Had a longing for Pizza & Beer And oh we most definitely got the Pizza but had to BYOB! And that... was totally fine Fresca in the lovely town of Marblehead certainly stands out as one of those local neighborhood gems where all the locals frequent. The place is full of authenticity, character and that wonderful local feel & sense of local pride. The people in Marblehead know Fresca. A casual yet all sorts of awesome pizzeria cooking up a storm in a wood-burning oven & serving a nice list of classic Italian dishes & get this... dessert pizzas. Polenta Frita Did not see this coming!! Certainly did not expect it to be as good as it was! Crispy homemade Parmesan polenta served with house made marinara sauce. I just love these types of local hot spots. A big thank you to Fresca for a great experience. We will certainly be back. Bollo Pizza In my opinion, an interesting spin on a general "meat lover" pizza. Homemade Bolognese sauce topped with pepperoni & melted mozzarella cheese. read more

Always delicious! I visit Marblehead from South Carolina at least once a year and never miss the opportunity to get takeout from here. Absolutely love the Franini. read more

Had trouble finding a place in Marblehead on a evening. Ended up stumbling on this place. I'm glad that we did! Chicken Parm was just what we needed! read more

A decent pie. I order a cheese, spicy meat, and broccoli/chicken. 2 out of 3 were good. The chicken broccoli was inedible. The broccoli tasted bitter and "off". Overpriced, but then again, this is Marblehead. read more

Delicious pasta! (Even when it's take out!) BYOB is always a money saver. I'll have to try their pizza next.

Lovely authentic Italian pizza, this place is good. The service was great and the pizza delicious. Ill be back again some time.

If you want fresh food, great service, and a great restaurant team to look after you definitely check this place out! Alisson and Bruno are great front of house servers and Jonathan makes the best pizza, fried polenta, and arancini. the music is cool, not too loud, and the place is nicely air conditioned in the summer. read more

To night I got the ham and cheese panini at Fresca Pizza & Pasta and it was insanely good. The flavor was on point and the bread was perfectly toasted, crispy outside and soft inside. It also came with fries on the side which were super tasty and made the whole meal really filling. I left full and totally satisfied. The vibe in the place was great too with good music and a relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly and fast. Definitely a spot I'll come back to! read more

Service was great, staff accommodating. Need to reformulate recipes. Soft no flavor crust/dough. Looks good yet little flavor and texture. Sauce has no flavor needs garlic and other real Italian spices. Cheese, pepperoni and fresh mozzarella all very bland. All the equipment is there but could make so much better pizza. Price is high which is fine if you feel taste, texture and satisfaction is there. As is I would not order again. read more

The fig special pizza and the featured apps including the ravioli were all fantastic! We go there weekly for Sunday pizza!!

Authentic Italian cuisine in a pizza place, the attention to quality is top notch. They treat their customers with respect and you leave feeling good. read more

I just ordered from here, while my wife's pizza was decent, the chicken piccata was inedible! No flavor at all. The chicken was dry and over cooked, with tendons still attached. If you're ordering from here, stick to pizza only. read more

Fantastic pizza. great service and FAST!!! This is my new go to in Marblehead. I need to try some of their specials now

Tried this place for the first time last night (did delivery to Salem) and I thought it was great. The dessert pizza I decided to add to cart out of curiosity ended up being one of the most delicious things I've probably ever had. Amazing. read more

Fresca Pizza and Pasta - Nutella Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Marblehead, Massachusetts

Excellent individual designer pizzas that are generous with quality ingredients that cover the 12 inch areas. Nice touch is the mesh under the pizza to protect it from getting soggy in the box. Hope we get to try the pasta dishes next. Nice addition to the usual pizza you get in town, read more

Fresca Pizza and Pasta - Prosciutto and arugula pizza - Pizza Near Me - Marblehead, Massachusetts

I have been to Fresca many times. Their pizzas are the best around. The brick oven was brought over from Italy. They use the best cheeses, the best pepperoni, the best prosciutto, everything. The crust of the pizzas is excellent. They do seem to do mostly take-out, I have never actually sat in there and eaten. Go to Fresca, it is the best in Marblehead. read more

Ordered some takeout for lunch-- the ham and cheese panini and the frescarita pizza lunch specials. I absolutely loved the panini! I appreciated the mix of sweet and savory with the ham&cheese and the guava chutney. And the bread for the panini was so yummy and I suspect is the pizza dough. It came with fries and a drink which for $10, in my opinion, is amazing. (Also the fries were wonderfully seasoned) The frescarita also came with a drink and was $10 for lunch which was awesome. If you're really hungry, it's a great personal size. For me I was plenty full splitting it with someone else. I always love fluffy pizza dough like this. Loved the sauce and thick Buffalo mozzarella used as well. Ordered around 1pm midweek and it was ready in 15 min. Excited to go back! read more

Frescarita pizza was the best pizza I've had in years! Thin crust but just perfection.

Very confused by the 4.8 star review. We really wanted to love this place. Tried the first time ordering on uber eats. It said it would be 35-40 minutes. The food took almost 2 hours to be delivered (we live 10 minutes away). It was cold and not great. Then we ordered pick up tonight. They told us 25-35 minutes. It took over an hour. Even when we got the food, it was subpar. My panini was soggy, the wings were lukewarm and the pizza was hard. On top of that, they were very rude while we waited an additional 30+ minutes for our food. read more

Just awful chicken parm. A gloppy mess of cheese and rubbery chicken. Used to be great about 18 months ago, but has just devolved into an inedible mess of a dinner. read more

Driving to Marblehead from New York to a friends Birthday tomorrow and was starving but had to purchase a dog gift next door to this place Fresca and Pizza. Absolutely in love with the pizza from this place really melts in your mouth. Being that my husband and myself are from NYC wanted to have pizza and pasta couldn't have chosen a better place. Delicious wood fired pizza, I can taste the freshness in my mouth. Pros: Pizza Porto - prosciutto and Zucchini yum still thinking about it Pasta- scampi so fresh and cooked to perfection al dente. The bucatini I thought it would be heavy as usually carbonara can be heavy and it wasn't, light fresh and delicious. Dessert we had the Affogato- yum. Before going back home we have to go back for the sweet pizza on the menu. Customer service was excellent young lady and guy up front were courteous and nice and super fast with your order as we starving after a 4 hour drive. Con: There are NO Cons. Definitely coming back. read more

Fantastic summer peach and strawberry salad with greens and raspberry vinaigrette... It really works! I am completely addicted to this!

Great margherita pizza!! And definitely the BEST fries in town. Fast and friendly staff. Small but cozy and comfy dining area!.

Excellent food fresh ingredients, well executed! I wish they had outdoor seating. We get takeout there weekly and it's always great.

Yummy pizza, great crust! Staff was super friendly and accommodating to the 5 crazy kids I had with me. Will be going back for sure.

I am extremely dissapointed. I just wanted to enjoy a nice pizza on my sunday evening.... bad idea. I woke up the next morning with the worst sickness of my life, I couldnt stop throwing up along with the person I shared my pizza with. DONT GET THEIR PIZZA!! :( I have noticed disappointing treatment of employees from adults while in the store and I am displeased with the state in which this pizza left me. Pizza was undercooked and soggy and when I received pizza it was cold- no wonder I got sick. chicken was suspicious and rubbery as well. read more

Love the Zucchini pie here. Owners are nice and they have a nice brick oven. Nothing to not indulge in

My mom and I are visiting Marblehead and didn't expect to visit pizza heaven while here! We ordered the Insalata salad (subbed the Parmesan cream dressing) and the Fonduta pizza. WOW! We were blown away. The crust was delicious - crispy on the outside and chewy inside. The toppings were a perfect combo - super savory and aromatic with the truffle oil. We will absolutely be back when we visit next year! read more

I have been to Fresca over 10 times and really enjoyed it when they first opened (see 4-star review over 2 years ago). Unfortunately, it seems worse each time now; both in quality and attention to detail. The last time we ordered, they misplaced our order and also did not put all topping on the pizza (and also did not apologize for mistake). I decided to give them one more shot; Tonight I had their chicken parm sandwich (special). The sandwich had very little flavor, bread was flimsy and cold and the chicken felt frozen in the middle (absolutely EW). For a premium price ($14.52), I expect premium, quality ingredients. This was strike 3 for me, Fresca is out of the takeout rotation. read more

Was my fist time there. I like , but i'm not a pizza lover. But , this place proved that i was wrong. Was the best and light ones i ever had. My favorites: fonduta and nutella. Great place! Totally worth to check it out. read more

Best pizza ever! Very creative menu, great flavor combinations. The pizza is done super fast and you can tell they take great pride in the details. The open kitchen concept is just so much fun! Definitely try the dessert pizzas, the French toast and the Nutella and strawberry! read more

What a pleasant surprise! Our family just had dinner at the new place in MH and i can't wait to go back. The pizza was perfectly cooked with the freshest of ingredients. The crust was thin, the way we like it, and the sauce was delicious. My daughter had the ghnocci and her comment was " I'll wake up in the middle of the night craving this. I had the tomatoe and mozzarella salad. It was divine. The salad fresh and crispy and the mozzarella wet, like it should be. I had garlic bread and almost ordered a 2nd order because it was so good. If you're looking for a great meal in marblehead.. this is the place. read more

Really good addition to the town. Fresh, hand made, wood fire cooked pizza. Refreshing menu and ingredients. Nice owners. Give it a try! read more

Fresca is a newer Italian restaurant in Marblehead and it replaced another restaurant in that same location, they have the some of most authentic Italian food in town because other locations are more Americanized and don't have pasta, they have nice pizza's and I haven't gotten a chance to try their pasta but I want to. They have a nice place with a brick oven, and good service. read more

First time I've been in since it was previously Camello's and WOW! Beautiful space, great service and a killer sandwich on fresh wood fire grilled bread with fresh veggies and great ham and cheese and a drink - all for 10 bucks! Wish I had known they had opened sooner, I think from the outside it sort of still looked like Camellos at a glance and I just never realized it changed! Will be back and would recommend! read more

Unique pasta dishes and pizza. Great salads too! I typically take out and there is room inside to eat as well. BYOB so order, go to Shubies, grab a bottle of your choice and enjoy... read more

The guy that left a bad review because he doesn't like the style of pizza should have saved it for his family. Of course if you don't like this style of pizza you're not going to like it. On the other hand, if you're a fan of wood fired crust and generous toppings to the edges then this so the place! The french toast pizza was surprisingly delicious. Not overly sweet and the mushy texture of the banana was offset by the crispness of the crust and the crunch of the candied nuts. Very unique and satisfying. I tried the ham and cheese panini and talk about unexpected!! Wow!!! Balance. Balance. Balance is all I have to say. Quality, fresh ingredients masterfully married to optimize experience. I'm sad I don't live in Marblehead. read more

The pizzas here are unique, crust is awesome and it's woodfired- need I say any more? Service is prompt - never had a late order. My son loves the dessert pizza read more
