Shelly's Kitchen is now open at Plaistow Center, which is a casual pizza and sandwich eatery. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating to the back left of the counter.
They offer Sicilian pizzas (by the sheet or by the slice), paninis, hot & cold subs, salads, soup, chicken wings, chicken tenders, burgers, hot dogs, kids meals and cooler drinks (Coke products). There are also a few kinds of thick Sicilian pizza slices and chicken wings in the heated glass case. They also have grab & go premade finger sandwiches, wraps, and salads and Wachusett bagged chips. The prices here are moderate and slightly high.
I stopped by Shelly's Kitchen for takeout recently. I wanted to try their pizza, so I picked out two thick square Sicilian pizza slices, Pepperoni ($4.95 plus tax) and Chicken Bacon & Broccoli ($5.95 plus tax) and also ordered a 12" Steak & Provolone Cheese with Onions Sub ($14 plus tax). The steak & cheese sub was made to order with the shaved steak, and onions cooked on the grill. My order was ready in about 12 minutes.
The Sicilian pizza slices were heavy and thick with a soft texture and crisp outside crust topped with a sweet tomato sauce, cheese and standard toppings. There are other pizza places in Haverhill where I've also had pretty good sweet sauce on the pizza, though my preference is traditional red sauce.
The steak and cheese sub had plenty of grilled shaved steak with melted cheese and onions in the mix on a soft & chewy white sub roll. The sub was cut in halves and wrapped as two 6" subs.
Overall, the food here tasted pretty good. I enjoyed the Sicilian pizza slices. I would probably order a whole 6 cut sheet next time with the traditional sauce instead, starting at $17.95 for cheese to $23.95 for supreme and $26.95 for Shelly's Special, about $3.00 - $4.50 a slice before tax. read more
