“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 !!“

“Best pizza I've had in a long time!“

“Sal's is located inside a larger convenience store. (Haffners) The pizza is just as good as the stand alone stores.
The convenience store also sells liquor and there's a pot store as well!
Talk about convenience!!!“

“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!!! 🫶🏼🙌🏼“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Sebastian’s is the best pizza on the North Shore! New ownership has done an incredible job taking the same great pizza and bringing the business into the 21st century. Love the user friendly website and online ordering!“

“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“

“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!!! 👍👍👍“

“As always a fantastic time. Service was great. Price was right. Drinks (for adults and children) and food were just right. Another fantastic evening at Cape Ann Lanes!“

“Short & Main is a standout on the North Shore, serving top-tier wood-fired pizzas, fresh oysters, and craft cocktails in a beautifully crafted space. It’s truly a must-visit—especially if you’re in the mood for a perfect pizza plus oyster pairing and a dash of creative ambiance. Just go in with a reservation, an appetite (maybe order an extra pie!), and a bit of patience during busy nights.“

“The Muffuletta Sandwich is amazing!“

“this is the best place to eat“
