This popular (and reliable) restaurant chain is known for it's brick oven pizzas, pastas, and of course bread! This location is close to Children's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a range of colleges. Particularly helpful for parents who have children in the hospital, this Berticci's is very accomodating and willing to meet your needs. They also offer takeout (for you to pick up). The only downside to this restaurant is that it is hiding within a research facility- so just look for Blackfan Circle across from Children's Hospital. Betucci's is open Sunday from 11am-9pm, and Monday through Saturday from 11am-10pm. Credit cards accepted include MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover and Diner's Club.

While Sbarro's name may be lacking in vowels, its fast-food style cuisine is always decent and satisfying. This restaurant, a part of a national chain, is located within the Longwood Galleria in the hospital district. Sbarro primarily serves New York style pizza by the slice. Their other fare (pasta, breadsticks, and the like) are somewhat less popular but are still a tasty alternative. A combo with a drink isn't as cheap as one might expect at a pizza chain--After tax, it can be almost $10 for a skimpy serving of food. If you're looking for a slice during the "lunch hour", beware! Your quick lunch break may turn into an extended affair while waiting in long lines filled with medical professionals from the area.
