Essex's N.y. Pizza & Deli

I brought my big family here and there was something for everyone. The chicken tenders really are the best I’ve ever had. The Cajun fries were so flavorful. My daughter got a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato and it was amazing. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful. After walking around Salem we were greeted with a big glass bottle of ice cold water and cups. Perfect! Thanks so much!

This was an absolute surprise! The pizza was far better than expected. The service was fast and very pleasant. We ordered a large pie (18”) half pepperoni and sausage half plain. I was completely floored from the first bite! The cheese melts in your mouth, the sauce has magnificent body and is spread in perfect ratio to crust and cheese. This pizza is no short of amazing. I am a native New Yorker and when I say that this is reminiscent of old style NYC I mean it! This pizza took me back to my childhood summers in NYC. Grizz was the pizza chef and made sure we knew how serious he was about pizza. His 17 years of experience are evident in every slice of pizza perfection. With his skill set Essex is at a clear advantage in the pizza game. The staff is very friendly and welcoming which only added to the overall experience.

I love the amazing selection of all kinds of dinners. The pizza is great.. but try something new! My hubby and friend like the Buffalo Mac and Cheese.. ummm ask for it on pizza.. they did it as a "daily slice".. maybe they'll make ya a whole one for a reasonable price!😁.. Don't forget to ask for Jimmy's Special if you're hankering for a tasty burger! Jimmy will ask you what ya DON'T like and then customize a burger JUST FOR YOU!!

The Buffalo Mac & Cheese is amazing (it is shredded buffalo chicken!) Get it as an entree, as a pizza or even a side to put on a few slices of a shared pie. Essex NY Pizza has great pizza, the cheese is delicious or dress it up with toppings if that is your thing and you'll enjoy it as well. I will continue to order and recommend delivery or takeout from here, thanks Essex NY Pizza for being in Salem.

Tried Essex's New York Pizza & Deli yesterday and it was awful. The service is amazing but the food is just terrible. Pizza was like dominos so not inedible. The coleslaw was dry and I couldn't even eat it. The buffalo Mac and cheese was really nasty. Tasted like the meat came from a can and there was barely any cheese and the cheese was off putting. It was also inedible for me. They also somehow missed an order note after repeating my order twice. I'm giving it two stars only because the staff was superb and nice
