because my husband said I like the mushrooms they use when i would order cheese with half mushrooms. My husband had the porchetta with pickled peppers and he loved it too! Great pizza!!!!!!!!“

“Great pizza , great customer service ! Super nice and friendly owners. Being from NY i feel like I’m a pretty harsh critic when it comes to pizza.

Everyone loved it and I am sure you will be getting more business from us soon. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Thanks so much for helping make our event a huge success.“

“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!“

“Went here a few years ago for lunch. Not many places on the Main Street for lunch, but this place never fails. Went back today and had a great Tip Caesar wrap. It was huge and delicious. Had a hard time choosing as their menu is quite large. Well worth the visit. So large I took half home for dinner. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.“

“It's good pizza. Also love the Greek Salad and the Mozzarella sticks are very tasty too. In particular, they deliver pretty quickly to our house so kudos for that. We order by phone and it's always been accurately delivered.

Vegetarian options: We often get an all veggie topping pizza and a salad. They both have cheese, so I guess it depends on how vegetarian you are.“

“This place is amazing! Our server, Kimmy went above and beyond to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. She gave us drink samples before we made a decision on our adult beverages. She made me a special saki peach tea that was wonderful! Her personality was so energetic! Kimmy, you're great!
Our pizza was absolutely phenomenal! We had the Margherita pizza (wood fire cooked!) and the owner made us another white pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms. He had a slice and GAVE us the pizza! We chatted with him and his wife, great people!
I tried the chili oil that he recommended. I loved it so much I bought a bottle!

“First time trying Otto Pizza, and we were blown away! We both grew up in NY and lived in CT for 30 years, so we’re very particular about pizza, and have tried many places in the area. Some are very good, but Otto’s is spectacular.
Thin crust, delicious flavors — we had the 4-cheese white pizza with spinach, and the meatball & ricotta red pizza. Both were absolutely delicious.
We will be back….again and again!!“

“Pomodori saved our wedding!! Our original catered cancelled last second, literally an hour before we were serving lunch. I called Pomodori’s and they came with absolutely delicious pasta and pizza to serve our guests! Everyone was raving over the food and we cannot say enough kind words about Zach and the rest of the staff! They were so kind, helpful, delivering to us and saving the wedding! Thank you and 10/10 recommend them for all catering needs!“

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!“

“best pizza in Gloucester! hands down!“

“So good!! One of my favorite spots in Salem. Creative and fun pizza menu. Super cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend:)“

“Having the fortune to come across this restaurant was one of the ultimate highlights from our Salem trip. The owner Jackie was so personable and kind. It was a true pleasure talking with her. The pizza and food was incredible- all very fresh, homemade dough and sauce, high quality ingredients, which you could tell from the first bite! You can taste the care that goes into this food. Amazing Pizza was a gem, and I will definitely visit again on my next visit to Salem.“

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

“just moved in the area. I am in the food industry. nice people. my second place to try on Cabot. disappointed. floppy crust, not unbearable but the sauce. just seems like someone made a mistake on the recipe. so sweet we couldn't eat it. it was overwhelming. cheese seemed like quality as did the pepperoni but hard to tell when you could only taste sugar. adding a small amount of sugar is of course the sign of a well balanced sauce to smooth out the acid of the tomatoes. this was not that. sorry to say we will try again to see if it was an employee error while making the sauce, but if not we will find another place for pie.“

“I get their Pizza often and their Rice hamburger balls and they’re delicious. The food is always delicious, the service ls also exceptional . 5 Starts .“

“It's a small town shop. Small town recipes, so you know the food is top-notch. Customer service and staff? Mint!But please, bring cash. My God. Bring. Cash. They do not take credit / debit. To all my fellow tourists, consider this a warning! The closest ATM is 2 buildings down the road and requires a debit card to be inserted onto the door of the building to have access. Normally, it's not a problem. But the door did not read my card. Had to try 4 different banks to get to an ATM. bring cash. I can not stress that enough.“

“Excellent linguica pizza“

“Favorite pizza place! The eggplant parm pizza is delicious 😋 Definitely worth trying, don't forget a side of house dressing!“

“Amazing roast beef. WOW. Highly recommend this place!“

“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.“

“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!??“

“Free parking in the rear! This spot does not disappoint. Great pizza and feet selection on pasta and others. The spaghetti and meatballs don’t disappoint, the lobster ravioli was also exceptional. The best part of this is well the customer service first and foremost. What’s a close second is the complimentary rolls with oil cheese and dried peppers. We were also lucky enough for the staff to bring us ricotta cheese balls on the house! Staff was super friendly with the kids also so that is always a plus.“

“I was there last month for the first time in 13 years. And it was the same as I remember. Everything was great the service the food. My favorite place to get seafood. I hope it doesn't take me another 13 years to get back. I live in Virginia and I wish this place was down here.“

“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.“

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

“Pretty solid. For the merunga1 review, the store's hours are incorrect. They close at 8:30pm. Odd to leave a 1 star review because of this.“
