The best pizza Gloucester, MA has to offer depends on how you plan to eat. Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana is the pick for Neapolitan pies, Uncle Frank's Pizza & Subs and Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef handle Eastern Avenue takeout, and Bravo By The Sea anchors Main Street. Google ratings for the six main pizzerias run from 4.3 to 5.0 stars as of 2026.
Key Takeaways
Searches for Gloucester pizza have climbed over the past few months, and the results tend to be thin lists of star ratings. This guide sorts the options by pizza style and by the kind of night you are planning: takeout, family dinner, or a table for two.
A note on who is writing. Coconut Grove Hideaways runs villa rooms in Cẩm Thanh, Hội An, Vietnam. It has no property in Gloucester, MA. This guide serves Cape Ann visitors and couples comparing destinations, and Hội An details appear only where they help your planning.
Below you will find quick picks and a style breakdown, then a comparison table. Dietary and pricing guidance and ordering logistics follow. Every rating comes from Google Maps data, and you should confirm every hour or policy with the shop.
The best pizza in Gloucester, MA is the pie that fits your plan: Neapolitan at Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana, takeout at Sebastian's Pizza or Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef, and a Main Street meal at Bravo By The Sea or Delaney's Pizza. Six pizzerias anchor the local scene.
This ranking weighs Google Maps rating and review volume. It also considers listed category and street location. Taste is personal, so treat the numbers as a filter rather than a verdict.
If you can try only one, make it Rhea. Its 5.0 stands alone among the six, though 55 reviews is a smaller sample than Bravo's 139. For the safest all-round bet, pick Bravo. Uncle Frank's is just as safe.
Neapolitan pizza is a soft, thin-crust pie with a blistered edge, baked briefly at very high heat and traditionally in a wood-fired oven. New York-style pizza is a large, thin, foldable pie sold by the slice or whole. Sicilian and grandma pies are thicker and rectangular.
Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana, at the corner of Roger Street and Harbor Loop, is the only Neapolitan specialist on the verified list. Call (978) 290-3454 to confirm its oven setup and hours. Ask whether tables take reservations. The honest caveat: a 5.0 average from 55 reviews is promising but young.
Google files Delaney's Pizza, Sebastian's Pizza and Bravo By The Sea simply under pizza, so the crust style is not documented. If you want thin crust or a New York-style slice, ask whether the shop sells slices and how thin the dough runs. Thin crust is a safe bet at Rhea by style alone.
Gloucester does not have a documented signature pie. What defines the local scene is the pizza-and-sub shop, visible in the names Uncle Frank's Pizza & Subs and Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef. Pairing pizza with roast beef and subs is a common North Shore format.

Takeout pizza in Gloucester centers on three shops: Sebastian's Pizza on Washington Street, Uncle Frank's Pizza & Subs on Eastern Avenue, and Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef, also on Eastern Avenue. All three pair pizza with a sub or sandwich menu.
Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef sits at 127 Eastern Avenue, (978) 491-5292, and lists hours of 10 AM to 10 PM every day. Its menu covers pizza, subs, wraps, salads, pastas, dinners and roast beef specials. That breadth helps when one person wants a steak sub instead of a pie. The downside is focus: pizza is one item among many, and the 4.3 rating sits below the leaders.
Uncle Frank's Pizza & Subs is at 214 Eastern Avenue, Unit 2. The unit number means you should check the entrance on the shop's site before you arrive hungry. Its 4.6 rating from 101 reviews makes it the strongest Eastern Avenue pizza-and-sub choice on paper.
Sebastian's Pizza, at 58 Washington Street, has the most reviews in the city at 349. That volume signals a loyal local base. Expect Friday and Saturday evening rushes. Order ahead and ask for a pickup time rather than walking in.
Family pizza in Gloucester means choosing a menu with options beyond one style of pie. Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef is the strongest fit, because one order can cover pizza, a sub, a salad and a pasta dinner for mixed appetites.
Sebastian's Pizza is the second pick for big-volume pickup nights, given its 349 reviews. Delaney's Pizza at 332 Main Street, (978) 282-7878, is a Main Street option with a 4.4 rating from 112 reviews. Call ahead to ask about seating before you arrive with children.
Honest caveat: none of these shops publishes a kids' menu or high-chair policy in the details available, so confirm by phone. Pizza boxes also travel well, which makes takeout the lower-stress choice with toddlers or grandparents who tire early.
Planning a family trip beyond Cape Ann? The Triple Room at Chiều Hạ Villa in Cẩm Thanh, Hội An, Vietnam sleeps up to 3 guests across 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Larger groups book several rooms.
Date-night pizza in Gloucester means choosing a place where the pie is the event. Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana serves a Neapolitan dinner near the waterfront. Bravo By The Sea at 131 Main Street suits a downtown evening. Neither is a white-tablecloth restaurant, so set casual expectations.
Rhea sits at Harbor Loop, the working-waterfront stretch beside Maritime Gloucester. Neapolitan pies are often sized for one or two people, so order two different pies and swap halves. Call (978) 290-3454 to ask about tables, since reservation policies are not published.
Bravo By The Sea, (978) 879-4522, holds a 4.6 rating from 139 reviews. Google lists it under pizza, but the name suggests a seafood-leaning menu, so read the current menu before you commit. Weeknight early evenings are the safest window for a calmer room.
If you want a fuller sit-down dinner after a pizza lunch, the best seafood in Gloucester guide covers the harbor-view options.

A Gloucester pizza comparison works best when it lines up address and listed style in one place. Rating and contact belong there too. The table below uses Google Maps ratings and each shop's published details. Confirm hours and service types directly before you go.
| Pizzeria | Address | Listed style | Google rating | Contact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana | Corner of Roger St and Harbor Loop | Neapolitan | 5.0 (55 reviews) | (978) 290-3454 |
| Bravo By The Sea | 131 Main St | Pizza | 4.6 (139 reviews) | (978) 879-4522 |
| Uncle Frank's Pizza & Subs | 214 Eastern Ave, Unit 2 | Pizza and subs | 4.6 (101 reviews) | See website |
| Delaney's Pizza | 332 Main St | Pizza | 4.4 (112 reviews) | (978) 282-7878 |
| Sebastian's Pizza | 58 Washington St | Pizza, takeout | 4.3 (349 reviews) | See website |
| Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef | 127 Eastern Ave | Pizza, subs, roast beef | 4.3 (191 reviews) | (978) 491-5292; daily 10 AM to 10 PM |
Read the table by use case. Rhea wins on rating, Bravo and Uncle Frank's win on rating plus volume, Sebastian's wins on sheer popularity, and Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef wins on menu range.
Gloucester pizza pricing varies by shop and by size and toppings. No published price list allows a fair side-by-side. Check each shop's menu page or call before you order, especially for specialty pies, which usually cost more than a plain cheese pie.
Dietary options are equally undocumented. None of the six shops confirms a vegan or vegetarian menu in the details available. Gluten-free is unconfirmed too, so treat every option as unverified until you ask.
Four questions get you a reliable answer:
Traditional Neapolitan dough is flour, water, salt and yeast, so a marinara-style pie without cheese can work for vegan diners at a Neapolitan shop. Confirm with Rhea at (978) 290-3454. Celiac diners should skip any shop that cannot name its cross-contact process. Wheelchair access is also not published for any shop, so call about steps and seating.

Gloucester pizza ordering is mostly phone-and-pickup, with online ordering at some shops. Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef runs online ordering through the 24SevenEats platform on its site, and it lists 10 AM to 10 PM hours daily.
Delivery radius is not published for the other shops, so ask when you call. Reservations work the same way: call Rhea or Bravo By The Sea before bringing a group.
Parking is the quiet complication. According to the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, 73% of Massachusetts visitors traveled by personal vehicle in 2023. In summer, expect competition for spaces near Main Street and Harbor Loop, and allow extra time on festival weekends listed in the Gloucester festivals 2026 guide.
Weather shapes the plan too. On foggy or rainy days, takeout and a museum visit beat a harbor walk; the Cape Ann Museum guide covers the indoor option. The seasonal weather guide shows when shoulder months run quieter, and the Cape Ann day trips list pairs well with a pizza lunch.
Takeout works best where you have a table and a fridge for leftovers. The same logic applies in Vietnam: Chiều Hạ's Room with Balcony in Cẩm Thanh, Hội An has a full kitchen, a mini fridge and a private balcony over the pool.
Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana has the highest Google rating, 5.0 from 55 reviews, and is the only Neapolitan specialist among the six main shops. Bravo By The Sea and Uncle Frank's Pizza & Subs both hold 4.6, from 139 and 101 reviews. Choose Rhea for pie quality and Uncle Frank's or Bravo for a proven all-round pick.
Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana, at the corner of Roger Street and Harbor Loop, is the Neapolitan option, and Neapolitan pizza is thin-crust by style. Other shops list only pizza, so ask whether their crust is thin or whether they sell New York-style slices.
Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef at 127 Eastern Avenue offers online ordering through the 24SevenEats platform on its website. For Sebastian's Pizza, Uncle Frank's and Delaney's, check each website or call. Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef is also the main late option, with listed hours until 10 PM daily.
No single Gloucester style is documented. The local pattern is the pizza-and-sub shop, where pies share menus with subs, salads, pastas and roast beef, plus one Neapolitan specialist in Rhea.
None of the six shops confirms these options in published details, so call before ordering. Ask about gluten-free crusts and dairy-free dough. Cheese substitutes are worth asking about too. A cheeseless marinara-style pie at a Neapolitan shop is the most likely vegan route, once confirmed.
Google lists Bravo By The Sea at 131 Main Street under pizza, with a 4.6 rating from 139 reviews. Its name suggests a seafood lean, so read the current menu or call (978) 879-4522 to see how the two balance.
The best pizza Gloucester offers comes down to three decisions. Pick Rhea Pizzeria Napoletana for Neapolitan quality, Bravo By The Sea or Uncle Frank's Pizza & Subs for 4.6-rated reliability, and Sebastian's Pizza or Gloucester Pizza & Roast Beef for takeout.
Call before you go for prices and dietary options, because most shops do not publish them. Ask about delivery radius and reservations at the same time. Recheck hours and ratings before each trip to avoid surprises.
