Southway on Thain — Restaurant in Lewiston

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) “Excellent pizza, great service, and a true Lewiston favorite”

Southway on Thain is one of those local pizza spots that gets everything right — fresh dough, quality toppings, and friendly service that makes you want to come back. It’s the kind of place that feels like home whether you’re grabbing takeout or dining in with friends and family.

The pizza is consistently excellent. The crust has that perfect balance — crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside — and it’s clear they make it fresh. The sauce has real flavor (not too sweet or overpowering), and the toppings are generous and evenly spread. You can tell care goes into each pie. I tried a combo pizza and it came out hot, perfectly cooked, and absolutely loaded with flavor.

The staff are friendly and efficient, keeping orders moving smoothly even when it’s busy. They greet you with a smile, double-check orders, and make sure everything’s right before it leaves the kitchen. It’s that kind of small detail that separates an average pizza place from a great one.

The atmosphere is casual and relaxed — ideal for a family night, watching the game, or just enjoying a good slice and a cold drink. It’s clean, comfortable, and feels like a true neighborhood staple.

If you’re in Lewiston and craving pizza that tastes homemade but crafted with professional skill, Southway on Thain is a must. Consistent, flavorful, and genuinely local — easily one of the best pizza...

I Ordered 2 pizzas and they said 30 minutes. They delivered at about 50 minutes which didnt bother me at all about the time except the pizza was not even luke warm. That was the good part, the pizza was terrible. Nothing tasted the same the crust was doughy and limp, nothing tasted right and the sauce didnt taste right and just edible at best. Very embarrassing to tout a place so much and be so disappointed. We were worried Southway/Happyday had changed their recipes. We went to the Southway ave store and ate in recently, and so happy it was just as delicious as we remembered. I have no inclination or desire to EVER get pizza at the Thain...

I ordered two XL pizzas online and they were ready exactly on time. The gal who greeted me was very friendly and efficiently retrieved my pizzas and asked if there was anything else I needed. The pizzas were perfectly baked and tasted wonderful. The only thing I might ask for next time is for the pieces to be cut a...
