great food great customer service - prices are terrific for the amount of food you get and it always tastes delicious.

Poor and Bad Business for serving food to the public ! I ordered a Ham Italian sandwich half and told the idiot making the sandwiches NO "Pickles" !!! what did the moron do ? put a bunch of "Pickles" on it and I am allergic to damn "Pickles' !! and the half sandwich cost me $10. dollars each of them and he put "Pickles" on both of them and I sand NO "Pickles" on both sandwiches ! I will Never go there ever again for food at all ! they don't know how to take orders or do them correctly !! it used to be a good business to get your food and your orders done correctly and now after Covid-19 virus they don't listen or follow orders made for food service !! read more

Service great but not liking their subs. It's the bread. Otherwise it's good place. We like French bread type texture. Chewy and crusty. read more

Wow, this was a rough one. Stop by while I was in the area. Local sub shop that's been around for over 70 years. Sounds cool. Unfortunately, it's not that great. I ordered a pepperoni calzone. The women behind the counter were more concerned with a young man who came in to flirt with instead of taking the order, but when I eventually got a chance to, she wasn't paying my attention much. I grab a soda, that had been out of date for 6 months and was flat. That's the only reason this is getting a 2 instead of a 3, as they did give me a refund on it. When I got the calzone, it didn't look, or taste, good. The cheese was barely melted, the dough was raw, the pepperoni was like an inch thick and it was some of the worst pizza sauce I've ever tasted. It was like eating from a can of Chef Boyardee. The prices are decent, but I guess you get what you pay for. read more

Came through and ordered two subs: one Italian and one chicken salad. The bread was fresh, which was surprisingly nice. The chicken salad was pretty bland. This place is good for a quick bite. The people that work there are really nice. I would have given five stars if the wait weren't so long, and if the food were of higher quality. read more

Service is above expectations . The Big Dave sandwich was amazing and now my favorite

Stopped by the other day with the misses for a pizza. We asked if they had black olives and were snapped at by an older, overweight woman behind the counter, "WE HAVE BLACK KALAMATA OLIVES!" Of course these are not the traditional "black olives" that everyone is used to. I assume my question was offensive as they strictly adhere to true Italian customs when it comes to olives. That would be the only thing they are strict about because the "crust" was straight out of a freezer and had the consistency of stale bread, not pizza dough. The sauce tasted much like good old Campbell's tomato soup. The bacon was what we call "whole hog" bacon, meaning it's what's left of the pig when they are finished making the head cheese...skin, scraps etc.. It is the cheapest, laziest "meat" that you could laughingly refer to as bacon...absolutely vile. I assume you are not supposed to look too closely while eating it. I think I chewed on a nostril. I guess the bottom line is if you want a supermarket pizza warmed up and given to you with a pissy attitude, this is the place for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere...we are. read more

I have been coming to Damon's since I was in high school and it was always on the way home from our longer games (and our bus driver liked it). As a kid, I did not appreciate this place- I think because all fast food was cheap back then in the late 90s. Since I've moved to central Maine and realized subway is more expensive than Damon's and a tenth as good as Damon's, I've turned around. They also employ local kids- the person in front of me was a teacher of the cashier yesterday who Are trained well. Thankfully Damon's is at a stop light (I have no idea where my school bus parked, it must have been less developed then, I would not recommmend parking f a bus there!) and they always have great parking. I also appreciate that you can sneak into it from meadow road and avoid western ave. The sandwiches are on homemade bread and they have real Maine Italians, with black olives, which are big enough to share a large between an adult couple. It's easy to eat there but you can also get take away. I also love the big Dave jr- that crust bread!! read more

Paid 22.00 for a large sub that had only 5 each slice of meat 3 cheese slice a small handful of lettuce , absolutely Dissatisfied for 22.00 not worth it. Also purchased a 6inc that had one slice of ham and one slice of cheese for 9.00. Very dissatisfied with the quality For a restaurant definitely not with the money. read more

Ordered the Chicken Parm, asked them to add some oregano. Great sandwich, they toasted it just right, and the chicken tasted great!

Were looking for something quick while driving through and this sounded good - so we took a chance. They have a small army of people working there and this is definitely a place where the locals go - which we love. Everything we had was good, a short wait and very fresh. Would absolutely go again if we were ever in the area. read more

Solid sandwich shop that I have frequented on multiple occasions. Pastrami is very good and I would recommend. Counter service establishment. read more

We are on the highway and pulled off in an unknown town for something to eat. We saw Damon's and Taco Bell and almost went to Taco Bell, I'm sure glad we didn't! Damon's is absolutely wonderful. The food is fresh. The freshly baked bread for the sandwiches is amazing. The place was very clean and the service was fast. I got a pastrami sandwich and a cup of chili both were great! The chili was a little tangy and little hot and very good. My sweetheart had bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich and that was good too. The owner was there working and very nice. On our way back in 3 days, we plan to stop and have one of their pizzas because they look amazing. read more

I am pretty sure Damon's is the Best sandwich/pizza shop in New England! They have it all fish, chicken, steak, pizza, Lobster, burgers, spaghetti, calzones and of Course "The Big Dave" I recommend this place whenever you are in August, Maine! Best Lunch in the Capital for sure! read more

Damon's Pizza & Italians - Chicken salad sandwich and a drink! - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Maine

Been coming here since I was a kid. Solid food. Clean. Fast. Bread is fresh and tasty.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and saw lobster rolls on the menu. My knees got weak because lobster is my kryptonite- I was not disappointed- I got the large and expected it to cost about $25 or so - it was $17.95 and worth about $30! Everyone was friendly and fun! This is my new lunch stop when in Augusta!! read more

Damon's Pizza & Italians - Yeah that's my lobster roll - enormous and delicious!! - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Maine

..and then came along the lobster roll. As resident Mainer here in Cambridge, my friends regularly ask me where my favorite lobster roll can be purchased. This question is terribly difficult.. I'm a whole-lobster gal and am generally disappointed anywhere that serves the roll. To best enjoy lobster, you gotta eat the whole thing.. preferably next to the ocean on a picnic table with a plastic bib around my front. Many people near Cambridge say that Neptune has the best roll but it's way too expensive for not a ton of meat. ..and then came Damon's. We are in Maine. Augusta. Not somewhere you would typically travel to unless maybe you're doing business or something. Or better yet: you live there. But the lobster roll at Damon's is hands-down the best lobster roll I've ever had and I don't think you could beat it. WHY? I will tell you. 1. Best bang for your buck. $20 for a 1/2 lb clear lobster meat sandwich. 2. They dress to your liking (you can get it plain, a little bit of mayo, a lot of mayo, whatever you like at no additional charge). 3. The roll at Damon's is so good and soft and you can get it toasted or not toasted. I was so excited about the different options and the kick-ass price, that I totally blanked on how I would normally take the lobster roll.. So I opted for light on the mayo and bun not toasted. SO GOOD. Okay, your turn!! read more

The smallest salad I have received for $8.75. J can get this at market market for $4. Not even home made dressing? Just not what I expected. Maybe shame on me for getting a salad at a pizza shop but this is not what I expected. read more

I'm an out if stater who married a Mainer, and we always hit Damon's when visiting Augusta. Damon's has a steak sandwich (Loaded) that is so delicious that I went back the next day without my wife knowing and got a second one. We've had sandwiches here before, and they are consistently delicious. read more

Damon's Pizza & Italians - Steak sandwich, Damon's. So darned yummy! - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Maine

Really great pizza and service. We called ahead and were told it would be 20 minutes, but when we arrived 9 minutes later, the pizza was already coming out of the oven. Great selection of chips and drinks. Would definitely stop again. read more

My office decided to order from Damon's, which was great because I was craving a ham Italian so bad. Prices are reasonable, and while they do offer delivery, we picked up. My Italian was good, exactly how I wanted it, albeit a little salty (that could be the ham, you never know what the salt level in ham will be) and the onion rings I ordered were crunchy and flavorful. read more

Good portions - Lobster Roll 1/2 lb on a fresh toasted buttered roll. Not too fancy but plenty oof seating and delivered a tasty bite on the road. read more

Two strikes and you're out. I've been here twice and each time I've been terribly disappointed. This time I was very specific, plain chicken wings no salt, (last time they were so salty I couldn't finish them), meatball sub light sauce, well melted cheese. I opened the items to check, ran my finger across a wing and licked it. It was so salty it was like licking a block of salt. The meatball sub had a smattering of barely melted cheese. I got my money back on the wings, and left. The only reason they got a second star is that the sauce, bread and meatballs were deliciously flavored. Oh, their excuse for the wings, they boil them in salt water first. GROSS. If your wings need that much salt you need to find a new distributer for them. Also the woman who took my order could have told me about the salt water. All this took over 20 minutes to fix and the place was not that busy. read more

Damon's Pizza & Italians - Pitiful excuse for cheese on a meatball sub. - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Maine

Went a couple of times. Big, rubbery canned mushrooms on my pizza. I was shocked when the sausage on my pizza turned out to be Jimmy Dean. Brown and serve breakfast sausage links cut into little cubes. Maybe it's me, but my palette doesn't line up with their menu options. read more

Great variety of foods from pizza to sandwiches to baskets. Was on vacation in Augusta, went to Damon's for evening meals. It was very good. But some days they closed at 4pm or was closed for the day. Hope they can get back to longer hours as more people go back to work in Maine. read more

Ordered a large tuna Italian and a small tuna Italian. They were AWFUL! Very little tuna, bread was hard on the ends, asked for no black olives and no onions and both were on the top. So many olives! I realize I called it in 30 minutes before close but this was NOT Damon quality at all. Truly unacceptable. Will stick with Whippers. read more

I've been here a lot, but I don't think I will go back. I ordered delivery and got the buffalo chicken basket. The chicken had so little sauce that I had to get the Frank's from the fridge and re-do it, and the fries were undercooked and cold. Another of our party got an open faced sandwich that was cold. There are other places in Augusta with similar menus, so I'll be going to those places in the future. read more

This is eat in or takeout pizza and sandwhich shop with deep roots in the community, supporting local kids sports teams and donating to local causes. They have a great variety of food to please even the pickiest of eaters. They have fried food baskets and burgers as well. I like the turkey italians with extra pickles. The bread is perfectly soft and the pickles are thin salty goodness from a huge barrel type. The steak and cheese is melty deliciousness. read more

This place does not look like a restaurant you want to order seafood in. Don't be fooled. GIGANTIC lobster roll. You are given a choice to have mayo or none, roll toasted or not. We opted for very light mayo and shared large basket. It was plenty for 2. Perfect and delicious lobster, well cooked and full of flavor. Good fries. Decent Cole slaw. 5 stars for amount of meat, flavor and price. $28 for basically 2 rolls with fries. read more

This is the best Lobster Roll I have ever had. Far from fancy, the basic toasted white bread bun, lettuce, and mayo simply act as a textural backdrop for the exceptional lobster. I was taken here while on business by a local, and out of all the traveling I did in Maine this felt the most authentic experience. For the record, I got the Lobster Roll Basket, toasted and with mayo and lettuce. The basket came with tons of fries and a very good coleslaw. read more

Employees were friendly, but the Ham and cheese sub sub I ordered was awful. My sandwich consisted of a thick slice of gross fake ham similar to Subway, american cheese of the packed supermarket variety, iceberg lettuce, in an oversized New England hot dog bun. It amazes me that an institution that has been around for so long would find it acceptable to use such poor ingredients. I prefer to support local businesses but, I wound up throwing the entire sub away and buying a new sub from Tim Hortons. It's amazing that a chain restaurant served me a far superior sub. read more

Very nice place with high quality food and excellent service. Folks are so pleasant here and they truly understand how to keep a busy lunchtime crowd moving. I ended up going with a small lobster roll which was still quite big! I could only eat the meat because there is so so much room in a stomach. Lobster was perfectly cooked and ultra fresh - I will stop by whenever I come back up to the capital city for work. Thanks for the tasty, high quality food and excellent service. read more

pretty good lobster roll! good amount of mayo and even a little bit spiced, unlike to more plain lobster rolls from places that hug the coast. we also got a big dave (italian sub [though it's on a circle bun, at least the smallest size]) and that was a pretty good sandwich too. the toasting really does it and their bread is baked daily. the people working there were also very nice and helpful with recommendations. read more

Stayed at Augusta, ME last week . My clients recommendded this place for lobster roll. It's really good. This place like a sandwich store or food market but with a simple dine in area. I ordered lobster roll to go and finished it at my hotel. It is really good, with lots of lobster meat and it was fresh. Maybe all lobsters are fresh in Maine :) Good food, I am sure that I will visit there again next time I got this client ! read more

Damon's is a required stop for us when we're in town. Our family favorites are the turkey Italian sandwich, the steak and cheese sandwich and of course the lobster rolls. The rolls are soft and chewy and flavorful... so much better than chain sub shops. I highly recommend! read more
