Giuseppe’s Show Time Pizzeria

312 Daniel Webster Hwy, Meredith, 03253, NH

There’s a reason the line snakes out the door on summer weekends. Located in an outdoor mall and sporting red-and-white tablecloths, this family ristorante looks like Italian by way of Epcot Center, but the food is anything but. The pastas are authentically prepared versions of Italian favorites — puttanesca, carbonara, tortellini with cream sauce — with fresh herbs that jump off the fork. The pizza menu is equally traditional, eschewing gimmicky gourmet recipes to serve enormous pies groaning under the weight of their toppings. The high-energy wait staff ensures a family-friendly atmosphere, with live entertainment most nights in summer; the eatery also delivers to area hotels.
