    Puffy pizza
    Jamie B.

    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

    Fabulous! The crust is very nice!

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

    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!

    Sm extra cheese (10in)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Best pizza in the area hands down. I wished they offered some sort of delivery options however.

    Great pizza and subs! I love the crust. The meatball sub is amazing. The staff is super nice, and I will definitely be going back regularly!

    If you like pizza heavily dosed with basil, you might like this pizza. Same recipe for at least 40 years I'm guessing!

    While I miss the old Rover Bagel where we could watch the bagels being made and have a seat while…read morewe eat, I still enjoy being able to get a soft fresh bagel. The bagels are about as fresh as you can get, soft and chewy! We placed our order on line and pickup was easy at the window. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    When you enter a low rating, it asks what could improve. Reading the order and making the correct…read moreorder would be an improvement. I had wanted to add pickled onion but saw it was $1.95, so I skipped that. We both got sea salt bagels, cream cheese-requested on the side, and add ons of bacon, at $2 each bagel. We received 1 bagel with bacon. Cream cheese was on the bagels and it was very little, parts of my bagel had no cream cheese at all. I guess that's why it wasn't on the side because then it would have been a decent amount. I kind of feel bad writing bad reviews and complaining, but I tipped them 15% and everything is so expensive now (ie. the pickled red onions). The bagels were $7.90 each for a bagel, very minimal cream cheese and bacon add on. I was going to leave 2 stars but the bagels were edible & 1 of the bagels was almost the correct order, & when my husband called & told them, they said they would refund our $2, so I landed on a 3. Hopefully we do get the refund because we don't have it as of writing this. I just wish I could re-do the tip amount. It's like giving a reward for not doing your job-anyhow, check your orders before you leave! Even though we live in Biddeford, we will be getting our bagels at Forage in Portland in the future.
