A must try restaurant! I don't even like pizza anymore until I had a piece of their pie! It comes single serving only, and always ask your pie to be cooked in the old oven when you order because legend will say......It just tastes even betterer er rrr. They don't deliver because they simply don't have to, and it is always cash only. While you are awaiting your order browse around on there picturic walls and you will understand why they remain number#1! They haven't changed one thing in more years than most people aren't even born in. Some of their secret is cheddar cheeses, and their carefully selected ingredients. Their pepperoni for instance is so not like any other pizzeria, it is smaller but plentiful and way better tasting. SO WELL WORTH TRYING THEM OUT THOUGH. So picky and never disappointed! Highly recommend. read more

This is definitely a place that most locals call in as a favorite. Biddeford is not my home town but I have been there a few times. I like the pizza in the old oven the best, but if you are the first people in the door for lunch you will not get that option because it takes a while for the oven to heat up! Try just asking for yours done extra if you can't get it in the old oven! My favorite pizza is the Hawaiian for here...pineapple and ham is delicious but to each his own on toppings. They do have a small parking lot in the back if you can't find street parking! There are a limited amount of seats on the ordering side of the place but more on the other side but not sure if they open them or when? Overall, I know I will be back. If you are new to the area try it out or if you are just on vacation try it out as well! It is a cool hometowney place! read more

We have eaten Pizza by Alex for years. It is true - there are no salads, refills or plastic. The servers aren't even that friendly But I am a Addicted to a Greek YA Ya pizza. Spinach, Feta and onion Hum. Try it you'll be addicted too. read more

The best pizza I've ever eaten. I grew up near Alex Pizza and we used to go there at least once a week. I'd either get the pepperoni pizza or the pepperoni and mushroom pizza. I really love the crust and how perfectly the cheese melted. Go to Pizza by Alex. Get a pepperoni pizza, asked for it to be cooked in the old oven (trust me on this one), order up a root beer, and wait. 10 or 15 minutes later a perfect pizza comes out. Eat, think about ordering another one or plan when you will come back and be full and happy. read more

Visiting from Seattle and stumbled onto Pizza by Alex. Bar none, both my wife think this the best pizza we've had in years. The toppings were excellent and plentiful. Highly recommend!! read more

Okay...Let me try and explain the wonder of Pizza By Alex to those who have not tried it. This one restaurant is the primary reason I often go to Biddeford and it's delicious pizza brings me back over and over again. With that said its wonders may not be obvious to everyone. The restaurant looks like it was build in the 40s or 50s with a makeover in the late 1960s and then left unchanged. With the slight addition of a newer oven which most locals don't like as much, the dark wood paneling, the dated photos and older furniture leaves on guessing about the present owners. The style can't be described as "shabby sheek " it is something more like "lost in time." The choice of the menu is limited and the size of the pizza's are uniform, still they have something going...I call it, the value of doing one thing well. Their pizzas are great. I would classify this pizza as Greek style. In New England there are many pizza joints with the name, "House of Pizza" attached to them. These places are generally run by Greek families with Greek salads and Baklava always present. Alex's pizza look similar but do not be confused with the House of Pizza variety. I am not exactly sure what makes theirs better or different but it is a positive difference. The traditional Greek pizzas are usually overly laden with oil..while these are much lighter with a crunchier texture to their crust. I would not say that Pizza by Alex is the best in the Portland area...but it is a specific genre of pizza all to its own...and once tasted people are often hooked ...and find themselves craving to go back. P.S. They don't use credit cards so bring cash. read more

Probably the best personal size pizza joint I have ever been to! Would love to know how you make your dough and cook it, want to open one up in Sanford, North Carolina where we are visiting from. Loved it. If you are in the Saco Biddeford area look up this place, looks like a dive but eats are first class. read more

Pizza by Alex - Pep and salami. GOOD! - Pizza Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

The first thing that got me about the location is not really in the greatest areas. After walking in the envirenment was nice and small and the service was very friendly and quick to help you. The menu prices can be a little more than you would want to spend for a personal pan pizza sized pizza, "about $10" but the smell alone makes your wallet open up and fork out the money. I ordered the special which was the works with pepperoni, salami, onions, black olives and green peppers. The taste was amazing, probably one of the most unique pizza I have had. It was a little salty but I think it was because of the mixture of the salami, pepperoni and black olives. The crust was a really good pan crust, not thick like that greasy pizza hut crust but a thinner version and still had a nice crunch and chew. A+ for me with that. So we also got it to go, so they packed the pizza between two paper plates which was nice because it sucked up a lot of the grease from the crust. So if you are dining in, I am not sure how yours compares. If I were to reccomend them I would definitely do so, just not a every day event because of price. But have it as a special occasion. read more

I grew up in Biddeford, and Pizza by Alex has and always will be my FAVORITE pizza EVER!! I live 380 miles away now, and my FIRST stop when I go back "home" is ALWAYS Alex Pizza!! Pepperoni, bacon and sausage!! read more

First time getting pizza here. There is only a single, personal size pizza. We ordered a hamburger with extra cheese, a cheese, a pepperoni, and a Alex's special. Everything came out great. Extra cheese ended up too cheesy and meessy. Minor complaints - Our drink order was messed up and because of how busy it was, it took calling couple times to get through to place order (cannot place order in person). Look forward to getting more pizzas here. read more

So the last 3 or 4 time we've gone the crust has been soft and almost wet. I've thrown it in the oven to make it crispier and that works. But I want to now what's up. I've heard a lot of rumors lately about the ownership that I hope is not true. The pizza is definitely not as good as it used to be. We'll still go only because my wife insists on it. But seriously, quality has gone downhill. read more

I live in Haverhill Ma, which has approx. twenty pizza locations. When I want a great pizza, I drive to Biddeford, ME. to get a Pizza by Alex. All they serve is pizza, one size only and the phone is always ringing off the hook. Wish they were in Haverhill, I could save myself a quarter tank of gas and $12 in tolls. read more

This is a no-frills, counter service, pizza shop. I saw it on a list of 60 great eats in southern Maine. Pizzas are one size, about as big as a large dinner plate, and Greek style. Although I don't prefer this style of pizza, I enjoyed it. I ordered mine with ham and pineapple. It was well under $10 for 2 toppings. read more

Pizza by Alex - Pizza Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

I'm in Kennebunkport for a long weekend, then Monday my wife and I wanted pizza. The loal pizza shops were closed, so I checked Yelp for some ideas. Found Alex with great reviews. As a New Yorker, I didn't have high hopes for Maine pizza. We ordered 2 personal pies (they don't make large pies) and they were delicious as other yelpers had posted. The crust was crispy, sauce delicious and they were nice people. I highly recommend Pizza By Alex! read more

Driving in from Philly, staying in Saco, hungry. We always use Yelp and it almost never fails. This place is ok, we had 2 Alex Specials, 2 plain. Drinks 1 small, 2 medium, 1 large $44.00. Little pricey for 4 personal sized pizzas. The Alex Specials were ok, the plain pies were bad unless you like Ellio's with burnt cheese. If you are from Philly or NY you won't even call this pizza. Cash only, ATM next to counter. Staff not real friendly, busy talking to each other. Won't be back. read more

100% 5 stars this place is awesome. Their pizza is great. Choose the old oven it is delicious.

Always loved this pizza from the first time I tried it. They make all their pizzas individual size. And the crust and edges are always nice and crisp. Sauce and cheese are okay. The toppings is what makes it special. Alex's has been here for a long time and will continue to be here. Consistency is key to any food joint and they've been consistently good for decades. read more

Consistent, affordable, and yummy. If your craving pizza Alex is always a good choice. If I make a special request they always accommodate it. What more could one ask for? :) read more

Best pizza in New England. Great thin crust pizza traditional style or modern gourmet. All the add ons you can imagine and expect from pepperoni to anchovy's and everything in between. You can't go wrong here. But don't look for deep dish or chezzy crust you won't find it just real New York style Neapolitan pizzas and nothing else. Enjoy read more

Pizza is delicious but and very consistent but a bit pricey.These guys have been a staple in Biddeford for many years

Overrated and overpriced. Basic greasy and salty. Locals love it. There are many better options for pizza in the Biddeford/Saco area.

My husband's favorite pizza place for over 50 years! Every time we come to Maine - this place is a must!! Always great, never greasy and ppl who run this place are always very friendly. read more

Unenjoyable. Greasy, salty pizza with barely any sauce. Mainly just bread. Just food that is not healthy and does not go down very well. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Amazing, 5* crust. However, the actual core of the pizza was lackluster, and the fact that they don't take card was a big disappointment, especially considering there was no sign or anything warning about that. Also, while I wasn't disappointed by the lack of choices for pizza size and the fact it's cooked in a conveyor belt, I know some might be for sure. So 3*. Edible, but not raveable. read more

Pizza by Alex - Pizza Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

The pizza is good, don't get me wrong. But the service is very lacking. When I call in and order, they never tell me the price before hanging up. The varied order-takers tend to sound distracted; several times earlier in my experience with PbA, they got the orders wrong, so now I make sure they repeat everything back. The prices aren't too bad, and the taste is definitely good. But they only take cash (they have a for-fee ATM in the restaurant), they don't deliver, and there aren't really any other options on the menu aside from pizza. They're not really throwing in enough extras (service or selection). I'll probably keep getting the pizza, but I don't recommend it if there's a better option closer to you. read more

Pizza by Alex is always amazing! The locals know to ask for their pizza cooked in the old oven. But honestly, I don't think the oven makes a big difference anymore. The new oven is broken in pretty good now. I can tell which oven they used for my pizza, but thoroughly enjoy every bite no matter what! My only complaint is that the prices are a little high. But I suppose just like anything else, you get what you pay for! read more

Alex pizza in the old oven, please! Nothing like it. It has something special. My family has been eating at Alex since the 60s. I've been enjoying it for the last 10 yrs or so. I was late in the game becoming an Alex Pizza fan but now I'm in. I always get the pineapple (no ham), in the old oven & it's one of a kind for sure. They have pizza & only pizza, one size & cash only. I'm sure I will be enjoying many more Alex pizzas! read more

I will admit, I am not a native of Biddeford. However, I heard so much about this pizza that I figured we had to try it. I was less than impressed. These small pizzas are just ok, with a very sharp tasting sauce and cheese that simply did not taste like any combination of cheese I have ever had on a pizza that I enjoyed. The other ingredients were just ok. I think this is the kind of pizza that you love if it is what you are used to, but to an outsider, this isn't anything to write home about. To be honest, I would just as rather buy a celeste pizza from the grocery as get Alex's Pizza. read more

It is what it is, old style personal pizzas, but I like it! The place has never been updated but it works. This is not gourmet pizza but it's fun and its kinda good. Only one size, call ahead. read more

Best pizza I've ever had - we have a summer house in Saco and it's guaranteed that we visit at least twice each time we're there! As someone who rarely carries cash, I do have to remind myself to stop at an ATM before we go to Alex's, but it's a minor inconvenience. read more

I honestly don't know how anyone cannot LOVE this pizza. They are small personal sized pizzas cooked to perfection. Ask to get it cooked in the "old oven"...it is even better!The crust has a super yummy crispy taste to it. I can't find another pizza that has the taste that this crust has. I always get a mushroom and olive pizza and love that they don't use those canned black olives but what I like to call "real olives"..yummy. You can even get par-baked ones to take home and stick in the freezer for cooking and eating later. This place has been around forever and they are old school. They even still use the old 60's cash register...LOL! My parents are snowbirds in FL and the last meal they eat before leaving is always Alex pizza and the first one the have when they return is Alex Pizza. I love this place and grew up on it! read more

HANDS DOWN. A Maine attraction... pun and all. I grew up always coming to Alex pizza and even came here a few times before or after school dances to get a wood fired pepperoni pizza! Anytime I come home [I live out of state now] and we decide on Pizza... I insist we come to Alex's. The perfect size for one person and cooked just right. The crust has a nice crunch and the pizza itself a dash bit more than usual of salt to make those taste buds salivate. They don't sell much beyond the pizza and soda... but why would they? You don't need anything further than their personal pizzas to make your meal! read more

Some of the most amazing service and pizza in town! If it were free I'd go daily. Great pizza at a good price. I've never been disappointed with this place. It's always in great shape and it has always had a great home feel to it. read more

Cash only. Pizza was delicious and crispy. Seems to have only one size cut into 8 slices. They use two large cardboard style plates as packaging in a paper bag which I thought was cool. Service was quick and the young girl at the register was very nice. read more

I've been having Alex Pizza my entire life and it's literally what I base all my other pizza opinions on. lol It's the best, period. I will never get the whole "oh it's gone downhill" or "old oven vs. new oven". I love it. Period. And I eat the whole thing. #sorrynotsorry I love that you go in there and it's always the same - like a time capsule. I can't imagine it being any different. I did wish they'd deliver but that's my only "complaint", if you'd even call it that. It will always be my fave and have a special place in my heart. read more

The pizza was very good for personal pizzas and at a good price. The place can be very busy though so unless you want to sit and wait for a hAlf hour call in your order ahead. read more

They do one thing, and they do it well, for cash. Probably a front for money laundering but I don't care because the pizza is so good damn good. read more

I've been going here since the 70's. It's just as good now as it was back then. By far the best around!

This is Biddeford's signature pizza place! They've been a part of the town's community for generations and haven't changed, it's like stepping into a time machine. I honestly consider this place the town's local flavour when it comes to pizza. They serve personal greek-style pizza and have their own distinct taste and crispy texture compared to other typical pizzas, they're definitely worth a visit to sit down for a nice little meal. read more

The best pizza in Maine!! Always fast and friendly. Would really like if you could use a debit card, I don't always have cash on me. I understand that there is an ATM in the dining room but I don't like to pay the fees. read more
