Default Piccola Market

Wow! Just had Piccolo's eggplant parm with fresh ricotta & fresh mozzarella. It was outstanding! It was in theIr cooler, such a great grab and go!! They also have amazing cheeses,olives and Italian meats as well as salads and pizza. Do take the drive, really delish!

Now if only I could find a year round rental for my husband and small dog as we're recently retired (living with family on the lake), I'd be golden! Albeit, that's a different thread!! 😊
Think Spring!!

Default worth trying...

Their take home marinara sauce at $2 a pint is very good as well. They only sell one size of pizza, very large and very good.

Their sign is a little hard to see from the road. It is where Archie's and the MUG were. DD at one end and the Laundromat at the other.

There is another Thread on Piccolos on the forum.

Default Piccolo Market is great

I agree with everyone! The sandwiches are FABULOUS. We love the Sorrento. This is the family that used to own Maestro Italian Restaurant in North Conway. They are not open Sun/Mon, but that's okay!

Just wanted to bring this thread to the top. I've had a couple of sandwiches there in the last two weeks and they are outstanding. I really want to see this place succeed. Great option that doesn't taste just like everything else around here.

Default love that place.........

We go in there like every other day when we are up in the area. Can't beat the food and service. Usually buy a few loaves of the bread to bring home and stash in the freezer.

Piccolo has fantastic food, it is a real welcome addition to the area. Thin crust pizza with great toppings. Bill is working hard to build the market part of the business as well.

Moultonborough is actually "Piccolo," not "Piccola."

They are not trying to compete with Murphys gas station lunches . The prices reflect the superior quality you expect and receive . If it's to much for you try the DD lunch in the same parking lot but don't try to rate the quality against each other

The pizza menu might a little difficult, including deciphering the prices.

When we we picked up our order for Goodfellas, we asked if we could just get a pepperoni and cheese at a later date. The owner said sure no problem. You can order whatever you want, and the price will be reflected accordingly.

OK, now I understand.
$3 ... 10 items listed

v.

$3 for each item. Right ????

So, add bacon, mushrooms, kalamatas, spinach, peppers, pineapple, Feta, pepperoni, fresh
Mozzarella, Ricotta ... add $30 ... right !

So pizaa will cost $3x 10= $30 plus $13.99 = $43.99 for a pizza ...


$1.00 for a dash of garlic!

When I order a "meatlovers" pizza at Guiseppe's in Meredith I don't have to order separately.

Not ME!

Exactly...All I was saying, I have not tried them yet and I will. The last (stick) of peperoni I bought in a store I think I paid 3.00 for the whole thing.

For a 20" pizza that is very reasonable.

Ask Bill to cook your pizza light and not cut, then finish on a stone at 500. Almost as good a fresh out of his oven!

Disclaimer... it is a giant pizza and may not fit in your oven whole.

Default Clearing up price questions...

It is not indicated on the menu as it should be, but the pizza prices, which start at 13.99 per cheese pie and increase with additional toppings do max out at 24.95 (the price of our Goodfella, an Italian meatlovers pie of Pancetta, Sopressata, homemade sausage and pepperoni). Some toppings are $2.00, some $3.00, and some $4.00 which are higher end items such as broccoli rabe, sopressata, etc. Garlic is $1.00 as is extra cheese, but mind you....it is much more than a dash. Extra cheese is only needed if you really really want extra cheese. We don't short you on any toppings which are plentiful and plus atop a huge 20 inch pie. When you get pepperoni... you get what may look like an extra pepperoni in my opinion. Also ...sausage is all homemade as are the meatballs and fresh mozzarella. I won't charge more than $24.95 for a pizza with reasonable toppings. (not for a request of "I want 4 lbs of Prosciutto Di Parma on my pie for example). Most pies with a few toppings that we sell average around $19 - $21 I have noticed. Hope this helps.

And how about a gluten free vegan pizza?

Haven't had one of those since my mom mistakenly put a shirt card board with tomato sauce in the oven instead of the pizza.

You are still higher priced than the HOP in the area.... by around $5.00/pie (without the Premium toppings you describe)... Personally I would buy them for my wife and I, but the kids have to be the priority for take-out.

No offense intended here to the market, we just do not seem to be the customers for this store/restaurant.

No offense taken. I completely understand. I have 4 kids myself and the only thing they get to eat is what I cook them. Our prices are simply based on food cost. I don't price them according to what others charge. The cost may seem higher than some I suppose, especially if someone is getting $8.99 for a 20" cheese pie somewhere!! Maybe it is the imported plum tomatoes in our sauce, or the special "00" flour in our dough, or the fresh vegetables we use, etc. I'm sure I'm getting less return than most, but I've always put the passion of cooking before the price. There are places for everyone. I am glad we have who we have and I get to see them everyday, as I am there every day making most of those pies myself.

Guisseppe's large Pizza is a 16 inch, and if I read their large pizza toppings list right, they are some $2, more $3, and the some $4 and up.

Looking at a 20 inch pizza, with premium ingredients, the pricing is not out of line. Looking at the area of the pizza, a 16 in pizza is (8x8x3.14)=almost 201 sq ins of pizza. A 20 in pizza is (10x10x3.14) = 314 sq in of pizza.

That is the old A: Pi x r squared. but in this case pi may be squared, but the pizza R round. In any case, I think piccolomkt has a pretty good deal, with 50% more area and premium ingredients.

We are on the other side of the lake, but may get a chance to try you guys one of these days. Good luck. Good pizza is readily available, but great pizza is hard to find. Yours sounds Great.

Sorry. I hope I didn't frighten anyone! But...

This is one of best canned tuna available. My understanding is that it is hand cut from the belly. At $7.89 a can, it is less expensive than the best price I could find online...$8.88. You'll never buy Sunkist again. This is very hard to find in NH. Piccolo has it!

Wow Only $7.89 for tuna when we "common" folk pay a $1 in Market Basket for their top of the line tuna.

You might also be interested in this tiny gasoline station I have found. The guy only uses deep well oil and they refine it in 50 gallon batches. Costs 7 times what we "common" folk pay for gas but it is sweet stuff.

And I have a source of local lettuce. The guy uses only the finest steel knife to cut the heads from the roots and charges a mere $9 for a small head. Life just does not get any better than being able to pay the highest prices .

Wow. I'd hate to post something about the watches I own. The reality is that some people simply have more money or, in my case, prioritize differently. On a teacher's salary, I currently choose to own a boat that costs three times what it would to update our 70's era bathroom (think green with apothecary wallpaper).

Enjoy your $8 tuna and $20 pizzas (and feel free to share)!

This is one of best canned tuna available. My understanding is that it is hand cut from the belly. At $7.89 a can, it is less expensive than the best price I could find online...$8.88. You'll never buy Sunkist again. This is very hard to find in NH. Piccolo has it!
Wow and here I was thinking I was the only one who ate this!! It's tuna tenderloin and really is the best!! Once you try it you will be spoiled for life!

FYI... You can get it for $5.00 a can at Amazon if you buy 12 cans. That's where I buy it...

This place can be such a sandbox...

I'm sorry you are "common" (I assume synonymous with ordinary).

I drive a car I bought in 1992. My boat is a 1988 model. I don't consider myself "common".

However, if I do the math correctly, for an investment of $6.89 more than what you usually pay for a can of tuna, you too could now start calling yourself, uncommon! Tell your friends of your opulence. An investment well spent!

I carry this tuna because I am a specialty shop. No point in me carrying Starkist. It isn't the kind of tuna you mix with mayo and give it to your kids on white bread. You enjoy it as you would a nice piece of Unagi Sashimi. Though it is pricey, I don't set the price high. I just add my cost as I do anything I sell. It is expensive when I get it, therefore it remains so. I keep my prices quite reasonable actually. For example: Prosciutto di Parma $16.99/lb. Taleggio cheese $9.99/lb., our homemade fresh mozzarella $7.99/lb. San Marzano tomatoes $3.99 and imported plum tomato cans $2.99, Sopressata $11.99/lb....etc.
All restaurants, pizzerias, stores etc. have food costs, and depending on what they choose to carry or use as/in there product, dictates the cost. Yes, some may inflate prices a bit, but most don't want to, as it deters business. I know customers are cost savvy and I am careful to keep my prices as reasonable as I can. Remember, we as business owners have big overheads. That food cost goes back into the business. There are your Golden Corrals and your Four Seasons and Aquavits and all those in between; they price according to what they use as well. The great thing is, it it is up to the consumer to choose where they want to go depending on their liking and what it is worth to them.
