Elvio's Pizza

[thinkxingu]

I like most pizza. It's like the lake--even at its worst, it's still pretty awesome.

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.

Long Island, NY is littered with excellent pizza but my all time favorites are:
1) Patsy's, Brooklyn NY
2) Dad's, Brick oven in my father's backyard LI, NY
3) Lou Malnati's, Chicago

Sorry nothing in the lakes regions make my list but I will give honorable mention to Wining Butcher and I will try Piccolo the next time I am in the area, Sorry Sal's is just OK at best IMO

Sounds like I need to try Wining Butcher and, when it's up and running, Elvio's!

Why not give them a chance to open and try them out.

Try them ALL out - Wine'ing Butcher, Sals, Gusippees, Mug, Elivios, Ellacoya, GHOP.

The best thing we can do if give business to our local eateries! If it's not up to par - let them know. They may make changes that make them better.

Don't rush to judge before the place even opens.

Pizza IMHO - is always a blessing

drive up to Plymouth and try The Last Chair, they have wood fired pizza and they make their own dough. The best pizza I have had. And they have a brewery and serve their own craft beer. Its a great place.

I will give it a try but I doubt it can beat my fathers dough (with New York water), mom's sauce and the best fresh mozzarella. In a brick oven he built and designed himself.

Nothing can compete with homemade but you were talking about Lakes Region pizza, not homemade NY pizza. I think Picolo is very good. Definitely better than average but I think The Last Chair is better than Picolo. IMO. Plus the Beer! Even if you don't like the pizza if your a craft beer fan its worth the trip just for a quality beer.

OK I will try both this season and report back the results plus have a couple of beers

The new Elvios sign was being installed today. Hope they open soon!

[JEEPONLY]

Santarpio's too!

We loved Elvio's, the pizza was our Moultonboro fix back in the early 90's until they closed. While not Regina or Santarpios, we always had good experiences there and frankly never left disappointed.

Here's wishing them well; I'm sure it will become a multiple x weekly meal at our home and for many others in and around Moultonborough.

I agree with you and to me it was always good but Piccolo's is also very good. Too long ago to compare but I hope that do well. I really never liked the successor

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

[VitaBene]

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.
