had a cheesesteak sandwich at Angelo's pizzaria in phil penn. it was good but not as good as square deli , but needs a beaded roll and cheese spread equally with carmalized inions to be the best. read more

Great cheesesteak sammmie! Pizza was ok Would return in a heartbeat for the sammie. Ordering ahead is wise though the online portal is frustrating for sure read more

Awesome food Really crispy crust on pizza Excellent Philly cheese steak Nice friendly service read more

We ordered the South Philly Steak sub. Homemade seeded bun, Italian long hots, cheddar and provolone, garlic aioli, onions plus an order of fries. Pickup wait was about 25 minutes, which tracks since they're apparently TikTok famous now (the waitress confirmed this with a laugh). Worth planning ahead for. Got it home, opened it up. Looked great, but looks have fooled me before. Then I took a bite. Ribeye. Perfectly cooked, perfect cheese ratio, and the long hots gave it exactly the right kick. The bun alone could carry a lesser sandwich. Portion was genuinely generous too. My wife and I usually talk through a whole meal, we ate this thing in complete silence for 15 minutes. That's the review right there. Fries were the real deal as well. Long, crunchy outside, done right. They've been at this for 18 years and whoever put them in the spotlight did everyone a favor. Well deserved. Heads up: it's a small spot, so I'd recommend ordering ahead for pickup, and parking is mostly street, so give yourself a few extra minutes. Compliments to the chef. We'll be back. read more

The hype is real! Best cheesesteak in mass! looking forward to trying. The pizza. Ignore this I need 85 characters read more

Got the South Philly Steak and Classic Italian last night, both on the homemade seeded rolls and they were fantastic. The team is generous with all the high quality ingredients, the price is so justified. Also, kept half the South Philly Steak for leftovers and it reheated beautifully the next day in the airfryer. But beyond that, it's a small unassuming place and the owner is a great guy. He has created a small business that makes you feel really good about supporting. He's doing great things for the community AND the subs are incredible. read more

Looks can be deceiving.. small and unassuming from the outside, but the great reviews on here drove me to try it. Glad I did. The pizza is fantastic and the Paisano sandwich was both enormous and delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

WOW! Finally got to try the steak and cheese everyone has been raving about, and it did not disappoint! The beef was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor, the cheese was perfectly creamy and melted, and the sweet grilled onions brought it all together. We had to wait a while because of all the online hype, but it was 100% worth it. Easily one of the best steak and cheese sandwiches I've had. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I've gotten food from here in the past and thought it was fine and nothing to write home about. However, with the surge of popularity, I wanted to try it again. Everyone on social media is raving about it, so I decided to give them another shot. I've noticed that some bad reviews are related to service but still have positives about the food. For me, service was great and the food was even better. The first time I tried to order, I had everything set up in my cart and by the time I was ready, I was no longer able to submit my order, so I assumed it was too close to closing and I'd missed the window. Tried calling a few times and didn't get an answer, so I gave up. All good, that's on me. So when I tried again for a second time a week later, I made sure I ordered nice and early to ensure there were no issues. I was quoted 30 mins for a pizza and two subs. The shop had a few small tables to stop and eat, but it's clearly mostly take-out. The person taking orders at the front was efficient, sweet, and friendly. -Pizza Pasquale: This was delicious and might be the best pizza in Boston. I am in NY almost every month and while the pizza styles are different, I personally thought this was superior. The pizza had plenty of pepperoni and mushrooms with a fantastic crust and dough. Some doughs are bland, but this one was perfect and had the amazing balance of crunchy and soft. There was a short line, and the person at the front of the line was taking forever, so my pizza had been sitting in the warmer for at least a few minutes, and then it took me 10-15 minutes to get home, but the pizza was still incredibly tasty. I can only imagine the texture and taste if the pizza was eaten right away. My only complaint is that there were whole basil leaves on the pizza so getting basil in every bite wasn't totally possible. Having the leaves torn up would've been nice since the basil really adds a great flavor to the pizza, but all in all, I'm looking forward to more pizzas from this place. -Paisano Sandwich: This was also very tasty. The seeded roll was very good, the chicken cutlets were crispy, well seasoned and plentiful, and the sandwich was also very balanced. There wasn't a ton of prosciutto though, the tomatoes were chopped, so they were kind of lost in the sandwich, and I didn't taste much balsamic, but even so, it was still a good sandwich. -Steak and Cheese: Also fantastic. Also selected the seeded roll. The sandwich had a good amount of steak which was very well covered in melty, gooey cheese. It was so so good and the steak seemed like good quality to me. Not much to say; it was incredibly well executed and delivered exactly what we were looking for. The hype is definitely real. read more

I really want to like this place, I honestly do. Their pizza is good, and the chicken parm is solid. Unfortunately, the steak and cheese is a hard pass. I ordered the South Philly steak. They were out of long hots, which isn't a huge deal, but seems would be a major part of the flavor profile. It comes with a garlic aioli, which I'd strongly recommend skipping. It's extremely heavy on the aioli with very little garlic flavor, and the added provolone actually takes away from the overall taste rather than enhancing it. The real issue, though--the nail in the coffin--was the steak itself, which is obviously the most important part. It's advertised as being shaved fresh on site, but the trimming and consistency need serious work. I ended up throwing away more than half the sandwich. Even picking through the meat, a large portion consisted of thick, roughly 1/8-inch thick slices full of gristle (see picture) that were impossible to chew. That's not what I expect from a $19 cheesesteak. I'd expect that quality from a Market Basket sandwich, not from a place like this, and that was genuinely disappointing. As a side note, the house-baked sesame roll is a nice touch, but it really should be toasted. As served, it was overly soft and heavier than a typical sub roll. Two stars solely based on the cheesesteak. It's not a one-star review only because the pizza and chicken cutlets are still good here. read more

The Square Deli - 1/8" thick steak with lots of gristle - Delis Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

First time visiting the Square Deli. It will not be my last. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with hots and all I can say is it was the best pie north of New Haven I have ever had. Absolute perfection. The photo says it all ... the ingredients were world class, preparation was masterful, and the char was epic! After we chatted about the steak sub with some patrons I had the opportunity to try a steak and cheese ... again, just amazing! Sliced ribeye, cooper sharp, and a seeded bun ... an homage to the best in Philly. Do not miss this experience! Thank you Chris ... see you soon! read more

Ai states they are closed and only do take out orders, however, they are open till 8pm. We walked in at 2:30, just beating the lunch rush! We chatted with the wonderful lady at the register who filled us in on the specialties of the square deli. They are known for their steak sandwiches, the seeded roll, and the pizza. Steak bomb on a seeded roll was worth all of the hype! The steak had so much flavor and the cheese drives it home. Just the right amount of steak, great texture, it's like taking a bite of heaven. We heard locals ordering with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles so those options are endless here. Pasquale pizza so fresh with those cupped pepperoni, sour dough crust, and roasted garlic. The perfection of char right out of the oven and the fresh basil gives it a refreshing finish. It came out piping hot and had that New York style sag in the middle. It's one of those slices you need to fold when it's hot. The sauce was plentiful as it left a smile on your lips at the end of each bite. Italian on a seeded roll was very good, quality meats and chopped pickles, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and cherry peppers with oil and vinegar. It was tough to keep all of it with the meat as you bit into it, but it was pretty easy to scoop it back up with the sandwich. As we were enjoying our sandwiches the owner was there to make sure everything was good and engaged in conversation with us and other patrons about how he does things and we discussed other worthy restaurants in the area. Definitely will be back! Everyone must try that pizza and steak bomb! read more

So...I saw recently an instagram review of the establishment touting their food. Upon checking it out and trying their Cheesesteak sandwich-I am convinced it was the best cheesesteak I've had in my 50 years. My order: Cheesesteak with long hots, grilled onions, seeded bun, garlic mayo. It's a tiny place up front, vast majority of their orders leave the shop to be eaten off site, but service was quick and efficient, though the sheer volume of orders had introduced a small delay in getting the sandwich-the wait was worth it. I ate my sandwich in the little "park" in front of the library across the street. Full five stars on the sandwich-it was a 25 minute drive off my route to get there and will be doing it again. read more

Tried this place today for the first time. It was packed ! We waited for steak and cheese on sesame bread for almost half an hour ( i'm not complaining-- it's a popular spot :) My husband loved it, and i ... liked it. It definitely good quality meat, good chunks of nicely cooked peppers and onions ( we asked to add it ) and lots of cheese , but the bread was a little burned and the meat was under seasoned to my taste. Yet we would definitely go back. read more

First impression - Went to the door at 11:15 to place large order to be picked up at 12:30. The bearded guy (Owner maybe?) came to the door like Inwas a tax collector or Jehovah's Witness. He couldn't have been more of a dick. Second impression - ‍ Went in to pick up at 12:15 to see if it was done early. It wasn't which was fine but the way the guy told the girl at the register that it wasn't ready was rude. "I said 12:30." She came back and said, "He said 12:30!" Final impression - Outstanding food! Better service needed. read more

Way overpriced and overrated! Idiot owners a fool who thinks his Italian sub is best ! What a joke any Italian sub that has demostic ham is a joke ?

I love the pizza. It's excellent. One of the best in Boston. I have sent many people in this direction. Small and a couple of tables. But in this day I went off script. I ordered the steak and cheese sub. It was on the board as a special. I was taking it to go. Bad move. Right from the first bite it was a huge sliced hunk of fat covered in cheese. Unfortunately it was the same all the way through. $14 down the tubes. I don't know what happened because everything I had here to this point, had been of the highest quality. Idk-Maybe a new cook in training? I brought some meatballs home they were great. Therefore, I'm going 3 Star because it may have been a one-off and they have traditionally been great. Usually a 5. I'm not willing to say good bye. I'll try them again. read more

Wow. Just wow. After getting pies from here over the years, I've gotta say, THIS is the best place for a pizza in the Boston area in my book. I've ordered their cheese pizza ("Our Cheese" in the online menu) for pickup on several occasions, and it always hits the spot. The tomato and basil combo is fantastically done in particular. I can't even wait until I'm home to eat - I usually wolf down a slice right then and there once I get into the car. The shop itself is also easy to get in and out of for pickups (they've got an insulated rack near the door itself), and it feels like your classic neighborhood pizza spot atmosphere. So happy we've got Square Deli around. I've been getting pizza in the Boston area for over 25 years, and this is for sure the spot! read more

I'm from California and I came here with My brother Joe tonight, and when I tell You the pizza is so good you don't even need any pepper flakes, it's super delicious definitely the best pizza in Boston that I've had. I will be back again. This is my new favorite pizza spot the pizza it's beyond bussin, smackin, the pizza was pizza'n I would give it 20 stars. I can't wait to come back! Thank You again for great customer service, the staff was amazing. read more

The pizza is an obvious labor of love and well worth your time. The ingredients are top notch and very worthy of all the accolades received. What is maybe slept on a bit is the sandwich program and the use of the seeded rolls. Massive upgrade to most delis here using the same, soft roll that doesn't hold up. Great bread, great ingredients (again), and thoughtfully made. Great spot. read more

Really nice staff! Shoutout lani , she recommended the meatball parm and southwest philly, both did not disappoint.

I got this recommendation from TikTok and I'm so happy I came. I tried the Philly Philly sandwich and the chicken Caesar sandwich on seeded bread and they were SO tasty. Also a very friendly patron offered me a slice of pizza and I got to try that too and it was SO good, definitely coming back for that next time. Overall it's a small joint turning out some quality offerings, that I would definitely love to revisit. read more

Amazing subs and solid pizza. The pizza is a little soupy but the subs are as good as it gets.

Oh my God I saw it on TikTok. It looks so amazing. I had to try it. I go in I order in Italian with American cheese everything on it seasoning and red wine vinegar I get charged $21. I almost had a heart attack. I said oh no I just ordered one sub they like yeah that's for one sub a cheese pizza is like $23 help by this point I had already said you know OK I'm standing there like baffled that I paid $21 for this up so it must be huge. I get the sub average size sub I get home. I open it up. I would have so disgusted with anything had zero taste. They never put no red wine vinegar the pickles that they use remind me of like bread and butter pickles do yourself a favor if you want a real Italian sub, don't go to that place because you will not be impressed I wanted to wrap it back up drive all the way back and tell them give me my $21 back and go to the north end or Eastboston Meridian Market and get a real Italian sub. I said this must be a boogie join or something because there ain't no way of serving this food that they're making it there. I will say one thing there was a woman at the register. She was so sweet and I did say to her are you kidding me $21 for one sub and she just eyes open wide and was like yeah but it's really big really big. Are you kidding me? It's an average size sub. The only thing I will say I was impressed about was the bread everything else never ever will I go there again ever don't waste your money people read more

The Square Deli - It's a regular average size sub actually I think Meridian Market Lodge subs are bigger than that - Delis Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

Not sure what is up with this place, have heard good things but just not happening for me. First time there in November was 12:30 on a Wed. ordered a cheese pizza and chicken parm sub, lady behind the counter said 25-30 minutes, ok half hour comes and not ready, lady tells me 10 minutes, ok..... 10 minutes comes and no food still, meanwhile have to get back to working at 45 minutes ask where is my order, tells me the chicken parm sub is ready and has been sitting in the warming oven, still no pizza Why she did not tell me the sub was ready is beyond me, I could have eaten it I cancel the pizza as I have to go, eat the sub while driving but it has been sitting in the warming oven for a bit and is a little soggy. it was ok 2nd time stop there on a Tuesday afternoon this month they are closed, 3rd time stopped in for a steak and cheese this month and they are out of steak Figured I would give them another chance, things happen. not sure what is going on here, all these great reviews and my experience has not been good. I am done trying this place, not going again read more

Chris and the gals are the best. just the nicest people. Any kind of pizza and any hot sub will curl your toes!

My name is Kim. I came from Revere to try out the spot I came on March 10 about 115. Chris waited on me the owner. I know it was him because I saw him on what did you eat today, sir I got the large cheese the steak and cheese on the seeded roll with the long hots and the cheddar the chicken cutlet with the broccoli, Rob and the banana peppers. It was worth every penny much like $62 I would pay that again and again and again the food was phenomenal. The pizza was crispy. I didn't even have to say well done which is how I like it. It had tons of flavor with the sauce and the grated cheese and the fresh basil the steak and cheese the long hots I've been cooking long, hots forever and I've never seen them used anywhere to have them one that sub with that cheddar cheese unbelievable and the chicken cutlet with the Robbie unbelievable as well definitely go back again read more

Ordering is problematic and so is dealing with Broadway, BUT the food is so worth it. Sometimes there is online ordering, sometimes phone ordering, sometimes neither and you just have to show up. They sell out all the time. The woman behind the counter is no nonsense and she's awesome and efficient. The sign says "please be ready to order at the register" and that's how it should be. Nothing more annoying than people who stand in line and then waste other people's time at the register. Opened at 12. I walked in at 12:01 and was third in line. Two minutes later the line was out the door and down the sidewalk. The pizza is perfect in every way. Thin, crispy. The good cupped pepperoni. The homemade seeded rolls are top tier. The steak is prime. No gristle whatsoever. I am never disappointed. They are consistent and I never feel ripped off, which is now a rarity with takeout. read more

Happened upon the Square Deli when a friend were in Chelsea for a medical test. OMGOODNESS. It was amazing. The menu was huge and so were the sandwiches. We had a Reuben and Paisano with lotsa fresh ingredients including yummy fresh bread. Served with homemade chips and pickles. Enough for 2 meals or to split if we agreed on the sandwich, lol. The owner was SO nice and friendly and accommodating. We opted for take out containers for another meal and the chocolate chip (homemade & huge) again with a great balance of soft in the middle and crispy on edges. They have been working on their cookies for a while, so they say, I think it's by far the best cookie I have ever had! hopefully don't have to go back for medical tests but would definitely field trip for their pizza next which has won many awards. read more

May have been good years ago with original owner but I have tried 3 times and it sucks! Pizza is not worth the rating from idiot Portnoy! Steak in steak and cheese sub is fatty and cut too thick. Italian sub is a joke, cold cuts are not authentic Italian, the meats are more like what you find in an American sub! Very LIMITED menu, 4 cold subs, NO PASTA, NO steak tip or other dinners, just garbage sandwiches. Pictures are from years ago, they do not even offer what they advertise! Stay away and save your money read more

I have tried to order from here 2 days in a row, and both days, they fail to answer the phone and their online ordering system is faulty. The hours on the website change every 5 minutes. One second, it's marked that they're open 12pm-5pm, then it says "closed 6pm - 6:45pm" and now it's telling me that the establishment is closed entirely on Thursdays. I was excited to try this place, but with the difficulty in ordering, I am no longer wanting to give them my business. Seems sketchy. read more

A decade ago I moved to Boston from New York, it was really hard to find great pizza in these parts. With the exception of one or two places, pretty much all pizza I encountered was way below standard. Especially Greek pizzerias. Good lord. So anytime I find a pizza place that is legitimately good, it's a highly coveted find. I ordered delivery from Square Deli and my pizza was absolutely fantastic. In fact, it was one of the best first bites I've had of any pizza ... anywhere. Including New Haven (though it's not the same style). it was perfectly thin and crispy without being overcooked, an incredibly flavorful sauce, and didn't flop over much with the soppressata ingredients weighing it down. I ordered Italian subs too , which were very good. Overall, I'm very very happy with this place and I'm looking forward to ordering again in the future read more

First time here despite living in the area for 10 years. I wish I was around when they won the 2023 Roni Rumble Winner because the local voted them best pizza in the state. For as far as I can remember, they weren't even known for the pizza and started off as a sandwich shop. Here is what I recommend: Any or every pizza & sandwich on the menu. The secret item to buy here is a bottle of their hot honey or vodka sauce to go if they have any extra. read more

Consistently delicious neighborhood spot for pizza and sandwiches. Catering and healthy options available as well. Always good ingredients cooked thoughtfully. The pizza is in competition with the respected standbys in the area -- Regina, Santarpio's, etc.--" and their eggplant parm is so nice and thin and crispy. Dedicated to giving back to the local neighborhood as well. Treat yourself to the Square Deli. read more

I had no idea about this place and I live around the corner! My daughter and her husband who live about 15 miles away saw it on social media .

The Square Deli has been me and my family go to spot since the owner Chris opened. His sandwiches were always phenomenal, but his pizza is now our hands down one of the best pizzas I have ever had. It's me and my family go to for pizza night. You can tell how much care goes into making his pizzas if you're looking for a new spot in the Everett area I highly highly recommend going in and grabbing some pizza. There's a lot of other things to choose from and I haven't had one bad thing yet. read more
