That being said, my current top 5 (not in order): 1. Veria, plain cheese, Hudson; 2. Bertucci's Ultimate Bertucci; 3. Piccolo, plain cheese, Center Harbor; 4. The Mug Pub, chicken finger and meatball, Meredith; 5. Pizzico, grilled chicken and meatball, Merrimack/Nashua.

I really like Sal's BBQ chicken, but it's just not consistent.

Really, Veria's? In Hudson NH? Weirdest pizza I have ever had, hands down, in my 58 years and that includes a LOT of pizza. That time span includes working during college at a Godfathers pizza where, I thought, we broke new ground in Weird pizza on the slow days. For me Verias was my second worst pizza experence behind only a ready to bake pizza I bought in Kazahkstan in a 7-11 like store. They had NO clue
More to the point of the thread, I recently tried Piccolos and found it to be excellent. Reminiscent of the pizzas of my childhood near Chicago.

Yes! It's the closest (Greek) pizza I've had to a childhood joint called Jimmy's in Dracut, MA. EVERY Friday until my teens--we weren't well off, so takeout pizza was a treat--we'd get a large hamburger, French fries, and an American sub for Dad. The original owners abruptly sold and new owners changed the recipe sometime in my mid-teens, and we never went back. I can still smell the pizza--I always held it on my lap--and my dad, who would pick me up directly after work smelling like machine oil.

Nostalgia makes everything taste better.

I bought a steak and cheese sub there today. it was packed full with steak and it was very good. It should be though as it cost over $10.00 with tax

I stopped and grabbed a couple of pizzas from Elvios Tuesday- very good. Even better was the news that they are delivering within 10 miles! I know for some of our members this is not a big deal, but we cannot get any food delivered in Moultonberry currently.

Elvio's in Moultonborough was our go to place for take our pizza before it closed years ago. Happy to see it open again. However, for a comparison, we ordered our usual pizza, sausage, mushroom and onion from Elvio's a few days ago to compare it to Piccolo's version of the same pizza. While Elvio's seemed to have more of the sausage than Piccolo's, it is a second to Piccolo's version. Have not tried any of the other items on the Elvio's menu and it is good to have another local option.
