Just a reminder that Portsmouth's awesome locally owned pizza shops have very generously offered 5% of what they take in today to support construction of a skate park at Island Park playground. Looking for lunch or dinner? Check out your options.

Carmella's 683-0880 Awesome salads too, and their four-cheese garlic bread is to die for.

North End 683-6633 Great grinders if you're looking for a lunch option. We've been devoted customers since back when they were next to the Cumby Farm.

Pizza Hollywood 682-9000 Quick delivery, especially if you're up here in the north end of town.

Steve's Famous 683-1505 Great option for lunch for anyone around Town Hall (hint, hint)

West Main Pizza 683-1498 The veggie special here is truly amazing. Good place to kick back for dinner.

Chase Pizza & Deli 683-5800 Great specialty pizzas and a very wide assortment of salads, grilled sandwiches and subs (including an excellent Portuguese Cacoula) as well as huge calzones.

Rocco's 682-1777 Great option for sit-down and those on the southern end of town. Why not try them for dinner.

Full disclosure: I live in Island Park and Jack would love to have a skate park.
