This place is just incredibly mid. The breadsticks were just dough with some garlic on it. Stopped eating them after a few and just threw them out. The pizza is ok if you like a doughier crust. The ingredients taste fresh and you can taste some of the herbs they use in the sauce which is nice. I would get it again since food options are limited but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone . Service was fine, seems they'd prefer if you order ahead . We were traveling and didnt know that. They seemed almost annoyed that we wanted to order to go without placing a take out order ahead of time. Pizza took about 25-30 minutes which is perfectly fine but just something to note. The inside of the restaurant is pretty dirty , definitely gives local pizza joint vibes. Overall not terrible food but below average read more

Ponzetti's Pizza & Subs - Half cheese half pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

See all

Hoagie, Grinder, Hero, Sub, Whatever part of the country you hail from, these slang terms translate to more or less the same thing. Piled with cold cuts, cheeses, and brine-infused condiments on a crusty bread loaf, the mouthwatering sandwich has endured as the grab-and-go lunch through generations of American life. The mighty meal of a tailgate party or lazy day at the beach.  The subs at Ponzetti's are built on a foundation of flavorful meats and cheese with your choice of toppings! I ordered the whole Italian sub. The bread was soft, the amount of meat was a bit lacking for my taste, and the seasoning was great. Overall, the Italian sub was good and hit the spot for my lunch craving! I also ordered a small fry to go along with it! Oh, and don't forget the drink being born into a Pennsylvania Dutch household, I definitely had to get us a large Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer! I'd say overall, this is a pretty good place to get a sub! When you walk in, it looks and smells just like the old Italian sub shops I would go to near Philadelphia growing up. I couldn't tell you about the pizza other than they looked great coming out of the oven, and people were picking them up left and right! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful while taking our order and dealing with other customers while we were waiting. So, if you are looking for a place to grab a quick bite to eat, stop by Ponzetti's, and give them a try! read more

Ponzetti's Pizza & Subs - Italian sub - Pizza Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

Best pizza in all of Salisbury! Been going here for years, and it never disappoints. Priced reasonable and great service. Can't ever go wrong with Ponzetti's! read more

Best pizza ever! They are the standard! I've traveled the country and haven't found any other quite as good in 40 years of looking.

Great pizza every time .taste the same as it did 49 years ago and is one of the only places that you know has not changed

Ponzetti's, what has happened to you? I got the worst pizza yesterday that I have ever had. They clearly burned the pizza and then served it. We were so tired after my driving all day and my husband working outside in the heat, and I didn't want to embarrass my daughter but I should have said something. I wish I had that $37 back, it was a big waste of time and money. I could barely choke down a piece. Also, the place is filthy. Really the health department should pay them a visit. They used to have great pizza here but those days are over. And no one else was there, there were 2 or 3 cooks back there and they serve us a decent pizza. Very disappointed. read more

The pizza is the best in Salisbury and is consistently the same The same people working there for years which is a positive. read more

What can I say? I was wanting pizza. Spur of the moment I stopped in. It had thin crust--good. I ordered pepperoni, mushrooms, & olives. And a small drink to go with my small pizza. The tea was very good. I've not ever had a pizza this oily. The mushrooms are canned. The pepperoni had very good flavor. It was $16 & some change. I don't think I'll be back. read more

New York girl here, we're always on the out look for a good pizza and this cheese pizza did not disappoint. The crust had a nice little air bubbles in it. The cheese was fresh and the sauce had actual taste to it. We tend to find here in Maryland, the sauce doesn't usually have much seasoning in it . I highly recommend and I will definitely be back to get more pizza. read more

They are not telling you they had to close due to covid!!! If you bought food there while a young man worked there be careful he was the spreader. They say they are going to clean and open Monday bit i would be leary you can still see the corn starch for the pizzas out. Just be leary and warned!!!! read more

This is the best place around here to get pizza,subs, and wings. I grew up with them and absolutely adore them still. Their hot wings and philly cheese steak subs are my absolute favorites to get. If you're not sure what to get here i recommend: a philly cheese steak with everything on it extra hot peppers extra oil and vinegar. Pound of hot wings with extra sauce, breadsticks, and a pizza with whatever topping u want! The owner is super kind as well, I'm glad salisbury has a place like this. read more

Tasty pizza for sure. It looks like a convenience store from the outside, but the food is quite good. I got a pepperoni and sausage pizza to go. Would definitely go back. read more

Amazing pizza. Totally worth every cent I paid. The real deal. This is a real pizzeria, not a junk joint. Absolutely delicious. My first time here. Just moved to Salisbury, and I wanted a real pizza. Perfect. read more

Love the Strombolis from here and their pizza as well. Always stop here whenever I travel back home.

I ordered four large pizzas Pepperoni, Cheese, Vegetable, and white pizza for work luncheon $65.00 Hoping four different types of pizza would make everyone's palate happy. We all agreed that they are best at making cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza only!!! REPEAT ONLY CHEESE AND PEPPERONI. The white and vegetable pizza had plenty of leftovers and no one wanted to take home to their families. WOW We couldn't even give the pizza away! The white pizza was dry and bland. No flavor. The Vegetable pizza tasted of frozen broccoli and canned mushrooms. This was not the fresh vegetable pizza I had envisioned. The sauce is sweet and tastes like industrial canned tomato sauce/sludge with sugar added. The tell tale sign of cheap cheese being used was the amount of pizza grease pouring out with each bite. I folded the pizza in half and squeezed the grease out. The crust is thin and has a slightly burnt crust taste. The pizza reminds me of cheap FAIR AND Carnival type pizza without the budget pricing. read more

I've been eating at Ponzetti's, in either Ocean City or Salisbury, for 59 years! I have fond memories of watching them toss the dough in the air when I was just a little boy. Now days, I visit the Salisbury location, and the pizza is still my favorite! The sauce is light and not bitter, with just the right blend, and amount of cheeses. I also love that they still put the pepperoni on after the pizza comes from the oven. Seems less greasy, to me. I only wish there was a location closer to where I live! Unfortunately, I can't review their subs as favorably. This review is strictly based on their pizza, which in my, and my family's opinion, is the best ever! Please open a restaurant in Accomack County VA! read more

This place is the best thing from the east. I highly recommend.I had a large sausage and my hubby was salivating when I got home.

Ordered for first time in a while, pizza was a soggy mess, tasted even worse. To their credit , the manager sent the delivery guy back to get them and issued a refund read more

Ponzetti's Pizza & Subs - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

Went there with two friends on a Sunday afternoon. Walked up to the counter, there were three employees - 2 on the left counter chatting with a customer and one on the grill cooking a cheesesteak. There was nobody in front of us. We stood at the counter and went unacknowledged for 10 minutes, even though every single employee looked directly at us at some point during the 10 minutes we were waiting. Nobody said a word or offered to take our order, asked us to take a seat, said how long the wait would be or ackowledged our existence in any way. They seem to dislike their customers and don't seem to want to do their jobs. Weird. We just walked out. read more

I think putting the sauce on top of the cheese is the secret to why Ponzetti's Pizza is so good. With the sauce on top it gets concentrated by the heat and boosts the flavor. And without a watery tomato sauce soaking into the crust it stays crispier. My theory anyway read more

Got a large pizza. Extra cheese and extra pepperoni. Best pizza I've had in a long while! We are from Pasadena and have a place on the nanticoke and were craving pizza. I am so glad we found this place on the maps app on my phone. We will definitely be back! The crust was crispy and good! The sauce was amazing. I'm a pizza lover and the sauce will make or break it. I have zero complaints. And the employees were super sweet as well! read more

Excellent pizza!!!! The cheese has a fantastic flavor. The crust is thin and it is also hand tossed. We always order cheese - nothing else needs to be added. When a pizza shop knows how to make a cheese pizza- the most basic- they know pizza!! Bar Stool sports needs to visit!!! read more

It's a very good NY style pizza. I stop in here for dinner every time I'm in Ocean City.

Very rude service on the phone, and they do not have anything that is listed on their website. Used to be my parent's favorite spot, but after this experience and seeing the most recent reviews, it is clear that things have gone way downhill, and we will not be trying again. Thanks for nothing! read more

I think it's about the best pizza in the 'bury. It's always the same. Cooked perfect and is always ready when I get there to pick it up. Lotta people complain on here - well not me. Consistently exactly how it's supposed to be. Every time I go there. When I go in I am friendly and everybody is friendly back. Thanks read more

Place is worn and hot but the pizza is a nice change from bad version of NY style pies or Domino mass trash Thin crust with sweet sauces dr from scratch Perfect place to a large pie and eat in a booth with friends or family. Just wish they clean it up I mean the signage has to be over twenty years old read more

This place has one of the best pizzas in MD in my opinion. It is easily one of the best multi-location pizza places I've ever been to, along with Grotto and (to a lesser extent) Dough Roller. The flavor of the sauce and cheese are outstanding! The crust and dough are very thin, which is a matter of preference. I love it, but it's a bit messy / floppy. Not a bad pizza for those of us who don't mind busting out a fork and knife. The only complaints I could level are that the pizza is a bit lacking in structural integrity, and it doesn't travel too well. It's best eaten as soon as it's cool enough to handle. That being said, it's *amazing* leftover. If you like cold pizza, do your thing, but my recommendation is to heat it up on the stove in a frying pan with a lid on medium/mid-high. That way the bottom gets nice and crispy like the slices you order on the boardwalk! I've also had the steak and cheese here once or twice - I remember liking it, but the pizza is the stuff dreams are made of! If you have room for a sub, it means you didn't eat enough pizza! read more

What a waste of money. $26.00 for a soggy pizza..with little crust. This place was recommended to me by s co-worker. I now have to go back and tell him how disappointed I am with the pizza. Oh well..you got me once..never again..not worth it. read more

Unlike what Lisa S is saying in her review, she got completely false information. They closed due to a family member passing away, not because of covid. I'm not sure who she got that information from, but it was not covid. Don't let Lisa ruin your experience at this restaurant, their food is amazing and I have always loved this place since I was younger. They have amazing customer service also. read more

Nice hole in the wall spot. They have several things from sandwiches to wings and pizzas. I got a pepperoni pizza and a cheese steak . Pizza was my style and good quality: I didn't care as much for the cheesesteak but it was decent. read more

The worse food my son and I ever had. The place is dirty and gross. It needs alot of work done. The cheese steaks taste awful. When you tell them they don't want to fix it. read more

Pizza is DELICIOUSSSSS. First time eating there today. Got the veggie pizza and toPicked up pizza and was ready at the time I was told.

They have the WORST customer service ever !!!! We placed an order for delivery, and 50 minutes later when it had not arrived, I called to see if I could come and get it myself. The lady who answers the phone ( they never give their names) told me the driver had just left with my order. Well another 15 minutes goes by and still no order, so I call again and ask if I can just come pick it up. The same lady tells me to hold on and then some guy gets on the phone ( did not give me his name) and tells me that he has not even started making my order, I explained that it had now been over an hour from when I first called and he said,well I'm busy . I said please cancel my order and I would like to stop by and get a receipt showing the credit to my credit card. He said that he didn't have time to do that because he had subs to make. I said, all I want is a receipt showing that I have not been charged. He laughed and said again that he was busy. I said sir, this is the worst customer service ever and I hope you do not do this to anyone else. I would not recommend ordering from this business, go to little Caesar's they are CHEAPER, nicer and you don't have to wait. read more

This place has very good pizza. That point alone is what kept us, my family of 5, from walking out the door when presented with incredibly terrible customer service. The cashier was very rude and clearly did not want to be there judging from her tone, the look she gave us, and all the sighing, huffing, and puffing she was doing. The total came to somewhere around $50 for pizza and drinks. I would've gladly paid more to go elsewhere and be better treated if the kids didn't already have their heart set on this place. read more

I have been eating at Ponzetti's since they opened in Salisbury. consistently great pizza. Best in the town. Might even beat all the pizza places in Ocean City. I currently drive over 3 hours to get to Salisbury to visit friends and family and Ponzettis is always my first stop. Reasonable prices. quick service. Great product read more

Been eating at Ponzetti's Pizza since I was a kid. Has to be the best pizza joint on the Eastern Shore. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. I moved away from home years ago but everything I come back to visit, I have to stop at Ponzetti's and get a pizza pie before leaving town. I always recommend this spot to new folks in the area. Absolutely love it! read more

Ponzetti's has the best pizza in Salisbury. They are hand-tossed, thin, greasy pies from heaven. If you don't like greasy pizza, this place may not be for you. But it's your loss. I can't speak for most of their subs. The cheese steak is not bad (but not the best) and I think I've had a pretty darn good turkey sub there before. But, really, I go there for the pizza. The place is like a NY pizza place; self-service. There is a good amount of seating, but you walk up to the counter to order and pay, then they call your name for you to pick up your food when ready. There's minimal interaction with the staff this way, which works well because, while they have never been rude, they have also never been upbeat and chipper (it's very much like a NY pizza place!) Pretty much like your standard fast food place (where they don't rely on tips). The prices are pretty standard. It's not a chain, so they don't offer 2 for $10 deals and the like, but neither do they inflate the prices, and the sizes are large enough. There's parking along the front and side of the building, which is usually plenty. They do deliver to a limited area, but I have never used that route and wouldn't recommend it to others. Just go in and pick it up if you want to take it home. Bottom line: This place has been around forever with little-to-no advertising (at least, not that I've seen), and I believe it has survived solely because of the pizza. I grew up with Ponzetti's pizza as a family favorite--and we didn't even live in Salisbury. read more

Ordered 2 Large Pizzas. Very good pies enjoyed by all of us. Good road stop.

Got a large cheesesteak sub. First, it was two 12 inch subs, not one 24. A little harmless misconception. No big deal. But there was very little meat in the sub. Enough to eat the meat from each sub in one bite per sub. I know this because I opened them up and did so. I was very displeased with the whole lack of substance inside. The only thing plentiful was the amount of pepper they put on. It was covered. read more

First time here, don't remember if I came here when I was growing up, but their subs were great. I got the pizzaburger sub and my girlfriend got the club. Fast tasted great. The pizzas smell good. Maybe next time we'll try one. read more
