“My wife and I travelled from Toronto Canada to Port Chester NY to attend a concert at the Capitol Theatre on a Friday night in October 2025. We parked in the lot beside the restaurant (which was very convenient) and were greeted by a very friendly host, who seated us right away – accommodating my wife in her wheelchair with ease.\n\nThe restaurant was lively, filled with families enjoying themselves – such a wonderful atmosphere. We told our server, Joey, that after dinner we were heading to a concert around the corner. Joey was so kind and assured us we would make it on time – and he was absolutely right! He and the kitchen staff were incredibly efficient.\n\nDinner was absolutely amazing – a true 10/10 - and Joey's service was top-notch. The matriarch and patriarch visited our and other tables to check that everything was perfect (and it was!). They and the entire team made us feel welcome and like part of the family.\n\nWe rarely take leftovers when travelling, but our meal was so good that we did this time – and it was just as delicious when we warmed it up for lunch the next day at our hotel.\n\nWe highly recommend T&J Pizza and Pasta (T&J Restaurant & Pizzeria) to everyone!“

We went for the soft opening a few weeks back and the atmosphere was so family oriented and welcoming. Some of the best pizza I have had! They have a bunch of different kinds but the grandma pizza and the plain pizza are out of this world! You have to try this place. Mike the owner is absolutely wonderful and knows what really good pizza is.“

“A tradition! My friends and I cycle all over Stamford, New Canaan, Pound Ridge, Darien, and more …and about half the time they insist that we stop at “mother‘s” (as they call it) before we head to our respective homes. We always get rolls with egg, cheese, broccoli rabe, and bacon …and pancakes …and coffee and it’s definitely heaven.

Thanks for the warm welcome and fresh coffee every time!“

“We've lived in Rye Brook for 4 years and we've been looking for a good pizzeria which is close to us. I always drove by F&L and finally tried it out and the pizza is amazing. It's the best pizza we've had in the area by far. Their wedges are also really good and you don't break the bank when you go to Frankie & Louie's. Employees are friendly as well. We highly reccommend trying it out.“

“High quality food. Everything I’ve eaten is so good. Friendly staff and environment. I highly recommend anyone to stop by and grab a bite!“

“I ordered Chicken Marsala and the chicken was raw. I did not notice until I'd already eaten a bit. I called the restaurant immediately and the man who answered had a very hard time believing that the chef who's been there for 30 years sent out raw chicken. I sent pictures to him. No reply. I am very sick today. I called the restaurant this morning and explained the situation again to a much nicer man who at least apologized and said he'd have a manager call me shortly when they got in. No manager has called. Nicks Pizza made me sick, refused to believe their chef sent me raw chicken...and I gave them plenty of time to make it right. With their lack of response or even care for this matter, I feel I now am left with no other choice but to post this review of my experience. I've been sick all day and have pictures of the pink/translucent chicken I ate from here to prove it. I am a long time customer however will never be back.“

“Best steak I have had in a long time, service was impeccable. Will be back“

“absolutely a pleasure... from being greeted by Michelle mgr.....talking with the owner...we would return tomorrow but we live in Atlanta... oh the desserts ate amazing... really 6 🌟“
