We tried the broccoli chicken pizza and made our own with sausage, peppers and onions. The broccoli chicken pizza was good, but a little bit on the drier side! The customer service was incredible! They are super kind and helpful. When you order they give you a ticket to go to the other side of the store to pay! Then you come back with a receipt and they will give you your pizza. The prices are pretty reasonable! There aren't any tables to eat at inside that I recall but there are some restrooms in the gas station. It's definitely more of a takeout type of place! I was there picking up, and the phone was ringing consistently! They stay busy and think I would come back.

I've lived in this area for 24 years, and I can honestly say--this little spot has the best seafood…read morearound. And that's no small claim. Bun 'N Bowl is right next to Ackerly's Grill & Galley, just five minutes from Alton Bay, where you'll find the newly opened Pub 23 (formerly Dockside Restaurant), Shipley's at the Pier (open year-round), two seasonal spots: Pop's Clam Shack, and Shibley's Drive-In--a takeout-style clam shack. But here's the thing: the fresh fried Icelandic haddock, shrimp, whole belly clams, sea scallops, and more at Bun 'N Bowl blow them all out of the water. For years, my go-to seasonal place was Pop's Clam Shack. The last few years, the quality has gone downhill--overcooked food, very dry haddock, and last summer I was served clam strips that were basically just crunchy batter. I returned them, and while they did make a new batch, the wait was long, as usual. Strangely enough, the haddock at Pub 23 (run by the same folks) is far better. So it's not about the name--it's about who's in the kitchen. At Bun 'N Bowl, the fish is always perfectly cooked: moist, flaky, with a light, golden-brown batter. The jumbo fried shrimp are awesome, and they offer baby shrimp too. They also serve a full menu of subs--my personal favorites are the pepper steak with onions and the roast beef. You'll find rice bowls, delicious clam chowder, and rotating soups, all made fresh. Their daily specials are worth checking out, and every so often they'll surprise you with something like General Tso's Chicken that rivals any Chinese restaurant. You can find them on Facebook under *Karen's Bun 'N Bowl*, where they post their specials. I highly recommend giving them a try--you won't be disappointed.

Generous amount of toppings on pizza. One of my peeves is being able to count how many veggies I might have on my pizza. The crust is fantastic. Soft and still crispy. Also had a roast beef sub. Again, so delicious. I'm not sure, but it seems like they make the rolls in house. They were delicious and soft w a perfect toast to it. Highly recommend.

It was crispy, chewy, and full of flavor and the ingredients are incredibly fresh and delicious. Every pizza we tried was outstanding. It's a cozy little hole-in-the-wall and we enjoyed chatting with the friendly owner and her staff while waiting for our pickup order. You can tell they truly care about their food and their customers. A quick tip: the pizzas are on the smaller side (I definitely over-ordered, but no one complained about the leftovers!), and since it's a small operation, call well ahead if you're placing a large order. This place is a gem and we'll be back for sure the next time we're in the area!

Here's a "merged" review of the bar & the country store…read more.. It's a bonus that there's a local bar nearby for folks in Barnstead. We don't have much, but now we have a country store AND a new bar to hangout at. It's literally maybe a 3-minute drive for us from our house. The parking is limited, but we were told it's okay to park across the street at the church. We haven't had to do that, but there are nights when the spaces are full. Because of COVID & other things, it seemed to take FOREVER for them to get their permits & to be open. This was originally just a country store, but they did a great job converting it into a "half" restaurant with a very large, U-shaped bar. Lots of wood & your typical bar flair. What I love is that they left the "Meat Dept" sign hanging. I actually miss stopping in to get some of the freshest, best priced chicken & steak, but oh well. The menu isn't very expansive, with lots of subs/sandwiches. The appetizers are nothing special, but greasy & good if that's what you're after. The pizza is good, pretty typical. They offer beer & wine for spirits. Some beer on tap & then others in bottles or cans. They also have some spiked seltzers in cans available. The staff is very laid back & the owners are usually ALWAYS there. They work a lot! There's a sliding barn door that goes into what's left of the store that they kept which is primarily fridges with beer, some shelves with bread & even bloody mary mix (random!) & other stuff that I haven't looked at. They have an ATM that works when it wants to.
