“My favorite restaurant of all time“

“Stopped by on my way to NY tried a GoodToGo order, I will I was surprised by the quantity of donuts. Unfortunately and I don't want to be harsh as GoodToGo is used to stop food from going to waste, but these donuts were really stale and just barely edible. Which surprised me because the donuts given to me came straight from what was on the shelves for the day, I got there around 3:30 and they closed at 8 according to Google. If you do try them maybe try to get them as they open and are fresh. The donuts with cereal with the easiest to eat for some reason but the rest were just dry, stale to the point that it was hard to try and finish. On positive note if you looking to get 10 donuts for $7~ check this place out on the GoodToGo app.“

“Good pizza, fast service and got a party of 21 in and out quickly with lots of kids.“

“Cannot thank the staff, especially Debbie, Cheryl, and Christine for their amazing efforts in coordinating a dinner at Gaetano's following a funeral for our treasured family member. We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations, the food, and especially the service. We received many positive compliments from our family and friends. We could not have picked a better spot to gather. We are so grateful for the comfortable, supportive and positive experience we had during such a difficult time we were all going through.“

“We've been going to this place for more than 10 years. When ever we want good pizza, this is the place. We always get the plain thin crust (its incredible!!!).
This time we ordered something more adventurous, and got Tri colore pizza. It was really good , but not for the people who dont like spinach. It had too much for my personal taste. Their stake and cheese sandwich is soo awesome.
Do try it once. I guarantee, you'll be back.“

“My husband and I ordered a pizza to go from Carini’s for the first time under their new management. We ordered the Smog pizza. It had sausage, mushrooms, peppers and onions as toppings. The pizza was absolutely delicious! It had just the right amount of mozzarella. The sausage was so tasty and the mushrooms, onions, and peppers were fresh and cooked perfectly. Having grown up in New Haven, I loved that the crust was on the thinner side. I highly recommend Carini’s! We look forward to ordering more pizza or stopping in for dinner some night!“

“Great food, great service, great people!“

“4.5 overall
8.2 on the slice

Really top notch imo. I had a snafu and forgot to add a topping on a gh order. They let me call in and modify and pay cash at pickup. They didn't want to take my money on arrival which was nice of them. Tip your people, everyone!

The slice was great. Big flop because it had toppings, but it held beautifully. Great char on the bottom and that razor thin apizza crust. Toppings up to the edge. Good pie. I don't think it's wood or coal fired, but the got the temp right in that oven for sure. Good fresh ingredients!“
