Pizza was good, service was ok, no prices on anything in drink cooler and our bill was much higher than expected at check out. No bill given, just the screen they flash at you for a minute. Had to ask to have table cleaned off and for a box to go. I know getting good help is hard but at least smile and say thank you for coming would be nice read more

After reading some very good reviews and some not so good reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. The pizza was ready exactly as promised (15-20min). The service was prompt and friendly, and when we got it home, it was really good! There were plenty of toppings, I thought the tomato sauce was very good and it wasn't greasy at all, like many take out pizzas are. Happy with the experience and will be back! read more

Got the hot honey pepperoni goat, cheese, pizza OK but not great. Small is good size for two people. Also got the house salad with ranch dressing. Was premade sitting in the fridge. Overall good pizza spot nut nothing to write home about. 3.5/5 read more

Always a pleasure to eat here! Very good crust with generous toppings! Highly recommended! Nothing fancy but the food is great! read more

Pizza by Michael - Fabulous! The crust is very nice! - Pizza Near Me - Saco, Maine

I really like this place. It feels like a pizza place straight out of the 90s except only in the means of nostalgia not hygiene. There is quite a bit of seating inside. The pizza is thin crust and has a reasonable portion of toppings that keep it from getting weighed down or too wet - which is optimal for me personally. The service is fine, I can't recall anything negative or notable about it. read more

Not as good as the original owner's pizza. You can tell the toppings quality is lesser. Disappointed. Have to find another pizza place

Old school delicious and when cooked well done clearly superior to the once mighty legend, Alex Pizza. Hearty style Greek pie add sausage is an all knowing and perfectly filling flavor bomb. Amazing family vibe starting with now in heaven Grand Pa: MK. Family atmosphere. read more

Solid pizza place. Their pizza is Greek style, thicker crust and pizza. Cheese and sauce are good. My kids love this place. There are also subs, which are good too. The new owners have done a great job taking a traditional, staple business and making it a more modern pizza shop without losing its old charm. Inside is a step back into the 1980s and I'm here for it. read more

The description of this business refers to the ice cream as well as the pizza, so I'm writing the review here about ice cream only. I have nothing to say re pizza. I stopped by today, and they didn't seem ready to serve the public. I had to ring bell twice. First staff person couldn't really explain flavors or sizes and said he had something on the stove, so he quickly left. The second person was nice. The scoops are very small. Paper stuck to the sugar cone. It was not coming off, so I tossed it. The chocolate scoop had lots of crystals like not stored at right temp. Also, tasteless. Can't say much better for taste of the crunch ice cream. On the other hand, got a kiddie cup for my pup. Vanilla ice cream was right consistency and tasty. Price was right for kiddie cup. read more

First time ordering from Pizza by Michael, even though I have heard of this place for years and live close by. We decided to step out of our normal "pizza zone" tonight and ordered for take out. Friendly service, quality pizza and fair prices. I highly recommend the meatball sub - so, so good. read more

Been coming here since the seventy's ! Always my favorite ! New owners doing a great job! Just as good, maybe even better! Seems to look a lot like it always did which is great for my memory's ! read more

Family business in same location for 50 years says a lot! I've been coming here for 20 years and they consistently deliver quality homemade food each and every time. No fussy menu with fancy items, just simple honest food. No waitstaff but plenty of cozy seating. Super nice owners, friendly staff, low prices. Fresh homemade meatballs in the subs. The sauce is delicious. Do yourself a favor and try the Hot Oven Grinder! www.pizzabymichael.com My 3 fussy kiddos LOVE this place -they get their chocolate milk & pizza fix here! read more

Best Pizza in area, wonderful crust and ingredients, close to perfect, two drawbacks, no delivery,street parking ( busy street)

I may be labeled a pizza snob when people see I lived in NY for a decade, but I grew up in Portland. I spent my summers on OOB pizza like a great many of us did. Given the plethora of choices, I had managed to never come here before. Out for a family drive on dad's day off, we needed eats after a stressful experience. I wanted pizza so Yelp lead us here. The pizza itself was not bad. We got the correct food, as ordered. The staff was nice and the shop was clean. The mushroom (for the spouse who loves them) was declared unremarkable and slightly oily in an after taste way she didn't find grand. My extra cheese was indeed cheese loaded. For me this crust resembles pier slices. It is a tad more doughy and yes, more oil is obviously there. It is edible, it is not offensive, it was made properly and cooked all the way as it should be. A 10in small is a healthy "personal" serving and I did eat all of mine. Is there better pizza? Probably, but since all taste is subjective to the person eating it, this is certainly acceptable for the cost and quality of what you get. It is a neighborhood place and my only wish is that they offered by the slice instead of just pies. No other complaints. read more

This is not Micheal's anymore. Same name not the same food at all! I grew up eating there but won't die eating there.

Great pizza, super friendly staff, clean restaurant- what's not to love?! And much better than the other "Pizza by" place in Biddeford. I also love the fact that PbM is like going into a time machine- I love that it looks untouched (but NOT uncleaned) And fellow reviewers- why give an establishment a two star review that, when read, reads like a much better review? Who gives a flying F that you lived in NY for 10 years? And the fact that you just HAD to mention that reeks of conceit. GTFOH read more

Visited Portland for the long weekend and stumbled on this pizza place by accident. It was pouring outside so we ordered a basic large cheese and ate at one of the tables. Clean establishment, pizza came out quick, and it tasted pretty good too. read more

Pizza by Michael - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Saco, Maine

In the midst of COVID, a lot of places around here have been closing early so this was a happy mistake that we stumbled upon this pizza! We got a take out large pizza that was delicious! The crust was good, not too dry but not undercooked either! We were also very happy with the amount of toppings on the pizza. From the outside, it looked like a little hole in the wall, but my husband said it was quite pleasant inside when he went inside to pick it up. We would definitely order here again! read more

Great owner and staff. We loved the pizza. Definitely a place to return to. Reasonable priced we got the extra cheese and it was a so good.

Pizza is chewy, dough-ey and kind of greasy. Toppings were alright. This is "greek-style" pizza which absorbs far more grease than crispy, tossed to order Italian style pizza. The meatball sub was o.k. but the meat itself was heavily salted and oregano'd. The location itself is old school cool, similar vintage as Pizza by Alex up the street. I really wanted to like it but the pizza is lousy. read more

Great pizza!!! love the place, only been going for a few weeks, but now I can't go a week without getting a pizza from here.

Clean, prompt, courteous and delicious. Quality ingredients. Prepared in a timely manner.

Came here because of the great reviews of the meatball sub and they did not disappoint! It was so good that I had to come back the next day and get another one and a salami sub as well for later . The place smells great from the sauce that they use and the seating area is nice and cozy. read more

We visited Saco for the weekend and this was by far the best pizza I've had in a long time. Service was prompt, timely and pleasantly. We went with standard cheese and pepperoni pizzas for four adults and one picky toddler. Would seriously recommend!!! read more

We were in a pinch after a long day of moving and wanted to order a few simple pizzas for dinner. This was one of the only places open in the area (due to COVID and ordering around 7pm). Affordable and DELICIOUS pizza! The service was great as well. Pizza was ready within 15 minutes. read more

Literally the best pizza that I've had in Saco. Food is always quick, delicious, and I love the staff!

Lived in the area for 20 yrs and had never been. Never seems busy. Finally figured if they've been around so long I must be missing something. It's a pizza place for sure. They supply the topping list you decide the combos. No menu style pizzas. Crust was good. Wish the mushrooms were fresh. Will try again to make sure. read more

I don't know how somebody left such a positive review about their meatball sandwich. Perhaps, it was a family member. This past week I purchased their sandwich and was very disappointed with the presentation and value that I got for my money. Firstly, a sandwich is a pick up food. This thing was not able to be picked up as the bread was to flakey. The size of the bread was not consistent to be a sub or hero type bread. I was unable to determine if this bread was made by them or was it just a frankfurter roll stuffed with what they call meatballs. The meat appeared to be cut into pieces and may have been one meatball cut up into small pieces. The over all size of the sandwich was maybe 6 in. in overall length read more

We are from NY, pizza wasn't bad but not NY. I don't know if you can get pizza anywhere by ny so I don't know if I would order from them again or not. We did eat it all! read more

Other members of my family liked this pizza okay. It's a typical Maine-style pizza, which is what they were looking for. But I could only eat one slice. It was way too heavy on oregano, which is all I could taste. I am not too fussy about my pizza and usually enjoy just about anything, but unfortunately I loath too much oregano. Also, the crust was kind of floppy, the ham on top was still pink and not crisped, the cheese tasted bland, and the pineapple chunks were way too big and sloppy for a pizza. Basically just a convenience-store style pizza. I would not order again, but my family who are used to western Maine-style pizza liked it so I guess it just depends on what you're looking for. read more

Michael's Pizza is a solid 3.5. The cheese and sauce are good but I don't like the crust. It's like they use bread dough and it never gets crispy around the edges. We tried the pepperoni and the spinach and the toppings are nothing special. I like it better than TJ's and the Union House Pizza Pub, but the Saco House of Pizza and Loui's are better. We got the pizza to go so I can't comment on the atmosphere inside. read more

Not impressed. Ordered a large Michael's special pizza. The toppings were VERY finely minced and the pizza was thinly covered. The pizza had very little tomato sauce on it and it was very salty. My husband and I absolutely love pizza, yet neither one of had any desire to eat anymore of it after just one slice. read more
