Luisa’s Italian Pizzeria

How on earth does this place pass health inspection? I came in on a tuesday evening– 3 teenagers working– none wearing gloves and all using their phones, swearing, eating and coughing into their hands… And an occasional pony tail adjustment. My food was prepared by a young man with no gloves. I have been coming here for 15 yrs and never seen it in such disarray. The kitchen looks disgusting– theres a smooshed order of fries on the floor and everything needs a wipe down. Food is always good– but after seeing the inside today– i may rethink my return.

This is your average pizza place around the corner. Not the type of place you rave to your friends about when they visit but a good spot when your in a pinch.

i personally love this lil pizzeria. the subs are always good and their calzones are definately one of the best that ive ever had. i just wish the bathrooms looked a lil cleaner

This is a great dinner stop when coming back south from VT or NH mountains. I love the four cheese calzette (a calzone sized for one person). The «Ugli» sticks are delicious, with a strong garlic flavor. The house brand root beer is very tasty. I’ve been coming here since the early ‘90s and have always had good food.

Great homemade subs. The meatballs were hearty and delicious and the bread was nice and fresh. The location is great, being right off of I-​93; perfect for travelers looking to eat before baring Boston traffic. I would definitely go to Luisa’s over other chains in the area!

This place has been my favorite pizza joint in Manchester for years. I used to live out of state and would always make a point of stopping by here when I was in town. Now I live close enough that I can have it as much as I want – which is a little dangerous! What really stands out about their pizzas are the sauce and crust. The sauce is nicely seasoned, a little sweet, and tastes homemade. I’d highly recommend ordering a side of it to dip your crust in (there’s no charge for this). The crust is lightly crunchy on the outside, but nice and soft once you bite in. It also has a little bit of a buttery flavor. I haven’t tried too much else here because the pizza is so good.

I love their food but i do not love their counter folks or setup. I get delivery now to avoid the situation entirely and it works for me. I worked here as a kid briefly and though the experience was nice to have the owner does not treat employees well. Try a cattle car calzone, its like a burger inside pizza crust, or the chicken pesto pasta dish… yum. also the lasagna and ugli sticks are great!

DH and I ordered delivery from here tonight. I was a little concerned about ordering dinner (not pizza) for delivery, but we gave it a shot. We weren’t disappointed. I had the Pasta Primavera w/​chicken. The veggies were cooked nicely (crisp/​tender, not mushy) and the sauce was a light garlic cream sauce. The chicken was very clearly fresh chicken breast that had been cubed and sauteed. Very nice dish.
DH had the chicken parm and it was standard fried chicken + marinara + cheese over ziti. It must have been good because he ate it all. The portions are a nice size; big, but not big enough to feed a small village and the bread sticks (pizza dough brushed with garlic butter) were different and good.
Overall, we will order from here again.

I found myself in Luisa’s because I needed a quick meal before a movie and did not want fast food. I had been in before and knew the set up (you order your food at the counter). Ordering pasta at a counter can be a risky venture. However, many sit down restaurants get pasta wrong; therefore, I decided to give Luisa’s a shot. I ordered the ziti with sausage and peppers. The pasta, while obviously reheated, wasn’t bad and they did get the sauce correct (not too sweet) and the peppers were nicely done. The bread sticks, made from pizza dough it appeared, were good.
Noticing that they utilize those dreadful conveyer pizza belt contraptions, I wouldn’t order pizza here; however, I would be interested in ordering other menu items. I’m a little concerned about the chicken after reading one reviewer’s comment that they are using frozen and pre-​charred chicken (an awful idea).
In the end, it was better than fast food and as a person that could eat pasta with red sauce every single day of his life, I wasn’t disappointed.

Love the mini pizzas, especially pesto. Greek salad with chicken is another favorite. Friendly service. Comfortable environment.

Cute little place to stop by with friends or family for lunch. A wide selection of calzones and like items. It took a while to cook (Buffalo Chicken Calzone and Steak Calzone), but we’d go back again for a quick bite and is an alternative to fastf ood, but not a nice sit down dinner.

This place was actually pretty yummy. My friends and I stopped here on our way to Vermont on 93 North because we were starving and didn’t want crappy fast food. It’s really convenient from the highway. We got a couple pizzas that came pretty quickly and were heavy on the toppings with a yummy crust. Doesn’t compare to the likes of my favorite pizza places in Boston, but it was still tasty and definitely did the trick!
