I hit them on 3/14-- not because it was Pi Day, but because I love their pizza and happened to be nearby after my real lunch. So I had a second lunch (two slices from a whole pie that I'll finish another day). -- Pepperoni Pizza: I've come to expect high-quality and that's what I got. Lightly charred crust with a fairly firm base, neither done to an extreme. Unexpected was a bit of sourness to the cheese, which was actually a plus, adding complexity. Robust tomato sauce is there in greater supply than most, and I like that. Pepperoni isn't as thick as Tree House, but it's noticeably thicker than most, and much more flavorful. If there's a weakness to this pizza, it's that the crust is more of a vessel (though a well-cooked one) than flavor provider, but it delivers structure. There's more than enough flavor everywhere else. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: I always covet them but today I took the plunge. I expected good, but not necessarily great beyond pizza cookie standards. It's fairly thin, very bendy, and very moist, with so much chocolate that I feared it would detract from the dough. Not the case: despite a slight resemblance to supermarket bakery cookies, this dough emphasized butter, not sugar. And a fabulous butter at that (probably brown butter), bringing a darker flavor with nutty hints of caramel. Salt crystals on top are cliché nowadays, but restraint ensured they'd enhance, not distract. The flavor got better with every bite. Excellent cookie that would put many full fledged bakeries to shame. Back to the pizza: If you're not into the tomato, the char, or the lack of seating (2 booths), this place might not be for you. But I'm all for the first two and don't mind gambling on seating, because tailgating is always a worthy last resort for pizza this good. read more

Garlic Breath is fine. I think this style for pizza just isn't for me since I like a thicker crust that isn't charred. I've gotten pizza from here twice and both times the crust was overdone, even burnt in some spots. I ordered via the Toast app and there is the option to ask for a lighter bake which I wish I had done. Both times I ordered a pizza with pepperoni and mushroom with garlic bread crust which was about $30 after tax and tip. The pizza is large but still on the pricey side. The garlic bread crust seemed like it was just garlic powder seasoning so it doesn't add much flavor. However I appreciate that they are generous with the toppings and aside from the crust, everything else was good. The location is a pain to get in and out of because the parking lot is small and it's located on a busy spot on 114 next to Stop and Shop. read more

Garlic Breath Pizza - Pizza with pepperoni and mushroom and garlic bread crust which - Pizza Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

Like many others I bet, I heard about this place thru social media/word of mouth. As someone fairly well traveled and spent many years in Boston, been to NYC many times...even New Haven a few, I find most suburban pizza sub-standard. Needless to say this place has been on my list for many months. I have an acceptable pizza place practically outside my front door-so that definitely added to the wait. After that build up, I was definitely worried about being let down by hype. Well let me just say this. Solid 4.5 pizza, and to me, that's basically 5 stars because I respect pizza and I think 5's shouldn't just be thrown around willy nilly. The crust is supportive but not overdone. It's a little charred, but not so much you question it unless you're a pizza-wimp. The pepperoni and sauce MAKE THE PIZZA what it is. The taste is a little spicy or savory-it may be the only pizza I don't add ground pepper too. If I had to explain it to a stranger it reminds me a little bit of Romano's (Methuen and Salem) and Regina. It's obviously a bit garlic-y more than normal pizza...which I am all about. Now with all that said, the crust on my pizza was such that I didn't eat the very end...perhaps because of the char...but the rest of it was very good. Oh and service was very good. I would recommend, maybe not to people who like their food bland. read more

Garlic Breath Pizza - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

I can confidently say this is the best pizza I've tried in the Boston area! I've had Garlic Breath Pizza on my radar after hearing good reviews and it truly did not disappoint. We ordered their pepperoni pizza with hot honey and garlic bread crust, and it completely blew us away. The crust is perfect crisp, the sauce is slightly tangy and sweet, and the pepperoni is addictive. The hot honey and garlic bread crust are really the cherry on top of an already good pizza, but beware that this makes for one greasy pie! My only complaint is that I wish the interior of the restaurant were a bit more accommodating for guests.. it's clear that most of their business is takeout only. They do have a couple of tables to sit at, but I wish the ambience were a bit similar to your typical NY/NJ pizzeria. read more

Garlic Breath Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

So I saw this place on Phantom Gourmet a few weeks ago and I've been thinking about it since then. My nephew loves it here so it was a good excuse to take him to lunch. Oh my. If you're familiar with Armando's in Cambridge, Garlic Breath took me back to my childhood memories of my favorite pizza growing up eating at Armando's. Outstanding pizza. Also sneaky outstanding was their chocolate chip cookie. I would go back just for the cookie. Great job Garlic Breath. So so good. read more

My partner and I shared a pepperoni pizza (garlic bread crust), cheese pizza (well done bake), and cookie - TASTE: 4/5 - I loved the garlic bread crust and salt topping on the chocolate chip cookie, otherwise both the pepperoni and cheese tasted pretty standard. Wish we tried the special "fire marshal Bill" pizza too TEXTURE: 5/5 - definitely memorable in its super crunchy texture, airy crust, and no flop -- glad to have New York-style pizza up here. Also, my favorite cookies are super thick and chunky, but was still nice to switch it up w this extra thin one PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $49 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - 16" pizzas which left us w plenty of leftovers. Single slices are available at select times SERVICE: 4/5 - ordered online on a Sunday afternoon and arrived 1 hour later to the pizzas being ready on time ATMOSPHERE: 3/5 - classic pizzeria vibe w lots of 90s throwback decor. Wish the space was bigger for more seating PARKING: 5/5 - plenty of parking in the Jasmine Plaza lot read more

Great Pizza!!!!!!!!! Crispy crust and best chocolate chip cookies around!! Nice staff. Try their meatballs!!!

Tried the garlic bread pizza and really enjoyed it -- the cheese paired with the garlic bread dough made it flavorful and satisfying. The spot also has a Street Fighter arcade game, which is a fun bonus while waiting for your order. Overall, good pizza and a fun atmosphere. read more

The fire Marshal Bill Pizza is quite good. Best take out pizza in the area that we have tried. Worth driving 20 minutes for. No real seating in the restaurant but not an issue since take out and all. Garlic crust pizzas are also quite good. Havent tried anything else here because we have trouble not ordering the same two pies every time. read more

Label me impressed! As a Garlic lover this thin sliced pizza is the way to go! Only 2 tablespoons to dine in . read more

Legit some of the best pizza in the state. I haven't done takeout, only eaten at the restaurant and it's always been delicious. A++++

Grabbed a large half cheese/half mushroom pizza and two cookies to go. Pizza was excellent. The mushrooms are fresh mushrooms but roasted before cooking on the pizza-they were so good! I'm not a fan of fresh(uncooked) mushrooms or canned on pizza, so I was very pleased that these were roasted to perfection! We drove from Garlic Breath to Burlington and the pizza was still somewhat hot and in good shape after the drive. When we got back to the house my mother in law said "I'm going to skip the pizza, I'm not that hungry" but I told her we bought her a chocolate chip cookie and she could try it and save it for later. She ate the whole thing and said it was delicious! Service was friendly and quick! It's a very small place with only a couple of booths but decorated 80's style. If it wasn't so far out of our way I would go back more often. read more

Absolutely fantastic New York style pizza. Retro 80s/90s vibe inside, not really a place you sit down and eat but more of a take out restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Passed this place a number of times till I ordered and found this tucked in the back of a long circuitous drive and strip mall. Super crowded and parking is limited but not too bad. The crust is thin NY style with garlic baked in and the sauce is sweet and perfect. Had the pepperoni that comes completely full of meat and cheese, had to try a sausage with onions and peppers, and the cheese is a classic on their red sauce. Next time I'm getting everything, pepperoni, their homemade sausage, meatballs, onions and peppers! Simply great pizza! read more

ok, i'll be the first to admit it- who doesn't want to eat at a place called "garlic breath pizza"? while i went into the joint expecting to walk into a cloud of garlic aromas, i was greeted by friendly staff and the retro vibe of the joint. only a couple of cloves of garlic are in each batch of sauce. slice is 3.25, toppings are standard and on one of the tables. overall would come back - easy, NY style pizza. no frills, great crust. missed opportunity to not have a garlic lovers pizza! read more

Pizza was served luke warm because apparently they make them in advance during busy times. I would rather wait an hour for a piping hot pizza than 12 minutes for a room temperature pizza. Joanie's in Chelmsford does the same thing. No thanks. read more

Tried this place last week for the first time; it was delicious, the best pizza I've had in a long time. Get the garlic crust!

They serve pizza. Don't come to this pizza place If you want a sub, they have pizza. Ok so they also have a salad, meatballs and some deserts, but it's a pizza place. Floor to ceiling the ambience is amazing. The floor is awesome, it screams pizza joint. I ordered pepperoni with sausage on half. The pizza was cooked perfect. Crispy bottom but chewy. The cheese and sauce works in perfect harmony. I love the cupped pepperoni. The sausage is to die for. So much flavor in every bite. Damn this is good. read more

The pizza was just as ordered half pepperoni and half cheese. The crust was crispy and tasty. No other offerings but meatballs which we have enjoyed on past visits. Service was fast and accurate. The smallish seating area was neat and clean. Highly recommend. read more

I thought the pizza was tasty. Good cheese to sauce ratio and the dough is thin and crisp and held up well! The garlic bread crust was very good, I just wish it was a bit more garlicky! They have a small outside seating spot with a few chairs where you can wait if you choose. Located on 114, easy to find but tough to get out of during certain times. I would definitely go back. The wait wasn't very long and let me not forget to mention, the chocolate chip cookies are big and very yummy! read more

GOOD, to Excellent! A great pizza. Flavorful, great dough, simple menu, a few well-placed topping selections, this is a streamlined Pizza only kind of place, with a Medium sized college just around the corner. This is the kind of place that is going to set the bar for thousands of students for years to come. Don't ya hate it when your formative years you get some of the best pizza in the area, everything else is going to pale in comparison except those students who go to Yale in New Haven CT! Well worth a 10-mile detour! And the owner is a wonderful man! Aim's to please, "just let me know." Sallys, the original Pepes, and the other place are worth a 50-to-70-mile detour! For Comparision. read more

This pizza spot was awesome and might be my favorite one yet!! The service was quick and I love do how you could watch them make the pizza! We got it Saturday and come Monday I was thinking about ordering it again... We were going to take out but once I walked in and saw the green checkered floor with the retro arcade game & the tv cassettes I had to stay! The pizza was delicious, had the perfect crunch, not one bit of grease, great cheese to sauce ratio and just the right amount of ronis. The pizza fold wasn't like one I've seen before, I cannot say enough great things about this pizza. Had to finish it off with the chocolate chip cookies and yeah those were fire too!!

Good NY style pizza - for me a 4 star rating means that its worth a trip to visit this place. (5 is reserved for best in class anywhere and 3 means good local pizza but not worth a drive). There's an interesting video on YouTube where the owner explains how they decided to run the business and some of the choices and tradeoffs that he made to get the business going. He seems to be really sharp about taking a focused approach to running the business. I'm going to compare Garlic Breath pizza to Joanie's in Chelmsford. Garlic Breath is as good as Joanie's, but different. Both have crisp crusts and good sauce and cheese. However, I like the crust a little better on Joanie's because their crust can have large blisters and char. Whereas Garlic Breath doesn't go that far with their crust because they determined that their local customers don't want the blisters and char. I would say that Joanie's is closer to Pepe's style of crust due to the blisters and char. Whereas as Garlic Breath is like NY pizza and to some extent like Sally's because it's crisp, but doesn't have the blisters and char. I always taste test with a sausage pizza and Garlic Breath has chunks of homemade sausage scattered across the pie, whereas Joanie's crumbles the sausage to uniformly cover the pizza. I prefer the sausage on Garlic Breath. Finally, Joanie's is easier to get to because it's close to the highway exit whereas Garlic Breath is a bit of a drive to get to North Andover. However, Garlic Breath seems to have more capacity to produce pizza. I called them at 5PM on a weeknight and they could have my pizza ready in 15 minutes. Whereas Joanie's seems to be more difficult to get with longer waits and selling out of dough. Overall, Garlic Breath is great pizza and I will go there again - when I'm in the general area. read more

This place looks really cool it has an old fashion pizzeria design. Gives me almost like Stranger Things Vibes. Pizza is good I ordered half cheese half pepperoni. The workers are nice people they seem to enjoy their job. The only thing I didn't like is that there are only 2 tables to sit at. I would recommend this place read more

Garlic Breath Pizza opened recently in the Jasmine Plaza next to Shunju. This little pizza shop offers NY style thin crust pizzas by the whole pie (18") or slice, plus gluten free pizza (12"), meatballs, and cold drinks in the cooler. The place is order at the counter and there are few tables and booths in here to eat your food. shakers There are shakers with garlic powder, red pepper, oregano, and parmesan cheese at each table. I took a quick break and stopped by Garlic Breath Pizza recently and picked up a slice of Cheese Pizza ($3.75 with tax), which was reheated in the pizza oven. I enjoyed my hot pizza slice here. The slice had a thin crispy crust with a bit of soft moist dough topped with a slightly salty red sauce and browned melted cheese. I quickly ate my pizza before heading back out on the road. read more

My friend who is a NY native said this is the closest to true NY style pizza she's had since she moved to MA. She was truly so happy and so was I! We walked in and were able to immediately order our pizzas. We were told it would only be 10 minutes and it was exactly that! We both got a half pepperoni w hot honey and cheese. It was sooooo good and I loved the crust, it was perfectly chewy but crunchy! The restaurant front has a 90's vibe to it with VHS tapes lining the wall, posters, and a street fighter arcade machine. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely pick up some boxes of this deliciousness! read more

A Hidden Gem We were coming back from Canobie Lake and were looking to grab a quick bite. We had heard good things about Garlic Breath and figured why not give it a try. Unassuming and tucked away in a strip mall, you might not give it a second look. We got there a bit late and they were shutting down. However, my wife and I with two kids in tow must have looked hungry. Showing that there is still some legit kindness in the world, the staff member said "Sorry we're shutting down. But we have some slices left and you can have them on us. We'll heat them up for you." Well, we couldn't turn that offer down and loaded up on some drinks and grabbed a seat. The smell was heavenly. There just isn't much better than the smell coming out of a busy pizza oven! The pizza slices came out piping hot and looking perfect. A combination of a few cheese and a few pepperoni. The crust was perfect. Crunchy but with a good amount of "give". The sauce had enough zip without overpowering. The cheese was cooked perfectly and add some nice saltiness. My daughter said it was the best pizza she had ever had. I'd say it was right up there. You don't need a big menu when you do pizza darn near perfect. Keep it up guys! We'll be back for sure. read more

We all really enjoyed our 18" pepperoni pizza. We also tried the meatballs and everybody agreed they were excellent. I ordered online, which saved a lot of time and allowed me to pay in advance with Apple Pay. The pizza was ready in about 30 minutes. The guy behind the counter was friendly when we picked up the order. I do wish they had delivery. I'm attaching a photo of their menu board that I took when they first opened. They may have expanded their menu a bit since then, but it is still quite limited as you can see! read more
