Zachey's Pizza

donnamatrix · 03-25-2008, 11:53 AM

You know, I always thought C-Brothers was like a money laundering business or something. They never seemed to do too much business, the side of teh restaurant with tables was always empty. How did they pay the lease? Gotta say I'd rather see a Quiznos!!

I'm with you. C-Brothers was always empty and the food was only OK. I hope Zacheys has better food, because Meredith needs a good pizza place.

I'm with ya too. C-Brothers was OK at best. The grinders weren't even mediocre. I enjoy Pizza Factory's pies but will be giving Z's a try soon.

I had heard that the owners of the building was The Meredith Village Bank. According to old rumors the Meredith Village Bank was trying to get everyone out of that building so they could demolish and rebuild that building. So no one wanted to invest in their business knowing they would be asked to leave. So I hope the new tenant got a nice long lease. I know the hardware stores looks pretty comfortable there. I hope he MVSB has changed their plans!!

I have no inside information here but logic tells me that the M V S B , who owns the place ,is simply trying to fill the space as it waits for the state to take the property,relocate the hardware store and then wait for the new "Roundabout"
I am simply speculating here ,I don't know anyone involved ,one way or the other but the state will obviously need more space than what is sitiing open right now in order to put in the new Roundabout..it makes sense in my mind
as far as getting a long lease,,,,,if the pizza is great , it won't matter if they have to relocate in a couple of years ...the state or the bank will pay for them to relocate and as long as their pizza is wonderful ,,,,,people will follow

Where are the ROUNDABOUT plans? NOT in Meredith. Not at NH DOT!

Far too much speculation. Rumors.

The dining portion in that building, for my 40 years driving by, has never had good occupancy no matter the tenant: old dairy bar checkered table cloth place,
or any other restaurant there.

michael c · 03-28-2008, 08:17 PM

I read in the paper[I don't remember which one ,but it was local] that the state is gpoming to put in a round a bout at the intersection where c-brothers pizza is and another one just up route 25 at the cinema.
this was about 4-6 weeks ago

OHR, my wife works for MVSB so I've taken an interest in your rumor. Any rumor as to what they planned to put in there? Could have been a potential home for the "just finished last year offices" in Center Harbor. Either way it doesn't sound like anything MVSB would do, but you know what curiosity did...

Okay, so I tried Zachy's Pizza. I called in the order and got a large pep. pizza and tried to get cheese garlic bread and cheese sticks but they were out of both!! This was Sunday and they just opened on Monday of last week. I could understand if i was something like a sub or something with cold cuts that couldn't be frozen. But both of the things that I wanted usually come frozen, so I thought that they should be stocked up on them. especially since they just opened and in my opinion, they are pretty popular items.
So I got there in the amout of time that they told me and i still waited for 15 minutes longer. I was not happy. There were kids making the pizza, no one appologized and they were all eating french fries. Now that's something that would probebly just bother me so oh well. But I got the pizza and there large is the size of a medium. It came to $13.99, after tax. Which I found to be a bit steep. The pizza wasn't bad, but it didn't feed three adults, and I can get a large pizza from a taste of tuscany for just about 12 bucks that is much larger.
So all in all, it will be a while before I go back. But i did ask for a menu to take home and it was filled with coupons, so that was nice.

After reading this thread, I can't believe that no one has mentioned Louie's Famous Pizza, in Old Providence Common on 104 (same strip mall as Jackson's Star). This has to be the best in the area--loaded with toppings (including lots of cheese), great crust, and made with TLC. This is truly a mom and pop operation--with the owners on hand every day making everything (no part-time kids eating while they prepare your food!). And a large from Louie's is really LARGE. My husband and I can usually finish off a large from anywhere else, but we always have leftovers (which reheat nicely because of the quality crust--never soggy) when we order from Louie's. Their subs are outstanding, too. Louie makes the pizzas and his wife makes the subs. Delicious!

I agree....that is THE ONLY place for pizza. We are only a mile or so from Louie's, so it is also convenient, but I believe it is the best pizza in the entire area. I would encourage anyone who has not tried Louies to make the drive. It's worth it. Noboby puts more toppings than this place. The large with a single topping weighs over two pounds.

hilltopper · 04-01-2008, 11:41 AM

My wife wanted to stop at Louie's one Sunday but they were closed. She said she thought they had "weird" hours. Anyone know for sure?

MomCat · 04-01-2008, 12:35 PM

I'm not sure about Louie's hours, although I think that they don't stay open really late at night, as Mr & Mrs are there all day long. I do know that they used to close for vacation for a week or so during the off-season (maybe late March/early April?). The best thing would be to give them a call (603-279-3011). This is a family of friendly, hard-working people and they clearly take pride in their products. By the way, I have absolutely no affiliation with Louie's, just a loyal customer who appreciates quality food.

boat_guy64 · 04-01-2008, 05:52 PM

We are also big fans of Famous Louie's. Mrs. Louie is always so friendly and I've never seen anyone put so much pepperoni on a pizza. They are closed on Sunday.

Cristen · 04-01-2008, 07:21 PM

I've had Louie's pizza, and it is really good. The owners are really nice too. Give it a try, I highly recommend it.

Don't forget to check out their interesting collection of Coca Cola bottles/cans from around the world.

VitaBene · 04-01-2008, 07:48 PM

I will have to check it out. I love a good pizza. When I find a good place it makes me so happy- yes I am a confessed pizza snob.

I ask for my pizzas uncut and light then when I get home I fire up the oven with a nice fat pizza stone in it and heat that bad boy up- just like it came out of their oven!

froggy · 04-01-2008, 08:06 PM

I agree about Louie's on rt 104.

I know people who like Pizza Factory, next to Town Offices, for their Athenian and ask for white sauce! They leave no doe uncovered.

Have not tried Zach's at the lights.

If in vicinity of Belknap Mall, some really like Sal's Pizza in the mall, with their own exterior door.

I used to go to the Pizza Factory until last summer. Food was just ok....a little bit over priced for the portions. This past summer the owner gave me attitude because I refused to take the pizza I had ordered because he had burnt it. Really burnt it. That was the last time I went there.
