Prides Deli & Pizzeria, was purchased in 2009 by Endicott alum Michael Magner. As a local student Michael was a frequent customer of Prides. Michael loved the location and thought of Prides Pizza as the undiscovered jewel of Beverly, Ma. Michael believed that with longer hours and better ingredients, Prides could become something special for students and residents alike.
And over the past few years that is exactly what has happened. Prides has since been voted "Beverly's Best Pizza" and business has thrived. Prides is home to some of the best eats on the North Shore. In 1947 Concettina Mantella immigrated to America from Calabria, Italy. Concettina brought nothing except the clothes on her back and old country recipes that had been handed down to her.

Excellent thin crust cheese pizza. The crust was perfectly proportional to the pizza; height and depth wise. The cheese had that glisten, not too cooked and appropriately melted. Flavor hit with classic italian seasoning, not too powerful but enough to satiate the taste buds. Lastly, the texture is near perfect, to the point where it goes down so smoothly you don't even realize you just downed a medium pizza all by yourself. Overall, great experience and great customer service.

We just happened upon this place at 8pm on a Sunday night and man let me tell you it was good. The Almy will change your life. It is steak and chicken peppers onions buffalo sauce. One of the best subs I have ever had. I live an hour away but am going to have to find a reason to come back this way again. Excellent

What a gem!
Food is always very tasty, fresh and too quality. Fast service for pickup (haven't had delivery yet). The folks who run the place are always smiling and happy and remember your name.
There's a small seating area inside and outside and it's right next to a great ice cream spot..... What more could you ask for?!

We ordered off of grub hub, pizza and wings. Nothing special. When the food arrived 75 minutes later. The pizza was incorrect, I called back immediately to let them know of the error. They apologized and said that food would be there within 35 minutes. The correct food order arrived 55 minutes later. (It's now been two hours since I first placed the order. My husband and I are very hungry.)The new pizza's toppings had completely slid off. It was just soggy thin pizza dough. The wings were barely mediocre. It was more than disappointing, I'm never ordering from them again. I waited all day for pizza

THE BEST PIZZA North of NYC. Having grown up in NJ and eaten only the best pizza, Prides is hands down the best. If you love NYC pizza with a not to think not to thin crust (one you can fold and still stands straight, zesty flavorful sauce, and real cheese that has the flavor of cheese (unlike most that use cheap oil-based processed cheese) this is for you. You will be hooked! Prides - please don't tinkering without that recipe! Perfecto!

Worst Deli in New England. Filthy Kitchen, Terrible food, and Incompetent "chefs." If you DO happen to get take-out, make sure you keep the receipt...that way, when you come down with severe food poisoning, or discover that your food has been burnt beyond recognition, you'll have proof (both of which happened to me). When confronted, they refuse to reimburse their customers, offering instead to make you another one of their disgusting subs. The only reason this place is still in business is because they deliver up til 2AM . The bulk of their business comes from Endicott and Gordon College. Their

My experience at Pride's was quite contrary to many of the reviews I have seen on this board. The service is polite, and the food is delicious. I could tell when I was eating one of their steak bomb subs that Pride's takes extra care to provide higher quality meats than most other places I've been to in the area. Their pizzas are creative, and also made with fresh ingredients. If you are looking for some delicious comfort food for a decent price, you should ignore the bad reviews and check this place out.

I always thought Pride's had OK food... got lukewarm fries once.
But, today, I went down there to pick-up a bite and the owner was outside yelling at a car full of girls. From what I can tell, the girls weren't even being nasty or rude. But the owner (I've seen him behind the counter a few times) was waddling around the parking lot like some strung-out Grimace, dropping 'f-bombs' and threatening the girls with the police.
As a father, I was thinking about saying something. But before I could get out of my truck, the girls drove off and the manager went back inside

Holy smokes owners...read your reviews!!!
When are the owners going to wake up and realize that the people answering the phone are about as pleasant as a dirty diaper. It seems like a common theme. What a shame that customer service is no longer valued by people in the industry. Would it kill you to answer the phone and be polite or even welcoming?
When I call and say, hello I would like to make an order for pickup.. "yeah, what do you want", or even better put the phone down without saying anything and wait for someone else to pick up. For those of you who actually care about

There's one woman in particular here that usually answers the phones and it probably the rudest person I've ever met. I understand she deals with college students regularly, but no respect is given to the customers who literally keep this place in business.
The food is ok, nothing to write home about. Recently, I was told my food would be an hour and after calling twice, (and being told my food was coming) was told two hours later that my order was never put in. The woman's response was "yeah sorry". Nothing was done to mend the situation.
Honestly, the only good thing
