After hearing great things and seeing positive reviews of how they handle gluten and dairy free pizzas, we decided to give it a try. Even though we have very few choices of trustworthy restaurants in the area, I will not be returning here. The prices are outrageous…and I’m not even speaking of the extensive upcharges for gluten and dairy free options. $50 for 2 pepperoni pizzas (one gf/df)?! Absurd. Way too many pepperonis. Waitress did her minimal job and talked me out of...read full review
Good Old Days Pizza serves the best La La Land Pizza with pepperoni. I strongly recommend it.
The square pizza was pretty fantastic. Our server was super knowledgable and friendly. I don't really get the name "Good Old Days", but I'm glad I tried it. As long they keep making pizza like this 10 minutes from my house, I won't be driving all the way to New Haven. It's really good.

Good Old Days Pizza & Cocktail Den offers a selection of round and square Detroit-style pies that are a must-try. Their craft beer and cocktail list is great, with expertly crafted drinks. The gluten-free Detroit-style pizza crust is as good as the regular one. The French Onion pizza is a favorite among customers. The service is friendly, and the ambiance feels like eating homemade pizza in a cozy basement with friends. This top pizza place in Connecticut consistently serves delicious food.
Customers praise the crispy and flavorful pizza, though some feel they have had better elsewhere. The atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor, is described as cozy and the staff as friendly and attentive. The restaurant offers a unique salad and good drinks, including the Allagash white, that pair well with the pizza. While some find the spicy pizza not spicy enough and a bit sweet, the crust is generally well-received. Recent reviews highlight top-tier ingredients like homemade red sauce, perfectly charred pepperoni, tasty roasted garlic, and whipped ricotta. However, the crust has been described as more like a cracker than traditional pizza dough—crispy and lacking character outside the crunch. Despite this, if someone were local, it would be a regular spot, especially for the exceptional chocolate chip cookies that are as large as dinner plates and perfect with a stout. The warm, hospitable atmosphere makes customers want to stay, and the pizza is made with skillful, thoughtfully chosen ingredients. Although they don't take reservations, the wait is considered well worth it for the consistent, amazing pizza and friendly staff.
