East Derry General Store 50 East Derry Road, Derry, NH 03038

"Didn’t order hot food but great selection of alcohol and ice cream and general food items"

"Ordered pizza to pick up. When I arrived 20 min later, the man working was holding my ticket and told me they had closed the kitchen already. Baffled, because the tavern was full, and they didn't close the general store for another 30 minutes. I asked if I could just have my money back (I already paid and tipped). While he was trying to figure out how to give me my money back, more online orders came through. At this point he told me he would make me my pizza. If he had just started making it when I originally ordered it, it would have been finished by the time I arrived. Now I'm stuck sitting waiting with my kids in the car for him to make my pizza. Sam needs to turn off online ordering if they're not going to honor people's orders. It's ridiculous to order dinner, pay for dinner, and then arrive at the estimated time given. Just to be told they're not making food anymore, only apparently they are if enough tickets come through?"

"Awful!! .... We wanted to try their food so ordered for the 1st time. Ordered pizzas, subs, chicken and onion rings and fries. Cheese on pizza was not mozzarella and smelled so bad. Pizza crust and sauce had no taste at all. Sub barely had meat on it. Chicken was cooked to death and very dark. o- rings had a burnt taste and fries were cold. Sorry East Derry Pizza. We will never come back. Just Awful."

"So I gotta be honest. I'm seeing a lot of review bombs being thrown at this place. I'm not exactly sure why? I went in for the Krispy Krunchy chicken, which if you've never had is amazing! They even offer to make it fresh if you don't feel like eating the hot and ready version. The ready to go was still steaming so I had no qualms grabbing some. Gigantic juicy morsals of flavor that just go amazing with the light fluffy biscuit, with just the right amount of honey! Do you like seafood? Because they also make Krispy Krunchy shrimp! Oh man do they hit, just be careful because the tails are on. You can easily see it, but if you are hangry, you could miss it as you stuff a handful into your mouth hole. Excellent beer and cigar collection. Clean, friendly polite service. All in all, maybe they just had a great day. But again, I can't understand all the one star reviews based on my experience. I will be back without a second guess. Give this place a try if you're in the area and want some bomb chicken!"

"It’s really unclear why the recent reviews are so horrid. Really people? Firstly the food is rock solid. Sure there’s some stuff on the menu that’s a stretch for some folks but you’ll get that anywhere. The pizza and subs are reliable, the chicken never fails, and the wings always hit the mark. Secondly it caters to the specific desires of every craft beer nut out there. While not my speed personally I have witnessed enough pretentious debates over which four pack from a LOCAL business should be chosen—and those folks come from far off. I know one person that makes the hour drive just for the beer. Most of all the owner is extremely busy but always does his best to do right by the customer. In the past ten years I’ve watched this business flourish and become a staple of the community. Expanding the drink selection, broadening the kitchen, and adding a full on tavern too. Net net: Definitely worth the try or becoming hooked on for a weekly family takeaway."
