50 Best Pizza Restaurants near North Branford

“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.“

Best pizza in Northford by a long shot and one of the better pizzas in the New Haven area“

“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!“

“Best pizza and great people. Always try to get at least one pie whenever we’re in the area.“

“This has become my new go to pizza parlor in town! The service has been excellent and you really cannot beat the prices. Greek style pizza which is made quickly and tastes great. The pie we like to get is spinach, bacon, and feta. I have also gotten a sausage calzone and a BBQ chicken grinder and all 3 of these items have been fantastic. I will definitely be back for more!
Cash discount on your order too so I definitely recommend taking advantage of that if you can“

They made me a new pizza“

“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.!!!!!“

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.

“Great pizza. I would call this a little more traditional NYC pizza than apizza. the crust we received was excellent in flavor and although the top was crispy it had more flop. Only flavor complaint was almost no sauce. The rest was excellent. Still a great pizza and people who work there were super nice.“

“Nowadays, as we all know, everything is stupid expensive. So since that is a given, I can only feel that I was not robbed if I receive a product that is worth these exorbitant prices. Benny J's Pizza is such an excellent restaurant that when I get food from there I feel like I Won! The food is absolutely delicious & I've had sandwiches, pizza, calzones, salad & def more! Every single thing I've ordered from Benny J's has been excellent! Never once was my order the least bit shy of perfect. On top of the great quality of the food, Benny J's also gives you portions that end up being TWO big meals! And, somehow, the food is just as good the 2nd time! I highly recommend Benny J's, if you couldn't already tell ?! Worth every penny, every time!“
