“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t just another stop. This was a return. Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t just close… it was comfort. So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started. I parked the car. Looked at my old house. And I walked… just like I used to… straight to Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment. The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle. --- 2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest. --- The Atmosphere & Service This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spot—not because it’s fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me. The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming. And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s Pizza Plus. Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you. And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo“

“I ordered Thai by Thai via Door Dash for the first time today. I got the Drunken Noodles. OMG they were wonderful. They got here hot and I'm in Groton. Lots of chicken and veggies and just the right amount of spice. I will definitely order from them again“

“Highly recommended! Food is always amazing! Been going here for a few years.. owner is pleasant, helpful and interacts with his customers. Ordered 4 pizzas and 3 large grinders and not only were they delicious but the owner also brought everything to our vehicle for us! Top notch service!!“

“The organization I work for recently held a private event here for about 50 people and the service we experienced was top-notch. The owners, Cara and Andrew, accommodated (and anticipated) all of our needs and were excellent communicators. The staff on site, Eliza and Joan, were friendly, flexible, resourceful, and extremely conscientious. Thank you for a wonderful event!“

“The atmosphere was so clean and well-maintained. Matt, our server took great care of us and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend the Cajun chicken pasta and the lemon drop drink. The Chile's in Lisbon is the way to go!“

“I have been in the Norwich area for 6 years, but I had Mr. Pan's food for the first time today, after reading good reviews. They did not disappointed. Food was delicious and fresh. The person who took my order was very patience. Going back for sure.“

“Best restaurant in town. Great food, awesome staff, been going here for years and they even catered my wedding. Love Gus’s Pub! P.S. - My daughter has worked here for years and the owners treat their employees very well! As for the person who posted a review below…the check/money were found in a dishwasher bucket, they got swiped up by accident. (But regardless, it never would’ve taken it out of her paycheck, even if it had been stolen.) The customer deleted their post after Gus’s reached out. Sad to see this place being slandered based on a misunderstanding.“

“WE LOVE THEIR PIZZA!!!! BEST SAUCE, BEST CRUST, BEST EVERYTHING!!!!! �“

“My mom loves seafood so we stumbled upon johnnys clam shack. Let me tell you the prices were good. The amount of food you got was good and they had a cute little sitting area. We opted for the to-go and he brought it directly to our car. I would recommend this place over and over again.“

“What a fun and elevated bowling experience! Great food and drinks . Service was lovely ! Very clean ! Highly recommend!“

“My girlfriend and I went to Foxwoods for a day of gaming, went to Hard Rock Cafe. Food was very good . Our sever LaLa was amazing.

My only complaint, totally unrelated to the restaurant is when we went to get our souvenir glass from the store across the hall, I was given the wrong glass.“

“Food and service were top tier! My one critique would be please more onions!!! I ordered french onion soup & later on ordered a side of mushrooms and onions, both of which were severely lacking in the amount of onions which is pretty disappointing because those dishes are centered around onions. Besides my wish for more onions, everything was perfect!“

“Systems went down as soon as we were sat down and the server took our order, They handled it swiftly and steady! Comped our meals and apologized a bunch! Best burgers with steak fries and the goulash was 10/10!“

“Dinner was great until mice were bombarding us, atleast 3 coming out of the booth, going in and out:/ idek what is happening here.“
