Ordered online. Said twenty minutes. Came 25 minutes and was told oh about 7 minutes left. 35 minutes later got our order and went home. We ordered a cheese pizza and a hot dog pizza. Got home and discovered they gave us two cheese pizzas. Receipt showed we were charged for the hot dog pizza. We called and mentioned it. Allegedly getting comped for the incorrect pizza. Completely disappointed at the dishonesty when we arrived and then given the wrong order. read more

I love this place. Everything is delicious and the staff have always been friendly. Tessies has been here forever and I have never had anything bad since I started coming here in the 90s. read more

First time visit today. Ordered easily online from their website on my smart phone, payed online and picked up. Was inside briefly to pick up the order, but they really seem to be Covid-conscious with masks and screens up between the dining area and the counter. Ordered a pizza, sides, and dinner plates. The pizza has a nice soft texture--almost pastry-like. Sometimes I like a really chewy crust, but their crust is nice and airy and my son really liked it. If you like toppings more than dough, theirs is also great for that reason as other places can be skimpy with topping and you instead get large crusts taking up valuable topping space. They have some unique pizza combos that other places don't, so I look forward to trying them in the future. Portions are BIG. The plates can easily feed two people. I like that they offer pilaf for a rice side compared to just fries. The chicken kabob plate is cooked with mushrooms, peppers, and onions, making them very flavorful. The chicken was moist and not dry as kabobs can often be. Grapeleaves plate was big and delicious, as well. Got a slice of their baklava and it's delicious. Also a more generous portion that most places offer. If you like seasoned fries, you'll be happy here as theirs are great. They almost didn't make it home after the drive. "Just going to try one in the car..." "And another..." "And another..." Our to go order was ready in about 20 mins., which was awesome, and staff super friendly. For anyone complaining about price increases, their prices seem comparable to other places in town, but with bigger portions. Also, they have coupons to use on their website. Looking forward to trying other items soon, but first visit was a great experience! read more

Tessie's is located in the corner of a strip mall with some table seating but probably does most of their business from takeout. Great assortment on the menu from sandwiches to calzones to pizza. Many appetizers to choose from. I had a buffalo chicken sub the tenders were cooked well and the sauce was just spicy enough. The pizza is Greek style, which can be a little greasy. The turkey club comes with a great amount of turkey and crispy bacon and french fries if you're in the area definitely check out Tessie as they have a great assortment and variety of food. read more

I've had this food several times, waited before leaving a review. Consistently the best food I have ever had, and tastes the exact same every time. This place is the real deal!!! Thank you for your amazing food and care! read more

Tessi's Pizzeria is located in the quiet North Salem Village Plaza off busy Route 111 (almost in Derry). They lay claim to "The Best Pizza In Town!" I have actually been holding off writing this Yelp for quite a while, hoping someone would enjoy this place and write a great review. I have made two visits to Tessi's Pizzeria, both times for dinner takeout. The place is very casual, order at the counter with ample self serve (hard) red booth seating. The menu offerings include thin crust pizza (12 " & 16"), calzones, pasta, seafood, salads, grinders, Mediterranean items, steak tips, fried foods and Coke products from the cooler. The prices are pretty reasonable and several specials are offered here including 2 large cheese pizzas for $15.99 (Sun-Thurs). Last summer. I stopped here to try out the Kibbee Dinner ($8.95), which included fries, salad and Syrian bread. The kibbee was on the dry side. The seasoned golden fries were crispy and decent. The salad was fresh and had iceberg, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, & red onions, good for stuffing into the Syrian bread. The house salad dressing was very good and tangy tasting. Very recently, I wanted to find out if Tessi's Pizzeria made "the best pizza in town." I've been to many pizza places in the area, so I know which pizza places do it right. I've had some pretty good pizza in Salem (3-4 stars), but nothing really outstanding (5 stars) to date. I stopped in and ordered a large 16" Eggplant Pizza ($9.90), which had a very crispy crust on the bottom and along the slightly thick edges (slight sweet taste), a good sauce, but minimal cheese and breaded eggplant. The pizza was overall pretty decent, not bad. My quest for the best pizza in the area will keep marching on. I can still go to Raymond and Epping for great tasting NY style pizza, which is a bit of a hike. FREE DELIVERY (minimum $7) read more

While in the area visiting, the shop that we 'go to' was closed (regular day off). Our local host suggested Tessi's. They had all the same items we were looking for (calzone, steak sandwiches) which worked out great. First up, the steak sandwich specified some rather particular requests. They did it just as ordered and the recipient said it was a very good sandwich. The small steak is enough for two meals (for our host) and the large was enough for two meals (for my SO). The 'small' calzone is actually quite large. Got three meals out of it. Loaded with cheese and veg. Re-heated in a fry pan, it was tasty every time. They offer delivery, but we went to pick up. The shop is located in the corner spot of a 'strip mall'. The kitchen is much larger than the dining area which had a half dozen tables and during my visit (late lunch, during Covid) was completely empty. They have a TV in the corner facing the dining area. No music was playing and with no people it was quiet in there. The kitchen was fairly busy. They have partitions set up between counter staff and guests, because Covid. They do have to take your card (no scanner available to do it yourself). There is a tip jar on the other side of this partition. I can't remember if they had hand sanitizer available (sorry) but they do have a sign on the door saying masks are required by guests. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Food was very bland, not good at all. Pizza was very greasy. Would not recommend.

I've never been so disgusted with food before. I ordered a small turkey sub with bacon and mozzarella sticks, they forgot my bacon and my mozzarella sticks were still cold in the middle and not cooked through at ALL. My boyfriend got a junior roast beef and the beef openers it up and it was BROWN AND GREEN, sliced too thick, and the bun was a mess. I wouldn't even feed that to pigs if I owned any, I would never go back and I would not recommend this place to anyone read more

Wanna pay 30. for a low standard pizza ? This is your spot ! I'd rather eat a live frog from behind my house than ever eat this bull isht again . Sauce is nasty and the ingredients were just as bad . Maybe my standards are high yet take my word that this greasy waste of dough and cheese is a travesty to tomato's everywhere . This was my second and last time there . Never again ! read more

We have ordered several times within the past year and every meal was spot on. The service is good and yes delivery could be quicker but we just make sure we order in plenty of time. read more

taste-4 value-5 presentation-5 service-5 overall-5 taste- got the large chicken finger sub toasted with cheese lettuce tomatoes ketchup and mayo. it tasted clean as in it wasnt oily or greasy. value- at around 8-9 for a footlong sub freshly made cant go wrong presentation- it was wrapped up nice and neat and tight for my to go order service- they took me as soon as it was my turn in the lunch hour line up was in and out in under 5 min overall- the sub was not toasted enough for my liking will ask for extra toasted next time and cheese lovers might want to ask for extra cheese. mayo and ketchup ratio was on point at a 50:50 ratio. not too much ketchup and mayo that it would ooze out of the sub. tenders were fried crispy not oily or burnt yet still juicy and tender. veggies were nice and fresh read more

Pizza is terrible!!! Where do they get their recipe? It took 6 napkins to sop up the grease from the cheese!!!

Ordered for a delivery on a Thursday evening. It was my first time order here, and I wanted to see how "The Best Pizza In Town" was, as they self proclaim. Pizza and a salad. Simple order. Guy that took the phone order was a bit curt, but hey, whatever. The pizza was good. Not sure if it is the best in town, that is debatable. Was I know for sure that it took over an hour to get the order and I live about 1 mile from the restaurant. Certainly not the best delivery. I would give them another try, but I would pick it up myself, next time. read more

Ordered online through Slice, didn't realize I was getting charged more! Showed up when the online site said it would be ready and the pizzas weren't even in the oven yet. The pizza crust was frozen, Greek style crust....not my favorite....but the sauce and cheese tasted great! Asked for jalapeños on the side of the hot Buffalo pizza and they still put them on. So pretty much wasted a whole pizza because none of my kids would eat it with the jalapeños on it! I will try them again, but next time ordering subs and directly from the pizza shop! read more

Tessi's is our favorite for pizza- their crust is so fluffy and tender, their sauce is garlicky and flavorful, and their toppings are quality! They homemade hommus is great! The relatively new girl working the front now is efficient and friendly as well read more

i have ordered there many times as it is the only place close to me and never an issue. the online menu prices totally different from actual. ordered 3 items, 32.87 per online, +tax = $35.84. "free delivery"..... actual cost was 39 25, +tax = 42.78 plus $2 delivery fee =$44.78. I understand times are hard but change your online menu so people don't think they're getting screwed. I went into the store to show them the difference they just said that they would contactt whoever does their site. poor customer service!! usually the food is pretty good but this was absolutely terrible; grease was so bad on the pizza it went through the paper and soaked the box. calzone was so dry there was no saving it. we threw the calzone away as well as most of the pizza. Ordered chicken fingers as well because the menu said "homemade". nope, EXACT same ones you get at Wayback Burgers. I grabbed a new menu when I went in to complain, but don't think I'll be ordering there anytime soon. read more

Best pizza, calzones , and subs !! We have been ordering from Tessies for over 10 years and never once have been disappointed ..

Food is great. The lady I talked to on the phone to order my dinner (Stephanie) was extremely rude and had a big attitude, made me not want to order my food from there. read more

Ordered a pizza and chicken tender salad. I drove home and it was a tuna salad. I called and explained the situation and asked for them to deliver the correct salad. They said they can't because they only have 1 driver.... I live 6 minutes away. Too bad, I was a regular customer but will take my business to Atkinson house of pizza. read more

I had a great turkey sub with lettuce, tomato, cheese and mayo! Really hit the spot! Yes the prices have gone up a bit but where haven't they gone up? Give them a break! They've been hit by the pandemic too! I'm grateful that they were able to hang in when so many small businesses gave up! Thanks for good service and good food!! read more

Let me start off by saying we were long time customers of Tessies and used to love it very much...until their food prices soared up while other local pizza shops have not so we really feel it's just insane price gouging! Last night ordered just 2 steak bomb subs...over 30.00!!! We were told there is now a 3.00 delivery fee in which the owner keeps so the actual delivery drivers don't even see it according to the driver! Not too happy that my usual 6 to 7 dollar tip is now just a 3 to 4 dollar tip for the poor drivers who are actually paying for the high price of gas to bring us our food!!! Not right at all! So for this reason I will now take my business to a place who does not price gouge and steal from their actual drivers!!!!! read more

Love their pizza! Its thicker than most, and packed with toppings. I only order about once a month, but it's always great. I have had issues with delivery. I stopped because it seemed to as always take an hour. I tried again recently and it took nearly 2 hours!! I'm not exaggerating. However, the pizza was hot and tasted great. read more

Tessi's...my new found favorite restaurant. I have gone at least six times before reviewing and let me tell you...every single time, my food has been perfect. The pizza is to die for and their prices are just incredible. It is a very casual sub shop type of place but their menu is huge!!! The staff are very accommodating and every time have brought my food out to the table & even brought over cups of water to the table. They sell big cookies for .50 which my kids love...and they have a couple of arcade type games that are fun to play on. Doesn't look like much on the inside but trust me when I tell you, the food, staff & overall atmosphere is just incredible. Great job Tessi's!! Update: every time I have been here since this review has been awful. I changed my review from five stars to one! Also...stopped going, lol! read more

Tessi's is a nice little place that is consistently good. If I'm looking a quick pizza/sub, I either go here or Atkinson house of pizza since, I live in between them both. Lately though, I've been coming to Tessi's more than Atkinson. Their specialty pizzas are all good combinations of ingredients and ample amounts of them. Very nice people and low prices also. read more

I will start with the fact the food was good and the attitudes of the staff were decent enough but they did nothing to try and "make better" a pretty bad situation. "Free appetizer" coupon goes a long way, not that I would have used it. Tried them for the second time ever - honestly don't remember much of the first which says something but not horrible. Ordered a pick up a little before 5pm - salad and chicken salad sub. Was told 15 mins, husband went about 15-20 mins later and had to wait about 20 mins. Fine, turned out to be a very hot day so no one wants to cook, I get it. As soon as he gets home, I notice the salad is wrong. Right Asian dressing but olives, peppers, feta and iceberg rather than almonds, spring mix, and tangerines. I call back at 5:50 and ask them to deliver my corrected salad - she said it would be an hour due to the busy time. I thought maybe they'd move me to the top of the list to save my business, but I agreed. I reminded her my order - reminded her again to hold the tortilla strips. 90 mins later I called to check in - salad ready but no driver, they're busy. 120 mins later I called to check in with, let's call it, annoyance, in my voice. They said it was about to leave - I confirmed they had remade it yet again to not have 120-minute old chicken. 15 mins later it was delivered - just handed over to my husband - no apology on the phone any of my check ins nor in person. No store credit. No free soda for my troubles. No coupon for next time. Oh... and by the way, thanks for the (soggy) tortilla strips. Good thing I didn't want them anyway and had asked (twice) for them to not be included. We'll never go back as there are so many options, but tread lightly on busy days. I understand unexpected busy times and short staffed - but refuse new orders until you can catch up. Waiting over 2 hours for a salad you initially messed up on is unacceptable with not even an apology. read more

This was our go to pizza place for over a year. The staff was always friendly and the food was well made. A recent change of bad staff has really killed the quality of their food/service. read more

Foods good. They just have to remember to make it. Ordered online through the website. Somewhere it got lost in translation. Money was taking from account. No food delivered. After about 50min i called in. I assumed bc its a sat. Maybe there slammed. Not the case... short apology over the phone. Then they delivered it out. Total wait time 75 min. Honest review. Could just be a one off that happens. Maybe it happens more often then not. Overall. Dont like the way they handled the situation. Being in customer service. I could give 5 examples of how this could have been remedied and this review ending on a positive note... not the case... Well. The pizza is good. Ill say that. read more

First and last time ordering from here. The food was awful and cold when delivered. When i called back to let them know, i was told by the young woman who answered the phone that a replacement would be sent. After 40 minutes I called and was informed that they were not sending a replacement because that is how the food would be again when I got it. When I ask for a refund I was pretty much told if I wanted my money back I would have to go there and get it myself. Very unprofessional. Will never recommend this place to anyone read more

Tried this spot for the first time last week; I'm very particular about my roast beef sandwiches and my last "go to" for roast beef has gone down hill so I was looking for a new local place with good roast beef. I was NOT disappointed, it wasn't "good" it was "great". The roast beef was "melt in your mouth" thinly sliced, with the perfect amount of sauce, toasted hamburger bun - everything a roast beef sandwich is supposed to be! Even my hubby tried it and agreed. SO good, I can't wait to try other items on their menu. Definitely recommend. read more

Our first time ordering and probably our last. We looked at the menu and loved the choices. Ordered chicken tenders and a shrimp and scallop plate and meatball sub. First delivery took forever, the chicken tenders were flat like paper and very dry. The sxallop and shrimp plate was soggy when it arrived and there were 6 small scallops and 5 shrimp for 18.99, not worth it at all. Very unhappy with this order. Maybe it was a one time thing or because we are the bad customers that order too late, but either way, i will not waste my time or money again. read more

I went in for Friday lunch take-out. There was a bit of a line, but the guys made sure they brought more people up to the front to get through it fast. They immediately took my order (a wrap), and then got it to me quickly. The Caribbean sweet and sour wrap is my go-to here and it's great. Good bits of chicken with a tang. read more

Ordered a Jr. roast beef from Tessi's after having gotten one in the past (July of 2020) my first two experiences were great and I had given them a 5 star review in the past. I'm not sure if they're under new management now, but the quality of the roast beef was horrible. Won't be going back again, which is disappointing because there aren't many quality roast beef places around. read more

Horrible customer service !! Women who answers the phone hung up on me repeatedly when I inquired about my delivery order? Took almost 2 hours for food to arrive. Will never give them my business again. read more

I recently moved here and this has become my new favorite takeout place. They have free delivery which is a big plus. Pizza is good- dough tastes a bit like frozen pizza but somehow still tastes good and crunchy! Steak tip dinner is delicious and tender. Whenever the hosts are working they are a bit rude, but when it is the cooks who cash me out they are always pleasant. read more

Changed from great real scallops to bad frozen fish balls. Use to be much better. Meat pie and pizza are good.. read more

Two stars due to recent price increases. Dinners are good pizza quality is Greek style. Crust leaves something to be desired
