Since moving to Maine, Mrs Coot and I were excited to find The Beacon. This has become our go to place for pizza and sandwiches. Sadly, The Beacon has closed. Will only be fond memories. read more

I think this is the same place as "Beacon Pizza" in the greater Windham area. We went because it was a familiar place to Wayne and his son. The pizza was really good! You could tell that they had paid great attention to ensuring that it lived up to the family legacy. Service was great, and, while walking in we noted the many wooden decorated pizza boards adorning the wall - it truly made it a great evening to chat and remember the past. read more

Placed a take out order around 4:30PM. Had to redial for over five minutes to get through busy signals. Ordering was easy. Pizza was ready as advised 25-35 minutes. First surprise was that the online menu is outdated, listings and prices. I purchased one large "The Beacon" and large fries. The bill was $39. The pizza was terrible. The crust was gummy at the edges and saturated under the toppings. Cheese was minimal and there were chunks of overcooked (reheated?) sausage. Overall, the pizza was greasy. Two slices were half eaten and we tossed the rest in the trash. The fries were soggy and stuck in a clump. Also greasy. Also tossed. I know what good pizza is, and this certainly wasn't. Tasted like premade pizza left under a heat lamp. read more

First, we chose this location for their gluten free options, not always easy to find when traveling. Although they were out of GF crust, they offered an alternative cauliflower crust, also GF. We ordered a large 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 BBQ on regular crust, absolutely perfect.... Then a small GF ranch chicken in cauliflower crust - SO good, we couldn't tell it was GF and even asked to confirm as we have celiac in the family and could have caused a lot of problems if it wasn't. Confirmed! No gluten, cooked to perfection and could barely detect cauliflower taste. Crisped up just as a regular crust and loved every bite, we all did! Thank you Beacon for a quality pizza and a stellar GF option! We come to Naples every summer and are always in search of great food- you did it and we will be back next year! read more

Came in for dinner. Nice casual atmosphere and super friendly staff. Ordered fried mushrooms, a pizza and an Italian sandwich. The mushrooms are tasty, nice pizza, but the showstopper and the biggest reason we will be back was the Italian sandwich. Aaaaaaamazing! Highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff. Decent pizza. Great Italian sandwich as good as if not better than Amatos. Calzone was tasty. Recommend not getting mushrooms on your pizza as they are canned but otherwise a decent place read more

The Beacon - Small pepperoni pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Raymond, Maine

This business has fallen quite a bit since they opened; they went from homemade crust to a piece of cardboard. You don't have to worry about getting a partially cooked pie because it is so thin they managed to over cook the crust; it was dark brown on both sides. It was like trying to eat pizza toppings on toast. Then we have the sauce; just from the taste you can tell it is from a can. It appears that they are cutting corners every where. It's pretty sad when you have to wait more than a half for a pie made from pre-made products. And lets not forget the tables; how hard is it to wipe them down after the customer leaves. And how do you know when a company is sliding down hill? They start charging the customers for "Non Cash Adjustment (3%)". Which just so happens to be illegal in Maine. "A seller in a sales transaction may not impose a surcharge on a cardholder who elects to use a credit card or debit card in lieu of payment by cash, check or similar means. For purposes of this section, "surcharge" means any means of increasing the regular price to a cardholder that is not imposed on a customer paying by cash, check or similar means. A discount or reduction from the regular price is not a surcharge. " read more

HOW DO they make the fries so good? Big tasty specialty pizzas, like chicken BBQ. Delicious crust that's both crisp and chewy at the same time. read more

The Beacon has the best pizza around! Not only is the food always looking beautiful, but the service is incomparable. Family- owned business & you can tell because everything is made with love! The proof is in the pizza BLT pizza is the best in my opinion, BUT they also use real Hamburg rather than their competitors. Thank you Wing family! read more

We had The Beacon cater a large event for our Business. We were having a team meeting at 6am on a Sunday with 80+ people. The Beacon was extremely helpful and flexible. They came up with ideas way beyond what I was thinking of (breakfast pizza). They included bacon, sausage, fresh muffins and fresh fruit, and the best cinnamon sticks I've ever had in my life. The scary part of catering with a new business is "will they really show?" And they were knocking on the door at 5:30 am with a truck full of food. This was an extremely successful event because everyone loved the food. The prices were reasonable. The breakfast pizza was amazing. The fruit was fresh scooped and yummy. The sausage and bacon were a hit. The muffins were great and I already told you about the cinnamon sticks of my dreams. Thank you Beacon for making our event awesome! read more

Excellent and delicious pizza. Very hot and fresh. Had a large pie, half hamburger half pepperoni. Friendly counter man. Giving a 4 because the hamburger topping was about half the amount of pepperoni! read more

Great hidden gem, loved our meatball sub and the whoopie pies are out of this world. Pizza is great too. read more

Delicious pizza and amazing staff! We are so lucky to have them in the community! If you haven't tried, get a whoopie pie too!!!

This is - hands down - the best pizza I've ever eaten. We live in NH, but were here visiting relatives and this is the second time we've ordered from them. We ordered a bunch of pizzas for takeout this time. The steak and cheese pizza is AMAZING! It has a delicious alfredo sauce and the peppers and onions were cut tiny so they didn't take away from the pizza. They don't skimp in the shaved steak either, it's SO good. We also had a BBQ Chicken pizza which was really yummy with tangy BBQ sauce. Our kids devoured the cheese pizza. The dough is so tasty that our daughter even ate her crusts! My husband tried the BLT Pizza (we got a small just to try it) and didn't really expect to like it. He was pleasantly surprised. Definitely the best pizza!! Great service, too. MUST TRY! read more

Best pizza in the Raymond/Windham and surrounding areas! I was one of the first lucky people to try their pizza at their first pizza challenge in 2018, before they even opened! Of course they won! They came back to repeat victory in 2019 and added a win in a second category! The pizza is fantastic with just the right amount of topping and a perfectly cooked crust! They've expanded their menu to include sandwiches, salads, appetizers etc. The staff is super friendly and always put the customer first! The restaurant is super cute and clean! Thank you for bringing the best pizza to Raymond! read more

Had the steak and cheese sub on my first visit here and it was a solid 5 star. Bread made the sandwich....actually everything made the sandwich perfect. Staff was first class-loved everything about this one. read more

Was craving some cheese pizza today and wasn't sure where to go out in the Windham-Bridgton area. After some searching we decided on The Beacon Pizza and it was a great choice. Called in the order and it was ready in less than 20 mins and when we got it in the car the drooling started to happen right away. Finally found a nice spot to sit and enjoy some pizza, we dug in and boy was it delicious. We will most definitely be back again. read more

We had the large cheese pizza. The pizza was well cooked, crust was crusty and on the thicker side. We ordered it to go and 10 min travel the pizza was still warm and wonderful. Staff were very friendly even on a busy Friday. read more

This is a cute, quaint pizza joint. We loved the painted pizza paddles for decor. The service was fast and friendly. We ordered wings & cheese curds- both delicious and the Beacon pizza. Toppings were numerous! Great place! read more

Super happy. Pizza was great. Ordered a loaded which is called "The Beacon" I guess.. Ordered fries and wedges. Oh yeah, a pepperoni,mushroom and black olive pizza. I was quite satisfied. I wished they had malt vinegar, and suggested they get some. Altogether a good meal. You should try it. read more

I ordered a bunch of pizzas to feed my Black Friday retail crew today. What a fantastic pizza place! You will not be disappointed by any pizza you choose. Fresh, delicious, and creative. I loved the BLT and Buffalo Chicken. Best pie around. Worth the trip even if you don't live near Windham. Can't say enough about the customer service and friendliness as well. Thanks Beacon Pizza for successfully getting us through the busiest day of the year! read more

Very good food, clean establishment and a friendly staff! We tried the Hawaiian pizza and pepperoni pizza and mozzarella sticks, all of which was really good. read more

first time trying this restaurant. Have heard good things about it through the grapevine. Got an extra mushroom pizza and it was very good. I'd give a 4 1/2 star rating if that was possible. It will be nice when we can actually eat inside the restaurant and have the pizza hot. Lots of mushrooms and a nice soft crust. Most likely would give it a 5 star rating if that was the circumstance. Not the owner's fault - just the way things are all over. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. read more

First time. In the shopping mall where Family Dollar is in Raymond. Not sure how long it has been there. We tried 2 small pizzas ----hamburger and onion and sausage and pepperoni. The good---sauce nicly balanced. Toppings good and not overcooked. No cornmeal used---thank god. Staff friendly. The just ok----dough did not appear to be made in house. Held the toppings but other than that flavorless. 45 minute wait on. Friday night. Must have been take out as resturant not busy. Pizza better than Pats (find pizza consistently overcooked) and Sunset (cornmeal and sauce do not like.) Not as good as Pizza from Factory in Naples. Will try again. read more

Every time I get pizza here the cheese is burnt and not very good, especially for being so expensive.

The pizza was delicious and I enjoyed every bite! I recommend the chicken bacon ranch and supreme. The service was fast and friendly! The restaurant was clean. I would definitely eat here again! read more

The Beacon prepares and serves the best pizza around. Family owned and run, they do a phenomenal job. Cute establishment that is very clean and has a great layout. Highly recommend their specialty pizzas - love to try a different one each time I go. The dough is soft and super fresh. Have not tried their sandwiches yet, but they look amazing. Great variety of beer and wine. Tip: call ahead because they are fairly new and very popular. read more

Best pizza I have had. We purchased all the ingredients through The Beacon Pizza to make our own pizza ( thanks to Covid-19). So goood. The crust is perfection. read more

Haven't had a good ole fashion local Italian sandwich in years. The Beacon did not disappoint. Take-out service was prompt, the sandwiches were crisp and fresh and the prices more than fair. Congrats and good luck to future success. read more

Had your thanksgiving pizza and loved it. Leftovers for several days too! Nice location and the owner was there with a big smile too! Love it! Local resident Gary read more

Hit or miss here. Owners are friendly but it doesn't taste or resemble the bowling alley pizza as much as they claimed it would. It's a bit too pricy, but when you actually get a good pizza that doesn't matter. Some days you get the best pizza ever and some days it is a 3/10 at best. They are very busy but still finish your food in time, sometimes they just rush and don't pay attention to what they are doing. I would rather wait longer for a good pizza than wait less time for a half decent pizza when they are busy. Love the family owned business and Pam and her husband have been good friends to most of this town for years, her mother before then read more
