    Puffy pizza
    Jamie B.

    Pizza was good, service was ok, no prices on anything in drink cooler and our bill was much higher than expected at check out. No bill given, just the screen they flash at you for a minute. Had to ask to have table cleaned off and for a box to go. I know getting good help is hard but at least smile and say thank you for coming would be nice

    Fabulous! The crust is very nice!
    Richard P.

    Always a pleasure to eat here! Very good crust with generous toppings! Highly recommended! Nothing fancy but the food is great!

    Family business in same location for 50 years says a lot! I've been coming here for 20 years and they consistently deliver quality homemade food each and every time. No fussy menu with fancy items, just simple honest food. No waitstaff but plenty of cozy seating. Super nice owners, friendly staff, low prices. Fresh homemade meatballs in the subs. The sauce is delicious. Do yourself a favor and try the Hot Oven Grinder! www.pizzabymichael.com My 3 fussy kiddos LOVE this place -they get their chocolate milk & pizza fix here!

    Sm extra cheese (10in)

    I may be labeled a pizza snob when people see I lived in NY for a decade, but I grew up in Portland. I spent my summers on OOB pizza like a great many of us did. Given the plethora of choices, I had managed to never come here before. Out for a family drive on dad's day off, we needed eats after a stressful experience. I wanted pizza so Yelp lead us here. The pizza itself was not bad. We got the correct food, as ordered. The staff was nice and the shop was clean. The mushroom (for the spouse who loves them) was declared unremarkable and slightly oily in an after taste way she didn't find grand. My extra cheese was indeed cheese loaded. For me this crust resembles pier slices. It is a tad more doughy and yes, more oil is obviously there. It is edible, it is not offensive, it was made properly and cooked all the way as it should be. A 10in small is a healthy "personal" serving and I did eat all of mine. Is there better pizza? Probably, but since all taste is subjective to the person eating it, this is certainly acceptable for the cost and quality of what you get. It is a neighborhood place and my only wish is that they offered by the slice instead of just pies. No other complaints.

    Visited Portland for the long weekend and stumbled on this pizza place by accident. It was pouring outside so we ordered a basic large cheese and ate at one of the tables. Clean establishment, pizza came out quick, and it tasted pretty good too.

    In the midst of COVID, a lot of places around here have been closing early so this was a happy mistake that we stumbled upon this pizza! We got a take out large pizza that was delicious! The crust was good, not too dry but not undercooked either! We were also very happy with the amount of toppings on the pizza. From the outside, it looked like a little hole in the wall, but my husband said it was quite pleasant inside when he went inside to pick it up. We would definitely order here again!

    Not as good as the original owner's pizza. You can tell the toppings quality is lesser. Disappointed. Have to find another pizza place

    I'm not coming back…read more The place was dirty The first table our hostess tried to seat us was too dirty, so she had to choose another. Apparently that didn't inspire anyone to wipe the others down. I saw four dirty ones from our table. Then, two groups were seated at these tables that needed to be wiped and swept underneath. The whole floor needed swept and it looked like it hadn't been mopped the night before. I doubt the place was dirty because they were too busy. When we got there it was 6 customers compared to 5 staff. I suspect they either didn't care or were never trained on how to keep a tidy restaurant. None of this helped to spark our appetites The service was good at first, We got our beers fast, and then I told our server we were going to just drink beer and maybe we'd order food later. Again, you'd think that would inspire him to check on our drinks but I finished my beer and waited ten minutes or more without seeing our server. When we did see him, he took the order of the table directly next to us, and left. After that I'd had enough. I went to the bar, told the nice lady we hadn't seen our server in at least 15 minutes and that I wanted to pay our tab. Don't go to this place. The bad service and state of the restaurant is probably due to bad management.

We were able to park right out front of the store front. Before we got off of the Pike, we ordered 2 pizzas.....one cheese and one veggie. When my wife was finished ordering and before she was told how long it would be before pick-up, the clerk told her the total price ($53.22). When I heard the price, I almost went off the road but I would find out later that it was well worth every cent! I went in to watch the process, which I love to do. It was a pretty busy Sat evening, for sure. Only one size of pizza....all large. Pizza orders of 8, 4 and 5 were pumping out the kitchen! Three workers and one register clerk made up the staff. There are 4 small tables and chairs if you want to eat-in, as well. When our order finally came out, I was a bit hesitant. I am a fan of lightly cooked and no bubbles. The pizza, when it was being cut, looked charred up a bit and had a bubble or two. As I walked to the car, I was not very confident that things would turn out the way they did. When we each started to eat the pizza, we were both thrilled with everything.....crust, cheese, overall taste and cook-style! The veggie was "delicious" and the cheese pizza was in the Louie's class (Woburn, MA). Boy, were we happy! The price was a little high but very well worth it. You get what you pay for! Soda: no Pepsi/no Coke (see pic) Parking: on Main Street...seemed easy Price: a little high...but worth it Ambience: nice little spot Will I be back?: When in Biddeford....sure Stars: 5 (I took a bunch of pictures...but it is a long story)
