Pizza

Resident 2B · 06-22-2009, 02:42 PM

Biggest surprise to me was the great pizza at the Ellacoya Barn and Grille in Gilford. This is because they do not advertise themselves as a pizza place. It took several visits for me to get into their pizza due to the specials and other menu selections they offer. However, they have the best pizza around, by far!

Their other menu items that might distract you from the pizza, but if you keep your mind on the pizza, you will be very happy with your visit. The place is between Samoset and Ellacoya State Park on Route 11.

The pizza at the Pine Cone Cafe in the Pine View Lodge (just south of Melvin Village on Rt 109) is excellent. By the way, so is the rest of their food - breakfast, lunch and supper.

Hi, I am not a big fan of giving out negative feedback but last night we ordered from Anthony's Pizza at the Alton Circle Store for 2 Sicilian Meatlovers Pizzas, we have ordered them in the past. The first time we ordered them shortly after they openned they were great and cooked just right. The next time a couple months later we picked up another one and took it home to find it burnt so bad on the bottom you could not eat it. So last night we(us and another couple) called to order and specifically asked them to make sure it was not burnt on the bottom as our last one was. The girls ran down and picked up the pizzas and they were both burned dark brown to black and not edible. Returning them only got a response that "that is the way a Sicilian Pizza is supposed to be" and we disagreed and ended up paying 17.00 each for burnt Pizza.
Sorry if this does not seem justified to rant about but we were not happy.

Edit: We received a call from the owner or manager of Anthony's this morning and he said after looking at the crust of our returned pizzas he said our complaint was justified and refunded our money. He said the employee overcooked them. So please excuse my above rant, I guess I jumped the gun.

Anyone remember The Foxy Johnny B. the pizza there was fantastic and as a kid I liked sitting at the round wooden wheel tables in the lounge before the entertainment came in. I forget what town but know we had to down around the Alton circle.

As a Gluten Intolerant, the best out of the home pizza destination for me is Rafferty's in North Conway. Gluten Free pizza AND Gluten Free BEER. I can finally go to a bar!

Foxy Johnny's was in New Durham, run by the (now X) Fire Chief.

PS: He also had fantastic beef

That was very decent of the owner. You had a right to be angry. In a former business my family owned we often had trouble with our help (we could not be there 24/7) so I understand how that goes

Good for the owner though

I'm happy it worked out for you guys.

For $4.50, Wal-Mart sells an 11" diameter, frozen 32 oz round Focaccia Crust, Great Value brand, pizza with Italian sausage, roasted peppers, pepperoni, mushrooms and onions.....non-taxable....no dreaded NH 8% tax or tip expected.

For about $90.00, the Kohl's next to Lowe's at Exit 20 sells a terrific Black & Decker 110-volt, counter-top pizza oven.

For about $7.97, Wal-Mart sells a cold six-pack of Guinness extra-stout.

To good food.....cheers

Wifi,

Thanks for that info. It explains why there was all those fire dept patches and paraphanelia. Always enjoyed that place and remember getting my first electric fence shock trying to pet the horses.

LOL, FLL, I think you should have a chat with Walmart. You should be paid for advertising for them. They should know how much business you are bringing them!

You are welcome. His name was Rod N. (if I remember right), was a full and long time Chief in Mass for... ummm... Weymouth? Retired up here and ran FJ for decades and was the volunteer (and very competent) chief for ND.

Ahhh... the old days....
