Just changed owners and product quality and volume has already gone down. There's a reason they were in business for a long time. Hopefully the new ownership does not drive it into the ground. read more

You get *better* than what you pay for. I was waiting for the commuter rail free work and decided to pick up a small pizza for dinner. I ordered the Buffalo chicken pizza and was told it'll be a 15-20 min wait time. The place is takeout only during covid but they have a couple couches for people to wait. Ample free parking in the parking lot in the plaza. They have the usual options from pizza to subs. Sadly no slices were left so I had to get a small pizza. I got my pizza within the estimate and it was piping hot. It was surprisingly a big size - close to a medium. The pizza was loaded with chicken and sauce. It was baked to perfection - not too dry. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area. Great after work cheap option! Especially if you're waiting for the train. read more

The pizza is one of the better pizzas in the area. It's similar to a New York style pizza which is good because Merrimack valley is overloaded with that Greek style greasy oily stuff. Crust was cooked well. Nice bubbles on the pizza and it was cooked very evenly. Pizza had a nice crunch to it as well. read more

The homemade bread and salad dressing makes their salads extra special. Totally worth the trip.

Good food at a decent price. Not a huge menu but the basics, pizza (slices ) , calzones, subs, salads, etc. Fast - order was ready in 10 minutes which is appreciated. I prefer the chicken kabob sub and salad. Take out only now due to COVID. read more

Love the meatballs here and pizza is always good. Small subs are huge!! Staff are always friendly. Clean take-out place.

Amazing NY style thin crust pizza. My whole fam said where did you get this pizza? It's amazing! We eat pizza weekly at various restaurants so this was a real surprise Delish! read more

This small sub and pizza shop in Lawrence is a good place to grab lunch. The prices are on target with what other sub shops are and the subs themselves are good. The pizza is a average, but I admit there are better places close by that are better for the same basic prices. There was a good lunch special for 2 slices of pizza and a soda which I found to be a good value. The staff is always friendly and the service is always quick. read more

Call me crazy but i like my pizza like a salad. This pizza fits the perfect definition of what a pizza should be like. crust slightly chewy not doughy. ingredients came on top were fresh the fried eggplants would quite literally melt in your mouth.this place is worth trying! read more

Salads are amazing. Delicious and cooked to perfection every time. However, their hours are not reliable. Sometimes I'll call during open hours and they don't answer. Sometimes they answer and say they are closed as they decided to close early. This is not a single incident. Happens all the time. They are also not open on the weekends. However, if you can catch them while open, try their salads! read more

Everything that I've tried from here has been exceptional, from the pizza to their chicken tenders! Staff are always polite and professional, never a disappointment. Definitely recommend. read more

PROS: Cheap. When you guy 2 slices of pizza at lunch, you get a free drink. CONS: The pizza was super greasy. And they didn't have that much pizza available... we were in a rush and wanted whatever was ready and they only had a few slices ready. If you are in a rush, don't come here. read more

Horrible Customer Service. Owner is rude. They made a mistake on an order and refused to correct the situation. Kicked an employee of ours out who was trying to complete the order. My company frequents this establishment and he is aware of that. When I called the owner he became argumentative, I mentioned the fact that we order food from them regularly, he told me to f...k myself and not to come back. Note over 100 employees will be advised of the owners attitude. Will advise several more. Personally I never liked the place and only ordered my food because others were ordering. read more

The best chicken finger salad in the area !! House dressing is bomb !! Honestly all their salads are my favorite and the prices are great !!! Just hate when they're so busy and you can't get through !! read more

While I'm on Yelp today, I figured I should pop over here and leave a review of Paisano's. Unfortunately, I am moving in a few short weeks but before I do, I need to sing their praises. I love this place because even when I haven't been there in a few months, they act like I was just there a week ago. The girls that work the counter are super nice and make it worth popping in for take out. I've never had the pizza, so I can't speak to that. My boyfriend and I tend to split a sub and a salad. Our splurge sub is a steak bomb, minus the green peppers, but with jalapenos. Holy hell do that make it good! Salads are great, with excellent, fresh pita bread and lots of components to it, not generic like most sub shops. Chicken kabob, also awesome. I got a calzone there once and it was ginormous. It was three times the size that I thought it would be. And again, it was yummo. I would love to give them a full five but they are lacking in self promotion. You have to ask for a menu. They are kept behind the counter, not out in the open. And it's impossible to find a menu online - the one in the Yelp photo is hard to read too, but honestly is the best you'll find for them. If they promoted better, I would call in for take out more. I have the convenience of living across the street, so we can just walk over there, but it would be nice to have a menu to look at in case we want to stray from our usual, or if we just want to be lazy. Definitely pop in there for the food though! read more

Everything here is good! It's close to my work and its cheap, so I am a frequent customer. Place is clean and well kept. Always busy at lunch time. Huge menu to choose from. So far I have only had the pizza, meatball sub, chicken kabob and italian sub....but they were all yummy! read more

This pizza joint has the best house salad dressing. And with their salads comes this flat bread that is like pizza dough...cooked. Their pizza??? Subs??? I wouldn't know because I have to have a salad every time. Did I mention they are so close to my job that we order from them at least twice a month (sometimes weekly.) Some people I work with go daily or at least it seems that way. Wouldn't change a thing. read more

Ordered a wrap, it was an ok grilled chicken wrap. Very greasy and too much dressing

We live across the street and our go-to place is Romano's, which is maybe an extra two minute walk from Paisano's. but we wanted to try something new, so we did. The large veggie deluxe came with more toppings and a lower price point than their neighbor, so that was good. Unfortunately that is where most of the positives ended for us. The crust was forgettable, the dough was thin and soggy, and the comments from my family was that they must have spilled water on the pizza. In reality I think this was due to the fresh tomatoes and broccoli toppings. Fresh produce is never a bad thing, unless it makes your pizza soggy. I will point out that the sogginess was not grease (which another recent reviewer complained about). The pizza tasted rather light and we may have enjoyed it if the moisture content was under control. The three of us left two slices which saw the trash. Who throws away pizza?! :( I would say we would be back to try a different pie, but we always only get veggie pizzas (despite the fact that I love meat), so this will probably be our only visit. read more

After eating pizzas all over Essex County, this is the Best pizza I've tried. Very nice people and great service.

Definitely a 4 star for classic little new England pizza places. I went for the cheesesteaks. The chicken bomb was insane! Really good, big chunks of white meat, large, and cheap. read more

Moved backed to New England and this is just what I was looking for: A good everyday pie in the neighborhood. The Baklava is also great. A wet walnut bottom with a crispy top. read more

I don't really like salads but these guys do make great salads. Calzones are phenomenal! Pizzas and calzones get greasy because they use real ingredients. The staff has always been super friendly! read more

MVCU Corporate down the street LOVES Magna, and her chicken salad, and tuna. She makes a great sub, and the food there is always great! You want a great sub at a great price...go here. read more

Awesome food but CLOSED on Saturdays? Ridiculous. There goes a good percentage of your business.

I will and can only judge this place on their salads. And for that alone they get a five out five. Their bread is soft and fluffy and their chicken kabob salads are big,juicy,flavorful and honestly perfect. I have never order anything else cause I figure if it ain't broke don't fix it. But if your looking for a great salad and great pita bread this is the place. read more

Ordered a kabob salad to go and when I got home I had realized it was only lettuce and red onion. It was pretty disappointing and the customer service was not helpful at all, the only solution they had was for me to drive all the way back and they would give me "salad toppings" read more

What to say but yummy. Worth the chance of being shot, carjacked or robbed in the hell hole of Lawrence.

This is our standby for Thursday office lunch for (at least) the last 3 years. Great subs, salads and pizza. Subs are good sized -- I'll eat a large over 2 days. Pizza is decent, not too doughy, not too flat. Favs -- Chicken and hots, BBQ chicken, or eggplant, spinach and feta. Prices are good, staff is friendly and they're consistent. read more

Awful customer service! I went to this place a few times b/c it is near my work, and I was not impressed. Two days in a row I ordered a salad and asked for it without olives. Both times, they put olives on. When I complained that both days the order was not what I had asked for and that I had to throw the salad out b/c I was allergic, the woman at the counter- who turned out to be the manager- gave me A LOT of attitude and told me it was MY FAULT that I had not said I was allergic. I replied that a specific order was a specific order, whether or not I disclosed an allergy. She still would not take accountability for the staff ignoring my request, with quite an attitude. I told her I was offended by how she was speaking to me and I would no longer be a customer there. She said "fine" and walked away. The restaurant itself is small and crowded, hard to get a seat and you have to wait a bit for your order unless you call ahead, and then they won't even listen to your order. I HIGHLY don't recommend this place. Go to Romano's two blocks down the street and have a wonderful experience instead! read more

I recommend ordering anything that includes steak tips. Every time I order them I'm blown away by the quality of steak they are using vs. the price I paid for my meal. Can't beat their deal. The restaurant is always been clean, and has a friendly staff. read more

Me and my girlfriend got really sick after getting the chicken salad. Then when I called to inform them of this they hung up on me.

They have good sandwiches. Their best by far has to be the steak and cheese. OMG it is so delicious. I haven't tried there pizza so I can't comment on that. But the French fries are also fantastic. Good customer service and good prices. read more

Hands down the best place to get pizza salads and subs in Lawrence!!!! Great food great people!!!

5 stars for their deluxe veggie pizza (bce it's all I ever get there!) everything looks delicious but I can't keep away from this pizza. A great combination for us veggie lovers. The service is good, and friendly but the cooking seems slow. Maybe that's just because I'm usually starving when I go in and don't want to wait. read more

The food is great! Pizza is our favorite! The chicken and steak kabob salads with house dressing are so good! We are frequent customers and everyone is so accommodating even when we show up with 12 kids and move tables! Great food and Service! read more

ok.. this was our place to go at work every thursday for almost 6 years. the staff are always friendly, but they do get very busy around noon. there may be a line out the door. seating can get tough... maybe some booths would be nice.. too.. but their food never dissappoints. we love their pizza. but the salads are amazing and very large. i am in LOVE with their chicken cutlet subs and they have the most amazing chicken bomb. if you are in lawrence, and looking for a good place to eat. i highly recommend it. i clicked NO WAITER service.. but they usually bring your food out to you if they are not busy.. i see them serve police/fire/ambulance customers, as well as elderly and pregnant woman. but we have been brought our food as well. love these ladies. read more

My office ordered a dozen or so pies from here and everyone raved how good the pizza was. Overall consensus: the pizza is amazing. We got 2-3 pies each of plain, sausage, pepperoni, onion/peppers, and my personal favorite eggplant. Crust is thin and not to soft or crunchy. Good amount of sauce to cheese to crust ratio, with a pretty liberal topping amount. Very happy! No leftovers read more

Great Pizza with very good crust. Wonderful Greek Salad. I especially like it with the grilled chicken. All of the staff are very friendly. There are a few tables in the place, however, I usually get our food to go because it's about 1/2 mile from the house :) read more

Highly suggest getting a salad (Buffalo Chicken)! They come with homemade pita bread and the house dressing is the way to go! Only reason it's 4 stars is because when they put the grilled chicken on the salad it makes the salad soggy if not eaten in a timely manner. read more
