“I’m a regular here because I love it! The environment, the food and drinks, and the staff make this place a gem in Middletown. I recently had a small engagement celebration with friends where we also tied in a surprise pregnancy announcement and the restaurant was super helpful in my planning. I recommend Sicily to anyone!“

“Great seating and atmosphere with an expansive selection of both food and drinks. Open wall connecting it to Gyro Love on the right side as well. Very good service and reasonable pricing. Single slices are amazing with bar because chicken and the cheese pizza slices being my favorite.“

“Great food. Excellent service. Our “go to” for pizza, subs and more! Great wine selection with a full bar!!“

“The Brussels sprouts absolutely stole the show—rich with cheese and brown butter, they were perfection. While the pizza’s flavor and cheese were spot-on, the execution fell short. It could have used more time in the oven, as it lacked structure and tended to collapse forward with each bite. Delicious taste, but the texture left me wanting more.

“First time trying today. wonderful crust and the sauce is very good. Also has great staff. Highly recommend!“

“I can’t say enough about Tommy’s Pizza Palace Vasili’s Greek Everything salad dressing!! I first came upon it at a craft show at Wadsworth mansion! It’s so delicious that it has become my mission to drive from Stamford to Middletown to pick it up! I grabbed two bottles on 8/17 and made the mistake of sharing with my family so I have to go back this week for more! I can’t wait for it to hit a local store near me! If it doesn’t I will absolutely continue to make the trip! Try it - you will not be disappointed! Thank you to everyone at Tommy’s Pizza palace - all of your food is amazing!!“

“First time trying Rendevous tonight with my Son. Amazing! The kid at 3/4 for a large pizza before we got back to Oxford. Saw the review on Barstool and had to go. Better than Pepe’s and more. Friendly Staff. Thanks. We will be back soon.“

“All of their food is excellent! From subs to pizza to catering. I ordered a tray of chicken piccata for a party and it was the best I ever had. Friendly customer service.“

“Moodus DaVinci - Okay, as if I haven't spammed the internet enough already about this place, I HAVE to post about my wrap. I got the Chipotle Steak wrap. It was a decent size portion. I saved half for lunch today. The best part? it was JUST as delicious upon reheat as it was last night!!! it wasn't soggy. It did not fall apart. Most importantly, it was so so good!!! There's nothing I would have added or taken away. I can't wait to get it again! Since I haven't left a review on this page specifically yet, I'll add that the wings here are phenomenal!! There's many kinds but garlic parm is my fav. So, if you're looking for a good wing spot in this neck of the woods - look no further!“

“Can’t even believe how Abe from this restaurant spoke to me! I ordered a pizza for my kids and it came without sauce and when I called to explain, it was nothing but RUDENESS! He had the audacity to tell me I had to apologize to him and his counter girl before he would replace. He told me he didn’t care if he lost a customer, I had no idea who he was. He hung up on me and when I called back and asked for the owner to explain he started yelling and had his employees in the background yelling he was the boss and I had no idea who I was talkin to and I should find out before talking to him and hung up on me again! I called the Milford location and asked who the owner was, his name is OZ and he sounded like this was certainly not the 1st time he had a complaint. He apologized over and over but honestly I cannot believe the things he said! SMH worst customer service EVER GHETTO!!!!!“

“Been going to Freddy’s forever! Haven’t found any other place that will beat the taste of Freddy’s original Greek taste since Freddy worked at the original ABC Pizza when we were in high school! Still the best! I have to drive a few miles but it’s always worth it!“

“Such great food especially for the price. Everytime we order we can not believe our portions and how amazing it all tastes! We try something new almost every order. This is a hidden gem in town and more people need to check it out!“

“love this place. excellent food. ordered gnocci with sauteed zucchini and onions in red sauce, and side of sausage. it is out of this world good.“

“Great restaurant and great staff!!“

“We've been going to this place for more than 10 years. When ever we want good pizza, this is the place. We always get the plain thin crust (its incredible!!!).
This time we ordered something more adventurous, and got Tri colore pizza. It was really good , but not for the people who dont like spinach. It had too much for my personal taste. Their stake and cheese sandwich is soo awesome.
Do try it once. I guarantee, you'll be back.“

“very family oriented and great food!cant wait to go back thanks again guys !😁“

“We are on vacation and wanted pizza. I looked at the reviews and figured it must be good. We ordered manure tutto pizza. Amazing!!

Highly recommend!!!“

“Such good food!! My son and I really enjoyed our pizza! He got pepperoni, and my tastebuds were immensely pleased to have the flavors of the Buffalo chicken AND Mac and cheese pizza dancing around. Absolutely delicious mixture.“

“Sfogliatelle! They offer it frozen! Get it, pop it in your air fryer until golden brown and enjoy feeling like you are in heaven. It’s filled fully with great quality cheese and orange peel. It’s frozen so you can keep it on hand and feel free to lie to your friends that you made it. Best enjoyed alone with a cup of coffee on a quiet morning.“

“Ravioli was very good. Homemade Tasty sauce but I do like a little more pepper in my sauce“

“Today we visited Fabian.s.pizza at Portland Connecticut. Amazing food, yummy & delicious. Great menus, food hand made and fresh, kids friendly! Thank you very much for your hospitality!“

“Had a wonderful experience at Pineloft! The food was delicious and freshly made — absolutely loved their Chicken Pesto Pizza, packed with flavor. Their salads are huge, come with a tasty garlic bread on the side, and are definitely worth the price. The service was friendly. The live music on Thursdays added such a great vibe to the place — perfect for a relaxed night out. Definitely coming back!“

“5 Stars – A True Hidden Gem!
Village Pizza Restaurant is everything you want in a local pizza spot—warm, welcoming, and consistently delicious. The crust is perfectly crisp, the toppings are fresh and generous, and the sauce has that homemade flavor that sets it apart. Their House Special is a must-try, and even the simple cheese pizza is amazing. Friendly service and great prices make this place a neighborhood favorite. Highly recommended! 🍕“

“Food was very good! Garlic knots were delicious!“

“Great pizza, great location and the nicest people you’ll ever meet!“

“The food was good, what you would expect from a pizza place, I gave them a four because we decided to order milkshakes, and the milkshakes didn't taste very well, and they had no thickness to them.

The service was exceptional, but when we told the guy behind the counter that we didn't like the milkshakes, he made no comment at all.“

“I’m writing this while eating my pizza. I ordered the shrimp casino pizza. The pizza itself tasted amazing but they forgot the shrimp. I told the worker up front and he offered to make me a whole new pizza while I eat the one I have right now!!! 10/10“
