or on the lighter side. This reminded me of the way Vermont pizza is made, well done. The pizza was ok, and people's opinion is very subjective. What one person thinks is a 9.4 out of 10, could be an 8.4 by another. I couldn't test if the crust held up the cheese and sauce since I picked it up warm. From what I gathered with the underside crust, I would not flop since the crust was on the heavy side. Overall, I would try it out again and eat in so I get the great experience of the pizza pie coming right out of the oven!

Parking is in the back in the ShopRite lot, or you can try to park on the street. Somerville has become quite a foodie town, and street parking can be difficult to find. We had a party of five and were seated promptly at a round table, which was nice. We could all chat and see each other. Our server was friendly and professional and answered all our questions about the food. The meals were entree-sized instead of lunch-sized. Alfonso's doesn't allow lunch portions on Sundays. To start, we were given a family-style salad. It was mediocre at best. Boring. Mostly iceberg lettuce, no tomatoes, red onion on top, carrots, and cucumber. The complimentary bread was good, but it wasn't Italian. We were given another basket after we finished the first one. The butter was in those little plastic containers. Nothing fancy. Our entrees were: Dinner Giambotta (mild): Italian sausage, peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic, white balsamic parmesan sauce. Shrimp and Scallop Scampi Scallops & Shrimp Al Limone: Imported Roman artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, and green olives in a lemon butter white wine sauce. Cheese Tortellini Al Forno: Rose sauce, parmesan, fresh mozzarella. Eggplant Rollatini. My daughter had a Mediterranean Mule, which consisted of Figenza fig vodka, ginger beer, & lime juice. She enjoyed it! We all enjoyed our fairly large entrees, and most of us took some home. I would recommend Alfonso's. I've been here before and enjoyed it as well.

The service is quick too, I felt like our food came out quickly for the size of our group. One thing to note is that this restaurant is BYOB. The food - it was okay. The eggplant rolatini was fine, although I think the eggplant was sliced a little thick for the dish. The lobster ravioli sauce was good, but the ravioli itself was extremely thick (the pasta part). It felt like more ravioli than lobster. I was really excited about the tri color pizza, it sounds so yummy with all the sauces! I was disappointed to see that the stripes however are all of the 3 sauces you get. So I felt it really lacked in sauce. What I think should have been done, is thick stripes of the sauce, cheese on top, and then the stripes for the plating. My sister got the pesto pizza and the also complained that there was a lack of sauce. Overall, I think this restaurant is okay.
