Carmine's Pizza & Italian Take Out offers an exceptional dining experience with friendly and welcoming staff and phenomenal food. The restaurant serves up delicious slices, pies, and other items at a reasonable price. Gluten-free pizza enthusiasts will be delighted with their new 12" gluten-free New Haven-style pizza, which is highly praised and sets a new standard. Customers praise the consistently great food, good portions, and moderate prices. One reviewer especially enjoyed the "most delicious pizza with great tomato sauce" and the "super thin, soft yet crispy" crust. The restaurant also caters to customers with food allergies, taking special precautions to ensure their safety.
Many customers consider Carmine's a hidden gem, especially noting its location across from a popular ice cream spot. The staff is praised for being friendly and always greeting customers nicely. The pizza is regarded as the best in the area, with sandwiches and paninis also receiving high praise. Visitors often make it a habit to stop here, especially after trips to nearby beaches, and many say it’s the best pizza within Middlesex County, able to stand alongside New Haven's great pizza spots. The food is made fresh, and service is courteous and friendly, even when busy. The restaurant mainly offers takeout, but a few tables are available for outdoor eating. The cheese pizza is described as a classic, with a tasteful sauce and cheese combo, and remains tasty the next day. Other menu items like hot grinders, chicken parm, steak n cheese, eggplant parm, and chicken cutlet are also highly recommended. While minor issues like occasional order mistakes have been noted, the overall consensus remains that Carmine's is a highly recommended spot, especially for those craving authentic New Haven-style pizza. Many customers wish they could get delivery to surrounding towns, but they prefer driving to pick up their orders, finding the experience worth it.
