I moved here from San Diego.
Just give up now and save yourself.

I am beginning to feel this way. And pizza too

I mean, NJ / NY / CT have better pizza, but the south!? That's probably just more of a regional preference thing.

Bigger city. Better food.

There’s unfortunately not much “great” pizza or Mexican food in NH. Seafood, Italian, and New American is our best bets.
[deleted] OP t1_j3dlxhv wrote
Yeah, I’m loving the seafood here. I’m a chowder convert.
NH80397 t1_j3dmiab wrote
If you can spend a little, Surf in Nashua is best seafood in the state most likely.
[deleted] OP t1_j3dmmls wrote
Oooh thanks! I’ve mostly been sticking to The Lobster Boat in Merrimack, and it’s good, but basic.
NH80397 t1_j3dn1e6 wrote
Lobster Boat is totally fine and enjoyable, no shade, just is what it is.
Surf is a very legit restaurant.
[deleted] OP t1_j3dner0 wrote
They have a great lobster roll.
rudyattitudedee t1_j3hdxpw wrote
There’s a lobster boat in litchfield also. Surf is 10 times better. There are several surf locations. Price is definitely higher than lobster boats though.

We discovered AMAZING seafood in Lowell; Captain John's on Westford Street. Just go straight on Drum Hill, pass the dealership on the right, and then at the light bear right onto Westford St. It's about a mile or so on the left. They get fresh caught seafood from Gloucester every day and it's better than what I've gotten at the seacoast. There is NO ambiance; it's very low key, but the seafood is banging. You won't be disappointed.

If you like Greek pizza new England is the only place in the country that gets it right.

If.

True that. Tilton House of Pizza has won best pizza in NH for, like, a zillion years. Well deserved.
DemonDuo t1_j3fwpzg wrote
Romano's Pizza in Salem NH is pretty much the only good place around.

Pizza by George in Raymond. NY style and perfect!
rudyattitudedee t1_j3hebc0 wrote
Came to say this. Pizza by George is more than legit. They sell Stromboli, calzone, lattice, and other specialities right out of the case. I have friends who’ve moved all over nh but we grew up in southern Seacoast of nh and we still drive over an hour to pick up pies from George if we are meeting up or providing pies for a party etc.

I've actually had surprisingly good NY style pizza at Amicci's in Keene.

The closest you'll get is Los Cocos in Kittery. That dude grew up in Los Angeles and markets to the nuclear sub workers who transit both coasts.

Vintage Pizza in Manch is absolute fire
TheRealSconesyCider t1_j3fw2ca wrote
Espresso in Nashua for good NY style pizza.
California burrito for fish tacos and fresh burritos! 👌
MommaGuy t1_j3gj8l7 wrote
Mike’s Pie in Hudson for pizza.
classicrock40 t1_j3ivgk5 wrote
Try janie's in drum hill chelmsford. Nothing can match, but its better than most.
Remarkable_Culture97 t1_j3g7139 wrote
TJ'S on Pittsburgh or Bob's. I'm from a NY. I know pizza.
shitpresidente t1_j3gpdmy wrote
Nj in the hood has great Mexican food. There are a few great places in nyc. I think there’s one decent place in Boston and a few hole in the wall Spots in providence. For pizza….there’s great pizza everywhere in the northeast…it’s where all the Italians are. I’d just avoid Boston for the most part. No nothing about NH but assuming there’s nothing going on there lol
rudyattitudedee t1_j3hey45 wrote
“There’s nothing going on there” lol you really should try a few places and do research before you talk shit. I can think of 5 Greek HOPs that are good, two beach pizzas that are good at minimum, at least 3 good Neapolitan/Sicilian. Check out phantom gourmets episode on Granfanallys in Salem. That place is fire.
shitpresidente t1_j3hfaia wrote
So defensive … 1) I love NH 2) no, food really isn’t the best. Maybe for the seafood and some bar food but you’re not getting much authenticity. 3) it’s my opinion, calm down. You can think every other place I mentioned is terrible for whatever and I couldn’t care less
rudyattitudedee t1_j3hig43 wrote
I didn’t disagree with any place you mentioned but this is a nh thread, so if you know nothing about nh just don’t assume there’s nothing going on. I’m just saying if you think there aren’t good pie options then try the place I mentioned sometime before forming the opinion.

I gave up on pizza and now make my own. Not as good as a real NY slice but it’s better than anything around.
Umbert360 t1_j3fs189 wrote
Really? Not as good as a real NY slice? You should probably move to NY then

I am from NJ. No way I am going back there hahaha

Pizza by George in Raymond. You're welcome.
Thom_JJ9876 t1_j3gy2z9 wrote
I've been there .... Fair at best.
If you've found yourself in Raymond just go to Tuckaway, no pizza or Mexican, but the best burgers around
Strict_Zebra_3585 t1_j3h2msj wrote
I think George's pizza is awesome. But I do agree with you about Tuckaway. Just set aside a few hours for the wait.
rudyattitudedee t1_j3hf6u2 wrote
And by go to Tuckaway you mean “two hour wait”. That’s what we call it now. Place is fire but unless you’re a single at the bar at noon you are waiting two hours bud. Pizza by George will not be trash talked. Going a place one time isn’t a good barometer for a review.
Thom_JJ9876 t1_j3hgdsw wrote
I'll give it another shot. We never sit at a table at Tuckaway. Bar is more fun, just be prepared to battle with the idiots that walk past the line
rudyattitudedee t1_j3hhzr2 wrote
Bar is where it’s at. Definitely a fight though. Their two for 1 lobster rolls on Tuesdays are good.
SophieCatNekochan t1_j3eqxl5 wrote
Seriously. I live outside Tucson and am going to miss the Mexican food once I'm finally out of this hell.

Can I asked why you moved from San Diego? I lived in the Bay Area for awhile and been in Nashua for a bit now. Was thinking of San Diego as my next move. Was it cost of living?
wojtekthesoldierbear t1_j3eazfy wrote
Variety of reasons. Everything I wanted to do was or was quickly becoming illegal. Cost of living nuts. High taxes that were used against me. High business costs. Filing sales tax crap 4x a year was enough to cause cancer.
San Diego is the crown jewel of CA. Leaving the armpit where you are at will be a modest improvement.

Come here from Arizona and yeah. I would start working on your chef skills.

You know it is bullshit when the "authentic" cuisine has rice and beans as the first ingredients in a burrito, or at all.
Uugh.
Fenwick19 t1_j3fkn4w wrote
Do yourself a favor and go to El Tenampa in Manchester. No bullshit, delicious, authentic tacos. Meat, tortilla, cilantro, onion, lime, a side of salsa verde and maybe a negra modelo if you’re into that.
MsTomHardy t1_j3dwq9l wrote
At least I know how to make tamales now. 🫠
