Delicious. Great staff. Cozy fireplace. Excellent wings and pizza. Nicely spaced out dining room. Would definitely recommend.

Our intention was to get ice cream at Wentworths when we drove by Donato's. Thinking of having just a quick slice each, we gobbled up this wonderful new haven style pie (with no tang). Too bad we don't live anywhere close to this gem

I just had a book launch party for my recently published children’s book about hearing loss awareness. Needless to say it was a special event for me and I wanted everything to be perfect. I’m so glad Donato’s was able to cater it. The food was great- so many different kinds of pizza. My guests loved it. Highly recommend for any party or special event.

While we have been here many times for pizza, paninis and other entree food in the display case, it is the stuffed breads that made me want to write a review. I ordered 5 different stuffed breads for a party I was having and they were great. I was told that I could basically order anything I wanted in the breads. I ordered a fresh mozz, tomato and basil, spinach, broccoli, sausage and pepper, and buffalo chicken. They were wonderful. There is great outside seating, a drive through window, and even some fabulous gelatos. They don't serve alcohol but you are welcome to BYOB. I'd recommend this place!!!

Small Pepperoni apizza for lunch. Thin dough but still soft nd delicious great sauce too. Coal fire brick oven. Look for the red Ferrari out front ?

I just finished a delicious dinner at Donato’s and wanted to share! The staff was super welcoming as I came in and very attentive to food restrictions that I have. I cannot say enough good things about their food and wanted to leave some love. Their fish salad is honestly one of my favorite things to order (you should totally get some!) but tonight I branched out and enjoyed a delicious dish with chicken and broccoli rabe - the preparation was just perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner. I started coming to Donato’s when they were a pizza truck and enjoyed their vast array of pizzas, brussel sprouts remains my fave, but I’m always so pleased by what they have to offer. I can’t wait for a crab cake next time or maybe a rice ball...who knows, but I know it will be delish!

Once again Donato’s hits it out of the park! Pasta Fagoli like my grandma would make! Grinders packed with goodness! Have eaten here many times. A++++! Tonight was great with easy pick up at the drive thru! Highly recommend Donato’s!

Absolutely delicious. I chose from the plentiful hot bar to take home dinner. The chicken picatta was amazing as was the broccoli rabe and sausage bread. And you must have the garlic knots. Omg. I will be a regular for sure !!!!! Thank you and welcome to Hamden ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Mangia
Vinny has a great place and makes one heck of a pie genuine wood fired

I have just eaten some of the best Buffalo wings and breaded chicken cutlets I have ever had! Dine in or pick up food from the window, never getting out of your car! I ordered ahead, and when I picked it up it was piping hot, wonderfully packaged and served with a smile (mask on, but I could tell!). I would highly recommend Donatos, their menu is varied - pizza to paninis and subs, soup, desserts and daily specials that are amazing! Conveniently located between Cheshire and Hamden on Whitney Avenue, pick up lunch or dinner on the way home and cook some other night! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to come back!

Love love love their pizza! Their food is excellent, whether it’s deli or salad or soup! Service is excellent, they are not fancy, but their spot is perfect for a date evening with no frills.

Very friendly, almost hip decor, order at the counter, no alcohol, loud dining are when full (floor tiled and tv going) Pizza crust is excellent, thin and crispy, next time I’ll order extra sauce and it’ll be better, mushrooms were canned and broccoli looks like it may be frozen but not sure
