Owners are the nicest people and great customer service every time. I'm surprised by anyone saying it's not cooked enough. I think it's perfect. There's literally been 2 times(in 7 years, that's not bad) where they cooked it a little more than usual, and I actually did NOT like it. I ended up just peeling the toppings off and eating them without the crust those 2 times. Please don't change the way you cook your pizza.

For a takeout pizza place, this is super consistent and quite reasonable.

It's a take out place though - you can eat at a 3 person small counter by the window. There are no public bathrooms though. I ordered a pulled pork/carnitas burrito which was fine but not excellent.

The décor is tasteful and modern without feeling overdone, and it gives the whole place a comfortable, coastal vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee. Service was excellent during our visit. The staff was courteous, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive, which always makes a meal more enjoyable. The brunch menu has a lot of tempting options, and everything we ordered delivered. I had the soufflé with sourdough toast and a side of bacon, and it was delicious. The soufflé was light and flavorful, and the sourdough was a great accompaniment. We also tried the Nutella-stuffed French toast and the breakfast potatoes. The French toast was a great indulgent brunch dish, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Overall, it was a really enjoyable brunch experience. If you're in the Essex area and looking for a comfortable spot with a great brunch menu, Noah's 63 is definitely worth checking out. Parking was a little tricky, as the lot next the pizza place next door was full despite there only being one other diner in the restaurant. But if you go down the driveway next to the museum you can park next to a boat in the boatyard and the entrance is down there.

We put our name in and went to the bar. Friendly staff and they make great drinks. I had a Dirty Martini with an interesting twist on it....an olive oil wash? It had a rosemary flavored olive oil in it. Also amazing blue cheese stuffed olives. Sometimes you get those and they taste old. Bartender said they hand stuff them fresh. We didn't have to wait long for our table and we were able to sit outside on the deck which was beautiful. The grassy area down below looks so cute as well, but I was glad we got one of the few tables up top on the deck. Thankfully didn't get attacked by bees which is common this time of year. We split the Caesar salad which was delicious and I got the Cold Soba Noodle Bowl with added Grilled Shrimp. Amazing. Note....it is spicy!! I love spice though. Boyfriend got the Roasted Red Pepper Salmon and it came with the most amazing risotto I've ever had. Very cheesy and delicious. Presentation lacking on that dish (pictured) but the taste made up for it. He very much enjoyed his meal. Very nice time and would definitely come back.
