It isn’t the prettiest place and I have never sat down for a meal, but I have been getting take out pizza, wings and grinders here for close to 30 years. I went back the other day for the first time in almost ten years (I moved down south), and it was the same as the last day I had it- a literal trip down memory lane. The pizza cooked exactly how I asked (well done), the wings with the Same cook and flavor I remembered, and in this day and age of places cutting corners to make more money, Wilson’s stands tall and delivers what they have always delivered- a great meal.

Wow-The food here is great!! I came here as a kid in the 60s & 70s; they haven't missed a beat! Same classic taste and quality!!!
I ordered a small tuna grinder....there was more celery on the grinder then tuna...I ate the first half then picked out most of the celery on the 2nd half and took pics. The sandwich is at least 80% celery...very disappointing. I won't be back.

I had been a frequent customer at Wilson's Pizza when I lived in the neighborhood. I actually spent my birthday there with my at the time girlfriend and she brought in a cake with the candles lit up. While Wilson's was still owned by all the gentlemen including Pete, and the pizza was still cut into squares, business was booming. It was a very alive business with atmosphere. It was a great escape from the world, it was community oriented, and the pizza was awesome. I heard that the business was taken over by their cousins. I went in, and one of the first things that I saw was a garbage can wedged between the seats of a broken table as well as pizza boxes on a bunch of tables on the side, to where you were unable to sit and eat anywhere except the very front of the restaurant. I don't know if anyone here remembers the show Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, but if you do, remember that episode when they make a city out of boxes? That's what the entire left side of the restaurant looks like right now. I went up to the counter and ordered a small vegetable pizza. The new business owner seemed really nice while taking my order. A couple came in after me and ordered a small pizza and spaghetti. As they were being cashed out, a man who I could already tell was a regular customer, holding up his money in his hand as if he was about to make a bid at an auction, walked in. He leaned up against the counter, put his order in with the kitchen staff and expected to be cashed out while the customers before him were already at the register. He ordered a salad, and he also ordered a small pizza. As someone who was a waitress for five years, I know how a lot of regular customers operate. I also know how to handle them. Giving into their entitlement is not only how you lose new customers, you also lose money. I've seen it happen many, many times where I used to work. Despite the fact that both myself and the couple ordered ahead of this man, he wound up getting his food first, which displeased both me and the couple. I could understand if his order was a salad alone, but he also ordered a small pizza which is what myself as well as the customers ahead of him ordered. I walked up to the counter and asked the owner when my order was coming out. She told me now. When I didn't leave the counter, the owner seethingly looked up, smiled and giggled at me. I found that to be unprofessional but due to her very young age, I let it slide. I still tipped her and thanked her. Then, when I had my hands out for my order, the box barely hit my finger tips and the new owner drops the box onto the counter, and walked away without saying a word. I'm not sure if she was angry because I stood up for myself and for the couple, but I would like for her to know that how she treated us was absolutely unacceptable. Treating regular customers like they matter more than the others will cost you at some point if it hasn't already, and I hope that this review is viewed as a learning lesson for the new owner, if it's even taken into consideration at all. In a world that is as crazy as this one, we need places to be in community. Every customer should be valued exactly the same. Not first or second class tiers for who should be serviced first based on who gives you more money. How emblematic is that to the current, unfair society we live in? When people are treated unfairly, we are reminded of how messed up the world is. Please do better and create a space where we all can escape from it rather than reminding us of it. P.S. Take the garbage can out from the middle of that table, fix it and please demolish the city of Edtropolis built from your pre folded up pizza boxes on all the side tables so that people can actually sit down and enjoy the atmosphere that's supposed to resemble a restaurant. Have a little integrity with your family's business that they built from the

This place is very popular in Hartford but I find it okay. Make sure you have Cash. The building itself is very old, the inside needs to be updated like twenty years ago ?!!!! I wouldn't eat inside but have ordered some food there ? which have been okay. I don't think it is the best pizza in Hartford/Windsor area but if you live or work in the area why not try it. I enjoyed the chicken salad but they only have a few selections. Chicken wings were the breaded ones ( not what I ordered) which were very salty...i needed plenty of water. I would rather go to Windsor Pizza which hasn't disappointed as of yet.

The Wilson Special pizza has the best crust. We have been looking for Sicilian style crust, here it is. Toppings done properly and very tasty. Prices are reasonable and standard for local shops.
