Zesto’s Deli & Pizzeria
$ | (508) 747-4400 | WEBSITE
Zesto’s modest counter service only has a simple deli case and a single pizza oven. It looks unassuming, but this Plymouth spot with just eight tables is deceptively satisfying. The sandwiches are the main attraction, and the good news is: You get generous portions. But here, those classic subs—typically straightforward elsewhere—take on careful preparation. It’s not just assembly.
Depending on your choice, you might find the perfectly chopped chicken in the Chicken Salad Sub, the Cuban layered with precision, or the right balance of seasoning and mayo. Start with a sub (around $12), then appreciate the owner’s dedication like his willingness to remake a dish to ensure your happiness.
