(Visited, 2/27/25) I recently visited this Tripoli's location, which shares a space with Dunkin and a convenience store. Even though I've lived in the area, this was my first time stopping by -- and I was pleasantly surprised. I came in for one of their regular strawberry shortcake cakes. I was greeted immediately upon arrival, and though the cakes weren't on display, they had them ready in the fridge "in the back." The staff was quick and helpful. While waiting, I browsed for one of their stuffed breads, but they didn't have any out at the moment. A staff member let me know fresh ones would be ready in about 15 minutes and kindly asked if I wanted to wait. I wasn't in a rush, so I waited in their cozy little seating area. Once the bread was ready, they packed it up for me. The service was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome. I'll definitely be back! read more

Not only are there prices going up , they now charge extra if you use a credit card. Been going to Tripolis for over 50 years. I am DONE . Never again. Will never ever do business with a company which charges Extra for using a credit card. Wake up or you'll be out of business before you know it . read more

EDIT: Indidnt mean to review this place twice, it was still in my cue on Yelp! I guess they both compliment one another though so I'll leave both..... I've been to Santarpios, Regina's, you name it in Boston....this place is the CROWN JEWEL. The pastries were phenomenal as expected, let's just get that outta the way first. The cannoli, the lobster tail, the shortbread cookie...phenomenal. I was told they were all made at their "other location" daily. The calzone was just OK. A little under seasoned, a little bready. A nice crisp outside though. Next time id skip the calzone and get three more slices of extra cheese. But the PIZZA. Idk what the "magic" here is but it's knock out. Super thin, very CRISPY crust with a little crunchy rolled edge. A piece of provolone on top to finish it. The smoky provolone is KILLER. But BOYS...the SAUCE... oh my god... it's a littttttttle on the sweet side...but it's a 10. This sauce stands alone. It's the Everest, the Ali, it's the BRADY of pizza sauce. I can TASTE the delicious tomatoes. They are so bright and so delicious. This is the pizza I've been searching high and low for for over 4 years. Granted I've never been to Chicago, and I haven't been to NY since starting my quest...but this pizza is by FAR the best I've had. It's probably made from 5 total ingredients, but I'd bet my entire Yelp career on it. Also it wouldn't surprise me if some people don't see what I'm getting at here. "It's plain" or "uninspiring". YEAH it SURE IS. The picture looks like my kid made it with a piece of toast and an EZ Bake Oven....But that's what makes it incredible. It's not all dressed up, it's not $6 for a slice. It's dough, sauce, cheese. Perfection. It's perfect. read more

This location is a bit of a clusterfuck. Salisbury can handle a long line of customers and keep it moving smoothly. Went to this location today to get a few slices and the young girl working didn't know if she was coming or going. Most of the other 6-7 people working at 6:30pm on Aug 6th were also doing way more talking and gawking than getting work done. I don't care personally, I just won't come back here...I just can't help think the owner should just hire the one old guy from Salisbury and fire 4 or more of the other knuckle heads. In the end, still making a great slice of pizza so I gave them the gift of 3 stars because I love the sauce and crust. TLDR: Great pizza, shit show for service. read more

it just keeps getting worse and worse at Tripolis. I could at least count on the scala bread. we have been getting it since the 70's. Now we can't even count on the scala bread. First mistake is that they had all the loaves presliced and in plastic bags. I just had my first slices. it had very little seeds, the consistency was completely different and most importantly absolutely tasteless. This was at the Methuen location. Will have to go to Piro's exclusively. WHAT HAPPENED TRIPOLI's ?! You used to be the best. Pastry is bad and now the scala is bad. read more

Methuen location is absolutely terrible on the weekend. Sunday evening no one in line, I stand in front of the bakery counter for ten minutes then ask a young guy, who is working bakery. His response, "Oh, what do you need?" Then I went to pay I added 1 slice and took my seat, after twenty-five more minutes, I went to the counter and asked for a refund for my 1 slice. I notice the young man that helped me at the bakery just smile. Employee's standing around noticing people waiting for service. Customer service was awful. Pretty disappointed because this location is close to home, but I will never go back to that location especially if three or four of those employees are working. One star seems too generous. Be aware of the weekends. read more

I'm a regular for best strawberry cheesecake! Also, get tiramisu, triple chocolate cake, chocolate bomb ect... for friends.

Ordered 6 champagne cookies today. I was floored at the cost! They were $1 each. This is price gouging. Have to say the cookies were delicious but not worth the dough. read more

The pizza didn't taste the same as it usually does. The flavor seemed off, and the crust lacked the texture and freshness I've come to expect. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely didn't match the quality that made this place a favorite. I'm hoping it was just an off night, because consistency is what keeps customers coming back. I'll likely give it another try, but this experience was a bit disappointing compared to previous visits. read more

Such a convenient one stop location- they are quick with service, offer great pastries, frozen goods for you to take home to cook yourself, staff is quick and friendly. I only go to this Tripoli location, they have the bread I use as well, they can slice it for you. read more

Service was great, pizza was stupid good. Location is in a post office, convenience store, fried chicken joint with a Dunkin Donuts for good measure. read more

Tripoli Pizza Bakery - Pizza Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Rich man's fare? Who thought a bit of dough and some tomatoes, and a sprinkle of cheese could cost so much. I remember buying a package of 5 frozen pieces of pizza for about 6 bucks. I went in today and had to pay 9.75 for the same. I might as well buy frozen pizza from the supermarket . Tripoli has seen the last of me. read more

The pizza is not my style but my family loves it. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. I deduct one star because the pastries sometimes leave something to be desired. I believe theyre made at a different location and delivered there. With that said i keep coming back for more. read more

Still a busy place...especially at lunch. Ordered 2 cheese pizza slices and had to wait 20 minutes! Come on! read more

I have been eating at tripoli's pizza since I was a little kid. I used to drive to Lawrence with my dad to go to the original and I have it every time I visit the beach. I went camping with my dad this weekend so I HAD to stop on my way for some center slices. I like a couple with extra cheese and a couple OG. The pizza was fresh, crust was crisp and the sauce was oh so sweet. Easily my favorite pizza of all time. If you haven't been give it a shot, you will not be disappointed. Oh ps. Get some pastries...it is a bakery after all. read more

Tripoli Pizza Bakery - Zaaaa - Pizza Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

I was down the street visiting some friends and they wanted to walk over here for some Italian ice. Tripoli is a neighborhood pizza/pastry/liquor/convenient store with a variety of everything you could possibly think of alongside with a Dunkin Donuts and Express US Postal Office. Over to the pastry area, it was completely clustered with different styles and flavors of baked goods. For me, it was a bit overwhelming because each pastry has quite a few selection of flavors and sizes pick from. And it was really hard to tell where the line started too. Once you do managed to sort that out, you can sit down at one of their tables and enjoy the goodies. Ricotta Cannoli- I went with regular size cannoli, the shell was a bit tough but I did like the light cheesy cream filling. Overall Service: Lots of young kids working here. They were friendly though. read more

If You Are True Northeastern MA, (Merrimack Valley & Salisbury, MA, Seabrook, NH Southern NH Seacoast) Residents, or Yearly vacationers at the Coast You Know "TRIPOLI PIZZA!!!" Born in Sicily, Italy, The Zappala Family, Thankfully Emigrated to Lawrence, MA., and their Bakery & Italian Bakery then Pizza became FAMOUS!!! Eventually Went to Salisbury, MA,... Now spread out all over the Merrimack Valley, so you don't have to go far!!! "CIN DANNI" read more

I had to laugh when I read the article in today's tribune. It is evident, that Mr Zappala hasn't visited his Methuen location in a while. Again, yesterday, I went in, stood at the pastry counter for 15 minutes while the hrlp was having a good time. I finally asked if anyone was waiting on the PO mastery counter. I was told they'd be right with me. When she started to wait on me, the phone rang. She said one minute and proceeded to take a pizza order. HEY, IM IN THE STORE. I ALREADY DROVE HERE, I'VE BEEN HERE WHILE NOBODY BOTHERED TO WAUT ON ME. HIRE A NANAGER FOR HEAVEN SAKE. read more

Best pizza and bread in Dracut. Bread and Pastry very good. Good customer service, pleasant.

Conveniently located, sharing a space with a Dunks, Post office,, and convenience store.Everyone here has been really nice and helpful each visit. Not a fan of the pizza, just not my style. Lots of sauce, minimal cheese, square cut. I've been chipping away at the baked goods. The carrot cake is ok, it has raisins in the cake, with cream cheese frosting, and chopped walnuts on the frosting. I did not enjoy the cream cheese frosting, its was super sweet and just really artificial tasting. I actually ordered my son's birthday cake here after trying the chocolate cake. They have 2 different chocolate cakes, the slice I tried was good, and we requested to have that specific chocolate in his birthday cake which they said was fine. Birthday day came around, the cake looked great, but the cake was not the same, and we were really disappointed. Nobody like the standard vanilla frosting they iced the cake with either . My.kids really love the chocolate chip brownies. I will probably try some other things, As it is located close to home, but will most likely stick to the safe options read more

Always great food and prompt service. Can't recommend enough. Much to be said about a business that has multiple locations.

This place was like a small slice of heaven. Fabulous pizza. Decadent desserts and a sweet little patio with picnic tables looking out at the gorgeous marshlands. Definitely recommend. No indoor seating. On site parking. read more

Tripoli used to have the best pizza up until about a year ago. Now, the pizza is poor! The dough is terrible! Lot of dough and no cheese. What happened?! Had pizza at North Andover and Salisbury at these locations in past two months. I say again, What Happened?! read more

Ever since I started eating nh beach pizza tripolis and cristys just doesn't taste as good anymore. I wouldn't say their pizza is bad I just found something I like better. read more

The review and star is about one employee. Not the food, pastries or any other employee. A woman name I didn't see on name tag as I am short and couldn't see much over the counter. I will elaborate my reason for the one star. A customer English speaking woman asked for information for a cake order, as she began to ask if happy birthday could be in English except for the word mother in Spanish could be done, the employee did ask many times if she wanted it all in Spanish, customer constantly said no. The customer and employee ended the order, In my observation in ended in a positive and well manner. But,to my surprise I heard the employee talking mis information and attacking the customer to another employee in gossip. She was heard by the 8 people sitting. She described the customer as racist saying she looked at her up and down when the employee asked her if she wanted the writing in Spanish, also saying I can write in Spanish I'm not stupid. The employee is a woman who is light skinned a little fluffy brown hair very loud and an attention seeker. Appearance isn't a factor on any Knowledge of any language, appearance should only be presented as welcoming in any establishment. read more

Can we say diabetes slices the slices are just horrible feels like I'm eating all sugar it's just wrong on how much sugar is in the sauce of their pizza i find it gross an it doesn't taste right read more

This is my first time using Uber eats for Tripoli delivery and it was great just as timed. The drive very nice and friendly. We always get pizza from Tripoli's who doesn't right? Anyways TODAY was my first time adding mushrooms to my pizza and I wish I hadn't because it was a big disappointment the mushrooms are NOT fresh they are canned, so I picked through it!! It made the pizza sloppy and soggy. We ate the pizza but will NOT do that again unless Tripoli's physically adds it to the menu order that they own use fresh veggies!! But for NOW I will stick to the old fashion just cheese,lol read more

The people that work here are friendly and efficient. I got a 8 box pizza with extra cheese and it took under 10ish minutes for them to prepare/heat it up. The pizza itself was delicious if you like "beach pizza". The provolone and sweet sauce go great together and I like the square style cut. They also have an array of desserts and pastries which I didn't get this time, but would definitely be interested in trying out. Overall a solid neighborhood pizza joint to fill all your pizza cravings! read more

the cannolis here are tasty and are made to order. staff are friendly and had good attitude. this tripoli is in a sorta gas station aesthetic building and has pretty poor air quality in the building. some of the food ingredients could be improved. read more

Let's get this out of the way... the pizza and macaroons at Tripoli's is the best there is! The Macaroons are literally the best in the world (as far as I know). The food is a 5! But I'm not just rating the Tripoli brand (which gets a 5), but this location. My one complaint that costs this location a star is that my wife and I came to eat in a relax a little bit while my parents watched our toddler... getting a well deserved break. We played a game of rummy while we ate and as soon as we were done, a guy came out and asked us to put the cards away and leave. He said "the man upstairs" didn't like us playing cards. I'm sorry... are we in middle school here? We're not children gambling... we're a husband and wife trying to enjoy a moment away from our kid. It's not like we were taking up a table from other guests. We were literally the only people there and there were plenty of other tables! This is just a rude and out dated practice. I'd much prefer a place where we're welcome to sit back and relax. It reminded me of the episode of Portlandia where Roseanne becomes the mayor and says "Coffee shops are only for drinking coffee"!!! read more

Excellent pastry and pizza. Get a cheese cannoli and eat it the next day. You will thank me later. Chocolate Washington Square...with a glass of milk. You will thank me later. For the pizza, stick with their traditional cheese, or extra provolone, or pepperoni. They have recently offered more toppings like green pepper, etc.. I hated it. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Nuff said. read more

The pizza is good and like the pastries also ... But find its hard to get them as they close randomly or so it seems . Drove over at 8:15 pm a dots shit down though web site and yellowpages says 9 pm It's ok though can get sane pizza at beach pizza in Salem nh .. And slightly cheaper also read more

I love their pizza. I do wish it was a bit more well done. It is very weak and bendy. For desert I recommend trying a whoopie pie. They are really great and filled with frosting! The white powder top is a nice touch too. read more

So disappointed with their baked goods lately, stopped there last night got a cupcake, piece of rum cake, small choc ganache cake, and a bag of pizzelles Everything but the rum came was stale..... nothing like throwing 14 bucks down the drain, cause it all went in the trash The only thing I would every buy there now is their pizza Too bad cause it used too be so good, apparently TOO much product and not enough rotation read more

I went to there Methuen Location tonight Saturday 22,2020 and was treated so Rude and the pizza Wasn't that Good as It was and instead of opening more locations they should have just worked on keeping there Quality up to what it was In the Past next time I am Going to Piro's where Quality is still Number One read more

Their pizza with tthe signature sweet sauce is not like any other pizza you've had. Always consistent and you have to get the provolone slice on top. Good spinach and meat pie slices too. Their bakery has every type of pastry you could ever need. But is there anything better than their sticks with butter? read more

First time I've had pastries at Tripolis and Howe St. Always went to Piros or North End. It's just as good as Piros for sure. Better than I thought read more

Cookies are my favorite dessert; and this location has the best Italian Cookies I've found north of Boston. I've been a few times now, and the cookies are always fresh, moist, and melt in your mouth delicious. I've had their pizza a few times and its similar to what you'd expect at a beachside pizza stand. Also, the sauce is a bit on the sweet side. That said, if you're driving by and you're hungry, a couple of pieces hit the spot. read more

I disagree with Matthew A. We go to Tripoli's here all the time. It even says on their Yelp ad that the average wait is 45 minutes. It's a busy place because the pizza there is phenomenal and consistent. Sometimes you get lucky and their is no line and they have pies lined up, sometimes, you wait. I have zero relation to the owner, just a satisfied customer. read more

Best pizza and customer service around. Even the superette and Dunkins. Great service.
