Panini Pizza Co

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. I had sweet chili wings and a pepperoni pizza. The wings were quite tasty, meaty, and well sauced. The pizza was very good, although my personal preference is for a longer cooked crust. The dough was fresh and chewy, the sauce a bit different but very satisfying. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 8.6.

It's not every day that I post a review and it usually requires me to be extremely impressed or extremely disappointed... I was not disappointed so I suppose you could guess that I was, well please read on and let Google know this review helped you make a very wise decision... At first glance from the road you can see a pizza place that appears to be the same as every other typical pizza place in New England. A small strip mall with a sign above the door, the only thing missing was a 16yo boy on the sidewalk dressed as a slice of pizza. Once inside most people would agree that there's very little seating but there is a couple of tables, the menu is small compared to most other places but the variety does not disappoint. Pizza by the slice, whole pies, subs, paninis, etc. My coworkers ordered pizza slices and a Chicken Parmesan sub, I ordered the Sisilian Panini. While waiting for our meals to be made in a very meticulous manner, we couldn't help but be entertained by the giant rotating oven in the center of the kitchen. We watched as two pizzas were being hand stretched and made and I kinda joked that the pizza maker was using "total concentration" but those pizzas were more perfect than any I had ever seen. We got our food to go in a very timely manner and once we got out to the truck and had our first bites... The Panini was perfectly crisp on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside. The fresh mozzarella and basil, the chips that came with it, oh my! And the chicken Parm was so thick my coworker wasn't able to fit the whole thing in her mouth and had to work at it little bits at a time. By far the best chicken Parm she had ever had the pleasure of eating. And the slice of pizza, don't get me wrong any pizza place should be able to make a decent pizza or they won't last long, set a new standard for which all other pizza should be judged! I know this is a very wordy review but this little hole in the wall pizza place has earned a must go to review from me and that's not easily achieved. As I was saying before I am extremely impressed! If you've read this review and you then decide to try someplace else in a 100 mile radius, that's on you! Keep making fantastic food and I will be back again and again!

We used to love Panini but have not been in a while so decided to give them a try. Prices are good. Crust is excellent, probably the best in town! That said, my husband wanted to try the Fenway. I was disappointed that it does not have any sauce, just a thick layer of cheese. Not "bad" but not as flavorful as I'd hoped. Toppings were not as generous as in the past, but perhaps that's how they keep prices reasonable?? At least they were fairly evenly distributed. I would not call the onion "caramelized" and there was no basil, even though it was listed as an ingredient. Perhaps that might've bumped up the flavor a bit?? We'll give them another shot, but try a different combo!

*UPDATE* You have got to try Panini Pizzas calzones! I called around Beverly on a crazy busy Friday night and everyone was busy to the point of not answering phones. Panini answered right away and my zone and large za were ready in 20 minutes. I always get their pizza (see original review) but felt like eating my feelings tonight and I have to say they couldn't have delivered a better cheat meal. Best calzone around town, hands down. My go-to that never disappoints! 💓🍕 *Original review** Just tried the bianco pizza and a cheese pizza to go and I am very impressed! Great prices compared to similar hi-qual pizzas (like Otto). Their crust is nice and textured but not too thick, plenty of cheese and not too much sauce. Cooked to that perfect level where the cheese is slightly browned. The smalls are nicely sized. Will definitely be returning!

I came to this place once during my shift as an Amazon driver, a very hungry Amazon driver. And they were phenomenal. I can't thank them enough. The quality of the panini and the fact that they had it finished and served in less than 10 minutes was no less than amazing. And the cashier even put it in a to-go box for me, without asking, because I wasn't 100% I could stay. Superb food and exemplary service that sets itself apart. Would go back in a heartbeat.
