Vesuvius or Volos are so much better. Barstool's review was way off... perhaps Portnoy should stick to delivering newspapers.

I made it! I have been wanting to get to Monte's for a long time. Finally made it today and it was…read morewell worth it. We pulled up and immediately saw the side parking lot was busy and full. I was able to get a spot right near the bridge to run in and get my take-out order. Upon entering, I realized it was "cash" only. I was a bit aggravated but that is the business's decision and that goes place to place. Who am I to decided how they would operate. Anyway, there is an ATM machine right in the lobby for customers with debit cards, credit cards or some other way to pay. My two cheese pizzas (one with extra sauce) was ready when I arrived so I got my cash and was out of there. When I finally was able to eat the pizza with my wife...boy, we were both happy and excited. The pizza was awesome. Great crust, fresh dough, awesome sauce and fresh cheese. I liked the size of the pizza and the price reflected that! Monte's has tables and booths inside but I took my to go, after a long day at the beach. They also have a bar. I would say 10-12 seats with Keno and a big TV. The service was swift and the lady that I dealth with was great! Price: low (this day and age) Vibe: easy going....family orientated Pepsi/Coke: I am not sure, I did not get a drink because they only offered 2 liters. Parking: Easy and some street parking, if needed Will I be back: Definitely, if I am in the area, I would be sure to be back

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. Visiting the area from Texas, I came here like others based on the 10…read morescore from One Bite. I can only assume Portnoy either has a connection to this spot or he lost a bet. I did the lunch special, half pepperoni pizza and a side salad. For the price, $9.50, it was fine but not worth the drive. I'd rate it 5.1; very thin, almost no sauce and greasy. The salad was fine. The waitress was an older lady, very Boston but friendly. She is what kept this from a 2 star review. Like others mention, parking is tight and the place seems to attract an older crowd. I watched an old man back into a truck while leaving. So be careful where you park.

I eagerly opened it and bit into it, but the bread was a bit hard and not the same as it used to be. The sub really had little flavor. There was shredded lettuce on it, which I don't recall being used years ago and there wasn't enough oil on it so it was kind of dry and tasteless. The woman who made it was very nice and she asked what I wanted on it and I said everything. Including hots? Yes! But there were no hots on it. Jeez. I know things change, but this really couldn't compare at all to the delicious subs they used to make. Maybe they aren't able to get the same bread anymore?

I have never read so many wrong and hurtful comments about a place that made me feel at home as an immigrant. A place where people were kind to me and smiled every single time I picked up my order no matter if I was 9, 16, 25, or 38. This is a family owned business of hard-working people. I find the comment about the restroom quite perplexing and honestly incredible. If it wasn't a health violation, they would have let you use the bathroom. There is also a police station, public library as well as a fire station less than a mile away if you truly needed to use a bathroom (or your home). If you think the portions are not up to your standard or overpriced, I suggest you make it yourself and calculate the costs it took you to make from the supermarket. This is one of the best places in Swampscott and is an institution. They have had the same amazing quality of service and food since I have lived in Swampscott. 1993.
