“Las pizzas y pastas 😍😍😍😂😂😂😂😂“

“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.“

“I recently hosted my Headshots & Handshakes event, powered by OQC, at this restaurant—and it was the perfect setting for a vibrant and engaging community networking experience. The space was open, inviting, and just the right size to foster meaningful connections without feeling crowded.

The atmosphere was beautifully enhanced by J Rod Designs, a trusted local favorite, whose decor added an elegant and professional touch. The bar featured three signature cocktails that were an absolute hit, and the bartenders brought great energy and service throughout the event.

A standout moment for me was when the owner gifted my daughter and niece small stuffed animals to keep them entertained during the event—such a thoughtful gesture that spoke volumes about the care and attention this establishment shows its guests.

Our attendees had a fantastic time, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return—either with the organization or for a personal visit. Highly recommend!“

“Nicolette hosted us as if we were in her own dining room. The food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. From appetizers to scrumptious desserts. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing food, drink and service“

“A&S never disappoints with catering an event. Edwin is always responsive and helped to plan the full event from selecting a menu to rentals to arranging for staff and carefully planning every step. I would use the team again and had a wonderful time. The clean up was fabulous too.“

“When they first opened the noise level was off the charts. I'm happy to report they spent a lot of money sound proofing the dining room and adding tablecloths. I encourage you to give it another try if you were like me and refuse to go there because of all the noise. The food and the service is very good and I'm happy to have a local place that I can enjoy“

“Awesome little find in Stamford’s historic South End.“

“👍🏼 👌🏽 Loved it there and it was very tasty.“

“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.“

“Party room upstairs DJ and casino nights“

“Had dinner with my friend and food was amazing! The burrata and carpaccio were my favorites. Kayla was our bartender, and she was the sweetest human being ever!! So attentive and paying attention to us just in case we needed anything. She is lovely and the drinks were sooooo good. Will come back!!❤️“

“the atmosphere was amazing, the staff was pleasant and very personable, the food was delicious and desert the chocolate bomb I believe that's the name was the perfect ending to a wonderful service also the waitress helped me pick out a non-alcoholic drink cucumber something I'm horrible with names that's why I haven't mentioned theirs because they definitely gave it I'm just horrible with remembering anyway....if you're in Stamford area go there you'll meet them tell them Emma sent you you won't regret it I live in New Jersey and will go back“

“Food is delicious. Loved it!“

“Can never say enough about Ridgeway Pizza. Their food is always awesome and their staff goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy. We love to give shout-outs to you guys on What's on the Menu?! Thanks for all the years of keeping us deep in pepperoni! :)“

“First time here, just had a slice before the show (Palace) DELISH! Will go back again!“

“I highly recommend Antonio’s Two in One. There is so much to choose from there menu. Appetizers, salads, pastas, chicken, meat, soups, pizza and more. Love there stuffed clams, fried calamari and fried Mozzetta sticks appetizer. Highly recommend there chef salad with chicken and grilled shrimp salad. Zuppa de Piese is my favorite pasta, clams, calamari and fish in red or white sauce. Steak con hueso with mashed potato and spinach with broccoli garlic and oil is also a must try. Seafood soup and beef soup are two of my favorite. Salad pizza with chicken also very good. Service is great . Always on point. Making sure we have everything we need on the table. One of the best places in town.“

“Very good solid choice for a casual moderately priced dinner. A little on the loud side, and the AC didn't seem Like it was working.“

“Cool small neighborhood pizza place where you can get ...neighborhood pizza. I really like this place, but it's kind of hidden, in the intersection across from Mama's Kitchen. Bonus, there are a lot of great items here besides pizza....such as tandoori and biriyani_which you may not be interested in, but I am always looking for Indian food....“

“Excellent pizza. Friendly staff. Indoor & outdoor dinning. Good prices. What's not to like?“
