“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Called Mei's tonight for a take-out order before 8 pm. Whomever answered the phone wasn't custom service oriented, or very friendly. Don't get me wrong, that place has good food. I decided to cancel my order immediately so they wouldn't waste their food, and we ordered from Mr.Pan's. The food is comparable, and the people are very friendly on the phone. I spent decades in sales and customers service. Just not a great experience. Mr. Pan's....very solid chinese food. Exceptional Wonton soup. Very friendly people!“

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

“Food is great and have ordered many times but their delivery driver driving blue Honda civic has almost rear ended me twice…. Once about a month ago after I just picked food up from them almost hit me in my Honda and again today I hate to have to leave this review but is really unsafe and has been inch from hitting me twice…“

“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.“

“Me and my girlfriend decided to try a Johnnys for the first time this evening and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing and the price was great. If you’re looking for an affordable meal with a great atmosphere look no further. 11/10“

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

“This is our favorite pizza spot. We drove over an hour to get there for our daughters birthday dinner (their pick) and had the best dinner! (Pizza, spaghetti, fish & chips) Food was cooked perfectly. They even gave both girls a birthday present before we left (a drink and sunglasses) it absolutely made their night! The service was fast friendly and attentive.“

“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!“

“We wanted a nice steak dinner for two. So we decided to eat here. Where we sat in front of the restaurant was a bit loud so we couldn’t really chat but overall the service and waiter we had was excellent and very attentive. Hubby ordered raw clams on ice which was divine. Then for our entree We ordered the surf and turf for two. Which included 32 oz tomahawk steak with two lobster tails. We substituted the asparagus and potato puree for loaded baked potato with butter sour cream bacon (was so fresh) and cheese. Also with a side of lobster Mac and cheese was to die for. Definitely great food and vibes. It was pricey but worth it. Overall we spent $300 with no alcoholic beverages“

“I only went into the Hard Rock retail store this time. Carol L was working that day. She was amazing! When I walked in she said hello and mentioned all the items that were on sale. A great 50% off sale I might add.
She was not pushy at all which was a relief.
I wasn't sure what sweatshirt I wanted and she gave me her honest opinion and I actually liked her choice better. I ended up buying more then expected as we were just chatting away.
The store looked great!“

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