Super yummy crust - I go there whenever I am in Maine. The pizza comes in only one size and takes about 20 minutes before ready on average. Highly recommend the hamburger and pineapple. read more

Was in Biddeford and in the mood for pizza. Decided to go to Pizza by Alex. I love local business momma and poppa restaurant. They do one thing and they do it well. This local business have been here since 1960 folks and they are still around!! If you don't have a good product you can't win. Pizza at Pizza by Alex is a great pizza!! You have to try it for yourself to understand all the five stars ratings reviews. Their pizza dough is light, a little crisp, not soggy and just the right thickness. Not too thick and doughy yet not too thin like you're eating toppings only. We will be back next time we will try other topping pizza. read more

Alex Pizza was the place to go in Biddeford since I was in the old middle school just up the street and we would walk there after dances. I actually met the original Alex after I was grown up but it was his nephew I recall managing things behind the counter for the most part. Sadly, things change. Alex Pizza is not the pizza it once was. The nephew sold to relatives and then changed happene. The main change seems to be the crust. The edge of the crust is very hard, almost overcooked and I used to love the edge of their crust. When I had it last week the overall crust had a hard cardboard texture to it. My husband says he's done with Alex Pizza. Also, the manager stares at you during payment when the tip screen comes up. Like pressuring you to tip. I tip wait staff mostly and then case by case. read more

What the "Hail" happen to Alex? Been going there for over 50 years!, such a shame, pizza as soggy, sauce was tasteless, and pepperoni was ugh! Prices through the roof, quality down to hell. Sorry, but you new guys ruin Alex's Legacy. The best pizza joint in Maine, is now the best pizza joint in the hell! read more

Use to be best pizza I ever had.. .sauce no longer has flavor, cheap cheese used, also cheap meats.. ..crust was bad ....been going there for 50 years....never again ....it has become horrible.....different recipe on sauce and crust.... read more

We went and tried Pizza by Alex after many recommendations - The Yaya's Greek was really delicious! We also tried the pepperoni- it was okay but the Greek really was incredible read more

Hands down the best pizza in town. Inside tip ask for the old oven, it's been used so much that it adds a special layer of flavor you can't get from the newer style ovens. The staff are always friendly! It's also family friendly and handicap accessible. read more

Pizza by Alex - Pizza Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Came to this place out of recommendation. And it's was absolutely delicious. Came to Maine for a graduation further up north past auburn. It truly is a little gem packed away in Biddeford. Being from New York I know pizza and Alex's pizza is most absolutely on pare with our pies. So much flavor and crisp it's was a delight. Only reason the 3 stars and not 4... On our way back to New York we drove out of the way just for this famous pizza. While waiting for our pizzas to cook my six year old asked where the bathroom was we were told no bathrooms for the public anymore. Okay no biggie, we walked to the gas station across the street. They didn't have a bathroom at all. Okay walked to the one next to that. Their bathroom was actually broken. Okay.... guess my daughter will pee behind the building in the alley next to a box truck. Where there is clearly a bum living. Great pizza though..... read more

Great traditional pizza, exactly as described, always perfect, service has always been good, one of my favorite pizza places!

Truly the pizza of my dreams. Individual pizzas topped and cooked to order to perfection. Personally I am a fan of the pepperoni which boasts tiny roni slices that are almost too cute to eat...almost. This place is a must try if you're in the area. For you people who say you could share this pizza with another person you are not a true pizza lover and/or have abnormal self control. Light sauce if you like your pizza crispier and old oven for extra seasoned crust. read more

So my husband is from Biddeford, and he absolutely insisted on getting some Alex Pizza the first time I came to visit. And boy am I god he did, because their pizza is amazing. All of their pizzas come in one size which is a perfect portion for one person. I do have to say that the price is a little high, but I 100% support that the taste is worth it. I have never finished my Alex Pizza and thought that it wasn't worth it! If you are in the area, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.... and have your pizza cooked in the old oven! read more

Pizza By Alex is everything you hope for in a pizza. Settled in the heart of my old stomping grounds in Biddeford, Pizza By Alex is a quaint little pizza place that continues to make pizza they way they did when it first started. They only serve pizza and its comes in one size, but it is packed with flavor. Also, make sure to have cash or checks, as they do not accept credit/debit cards. Definitely a place to experience when in Biddeford! read more

Love pizza by Alex. The pizza is best cooked well-done, and in the old oven. The interior is okay, nothing spectacular but what they're lacking in decorating skills, they make up for in food. Only reason I removed a star is because I believe the workers are a bit snooty. Always recommend to people looking for great pizza. read more

Not only is the pizza FANTASTIC but the customer service is EXCEPTIONAL! They made a small mistake on our order, gave us that pizza free and threw in the mistake pizza. They did all of this without being prompted by me. This was my 2nd time there and they have a customer for life. read more

My favorite pizza place in Biddeford!! I always get the Greek. I don't finish it in one-sitting because it's be too much, but I am always excited for the next day to roll around so I can finish it! Great pizza! read more

Not a fancy place by any means, simply put, a pizza parlor, nothing more. If you are looking for delicious, fresh hot pizza, you wont be disappointed, and reasonably priced. Not a place where you will be waited on, you order a d seat yourself, they call your name when ready. Dough is out of this world and is melt in your mouth good....this is the opinion of one who usually leaves the crust uneaten, but not here. They make the dough right there in front of you. The only have one size as well, ten inch, perfect for one or to share with one other. Great sauce, plenty of toppings. Bathroom is TINY, place is fairly clean and could use a makeover, but you are there for the pizza. Cash only but ATM inside. read more

Don't know what's going on but always have loved this pizza quality and taste but the last few times we have got it we were so disappointed. Called family members to see how their resent experience has been and got the same report. Put it back the way it was please! read more

Great little pizzas! Fast service for pickup considering how busy it seemed. Would definitely recommend if I'm the area. Only thing would be a little less cheese. But it was perfect otherwise! read more

The pizzas are made sized for "a single individual to fill up". The crust is awesome....crispy, sweet : almost like the crust was made of cheez-it. Probably the best pizza place in Maine, if ur buying for urself. If u have several guests, things get more complicated read more

Love this place, a local staple for sure.. but you've been warned, this is a CASH ONLY spot, but completely worth the trip to the ATM (which they have inside). Old school, personal size pizzas. I don't think this place has been updated since the 80s, which makes it that much better. You walk in and feel the nostalgia of a time of life once lived. You want the real deal? This is the spot for you. read more

I think I've tried all the pizza places in Biddeford-Saco and Pizza By Alex is better than most. I like the crust, the quantity of the toppings, and the taste. But it's really salty, the pepperoni is really tiny, there's no box to put it in when you're taking it home, and it's more expensive than most of the others. The pizza is above average and one of the best, I'll give Alex 4 stars for that. But I was not as overwhelmed as many of the other reviewers. read more

They only have one size pizza. 10 inch personal size. The pizza was ready well within the quoted 15 mins and it smelled and tasted great. The dining room was no frills and outdated but clean. They were well staffed and friendly enough. read more

Pizza by Alex - They only have one size pizza. 10 inch personal size. This is pepperoni and onions. - Pizza Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Today for lunch. Called in a pepperoni pizza. Ready when I got there with the signature slit in the bag to relieve the steam. That's a little thing but who else does that? Delicious because...exactly the same as always. No fear of some different taste, texture, or look. 7 bucks and change. Very fair. Again, for the first timers...this pizza is a little different than your typical pizzeria. Not just mozz.. Cheddar mixed in gives it a Pizza By Alex unique taste. You may or may not like it but please don't claim that it's not pizza. It's great pizza. Oh, and those old school cardboard plates. Classic! read more

I've lived in Biddeford my whole life. That would be 56 years and I have never had a bad experience with Alex Pizza until now. Not sure what is going on with that place but the last two times I've ordered lightly done they were not likely done. So this time I went in to let them know and to get a refund ( which usually they let you keep the Pizza) this guy acted like I was trying to steal from him and was extremely rude. After 56 years sad to say but I will not be eating alex pizza again. read more

Way too salty. Mediocre at best. No salads, just pizza with a tough crust and over salted tomato sauce.

Love their pizza & that they stick to tradition. Unwilling to give in to the pressure of variety they make what they know and do it well. 10" pizzas made the way they've always done it. The yaya Greek is hands down my favorite but I'd eat any of them. Don't look for alcohol when you go here it's strictly soda. read more

"Prepare thy tongue, for it shalt be blessed by the Alex, the God of Pizza" I've eaten my fair share of pizzas and Pizza by Alex is among the top of the list. They only offer personal pans, snugly fit into paper plates, but the pizza packs some serious flavor. I ordered a hamburg and pepperoni and no one ingredient outweighed the other, it was a fantastic balanced pizza. I even proposed to it but then remembered marrying pizzas isn't legal in Maine (or in any of the 50 states). My whole group was in consensus that the pizza easily beat any meals we had that week (Sorry Papa Johns, gallon of Kraft mac and cheese, Koi restaurant, and Chef Boyardee). Just remember to bring cash, they still have an old school style cash register! With a name like "Pizza by Alex", it could have been a literary masterpiece, or a contemporary piece of art, but I'm sure glad it's a pizza joint. I would say Pizza by Alex is my #1 pizza spot but since I'm from Boston, I have to maintain that Santarpio is the best or else I'll disappear. Seriously, try this pizza spot whenever you're in the area, you won't regret it! read more

This is my favorite pizza. No salads, no sandwiches, only pizza, one size. I cannot identify why I like it but I do. The majority of their business is takeout. They do offer seating and sodas. I like the crust. Not too thick or thin. I always get extra cheese and I like the brand of sausage they use. Not too salty. If you go you will be amazed how much take out business they do. There is a variety of toppings but this is a no frills divey kind of place. My kind of place. Everytime I stop by I get reinvigorated on how much I like there pie. read more

I love Pizza by Alex. I always have and even after moving out of the area almost 10 years ago it is a necessity to stop by when I am home and grab a pizza. They have pizza and soda. Do not go looking for salad's or sandwiches. The menu may be limited but they know what they are doing when it comes to the personal size pizza. The crust is thin, crunchy, cheesy with just enough grease to make it really delicious. The sauce is salty and tasty and they always seem to have the perfect amount on the pizza. The cheese is plentiful and delicious. As for toppings I have tried almost everything here. I prefer the pineapple it is just so tasty. I used to go here almost every Friday in high school after different sporting events so it can get busy. Prices have also gone up considerably since those days but the pizza has not changed. The dining room has not had a remodel in decades but it gives Alex's personality. read more

Got a couple of late night pizzas here after a show at the City Theater. I was happily surprised! Perfect blend of sauce and cheese on the plain ones, and the Greek yaya one had spinach and feta and onions - oh my! As in OH MY DELICIOUS! Reasonably priced as well. We got them to go, did not sit in. Amazing! read more

I felt I needed to try this place given the hype before I left Maine. I certainly will admit, it was better than I imagined. But still, it wasn't great. I enjoyed the crunchiness of the crust very much. But the sauce and cheese were not very flavorful compared to other pizza joints in the area (flatbread, ottos, even portland pie). I had the mushroom and my partner had sausage. Hers was more greasy than mine. Also, if you walk in there, it's not readily apparent where to order. So we waited in what turned out to be the take out order until we got to the front, only to learn the line to order was next to it (and now had another line to wait in). Overall, this is prob a good place to call ahead and pick up a personal pizza when you're too lazy to drive to Portland and get better pizza, or if you want a crunchier crust than Portland pie. read more

Asked hotel desk at the border of NH "Where would you take someone who has never been to Maine?" Her response "If you're driving up the coast you've got to try a pie at Pizza by Alex" She was right! I can see why they've been voted best pizza in Maine. read more

Pizza by Alex - Two pies.. - Pizza Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

This is the best pizza in southern Maine period. 10" pies only with a wide variety of toppings. Sauce is amazing. The pizzas remind me of an old school Italian-style pie like Angelones' but with a Greek-style, airy, crispy crust. I highly recommend getting hamburger on your order. read more

First and foremost, I'm an admitted pizza snob from NY. With that being said, I can appreciate other styles of pizza (Chicago Deep, Cali Flat etc), but I mostly end up saying things like "it's not bad for being Non-NY Pizza". Conversely, this was simply amazing on any scale. They sell pizza. Only pizza. One size. Tons of varieties. They know what they do well and that's what they do. I went out on a limb and ordered the Hawaiian, which was up in well under 10 minutes yet cooked to perfection. I intended to have a slice and save the rest for tonight after work, but it's gone, and I haven't even left the parking lot. Highly recommended and I would go out of my way to come back. read more

The pizza was pretty average at best. If it was any worse I would have just given it back to the staff and left. The cost for 2 personal pan pizzas was around $20 Wasn't worth my money or the carbs/calories. I can make a better pizza myself from cheap and easy ingredients, plus it's a lot more fun. read more

Pizza is great every time. I've never had an issue. Best pizza in town. Good service. They only sell pizza so don't expect to get anything else. They charge a little more than everyone else, but the quality is worth it. They do it right. Keep it up. read more

This pizza is delicious. The toppings are delicious and portioned just right. The crus was light yet perfectly crispy. The sauce was good too and had the perfect amount. My first time here and I'll be back! read more
