Not good. We used to get pizza from there fairly often, so I decided to give it another try. The crust was terrible, and the Anna's special was literally covered in chopped garlic (stuff from a jar). Plus, it was surprisingly pricey. Buffalo chicken and pepperoni were equally bad. Vesuvius or Volos are so much better. Barstool's review was way off... perhaps Portnoy should stick to delivering newspapers. read more

Average, nothing special pizza, and disappointing after watching the Barstool pizza review. Pizza sauce was slightly sweet, which was a nice surprise. Service was straight forward and only outside seating available. read more

Decent local spot but have never seen anyone put a pair of gloves on anytime I have been there. Love to support local biz but always question and hope they are washing often. read more

Best Pizza spot in Swampscott, friendly staff and same owner after all these years! Consistent taste and speedy delivery! Driver is an absolute hunk read more

Wow, good thing some things don't change. We we're heading to the airport and stopped in for a cheesesteak. The steak was fresh, tasty, full of meat and not a trace of grease. I grew up locally and was at Cindy's weekly 50 years ago... fantastic sandwich, great value and they actually remember my dad a local teacher and department chairman at the high school. I travel back frequently and absolutely will include Cindy 's in my must go food spot. read more

So whether it's sunny or windy And whether you like James Bond or Indy Like Andress when he meets her Swampscott's favourite pizza Is this perfect slice made by Cindy! I asked them for more than just a slice if you know what I mean. I even offered a million dollars and said my name was Robert Redford. It was a Cindy-cent Proposal. Cindy is a sweetheart and she sells her excellent delicious crusty Pizza Boston style dirt cheap and you will enjoy it. Definitely one of the good examples of excellent standard Boston Pizza right in the middle of a residential neighbourhood and very supportive of the neighbourhood and supported by the neighbourhood and that's what I like to see, and they let the kids of the area hang out here which is awesome. Definitely a good slice which is definitely worth 5 stars and dirt cheap. But if you eat too many slices for too many weeks in a row, you won't look like Cindy Crawford anymore. Not in the waistline anyway. read more

Haven't ordered from them in well over 10 years. Recently saw a local review and figured why not, it's been forever. Some things never change! Delivery over 30 minutes late, no longer answering phone because they are now closed so, you can't check on your order. After another 15-20 minutes we get a call that driver got a flat and someone will be there in 10 or so minutes to grab the delivery orders. We are asked if we still wanted our food, we decided to cancel because at that point food will be ice cold. Driver was fine with cancellation but asked we wanted a refund. The entire experience was awful but asking if we want a refund was just bizarre. read more

I drive by this place so often I figured I would take a chance and try it out always a supporter of small local business. We got the steak tip sub and let me say that the bread was the freshest I have ever had for a sub from any place, we got the Chrissy's pizza and we also got the Nunzio pizza. It was all so fresh still piping hot when we brought it home. The service was amazing! 10 out of 10! our new spot! read more

Good fresh bread and meats, great value and fast service. Ample parking across the street.

Second cheese pizza in the last couple of months and way too much sauce compared to the usual Cindy's cheese pizza we all know and love. read more

Cindy's Pizza & Subs - Pizza Near Me - Swampscott, Massachusetts

Got home after picking up our order only to open the box and find a horribly burnt pizza. I usually find Cindy's pizza over done, but this one was really just unacceptable. The other half was not as bad but basically the crust was inedible. read more

Cindy's Pizza & Subs - Burnt Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Swampscott, Massachusetts

Cindy's is an under appreciated gem in Swampscott. I feel like their pizza in particular is under appreciated. Having grown up in Italy, I know what a proper pizza crust tastes and feel like. Trust me when I tell you that Cindy's got it right. It's obvious they take great care in selecting ingredients to duplicate authentic Italian pizza. Their crust, for example, appears to be made with authentic Semolina flour. The way they let the dough rise in the oven seems to be well thought out by controlling the temperature during the baking process. If you are looking for a game day pizza, this could certainly do the job but you'd be overlooking the simplicity in artisanal baking that goes into this pizza. This is NOT a cheap, greasy pizza to inhale while drinking your coors lite. If that's what you're looking for there are plenty of options around town. If, however, you are looking to wash down a tasty authentic style italian pizza with a Peroni or your favorite small brew IPA or white belgian, then look no further. read more

Pizza is awesome -- delivery service is GREAT Fresh ingredients. Staff very pleasant. Steak Bomb is the BOMB. You will love it here. read more

We got a small pizza (cheese) cause we were just hungry. We later drove to the beach to eat the pizza... After one bite we got back in the car to get a large and when we got there it was closed (8:45 P.M.)... We will return. read more

Our new favorite pizza. Thin crust, generous with sauce. Staff always friendly and accommodating.

Cindy's is my favorite pizza place. No, it is not the most incredible pizza you will ever have in your entire life, but the service is great and the prices are good. My favorites things to order are the Hawaiian pizza, BLT, and Greek salad, all of which are good sized portions. In addition, there is seating outside and it is located conveniently in the "downtown" area of Swampscott. read more

Delivery was very quick, I ordered the Mac balls, which I've been dying to try. We also ordered a large cheese zaa with ricotta cheese(bc cheese). The Mac balls made a confusing impression, at first I was hesitant, but I soon found myself finishing all of them off. I would suggest dipping your pizza in mayo.(also the Mac balls did not come with dipin sauce). read more

7.8 :-) Outside of going to the North End, Cindy's is the best pizza you can get around here. It's perfect for relaxing and watching a football game with a cold drink. We drive from Beverly every week or two to have it. read more

The pizza was pretty good. The delivery service was really slow (about an hour and a half) but I'm assuming that's because it's a Saturday night. Overall good service and good pizza with decent pricing. read more

This pizzeria reminds of an Italian pizza joint by my house in Jersey growing up (not shore Jersey! North Jersey!). My best friend and I would walk home from middle school every day and sometimes we'd stop by and grab a slice of freshly made Brooklyn style pizza with a wonderful thin, chewy crust and melting cheese. Thank you Cindy's for rekindling that part of my childhood! Cindy's cheese pizza (no toppings) is simple and delicious. You can taste the acidity of the tomato and the lightness of the crust. While the cheese is probably a mozzarella blend instead of hand-pulled homemade mozzarella, it is the closest to a tristate style pizza I have found since coming to Boston. It's best to eat the entire pizza hot, but it is also delicious for a midnight snack. The slices don't feel heavy going down so take care to share and not eat the entire pie by yourself (like I have wanted to)! Also good are their hot subs, which are extremely cheap for the amount of food and the QUALITY. They have an amazing steak and cheese sub as one Yelper already reviewed: no peppers or onions here, just simply thin sliced steak cooked with quality cheese, resulting in a wedding of melting cheesy goodness and juicy steak! So good! Also good is their cheeseburger sub (which comes with two patties!) and apparently their ham bomb (I never had it but my fiance really likes it). Since we literally live down the street, it takes some self control not to order from there all the time. One good deterrence is that it would be too lazy of me to try to get them to deliver to my door, a block away from their shop. Oh what a double edged sword! Also, the food is probably not too healthy to eat daily. PS - if you are really cheap and don't want to pay $10 for a quality pizza (and it is definitely worth the money), you can get coupons online. I've never used them since it's a local business and the food is great so I've always felt I've gotten my money's worth. read more

This place is the consummate hole-in-the-wall sandwich and pizza shop. They have excellent sandwiches. Always made with fresh ingredients and attention to your requests. The pizza is excellent too. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent pizza at very competitive price. Worth trying. Only problem is parking and traffic so best to pick up on off hours.

We decided on pizza but didn't want to travel far, so we paid our second visit to Cindy's. There's nothing fancy about the place, which makes for a straightforward dining experience: tonight it was a large pizza (pepperoni, mushroom, pineapple) and two bottled sodas. The pizza is just how I like it, with a crisp to the crust but a bit chewy on the topping side. The help is friendly and familiar as befits a neighborhood place, complete with the occasional gaggle of high schoolers dropping by for a quick order of chicken fingers and fries. There's a pretty comprehensive menu of subs and grilled items, as well as some pasta dishes. Maybe next time we branch out beyond a pie... but for now, pizza it is! read more

The place has incredible pizza because of their amazing sauce and flavor. Their ingredients are fresh and tasty. Sometimes the service may be slow but it's always worth the wait and the pizzas are always fresh. They under-estimate the wait. It's just exactly what you'd want in an incredible HOMEMADE pizza. They know how to make anything to taste, so don't be afraid to ask specifically what they want!!! Or just have them make it your way and it will be perfect. Pick up or delivery, the pizzas are usually hot, fresh, and tasty! My Famous Delicious Subs I've had include: Steak & Cheese, Steakbomb, Chicken Kabob, Italian, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Meatball, Chicken Parm, Chicken Cutlets, not to mention their burgers are also delicious! They can make a legit cheeseburger that tastes way better than the big mac! read more

I grew up in the area and somehow Cindy's stayed off my radar. Perhaps it is a deceiving exterior. Now I know why I always saw folks running in as a drove by. They have wonderful slices. Even the ones that look like they have been around the better part of 90 min or more are simply fab. Do not hesitate to stop here and chow down. read more

So nasty I ordered a slice of cheese pizza it was soggy and cold when they took it out the pizza tray they had no gloves and the cook is constantly smoking inside one time I walked in with no mask he told me to "get out my store you f-slur" please call the health inspector on this place read more

Had a terrible experience ordering from Cindy's Pizza &subs tonight. At 610pm, I made my delivery order of a large 1/2 marinated chicken and 1/2 cheese with onion rings for my 2 year old daughter so I wouldn't have to take her across town.I was told an hour delivery wait which I was okay with. Hour goes by, hour and a half goes by and I call to see where my order was and girl on the other end of the phone said it'll be there shortly well half hour isn't shortly. Long story short, pizza came almost 2 hours after order time, burnt, hard, terrible crust and cold sauce. In this 2 hour duration my toddler kept repeating pizza, pizza, pizza louder and louder and louder. Resulted in chicken nuggets by 730 and almost didn't eat them. Lastly, very expensive maybe prices have gone up because of covid-19 but 26.88 for a large pizza and onion rings. Seriously. But hey, will be my last time ordering from cindys. I'm a pizza guy, love pizza, refer pizza to friends family and clients. Up your game. read more

Best local pizza and subs. Roni and onion cooked a little well is my fav. It's nice to still have local places and not just chains. So good!

I have been ordering from Cindys for the last 20 years. Personal favorites are the pizza and steak and cheeses, you can always expect the same delicious pizza read more

The pizza's pretty good. But their Buffalo Chicken Pizza is embarrassing, don't get it. Not enough chicken, not enough cheese. Sad day

I had my first and last Pizza or any food from this place. I didn't think I would need to cook the warm only soggy crust Pizza.

Consistent decent pizza. They are not light handed with toppings, tons of whatever you order. Very affordable, as locals we order from here all the time. read more

Just happened to stop by this sandwich/pizza spot. Sandwiches were awesome, employees friendly and helpful.

Every time we're in MA we make sure to pay a visit to Cindy's Pizza & Subs!!! We love their subs. Service is awesome, their always friendly.

This is a Tiny little place located right on Humphrey Street. Good pizza and BEST STEAK AND CHEESE on the north shore!!! I'm not fibbing!

Nice family shop with great pizza. My friend had a sub and said it was the best he has had in awhile read more

Cindy's is really the best pizza I've found in Swampscott. The delivery can be a little slow, but perhaps that's because it's so popular around here. read more

When you move to a new town, finding a go to pizza place is critical. Mission accomplished here as Cindy's is a no frills, NY style thin crust joint on the North Side of Swampscott's tiny downtown. Standard fare but damn tasty, quick and easy. In my estimation, the best 'za in Southern Essex county. read more

We had Cindy's pizza for the first time this evening. A large with peppers, olives and mushrooms. The ingredients were very fresh, the sauce was tasty, not cloying or sharp, and the thin crust had excellent flavor. I thought it was priced very reasonably. The folks weren't particularly friendly, but maybe they take a while to warm up to strangers. I definitely will be back for pizza again, and subs too, no doubt. read more

I've been three times for a cheese steak and they are very very good. Tastes like the cheesesteaks in the boson area when I was a kid. Looking forward to trying the pizza and other menus items. Not too far fro the beaches in Nahant, Lynn and of course Swampscott. Worth the trip! read more
