Josephine

Josephine in Somerville gives pizza eaters a choice between wood-fired thin crust and deep dish with a butter crust. Chef Michael Scelfo’s Italian restaurant also serves spaghetti, rigatoni and crispy rice supplì, so the table does not have to agree on pizza. Pepperoni with hot honey and a white clam pie with pecorino and garlic are among the thin-crust options. Allow at least 30 minutes for deep dish, a good reason to order something to share first. Weekend brunch adds ricotta pancakes with roasted bananas and breakfast sandwiches folded into pizza dough. Reservations and online takeout ordering are available, making Josephine useful for both a sit-down meal and dinner at home.
