Comella's Restaurants West Newton 1302 Washington Street, Newton, MA 02465

"This used to be a solid place to get a pretty good pizza and a great value. Over the last year or more it’s become a dirty, unreliable place with service that does not exactly inspire confidence. It’s amazing that the people who work there allow some of the food out of the building in the condition that it’s in. What’s sad is ownership doesn’t seem to be doing anything to improve the situation. Clearly, the reviews have spoken and they seem to not be making changes to turn this place around. I was hoping with the new location they would have a brand new store to work from, and hire different staff but that’s been delayed. I hate to say it, but we avoid this place now which is too bad because it didn’t used to be that way."

"For almost $50/tray of 1/2 buckets, 75% of each tray was plain pasta, not even tossed in sauce. None of the 3 trays I purchased had nearly enough sauce. Veal was overcooked and tough. Honestly, pasta and jar sauce from the supermarket would've been better. Definitely not worth the almost $200 for $40 of ingredients, and poor execution."

"Just got a delivery of a personal pizza to go and it is got to be the worst pizza I have ever seen and cannot believe that they did not check this and let it go this way"

"what happened to this place? This was the worst pizza I’ve had in long time. tasted like undercooked dough with tomatoe puree right out of the can, no flavor, under cooked onions and broccoli! a mess, tossed it in the trash. But at least they got the order right this time. Not the case the last three times. This used to be a great place! Not any more.."

"So I'm no stranger to Italian cuisine. I come from a large Sicilian family. So when I proposed we try Comella's to my group of friends I really looked foolish when I came away with nothing but regrets and empty wallets. Let me break the entire meal down for you. I ordered stuffed shells. When I ordered stuffed shells I couldn't hear the woman over the phone correctly and it had turned she asked if I had wanted ziti with it. I said sure because I had no idea you put ziti with stuffed shells because that's already a pasta. What I received for 9.50 was two stuffed shells of normal size and about 75% of the container was ziti. That is technically stuffed shells as there were 2. The taste was middling and inoffensive. My fiance ordered fettuccine Alfredo which seemed to be white sauce plopped unceremoniously atop dry fettucine. She mixed in the sauce herself. The taste is middling and inoffensive. My best friend ordered a chicken and onion pizza. That cost him 6 dollars for just the chicken. How much chicken you might ask. Around 50 cents of tasteless crumbles. The layer cheese was so thin it seemed like pinkish skin with red tomato blood through. The entire pizza cost roughly 15 dollars for what any other place might charge a hard nine. The taste was middling and inoffensive. My best friend's girlfriend described her sandwich as tasting more like the salad dressing than the ingredients. It cost 5.99 which wasn't horrible. The price was middling and inoffensive. My roommate ordered a cheeseless pizza as he has a dairy allergy. Thankfully Comella's remembered this. However the rest of chicken and red pepper pizza was unimpressive. The middle was not cooked and the dough seemed melt to the box. The pervasive issue of a 6 dollar topping of chicken continued on here. The taste was middling and inoffensive. My roommates wife ordered Taylor Tuesday which is a pizza combo consisting of mozzarella and basil for 13 dollars. The taste was middling and inoffensive. Overall if you're looking to waste money on inferior food and poor service then Comella's is perfect for you. I'd highly suggest spending your money at any other pizzeria in Newton, especially West Newton Pizza Market. Despite being owned by Egyptians it seems that they understand the Italian way far better than signore Comella."
