This is a little gem spot! We went in for the first time tonight and LOVED the seafood stuffed mushrooms. We also got the Olympian Pizza and added sausage, it was đ¤anddd ended up leaving with a rice pudding because the table next to us did and the waitress said they just did them today. We also ran into two guys where it was their first time too and chatted with them for a while, awesome guys. Big time recommend this place!!

We had lunch with a large group and we're allowed to pay on separate checks. Manny's seated us easily. The food was good with large portions. I enjoyed my pizza. Service was friendly and prompt.

My wife and I are stuck on their Greek Salads we never tire of. Pizza is always freshly made and have a great taste, especially with a side Greek salad. I love the strombolis but end up taking some of it home. I am not a big eater, so when I hit Manny's I usually have to waddle to the car. Can't resist eating more than I should have. They do have delivery, carryout and dine in. Wheel chair accessible and handicap parking. Be sure to try it .

Big Alâs Reel Reviews â EP.144
đMannyâs Pizza Plus đ
City of Norwich, CT
Sometimes, the best food isnât just about flavorâitâs about familiarity.
This review wasnât just another stop. This was a return.
Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot mealâwhether it was lunch, dinner, or just a cravingâMannyâs Pizza Plus was the move. It wasnât just close⌠it was comfort.
So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started.
I parked the car. Looked at my old house.
And I walked⌠just like I used to⌠straight to Mannyâs.
And what I found?
Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah⌠still delicious.
Letâs break it down:
---
1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo â $8.99 đŁ
This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavorâthe kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment.
The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle.
---
2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate â $13.50đŁ
Six crispy shrimp, fried just rightâcrunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie.
The French fries were on pointâcrispy, golden, hot.
Coleslaw wasnât bad, but not for me. Just a side that didnât hit the same.
---
3. Small Cheese Pizza â $6.99 đŁ
That classic Greek-style pizza that Mannyâs is known forâsoft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust thatâs golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest.
---
The Atmosphere & Service
This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spotânot because itâs fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me.
The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming.
And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Mannyâs daughter. She took great care of meâfriendly, attentive, and full of pride for her familyâs place.
---
Final Thoughts:
Sometimes the past calls you backânot for closure, but for connection.
And this trip to Mannyâs reminded me why I do what I do.
Itâs not just about new flavors⌠itâs about honoring the places that helped shape who we are.
And when it comes to taco pizzaâIâll say this loud and clear:
Mannyâs makes the VERY BEST taco pizza Iâve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits.
So if youâre in Norwich and want a spot thatâs real, consistent, and full of heartâpull up to Mannyâs Pizza Plus.
Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you.
And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me.
âSee you on the Rebound, Peaceâđžout

The server we had was nice, the other one who cashed us out had now ruined a family, because of comments, I will never go there again.

Honestly the worse pizza ever! Ordered a cheese pizza and they gave me a preheated pizza, that pizza was cleared preheated, it was not fresh and the taste was awful, also the other items I ordered the taste was clearly not from fresh food. You can tell when food is fresh or not, and the food I did received it was old, not fresh. In top of that they over charge me, because the prices they charge me didn't match the prices they have in their menu. Very dissatisfied with this place, will never go there again!

Specifically asked for their Greek dressing and told them I was only ordering for that specif8c dressing and they didn't feel the need to tell me they no longer carried that dressing and had replaced it with a completely different one. So oil and vinegar with feta to a bitter ranch.....then also didn't even give us blu cheese with the tenders we ordered. When I called nick and spoke to the SAME girl I had spoke to the first time she said yeah its completely different sorry....we wouldn't have even bothered so that's $35 for nothing
