Great dining experience here. The ambiance is wacky and fun. I love the unique cocktails and that you can get them in a wide range of sizes, including enormous. Our pizzas were tasty. My only complaint was that when we ordered garlic knots as an appetizer, there were only four of them on a large plate. It would have been helpful to demarcate that on the menu, because I feel like the normal assumption is that you'll get six or eight garlic knots when you order them at other restaurants. Would return, nevertheless. Lots of parking, and the place was hopping. read more

I think people commenting on the decline of Pappy's Pizza are the old school local customers who have been going there year after year and they want quality and consistency from their favorite Greek pizza dive. I can now see why their complaints are founded, read on.... I would go to Pappy's for the unique flavor, the sauce, the crust, the whole pie was unique to Manchester and delicious to boot. I've been going for years without compromising quality. BUT NOT ANYMORE, SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO PAPPY'S I've been around long enough to know new owners tend to be in it for the money, they wanna recoup their investment, stay on top of rising cost and all the other pitfalls of small business ownership. I get it, but really? I'd rather be served a smaller portion than the huge hubcap POS that was slid across the counter disguised as pizza. Inch by inch, substitution after substitution, slowly their pizza has become gas station fare. It tasted like pizza from some sloppy college town dive that pushed out, quantity over quality to drunk frat boys any given Saturday night. The mixed reviews are just the start of their ultimate failure. Unless of course they can bring back what was. Just my 2 cents, take from it what you will. read more

I decided to revisit Pappy's for the first time in several years after hearing consistently negative feedback from friends and colleagues. I wanted to see for myself whether those criticisms were warranted. Overall, the experience was positive. The customer service was excellent, and the food was good, though slightly on the expensive side--$18 for a footlong steak and cheese sub. While there were some differences compared to my previous visits, the changes were not significant. It appears that much of the criticism may stem from resistance to change rather than a decline in quality. In my opinion, the establishment does not deserve the level of negativity it has received under new ownership. I would not hesitate to return. read more

What a wonderful pizza place that has been in buisness for over 40 years! I got to talk to the owner who has worked at Pappy's since he was a kid, building pizza boxes. He had now taken over and renovated the restaurant, but has kept the old fashioned charm. The pizza was really yummy, the crust, and sauce recipes have never changed, and made in-house, since it opened decades ago. The steak tip steak bomb sandwich is to die for! Made in-house and so tender, it makes my mouth water, wanting another right now. Service was wonderful and personal. You don't see that often anymore. You can sit outside on the patio, even on rainy days like today. They have big umbrellas and with the light rain it was a perfect spot. Definitely a goto spot for us now! read more

Trash food - EXPENSIVE - dirty kitchen staff, I mean really 6-8$ for a slice of pizza? Not to mention the taste, I'd rather eat lil Caesar's

Why did you change the original chicken stir fry wrap???? It was great before! Gross I threw it out! Broccoli? Huh? And what's the funky sauce? I quit going because I gave you three chances and it was always messed up. My husband surprised me not knowing I don't enjoy your food anymore. You are definitely consistent. read more

They need to read the directions on the orders. My sub was not toasted, had no bottom the steak, was falling out of it I had no onions and I had a few peppers. I think they also forgot the cheese LOL on a cheese steak. I threw this mess in the dumpster. More wasted money read more

Ordered a cheese pizza, but what arrived was a soggy, greasy mess with a big surprise of long hair under the crust!!! The dough was undercooked, the cheese was a congealed blob, and the whole thing tasted like disappointment. Finding that hair was the final straw--absolutely disgusting. Never ordering from this place again. One star is generous. read more

Pizza was good, it had a nice crunch and char on the crust. Service is really good, friendly staff, the interior is well decorated and gives this 80s diner vibe, which was quite a pleasant surprise for a pizza shop. I recommend read more

This was as far as the worst pizza I ever tasted, 1 hour later was the wait I ordered two large pies- 1 large cheese and 1 large pepperoni , with a Cesar salad, Immediately looking at the pizzas it looked reheated, it was dry pizza sauce and cheese was cold slightly warm, it wasn't cheesey or hot, My salad wasn't cold didn't have the crisp in fresh It was warm. Room temperature, the Parmesan cheese was melted. (I didn't eat) This order wasn't worth $50.00 . Maybe then again if it was hot pizza and cold salad just maybe but wouldn't recommend way over hyped read more

Pizza to go for dinner this time. A good call by my husband. The service was quick - it was ready at the promised time and a friendly, smiling associate gave a sincere thank-you. Sounds simple, but often forgotten these days. The ingredients were noticeably fresh, especially the sauce. I honestly don't know if it's made in house, but it was the right blend of tangy, spice and sweet to complement the classic toppings. Much preferred over the franchise chains. Give 'em a shot for your family's next quick dinner! read more

Italian sub was pretty solid, recommend getting the oil. The steak and cheese was quite poor though, you could've told me there was no cheese on there and I would've believed you. I expected better from "Famous steak and cheese"! Market basket has a better steak and cheese for half the price. read more

So I returned to get a refund from the prior day service. I sitting quietly waiting for the manager, one of the waitresses turns around a yells " whats you're problem today " ? I repeat calmly Im waiting for the manager. I finally get my refund from prior day. The manager tell me he cant't doing anything about the associates behavior because the labor market is tight. I would avoid this restaurant completely, bad food, poor service, and management lacking leadership read more

Went there for a first time today and will never go back Ordered two slices of pizza and two drinks... almost 19 dollars after the 15% tip Was told they have slices What they don't say is it's cold pizza in a box they reheat.. so I wait, I could deal with that if it was good She comes out and realizes when she hands it to me that they heated two cheese and I ordered a cheese and a p epperoni She goes back in the kitchen... again not an issue, she realized it before I did... What I have a problem with... the chef put a cold stiff piece of pepperoni pizza in the box without even heating it Not warm... literally old fully cold stiff pizza!! I got to the car and realized and was floored I walked back in and was asked if I wanted a warm one.. Almost $19 for two isn't fresh slices and that kind of person in the kitchen... Horrible experience.. try market basket for a slice of pizza...WAY better option in the area read more

Food is amazing but service was even better never had such amazing service with a toddler please consider supporting this local business!

New Owners/renovations but at what cost? Rude front of house staff whispering and commenting on customers after they leave counter or sit down. Nothing unusual in the restaurant industry but may don't do it front of house when you just reopened. With new ownership comes a new look. Nice renovations but at what costs? Seems to have loss previous family atmosphere that kept this place charging along for 30+ years, always a standard of comfort at decent prices. Now for a 9 inch steak and cheese on an untoasted bun and fries, it's going to run you up $20- not relative cost of living to a place like Manchester. Food still had signature taste but there are better/healthier options for $20 or less. A bit sad and disappointing. Really not worth it for an unwelcoming atmosphere and pricey small steak and cheese. Maybe next time, adjust the pricesC and adjust the vibes. read more

Pappy's Pizza & Subs - Regular steak and cheese and fries ($20) - Pizza Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Pappy's has been under new management for quite a while now. My family used to get takeout from there all the time. Since their re-opening, we've given them three tries, and sadly it's just not good. We've tried pizza, burgers, salad, calzone, mozzarella sticks...all of it has been disappointing. I'd love to be able to write a good review, because this used to be a favorite. read more

I recently moved to Manchester, so I thought I'd try Pappy's as it's nearby. The first time I ordered a Gyro sandwich. I paid extra to get the 12 inch, instead of the 9 inch. When I got home I saw that I had a 9 inch Gyro. The second time I ordered a 14 inch sausage pizza. I placed the pizza box on the back seat and drove home. When I got home and opened the box, I couldn't believe the mess. The cheese was very thick and runny, like a thick soup. About a third of the cheese/topping had slid off the pie. I have ordered pizza many times over the decades, but I have never seen a pizza like this. It was like taking a bite of a big piece of thick, half-melted cheese. Terrible. Obviously, Pappy's Pizza has untrained employees, with little oversight. They have lost me as a customer. Next, I will try their competition, Pizza 911. read more

We've been to Pappy's a number of times -- it would be more often if we lived closer -- and have very much enjoyed their apps, sandwiches, and dinners. Today we decided to try the pizza... and we were very pleased with it! Honestly, in fact, one of the best we've had in a long, long time! We opted for the "deluxe" (number 1) in the 20 in. size. It was enormous! Loaded with fresh toppings, and absolutely delicious! Needless to say, a lot of it came home! Our server - a very pleasant older lady - was on the ball and very helpful. Only (minor) complaint... I thought the onion ring serving was a tad small for the price. But overall, a great lunch at a very fair price! read more

Order or dine in at least once a month, love the food. 2 times now I have ordered out and my meal was incomplete! This time I ordered chicken parmigiana dinner and I did not receive the not bread and there was no cheese on my parmigiana. I think the prices are high and you should get what you order! I called and complained but did not want to drive back to (fix) my order and I was told everything was there! Check your orders before you leave, or be sorry! read more

Way to expensive for a pizza joint. Did not like the onion rings. Seemed to be frozen? Asked for well done French fries. Not even close. Waitress was nice. 50 bucks for a small steak and cheese and chicken finger plate with tip is crazy! read more

So sad where this place has become. Used to be the go to neighborhood pizza place and is now just an over priced pizza shack. We were verbally assaulted by the owner after the establishment over unwarranted claims. It's too bad because this place used to be our go to place. Mr. Pappas would be as shamed read more

Stopped in for a beer after work. Great service as well as one of the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. To gorgeous to be working there, should be model or actress. Future star when she gets discovered. read more

Second time we have gone to Pappy's and both times have been less than stellar. The first time we ordered, we were told to pick up in twenty minutes. My husband went to pick up and they didn't even have our order. He had to wait an additional 20 minutes while they fixed their mistake. I figured it was just a busy night. Decided to give them another chance. The second time we ordered we got two subs and a fry. Nothing crazy. My husband comes home without the fries. Had to call and let them know their mistake again and had to get refunded for the fries. Two mistakes on two different occasions. We won't be back. Update: 3/20/24 Never got refunded, in fact they charged us for another fry. lol at this point it's almost comical. Not even going to bother to call or I'm sure they will charge us again. read more

Just picked up our $20 Steak Bomb sub. Shocking!!! Half of what it use to. New owners really have cut back on what they serve. Very disappointed as it was always our go to. And when we opened it up, it was just a steak and cheese, not a steak bomb. read more

We were passing thru on the way to airport headed home to Arizona and looked on my typically trusted Yelp app for a place to eat lunch. Pappys did not come up. We started at the south end of town driving up Elm street. Nothing looked appealing until we reached the end and saw the sign, Pappy's Pizza and Subs. We are glad we made the stop. Food and service was great! We had a pizza with pepperoni, recotta, with hot honey drizzle and crispy buffalo wings. All tasted amazing. I also had a couple sangrias which were quite tasty. Highly recommend this place. read more

Went there for lunch 11/01/23. Place was pretty well packed. Food was fine, but what was frustrating was, there were two young healthy girls behind the counter chatting away, while a 70 + yrs old waitress was running around all by herself like a chicken with its head cut off... unbelievable!! read more

Our recent dining experience left much to be desired. The pizza, regrettably, failed to meet our expectations. It was excessively greasy and not fresh. Like it had been left behind, sitting under a dim warming light for days. The other menu items, we suspect, were not crafted in-house but rather appeared to be store-bought, placed in the freezer, and reheated when ordered, such as the chicken parm sub. To make the already bad experience worse, our server's attire looked more like she belonged serving at Hooters, and her language that was saltier than the pizza, was not in line with the expected decorum of a family dining setting. In addition, the presence of techno music disrupted the ambiance we had anticipated for a leisurely afternoon lunch, instead imparting the atmosphere of a nightclub. In sum, our visit did not align with the standard of the dining experience we had in mind, and improvements in various aspects of the experience are undoubtedly in order. Make fresh food to order, instill a dress code, and train the staff on professionalism and customer service. In essence, neglecting staff training, not using fresh ingredients, and the choice of music in your dining environment can lead to a decline in customer satisfaction and reputation damage. These elements are crucial for creating a positive and memorable dining experience that encourages repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals. read more
