By Jonna Kinlin, Publisher of Macaroni KID Seacoast February 1, 2024

Oh, pizza. How we adore you! Whether it's a busy weeknight or a lazy weekend, pizza always comes to the rescue. Plus, who can resist that heavenly combination of melted cheese, savory toppings, and a perfectly crispy crust? We certainly can't!

šŸ• Pass me another slice, please.

We are incredibly fortunate to have a number of fantastic locally-owned pizza joints right here in the Seacoast, ready to satisfy our every pizza craving. Join us on a mouthwatering journey through our top picks for the best pizza in the Seacoast:



1. Flatbread Company

šŸ“ Address: 138 Congress St. Portsmouth

šŸ“ž Phone: (603) 436-7888

What we love: By far one of my family's favorite pizza places, Flatbread is all about community. Their pizzas are baked in stone hearths and their ingredients are locally sourced from nearby farms and local producers, where most are organic. We especially enjoy the Community Flatbread and Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie. They also offer weekly Carne and Vegan specialty pizzas that are interesting and fun to try. I don't think I've ever had a pizza there I didn't like!



2. Tripoli

šŸ“ Address: 418 State Route 286, Seabrook

šŸ“ž Phone: (603)-474-7764

What we love: Tripoli's pizza is made in a square pan, with classic styles of pizza toppings like cheese, pepperoni or extra cheese (with provolone!). Their crust is thin and crispy. If you like a sweeter sauce, then you will love Tripoli's. There's also something for everyone...the crust lover's can have the outer pieces, while the ones who just want all the toppings can go for the middle. 



3. OTTO Pizza

šŸ“ Address: 33 Water St, Exeter
šŸ“ž Phone: (603) 810-6886

What we love: OTTO Pizza offers some unique options when it comes to pizza toppings. Combos such as mashed potatoes, bacon and scallion, or butternut squash, ricotta and cranberry are unconventional, but delicious! They also offer kids and dessert menus.



4. The Community Oven

šŸ“ Address: 24 Brickyard Square, Epping
šŸ“ž Phone:  (603) 734-4543

šŸ“ Address: 845 Lafayette Rd, Hampton
šŸ“ž Phone: (603) 601-6311

What we love: The Community Oven has two locations in the Seacoast, one in Epping and one in Hampton. Their pizzas are cooked in front of you to order. The menu has a lot to choose from, such as classics like cheese and pepperoni, to buffalo chicken, pulled pork, and even a pickle pizza!




5. Pizza Lidos

šŸ“ Address: 1215 Ocean Blvd. Rye

šŸ“ž Phone: (603) 380 8400

What we love: Who doesn't love pizza on the beach! Open during the warmer months, Pizza Lidos is a fun, pizzeria with southern Italian coast vibes (think Amalfi!)
