Ellacoya Barn and Grill in Gilford. Best pizza around!

[Grady223]

Don't go anywhere that don't use real pizza ovens - brick, coal fired are preferred - avoid those that use glorified toasters.

\ I second that

The sourdough flatbread pizza at Tavern 27 is the best I've ever had. They have two for one pizza on Tues. Don't try to box one and take it home. They will charge you for the box

For regular teen-age type pizza, The Laconia House of Pizza been a stand by for years.

For Gourmet pizza, you would have to travel to ManchVegas for '900 Degrees' creation.

If heading for Logan airport, at the first exit after the tunnel, there is a pizza place with the best thin crust pizza. First time I ever like anchovies.

I had great pizza at the 'Red Blazer' in Concord. Trouble is it was a special and they don't carry it on their menu.

A new contender -- Wolfe City brick oven pizza. Wild selections including "dessert" pizza. All the traditional toppings as well. Daily pizza special(s), I think they also deliver (in Wolfeboro).

It's actually in Peabody, in the former Bennigan's location. I would stick with the East Boston location or just get take-out. The "dining in" experience at the new location leaves something to be desired.

The answer is simple - you cannot.

There are plentry of greek style options (some of which are pretty good) - but if there is an option for a good thin crust that is lightly to moderately greasy that would be great.

Surprised no one mentioned the Pine cone, in Melvin Village. I think their pizza is awesome. I also had a pizza special a while back at the North End in Moultonborough. I know they do not specialize in it but it was actually so good I thought about going back later that night and getting another one, just so it could sit in my fridge for a snack the next day.....Just another couple options.

I really enjoy buying Sal's pizza at Market Basket and heating at home! It comes out fantastic when heated at home!!!

I know that as forum members we post how well we like various restaurants and there is even a thread called "Menus" where menus are posted. But I don't see too many owners of these restaurants advertising because it is against forum rules.
I'm not trying to be the forum police but when is it OK to advertise your establishment in this forum and when is not OK?

At the beginning I would have agreed with you Rusty and yes it can get annoying but with the way the economy is these days many of the small business owners are just trying to get by so putting a quick plug in about your business doesn't bother me. Baygo does seem to take advantage of every chance he gets to put a plug in about his business but as a small business owner myself it is hard not to do the same. Just my 2 cents

Our webmaster Don has stated in the past that Baygo's response is perfectly acceptable. He does not want a restaurant owner starting a thread like "we have the best pizza in the LR" but is fine with responses to queries.

That works for me.

IMHO it sure is a good way to get free advertising.

Can you imagine what this would do if all restaurant owners took advange of this freebie.

Example: I start a thread called "Good steak in the Lakes Region" and then maybe around 100 lakes region restaurants post how good their steaks are and then post their website.

Maybe the rule should be changed to "Advertisements (including lost & found) of any kind are not allowed (unless answering to a query)"

If you look closer you'll read that I was answering a question:

I've done my advertising on this forum by paying for a banner.

Thanks "baygo"!

Sorry to use you as an example but I was just wondering how to interpret the forum rules for advertising.

[Espo]

This happens constantly on the forum. The "forum favorites" get a "thank you for the information" while other restaurants that are not as loved by forum members, get reprimanded. There is a double standard here. I'm not going to name the favorites that get away with talking about there specials and whats going on at their establishments, but forum members constantly show favoritisim.

Espo, I understand your point, but frankly the reason that some restaurants are favorites of forum members is because they are good at what they do. We are a discriminating bunch that way!

I was going to make that exact same point VitaBene. The favorites of forum members are usually those restaurants that are good dining establishments. I can assure you that I have no personal connection to any owner of any restaurant in the area. I have my "favorites," The Village Kitchen, Bobhouse, Lyons Den, and now Tavern 27 to name a few are my favorites because of hugely positive experiences at these establishments.

It's pretty simple, if you do a good job and please your customers you will end up with great reviews and positive comments. There is no conspiracy at work here.

[Espo]

So it's ok for an establishement to advertise and talk about what they are up to on the forum, as long as it is a place that you like? Ok, I get it now.

No, according to the OWNER of this website it is OK for business owners to respond to questions from members.

You are right "VitaBene". The webmaster stated that stand alone ad’s are not permitted but replies to service questions are OK.


This below response from the webmaster is in the site support forum section and the thread name is “Soliciting threads”:


“The "Errands" thread has been removed. When I spot or someone reports this kind of stand alone ad it is deleted. That kind of advertising is not allowed on the forum.

However, it is perfectly OK for contractors or other service providers to reply to questions and offer their services. If someone is looking for a plumber I would expect plumbers to reply and say "I'm great, use me". Some self-promotion is expected in replies like that and I don't consider them advertisements. Connecting contractors and customers is an important function of the Home Improvement section.

When a new member posts a question and a business replies I carefully check their IP and host information to make sure they are not the same person. That has happened a few times but is very rare.

As a general rule, contractors and other service providers should not start threads but are welcome to reply.”

Thanks Rusty, I knew it was out there somewhere but I had not tracked it down yet.

Well it's not Laconia but my favorite is a thin and crispy pizza as well. The Pine Cone in Melvin Village has great pizza. And will even do extra crispy if you so desire.

[mbhoward]

I'll add my 2c and vote for the Tuftonboro General Store. In back of the store, Mike makes the best pizza on our side of the lake. Not greasy, not overdone, not too thin or thick. Very much worth a try.

[fatlazyless]

$3.98 Wal-Mart Best Value brand frozen pizza..... 4-cheese rising crust.......no 9% meals tax...truly the best pizza ever made in the world's history of all prepared food, forever........amen!

I have tried the Tuftonboro General Store pizza and it is very good. I highly recommend giving it a try. It is actually my favorite now; preferred over the Pine Cone. But it is not a traditional thin crust pizza so it is unfair really to compare the two as "pizzas". It is a pan pizza but not so far as a deep dish Chicago style pizza.

As one of the toppings, I recommend the onions. They're piled on but are sweet (vidalia?) onions and not overpowering at all. My preference is the onions and sausage as toppings. The better half likes it w/o toppings so we get it only on half. So I tried a plain slice once and as I recall, the sauce seemed to have a little "richness" (as in a tomato paste). Just a little side note/observation.

And it has no resemblance to Greek style pizza which to me is sour tasting and greasier.

Anyone that reads this post and tries the Tuftonboro General Store pizza, please add to this thread. I am one who loves a good pizza and enjoy sharing comments about it. I strongly urge any pizza lover to give it a try. Its just a real good (non-thin crust) pizza!

[AussieDog]

That shop is long out of business and was one of the first if not the first pizza shop in Laconia. It has been missed by me and others for a long time.

If you want a pizza that is very close to the old Paras style give Southend Pizza and Seafood a try on South Main St in Laconia. I suggest the small size for the Paras replica.

Oh, and the seafood is also great.

[AC2717]

Meredith Village Pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BroadHopper]

I loved 'Pizza by Paras'. I never tried Southend Pizza, i do use 'Laconia House of Pizza' when my grandkids are here. They deliver.

The convenience store next to LASC has great pizza. The selection is limited and so are the hours. They served Jordan's ice cream!

So far, the 'Pine Cone' and 'Bayside Grill' have the best pizza in the general area. Guiseppe's is a close second.
