I am staying in the area all week and thought I would search for a local pizza place so I had something to munch on instead of going out to eat every day. I found Anthony's Pizza Place within a few miles of my hotel and thought I would check it out. I could not find it initially on Yelp but found it elsewhere and it had better than four stars for a review average. When I got back to my hotel I discovered that in Yelp it had a different name, "Anthony's Roast Beef". Confirmed from the location and phone number. I submitted an edit in Yelp. I walked inside and found it to be pretty basic with some tables and a counter toward the rear with a menu board behind it. The menu appeared to be rather extensive but I was focused on the pizza. There was a refrigerated drink cooler to the left of the counter. No one was seated inside but I saw two delivery cars pull up while I was there. It appears they must do a lot of delivery orders. The inside felt very well lit and clean. I proceeded to the counter looking at the pizza section to the right of the menu board. The meat lovers caught my attention and I asked what is on the meat lovers. I was satisfied and asked for a large. Again, I thought I could munch on this through the week I was here. I asked the gentleman that took my order how long it would be and told him that I wanted to go to a grocery store as well. He told me and showed on his phone there was a Market Basket grocery store within a mile or so of the restaurant. He directed which way to go and I thanked him and said I would look it up on a map. He also said he would hold the order a few minutes before putting it in so I had more time. When I returned, he recognized me and had my order ready to go. He even asked me if I needed paper plates which he provided. When I got back to the hotel, I wish I had asked for some napkins. I drove back to the hotel and ate some pizza. It hit the spot and I had some leftover for a few more meals. I would recommend to others. Maybe I'll try the roast beef when I'm back in town. read more

Absolutely terrible! I'm pretty sure it's under new management or owners but food doesn't taste the same how it used to back then. The Last 3 times i have came here to eat I have dealt with food poisoning after eating here.... I don't know why I keep coming back and giving them chances. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

After a long day my Adult Kids wanted Pizza. Our Local pizza place had shut down for the evening and I used Grub Hub to try a new Pizza Place that serves a Sicilian Pizza. I had no idea what I was in for! The Pizza was absolutely huge! Not only that, our food came out on time and hot. I had made a request to add BBQ chicken and Bacon onto the pizza, they followed up their service with a phone call to double check because of Grub Hubs up charges. Absolutely worth it. The restaurant is more than a half an hour from me and it was still hot. Reasonable pricing if you were to go directly to them, however the delivery apps have to make their money too. We have so much Pizza left! Definitely would order from there again! read more

Anthony's Pizza Place - Party Pizza Our famous GIANT pizza with BBQ Chicken and Bacon - Pizza Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Online ordering super easy. Ordered a super beef three way and added in onions, a junior with sauce and a pepperoni pizza. Brought the food home (less than 10 minute drive) pizza was stone cold like it was sitting in the kitchen for a few hours. The roast beef three way only had Mayo and very little Mayo. The junior was perfect. The beef was cooked perfectly but you advertise a three way you should know how to make it. Also added sauce on the side at an additional cost and never received it. I'll give them another chance but will inspect the food prior to leaving. read more

We ordered a sweet pizza with white onions and eggplant. It was absolutely delicious We can't wait to go again. We like pizza that is crispy not floppy and it was perfect. read more

Ive ordered here twice now and I really only go for the roast beef. I've been trying to find somewhere close to home that has good roast beef since moving from the Northshore to the Merrimack Valley. The first time it was nice and warm, sliced really well(they have the automatic slicer); but I can't say the beef had much flavor. It was mostly pink with some brown spots. It was worth a second try, which I did the next day and the beef was cold, cut the sam obviously, and still no flavor. I can't say I won't beef here again, but definitely going to keep looking for a better beef. Prices are average. I got pizza for my kids and it was your regular Greek Pizza, nothing special. read more

These guys are the best!! So I forgot to ask for something on a pickup order and when I reviewed what I ordered they told me I ordered bone in wings instead of tenders and that the order was ready. I arrived and was fine with it. I mean, it was my fault -but yeah, they told me they were making what I wanted. I'm top of that, it was close to closing time and they still did it!! Amazing service read more

We have tried the cheesesteak calzone, got a large on a monday, half off calzones, great value. 12 dollars for a large calzone! Tried the roast beef, was really good. Also tried their eggplant parm pasta dinner, pretty good, but i think next time i will try go order it on a Wednesday when it is half off! Overall, I've been happy with this place. Only had one bad experience, but it seems to me they have worked to correct their errors so i didnt bother writing a crappy review. read more

If the same owner is there from when I wrote my review I cannot recommend this restaurant. The owner lied to my face about the food we ordered, which had zero cheese not double/extra cheese. I even provided photos which she didn't want either, that clearly showed dry, cheese less steak and cheeses. She also told me she took the sandwiches off the grill, not the cook mind you, and bagged them so she knows there was extra cheese on them. No refund, no replacement....do not return business. I do t trust them with food I put in my body. read more

To promote their business, Anthony's sent us a flyer with a scratch off section, stating that you could win a large free pizza for a year. We used it all of 2 times. When we tried to use it once more they told us it was no longer valid, despite all of the fine print that was clearly stated on the flyer. This is a poor way to try to attract clientele and run a buisness. They no longer have our buisness. I have since thrown that flyer out, as there was nothing to be done. Overall, from our couple of experiences, the food was great and delivered in a timely manner with friendly service on the other end. read more

Ordered a calzone. After eating a few bites, I found undercooked chicken inside of it. I called and told the staff member and she replied by "bring it down here and prove it".

We got 2 veal parmesan. We asked 1 had extra cheese. The other one came with no cheese. We asked 4 the 4 garlic bread one bread plain. They literally sent a slice of white bread like wonder bread. The veal was so burnt and tough. Bad. Do not buy read more

My parents ordered food from here but don't have yelp so I'm posting on their behalf. They are not happy with the way the manager handles his customer. Not happy with employees not taking care of a wrong order. The food they ordered was a pizza and a sub. The pizza was so cold it could have just come out of a freezer and the sub was wrong. This is not the first time they got my parents order wrong. The store wanted to make a new order. and my parents said no they wanted a refund and the manager said they would take care of it, but their bank shows no refund....3 weeks later. read more

I always liked Anthony's. The food is good and they sometimes have some good deals. Except, the last few times the front desk staff has given me really bad attitude. Today I called in an order for pickup, only to get there and find out they didn't make my pizza. They then proceeded to tell me they did not make the pizza because they didn't know what kind of barbecue sauce I wanted and said I could wait 15 minutes. I asked them why they didn't get a callback number from me so they could have asked me that before I got there. The girl was flustered by my question, and another girl came over and rolled her eyes and repeated I would have to wait. I tried explaining my order to them again and she gave me more attitude and was being really rude. I said I would just go somewhere else and they didn't even try to mend the situation. I walked out without any food. They don't deserve more than one star in my opinion. Their food could be absolute trash but I will not give my business to people who have no respect. I'll keep my money and go to Royal Roast beef and pizza across the street! read more

Under new management. I got a medium meatball calzone. The price went up $3.00 and not as good.

Wanted to support a small business during the quarantine and the restaurant options were very limited. Went with Anthony's because they have veggie subs/wraps and other basic American food. The hot veggie sub was alright. I liked that it was just straight up veggies and no cheese or weird sauce. They give you a generous helping of veggies but the bread isn't toasted (which I thought it would be with a hot sub) so it got very mushy (def not something you'd want to save for leftovers). My friend got chicken tenders and fries and ended up throwing everything in the air fryer before eating since it wasn't very crispy. I'd probably considering ordering again if I really didn't want to cook and was in the mood for a simple sub (but I'd def modify it at home to make it a bit better). read more

We used to order from Anthony's once a week when they first opened for about a year. They are a little pricey but the food is tasty and the kids like it. The staff started to become unjustifiably rude and inconsiderate during routine ordering. We stopped ordering for months and tonight decided to give it another try. The staff was neutral however the quality and quantity of food has moved Anthony's back to the "X" list. The food was subpar and extremely overpriced(COVID aside) the waffles fries were more than $7 for a kid snack sized portion, the pizzas were small and over cooked, along with being overpriced. Lots of room for improvement here, but they won't be getting another visit from our family. read more

Anthony's Pizza Place - Overpriced fries - Pizza Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Been going there for years. Now under new ownership. Got the same pizza I always get " meat lovers". Pizza had 1/4 the toppings it always had, and the taste was bland. Not worth the price. read more

Been there 4 times. It is fantastic !!! I really enjoy the pizza it was cooked the way I like it. Some places serve it all oily I top. Not these guys. They do it right. I had the pasta twice. The portions are so large that both times I had to have a take-out box to bring home the left overs. The owner and his staff are really friendly. The next time you want a great meal at a reasonable price go to Anthony's on riverside drive in Methuen. read more

And the winner of the Worlds Worst Roastbeef Sandwich goes to.... Anthony's Roastbeef in Methuen, so over cooked it tasted burnt, served ice ice cold (my 20oz soda was warmer than the sandwich), sliced way too thick, the bun was stale, and it was 11am when I got it, you don't even start your day off with fresh bread???? The absolute worst I have ever had hands down, the restaurant was smokey as if they had zero ventilation, and the place smelled like old dirty cooking oil, which is why I opted out for fries or onion rings, what a shithole, I'm amazed they're still in business. read more

The steak bomb from here used to be my favorite around but it seems they have raised the prices AND cut out the amount of steak in the sub by about half. There was such a small amount of steak in it that I will never order this again from what was my favorite place. Poor way to try to cut costs. This type of management will put you out of business. read more

Would not go back have gone sporadically since the summer and I've had issues with service today I went into work two slices of pizza and a slice of a calzone and end up having to wait 10 minutes while other people came in order slices of pizza had them heated and given to them before me I ended up having to wait 10 minutes didn't even have mine heated up like anywhere else has was pretty much ignored for the most part I won't be going back I'd rather go to royals across the street read more

Went here for dinner. Chicken sandwich lasted one bite before the soggy bun gave way, I mean it was so soggy it was like it fell in a sink. Chicken and rice was very good and the lasagna as my 9 year old said It sucks. Added bonus first time I ever heard him say that. Oh well back To Royal. read more

Wow can't believe you put a place like this in merrimack valley. Shaved roast beef almost the consistency og hamburger? Not good at all. Slow service make shift a/cs come on. OMG and after seeing a few I have a response to the owner. Life is way to busy to report all good spots. I would like you not to bash me because It was so bad i wouldn't want anyone else to try famous roast beef that for lack of better term sucked. Please don't chime into this, oh btw i only write reviews when things aren't good. My reviews have merit. TY read more

I can't get over all these bad reviews!!! I feel bad for royal house and chris' because once Anthony's opened it was on an poppin!! They are packed almost every night of the damn week!! They are super friendly and the girls at the front are all so sweet too!! There "sweet pizza" is AMAZEBALLS!!! It tastes exactly like beach pizza... the blend of cheese they use is phenomenal and I hate eating pizza crust but I love Anthony's!! It's super thin and light and the cheese gets to the edges too! My boyfriend love the pepperoni pizza ... my mom loves her veal cutlet Parmesan sub- other people don't use real veal and they do! My mom is 100% Italian so for her to approve of the veal is HUGE. My dad loves everything- pastrami sub, Italian sub, pizza, etc. Also have tried waffle fries, regular fries, cheese cake bites and desert calzones.. all were super wonderful!! We legit eat here so much it's sad but it's friggen delish!! I know I'm sounding super fat but idgaf! I genuinely don't know anyone personally here I just feel they need some good reviews bc this is crazy to see ! And I never write reviews LOL Make your own assumptions don't listen to these crabby people !! read more

Just got a delivery from Anthony's. 2 lg Italian subs, a grilled cheese sandwich. Small order of fries, small order of cheese sticks and a small order of chicken fingers. $49.32....$3.99 for a grilled cheese, $9.99 for a small chicken fingers and $8.99 for a small cheese sticks and $4.23 for fries. All average at best. The 2 large Italian subs were delicious and cost $17.00 for both. We got 4 dinners at the Texas roadhouse for less money and more food that was far better. We order out once a week and this place is the most expensive and the quality just doesn't justify it. read more

This place sucks. I have tried them out a handful of times at my new job. You wait 2 hrs for cold food. I ordered a turkey wrap and fries at 12:54 it arrived at 3:00 cold and soggy. They claim they are extremely busy well if business is that good hire more people to cook and drive. There really is no excuse to wait 2 hrs for cold food. That tells me it was sitting for over and hour to be completely cold. This is not the first time it's every time it's always late and always cold. read more

We have two roast beef/sub shops near us, Anthony's and Royal Roast Beef. I go to Royal House 90% of the time not just because their food is better IMO, but they make it quicker and they are nicer to you at the counter. And their pizza, I have no idea if it's supposed to be Greek style or something else. I know it's not Italian style. I can't quite get a grasp on it, but it's not for me. Despite all that I still give Anthony's a shot once in awhile just to see. Overall their food is pretty good (besides the with a lot to choose from. But again, every time it seems...a wait and someone not that friendly. Update: I've been back a couple times and have had a good experience ordering there. Still not super quick but that's not a huge deal. Still not a fan of their pizza but I know a few people that love it so to each their own I guess. read more

No stars for delivery service....placed an order for delivery , was told 45- 55 minutes ...which is extreme for cold subs IMO. 1 hour 28 minutes into it called to see where is food, got cold sorry but we are understaffed for deliveries, girl is on her way, she should be there any minute. Another 25 minutes later we are still waiting for food. 8 hungry and cranky visitors ...never again. We have yet to see if food is any good. If I could leave no stars I would. read more
