We love visiting Gloucester, and when we do, we make sure we stop and get pizza from Poseidon's. This corner shop is small, and during Covid there isn't indoor seating, but we got it to go and ate on the lawn by the water across the street. This past Friday evening, we got two of the specialty menu pies: Dill Pickle and the Cheeseburglar. Both were very good and we'd definitely get those again. The crust is perfect, on the thinner side and perfectly crisp without being overdone. I think this is probably the best crust I've ever had on a pizza anywhere. The Cheeseburglar pizza did taste a lot like a particular burger chain's burger. Personally, I would've preferred a little more ground beef on the pizza, but we all agreed it was really tasty. The Dill Pickle pizza was excellent. If you're a pickle fan, definitely try this. The staff was also super-friendly and pleasant, especially considering that they are working in one if the toastiest little pizza joints around. read more

It shouldn't even get one star! I ordered food around 12:30 and it said it should be at my house around 1:30. 1:30 came and gone and I have no food and order. This has happened numerous of times. I wish they would get their priority straight. Customer service isn't that good Ethier. This has happened quite a few times like I mentioned and when it has my food has been cold! Sometimes it takes me forever to place an order because half of the employees don't understand the spelling of my street! I will inform friends and family NOT to order from this place. Save your money and go somewhere else!! read more

Use to be better, black things in my onion ring box...salad looked OK but with no dressing on or in bag, Reuben corned beef panini .. pathetic. 43.00 with tip way too $$ they should do much better. Done with them unless they improve. Was a good place once. New owners should make people want to come back again! read more

Today while day tripping to the Coast of Cape Ann we stopped in here for lunch, they are open but take away only because of COVID 19, it was a beautiful day we chose to get out for a drive and sat under a tree on the BLVD and enjoyed our lunch. Many pizza/sub options in this area but Poseidon had some good reviews and the menu sounded yummy. It was. We tried a cheese pizza, delightfully thin crust as it should be. Beer battered onion rings that I think are the BEST I've ever had during any of my travels. Seriously. My daughter had the chicken kabob grinder and was soooo happy with it along with the fries. Perfectly fried. We would def try something else from them while in the area. Once restaurants are back up & open they do have tables inside to sit and eat along with a good assortment of chips. The inside was clean that I was able to see and a perfect spot along the BLVD with beautiful Ocean views read more

We arrived into Rockport exhausted after a red-eye flight the night before. Wanted to order some pizza, nothing in the Rockport area open - so we searched Gloucester. Noticed that Poseidon's had decent reviews so we ordered a large pepperoni and a medium meatball/peppers pizza. The Pepperoni was on hand-tossed dough and was delish. The Meatball was on what looked like a thin-crust and was burned and overly crunchy. Not that great. read more

Excellent pizza. I usually get the chicken and broccoli. As I am gluten-free I usually just scrap off the toppings. Everyone else in the household love their specialty pizzas too. read more

Simple meatball sub was a total disgrace. No sign of any sauce..Absolutely zero flavor ..Tasteless "meatballs" were like mush! All squishy and unpleasant..all mashed together Not sure what I was biting into!!?? Ugh!! This was not meat..like a sawdust mash smothered in tasteless cheese spread. Worst sandwich I've ever had..stay away!!! Too bad we lost the previous owners. Had to toss after a starving attempt to swallow. Ugh read more

We ordered a pizza special package and it was great the ordering was easy the delivery was awesome and the food was fantastic. Thank you Poseidon's! Look forward to ordering your food again. Sincerely, Alan T Stanwood Point read more

Great pie. Sauce is good but crust is amazing. Place is a little dirty with limited seating. It's very hot in there with the pizza oven heat. read more

Poseidon's - Slice - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Used to be awesome. New ownership did away with my favorite menu items and you can't order online without a credit card, even if you want to pay in cash. Probably going to find a new "regular" place to order from. read more

I'm sorry to give a two star review. I am. So we stopped here to get some pizza! On the plus side , they have slices. But there were a few negatives. My main one is that the place is so hot. I mean it was uncomfortable hot. I guess they don't have AC. It was kind of odd though to walk in and feel like you are in Arizona during the summer. Seriously..it did not make for comfortable dining. Then there is the parking situation which isn't good at all. We had alot of problems finding a place to park. Then there is the pizza. To put it bluntly..it wasn't real tasty. Both my dining companion and I felt the same way. He could not finish his. I did..and while this is far from the worst pizza I have had, it is also far from the best. It was just odd pizza..I cannot even begin to describe it. We did not get a topping and maybe it would have been better if we had. But we were quite let down. I love the decor in here and the name is so cool..but I doubt I would come back. Sorry. read more

I ordered a large Italian sub which was very good, fresh and the roll was delicious!!. The service at the counter was quick, efficient and courteous, I will be back. read more

Couldn't have had a worse experience here. Called and ordered 3 wraps and a steak tip salad. Grilled chicken in the wraps. The girl who took my order read it back 3 times to make sure she got it. Went and picked it up, got home and there's no steak tips on the salad. Called and the girl informs me they don't have steak tips today. How do you not tell someone that after ordering and repeating it 3 times??! On top of that all the chicken in the wraps was fried. read more

Used to be pretty good - not sure what's happened recently? Ordered steak and cheese, got the DRIEST, unflavored (needed salt or something) food. It was like meat you'd feed to your dog. Husband got one of their specialty pizzas. He said it was okay but barely had any cheese on it. They ran out of chicken? Regular chicken and chicken fingers. Wow, how does that even happen? I'm disappointed. Gloucester takeout options are already dwindling. read more

Im sorry to say that recently the quality of items I've ordered is poor. Specifically, the chicken Parm subs are now made with the frozen chicken strips full of tendon and other chewy things I don't even want to know what they are. You have recently almost doubled the price of every item at your store, use the money to buy quality items. Nobody wants a chicken parm sandwich that isn't a chicken cutlet. Nor do they want their sandwich so steamed that it sticks to the bottom of the container I gave one star for the delivery time and service, otherwise it'll be a zero star review. Former regular, sorry read more

New owner is awesome. Pizza was delicious with high quality ingredient's. Highly recommend! read more

Poseidon's - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Best pizza on the island, hands down. All the boomers in the reviews are just butt-hurt their favorite sub for the last 75 years is no longer on the NEW OWNER'S menu. Call the WAAAHHHmbulance for these delicate snowflakes. read more

This is the greatest pizza shop I have ever been too. We ate and recommend Cheese calzones, onion rings and Italian subs. Each was a 10 and perfect. Picture it.... Its day 30 of the pandemic. Wife and I took the kids to hunt for sea glass and unique shells. Wife's anxiety manages to turn a peaceful activity into "oh no I didn't think about rogue waves, under toe and slippery rocks= crushed kiddie skulls" On the positive side we now have a bunch of sea glass I now have a massive collection of shells and am getting looks from the wife like "make a craft already or put your garbage in the garbage already.... Any- who while I am ordering over the phone a 20 year old women serenades the entire downtown with screams directed at her 4 children, "Get the f*ck off those rocks, I'm gonna smack you upside the head if you do that again." We get the food and bring it home. Still crispy and not at all soggy. deifies logic and every other delivered pizza I have had before. Cheese Calzone: It was perfect. Cheese,butter brushed dough.... that's it. My daughter exclaimed "this is the best food I have ever had, even better than tacos." It was crispy chewy and a lot of goddamn cheese... Every bite is an emotional roller coaster, almost too much flavor going on at time. As you are eating you get a little overwhelmed as this is the first time you tasted perfection... but the magical cheese blend balances off and your like "yes, f*ck yes, more wait wait, ok keep going yes" and that was one bite. You have a long journey to go. Pace yourself. Italian sub: Local baked rolls from a bakery, great cold cuts and fresh vegetables. The lettuce was crispy and green. Not garbage ice burg lettuce like most restaurants. The fine touches are noticed and appreciated greatly. Ive never described an Italian sub as balanced,but this was. Onion rings tasted like onions with a thick crispy batter. Skip the salad and rice pilaf option and double down on the rings. Compromise else where people. When you skim the yelp reviews,the biggest complaints about this place are "no bathroom"or just some nasty Karen made up lies scamming for a coupon. I even saw negative a review crated because there were so many positive reviews. Boggles the mind. read more

I would give a Zero review if I could. Walked to place an order. Stood there in front of the owner and his young( no so smart) employee, and waited 5 min to even be acknowledge. Almost left, and should have. Ordered two salads, wings and an empanada. Went outside to wait, came back in 4 min later and the same not so bright girl said" can I take your order"? Um we just gave it to you 4 min ago. Finally got the food- salads gross, and I mean gross! Wings also low quality gross, and the empanada, tasted like dog food! All we can say is run!!! read more

New owners.. they aren't the kindness (could have just been a bad day) no food is the same.. everything is different. Same oil used for everything.. Prices much higher. Sad to see old owners leave .. wishing new owners the best. read more

A-ok sub/pizza shop right on the water in Gloucester. We stopped here for a quick lunch on a cool Saturday. I chose the grilled chicken parmesan sandwich and my husband got the Italian. It took quite a while waiting for our food since they cooked the chicken fresh, shredded it, added marinara and cheese. It was lacking some salt and more flavor. However, it was a hefty sandwich for the price. I'd say if you're in the area in need of some affordable eats, this is your place. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. read more

Order from here if you want your order forgotten about , and then get lied to about the driver being at your house calling several times and knocking . When you have two dogs that bark at a fly on the wall they surely would be barking if someone were knocking and my phone has no missed calls . read more

I didn't know this place had new owners so I walked in and wanted to order a Niko, which was a great sub. Instead I'm greeted by an employee who rolls her eyes when I walk in because she was going on break and am rudely informed that they don't have that sub and what is on the menu is what they have. Prices are 30% higher and the menu is the same greasy crap you can get anywhere. Don't waste your time. read more

I'm a local and have had pizza from here a few times. The bad reviews are unwarranted in my humble opinion. The staff is always friendly. The "no bathroom" complaint is not fair...they simply do not have one in the building and there are plenty of signs. The pizza is dependable and good. Not gourmet or extraordinary....but dependable and good is 5 stars to me. read more

Hands down, best pizza I've had in Gloucester thus far! Poseidon's is right down the street from where we usually stay when we visit Gloucester, and it's always convenient to get to. They have a decent amount of parking space outside the front and sides of the building, but there is also plenty of public parking all around so it's easy to get to if there aren't any festivals or major events going on downtown. The staff is friendly, but most importantly, their pizza is delicious! We've tried a number of their different flavors, but our favorite is the Hades! read more

I really enjoyed my food at Poseidon's when my wife and I stopped in while traveling through Gloucester. It's a pretty cool building and it has a really good view of the ocean adjacent to it. I got a Zeus which is a grinder with french fries, chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, and marinara sauce. This thing was massive and definitely worth the eight dollars. I mean, you can barely go to Subway for eight dollars and you wouldn't get half the food Poseidon's gives. Anyway, it all tasted really good and worked together taste wise. I just know eating more than one a week would definitely pack the pounds on. My wife got a small pepperoni pizza and it was pretty good. Not the best pizza I ever had but it was pretty solid. It was hot and it tasted fresh. I left Poseidon's pretty full and feeling accomplished/ashamed I ate that whole sandwich by myself. It was delicious and actually one of our favorite places we ate at during our honeymoon. I would definitely go because their pizzas are a solid choice and their grinders are delicious and cheap. read more

Poseidon's - The Zeus: French Fries, Chicken Strips, Mozzarella Sticks, and Marinara Sauce. - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Most of their business is take out, limited seating inside although there is a nice view of the waterfront. Strictly bottled soda to drink. Ordered two grinders, niko and cj, both were good especially the bread. They need to clean the floor and wipe the tables more often. Australian root beer was a new one for me. read more

Excellent Pizza! Relatively thin crust, but cooked perfectly so it isn't too hard. Great sauce, not overly sweet like some places. Perfect ratio of pepperoni slices to cheese (on the pepperoni pizza, anyways). I highly recommend this place. Be aware there's no parking unless you find something along Western Ave. Also, even before COVID, there isn't much seating space so it's really better to do takeout, or delivery. anyways. Not a "sit down" pizza parlor for sure, but awesome food, none the less! I wish they sold T-shirts with their logo on them, it's an awesome design! read more

very poor service waited for about 35-40 mins for a large pizza. pizza wasn't the best just overall poor place

I love Poseidon's it is my go to pizza place they do not disappoint with anything I have had. Everything is homemade and delicious. You must have the homemade pita and I LOVE the pizza rolls. To the people that are upset about the bathroom situation their is a sign on their door explaining it, it is a fault of the way the building is built it's not like they have a secret bathroom not just for you. The owner is actually very nice and down to earth if you actually take the time to talk to him. read more

flavorless eggplant as opposed to the last 2 times which was much better. wayyyyyy too hot in summer to sit in, like 999999999999999999999999 degrees. sub was worth about $6 because it was soooo greasy yuk nobody was wearing masks 2 days ago and covid is still here, protect your customers and get fans that work, or maybe even god forbid AC in summer. jeez read more

I just downloaded the yelp app so I could write this revue. I am doing a slow burn as I prepare to throw away over 3/4 of a large pizza that I had delivered last night. It was the Poseidon Adventure. It came quickly and hot and the driver was very polite. It had no tomato sauce on it. None. Only 3 pieces were eaten and one of those was only nibbled at. It had no sauce. It tasted weird with no sauce. I didn't call last night because we had to leave shortly after it was delivered. I called this afternoon to find out if it was supposed to have tomato sauce. I was told yes. I said mine didn't have any. She put the owner on the phone who never introduced himself. He basically told me that he didn't know how that could have happened (as if I should know). I hung up and here we are. There was no apology, no offer of a coupon for my next order, just an argument. There is no sauce on it. I have photos. Just remember nameless owner, winter is here and you rely on your neighbors to stay in business. You will not have mine. There are too many local merchants who know how to treat their neighbors. Addendum-I couldn't throw the pizza away, my grandmother would have turned in her grave. I reheated a couple of pieces and discovered that there was sauce on half of the pizza, just not in the side that we started on. If that was the amount of sauce for the whole pizza, it was inadequate even for the half. Wanted to set the record strait. I hate to post bad revues. Learning that the restaurant has tables but no public restrooms and wouldn't make accommodations for a child (from one of the other revues) was distressing. Is that even legal? That means there is no place to even wash your hands before consuming something with your hands. Yuck! read more

The food is good. Portions are great for the money. We had pizza, garden salad, chicken Parmesan, onion rings and buffalo chicken grinder.

Ordered take out. The food was delicious! We ordered buffalo chicken pizza, wings, chicken salad and a chicken finger grinder.

Delish pizza. Super nice people on the phone and delivering. I've only done delivery since moving here, but I'm looking forward to going in.. read more

Oh my goodness!!! This place has the best mozzerella sticks. The batter on the outside isnt crumbly like other sticks but more of a batter that is buttery and just so stupid good!!! You have got to try these Bad Larry's. Totally worth the calories. read more

After burnt and burnt pizza and onion rings never addressed by manage, got better business at papa Gino

We've now ordered delivery from Poseidon's a LOT. I always get the Apollo, good bbq chicken pizza. My wife likes the Mediterranean. I prefer meat, but it's good. We often get the Greek salad, which is a big salad loaded with cheese and quite tasty. We've had other options and haven't been as impressed. read more

This place gave me food poisoning tonight so obviously there is not only a problem with quality, consistency, but also competency and I attribute that to the unqualified and clearly unprofessional young staff. What a joke during times like this especially to be serving unsafe food. This is a local dive, their pizza sucks anyways they call it "pizza cheese" on their menu, it's called mozzarella so stupid is as stupid does. It's just basic and they can't even do that right. Dine at your own risk. read more

It's a local favorite. Probably been there a long time. Very busy. Giant Daisuke bobblehead. Great prices. I'm sure their grinders are tasty. Handsome menu. I had a pizza and while it wasn't a hot circle of garbage, it wasn't anything dazzling. Crust, sauce, cheese. Sauce was on the sweeter side. Next time I'm in Gloucester I'll try another pizza place. read more
