Decent Bar Pizza Around Everett, Revere, Lynn, Salem, Peabody?

I love Monte's in Lynn for their bar pizza, but can't seem to find many other spots for this kind of pie in that general area. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Another vote for Monte's in Lynn. I haven't been back to Monte's in a long time. I heard that they remodeled the exterior of the building. I would get a couple of cheese pizzas and a couple of pepperoni or sausage pizzas to take home.

      I finally made it over to Monte's last week and was really delighted with the pizza and the place. Friendly bartenders and great people at the bar made the experience terrific. I ordered a cheese pizza with garlic which was all of about 10 bucks and it was really good, better than Brown Jug which really surprised me.

      Montes in Lynn, on Eastern Ave, does a great Bar Pizza. just stay away from any veg toppings as most are out of the can.

        Little Italy on Cabot street in Beverly is a hidden gem. the pizza is sweet and a very affordable. Joe's Pizza is also great if you can catch him open! "When the dough goes, Joe goes home."

            I always thought "bar" pizza was more of a south shore thing?

              It is, Pegmeister, which is why it's kind of tough to find it north of Boston. But there are some places that have it--they are just more few and far between (I'm going to be north of Boston this evening and seem to be on a pizza jag, BTW, which is the reason for this post, LOL).

              I send the motion for Sam & Joes and want to add Courthouse Pub off of Peabody Square for great thin crust pizza.

                i think Sam & Joe's in Danversport has a great pizza if you are looking for thin crust. One of my favorites. Not too far from Peabody.
