Hearth Pizzeria
About
Hearth Pizzeria is a Needham restaurant built around an open-flame hearth oven, turning out pizzas and entrées made with organic and locally sourced ingredients. The menu mixes family favorites such as pepperoni pizza, pasta with marinara and chicken parmesan with more inventive pies like fig, prosciutto and blue cheese, along with a garden pizza, arancini, wraps and flatbread sandwiches. It describes itself as a casual, warm meeting place for colleagues, families and neighbors.
Owner and chef Ivan Millan-Pulecio opened Hearth Pizzeria in 2015, fulfilling a lifelong dream of running his own restaurant. He trained under chefs Tony Bettencourt and Michael Ehlenfeldt, then cooked in Boston at Tomasso Trattoria, Panzano Market and Rossini’s Pizzeria before coming to Needham. His cooking draws on international flavors and the seasons, with monthly specials paired with craft beer and hand-selected wines, and a bar program that includes house cocktails.
