“I honestly am ashamed to say that I’ve lived in East Haven for 22 years and have never had Tollis pizza. Some friends and I were getting together and we were talking about restaurants to go to, and I had mentioned that I had never tried Tollis. We decided to give it a go. And I have never been happier with a decision ever! We had the white clam pizza, we had the Amalfi pizza. And I couldn’t decide which was my favorite. My friends had the Bolognese sauce, which the waitress brought a little bowl so they could try it with some bread before they ordered their entrée! Nice touch! It was fantastic! Our waitress was super attentive, very friendly, we were near where they were making the pizzas and it was fun to watch. An all-around great experience highly highly recommend.!!!!!“

“This is by far the highest quality food in west haven. I bet even with 30 miles. The owners are fabulous and the food is amazing. Great outdoor entertainment during the season Not only do I love to have a great sit down meal the cater all our family’s gatherings. When a family member was down and out Linda the owner delivered the food personally and made sure we had the whole experience even though we couldn’t make it there she brought the restaurant to us. Amazing people and food. What’s worse than going out to dinner and still being hungry…WELL NOT HAPPENING HERE.

I joke”I don’t go to Biaggetti’s for the food, I go for the leftovers! You will leave more than Thanksgiving stuffed with plenty of leftovers!!“

The drinks NEVER disappoint and the service is amazing! I am a bit picky, we had a server once, Dante, who was very kind and patient with my ridiculous needs. A few weeks later, we returned and he remembered all of my allergies and what I didnt like from pur last visit. Needless to say we ask for Dante every time we go in. He's outgoing, funny and super attentive. Ask for him by name! However, I'm sure all the other servers are great! We had a server named Danielle once and she was awesome too.
Because of the great service we have always recieved from Dante, I've even booked my corporate Holiday parties here.

Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!“
