“Bobby’s Pizza has been a local favorite for over 30 years, known for its consistently excellent thin-crust pizza. As a pizza lover, I can say Bobby’s nails the perfect balance between crispy and chewy with their thin slices. The crust is light yet sturdy enough to hold the toppings without becoming soggy, offering that satisfying crunch when you take a bite.

The sauce is tangy with a hint of sweetness, complementing the fresh, gooey cheese that stretches with every bite. Bobby’s doesn’t skimp on quality, ensuring every slice is flavorful without being overly heavy. Whether you go for a simple cheese slice or a fully loaded pie with pepperoni and veggies, each bite is a testament to the care they’ve put into their craft over the decades.

Operating for over 30 years, Bobby’s remains a go-to spot for pizza enthusiasts who appreciate the simplicity and perfection of a well-made slice. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more, and with good reason. That’s why they call me the pizza gavone.“

“My husband has been raving about Pasta Avest for awhile now and we finally made it in together yesterday afternoon. AMAZING. The Sicilian pizza was to die for and the service was wonderful. I can't wait to try the pasta! I highly recommend!“

Went in one day looking for a slice have only gone there since. I won't get pizza anywhere else consistency is on point and the staff and owners are super friendly and the pizzas are always fantastic.“

“Antonio's on Route Five earns my highest recommendation - it's absolutely amazing. After accidentally misinterpreting the combo option as an opportunity to create a fully customized pizza, I was pleased to find the staff remarkably friendly and understanding when they clarified it only included all the meats and veggies . They made me a new pizza“

“First time here and went with a traditional cheese pie. YUMMY!! The sauce is amazing and for us it had just the right amount of cheese. Some will find the flop factor a negative but I truly didnt care as the taste made up for it!! We will for sure be back to try more menu items!“

“First time there. Wanted to try a different place than our usual couple of places. Very interesting menu with a huge variety, we had to bring home 3 different pies to try, and they were great! Can’t wait to go back and try more. 🍕❤️“

“Nicky’s Place in East Haven never disappoints! Amazing pizza, the best wings, hearty pasta dinners, huge fresh salads, stacked sandwiches, exceptional fried seafood dinners and juicy burgers—everything is delicious. Ashley is the star behind the bar, and Anthony, the owner, works nonstop to make sure every bite is perfect. Great food, great people, great vibes!“

“We had a picnic wedding celebration for our daughter and son-in law at our home. They had gotten married in Italy a few months before. The pizza choices were amazing and delicious, never a line. Salad, gelato and expresso were all a hit with our guests. I would recommend using them. Luigi is wonderful and easy to work with.“

“Hands down the best pizza place in Wallingford!!! Highly recommended. Hopefully @barstoolsports gives them a review one day! My score is a solid 8.6 👍🏻 Also a big thank you to the owner Fabi for always giving the best service“

“Best pizza in town, place is newly renovated serving New Haven style thin sliced pizza. Staff is very friendly and very fast service.“

“Excellent pizza and such a nice family!! We were there last night, 🤌🏼 delicious ☺️!!“

“Delicious food!! Too bad they changed to throw away dishes & utensils. I have always loved their food.“

“Love it here! Owners, staff and food never disappoint 💕“

“What an absolute delight. The staff here are wonderful, kind and prompt. The entrance is spacious to facilitate easy pick up and ordering, but then you step through the arch and the dining room is lovely. Genuinely quite pretty and spacious and the seating they have is spread out so you can have a little privacy. If you had a local pizza parlor that felt like home to you Sorrento's will immediately put you at ease. Then on top of all of this the pizza is excellent. They do a thin crust that is perfectly crispy and the sauce is really tasty. They also are generous with their toppings and do an excellent balancing act so that no one ingredient is outshinuny the others and instead the dish itself presents itself to you. Im already looking forward to coming back, and if you are still reading this review I hope you'll give this resteraunt a try too because if I had to sum it up in one word it would be delightful.“

“Authentic. The Matt & Melissa are experts in real Italian cooking and wines. Authors of “The Italian Farmer's Table: Authentic Recipes and Local Lore from Northern Italy” & of lovers of that #MionettoStyle“

“Nice place, food was delicious. Service was awesome. Highly recommend it.“

“Pizza was fantastic! I got a small house special with cherry peppers ! Soooo good !“

“I have been ordering takeouts at Il Forno for the past seven. I started with bacon and onions pizza which was great. I then changed to eggplant pizza and it has to be the best I have ever had. Now I have moved on to shrimp marinara with linguine and I can't tell you how great this dish is. The shrimp are so large and fresh and the sauce is excellent. The filet of sole must weigh at least 2 pounds and my husband gets it every week. The filet is enough for two meals and so is the shrimp. Thank you Il Forno for making our Friday takeout a special treat.“

“I honestly am ashamed to say that I’ve lived in East Haven for 22 years and have never had Tollis pizza. Some friends and I were getting together and we were talking about restaurants to go to, and I had mentioned that I had never tried Tollis. We decided to give it a go. And I have never been happier with a decision ever! We had the white clam pizza, we had the Amalfi pizza. And I couldn’t decide which was my favorite. My friends had the Bolognese sauce, which the waitress brought a little bowl so they could try it with some bread before they ordered their entrée! Nice touch! It was fantastic! Our waitress was super attentive, very friendly, we were near where they were making the pizzas and it was fun to watch. An all-around great experience highly highly recommend.!!!!!“

“Ordered a few times for delivery and pickup. Delivery is great, always on time and if not, always before expected. Personal favorite pizzas I'd recommend are the Potato Pie, Grandma Pizza, and the Chicken Caesar Pizza. All are delicious and these impressed my friends and I very much, sauce is very flavorful, and the crust is cooked just right, not too crispy but also not too floppy. Last time I was there I picked up an Avocado Chicken Panini, and a J Blue Panini, which were both very delicious. I'm a big fan of the Blueberry sauce on the J blue, it surprised me! Currently a big fan of the pastas, you cannot go wrong with any of them like the Pollo Monte Carlo, Chicken Cacciatore, Penne Alla Vodka, etc. Fair prices too, and all of the staff are very friendly and kind too, 5/5 MUST TRY, it surprised me being my new spot!“

“10 / 10 pizza.. I don’t usually rate stuff 10/10 but it was so amazing. I ate a whole small pepperoni pizza..great authentic atmosphere, with a delicious foxon park birch beer. not very busy, and the pepperoni are cupped shaped 🤤“

“Best and friendliest staff...best food! I've been a customer for 15 years, there's no better pizza place! You guys are the best!!!!“

“Underrated by far. The food here is excellent in every way and made with care. Highly recommend!“

“we were very disappointed when the pizza place we went to for 35 years was sold and went down hill. We ordered from DePalma tonight on a referral from a friend. wow!! I don't know why we haven't had this before but will be coming again and again. thank you for the wonderful girl who took order, the delivery guy with manners ;) highly recommend uncle dinos special pizza for the seafood lovers. the seafood was cooked perfectly. outstanding!!“

“We added about an hour to an already long drive from Mass to PA. I couldn’t have been happier. Very friendly staff, great pizza and wings. Girlfriend was happy to watch “sing” on the tv while we waited for our food. Will make the trip back again.“

“Had a craving for New Haven style pizza. It was ice storming so allot of places were closed, but I was VERY happy with Branford Pizza! Crust was suuuuppper thin, crispy at the top, foldable with excellent sauce and just the right amount of cheese. Very reasonable! Also ordered a ruben for the next day and this did NOT disaapoint! Even with reheat, it was DELICIOUS! Very generous corned beef, tangy sauce, plenty of kraut & cheese. FILLING! Came wrapped in foil so super easy 2nd dinner . Will absolutely order again. THANK YOU!!!“
