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.“

“the food is delicious!! the stuffed breads are amazing and well stuffed!!“

“Great restaurant and great staff!!“

“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“

“The Pane Cotto was delicious, and the Chicken Barsi was out of this world. Highly recommend.“

“Kevin and his wife are almost like family there! I travel from Prospect since this is the closest to "real" pizza and the crust does not taste like cardboard. I'm moving to Shelton and will be visiting them from there soon!!“

“We drive from Rocky Hill to Christos Wallingford for their family meal deals during the week or if we are passing through from seeing family on the shore. Family serving of whatever they are offering plus bread and a salad. Feeds us for 3 days. 10/10“

“I think the staff is just great, the pizza is the best in town and I'm always surprised there's not a line of people waiting to get in. I always get take-out, and around the holidays pick up their delicious stuffed breads. A really nice business and the food is just great.“

“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!“

“Tonight we celebrated the engagement of my son and his fiancée. Sixty friends and family gathered to laugh, share stories, tell jokes, and of course—eat like royalty. Seeing as it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, what better way to celebrate than with something green… Big Green Truck Pizza, to be exact. Irish meets Italian—just like the happy couple we toasted. They rolled up in their vintage green International Harvester, custom-fitted with a wood-fired brick oven. Within an hour, they were cranking out perfectly charred, New Haven-style pizzas like a well-oiled machine. They started simple with a plain mootz. Then came pepperoni. Next up: sausage and broccoli rabe. And then the creativity kicked in—meatball and ricotta, artichoke hearts and goat cheese, buffalo chicken—you name it, they made it. Shrimp Fra Diavolo? Yup. That happened. Each pie was carefully crafted by Josh and masterfully handled by Bryan, the oven whisperer. He knew exactly where each pie was in the oven, when to rotate it, when to raise it up to char the top—like a parent watching their kids at the beach. He knew when it was time to pull ’em out and move on. Josh handled the dough like a pro—perfect shape, just the right amount of sauce, cheese distributed with precision. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The sauce? Bright and seasoned just right to let the tomatoes shine. The cheese? Grande mozzarella—velvety, melty, and pull-worthy. No one left hungry. I, however, may have overindulged. I felt like Mr. Creosote from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (IYKYK). Thankfully, there were no wafer-thin mints in sight. The night ended with espresso and gelato—the perfect finish to a perfect evening. If you’re looking for a killer pizza truck for your next party, I highly recommend Big Green Truck Pizza. Just make sure you bring your appetite… and stretchy pants.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Best pizza in the area……Friendly atmosphere.“

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

“Waaaayyyyy better than some of these other pizza places everyone talks about in New Haven. I’m from NY and it’s been hard to find good pizza. Please don’t recommend those other “popular” pizza places. They were trash compared to this place. Nobody tops NY pizza but this place was really good.“

“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.!!!!!“

“I just ordered chicken tenders, but I've had their pizza, albeit years ago. As I remember, the pizza was good, and my tenders were as well. Just wanted to comment on the staff, though. These guys are so friendly, pleasant and peaceful. They make it a nice experience.“

“best pizza in Wallingford hands down!!“

“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!“

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

“Worst dinner I've had in years. The lettuce was OLD and Sandy. The cola was flat. The service was slow.“

“2024. Still stop here when i can. Still amazing. Still delicious!

WOW. I just moved to Branford and a local friend took me here. Everything Italian! Prepacked dinners of various sizes. Cookies, AMAZING gelato, arancini, donuts, squid, meatballs, cappuccino...and more! I'll be back for more.“
