“Everything on the menu is good. Nothing is half assed. Really good food all around/ amazing pizza/ grinders. I’m very picky about my parm grinders and everything here is spot on.“

“Love this place. They never mess my order up and always great service. I've been coming here for years. They let you breath and relax there. Nothing crazy. Their pizza and Grinders are exelent and the only pizza my family will even wanna order or go to. Here is a photo of my Tuna grinder with extra lettuce that was requested. Again, When in Vernon Ct. Type pauls pizza into your GPS.“

“Been there 3 times and every time the pizza was delicious 😋.“

“We had been looking for a place for lunch or dinner that was local and not a chain. Been driving by it for years and finally checked it out. The decor is a little dated so if classier atmosphere is what you're looking for go elsewhere. If you want well prepared italien food, larger portions, reasonable prices, friendly, efficient waitstaff and in a warm, family familiar setting....you have arrived!“

“Visiting from San Antonio with Connecticut family connections.
Was brought here to enjoy Grinders, as it's not common or a known thing in the south.

Food was amazing. Bread was crisp and warm.
Enjoyed some pickle and eggplant fries as well.
Immensely impressed with them.
Before I knew it. I finished the food
Would definitely come back. Thanks again“

“This was a good stop on the drive through CT. Easy on and off the highway. It's a newer building, with the good and bad of that. Felt more like a sports bar than a pizzeria. The pizza WAS tasty, and was wet enough as to need folding to eat. To be honest, I wish our drive had led us to Modern in New Haven, but for something different this was good, and service was great, the staff friendly, and what more could one want?“

“I’ve been here countless times and the food is consistently very good. The servers are always friendly too. Tonight I sat at the bar after a class and ordered grinders for takeout. Absolutely THE best grinders we’ve had in forever. My veggie and cheese grinder was LOADED with veggies! My husband’s grinder had so much nest he could have created 2 more grinders. Thank you Soula and staff. You are all top notch!“

“Ordered the chicken Caesar wrap for lunch. Super tasty! Great local business to support.“

“Five stars! From atmosphere to service to food, all exceptional! Deborah is wonderful as is her entire staff. We had the swordfish special and the scallops, so delicious! Stacey is an excellent server, she made helpful recommendations for cocktails and entrees. I highly recommend the restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to returning!“

“Initially visited about 10 years ago. Hadn’t been back for. O particular reason. Recently decided to go back and we’ve been going there every couple of weeks since. Prices are very good and the food is excellent. Jason does a great job. Highly recommend.“

“It Is My opinion that this is the best Italian Food in Connecticut. if you love Italian food you will love this restaurant.“

“This restaurant is my absolute favorite restaurant. The pork Milanese is fantastic“

“Excellent all around. Great food and atmosphere.“

“We stopped on a road trip and got a delicious Tuscan chicken pizza and the girls that were there were super friendly and nice people. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Excellent food, very consistent“

“Elizabeth's is our favorite restaurant. The food is always good, fresh and large portions. have tried many different entrees and they are always delicious. Especially love their veal parmigiana and the stuffed soule!“

“We have had food from the new location in Preston Connecticut three times now. They had only been two days, a few weeks, and now a few months when we are here. First impression was the cheese pizza had no taste but the deep dish pep was good. Second impression was similar. Now a few months into establishing, the cheese is delicious. Great sauce and cheese flavor and ratios. Crust is just right. We did have a few pieces of the Detroit/deep dish pep but not all of our deep dish tasted “Smokey.” The best way to explain it is like the smokiness of mezcal tequila. Most of the pep was charred so we suspect it was over cooked or was adjacent to something else in the oven that burnt. Overall, positive experience and in time, we think this restaurant will continue to strive and adjust recipes and cooking techniques to meet or exceed expectations.“

“Love Holiday restaurant!!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Joey’s Garlic! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the penne a la vodka, shrimp scampi, and fried calamari, and every dish was full of flavor. The portions were huge—definitely family-style! Honestly, one plate would have been enough for both of us, and we still had plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home. The restaurant itself has a beautiful setting with an industrial hipster vibe, warm lighting, and a fun flare that makes the atmosphere really inviting. Service was excellent—our server was both fast and friendly, which made the evening even better. For the quality and size of the portions, the pricing was amazing and very affordable. We truly felt like we got more than our money’s worth. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu next time!“

“Took a trip to DiFiore Ravioli shop in Ellington, CT. They make 15 varieties of homemade Ravioli, sauces, oils, amazing desserts, and more. We picked up the TENDERLOIN & BACON ravioli, and the SHRIMP & ROASTED GARLIC ravioli. They were out of the lobster ravioli, but we picked up the homemade Tiramasu. While there we saw they made gourmet sandwiches, which we ordered and ate outside. They were amazing, so big, we could only eat half (pics taken after we started) Great place, staff were fantastic!! Very nice people. We will definitely return!!!“

“It took a little bit to get the food, but it was worth the wait!“

“My girlfriend and I came in for a brunch on a Saturday morning. We’ve been to olive garden plenty of times but not to this location. The atmosphere is really cozy and sweet, I like the bar seating area. Our server was Gabriel and he was very friendly and attentive which only made the experience better. We’ll most likely be coming back, thanks ❤“

“My favorite spot to hang out. Been around a long time, very consistent.“

“I’ve loved C&E pizza since I was a kid in the 90s and living in EH.

I’ve since moved out of state a decade ago, but anytime I visit, I order takeout! Last time did not disappoint, just as good as it’s always been.

Can’t wait for my next visit.

Legends, other states just don’t have the same quality of pizza.“

“Brian is a amazing waiter. I can’t say enough about him. Makes our meal even better. Thank you for your wonderful service!!??“

“Great food and reasonable prices.“

“First time going here.
It was absolutely amazing. We met the owner, who was the nicest man ever. Our server was so great and the food was beyond amazing. We spent fathers day here and it was absolutely worth it. Id give more stars if possible.“

“While I can't speak to the in restaurant experience, I ordered takeout from here for the first time and I will certainly be ordering again. The chicken and sausage carbonara is so tasty, and the portion size could feed three people. The wings were fried well, and I'm looking forward to trying other flavors. Overall, it's giving the perfect neighborhood takeout spot that will likely be my go to moving forward.“

“Been several times! While the burger left much to be desired, the pizza is spectacular! As well as the wings. We sit at the bar every time and the bartenders are always amazing“

“I had the chicken Philly sanwhich, it was vert good, albeit a little over cooked. I qas serviced by two bartends, one was pretty good, the other one seemed to forget that I was there, even whem she was standing in front of me.

The outdoor area is great, lively and fun.“

“Love me some Giovannis! Super friendly staff that works quickly and, of course, the knockout skillet that is the BBQ Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese ;)“
