Poseidon’s

The regular sized calzone is BIG. The large must be HUGE. They make it fresh and the crust part is crispy, which I love because that’s usually not the case with calzones! I got the chicken parm, and it was just everything a real calzone should taste like. Staff are so chill!
Only problem, it was very, very, very hot inside. Probably should’ve done take out.

The positives: fresh bread, nice friendly service. The negatives: Got a grilled chicken sub (it’s kind of shredded chicken, not really what I was expecting, but didn’t mind that) but the chicken itself was so fatty and grisly that I was spitting every other bite out into a napkin. Nothing worse than fatty cheap grisly chicken (ick). Clean it right or buy a better product. My sub was $ 8, typical pricing, but I was disappointed based on the quality. Sub roll was great but the sauce soaked it and it feel apart as you ate it making a big mess, plus I had to spit out every other bite, so overall a disappointing dinner. I will go back again and try something different but I’d avoid the chicken.

Arguably the best take out place in the city. Pizza, subs, wings, dinners, it’s all there.
The staff is unbelievably friendly and nice to everyone that comes in. They’re prompt and make sure your experience is awesome.
The food is amazing. Pizza is among the best in the city with regular classics as well as great specialty pizza. I recommend the meat combo, while these are typically heavy pizzas… the meat combo here manages to go down well and tastes amazing. Subs are awesome, using great local bread for their rolls you can’t go wrong with anything you get. I recommend getting out of your comfort zone and getting some of their specialty subs, they’re terrific.
If there’s anything to complain about, it’s hot in there. Especially in the summer so you’re better off getting take out or delivery. Plus, being right by the cut bridge does not always help if you’re in a hurry so make some time to get down there. But they take the hot thing in stride (check out their shirts if you don’t believe me).
Dollar for dollar a great choice for awesome take out.

Ordered Small Meatlovers pizza for delivery and it was awesome. Amazing crust, so perfect. The delivery guy was a sweet heart and had the pizza there exactly when they said it would arrive! So good! Definitely worth it and great taste too! Will return!

Wonderful food!
Pizza, yummy. we are an older couple order at least once a week, sometimes more, the food is fresh, tasteful, and always consistent… every thing is fresh and feels like it is make with a bit of love!
Thank you for great food!

They recently changed their pizza crust, very big improvement. Was a decent pizza before but great now, especially on Tuesdays when you can get two large for $ 12. They’re Wednesday wing social is also a great tasty deal. Pretty good subs, employees are friendly, and always a clean setting when you go in. Free delivery is an added bonus as well.

For the price — the calzones are delicious, the sauce is fresh and the service is nice. Can’t speak for the pizza… If the price were higher, I would expect better quality. But can’t beat it for the price.

This place has me toggling between giving 2 or 3 stars. I settled on 2 because I can find better here in Gloucester. I do think they have some pretty decent dishes on their menu. I don’t often write reviews unless I think I can truly help to sway some pour soul away from making a terrible decision… or help convince them to make a good one. I digress. Poseidon’s really shines with their chicken dinners (chicken kabob. buffalo chicken… etc) or their salads. They give quality feta; romaine lettuce (not iceberg hooray!); chicken is also cooked well. Their homemade pita bread is thick. doughy. and delicious.
However. I’d advise you to STAY AWAY from their PIZZA. It’s is seriously horrendous. You’d have better luck visiting the frozen pizza section of your local grocery store. Flavorless cardboard crust that’s chewy (but not in a pleasant Italian brick oven dough kinda way); flavorless sauce that tastes like it’s been frozen or sitting in the fridge for a week (and probably jarred); and very little cheese on the pie (this is probably for the better because their cheese choice is low quality). I haven’t been too impressed with the pizza choices here in Gloucester but this is by far the worst I’ve come across. I’d say stick to Maria’s (for quality Italian) or Mikes (for a very cheesy greek/​american style pie).

Awesome pizza, they have anchovies :) and they deliver, and are cheap, and prompt, and friendly. A+.

Poseidon’s is my favorite local pizza.
Always great service, friendly staff.
What more needs to be said!

It’s a local favorite. Probably been there a long time. Very busy. Giant Daisuke bobblehead. Great prices. I’m sure their grinders are tasty. Handsome menu.
I had a pizza and while it wasn’t a hot circle of garbage, it wasn’t anything dazzling. Crust, sauce, cheese. Sauce was on the sweeter side. Next time I’m in Gloucester I’ll try another pizza place.

the great service/​staff is still all aces. great subs too!

This place rocks! I order the chicken kabob salad at least twice a week. It has grilled pepper and onions And feta is included. Delish. I have had there bbq chicken Bacon pizza and it was up there in the flavor ranking!

Didn’t try the pizza or calzone but we will be back. Staff was nice and they try hard with the atmosphere. Subs are good with some creative options available. Pizza roll was really homemade. Food is cheap and very fresh!

Best pizza in Gloucester/​Rockport! I miss it now that I’ve moved to Florida :(

Primarily a take out place. Although sit down dining is provided, I drive by all the time and usually don’t see anyone. The place is bright and clean, the owner and staff are super friendly and the food is good. I love the fact that I can get a bust your gut delicious beef kabob dinner with Greek salad for chump change. The burgers and pizza are good too. Having seen several restaurants come and go at this location, I really hope they make it. By the way, it is directly opposite the harbor, so the views are great. But that is not why you are there.

I love this place. Clean, friendly, awesome location, and fantastic food. I especially like their selection of specialty pizzas. I almost always order the Godfather pizza. Once, I asked another shop to make it and it wasn’t nearly as good as Dennis’s. So, whatever he’s doing, he’s doing it right. Totally worth the drive, just wish I could do it more often!

The people who work here are rad. They are always so helpful, friendly and nice.
I usually get takeout from here, but as far as the restaurant goes, it’s small, has TV, pretty clean. Definitely a little hole-​in the wall type plae.
I went here last night and had a 12″ steak and cheese. I was STARVING. The guys were really nice, and made my sammy really quickly. They toasted my bread perfectly and the sammy was delicious.
They have all kinds of pizza (the Buffalo is awesome). I haven’t quite made it through the menu, but I am sure I will be going here all summer. And they have soda in the can.
I give it 5 stars for good service and being a tasty pizza place.

My occupation has me in Gloucester frequently, and Poseidon’s is my new go to lunch spot. In fact it was so good, I brought my wife and daughter up the 20 plus miles from my home for dinner on a Saturday night not too long ago to share in the experience.
My favorites are a Chicken Kabob Dinner, as well as a grilled chicken sub with feta, grilled onions and lettuce, healthy and satisfying.
100% recommend.
