"Neat and tidy and packed well enough so that even when the crust is breached it doesn't ooze, Hartley's pork pie has an historic taste: traditional lard crust (the best!), ground pork and gravy. It is not huge, but it is hugely satisfying."
Michael Stern
"Bakery pizza often is sold (and eaten) at room temperature. Hartley's regularly heats up slices in the oven so customers can fully enjoy the crisp crust and full, juicy goodness of spicy ground chorizo sausage."
Michael Stern
"As a general rule, I try not to post pictures of a half-eaten meal. As this image of a pork pie demonstrates, it is not the kind of beauty shot that traditional food journalism demands. But what other way can I show just how packed the pie is with meat?"
Michael Stern
"The counter at Hartley's. At the right, coming from the kitchen, is Angelo, ringmaster of the meat pie show."
Michael Stern
"Hartley's is the oldest continuously operating food service business in Fall River. For those of us seeking regional food with real character, it is a bonanza."
