Bertucci’s Pronto

Bertucci’s Pronto on Tremont Street serves the chain’s brick-oven pizza in a counter-service format, with slices and whole pies for a quick downtown meal. The Big Papi combines meatballs, pepperoni, hot cherry peppers and hot honey; the Sporkie pairs sausage with ricotta. The Rosa skips cheese, which gives the menu a different starting point for anyone avoiding dairy.

Focaccia sandwiches are another reason to stop. One combines mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio and arugula, while roasted vegetables appear in a Caprese-style option. Salads and lentil soup round out the choices. Pickup and delivery are available, and the compact menu suits a workday lunch or food to take away after walking around the nearby Old State House.
