The Fantastic Pizza (yes, with orange Fanta and all) This pizza isn’t for everyone... it’s for the bold-hearted. Yes, the sauce is sweet — it’s made with orange Fanta (that’s why I call it The Fantastic Pizza). But if you know what you’re getting into, it’s absolutely spectacular. It’s not your classic Italian pizza — it’s something unique, unforgettable. I’ve seen people travel all the way from Michigan to Massachusetts just to have it again. It’s sweet, intense, addictive. A mix of nostalgia, sugar, and oven-baked magic that stays with your soul. This isn’t mid. It’s legendary.

gave 1 star to the atmosphere. I've never been there, and I can't say.. service is 3 because my service at the other store was less than subpar. food is awesome. service here is amazing. due to circumstances.. closed on Tuesday. my issue was fixed, and some what overboard if im being honest. have been and will stay a customer.

Hands down, it is the best pizza I have ever had! When I came to Lowell to meet my business partner for a meeting, he knew I needed to have Esprose pizza ready to go for lunch. Keep up the great work and great food.

Good pizza for its price point, and compared to what's mostly around the area, even at a higher price. Don't compare to pizza twice as expensive of course, but the crust has a good texture, and is nice and doughy. Just not being pan pizza alone sets it above a lot of what's in the area. Sauce is good, especially if you like it on the sweeter side.

The pizza is fantastic! This place is iconic to Lowell. The sauce is sweet. The crust i perfectly cooked and flavorful. It's definitely a pizza joint though.
