Short & Main

First time visiting Cape Ann (Gloucester MA). Everyone recommended going here, and they were right!
Such a great place for dinner! Food, service, atmosphere, all were amazing. Definitely worth a visit, you won’t regret it.

For the low low price of $22 plus tax, you can get one of the best pizzas on the north shore. Beautifully done 13 inch pizza with sparse toppings of bacon and caramelized onions over a thin blanket of sauce, you get a taste of char that overpowers every bite. And the kicker... no cheese! Just how everyone likes their pizza. Bless short and main for their immaculate service, inviting atmosphere and a quality you really can't get anywhere else.

What a great experience for our anniversary dinner. Great hospitality from the host/manager and the bartenders. The wine selection was really eclectic & fun, the oysters were super fresh, and the pizza & pasta were delicious. Would highly recommend!

Great drinks and great food, trendy place w cool atmosphere. Highly recommend

Outstanding experience! This a cute little spot which feels somehow tucked away. The food is really superb. Loved the cocktails and the apt descriptions of the oysters. The pizzas cooked in the on display wood fire oven were also a hit, we highly reccomend getting somethings with the tomato sauce base. Also a sleeper? The homemade hot sauce. Service was great, never overbearing but never too far, will certainly be back again.

I have been here many times for dates, birthdays, events, and had a great experience every time. This restaurant puts emphasis on high quality ingredients, the atmosphere always feels relaxed, and the servers and bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t wait to go back.

Amazing experience, servers were always attentive; handeling every allergy and request respectively.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Went for brunch. I don't normally order avocado toast, but loved the beets and seasonings, made it worth it. The pizza was also very good. Margarita is my go to.

Delicious pizza, great drinks selection, and top notch service. Couldn’t have asked for more. Also love their vaccination policy indoors! Will be back soon.

Great spot. They open at 5pm and apparently turn on the heat at the same time. Bring a jacket to wear indoors as the place is freezing.

That said, once you warm up feel free to enjoy $1 oysters from 5-6 and a small menu of 6-8 apps, 2 salads, and 8-10 slightly varied pizzas.

The cocktail menu is pretty on point, and the whole food menu is good albeit, small and narrow.

Great food and wine. Attentive wait staff. Nice ambiance including fire place. Reasonable prices.

Love this place! Wood-fire pizza is delicious, fresh salads and great cocktails, wine selection. Casual, elegant atmosphere perfect for a date or family meal. Will be back! Thank you,

BEST RESTAURANT. I’ve gone here several times over the last few years and I continue to believe this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten pizza in Naples, Italy and I’ve gone to all the best pizza places in NYC. Short and Main pizza is the best! Also- everything else I’ve had on the menu has also been great. The ingredients seem to be of high quality and the execution is 👌👌👌. YUM 😍

Great pizza! No choice of dessert, but the lemon cake was nice.

Lovely place for a quiet meal in downtown Gloucester. Creative pizzas and other Italian standards are sure to be a hit with any crew. Don't forget to check out the wine list!

I don't know why I don't see this restaurant more on some of them. Best pizzas in the North shore. This has to be one of the most delicious pies and New England. They always have fresh oysters and the seasonal dishes are also to die for.

Love everything here. Food is delicious and service is great.

Short and Main never disappoints. Cocktails are over the top creative, balanced and as good as any NYC speakeasy I’ve been to (I’m a native so have been to quite a few). Beyond the amazing cocktails, the vibe is friendly and fun. Nice, easy menu to enjoy and a staff to love. Don’t miss it.

The wood oven is awesome when you first walk in. Atmosphere is dim and quite. The wood fire pizza was exactly what I was looking for garlicy and delicious. Fairly expensive however.

I had an excellent meal here tonight. Sat at the oyster bar and got to watch the talented chefs create oysters, olives, meatballs and pizza. All were incredible. Great service too. I can’t wait to return!
