“Excellent pizza!“

“I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years to CAP but have to say just now to the new owners who bought from Jimmy and Kosta who have that whole time treated me as family..thankyou because you just right now while I was picking up, recognized me as a loyal patron and family as they did! More than well done! Food is the same the best and service is loving and as close to home as it gets! They knew me and had me as I walked in of my 3rd time. THAT is crazy respect and customer service 👏 5⭐“

I’m so happy I found this place. Highly recommend , there’s something new and delicious to try every day! 💯🍕🤤“

“Excellent family-owned spot for pizza, calzones, subs, burgers, and Brazilian food. The special dinner can feed 2 with your choice of steak, chicken, or fried fish with a TON of sides for $18. French fries and fried yuca were super crispy and tasty. The staff were very warm and super accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“I have tried salads, subs, multiple pizzas, wings & dinners all were fantastic. Reasonably priced, owner super friendly. Easily best pizza in Beverly as well as Best pizza ever. Meatballs are unbeatable size quality I could go on and on.“

“Located in a convenient spot while visiting Salem we stopped there for lunch. It was pretty busy but the service was pretty good, nice people with smiles working the counter. The food was pretty good, we had a small BBQ chicken and a small Meat pizza. I do think the pricing is inflated especially on the bottled beverages. All and all a good experience though so if you want to open your wallet up I suggest giving them a try.“

“some of the more creative and better pizzas in the area. a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps and subs, plus salads and dinners (pasta or rice). what's not to like? love the melanzane and the shrimp scampi pizzas, but other combinations are good too (plus MYO, of course).“

“WOW. I was truly blown away with the quality and taste of this PERFECT Neapolitan style pizza. This pizza trailer is a must try if you are on, or near Cape Ann. There is plenty of free street parking near by while you wait for them to bake it in their brick oven or you call ahead for grab and go. I will certainly be back to try their fresh baked focaccia breads and every other pizza flavor they offer as well. This spot is 10/10 and it might have just become my favorite pizza spot in New England. Can’t wait to see where they end up getting a brick and mortar one day. Must try!“

I’ve been here 4-5 times now, mostly during the down hours between 2-5pm and it takes about 35 minutes to make 1 sandwich. I understand calling in during the rush but at 2:30?! Foods great, just prepare to wait.“

“Pizza loaded with toppings and still beautifully crisp on the bottom. The best onion rings I've ever had--- super thin, super crunchy coating and perfectly tender onion. I'd come back just for the onion rings. Warm and friendly staff.“

“Pizza is outstanding, nice Italian style crust, delicious sauce, and an excellent blend of cheeses! Best pizza in the area by far!
Just tried their Roast Beef sandwich yesterday for the first time. This place blows the doors off Kelly’s and Bill & Bobs, etc.
Best Roast Beef sandwich I’ve ever had. You could make three LARGE sandwiches with the generous portion of roast beef you get with a single sandwich at Maria’s!
Prices are very reasonable.
The owner was so nice he even gave my Bichon Frise a little plate of roast beef while we waited for our order to be prepared. All the employees I’ve encountered here are very friendly and professional.

First class run operation you shouldn’t miss. Don’t be deceived by the modest atmosphere!“

“My niece and I went there on sun for lunch it's a Must go 😄great yummy pizza great crust pepperoni and mushrooms very good prices it's that mom and pops style that I miss I'll be back to enjoy a nother pizza 💜best lunch
Wish they come to Rehoboth Beach Delaware
Take cash they don't take cards 🙂“

“We had a custom pizza last evening and it was absolutely delicious. We started with the 4-cheese and added red sauce and eggplant. I have found it hard to get a good Italian-style pizza in Ipswich, so I'm very happy that Otto is now in town!“

“I love love, love Tony’s Italian restaurant! Being fortunate enough to live across the street from the business, I have thoroughly enjoyed many years of going to Tony’s. Food is totally delicious, and pizza unbelievably delicious! Family owned business, and they are absolutely lovely. I always feel right at home when I visit. I could go on and on, but I just had to say wonderful things about the whole family, and about the wonderful food that I have enjoyed & continue to enjoy ,at Tony’s restaurant. I continue to be fortunate enough to celebrate this great business!??“

“An enormous thank you to everyone at Hamilton House of Pizza! Last night we had the high school cross country team for dinner, catered by Hamilton House of Pizza. Not only was the pasta, sauce, garlic bread and macaroni and cheese delicious, ordering the food was seamless. Everyone was incredibly helpful, even going into the pouring rain to put this huge order in my car. Thank you, thank you, thank you!“

“service was great pizza was delicious“

“I’m spoiled by great pizza because where I grew up and currently live . I found out about this place next of the TV show . I went there with my wife to give it a try , we drove out from Connecticut, and let me tell you it was worth it ! The pizza was well priced and you got a lot for your buck ! The bottom of the pie was just right, the right amount of cheese and WOW that sauce was amazing ! The pizza was overly greasy and the cheese didn’t fall off when you took a bite ! I grew up eating Caserta ‘s pizza off the hill in Providence, I thought their sauce was excellent but I’ve gotta say Little Italy’s was better ! Sponge Bob ( that’s what Tyler calls him ) can make a pizza lol ! 8/10 for me !!“

“excellent food !!!!!!!!!!!! and staff“

“We stumbled upon Georgia’s Pizza. It was truly amazing!! We came back 2 days later for more !!“

“an old school sweet pizza shop in a great city ..the vibes are family. thank you for letting me fold the boxes in 98. I would run to this spot any day or night.“

“Best pizza I've had in a long time!“

“Delicious pizza and Buffalo wings! It's located between both arcades. Fast service. Limited booths to sit at but you could always take your food and pop a squat across the way in the grass.

Parking: Parking was weird. Not every Parking space has a meter in front of it and you need to still have to pay for Parking which is NOT clearly posted.“

“If you're searching for the best pizza in Peabody, MA, Frankie Slice is the perfect place to visit. This restaurant has been voted as the best pizzaera in Massachusetts, and it's worth trying. Not only do they have fantastic pizza, their roast beef sandwiches, chicken parmesan dinner, and meatballs with spaghetti are all mouth-watering. And if you have a sweet tooth, try their ice cream and gelato. I highly recommend visiting "Frankie Slice" - you'll not be disappointed! Try the Shrimp Scampi pizza.“

“Love the service!! The guy at the desk is a really outgoing and friendly individual! Love the pizza and the specials they have, and I love how it comes out nice and hot, as well as fresh. I highly recommend it too anyone in the Salem MA area!!! 🫶🏼🙌🏼“

“We recently ordered from Gallo Nero Ristorante in Peabody for my mother’s 85th birthday, and it was truly one of the BEST dining experiences our family has ever had. Every single dish was exceptional, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with pride and passion. We ordered a little bit of everything, and every item exceeded our expectations. The Thick Sicilian Pizza, both cheese and pepperoni, was absolutely outstanding, perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with rich, authentic flavor. The tomato and mozzarella salad was incredibly fresh, bright, and beautifully balanced. The pastas were the stars of the show. The Lobster Ravioli, generously filled with real lobster, was hands-down the best we have ever tasted anywhere. The Butternut Squash Ravioli was velvety, sweet, and unbelievably fresh. The Eggplant Rollatini was tender, cheesy, and baked to perfection. We also received soft dinner rolls and the most delicious homemade focaccia, courtesy of the owner, and it was out of this world. And speaking of the owner, Nick, deserves special recognition. He went above and beyond for us. He made an exception to deliver the order personally, ensuring the food arrived on time and piping hot, and he took the extra step to double-check that everything was perfect. His kindness added a personal touch that made the celebration even more meaningful. Gallo Nero made my mother’s milestone birthday truly unforgettable. If you're looking for exceptional Italian food with unmatched service, we cannot recommend Gallo Nero Ristorante highly enough. Thank you, Nick, for helping make our celebration so special!“

“Fun atmosphere. Good service and food“

“I recommend the deep dish spinach, garlic, bacon, sauge, feta pizza!!! Cooked to perfection, lots of flavor, my family absolutely devoured it!! I was so pleased I had to share some with my neighbors....and of course they loved it. Keep up the great work Leonardos!!!“

“food came in all over the place... second time, done with Domino's“

“I have been going here since 1990’s and it’s the real deal“

“Everything about the store is on point! The homemade pastas that you bite into and your teeth feel that little firmness,😃, the flavors that your palate starts taking on, your brain instantly wants MORE! As you savor (and possibly moan a bit to loud lol) the incredible flavors of something as simple as carbonara, w/prosciutto, red onions & Romano cheese. Every visit, including take-out has been 💯% spot on! Mentioning take out, we recently dined outside, and watched the grubbers (grub hub) mad dashes in and out multiple times! We recognized at least 3 drivers, non stop pickup and drop orders, repeatedly! Thank you so much Little Store for your incredible hard work (when no one wants to work and think they should get everything free🤬🤬🤬) You are what America is built on! From the front of the house to last dish washed, you are all a generous team, so it appears from the outside. Great Job! P.S.Your freshness is duly noted!!! There are desserts, lemon mascarpone 🍰 cheesecake (can’t remember if it’s cake or cheesecake…red, red, wine..) Just stupid delicious at the end of a fantastic meal!! And I have had the chocolate torte or something like that…. 😱😱equally as good! I would just ROLL in them if it was acceptable…🤣🤣🤣so yummy!!! Thanks for letting me share my joy of The Little Store… and there legit hardworking staff!!! 👍👍👍“
