Rizzo's Roast Beef and Pizza, 3 Church St Wilmington, MA. 01887


Rizzo's is an extremely clean and modern establishment. But that should be expected from George Rozopoulas, You see before opening Rizzo's Wilmington location in 2013 he had all ready founded the chain with two other locations in Peabody and Salem. Needless to say when it was time to open his Wilmington location, he all ready knew what he was doing.




Bun: This might be the fluffiest bun I have come across. Seriously felt like eating a cloud. Which was aided by the fact that the flavor was as light and subtle as the bun was fluffy. There was some light grilling but it needed a substantial amount more. If this bun had a solid crispy layer it would of been a cloud sent from heaven.  Score: 4

Beef: You can tell that Rizzo's prides them selves on not over-cooking their roast beef! They serve it BRIGHT pink, thinly shaven and melt in your mouth tender. I will say that it was so rare that it bordered on the under-cooked side, so if your the type of person that orders a steak medium well this is not the place for you. The flavor was extremely delicate but when you got an edge you could taste the black pepper they use in their rub. Score: 4


Sauce:
The sauce had a light spice that builds nicely, but not nearly enough was used. There was on the other hand more than enough mayo. Score: 3


Overall:
Rizzo's has definitely put their own stamp on this sandwich. With a little more sauce and grilling this would be an amazing sandwich. As is they are doing better than their neighborhood competition Simard's   Score: 3


Notes:
Love that the super came with a fork for all the beef that topples out of this massive sandwich,
