This is the best take-out/deli-style place on the North Shore. Hands down!! I LOVE the Grecian pizza. You must try it! It is the best, gooey goodness ever. It is a white pizza with alfredo sauce, feta cheese, spinach, onions (the good kind, sliced thin), tomatoes, and olives (if you like olives, which I don't). I can't tell you how heavenly this pizza is. The feta is so salty and the sauce is so rich. I am sitting here drooling....yum! read more

I read the reviews and was nervous about trying mikes place. But, bouam I glad I decided to give them a try. I had the Monterey Salad and it was fantastic. Tons of freshly grilled chicken not and bacon. Really great salad. My husband had the large steak bomb and he was also pleased. We had it delivered to Rockport and it arrived half an hour after we ordered. We now want to try the rest of the menu. read more

This place is a HOT spot for subs and pizza. I've been in here three times in the last month, and every time the phone is ringing off the hook. They have two people answering phones. It's crazy busy. In fact, it's often difficult to place a dinner order as the line is busy on repeated attempts. Anyhow -- the food is excellent. Greek stuff, steak tips, salads, italian subs, pizza, the works. Everything I've had is fresh, huge, and delicious. Not a single complaint about the food. Mike's has a huge menu with pretty much every item you could want from a "pizza joint" and they are fast. I recommend takeout as the ordering counter is so busy that it's difficult to have a quiet meal at this place. Delivery is also exactly what they promise (45 minutes to Rockport, which is, believe it or not, better than most places). The delivery guy has been on time every single time. This place gives Destino's a run for their money ... but Destino's is still my personal favorite as they've been around 50+ years and make the best chicken parm known to man. read more

$13.45 for large chicken finger sub three way. Fool me once I will not be back to be ripped off again oh and it was pickup not delivery so with the $1 dollar I put in the tip jar for the workers it was almost $15 read more

This place is great! And to say that about any sub shop in the Gloucester area is pretty tough to do. The pizza is huge and spiced perfectly! They always have awesome combo deals, usually on the weekends, and the staff is amazing! I don't live in the area anymore but we make special trips as we are passing through to stop here. Besides the pizza you gotta try the BLT and any other the other amazing, and quite large subs. They have a small parking lot shared with a small grocer but it's worth the tiny bit of hassle. read more

Mikes used to be great. You locals know that. Then they were bought by someone else. They were still pretty good. Now the original Mikes people opened at Gloucester Crossing. You would think Mikes would step up to the competition. It's summer! Well, I just ordered a chicken kabob salad. Used to be one of their best dishes. Not any more. I have cold, undercooked chicken on a pretty good salad. Sorry, it doesn't compare to what you used to be. You may be able to fool tourists, but September comes too soon. We remember. This is just not even close to what you used to be. All it would take is some good management. It's Tuesday night! What happens on a Friday? Don't even want to imagine. It had no feta or onions either. Goodbye. read more

Towards the end of my time in Gloucester I stopped by Mike's a few times and it made me wish I'd discovered them earlier. They have a huge menu, but what I really like there is their gyro, a sandwich not offered by many other sub shops on the N. Shore. Mike's is a commendable rendition of it, and I'll miss it now that I'm gone. You can also get a very large cheeseburger with the works for $4.01, a great value, in my estimation. Unfortunately, they have glommed onto the lamentable trend in takeout of only selling fries in huge portions for a price that almost equals your sandwich. No wonder this nation is so damned chunky..... The only Mike's miss for me was a lamb kabab that was too dry, a common problem that volume takeout places have with their kababs. No biggie - just get a gyro! read more

Great place. Orders are always correct, delivered on time or before the estimated delivery time. Polite people, fantastic food, and overall an excellent experience. read more

Sauce on the pizza is too sweet, even for me. Sweet and spicy wings are good.

My bf and I are major calzone lovers. Every time we travel we always try new pizza places. We actually found this place by accident, and went here as a last ditch effort. To our amazement they had calzones. We have tried multiple places since then, and NOTHING beats theirs. The best calzone we've ever had. And the portion sizes are huge. We have only ordered to go and takeout... sounds like they are horrible at delivery so just don't do that option? Its a typical hole in the wall diner, so don't expect 5 star service people. But do they have good cheap food that fills you up? Yes. With that being said, it's definitely a hidden gem! read more

Mike’s Place - The best calzone ever! - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Ordered two roast beef sandwiches with mayo to go. At home, discovered they put sad BBQ sauce instead of mayo. Gave to dog. Beware .

I was optimistic........first time trying Mikes place AFTER having new owners even though the exchange of hands happened many years ago! Luckily I wasn't totally let down, all the meat was great! However, they offer mashed potatoes with gravy as a side......... my daughters and I ordered 2 servings with extra gravy. What I got was gravy ONLY on top of potatoes (not mashed) with none on the side even though I offered to PAY for extra. Also......I clearly ordered MASHED POTATOES......NOT baked potato chopped up with gravy pored on top!! I would have ordered baked if that's what I wanted.......but Mike's Place didn't care. They assumed I wouldn't be able to tell the difference even though it's OBVIOUS if mashed taters happens to be your choice of sides!! Lol. Anyway, my POINT, the $ I paid was NOT worth the food I got!!! read more

Do NOT order from this place. Our order took over an hour to get here and 3 out of the 4 meals were wrong/disgusting. Asked for no mayo and white bread- the sandwich was saturated with mayo on wheat bread. Asked for no tomatoes on an Italian sub due to a minor allergy- sub had tomatoes. The chicken Caesar wrap didn't have much dressing and also had a nice long hair in the middle! Called to complain to see if they could refund it and the girl had a major attitude and would not give a refund, only a new order. Why would we want to wait another hour for food that was DISGUSTING. Don't waste your money or time here! read more

I will never go to Mike's place again as someone's hair was in the chicken wings that I ordered and the fried dough was burned. I did call them they offered to make a new order and deliver it but I had to tell them no because of how disgusted I was and that I will not be ordering from them again. read more

Me and my co worker just ordered a super beef and they were disgusting. The roastbeef was all fatty it made me nauseous hate biting into chunks of fat. read more

Delivery is fast! Great roast beef, pizza, steak tip salad and actually everything is great! Some of the order taking staff need to be more friendly and less abrupt. read more

Good god. Brain-dead ordering experience. I've been here for ten years... here's hoping that we don't go off a cliff. What the hell happened to this place? They used to be very solid and had a great grill. It's a travesty now. read more

The food we ordered was advertised to come with toppings ok the subs and they were bare. The food was cold even though we were made to wait. The garlic bread sticks had grease dripping through the box. It was such a waste of money and time. read more

I've never been disappointed with Mike's. Love their cheese steak. Great calzones. Steak tip sub was great. Pizza is good. Generous portions. Good value. read more

For the last three days I have ordered from Mike's and for the last 3 days my order has come f***** up because the people that are working there don't look at what's on the the menu or the slip I got I ordered a large pepperoni extra cheese pizza yesterday they couldn't slice it Saturday I ordered a pastrami bomb with no mushrooms and extra cheese and I didn't get my onions and peppers in my pastrami sandwich was a waste of my time and on the day before they didn't get my they didn't get my right order I'm going through someone else I'm going through Greg's as a matter of fact cuz they don't suck in Mikes does because none of the f****** idiots at work that can get the f****** orders straight and that includes the f****** God damn immigrants read more

Where do I even begin? My family And I ordered a pizza, onions rings and a wrap. We asked for delivery. Normally if places are backed up they make you aware. Nope. We waited over an hour and a half. We called numerous times just to be given the runaround, sarcastic remarks with no direct answer. We looked on the GPS and it was only 8 mins from our location. We got into our car and drove to pick up the food we ordered almost 2 hours ago. We walked in and weren't even greeted by 3 young "women" who knew exactly who we were, laughed in our face. We asked to speak to the manager which one of the little girls said they were. No managerial etiquette at all. If I could rate 0 stars I would. If you want to wait 2 hours, with kids, and mediocre food, go for it. Never ever again. This place is run by idiots. read more

Ordered delivery last night with the family. We had ordered here before and found it to be just average but last night was disgusting. We ordered the chicken Parma with ziti for my dad and it was so gross. First of all there was no "parm" and the chicken looked like it had been reheated a bunch of times. I thought he got veal by accident but my mom tried it and said it was definitely chicken. The sauce was super watery and sweet - gross. I ordered the eggplant parm sub and I could only eat a little. Won't be ordering from there again read more

Horrible experience. Just moved to the area last month, Mike's on a neighbors recommendation... Worst mistake, won't ever go back. First off, ordered delivery, told me 40 minutes... OK. Then they're late, they get there in 45.. OK, no big deal, food was cold. Called to complain, they tell me they can have new food out in 2 hours.... 2 hours?!?? Seriously? Returned food myself for refund, staff was rude and ignorant. read more

So yet again, this place was a huge disappointment. I ordered pizza for pickup around 4:25 and asked that it be ready for 5 o'clock. Two large pizzas. They said "no problem" when i told them my husband's name and said he would be by to get it. Well, he showed up- no pizzas ready (in fact, no memory of our order), and the place was a disorganized madhouse. The best explanation they could give him was another person with the same name placed a similar order and they thought our order was a duplicate. It would have been forever to wait to a replacement order so we said "screw it" and had dominoes delivered to the beach in under 20 minutes. Get your acts together, Mike's. read more

I HATE this place like I cannot even tell you!!! We have given this place more than one chance and they are just horrible. Sad because there are not a lot of delivery places in Gloucester! We ended up there after a terrible Valentine's day once where our basement was flooding. We ordered a cheesesteak calzone and paid for it. They handed us a Chicken Kabob calzone. When we told them it wasn't what we ordered they said, sorry we are closing, just take it and go!!! My husband doesn't eat mushrooms, peppers, or onions. He sat at home eating his chicken and bread that he could pick clean while I went to bed starving and threw the rest away in the morning! read more

i have gone here more times than i'd ever be able to recount. i always loved whatever i got. everyone goes here for the chicken kabob salads and subs, at which they do excel... in gloucester. cape ann pizza and subs in essex wins this competition, but mike's IS the gloucester winner. great steak tip subs. decent cheese steak. the pizza is good for sub shop pizza, but don't expect anything more than that. as in, this place is more for subs than pizza. sometimes there are pizza places with subs. this is a sub shop with pizza. am i totally talking out of my ass here? probably. the cold subs are all pretty good. the calzones are good if you order something easy. awesome chicken fingers and other sides. here's where i start talking shit, though. the last handful or ten of times we ordered from mike's, there was always some form of mistake from our order; something was missing, something had extra shit we didn't want, etc. enter the worst time ever. the only time we ordered a calzone, they literally screwed it up THREE TIMES. we asked for a calzone that came with onions, without the onions. this apparently meant that we wanted all onions with perhaps a sprinkling or two of the other ingredients. we brought it back and they "fixed it." we checked it before we left. it wasn't even remotely the same calzone we ordered. they fix it. the calzone comes home. it's not even the right calzone, AGAIN. it doesn't have onions so we friggin eat it. what the hell ever. p.s. we still had to pay for the calzone. fuck. then, oh THEN. this is about the last time i went in there. i got off the train (which is across the street and down a little bit) and i knew i'd be fending for myself for dinner. i was STARVING so i went to mike's because the place directly across the street from the train station, the gloucester depot, wasn't open yet. i ordered a chicken kabob salad because i was feeling nostalgic. i ordered, sat down, and literally 30 seconds later (no joke, this was a legit 30 seconds. i hadn't even finished writing a text) they called my name because my order was done. i brought it home and ate the mf-er, disregarding the fact that it takes more than a minute to cook fresh chicken. well well well, my friends, let me just tell YOU that i spent a bounty of quality time with my bathroom that night. i actually almost didn't go to work the next day, but suffered through with a severely weak stomach. i don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that my order seemed to not be prepared fresh for me, but my spidey sense leads me to believe my chicken was tainted, at best. it tasted fine. i wouldn't have eaten it otherwise. so that's that. mike's is a gloucester institution and for so long it was so good. maybe it's all been a case of bad luck, but how have there been 5-10 bad luck experiences in a row? i don't live in gloucester anymore, though, so it's not like it's this terrible burden on my life to have to eliminate a gloucester sub shop from a list of approximately 72. read more

Ordered delivery while at work. Roast beef dinner with shoe string fries. Took an hour for it to get to me and the fries were well past soggy and cold. The roast beefs bread was falling apart. Atleast they remembered my coca-cola. Terrible!!! read more

Best sub shop around. I love being in my hometown and getting mikes. The special sauce on the pizza is delicious and the chicken kebab salad with pita bread is banging! They even deliver to the beach!! Recommend mikes to anyone who wants good food, no thrills and good service. read more

Will not eat here again! Found a dead fly in my salad last night!!!!! I have never had a problem in the past, but am beyond disgusted in the cleanliness of this establishment! read more

Stopped by for a slice and it was absolute heaven. Slices are huge. A bit greasy, but nothing a few napkins couldn't fix. I highly recommend Mike's! read more

This place was great a few years back when igloo was next door. However, since then, it has been downhill. If you liked mikes 3-5 years ago, go to mikes in Beverly which is owned by the original owner of this mikes. This place is not worth the money, the quality is crap. read more

This place is as close to a college dining hall as you can get. It feels like an industrial food factory and everything you get has a mild taste of hamburgers. We tried hot subs and they were simply hot things on bland buns. One of us had a cheesburger sub and it was a greasy mess. The cheese steak with a bit better but lacking any steak flavor. They used to have a bit of character in years past but I think that ownership changed hands and the new team punches in, grills and punches out. read more

I've never had a problem at Mikes, but I always order their calzones, which are AMAZING and totally worth whatever b.s. you have to deal with. I've never had an issue with delivery, but I never order too frequently. I can't say anything for the rest of the menu, but the CALZONES ARE CRAZY GOOD. read more

Stopped by for a roast beef. Not impressed. The roast beef was not good. Will not return.

Had their chicken broccoli ziti once, was sick for 2 days with food poisoning. Never again

This is the second time I've order from Mike's. The Veal Parm was dry and it ended up in the trash. Sorry, try someplace else.

No stars, I ordered 2 honey BBQ steak tip salads and they gave me. Diners. Which were outrageously priced and claimed they don't make mistakes. The got an attitude when we didn't want the food. But asking me is I worked put me over the edge. Was lucky I didn't climb over the counter and knocked him out. Terrible customer service, would not go back ever again. You guy suck!! read more

Damn, Were we disappointed. Went there on a quiet Monday night. Split a Cheeseburger dinner plate. The employee couldn't understand that we wanted to pay extra for a larger salad-no biggie, we rolled with it and kept our money. Got home. A whole styrofoam clamshell of those pre-seasoned fries like you get at the grocery store-too salty, not fresh fries- and cold. No biggie, I'll eat fries off the floor. Salad: typical pizza joint salad. Iceburg lettuce, an olive, a slice of cucumber, one cherry tomato. was good though. The Cheese Burger: *sigh* Opened the wrapper (a la Mcdonalds, wrapped in paper) and found 2 badly cooked , almost burned, burgers on a grease soaked bun. They were black. Getting a visual? Now see this: nothing. No lettuce. No tomato. No condiments. Nothing. Two dry overcooked patties on a greasy roll-did I say that already?. Final review: I wish I threw my $14 off the Andrew Piatt Bridge and then found a billy goat to slam me in the nuts. read more

Use to be a big fan but now I prefer Leonardo's. The counter staff here are pretty rude. The quality has gone down, and the prices have gone way up. read more

Tuesday night around 7:30, I was put on hold as soon as they answered the phone, after a minute or so I placed my 1 large pepperoni and 1 large cheese pizza order. I was then told it would be 45 min - 1 hour for delivery.... a bit long for a Tuesday night..... any who Pizza was delivered closer to the 1 hour time frame, upon opening the pizza boxes I thought we had gotten 2 cheese pizza's...... I had to look carefully for the pepperoni, no exaggeration!!!! I think there may have been a total of 8 slices of pepperoni no more then 10! The price just under $25.00 for the 2 lg pizza's , very disappointed. Will not buy pizza again! The stars are for their steak tip salad and house dressing, my favorite. read more
