“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t 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 meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t 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 Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the 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 – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s 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 Spot—not because it’s 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 Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s 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. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo“

“I ordered Thai by Thai via Door Dash for the first time today. I got the Drunken Noodles. OMG they were wonderful. They got here hot and I'm in Groton. Lots of chicken and veggies and just the right amount of spice. I will definitely order from them again“

“This is probably my new favorite restaurant. I've gone there a few times now for breakfast and burgers and both were very, very, good, but their Mexican cuisine--as one might imagine--is the highlight of a very strong menu, and their burrito is the best I've ever had. Service is friendly and surprisingly fast. You're paying a few bucks more than a chain restaurant, but the experience is easily three times better and worth every cent.“

“Service was great. Atmosphere was also good. Food was fast and definitely priced very fairly. The meats on every one of our entrees were dry though. I so badly wanted to 5 star this place. Hoping it was an off night as the reviews were good from most.“

“I have been in the Norwich area for 6 years, but I had Mr. Pan's food for the first time today, after reading good reviews. They did not disappointed. Food was delicious and fresh. The person who took my order was very patience. Going back for sure.“

“A personal note expressing our gratitude to Irene's staff. My husband Phil's 80th birthday a huge success! I had ordered tons of food, all arrived on time and was piping hot and ready to serve.

“Engine No.6 Pizza Company where do I start! Not only is the pizza addicting but you guys go above and beyond for your customers!

Thank You for being amazing!!“

“If you're lucky enough in Franklin Square to be coming by you'll have some of the BEST Chinese food in Eastern CT. Real ingredients, Real spices (including Ginger Root) and awesome Gen. Tso's chicken freshly cut and prepared! Most of their offerings are fresh, not frozen and prepared on order! No boilbags here, even the rice is better! Great chinese spare ribs, too. Great Beverage coolers with many choices! Great friendly cashier.“

“Yummmm thank you, we will be back“

“Delicious brick oven pizza, crispy crust, fresh toppings, great service! Love the environment, all of their menu is great.“

“They ripped me off for over 10 dollars. When I brought it to their attention they said they corrected it. They did not. Police were involved and even then Johnny refused to pay me back!! Horrible experience, even called Johnny in Rhode Island. No results.“
