Bertucci’s Italian Restaurant

Bertucci’s on VFW Parkway is the chain’s West Roxbury restaurant, with a Chestnut Hill mailing address. Brick-oven pizza anchors the menu, backed by pasta, salads and Italian-American dishes such as chicken Parmesan and lasagna. The margherita combines tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil and Pecorino Romano; garlic knots come with pomodoro sauce for dipping.

It is a practical option when a group wants familiar choices and the flexibility to share pizzas or order separate meals. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner and offers takeout, delivery and catering, with reservations available through its location page. Use the West Roxbury branch when placing an order so it goes to the VFW Parkway address. Menu specials change, but pizza and pasta are the reason to keep this one in mind.
