Essex Pizza on Western Avenue operates as a full-service pizzeria with a broad menu spanning conventional and specialty pies. The shop offers house favorites like Hawaiian Pizza and Mediterranean Pizza alongside gourmet options—Bianco, Greek, and Margarita varieties appear alongside less common choices like Cordon Blue and Kabob Pizza. They also prepare Brazilian-style pizzas, including a Chicken Delight with catupiry and a Portuguese version with ham and peas. Beyond pizza, the kitchen handles calzones (spinach and feta among them), grinders, pasta dishes served with garlic bread and salad, and a dessert pizza lineup featuring chocolate, coconut, and fruit combinations. The operation has been part of the Essex community for years and accepts online orders for pickup.
