Pizza Pub

Stumbled upon this gem last night. Wow! What a fabulous find. Pizza was amazing — seriously amazing! And staff was super friendly. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing! Me and my friends were in town and we got a couple of tips from the dunkin next door that this place was «okay» but when we had a large buffalo chicken pizza I ended up eating 4 slices! This is my goto place for anything from now on and they are open till 10 which is great for a pickup only place.

Was a long time loyal customer and the food was great and reliable. Now under new management and things have gone down hill. Unfortunately won’t be going back after my rock hard grinder roll I received tonight.

The name «Pizza Pub» is very misleading. They make pizzas and you can buy beer out of a cooler. Thus the name.
As for the pizza? Greasy, rubbery crust, and low end ingredients. I would take frozen pizza over this pizza 9 times out of 9.
As for the pub? You can buy beer from a cooler. Maybe they have pitchers of beer, but I’m not sure. The place needs such detailing inside, we never eat there. It’s not a pub. Head down to Main St in Essex if you are looking for a pub.
The owners seem nice, but with 3 other pizza joints within a few mile radius, I think any «out of towners» would be better off exploring different options.
Sorry for the poor review Pizza Pub.

Terrible food, one link of sausage on a loaf of bland bread for $ 12.00 because I added peppers and onions?!
Nice people but steep prices and bad food. Much better options abound in tri-​town.

Dynamite calzones!
Rich, flavorful sauce and attentive service.
Open until 10 pm!
I highly recommend!
Yummo!!!

Pizza pub! This is where my mom would take us as very little girls when we were on the road and needed some pizza without having to go all the way to Pizza Works. It did the trick for saucy/​cheesy/​greasy/​affordable party-​style sheet pizzas. I remember the interior to be like an old ticket station, all brick and spartan… very clean… dim lighting… oh maybe that’s just my memory going fuzzy… I haven’t been in here in at least 15 years. Glad to see they are still running!

The Pizza Pub has been a local favorite for over thirty years, and they never disappoint. You have never eaten a better steak and cheese grinder in your LIFE. Order it with extra cheese, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and black olives. You’ll thank me, I promise! They’ve also got some delicious pizza — but have some paper towels at the ready because it’s well-​known to be extra greasy (and that’s a good thing!).
«Great for take out only»? I’m amazed that no-​one has mentioned the décor at Pizza Pub. Sure, it’s a small place and most people get their food to go, but it’s actually a very unique place inside:
The small dining area (only two tables) leads through a brick archway to the main dining area, where beefy wooden picnic tables sit atop a floor completely covered in rocks. Yes, the floor is made of rocks! I’ve personally never seen it done this way anywhere else, but it is very cool and adds a lot to the atmosphere. The walls are painted with outdoor scenes and there are several tall houseplants against the wall, all of which, put together, give a sort of out-​of-​doors feeling.
I worked there for about a month, many years ago — when it came time to clean up at night, we’d just get a big garden hose and spray the whole room down — it’s just wood, rocks, and plants, after all!
Above you hangs a model train whose tracks extend across the entire perimeter of the room (an homage to the Essex Steam Train, a world-​famous locomotive that crosses Main St. just down the road), and there’s a classic 50’s jukebox in the corner. Or maybe it’s an 80’s jukebox. Either way, it’s got a lot of great tunes in it.
They stock a nice assortment of drinks, including Jones brand sodas, and of course they have the normal, everyday fare.
All in all, it’s a great place and you can’t go wrong with anything you order. It’s going to be delicious!
And if you choose to eat in, you can’t go wrong checking out the very unique and cool dining room. It’s never packed and you’ll probably have the whole place to yourself, since 99% of people get it to go.
Check it out! You won’t be disappointed!

Great for take out only, unless atmosphere doesnt matter. A little pricey for Greek style pizza but portions and toppings very generous. Much better than Centerbrook pizza which is just down the street.
