First time trying Rendevous tonight with my Son. Amazing! The kid at 3/4 for a large pizza before we got back to Oxford. Saw the review on Barstool and had to go. Better than Pepe’s and more. Friendly Staff. Thanks. We will be back soon.

Daughter and I went yesterday on the way back to Boston but we timed it poorly so the pie was like warm. Totally our fault. It was so good I had to go back on the way home to PA today. Got it right out of the oven. Owner was so great! Wish him the very best with his upcoming surgery. Can’t wait to come back next time on the way to and from Boston. Probably the best pie I have ever had.

Firs time ordering from here. Ordered because Meriden raved how good it was. Ordered on the phone and had to wait over 2 hours for pick up. Was it worth the wait? No. Sauce & cheese has good flavor. There is not nearly enough cheese you get no cheese pull. The dough is what I have the problem with. It was a unanimous vote from 4 adults that the dough is almost identical to baking a frozen pizza. We ordered 2 pizzas and between 4 adults we didn’t even get 1/2 way through one. Everyone stopped eating. Dense dry and really hard dough & crust.

Amazing little hole in the wall pizza place. Some of the best you can get in CT. Even better than the big three in New Haven in my opinion.

Amazing pizza! All these 1 star reviews are people who did not plan ahead. They have one man who makes unbelievable pizza. He could scale up his operations but that would take away from quality. So before driving 1 hour to the place to be disappointed CALL AHEAD!! Don’t be stupid.

This place is great. We saw the review from Dave Portnoy where he rated it a 9.1. It’s exactly like what he said: The owner is super busy and doesn’t look up ? you have to call Waaayy ahead of time to order your pie. We called at 1p to order at 7:30 since we were driving from NH back to NY. The phone was busy for about 20 minutes. We were one of the lucky ones to get a pie :) It was saucy, well done and the cheese is delicious. 10/10

It’s alright, not worth the hype. It’s good pizza though
Drove over an hour to finally try this place and it was such a massive disappointment. Pulled up and the place looked closed, walked up far enough to see the open sign and was relieved. However upon entering the establishment you see a lot of handwritten notes plastered on the walls, one of which states "could have very long waits, best to call ahead". While that is good information, I feel having it written on a peice of paper taped to the wall is the worse place as people are there at that point so having something notated on the website for first time visitors would be greatly helpful. Now this was approximately 4:15 in the afternoon and to be honest, with the fact that there was only one group in the dining area who had 4 boxed up pizzas and no one entering and leaving with pick up, it came as quite the dreaded surprise that there was a minimum 2 hour wait for 1 pizza. After figuring we wouldn't eat until after 6 at this point and still had an hour and a half drive home we decided against eating here. I can't say we would return as there was a family that came in right after our arrival and was told it would be a one hour wait. Now I can't imagine a place that would have had as many good reviews as this one wouldn't be able to make more than 1 pizza an hour, it's also unbelievable how two different guest are told that drastic of a time difference, when they arrived within seconds of each other and the first arrival was given a longer time than the second arrival.
Due to the massive disappointment and wait here at Little Rendezvous we searched around on google and found a great reviewd pizza place only 16 minutes away called Fuoco (they had a full parking lot, full dining area and a ton of people coming and going with take out orders) we arrived, parked, sat, ordered, received and was able to exit the establishment all within a 45 minute period (Now that is impeccable service)

Have not yet had them yet, struck out a couple times, went in the middle of the afternoon, walked in no one greeted us and no signage on how to order, no one was upfront and the restaurant was dead, walked to the back and was informed a minimum 2 hour wait since we did not call, I can understand a long a wait for amazing pizza but a little Organization goes a long way, there are plenty of amazing pizza places in this state without the attitude of we don't need you and customers are pests.

This place is worth the wait! Best pizza ever! Recommend either being at the door when they open or calling right as they open to place an order. We were first in line at the door and waited maybe 15 minutes for our pie. We drove an hour and half to get there and it was worth it!
