The Community Oven

Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service: ⭐ Kitchen: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price: ⭐⭐⭐ Pros: There was no need for a reservation on a Thursday evening at 5:45pm for a party of 8. We walked in and were promptly seated at our table. The wait staff was pleasant. The kitchen did an excellent job cooking our pizzas. The food was excellent! The tap beer quenched my thirst. Cons: The service was extremely poor. Our waitress at times seemed to purposely ignore our table so as not to even glance in our direction. The food (three pizzas) took over and hour to reach the table when the rest of the restaurant wasn't even full. No explanation on the delay no checking to see if we needed more drinks. Nothing. Some of the worst service I've ever experienced. Summary 2/5 ⭐. Would I eat here again? Probably not but if I ever did then I would say DO NOT dine-in. I think I noticed that take-out orders were taking a priority over the dine-in guests. It's sad that the service was so deplorable because the pizza itself really was delicious.

Food and service were enjoyable until the bill came. We try to patronize local establishments, but this was a first.. automatic fee added to bill for credit card use. We were never asked nor informed of this type of sneaky practice.This will be our last visit to this restaurant.

We went during off hours, 2:30pm, to try out their wood fired pizza. My wife and I love wood fired pizza! This was our first time at TCO. We saw a piece on it on TV about it and thought it sounded great. The Community Oven in Hampton NH was a 40 minute drive for us and we got there hungry. We ordered a large pizza with sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms on half of it. We like a pizza well done but usually never order one that way until we know how a place cooks. The pizza we got was way past well done, dry even and burnt in parts. You only get one shot at a first impression and we even told our server this was our first time to The Community Oven. We were not impressed. I find it difficult if not next to impossible to get a good pizza in New England and after the bit we saw on TV we just knew TCO was going to be our new pizza heaven, boy were we wrong. Our server that day was great and tipped in kind. We would never punish a server for the kitchen's shortcomings. Our punishment other than this review will be that we never go back, I can get burnt pizza anyplace. Like I stated earlier in this review, they only get one chance to make a first impression and the Community Oven in Hampton NH literally left a bad taste in our mouths.
