Plum Crazy Pizza

Irish Choppers · 12-26-2012, 02:05 PM

My wife and I just enjoyed a leisurely stroll thru Meredith Village and happened by the new pizza shop next to AJ's soon to be called Plum Crazy Pizza. They were advertising their special of the day, a gourmet "Mac & Cheese" pizza. We went inside and met one do the new owners, Paulie, who once worked as a chef at the Canoe. In short, the pizza was incredible and we highly recommend it. Paulie explained to us his new signs will be out soon and he promises a menu of gourmet options that sound really fun. You may just want to try this place out. It was excellent!

Is this the old "Village Pizza" which used to be a sub shop ?

winniplayhouse · 12-26-2012, 03:30 PM

Yes. Formerly Pizza Factory then Village Pizza.

Wow that was a quick turn over. I will have to check it out. Do they still have the same tables inside?

Any news on Zackys?

lovetheforum · 12-26-2012, 10:06 PM

Their pizza is the best. The crust is incredible. I wish the new owners luck!

Any idea why Village pizza sold out ?...

willcastner · 12-27-2012, 12:29 PM

The pizza at plum crazy is awesome. If you like buffalo chicken you have to try it. The special with carmalized onions is great to, I forget what he calls it.

hilltopper · 12-27-2012, 01:53 PM

Wife drove by this morning and reported it still looked like Village Pizza. Anyone have a phone number? Are they definitely open for business?

Irish Choppers · 12-27-2012, 03:00 PM

Here's the number Hilltopper. The owner tells us new signs are going out after the first of the year.

Plum Crazy Pizza. 603-279-0002

That makes sense. Must places keep the phone numbers of the business they buy?

Bobe · 01-02-2013, 11:01 AM

Last Saturday we ordered 4 pizzas and some chicken wings from the Plum Crazy Pizza, delivered right to the door, and they were great! We highly recommend this pizzarea.

Janet · 01-02-2013, 11:52 AM

If someone has a menu or if someone is going there, would love to see the menu uploaded. They have a Facebook page but no menu listed. Thanks

No, but why cut off potential customers who have the number already if it's a similar enterprise?

I believe we are saying the same thing. As I understand it the numbers for plum and village are the same.

pjard · 01-05-2013, 05:03 PM

The pizza's are awesome! What an improvement...a great addition to Meredith.

GTO · 01-07-2013, 05:20 PM

got a steak sub this weekend. Steak was good and the roll was fresh. The bottom of the roll however was saturated with the grease/oil from the steak, not good. Like eating wet bread. I could never be a duck. Will give it another chance

I also hate that with steak n cheeses.

jtb9212 · 01-26-2013, 07:16 PM

Ate there this afternoon. All I can say is excellant pizza. Met one of the owners, Paulie, great guy. Homemade sauce, homemade dough, fresh ingredients. Hands down the best pizza I have had in the area. They were even nice enough to let my wife and I sit in the resteraunt with our black lab so he didnt have to sit in the truck.

I cant wait to go back. Excellant food!!

VitaBene · 02-04-2013, 01:20 PM

They have a bob house on Meredith Bay as does Giusseppee's. Pizza and soup on the ice!

WakeboardMom · 02-18-2013, 11:35 AM

Plum Crazy pizza is awesome! We stopped Friday night to pick up two pizzas after calling from route 104. The pizzas were hot and the staff was very welcoming. We got to the house in Moultonborough, unloaded the car, poured a glass of wine and enjoyed the best pizza we've had in a very long time!

We hightly recommend the French Dip pizza and the Shrimp Scampi pizza. They were both delicious, with plenty of toppings...no skimping in any way!We chatted with the staff about the mac and cheese pizza, and let me tell you, they made it sound so tempting, it will be hard not to order it the next time!

Two very enthusiastic thumbs up from two very happy diners!

pjard · 07-03-2013, 05:54 PM

Went to Plum Crazy Pizza again today and it is better then ever. My son had a small cheese pizza and I had a steak and cheese....amazing food for a little pizza shop.

cillovely · 07-05-2013, 01:45 PM

Nice to see new owners in there that are friendly and that it's good. I went there a couple of years ago (not sure what it was called was then) and I could see that they were busy with a big order. So being a patient person, I waited and waited and waited, but nobody even acknowledged me or said we'll be right with you. After 10 minutes I said forget it, went across the street (leaving my car in thier lot) and got something else to eat.

Dave · 07-08-2013, 12:59 PM

Can you still sit outside (we have a puppy) and have dinner?

BroadHopper · 08-15-2014, 10:54 AM

Visit yesterday afternoon around 1pm with the grandkids. I am not impress at all! One gentleman actually sitting on a stool in back of the counter taking the orders. He will not sit up to face the children and treat them like adults. I had to repeat everything they said because he would not stand up to face them. After the order, he went about to make the subs alone, while another gentleman sit behind the oven. It was about 15 minutes to make a cheese steak, ham & cheese and meatball sub! The missus notice he was not wearing gloves while preparing the sandwiches.

We split all the sandwiches with the grandkids as they as well as the adults don't eat much for lunch. The gentleman behind the counter showed displeasure regarding splitting the orders. I had to ask twice for extra paper plates.

The ham taste and look old. Normally I would expect lettuce and tomatoes but there was none. The meatballs and sauce taste like it came out of the can, and probably so. The steak and cheese was smothered with cheese and I notice a small portion of meat.

Maybe it was a bad day and the owners are away? Maybe so, but I will not recommend the place.

kayleigh · 08-15-2014, 01:00 PM

Hit or miss really. I tend to get my pizz from guiseppes because its consistantly great and they deliver. Plums delivers too but only when they have a driver on so you cant rely on delivery feom them

The first time I went, I said the steak sub was really good but the roll was greasy. Went again and the steak was fatty. I ended up throwing out more than I ate. I know what you mean about the guy that just sits there behind the counter and does not seem to do much more than that. Bad customer service right up front. The owner, pauly, who left the canoe to start plum crazy, seemed to be there more often when it opened but I have not seen him the past couple of times. I think the people left in charge are going to be the death of his venture

Pauly doesn't own it. He's the kitchen manager. The guy behind the counter and his dad are the owners. Oh boy....

If it's just a pizza and rolls type of day, I always go to Pats in Center Harbor/Moultonbourough (right at the border)

They also make great hot subs (chicken parm, ect)

If I'm on the other side of town, it's Louie's Famous Pizza to go...(Rte 104)

If I'm exiting Rt 104 and picking up to go home, it's Rossi's Pizza.

You have to have a strategy for your pizza cravings!

The storefront is blank, phone disconnected, does anyone know what happened ?

Bumble2249 · 01-16-2016, 10:51 PM

I heard that their landlord wouldn't renew their lease. So they are supposedly looking for a new location.

Interesting, because the building next to them, the store owners were shut out for the same reason. Wonder what is being planned.

pjard · 01-17-2016, 08:07 AM

Landlord wouldn't renew the lease, gave them very short notice. That's her prerogative I guess but I don't get it. Why throw out a paying tenant? Bigger plans for the building I guess.
