Gem City Pizzeria
A Quincy institution that has been around for decades, Gem City Pizzeria is a favorite of the locals. In addition to pizza and other Italian dishes, the menu also offers Mexican specialties. If you go on the weekend, be prepared to wait for a table. Carry-out and delivery are also offered, however.
Downtown Quincy is where many locally-owned restaurants are. Most of the restaurant chains have a location on Broadway Street, the main drag that cuts straight through the middle of the city.

Come to this local landmark to taste one of their unique loose meat ground beef sandwiches, a.k.a. Maid-Rites. This is the very first Maid-Rite in the franchise, and it is a great place for a cheap meal.
