50 Best Pizza Restaurants near East Windsor

“Initially visited about 10 years ago. Hadn’t been back for. O particular reason. Recently decided to go back and we’ve been going there every couple of weeks since. Prices are very good and the food is excellent. Jason does a great job. Highly recommend.“

“I ordered a Tiramisu Martini… not on the menu. Their Bartender, Rob looked up the recipe and made it for me… Perfection! Came back and he remembered my order precisely… right down to the exact Martini!!! This guy is the real deal and the food is stellar! Props to Rob for his amazing customer service and Roberto’s for their scrumptious food.“

“Excellent food, very consistent“

“Awesome food! Had the steak and cheese .. Omg!! Wonderful! Hot! Also got the Eggplant grinder .. great sauce, great bread, grinder!!! Will definitely order again and again!“

“Nice place with good food and music“

“We visited Mario’s for the first time on Friday Feb 27th after seeing a Facebook ad for their fish and chips dinner. We were beyond surprised and very pleased with the entire experience. The fish and chips was the best we have had, the waitress was very attentive and friendly. Although the place is small it was super busy with lots of take out orders but that didn’t affect the dining room orders coming out in a timely fashion. We most definitely will be visiting again real soon to see what other delicious choices they have on their menu. Great job Mario see you again soon.“

“Such great food, great service!!“

“Everything on the menu is good. Nothing is half assed. Really good food all around/ amazing pizza/ grinders. I’m very picky about my parm grinders and everything here is spot on.“

“The only pizza we'll eat. family members in MA sometimes as me to grab them a pie on my way when I visit!“

“The food and people are fantastic here.“

“Season pass holders at six flags. Come from Albany NY. We never make the trip without stopping at Nicky’s!! Delicious food, great prices, and excellent service!! Can’t wait to see you again, this summer!!“

“Since I was a Junior in high school, it's been the best grinder around. I moved out of the area but it's always worth the trip. A ton of meat. Always fresh shredded lettuce. Still the best.“

“Def worth the visit 😇 will return again !“

“We stopped into Cooley’s Kitchen while visiting family in Connecticut, and somehow it already feels like part of “home” for us. 🧡🐾 Jen helped us find a table near the back during dinner rush, which ended up being perfect. Low traffic, quieter, and right by a beautiful sunset. As disabled guests with a power chair, sensory overload can happen fast for us, especially in busy restaurants. Whether intentional or not, both Jen and Aaron seemed incredibly aware of the environment around us. Several times when the sun started shining directly into our eyes, one of them would naturally step into the light while checking on us so we could keep enjoying our cheeseburger grinder without getting overwhelmed. Small thing maybe, but it mattered a lot to us. What stood out most was how human everything felt. Not forced “customer service.” Real care. Jen sat and talked with patrons and you could immediately tell this is a place locals genuinely love. Friends, families, regulars. Everyone seemed comfortable there. They checked in with us based on timing and body language, not because some policy told them to stop by every few minutes. Even the thumbs up from across the room felt personal and warm. We had a chance to talk a little about the restaurant too. Hearing that this was Aaron’s dream and that they’ve been building it together for the last two years honestly made the experience even better. You can feel the passion behind the place. Aaron being a chef and Jen helping build the community side of it makes the whole restaurant feel alive in a way chain restaurants never do. Every time we come to Connecticut, we stop here…usually more than once. Truthfully, places like this are part of why we’ve started looking at Ellington as somewhere we could someday call home, even all the way from Iowa. Good food matters. But being seen as human matters more. Cooley’s Kitchen gave us both. 🧡🐾“

“Our family of three came in on Thursday night, June 4th from Boston. We never had F&P pizza and our wonderful waitress assisted us with order g the 5 pizza special so we can try a lot of flavors. She really made our 2 hour drive worthwhile as we continue our vacation south. The pizzas were fantastic and my daughter was t sure if she wanted the crust on one of the pizza charred to the original standards, so she brought it out mid-cook for a visual check. Now that’s what I call customer service. Thanks for making it special for us. Remember, the food is good, but it’s the customer service makes it an experience!“

“They have the best pizza in town“

“My husband and I have been coming every Thursday to play bingo, and it’s become a bit of a tradition for us. Over time, friends and family have started joining too. The regulars have really formed their own little bingo community, with plenty of teasing and jokes throughout the night. Honestly, if it weren’t for bingo, we probably wouldn’t have even known this place had finally opened!
The bartender (Kim) and the waitress Val as well!!“

“It took a little bit to get the food, but it was worth the wait!“

“We are regulars here, and tonight was another example of why we will continue to frequent this business. We received the wrong order by accident when we picked it up. We called and they IMMEDIATELY rectified it by not making us come out there, but offering and delivering the correct order. We LOVE Buckland Grill and Pizza!!“

“Fantastic food!! Pizza was delicious and the delivery was fast, highly recommend. My new fave pizza spot and my go-to!!“

“Absolutely delicious! I had lunch there with a friend today and the food was great (honestly, some of the best fries I've ever had)! Service was friendly, fast and just generally really great. I'll definitely be back!“

“We have a large family that loves pizza... have sampled pizza all across CT even New Haven. Ellington is hands down the best! that is why our family has been going there for 40+ years. Great pizza... Great People... Please support their business / sample their great pizza and other food...“

“Stopped here on my way from Mass to Bradley (because to hell with expensive airport food, and I like to support local) to grab lunch, and I was not disappointed. Ordered a mini pizza, which at 10" was more than enough for 1. Fresh chicken, bacon and tomatoes, delicious tomato base, overall a very good pizza. I sat at one of the 3 barstools to eat a bit before I headed out, great spot to watch cars/people. Nice little place. Friendly staff.“

“I’ve been here countless times and the food is consistently very good. The servers are always friendly too. Tonight I sat at the bar after a class and ordered grinders for takeout. Absolutely THE best grinders we’ve had in forever. My veggie and cheese grinder was LOADED with veggies! My husband’s grinder had so much nest he could have created 2 more grinders. Thank you Soula and staff. You are all top notch!“

“This place never disappoints! Right down to the honey butter!!!! And those donuts for desert.....SO GOOD!!!! Thank you for a fabulous lunch! I got to walk over on my work break from Path to Progress Healing Center & Coaching, LLC, on such a beautiful day, spend quality time with my daughter and have a GREAT tasting lunch and really great service too! THANK YOU“

“We are from Rhode Island and were in the area to visit Six Flags. Found Marks Restaurant using Google maps for breakfast near me. The food was excellent. The homemade bread was even better. Probably not a common comment, but my view of the kitchen from the register it’s a very clean and neat setup. I’ve worked in foodservice delivery and have always viewed restaurants from back of house which influenced my decision to eat there. I recommend Marks and will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Phenomenal Italian food and amazing service. All three people in my group had different pasta dishes that were all awesome and the desserts were to die for - the peanut butter pie was perfection. Our server was so kind and attentive. Highly recommend!!“

“Wanted to try a new pizza place... Found this place in a fb group with great reviews... Was in the area... 1 hr ride for us. Place is nice, employees were very friendly, cool drinking glasses, & pizza was very yummy. We were impressed with everything. We recommend going here if you want delicious pizza (only thing we had). Give you a 👍“

“They have the best wings and great customer service! Highly recommend!“

“We had been looking for a place for lunch or dinner that was local and not a chain. Been driving by it for years and finally checked it out. The decor is a little dated so if classier atmosphere is what you're looking for go elsewhere. If you want well prepared italien food, larger portions, reasonable prices, friendly, efficient waitstaff and in a warm, family familiar setting....you have arrived!“

“Delicious Astro's Special 🍕 👍“

“They consistently give us great food! One of the local go-tos!“

“just ordered 2 large Italian grinders and they were great. fresh bread lots of meat and didn't have to pay extra for lettuce, tomatoes and peppers !“

“You might not be able to sit down and eat here like most places, but the food is pretty darn good. First time customers and I am beyond impressed. Staff was kind and friendly. I ordered a meatball sub and it was great! It actually had meatballs and not the smooshed up patte cat food stuff. It had a garlic twang to it and it was still fricken awesome. I'm a VERY picky eater and I'm also not one for garlic. I'm not sure how the food is made, if it was the sauce or the meatballs but i will tell you it was delicious nonetheless. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! And for better or worse, they don't salt the French fries either. Even the few flavors of ice cream they had was good (I got the vanilla bean).💕😋 Definitely going back there again.“

“Pizza Mia has excellent food! The owner and staff are so nice and welcoming. I’ve always loved their food for eating in or taking out. Now they serve an excellent breakfast. You must go there for yourself and try it. You won’t be disappointed. Easy parking in the back. Yum!!!!“

“Born and raised in Queens NY for 34 years I did not know what to expect, I spend my life thinking I was living with the best Pizza but honestly, Ann’s Pizza might be better than any Pizza I’ve had,

And the Service is great, people are kind and the food is fresh.“

“Its more of a take out place but has seating. Best food. Best Pizza Salads and subs. Expensive but quality is kept and you'll never get a fresher Salad or tastier pie anywhere around here. Pretty much everything is presented proprer and the taste is exquisite. You can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in his food and his presentation. I Highly recommend. Never a burt piece, uniformity and quality ingredients. I wish they had extended hours but in order for that to happen you have to give them a reason to stay open later. You try it once and you're hooked. Below is a picture of an empty can. I shoukd have taking it 20 -30 minutes before I devoured their grilled chicken salad. Scrumptious with 2 blue cheese dressings. I got a spare cup for the fridge. Go run and get your taste buds ready for some fire Italian pizza shop cuisine. Best in South Windsor. And I love South Windsor Pizza too. The go head to head on the subs.“

“Been there 3 times and every time the pizza was delicious 😋.“

“Best Calzone everrrrrrrr!!!!“

“It's pricey but well worth it. You get tons of food for your order and everything is that home cooked goodness that you've always wanted with the convenience of not having to cook it.

Staff are excellent and takeout is incredibly easy. Only downside is their so popular that trying to get a call in can take a while because the line is almost always busy at peak hours.“

“Can't wait to try the calzone here from Calzone Kev. He said well worth it. See you soon“

“Pizza was fantastic, wrap was also delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“On Saturday, August 16, 2025, my husband and I had the pleasure of eating a late lunch/early dinner at this wonderful restaurant. The service was pleasant and prompt, the decor was beautiful, and the food was delicious! Before our entrees, we split the potato skins appetizer. I really liked the crispy skin. (I don't usually eat all of the skin of potato skins, preferring the filling instead, but I ate all of mine from Zanto's!) The Shrimp Scampi Provençal was one of the best versions of shrimp scampi that I've ever had. My husband raved about his dish of Scallops Massimo. I don't know if we'll ever be in that area of CT again, but if we are, we'll go out of our way to eat at Zanto's. 5/5“

“Food is spectacular The best Italian since I moved to Connecticut Our server was excellent“

“My husband and I have dinner at Lulu's at least twice a week. They have the best drinks, food and staff. The French onion soup is the best in the area (in my opinion.) The wait staff is so friendly and always makes us feel like we're having dinner at a friend's house. We almost always run into old friends there and never feel rushed. They accommodate our "tweaked" meal requests with a smile. Love Lulu's to pieces! 🥰“

“We ordered a larger meat lovers pizza and an order of fries. It was fantastic, cooked to perfection. Everything was hot and fresh. We had a small special request on how to cook the pizza, and they were spot on. Cannot say enough good things about Baco's. Thank-you!!!!“

“I ordered 3 party sized pizzas for delivery the next day. The girl taking the order was very pleasant, as well as the delivery driver. He was also right on scheduled time. Pizza was delicious and hot. Great experience overall. Thank you!!!“

“Great pizza! The service is fast and the staff are very nice. I gave it a 3 for atmosphere only because there is limited seating inside and it is a very plain environment. The place is very clean,just small. I would highly recommend Bella pizza for take-out or dining in!“

“Drove 3 hours to play here because it was on a list of courses that cross state borders, but unfortunately this course had no signage or any information showing the border between CT and MA. The staff was real friendly and the clubhouse was clean. The course was in good shape despite a few traps with hard packed sand. The greens were fast with challenging pin locations. The fairways were in good condition and the rough was just thick enough to be challenging but not impossible to advance the ball. I would highly recommend playing this course.“

“First time there. I now have them on my places to save Google Maps.“
