Deep River Pizza — Restaurant in Deep River

🌯 GET A BURRITO 🌯

Alright, here’s the deal. I’m a gigantic shill for DRP, all my friends know it. Something about their pizza does it for me, favorite style, super well done for that particular style, and it’s relatively affordable.

I also love their subs, all of them. Shout out to the steak bomb and the TKO (chicken bacon ranch, honey mustard, mozzarella).

They’re quick, the people are always SUPER SUPER SUPER friendly, and food comes out hot.

But here’s the deal… they need a rebrand.

I’ve seen burritos on the menu there for years and never thought to get one. With that said, nothing about this place screams “Greek” to me besides the font on the menu and the Ακρόπολις on the logo (alright maybe a few of the specialty pizzas - moussaka and town hall, I see you. Gyros, ολα εν ταξη, relax.)

Tonight I finally did it, I got the carne asada burrito that they had on special and it blew my socks off. For $12 (market rate for the area IMO) you get a huge burrito, wrapped and easy to eat, no dripping, they grilled it, tons of steak and avocado. Man oh man, it hit the spot and I’m just so happy I could cry.

Deep River Pizza Mexican. I don’t know if anyone that works there is Mexican, I don’t know if burritos are inherently Mexican, I don’t know what I don’t know and I want to be better.

What I do know is that people need to know about this.

Chester, Deep River, Essex is grossly devoid of a Mexican spot that’s open late BUT this is at least maybe Mexican adjacent and open late enough for me (9 pm weekdays, 10pm weekends).

Get down to Deep River Pizza (Mexican?) and get yourself a burrito. You’re going to be mad that nobody told you to do it before.

So these used to be my favorite when I lived here in town I moved and I still when I'm in the area stop by to get my favorite chicken tenders. The honey mustard is still the best thing on planet earth it's like homemade but , the chicken tenders omg they changed them to the most disgusting frozen ( i wouldn't even honestly call them chicken cause idk what they are ) it's like a mixture of fake white stuff like your eating just white fake chicken like go get a mcchicken it'll be better quality chicken. Please bring your orginal tenders back you guys clearly cheaped out by changing them to the MOST UNEDIBLE chicken tendies I've ever had. I threw them out and saved the honey mustard for...

It's Deep River Pizza. Do I go because it's amazing? No, but it is pretty good and close to home. Their grinders are pretty filling, however, I'm not the biggest fan of their pizza. One thing I noticed, is they seem to put the dough in the pan in the fridge (way before cooking your pizza), which I have never seen another pizza place do. I think it does something to the pizza that doesn't make it as good as it could be. Overall, the prices are decent, food is normally ready around the set pickup time, and the...
