“I can’t say enough about Tommy’s Pizza Palace Vasili’s Greek Everything salad dressing!! I first came upon it at a craft show at Wadsworth mansion! It’s so delicious that it has become my mission to drive from Stamford to Middletown to pick it up! I grabbed two bottles on 8/17 and made the mistake of sharing with my family so I have to go back this week for more! I can’t wait for it to hit a local store near me! If it doesn’t I will absolutely continue to make the trip! Try it - you will not be disappointed! Thank you to everyone at Tommy’s Pizza palace - all of your food is amazing!!“

“Chicken wings are DELICIOUS!! Definitely will eat here again.“

“I've been quite impressed every time I've grabbed something with these guys! First time tested out with slices which were good, then had a surprisingly good penne alla vodka with shrimp- which were cooked to perfection, and tonight I got a Ceaser salad with shrimp and some wings- all really good! The shrimp again was very flavorful and not overcooked. I'm glad they're nearby because Brasa Bella will definitely become a staple for us! 😁 Support your local small businesses!!“

“Wow !!! A group of 4 of us were traveling through the area and needed a good place for Dinner …We called and made a reservation , the owner Al was very personable on the phone .We arrived for dinner and he had our name on table , and he introduced himself …We had a couple of beers while he explained the menu to us ….we Decided on a couple of appetizers and also a small pizza to sample before ordering our dinner . The appetizers arrived and were very good, but the star of the show was definitely the pizza , so much flavor … the crust was to die for light and airy and so much crunch in the crust !!!! Next was the Dinner - Chicken Francaise , Chicken Parm , Chicken Marsala , Fettuccini Carbonaro .All meals arrived hot and were Delicious …We also got to meets Al’s Daughter who was very personable just like her Father ….We wished we had this Restaurant in our community . Give this Restaurant a shot , you won’t regret it . Thank you“

“There’s something about Main Street in Middletown that I really enjoy. On any given day it has this eclectic, culturally diverse vibe that makes it feel alive. Tibetan restaurants. Vegan spots. Italian. Mexican. Coffee shops and pastry counters.

On this particular day the sun was out, the sidewalks were busy, and people from all walks of life were strolling the street. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit for a bit, soak it all in, and watch the world go by.

Today we decided to stop into a new place: Middletown Halal Grill & Pizza.

We tried two pies: a classic cheese and a Philly cheesesteak pizza.

Both were excellent.

Everything started with a really flavorful crust. Nice balance of crisp on the outside with just the right amount of chew inside. The sauce was well balanced too. Not overly sweet, not acidic, just a nicely seasoned tomato sauce that let the other flavors shine.

The cheese pizza was simple and well executed. Cheese evenly distributed and melted perfectly, giving that smooth, creamy texture you want in a good slice.

The Philly pizza used the same base and added shaved steak, peppers, and onions. Great combination. No single ingredient trying to steal the show. Everything worked together.

They also offered a side of house-made tzatziki sauce for the Philly.

Now I know what you’re thinking… putting a cold white sauce on hot pizza can get you some funny looks. But trust me on this one. It worked. The tzatziki was made in-house, light, refreshing, and added a cool contrast to the rich steak and cheese.

Bonus points: the dough is made fresh daily.

The place itself is a cool little spot. Nothing fancy. Very unassuming. But sometimes those are the best places. A perfect stop to grab a pie, sit for a bit, people watch on Main Street, or catch up with friends over good food.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which always makes the experience better.

They offer a variety of other items too, wings, grinders, and more. Everything on the menu is Halal, meaning no pork. And honestly, that’s fine by me. This time I stuck with the pizzas, but next time I’m definitely going to try some of their Halal meats.

Solid pizza. Friendly people. Great Main Street vibe.

I’ll definitely be back“

The restaurant and bathroom are VERY clean. Their bathroom even has a baby changing table. Highly recommend stopping in for a delicious start to your day!“

“We had a reservation for 7 people. We showed up at the time expected and our table was waiting for us. We ordered a couple of small plates, salads, pizzas, beer, wine, soda. Everything was delicious, very tasty. It was a little busy so the waiter set our expectations early about wait time for pizza. Will definitely be back when in area.“

“My neighbor mentioned to me that he and his wife were going to lunch at Pete’s and said he was bringing his in laws. He and his in laws raved about the food. My neighbor said the roast beef (made in house) grinder was amazingly great. That’s my favorite, so I stopped by Pete’s a couple days ago and got the roast beef grinder with provalone cheese, mayo, roasted and banana peppers, shedded lettuce and tomato. It was sooo good that I had to go back in to let them know. Come to find out Pete’s dad made me the grinder. What a nice man!!! Talked to him for a few minutes. I found a place near home that I will be visiting again and again!!! Next time I’m trying a pizza. So many great reviews……I read them all!!!“

“Moodus DaVinci - Okay, as if I haven't spammed the internet enough already about this place, I HAVE to post about my wrap. I got the Chipotle Steak wrap. It was a decent size portion. I saved half for lunch today. The best part? it was JUST as delicious upon reheat as it was last night!!! it wasn't soggy. It did not fall apart. Most importantly, it was so so good!!! There's nothing I would have added or taken away. I can't wait to get it again! Since I haven't left a review on this page specifically yet, I'll add that the wings here are phenomenal!! There's many kinds but garlic parm is my fav. So, if you're looking for a good wing spot in this neck of the woods - look no further!“

“Pizza is great……but the wings got to go never again.“

“🍕👍👌🤌................... !“

“Been going to Freddy’s forever! Haven’t found any other place that will beat the taste of Freddy’s original Greek taste since Freddy worked at the original ABC Pizza when we were in high school! Still the best! I have to drive a few miles but it’s always worth it!“

“Stopped through randomly driving from NY to MA because it was the fastest detour from our trip - holy cow I'm glad we did, got the bacon cheddar wrap and honestly it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Totally blew past my expectations for a little hole in the wall off the highway.“

“Cobb Salad,tasteful grilled chicken&bacon/great garlic rolls. Also,my favorite Pizza is Robs Pizza.“

“Vito's Restaurant is a place that I visit quite frequently and the food and service are always outstanding. They have some of the best specials around and we love grabbing their slices for lunch! its delicious; quick and easy. I 100% recommend.
