“Went there for lunch today & on the recommendation of a friend,. my husband & I both ordered the liver & onions. It was one of the best we've ever had. Liver was so tender you could cut it with your fork. We will definitely be going there more often.“

“If you've read anything about beach pizza, a hyper regional style established in the Hampton Beach area, you will probably go into your first bite with a bit of trepidation. The pies are square, which raises few eyebrows, and the crust is appealingly thin, almost cracker-like. Aesthetically - at least before they are prepped for a reheat in the oven - slices don't look that different from a typical Rhode Island pizza strip, though it has a bit more pale white cheese dotting its top. But the sauce is notoriously sweet, and if you order it with cheese each individual slice will be topped with a thin circle of provolone, which is barely melted in the very low-heat oven they use to warm up orders.
Do not be put off by this description. Order a slice - with or without extra cheese, the choice is yours - open your mind to the possibility that there may be more to pizza than what you've been taught, and take your first bite. Almost instantaneously you will know if you like beach pizza. The crust is soft yet crispy, the sauce oversugared yet left with enough lingering acidity to be something other than typical tomato sauce while still maintaining its tomato sauce status. If you have cheese on your slice, there may be a pit of a pull as you tear your first bite away; this cheese doesn't add flavor as much as texture. Ideally, the sun is beating down on you as you finish off your slice in the parking lot next to the order window in between sessions at the beach. At this point, you will either want another slice or swear off trusting anyone in the Hampton Beach area about food ever again.
Like every significant regional food, beach pizza has two titans forever battling for the hearts and minds. While it can be found at a handful of smaller storefronts along the shore, most people pledge loyalty to either Tripoli or Christy's. Tripoli, which has multiple locations on the beach but first began (and still stands) as a bakery in Lawrence in the early 20th century, is my pick of the two. The products are similar, but Tripoli's sauce sets it apart. It doesn't modestly present itself as a variation on other styles. It proudly states "I am beach pizza, and I am here to be a little too sweet, a little too insubstantial in my crust, a little too addictive."
There's unmistakable nostalgia in this pizza even if, like me, you grew up thousands of miles away. It might be that if you ate Stouffer's French bread pizza as a child, ideally as an afterschool snack before your parents got home from work, this pizza will transport you back to that minute you bit into a half hot out of the toaster oven. It might be that if you went to the beach when you were a kid and climbed out of the water and sand to stumble over to a snack stand, hot and sticky and hungry, this pizza will transport you back to the satisfaction of cheap American calories in simple and familiar packages. Regardless of whether you can pinpoint its source, beach pizza's power lies in its confident vision of its own conception. You might hate it, but beach pizza doesn't care. It will be there for you anyway.“

“Lovely, homey atmosphere. We come here often and have never had anything short of an excellent meal. Portions are great and they are careful with allergy restrictions too. Oh, and the sushi is always impressively fresh.
Dietary restrictions: Good about allergy restrictions“
