“Love this place, perfect lunch spot while working on the road. The steak sandwich.It is quite different from most places. This is not shaved steak, but cut very thinly. They roast your own peppers, which are excellent. There veal cutlet is also very good. They offer hot plates throughout the week that changes every day. It's a very authentic italian deli“

“The bolognese was the best! The service was wonderful also. Had a lovely time.“

“I went back to CT after being gone for about 20 years and, having told my family how good Connecticut pizza was, I took them to Pietro's on a cold March afternoon. They all said this was some of the best pizza they had ever had, absolutely loved the garlic knots, and they all tried to steal my ham grinder. It was the best food we had that trip and we often talk about it. The staff was also very friendly. Thanks Pietro's.“

“Thus far the best breakfast joint I have experienced in Hartford County. Great food, friendly service, huge portions, reasonable prices and zero pretentiousness. The Italian bread they serve you, as opposed to the lame little bread triangles most other places offer, hands down seals the deal. Just remember to bring cash.“

“Eclectic menu. While not extensive, there is variety with daily specials. We started with the dumplings and chili with beans. Dumplings and sauce for dipping quite flavorful in the best way. The chili was not too hot, and a hot sauce offered we we wanted more heat. The pasta and red was plentiful and delicious.“

“I live in west haven which is about a 40 mile drive, and this place never disappoints and we frequent often! Best sandwich’s in the state hands down!“

“We ordered pizza for 150 people in our office.... they made 40 pizzas, delivered them on time, great NY style to the pizza, we also ordered a variety of grinders and those were amazing, everyone really loved them, thank you to the team that made such a huge order happen and delivered such excellent quality.“

“My 1st time trying their steak and cheese grinder and it was the bomb!! Now I've had hiccups with past orders. Overall I mess with Mr. Pizza✌“

“Steak Quesadillas is amazing it also comes with fries and the sour cream and salsa. It really was one of the best quesadillas I have ever had. They are open 7 days a week. 10 am to 10 pm . 5/5/2025 I ordered 2 large pizzas, amazing. I only found a handful of places in CT that I will eat the pizza. This place is in my top 5 for sure. Great job 😊“
