Pizza Pub has always made accommodations to my orders and have always provided great service. Staff is super friendly and extremely hard working. I have a sever dairy and egg allergy, to the point when I call they know exactly who I am and how I order things. The food is great. Pizza is awesome, nice and crunchy and has great flavor.As for everyone saying that the staff is rude, this is coming from a hard worker. Every dog has its day. At the end of the day, pizza pub staff is always hard working and always moving very fast. They are tired. We are all human. Some days may be better than others for most. Instead of judging someone’s response take a look at the atmosphere and food. We are all human. They are not “rude” they are just tired and hard working. please cut the staff some slack. Everyone is great and I love this place. They deserve the business. A+ from the “no cheese lady” ❤️😂

Stopped here for some grub during road trip to the mid-west. 20 min wait for 2 mediums, which I expected. The mediums are quite big! :) They close at 9:30pm, which helped with our situation. They have table seating as well as stool seating. Bathroom was clean. Staff very friendly. Pizza hot and looks delicious. Could not figure out where exactly to park but we made it work.

Moving into a new town there are several things you wish for and I would have to say a “Go To Pizza” restaurant is near the top of the list. Enter Pizza Pub RIGHT DOWN THE STREET. In a time where hoity toity places trying to impersonate real pizza restaurants are running rampant charging people hundreds of dollars for thin dough, arugula and a splash of sauce, the Pizza Pub is a 7-days a week open until 10p oasis. Pizza Pub is not only a classic Greek Pizza restaurant with a menu to please everyone, but they are also SUPERHEROES. Moving here had no kitchen – Pizza Pub to the rescue; trades people doing work at the house - Pizza Pub to the rescue; surprised by 6 hungry teenagers - Pizza Pub to the rescue; 10 more people show up unexpectedly - Pizza Pub to the rescue; every placed closed at 9p - Pizza Pub to the rescue.Look – Pizza Pub’s cheese pizza is hands down one of the best I have ever had period. Funny when I hear the occasional “Greek Pizza is good but greasy” here is a reminder: first, at the fancy pizza places when a pizza droops with, well “grease,” it’s called oil, olive oil, heart healthy oil – but at a real pizza place the same oil is called grease. Second IF it bothers you, blot with a paper napkin. Here is what I know every time I get a Pizza Pub small cheese pizza - it is served hot. Cheese is perfectly melted with that slight browning on top. Pull a piece out and YES you can pick the whole piece up, no droop. A perfect crunch from first bite to last. When I want a little something extra well, I add bacon and jalapeno peppers to my cheese pizza. And the ultimate test of great pizza – one no one likes to talk about – when you wake up in the morning and you head to the fridge for leftover pizza – I’m addicted to my morning slice of Pizza Pub pie!Big menu so you will just have to try what you want – here is what I or others have had and all has been good: Pizza, BLT Club, chicken and cheese quesadilla, chicken nuggets, French fries, Grinders – tuna, American mix, chicken parm, ham, Genoa, Italian Combo and steak & cheese.Wings are solid, salads are substantial especially with grilled chicken, melts are a trip, and calzones are cheesy goodness.Here is at least one hopeful result of this review: those of you who enjoy paying $35 for a “pizza” go ahead, take your friends out, pay the triple figure bill then when no one is looking order Pizza Pub’s $8.50 cheese pizza and remember what pizza really is.

Tons of options for food and beverages. Everything was awesome and cooked to my requested doneness. Hot and fresh, the regular fries are battered and entirely way too delicious for a pizza place. The curly fries might even be better than Arby's, dare I say? The dining room is still open with covid, but very limited seating (obviously). Photos included. Parking sucks, no lines to indicate where to park. It's definitely worth the annoyance of figuring out where to park for the quality of the food.

The pizza here used to be good, but things have definitely gone down hill. This is the 3rd week in a row they got our order wrong and when my wife called them out on it they told her "weve been doing this for 30 years" and they didnt make it right, at all. She cried when she got home because of how rude the owner was - he talked back and raised his voice at her. This is not how you treat loyal customers. Congratulations, you lost a customer of over 20 years. All this jerk needed to do was say sorry, and make us a new pie. No one cares about the customer experience anymore, and this is another sad day of once a good place deciding to become a bad one. What a shame.

Solid food all around, nice staff, quick service. The only downside is their pizza, they sauce their dough in advance so the dough is gooey and doesn't rise properly.

Strictly speaking about pizza, this was the worse tasteless pizza i ever ate. The sauce had no taste probably canned, acually canned probably would taste better. The only reason we went here was because it was close to Polar Express, which we were visiting. I hope this review helps people not familiar from the area , who want to grab a quick pizza. I didn't expect much for a small town but come on at least season your sauce. The crust was like cardboard. Your better off driving to the other pizza in town which looked better in the pictures at least, i mean how can you get worse than this place.

Excellent serviceWe had the cheese, vegetable pizza (take out) & it was delicious. Recently We went there during weekdays around 2:30pm for pizza, they had only 2 slices of cheese pizza left, had that & ordered vegetable quesadilla. They made it quickly and was very good. The service is fast & staffs are helpful. The sitting area is very large and clean. I like this Pizza place and they have many other items on the menu.

I have been going to pizza pub since I was a child and I’ve always loved it and the pizza , it’s fabulous and has amazing flavor .I didn’t want to write this review but it’s the second time I’ve gone for lunch after recommending this place and have left looking like an idiot . The tables are so disgusting and sticky , the customer service is non existent , and the staff are very curt and rude .I have nothing bad to say about the food it is always great , but service has unfortunately gone very down hill.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to eat after a visit to the Essex Steam Train. This was the first place we saw and decided to stop. We ordered a medium sausage pizza and it was really good. We will stop be again when we are in the area.

We were in town with our son, his wife and our 2 year old grandson for the train ride to the North Pole and wanted to grab a bite before boarding the train. We found the Pizza Pub within walking distance to the train station and enjoyed a pizza cooked exactly as ordered (extra crispy), a very fresh salad and a delicious meatball parm appetizer. It was a great find!

Have been going here for years, kids always loved it, staff was always friendly but the last 3 times we had Unfriendly staff. The pizza has never been very good but we use to enjoy the atmosphere, I’m thinking the ownership has changed hands. They never even came to our table to see if we wanted anything else. And were even unfriendly when we paid. It was very Odd. Probably won’t ever return. We do have a special needs son. Maybe they have issues with disabilities? Disappointed.

Great pizza, better service. After a long day in the car with two little kids, Pizza Pub was the only place in town open late. The guys here treated us like gold, even though we arrived the hour before closing, plus didn’t freak out when our two year old threw ravioli on the clean floor. Plus, I’m already looking forward to eating my leftover pizza for breakfast.

Loved it! The dining room was gorgeous with plenty of tv’s and all of the wall outlets have USB ports. Now food wise this place was awesome I enjoyed everything from my super fresh and quickly served salad to my delicious buffalo chicken pizza. The staff is super friendly and understanding I will always come back here when I have the chance too!

The service was great here! We called to make a reservation for our extended family group of 11 the day before we went on the Essex Stream Train and they offered to take our order ahead of time and have everything ready for us when we arrived. There staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. The potato skins with broccoli were delicious and the pizza was good too.
