Driving South on the Maine Turnpike on a beautiful Saturday when I came up with the great idea of…read moreturning off in Biddeford for a trip to Peng's Pizza! Boy, what a great idea that was! We were able to park right out front of the store front. Before we got off of the Pike, we ordered 2 pizzas.....one cheese and one veggie. When my wife was finished ordering and before she was told how long it would be before pick-up, the clerk told her the total price ($53.22). When I heard the price, I almost went off the road but I would find out later that it was well worth every cent! I went in to watch the process, which I love to do. It was a pretty busy Sat evening, for sure. Only one size of pizza....all large. Pizza orders of 8, 4 and 5 were pumping out the kitchen! Three workers and one register clerk made up the staff. There are 4 small tables and chairs if you want to eat-in, as well. When our order finally came out, I was a bit hesitant. I am a fan of lightly cooked and no bubbles. The pizza, when it was being cut, looked charred up a bit and had a bubble or two. As I walked to the car, I was not very confident that things would turn out the way they did. When we each started to eat the pizza, we were both thrilled with everything.....crust, cheese, overall taste and cook-style! The veggie was "delicious" and the cheese pizza was in the Louie's class (Woburn, MA). Boy, were we happy! The price was a little high but very well worth it. You get what you pay for! Soda: no Pepsi/no Coke (see pic) Parking: on Main Street...seemed easy Price: a little high...but worth it Ambience: nice little spot Will I be back?: When in Biddeford....sure Stars: 5

Very different from Greek, New York and New Haven style pizza. Deliciously different from what we usually get in Portland. We ordered online but ate in the restaurant. The service was very good, friendly and knowledgeable. We had the Margarita pie and the Sausage and Broccoli Rabe pie. My husband is a pizza snob and he LOVED the broccoli rabe pie. Both pizzas were cooked perfectly with generous amounts of cheese. The margarita pie had just the right amount of basil. But the star of the show for us was the sausage/broccoli pie! We had never had broccoli rabe on a pie before. The broccoli rabe was tender, well seasoned, and had a floral note to it, the crust was chewy with just the right amount of char and the sauce added just the right acidity. The only thing we felt was lacking (slightly) was the sausage. It was so mild that you almost couldn't taste it. It was cooked well and no gristle at all - just lacking that sausage flavor that you expect when you order sausage on your pizza. Regardless we would and WILL order it again. We will definitely be back and strongly recommend Coletti's if you are in the area. If Coletti's is looking to expand - please come to Portland!

Their miso soup has become a regular part of my weekly routine (and by weekly, I mean multiple times a week).

Every hot dish we've ordered has been packed with flavor and arrives absolutely piping hot. The bento boxes, ginger steak bowl, and lo mein have all been consistently delicious. And the sushi? Fresh, generous, and stuffed to the brim. Honestly, the hardest part about Ichiban is convincing myself not to eat there several times a week. Save yourself the suspense--just go.

I love that the menu keeps things simple but still rotates in new specials, so there's always something fresh to try. The fish sandwich is the move if you want a classic: massive portion, packed with flavor, total bang for your buck. The squid marinara is my other go-to, lighter than the sandwich but just as satisfying every time. Even the fish and chips, which my friends usually order, come out in portions that feel almost too generous. It's got a laid-back, no-frills energy that fits the food perfectly. You order up at the counter, but they'll still bring everything to your table, and the staff keep checking back in without being asked. The bar area has its own charm, and once summer hits the outdoor tables turn into the best seat in the house on a sunny afternoon. Fair warning: the space is small, so weekend crowds can get tight, but it's worth the wait.
