Whether you’re fueling up for a trip to Acadia in your new Hyundai or looking for a post-game meal after a night at the Cross Insurance Center, Bangor’s pizza scene has never been better. From New York-style thin crust to unique local creations, here is the definitive list of where to find the best slice in the Queen City.

1. Mason’s Brewing Company (The Crowd Favorite)

Located just across the river in Brewer, Mason’s has solidified its reputation as the “gold standard” for upscale pizza in the area.

• The Style: Artisan, wood-fired thin crust with creative, high-quality toppings.

• Must-Try: The “Ghost” pizza if you like heat, or their rotating seasonal specials.

• Why it’s a top pick: The combination of a crispy, charred crust and a stunning riverfront view makes this the ultimate “destination” pizza spot.

2. Urban Pizza (The New Contender)

After a brief hiatus, Urban Pizza on Main Street has returned with a revamped concept that is taking Bangor by storm.

• The Style: They specialize in variety—offering New York-style, South Shore Bar Pizza, and a thick, buttery Detroit-style deep dish.

• Pro Tip: Check out their “Slice Bar” if you’re on the move and want to try multiple styles in one visit.

3. Fairmount Market (The Local Legend)

If you ask a Bangor native where the “best bang for your buck” is, they’ll point you to this neighborhood corner market on Hammond Street.

• The Style: Classic, heavy-on-the-toppings deli pizza.

• Must-Try: The Super Deluxe. It’s loaded with fresh ingredients and has a substantial, chewy crust that locals swear by.

• Pro Tip: Always ask for it “well done” for that perfect extra-crispy bottom.

4. Jason’s NY Style Pizza (The Consistency King)

With multiple locations across Bangor and Brewer, Jason’s is the go-to for those who crave a foldable, authentic New York slice.

• Why it’s a top pick: It’s reliable, fast, and stays true to the 1997 family recipe that started it all.

5. Angelo’s Pizzeria (The Neighborhood Gem)

Located right around the corner from the famous Stephen King house, Angelo’s offers a nostalgic, “New England Greek-style” vibe.

• The Style: A thicker, oil-brushed crust that is almost fried on the edges—classic Maine comfort food.

• Why it’s a top pick: It’s the best place for those who love a “house of pizza” style crust with plenty of cheese.
