P J Pizza Place

The pizza is a Tripoli-Cristaldi’s hybrid. Like when they cross a poodle with a Schnauzer or whatever. It’s great pizza. Had a slice while waiting. We had called in 3 large cutlet sandwiches. We waited our arses off for those cutlets. Broke into ‘em on 93 headed toward Logan. By the time we reached the Tewksbury exit, I was ready to declare it, «The best cutlet I ever had in my life». My brother, who’s like the Julia Childs of cutlets, said, «Pretty good. I might make it one of my stops». Believe me, that’s high praise from this arsehole. Go to this place.

Been going there since 1975. They make things today just like they did 40 years ago.
Just heated 2 meat pies we picked up this afternoon, excellent. Cutlets are incredible, pizza excellent. The family who run this is 3^rd generation. Try them once, you’ll be back.

Still love this place. Ordered a Cutlet sub last night and like others hear have stated it was friggen AMAZING! Best pizza in the Methuen area IMO. I still call my orders in but when I ordered last night the girl on the phone told me it would be done in «7 minutes». Drove right down the and the food was ready on my arrival. The crust/​dough here reminds me of fried dough. So good!

a friend i mean coworker has been ranting and raving about this place so figured i would give it a try i got aslice of meat pie and wife got spinach pie, crust was nice and crispy very good i highly recomend it ! my cowoker told me they had real veal so i inquired about it while we were waiting the gentleman gave me and wife a generous sample thankfully my wife didnt want it next time im grabbing a veal cutlet sub it was awesome !!!

Ive been going here for 25 years and its still one of the best meatball subs money can buy! If you havent been here to try one you need too!

They make the absolute best Pork Cutlet subs! Thin, crispy, tender with a nice sweet tomato sauce on a soft roll. IMO, the best I’ve ever had, no other location in the area has anything close and trust me, I’ve tried them all. Did I mention they are HUGE! One large sub covers two 8″ plates I also love their pizza and spinach pies.

PJ Pizza is a pizza place, but their specialty is the great veal cutlet sandwich. You won’t find a better cutlet anywhere. I have been going here for 15 years, and the cutlet sandwiches are always excellent, never fatty. Try it you’ll love it.

Pj’s pizza was a place my parents would bring me many, many years ago! I grew up on there pizza and meat pies, which to this day are still top notch. The standard has been held high since day one as far as good food, love the consistency.

When I was a little itty bitty young ‘un, we’d visit family back in Lawrence and go to town on the meat pies. They are… UH.MAZ.ING. Seriously. Perhaps it’s the ‘comfort food’ aspect of the pies… but the hot crispy dough on the outside — soft and warm on the inside, zesty flavorful meat filling — yeah, the meat pies are pure love wrapped up in a delicious doughy hug. Parking on the street is pretty easy during the day and the service is quick and polite. Just be sure to ask for sauce if you get your food to go! Hmm… considering heading back for seconds.

PJ’s Pizza Place is an institution, which has been in business for over 50 years, originally named PJ’s Spaghetti House (different location) back in the 1950s.
Located across the street from Malden Mills and next to a hair salon and barbership, the place itself is very small with a few tables in front of the counter. The walls are decorated with old pictures and articles/​ads of the rich history PJ’s and some old menu prices. You could eat lunch for under 30 cents back then. The prices today are still pretty reasonable, most menu items including whole pizzas are $ 10 and under.
They offer pizza by the slice and pie, meat pies, calzones, subs, pasta, and blue plates (served with fries, salad, & bread). A catering menu and baked goods are also available by special order.
I stopped in here to grab some slices of pizza for lunch. PJ’s Pizza must be very popular since the place seemed crowded and busy with seven other customers standing around waiting for their orders. I did have to wait close to 8 minutes for my slices to be ready since the pizza was in the oven. The pizza slices ($ 1.57 each) were rectangular and very similar to the kind of slices sold at Tripoli. The pizza slice has a thin and very crispy crust topped with lots of sweet tomato sauce and cheese. This is good beach pizza, which could be messy to eat since the sauce is not thick.
Other than the longer than normal wait, the pizza here was great and IMO, better tasting than Tripoli including the sauce.
