However it may not be the pick for someone who just wants the basic American tasting kind, and not really a dine in kind of place. I also got a ceaser salad and was surprised to see freshly shredded mozzarella on top, something I've never seen before in a boxed salad like that. Overall very nice, wonderfully made. I only gave four stars because it was a bit too tangy for my own personal taste, but I'm sure many others will find it five stars! *Also, regarding the previous comments about the pizza being soupy at first bite, I did not experience this!

Small shop on Broadway in Everett that's gotten some strong influencer push (read: hype) over the…read morelast six months, so curiosity led me there, but with no expectations (I generally take strong influencer push with a grain of salt). There are six tiny tables just large enough to hold a pizza box, and barely any standing room; it's mostly all about the takeout. Street parking isn't easy, but fairly achievable at $1 an hour at meters. There's a Walgreens parking lot right next door, but highly risky. Offsetting the minor logistical hassles is the convenient availability of slices, a rarity at pizza joints of this caliber. -- Pepperoni Pizza: A beautiful visual and a beautiful flavor and texture. I'll start with the crust, which strike me as a cross between Greek and New Haven: same airiness as Greek, but without the grease; thin and crisp like a New Haven, but without the heavy char. I liked that combination. Minimal droopage (I don't use Portnoy's f-word). The tomato was strong-- dark and spicy with good use of black pepper and oregano. The cheese was light in volume but very sharp. The pepperoni was somewhat thick and top-notch quality. On top of all that, fresh grated cheese for more sharpness and extra texture. The autumnal droppings of giant raw basil leaves didn't really add anything, but they didn't take anything away. Overall, great pizza. Elite, even. -- Cheesesteak: Ordered with onions on their excellent homemade sesame seed roll that's become commonplace among cheesesteak joints, but Square Deli was among the first to do it. Crusty on the outside, but with flexibility-- a great vessel. The beef is ribeye and it's shredded, kind of like a shredded beef dish at a Chinese restaurant. The pieces are flat and reasonably tender. The cheese is sharp, but it tastes and feels more like a beef sandwich with cheese, rather than that singular concoction of lusciousness that is Big Al's in Billerica. The onions added a little something but weren't as noticeable as the namesake ingredients. Good quality beef, cheese, and roll, all of it arriving piping hot, make it very satisfying. Overall, excellent, but not the elite I'd hoped. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: A giant, soft creation with a little something extra in the dough. Maybe coffee? A solid offering. As for the hype: Square Deli came through in flying colors on the pizza, and fell a little short on the cheesesteak, but it was still a very, very good cheesesteak. As for stars, an easy 5.

As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

I felt a lot of their items for grocery were very high. I ordered subs, they kind of rotate job duties and each staff just grabs whichever customer is next. This causes a bit of a jam when everyone is making subs vs designated people at stations. Had to get the italian tuna. Also go a veggie, which was good it reminded me of a sandwich I liked in Arizona. Subs in shop I think were more affordable than trying to use an app online. Got some coleslaw that is $6.99 a lb. And they have deli meats, but I just saw boars head. I think the Turkey was like $16.99 a lb. They also sell Dom's marinated meats but they were also very expensive. I would definitely come back for the veggie sub and the coleslaw was good but unfortunately out of my price range.
