Where to Eat South Shore-Style Bar Pizza

"Stop laughing at the name. Stop it! A Pembroke gem, Poopsie’s opened in the 1970s and has been turning out some of the best bar pies on the South Shore ever since. Note: These babies have almost cracker-thin crusts, even more than the other pizzas on this map." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal

Food is amazing! The space is a bit clustered because of the high volume people demanding the amazing pizza. That causes servers to be a little short but they are also amazing accommodating; as best as they can be!! My favorite is the Greek salad and the pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and hot honey.

The atmosphere feels like that late '70s-80s Cheers sort of feel, only it's very clean and comfortable. It's nostalgic but kept. Perfect South shore bar pizza. The best part about it is the flavor and texture of the crust, amazing cracker pastry sort of crust. Friendly staff, I felt very welcomed.

Dirty and tired not nostalgic or eclectic just an old tired place. Dark and shady worked when they had entertainment Cash only for good pub pizza. Service is average nothing more it’s not them but what they are taught. Have you ever had restaurant answer the phone stating we are 1.5+ hours out for pizza not Hello Welcome just that. 50 yr customer feels like I need to earn their respect as a cash paying customer. Hello Venus and others

One of my favorite south shore bar pizza joints. The only place I’ve ever been to that offers ghost pepper cheese for your pizza. I love spice and they absolutely kill it. Classic cold mugs for draft beers also elevate the experience. If you like bar pizza, this is one of the best in the area. John and Sarah are some of the most attentive people behind the bar and great to talk with.

This place gets real Busy no Wonder with the Great Bar Pizza they make how could it not be. The pizza was amazing we ordered Linguica and Onion Pizza, Hamburger and Banana Peppers Pizza, Pepperoni Sausage and Onion Pizza, Black Olive and Onion Pizza all laced and well done. The service was good and our waitress was friendly and attentive . The Beers were Cold and the place was hoping. If you're in the area definitely recommend you stop in and get your SSBP fix.

Sat at the bar with my wife for beers and pizza. Draft was cold in a frosted mug pizza was perfect, got sausage and banana pepper, and a bacon both amazing. Best part was our bartender who said he been there since the 70’s ! You wouldn’t know it he was energetic like it was his first week. Nice guy great attitude, thank you! We will be back 10 out of 10 must try place if you haven’t already.

absolutely iconic south shore bar pizza in a space untouched by time. chili pizza was *amazing*. and they still have the same pac-man game i played as a kid 20 years ago. 10/10, this place is everything to me.

First time here.. and the beer was cold started with a Greek salad with tuna. For $11 dollars so not worth it. Iceberg lettuce and a scoop of tuna. Maybe $6 at most Got the special house pizza. Pepperoni and onion and peppers Ingredients were tasty but the crust was reminiscent of frozen pizza. Cracker crust and not buttery or flavorful. Don't get the hype..

I grew up here. And I don't get it. Bar pizza is one step up from Elios and you people who claim it to be some kind of culinary delight are hanging on to a bygone era of the 80s when our parents smoked indoors. My god this stuff is terrible.

Poopsie's reputation in the South Shore Bar Pizza scene precedes itself so I was looking forward to trying this 'gem.' Upon entering, you get that old school vibe. Dark, wood paneling, old school chairs at round tables, the bar has limited options and a very old bartender. I got even more excited about the pizza. The place was super busy (It was a Friday day during Christmas vacation.) Our waitress wasn't really that friendly. She told us on average it takes 30 mins for a pizza, but today she just placed a large order so it would be 40. We went with a pepperoni pizza and a ghost pepper and banana peppers pizza. Laced & well done (Is there any other way?) Looked amazing but upon a few bites I felt a certain way... I hate Lynwood's crust. I felt Poopsie's crust is similar but done better. Is it a little dry and a few steps above cardboard to me. Poopsie's isn't my number one for bar pizza and am confused at why they are so revered...

I love Poopsie's. It's been in the same location for years. The interior is comfortable and unfussy. The waitresses are great. The pizza is fantastic and the prices are low. What more could you ask fo? ghost Pepper pizza? Poopsie's has got you covered. There should be a monument erected for this place. Inexpensive but delicious. Cash only. Free parking. Woooooooo, baby!

After a few people were served before us, although they arrived after us, we were told, just a few more minutes. 20 minutes later, we inquired again. And this time was told it's because one of the pizza has extra toppings, and it takes much longer. So I asked them to bring out the other ones, (one was for my 3yo- so pizza-cool-down-time would have been great), and I was rudely told they weren't ready yet either. We waited over an hour on a slow weekday. Sad to think this cash-only, hole in the wall/dump will survive based on heated battle of Best Bar Pizza- it blows my mind they are even a contender let a lone frequently voted best. I can't blame people for wanting to try based on all the hype, but after you go once, there is really no need to go back.

True Score: 5 Stars Rear 5 star review because of the delicious bar pizza and atmosphere. Their rendition of a bar pizza is in my top 5 of all of the contenders. They know how to cook a pizza, crispy. We got a mushroom onion and a roni with laced edges. Delicious, throw a great old school dark bar with the classic chandelier lighting. What a gem, the bartender treated so well, too. The kind of place that you grab a cold beer and bar pie and let the day pass away. This places setup is why they call them "bar pies!" Love love love, Poopsie's! A must stop for anyone if you are in the area. Thanks

Won't go back. Went there on our way to an event with 1.5 hours to eat and relax. Something obviously got mixed up because the food took well over an hour and the rude server offered no explanation or apology. Forced to take the food to go and rush to our event without eating. Once we had a chance to eat, the food was ok.

After a long day of work, I was pooped, so I decided to head to Poopie's with my 5 adoptive black African children! Poopie's pizza was outstandingly exquisite food. I had taken my adopted African children and the service was famously perfect. I was wearing my tight puma pants. The restaurant had a historic look as if it's been there for centuries. One flaw with the food served is that once I have returned back to my humble abode with my five adoptive African children, I had a rather overwhelming rumbly in my tummy.

The pizza was great and the service was excellent! But so noisy! To be fair it was a Saturday so lots of families.

I was a bit disappointed with my Poopsie's experience. I had heard so many great things and rave reviews, but it really didn't hit for me. The pizza crust was honestly the worst part of the whole thing. It tasted like thick stale crackers. Sort of cardboard-y. Friends of ours got the cauliflower crust and honestly that was 10 times better than the regular crust. The pizza was saved by the toppings, great sauce, and great distribution. We got them well done as always recommended. But because the crust was so bad, the edges weren't really laced. I did try the chili which was actually quite nice (with onions and cheese!). The ambiance is incredible mainly because it's so divey and well decorated. The wood paneled walls really make it! They've also decorated for Christmas which makes it extra cozy. I'm hoping it was just a bad crust day, but since we drove about 50 minutes just for the pizza, I don't anticipate visiting again anytime soon.

Best chili pizza. Renowned bar pies. Cash only so bring the bank roll. Highly recommend when cash in hand.

3 words: GHOST. PEPPER. CHEESE. This place is as old-school as it gets. Stepping through the doors is like stepping into a time-warp machine. Wood-paneled walls, carpeted floors, dark furniture, excellent pizza. This is one of those places that cannot (and should not) change after all this time. The pizza here is one of my top fav bar pizzas of all time. The dough, sauce and cheese combo is so classic. I love how all of these OG bar pizza joints have something that is unique to them. For Poopsie's, it's the ghost pepper cheese pizza. I don't know of any other place (bar pizza or not) where you can get this as a topping. The best way I can describe it is it is not hot/spicy, but makes your mouth warm. I've never had anything like it and I absolutely love it. I also love The Beauty pizza, which is just diced pepperoni & onions but it's delicious. This place is a must-try for any bar pizza connoisseur!

The restaurant was practically empty, we waited over 75 mins for just pizza. The waitress was rude, curt and could not remember to bring our soda. The pizza was burned black on the bottom/crust. We put $5 in the jute box, which had lights on, and the music did not play or refund our money. Overall, disgraceful experience! :(

Didn't live up to the hype for me. Place was dark and dirty. Pizza was probably my least favorite south shore style pizza I've had. Cash only. Waitress was friendly and on point though. Still - wouldn't recommend or return.

I would give zero but it's not letting me. Over an hour wait for cardboard crust pizza could have made better at home. do not go here

Everything is great, the cauliflower crust is better than the original, pitchers of miller light and bar pizza is the best.

If you like stale cracker crust and waiting forever for it, this is your place. If you like indifferent staff that act inconvenienced by your presence, come on down. Truly do not understand why this place is so crowded. Domino's is better, and I don't really like Domino's. If you are in the area and want a south shore bar pie that is literally 20 times better, go to the Venus in Brant Rock.

I guess I'm never going to taste Poopsie's pizza... Could not get through on phone so drive over and walked in to order I got a very snappy response when I tried to order a takeout pizza in person 'it takes at least 30 minutes and they have a bazillion orders ' I'm glad they're so busy, but I will not ever step foot there again . So make sure you order ahead of time because they do not like walkins.

I don't get the hype. There was an 1.5 hour wait early on a Saturday so we decided to sit outside. The pizza was fine but it was picnic tables and not my favorite. We got ours burnt/crispy and it was just slightly crispy and still pretty soggy. We got salads and pitchers of beer to start which were good but if you have pitchers of beer, usually the pizza turns into 10/10. The fact that a pitcher could not save the pizza was bad...

Was told we had to try Poopsie's.... Had a pizza and salad. Delicious. I highly recommend the Julienne salad with ham and turkey. Grab a pitcher of soda ..... it's free refills and it's fountain soda. Yummy. If you are in the area - stop on in. It's worth the wait (if there's a wait)

Paul O.

Yelp
Ghost pepper cheese with jalapeños pizza was great. Mom has bad teeth so we requested sandwich bread NOT toasted, it was. 45 minutes for a 14 minute pizza and sandwich is unacceptable. Not real busy at all, and at least 2 peeps in kitchen. Emma was a nice server. Would hate to be in there when it's busy. Pizza was worth the trip, take-out next time

We've heard about this place for awhile and finally decided to check it out last Saturday for lunch. What we've heard is that this is the place to go for their thin-crust bar pizza. We were ready. It's located in a Pembroke strip mall with an inviting old-school facade. I don't know about you but I've found quite a few hidden gems in strip malls over the years. Never discount a strip mall restaurant! Upon entering it looked like we had stepped back in time to the 1970s and I mean that in a good way. It's a large, dark paneled space, with an acoustic tile ceiling and overhead lighting that some of us remember from childhood. Despite it being a sunny day it was on the dark side indoors. Although it's November now I could see that dark cavernous space being especially appreciated on a broiling summer day when you want nothing more on a scorching day than to escape the relentless sun in a cool dark bar. There were quite a few people when we arrived but there were still plenty of seats. You are welcome to seat yourself. To the left of the restaurant there is a bar and a few TVs with the sound on low. We sat as far from the bar (and TVs) as possible and weren't bothered at all by any TV noise. Our wait person greeted us quickly and took our drink orders. If you're not terribly hungry two people really could share one pizza but these are smaller bar-style pies. My husband and I each ordered one. I got mine with onions and anchovies. Yes, I am an anchovy gal! He ordered a mushroom, onion and black olive pizza. There is a bit of a wait for the pizzas so sit back and relax with a beverage. We each ordered a beer. I went old-school and got a Miller on draft while my husband got a Stella. This is not a craft beer joint and for that we were both grateful. Sorry, hipsters but we hate craft beers. When the pizzas arrived they were beautiful, steaming, thinly crusted pies. My heart skipped a beat and for a moment was propelled back to my childhood when my dad would take me to a local pizza restaurant in NYC very similar in look and feel to Poopsies. I had a misty moment. I noted a bit of char on the crust which made my heart soar because to me, a bit of pizza crust char is essential. These pizzas (technically "pizze") had the right balance of sauce, cheese and a judicious application of toppings. There was just enough onion on my pizza and the perfect number of anchovies. They weren't overwhelmed with sauce. Given how bold and salty the flavor of anchovies are you have to be careful with them. This was bar pizza deliciousness extraordinaire. The pace here is relaxed, the atmosphere is friendly and no one is rushed. It was such a pleasant and delicious lunch where we in fact felt like lingering. We've heard that on Friday nights Poopsies is packed to the gills. I guess we won't ever go then. For sure we will be back for another weekend lunch. If pizza is not your thing there are plenty of other menu items like hamburgers, chili, salads, and the like but what Poopsies is known for is thin-crust old-school pizzas. The prices are quite reasonable. Please note that this is a cash only place! It may have taken awhile for us to get ourselves here but we are really glad we did. We'll be back.

Hubby and like the family owned local bars/restaurants. This one in Pembroke is great. The pizza is their claim to fame, most to go orders have at least 5 pizzas. However, they have a nice assortment of sandwiches and burgers. So the regular burgers are on the small side. We love that cause we can't eat a half pound burger anymore. They also have potato salad! Where can you get house made potato salad these days. Staff and customers ate very welcoming. Prices are good too! Thank you Poopsies.

I wasn't much of a fan of the pizza, though (full disclosure) I've yet to find a bar pizza I really enjoy. The ambiance was old-time local spot, which I enjoyed. The staff were very nice to us. The kitchen turnaround on the pizzas was pretty slow.

This place sucks. Go else where for pizza and food. Seriously, I don't understand how this place is packed. Dominos is miles better than Poopsies. Barely see any young people there, mostly aunts and uncles, now I know why. We got 2 pizza's, an appetizer and it took them an hour and a half, the older ladies try their best but they absolutely need training on how to take care of customers and some common sense. They are not efficient at all at doing their job. Everyone of the staff look depressing, not a single smile or greet. The pizza were salty af, crust is alright, but would not go back again. There are no signs that says seat yourself, and we stood there making eye contact until a customer said find a table and wait for service. This place is cash only but there is an ATM inside.

I agree with Tom L. Ive eaten at Poopsies many times and its great, but I have got Pizza there with the crust like a piece of wood. Not burnt! I,m wondering if they use old dough from the freezer. This has happened a number of times. Once I complained and was told theres nothin they could do!! No sorry, no offer of another pizza, nothin! to bad. Im never going back. Mike D,

I've only came here 2 times, and this place gives my anxiety. IT LIVES UP TO ITS NAME!I feel bad writing the review, but I wanted to give my honest opinion. Compared to Mcdonalds, Mcdonalds is first class gourmet. It took 1 hour 30 mins to get the food, and 30 mins to pay. Oh and you may need to bring a scale to weigh the amount of grease on your pizza. A low quality frisbe does not taste nice. You must have lots of time to waste when you come here. Only two waitreses were avalible, and the seat your self rule is just strange. When you pick your own table, they are covered in crumbs, and my friend sat in water on her chair. This place is a disaster. The game machine also stole my money. Cheese Pizza was a frisbee with cheese. IT LIVES UP TO ITS NAME!!!

I've tried them three times, calling in an order for a few pizzas and picking them up. And all three times there has been some woman who seems to be incredibly annoyed/irritated to have to deal with customers. I don't get it. You'd think they'd want to put someone in there that could at the very least be pleasant or friendly toward their paying customers. Maybe they don't care. If so, that's too bad. This coupled with the fact that they seem to take FOREVER to cook a pizza. One of the times is was legit 2 hours. WHY??? Are they using a small toaster oven? Are they rubbing their legs together to generate heat for their pizza oven? Has anyone there ever considered upgrading their equipment to handle the increase of local population in that area? I mean come on, it's 2021. Drop $10k on something half decent. And reap the benefit of being able to churn out more than one pizza every 2 hours.

We are on a quest for the best bar pizza. Today is Day 1. Visited Poopsies around 12:45 on a Tuesday. They were already taking phone orders for pick up tonight. We ordered a pepperoni and a pepperoni and sausage pizza. It was delicious! Perfect ratio of sauce to cheese and the crust was very light. Our waitress was Karen, she was great an so nice! Would definitely return again!

One of my favorite pizza places! They arguably have the best bar pizza on the South Shore. Great sauce, crust, and the ratio of cheese to toppings

Nolan B.

They must take their phone off of the ringer so the nobody can try to get food for pick up. So instead, we chose to drive and try to order food to go. Nobody greeted me or asked for my order for 15-20 minutes. They then told me it would be an hour for one large pizza. We just now tried to give them another shot and called, of course, the number is not in service.

Soooooo not the best pizza It's edible-ish. Service is BAD rude waitresses like they don't want to be there and it's inconvenient to wait on you.Our pizzas were brought out with another tables pizza stacked on top If you unfortunately choose to eat here bring a flashlight Save yourself and go to Lynwood if you want the best pizza

Pizza is 5 stars, ghost pepper cheese is yum. Phone off the hook when busy makes it lose a star but thats because the pizza is so good. We've learned to walk in and order.

Hit or miss, the pizza is much better when you eat in the pub rather than takeout. If you do want takeout, call early as the phone is off the hook after 4?

not good this time . ordered 2 pizzas. been coming here for years . on top of the hour and a half wait . That I have no problem with . The pizzas came. The crust wasn't burnt it was just hard as a rock. I showed the waitress.she said she'd show it to the cook. She came back apologized that there was nothing she could do.the cook felt it was fine . the bottom was hard as as rock. My thoughts being a loyal customer all theses years would it really hurt poopsies to cook another one . Or even ask .

One of the best local spots on the South Shore for a bar Pizza. They still only accept cash and of youre gonna order on a Friday you better get that order in by noon or the phone may be off the hook and you'll be waiting 2 hours. Totally worth the wait
