Salads and wraps are always fresh with crisp veggies. If you order a chicken ceasar wrap you will get fresh chicken, cooked when you order order, never from a package or pre-cooked. Service is friendly and the employees recognize their customers. Makes for a nice neighborhood eatery that you want to frequent.

I'm a native New Yorker, and generally dubious about the quality of New England Pizza, however, Mona Lisa's Pizza is right up there with some of the best pizza I've ever had. I love their blend of sauce, and the texture of their crust, and highly recommend a slice of their plain cheese pizza.

The store front looks like any other pizza joint in the city, but a look at the menu hints at much more. This is no ordinary pizza and sub place. The pastas and sandwiches are creative and delicious, the ingredients all fresh, the grilled chicken more flavorful than any I have tasted, but the most out-of-the-ordinary is their salads. It's not easy to find healthy (good ingredients) yet delicous salads in the Harvard Square area. Mona Lisa has many salads that are just that. I am addicted to their Summer salad (mesclun lettuce, grilled chicken, apples, tomatoes, onions and an amazing home-made citrus dressing), and their Mediterranean is also fantastic. The atmosphere is average lunch place, but the food and the very nice service are more than worth a trip.

Mona Lisa has some of the best thin crust pizza around (mostly due to the sauce ) and their specials are fabulous, too. It's a walk-in place and the atmosphere isn't right for a date, but if you are craving great italian food and you don't want to spend a lot of money, try it out - you won't be disappointed!
