We went there last night with family. The people who seated us were over the top helpful and gracious in seating our group. The food was very good but unfortunately the service was less than desirable. It was impossible to get service, drinks, drink refills, etc and she seemed very irritated/annoyed with our requests. Probably does not characterize the restaurant but our experience left us regretting coming. read more

This is our go-to spot where we know we can always count on great tasting, quality food with large portions. Wait staff is always friendly and Connie and Danielle perform magic and miracles behind the bar. Best Hot & Dirty martini money can buy! Great selection on tap too! read more

BEST PIZZA IN SOUTHERN NH - bar none. Not a great dining experience, if you happen to be a foodie; not a stylish interior, not a quiet ambiance, not equipped with attractive mood lighting, but this is a pizza parlor - and one of the best in which this diner has ever eaten. Seriously - I would drive a couple of hours to eat their pizza. They have the best pizza crust I have had anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon, and they don't skimp on the toppings. If you're looking for a really great pizza in a clean, comfortable pizza parlor, this is the place. If you're looking for fine dining, ambiance, a wait staff in tuxedos, this is not your jeroboam of grand cru. I really can't speak poorly of the service - it met my expectations of a pizza place. read more

Great food, extremely fast and friendly service, would definitely recommend and order again. LVL read more

Front Row has been a long time favorite pizza place of mine but I have recently become disillusioned with the prices and quality. One recent visit where I ate IN the restaurant my buffalo chicken sub was soggy. How could this be when I ate in the restaurant? This is the only pizza place I know of in the immediate area where you can get an actual meal (ie steak tips and rice or chicken parm with pasta opposed to steak tips and fries or a chicken parm sandwich) read more

Wow ! Front Row is such a treat. The smell when you walk in is heavenly. They're reliably excellent. We've been eating here regularly for ten years and the atmosphere is family friendly but fun for you g people. The service is always good. The food is very very good. The menu is broad and has something for everyone. We love the pizza, the chicken tenders and fried shrimp the best as well as excellent steak n cheese. I've gotten the chicken tenders, which are cutlets, and brought them home as a base for chicken Parmesan when I had guests coming for dinner. Front Row also does a lot for the community and is a wonderful addition to Exeter. read more

I had lunch here recently while visiting Exeter and hearing about their "white pizza" which was a pizza with a pile of different cheeses. Since I went with a group of guys we ordered a few different pizzas to try. The white pizza was good but the chicken bbq pizza was better. I had a caesar salad also but it really didn't have any of the zesty flavor notes of what a caesar should have so I would skip this next time. read more

Last night, I had the best experience ever, @ Front Row. I've lived in the area for many years--- aside from the cold, fresh salad & the delicious, piping hot pizza pie... the service I received from a server named Valerie was top notch. She was on point from the second we sat , until the moment we left. She was Uber professional, pleasant, extremely attentive, without being intrusive... I waited tables for many years, and I'm rarely impressed, with waitstaff. She hit a grand slam. She went above & beyond, and exceeded all+ any experiences that I've had in a long time, at any dining venue. I travel all the time for work, unfortunately eat out a lot, and Valerie should be commended. She turned having a casual dinner @ Front Row, into a Four Seasons type service.... KUDOS!!!! read more

What a great pizza they make. Its absolute perfection for a pie as they say. Got the Meat Lovers and Veggie Lovers and both were pizza heaven. Not the thin crust with no flavor , their crust is perfection for texture with a slight crunch on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Just the right amount of sauce cheese and toppings too. Wish they were closer to home Id be there every week for sure. mmm mmm good !! read more

This place always makes us sick which is sad because the food is delicious. I'm not sure if it's a cross contamination issue or a lack of cleaning care. Only dined in once but usually get take out. The wait staff is less than inviting and service was slow. Too many places in the area to go back. read more

Delicious food with big portions! The bartender was also our server. Kind of felt like she was doing the bare minimum to tend to us. Kept forgetting to bring our drinks, didn't give us a change to ask for split checks, etc. read more

the italian sub is mad good reminds me of the subs i got back in boston. hard to find good subs up here. if youre a moes fanbyou wont like it its actully good. the meat sauce is the bomb too read more

The best restaurant recommendations (other than from YELP!, of course), come from trusted friends who have been there. In this case, a very dear friend suggested to me that I try the pizza at Front Row. Located at the end of a strip mall, FR has plenty of parking. Much of it is used, as this is a very popular place with the locals, and is just down the road from Philips Exeter Academy. The crust of the pizza is moderately thin and holds up well - not soggy. It has a nice chewy texture and a solid crunch - just right! Sauce is hard for a pizzeria to choose; it has to be a delicate balance between spicy and mellow, or the restaurant will only appeal to folks who like spicy, or folks who like mild. FR has a sauce that will appeal to nearly everyone. The real cheese used at FR is generously applied. All the usual toppings are available. Bottom Line: There is no better pizza to be found in NH. read more

When we first moved to Exeter we would go to restaurants around and wonder why they were half empty. Then we found the Front Row and we realized this was where most of the population was eating. And we could see why. Obviously they do pizzas and they are excellent. But the menu is sufficiently varied to find plenty of alternatives. Big booths to sit in, but also a bar with the requisite TVS on the sports channels. So a favorite of ours. read more

If this was another visit, I would give this at least 4 stars, but this time it wasn't the place, it was the waitress. I don't know her name so we'll call her Linda. Linda was new at her job, and you could tell. First off, she didn't even write down some of the things my family and I ordered. I'm a vegetarian so I went with buttered noodles, I asked for their spaghetti. Linda said this was something from the kids menu and I was fine with that, I just asked for no meatballs. She took a very long time to get just the appetizers to us, and an even longer time for the main meals. When she finally came with the food, my noodles were not spaghetti and there were meatballs on top. She asked if that was ok so I said no. She then told me she would go "take them off" so I had to go ask for just a new plate. I had also mentioned that I ordered spaghetti, but even the second time it was different noodles. That was ok though, and I just had that even though it wasn't what I ordered. If you go here, I suggest you ask for the waiter/waitresses name first. read more

By far the best Pizza we've tried in New England! I love the light tender crust and the Buffalo Chicken pizza Rocks!!! My son s the steak tips and it's usually a three meal entree for us. The Greek salad is so great (add chicken or steak tips...mmmm!) I've always received excellent service from this very busy waitstaff! read more

Great service, good food value, coldest beer on the seacoast!!!! Danny and Melissa are the best behind the bar. Huge portions! Great Caesar salad. read more

So disappointed in Front Row now. This place was a solid 5 Star but the last 3 times I went I ordered the exact same thing. For 2 years I've ordered the vodka pasta. It was always excellent. Always consistent. The past 3 times it was different all 3 times and it was very bland. I tried to doctor it up but that didn't help. At $17 it's kind of pricey for pasta. Is kitchen help changing so quick that new cooks don't learn how to make it correctly?? With a few new restaurants now open in Exeter, you guys can't rely on your past reputation anymore. Thanks read more

Love the pizza but not the wait for pick up. Told 45 m to 1 hour. Waited for an hour and 15 min for a salad and two pizzas. Not sure how long the pizzas sat on top of the oven waiting for a salad but there were a lot of them up there. good food but not worth a wait for pizza that sits on top of the oven. Too bad. Better choices next time read more

Last night I had dinner at Front Row Pizzeria in Exeter. The place was packed, being St. Patrick's day. I was seated in the bar (at my request) since I was alone and didn't want to take a 4 top. I was impressed that even on a day known for rowdiness, the atmosphere was still family friendly. Lots of laughter and various games on multiple TVs, but very friendly and comfortable. There was a mix of people from families with kids, twenty-something guys watching March Madness, couples and seniors. I particularly liked that the owner was walking around checking that his customers were happy. The wine list isn't extensive but I was able to fine a decent Chardonney. I like that I could get a 9oz pour on wine which works out good for me, since 6 isn't quite enough and 2 glasses is usually more than I want. They also have a large menu of draft beers that looked interesting. I had an amazing plate of steak tips and rice pilaf!!! They were cooked perfectly and very tender, unlike the last 2 times I was at certain well known restaurant in Raymond, NH. I spied several fantastic looking (and smelling) pizzas at other tables so I'll be checking those out soon. I had Lava Cake and ice cream for dessert that I enjoyed a lot. I've found in this type of restaurant the service is usually so-so. Not at Front Row. The server I had was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive and helpful. She had a lot of tables and kept everyone happy and smiling. For casual dining and take-out I'm giving 5 stars. read more

We ordered over 140$ worth of food and one of the salads was doused with dressing when it should have been on the side and the manager argued saying it was not there fault so why should they have to send something out for free. We will not use them again. Not the first negative experience we've had from a place that brings them a ton of business. Terrible customer service. read more

Expensive for NH, $17 for a small calzone and it was bad. It was pretty much a grilled cheese with salty chicken and absolutely no sauce. I'm spoiled coming from nyc but I've had better pizza for less than half the price. I couldn't stomach it and got heartburn. Focus on the quality and stop trying to rush orders. People confuse fast delivery for good service. No... Good quality food takes time to cook. read more

Always takes forever to get a delivery or take out order. They are consistently rude to customers. The food is mediocre at best. Tonight I placed a pizza order, they stated "45 min to an hour". My daughter waited an additional 20 minutes. One would think perhaps management would comp the pizza. But shockingly (sarcasm) they did not. So done with this place. read more

By far the best pizza in the state. Moderately expensive but the portions are very large. Service is great and always on time. Can be a wait during busy hours so get orders in early - either way very worth it. We frequent!! read more

The food is always fine, they have really good onion rings and grilled buffalo chix is always on point. The reason for the 2 stars is the service, its like I fell unwanted when I walk in the door. The girls behind the counter need to pull the stick out of their collective you know whats, and put a smile on their face. I go to New England Pizza a lot more now even though the food is worse I feel appreciated for going inside. read more

I used to do a lot of work in Exeter. Every time I would be so excited knowing that I would be eating at front row for lunch. Their steak tip sub is by far the best steak and cheese I have ever had in my life. I have shown this place to a lot of people and have gotten the same response as my own. The place always seems to be packed no matter what time you go and there's a reason for that! Keep up the good work Front Row and don't change a thing. read more

All of this talk about pizza - ignore the pizza! The reason I keep coming back to Front Row (probably too much) is the chicken tenders! They are amazing, plus the honey mustard dipping sauce that goes with them is delicious. Another favorite of mine are the spicy fries. If you've been to Front Row and haven't tried the chicken tenders and spicy fries, you're missing out. read more

Best buffalo chicken pizza I've ever head. Perfect flakey crust, perfectly cooked, light heat in the buffalo sauce and REAL grilled chicken. Absolutely perfect. Possibly the best I've ever had. Connie behind the bar was also very personable and friendly. Great draft selection that I didn't get to try because I'm workings read more

Best pizza in town!! Crust is delicious! Also love the chicken tenders, which are crisp and flavorful, and the tuna salad with Greek dressing and pita bread- huge portion! Anytime I come to NH to visit my family we order takeout! read more

We're regulars for takeout weekly. Always consistent, salads are excellent, sweet potato fries and onion rings are top notch. They have a terrific beer selection and always a pretty face to serve them. Regardless of what the owner said, he has his right to say it. I'll continue to support Front Row as its one of the best restaurants in Exeter. read more

Valerie was are server tonight,She was in point with everything and made sure we didn't go without anything. The experience was the best we have had and food was very yummy. read more

Probably one of the better pizza places around. Not your typical greek pizza joint either. Menu is huge with lots of choices. Pizza is killer and always a go to but their other food choices are fantastic. Would recommend the steak tips or chicken tender dinner. Delivery time can vary though, they usually give between 45 to an hour delivery. read more

I've always had consistently good food here..I know there will be some people who say otherwise but I honestly think that this is the best pizza in the area. Their buffalo chicken pizza is excellent My complaint is that the don't have red bell peppers so their sausage pepper onion stuff can be a little bitter. It is however still delicious. Recommendation: try the steak tips! Unbelievable. The bartenders are always friendly and remember you every time you go there. Reasonable prices and fresh ingredients. read more

I've had Front Row several times. It's always been very good, aside front the rude girl on the phone when I order to go. Tonight, however, was the worst thing EVER. My pizza came and hour and 15 after I ordered it, when they said 30 minutes. It was cold, soggy, the guy got lost, and they didn't seem the least bit sorry. Frankly I'm pissed. read more

I had this pizza and i consider myself an expert on pizza being from the boston area and let me tell u two-thumbs up! This place runs a pizzajoint like it should be run and i understand cost these guys are running a show here and the restaurant is nice... Also they have sub-combos and pasta dishes... What a nice fix for this area keep doing it guys... A satisfied customer.... read more

100% Disappointed. Waited 30 minutes to be seated and guests that arrived after us were seated first. When I questioned why this would happen I was told that no less than four people could be seated at a booth. So a party of two or three takes longer to be seated than a party of four. Not good practice so we took our business elsewhere. I suppose this is par for the course since the owner complained about potential loss of business when the road was shut down for a fallen police officer's funeral procession. If I could have chosen zero stars I would have. read more

Great place for pizza and a beer with friends. Watching the game or a dinner out with the family. Friendly staff.

This place has the best PIZZA and WING DINGS ever go here it is the best!

Been often. Best pizza in the area. My wife loves their chicken alfredo. Place get very busy, but the large staff keeps things relatively fast. read more

You know, this place really does a nice job. If i sit down and think about any changes I would make if I ran things here, I usually end up thinking just how well they are being done already. Portions are very generous, beers selection is solid & tap lines ensure ice cold pints. FR doesn't get enough credit for its non-pizza awesomeness. Fish & chips are some of the best I've had (w/ sweet potato fries), the grilled chicken is amazing on any salad - freshly grilled/marinated & not dry/pre-prepared like so many places. Try the Penne a la Vodka Carbonara if you want something yummy. White pizza rocks. Thin crust requests work. The lobster roll is styled a little differently but is full of yumminess & not pricey. I suppose I could ask for a few more fresh veggies/salad options other than iceberg (admittedly crisp & fresh) , but that would require the prices to jack up a bit and I'm not sure how many others out there would be willing to pay a bit more for the upgrade. To the owner - "Thank you!" Our local go-to stays wonderful & when we venture elsewhere we often comment that we still like FR better. And of course, the pizza rocks. A brick or wood-fired oven might be nice, but that slows things down a lot, adding a cost & sour faces to the hungry masses. FR's system works well & puts pies out quickly, and the quantity for the price is amazing. Try a white pizza w/ pesto, chicken & artichokes. With a micro-brew of your choice & a Bruins/Sox game. Thank me later. The service is always friendly & attentive. Professional & thoughtful. Keep up the good work. [Exeter resident] :) read more
