Located on the edge of downtown, Lately's is serving up NY style pizza, breakfast all day (and night on the weekends), along with select signature sandwiches. The NY style pizza has the perfect char, does not droop, and the toppings do not slide off. Perfectly balanced with cheese to sauce to dough, I cannot get enough - especially when slices are huge and just $2.99! I have only had their pizza but the staff and atmosphere are warm, sunny, and super friendly. Their shop is easily accessed from Water Street where there is tons of free parking and is steps away from Granite City Park (you know - the place with the chairs). Lately's takes card and cash, and also offers Coke products, self serve coffee, and a selection of cold adult beverages! There is plenty of inside seating, but, in my opinion, the red table outside in the sun on the sidewalk is where I like to chill. NY style pizza is alive and well at Lately's in Hallowell.

I've always wanted to try lox and this was my first time. I could eat this literally every morning for breakfast I loved it so much. Weirdly enough the cucumbers were one of the best parts of this they were so paper thin shaved it was great plus I love capers. Looking forward to stopping there anytime I'm going through Augusta

I'll check the receipt. Oh. It's not itemized. I know that I paid seven bucks for (possibly) the worst fries I've ever had. Were they battered once upon a time, but got the mange and half the batter fell off? Maybe they went through a paper shredder. It's hard to describe, but they were mostly not there, like a French fry hologram, but burned on the ends. How did lunch cost me half a C note? Maybe the unmarked bag of chips. Maybe the unmarked bottles of soda. Maybe I paid for somebody else's pizza. There's no way to find out. My wrap was tasty.

When in Maine, one must have lobster, right? So we weren't very close to the coast so I relied on…read moremy handy-dandy Yelp app to find somewhere local and Korner Store popped up. Some places close early so I called them and they were open and they had enough lobster available for a couple of rolls which was perfect! While we were waiting for our food, a good number of people dropped by to pick up to-go orders. Their pizza seemed to be very popular. The market price for a small (either 6 or 8 inches) lobster roll was a tad over $30. There was a good amount of lobster nestled in a soft, white bun. It was very tasty and filling. One thing I wasn't expecting however, is that it was a cold sandwich. Previously the lobster rolls that I've had were hot, on toasted bread. Oh well, it was still really good.

They say it takes 20 minutes to get your slice. That is not pizza by the slice. Ended up ordering a small pizza to share with a friend, we were there between events in downtown Waterville, and just needed to get on with it. Ordered at the counter, and were expected to tip a minimum of 20% for counter service. This place got the job done, but not quickly. The place says they are open for lunch. Technically, I guess they were. They seemed surprised to have customers. A couple of high top tables near the front windows. Otherwise a place that was not ready for lunch. Pizza was decent (no such thing as a bad pizza, right?). There are some beers on tap, and that was nice. Had to ask three times to get some water in a glass.

We were greeted by two friendly counter ladies who took our order. They accommodated my request for paper boxes versus plastic shell containers. My Stromboli was hot and ready and it didn't take long for my husband's sandwich to get made. Both were yummy!! Prices are average for the meals and I would say the sweets are very reasonably priced. The dining area is spacious and pleasant. They have high and standard tables. They sell three kinds of Maine coffee: CBD, Upta Camp and Mbingo mountain (roasted and packed in Waterville). It is located in the heart of downtown Waterville. The entrance has automated doors (press the blue button kind) and no steps. They are open everyday but Sunday!

Tips assumed at point of sale are 20%, 25%, or 30%. Food is similar to what I have seen in gas stations and corporate self-serve cafeteria - only more expensive, and no one at the self-serve asked for a tip. There are places to sit and eat what was purchased. There are large windows to watch the activity on the street while eating, so there is that.

The food was ALL 100% made fresh to order, and full of color, aroma, and flavor. The owner of the restaurant knows his customers so well that he remembered what my mother and brother would order for food... And drinks too.

Small operation and the husband and wife team make it feel like you are dining at a family's home. Cozy and welcoming filled with delicious aromas of the food. We called in an order for take out. Glad we did, as there was a few people order at the counter when we arrived. Apparently there is the potential of them selling out, so order early! We ordered the following and LOVED everything, even the 3rd year old: Arayas - Lebanese Pita stuffed with Kofta seasoned Beef, accompanied by Greens and dollops of Zhoug and Labneh. Baked Crispy Spinach Fatayer - Onion, Lemon, EVOO in a Soft Pastry Pouch. Meat Fatayer - A Levantine Cuisine Staple, Ground Beef, Tomato, Onion, Pomegranate Molasses, Lebanese Seven Spice and Garnished w/ Pine Nuts. Chicken Shawarma Wrap - Braised Chicken Thighs, with Tabbouleh, Labneh, Tahini Dressing, and Pickled Onions, Grilled Crisped in Tandoori Bread. Kibbe - This Lebanese recipe is popular throughout the Middle East - made with Beef, Cracked Wheat, Onion, Spices and Pine Nuts. Chicken & Rice - Simmered with Beef, Rice, Pine nuts, Chicken Broth and Lebanese 7 Spice. Lubia b'Zeit - Green Beans, Onion & Tomato with EVVO & Seven Spice over Basmati Rice. (Vegan) The portions were great and we were able to share. My favorite was the Arayas and the Chicken Shawarma Wrap. We definitely recommend and can't wait to eat there again.

I always recommend my friends and family here if they're looking for something new and exciting.
