“We had a large group today (25 people kids/adults), they were SO accommodating! The service was amazing, and Vincenzo was helpful setting everything up and checking in on us multiple times. We will 100% go back!“

“I had a large dinner party there last night and the food was great and the head waitress and wait staff did an amazing job. It was a wonderful time 😊“

“Had the pleasure of stopping in here a couple different times the past few weeks ordering out. Each time have been lucky enough to see Jojo himself — very warm and welcoming. Food is really great and will be a new regular spot!“

“Love Ballo but really disappointed with how much the menu keeps changing. They charge now for house bread and took off the garlic bread. Got rid of shrimp scampi. Now got rid of chicken francaise which was Amazing there and our go to. Also used to have an amazing cheese and meat platter appetizer and that was removed. Wish some of those would be put back on. With so much change there really isn’t anything appealing to me now. This was our spot for anniversaries, birthdays, and lots of date nights.“

“This is a hidden gem! We're back in Connecticut after many years and were looking for some authentic regional pizza and came upon Asylum Street Pizza. We were greeted immediately and the staff had definitive answers to our questions. We asked for a recommendation and were served with a straight-from-the-oven delicious "the works" pizza. When we're back in the area again, we will definitely stop by for another pizza. Don't miss this one!“

“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 recently tried the Italian Combo at Golden Pizza Restaurant and it absolutely delivered. The sandwich was loaded with fresh deli meats, perfectly sliced cheese, crisp lettuce, and ripe tomatoes, all brought together with just the right amount of oil and seasoning. Every bite had great flavor and balance.

What really stood out was the size. This thing was huge and easily one of the most filling sandwiches I’ve had in a while. You definitely get your money’s worth.

If you’re looking for a classic, no nonsense Italian combo done right, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Our waiter Andrew was the best!!! His service, advice on food and drinks was spot on!! The portions were great and the food was amazing!! Can’t wait to go back up there again!“

“$20 SHEET PIZZAS. Can't beat it. Yummy desserts. Tiramisu is especially yummy. They have carrot cake, cheese cake, canolis, grinders, and pizza. Not sure if they have dinner plates like lasagna. I called in my sheet pizza and grabbed some tiramisu while paying“

“Engine No.6 Pizza Company where do I start! Not only is the pizza addicting but you guys go above and beyond for your customers! Some restaurants you can tell just want to take your money and are annoyed at small request made by customers but Engine 6 is not like this you guys come through for me on more than one occasion and I’m forever grateful. Thank You for being amazing!!“

“Delicious brick oven pizza, crispy crust, fresh toppings, great service! Love the environment, all of their menu is great.“

“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.“

“Tried Voc's for the first time tonight and it was great! Ordered a grilled chicken grinder and pepperoni pizza, both awesome. Quick time for pick up, friendly staff when I went in and delicious food. Be back soon! Thank you.“

“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…“

“Franko's Pizza!
River Edge Coin Laundromat i came here for lunch and dinner This place has been the local for decades my husband's friends who grew up here all love ot and I bought a bit of everything for them to share as a surprise and the huge order did not disappoint and I've been disappointed by the other restaurants in the local area Every Time they go down in quality but frankos is a gem and I order pizzas grinders salads desserts sides the garlic bread onion rings brownies are delightful as well as the belly buster is so interesting and delicious the salads were superb the grinders enormous and fed a crowd 🤗 thank you all for Always Only Improving in Quality ❣️“

“I like everything I have ever ordered from there except the pizza. it's dry, the toppings and cheese separate from the sauce so it's a congealed cheese hunk with dry toppings stuck in it. the crust is too brown and there's no flavor. just bland, tasteless, dry, awful pizza. I've had the taco pizza lol what a joke that was and steak with sausage, dry and a waste of my money. their onion rings are very good, they used to be more fried and less crumbly coating. generosity has dwindled, too. cheeseburger grinder w bacon is good but I don't appreciate the warm lettuce, they don't take modifications or whatever you call that on doordash site ordering occum pizza. owner boy is clueless. I'll still order from here. Moore pizza I just heard is on doordash now :D I order extra sauces because I know some stuff is going to be dry or flavorless but I DON'T GET THEM!! they put ketchup packets on top of the onion rings GROSS so they don't have to give those rings... they piss me off but I'll still order.“

“new menu from Ballo is good. went with skirt steak and it was really good. the potatoes were good as well. tried the olive oil cake for dessert sort of blah. Will was our server--- best part of the night! great service and even been personality !!!“

“We have eaten here many times and have always had a great meal.

The waterfall is iconic and makes your meal more romantic.
This place has a great vibe and a well curated menu.
The food is amazing although some items can be a little pricey.
The service is on point and the meal is well spaced out and not rushed.
If you are at Mohegan and looking for a nice meal, Tuscany is a great choice.“
