50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Pound Ridge

“I very seldom order take-out - but I tried LaFamilia for pizza when they first opened in Pound Ridge - and was not impressed. However, a few weeks ago I found myself without side dishes for Sunday dinner - and I ordered salads, broccoli rabe and a few other items and they were excellent. Last night I ordered two entrees and they were outstanding.“

“Excellent from entrance to exit. Staff and food were superb!“

“Everything we had was delicious!! Thank you!! ♥️“

“Best pizza in Stamford. And the competition is not even close. Besides a couple local favorites that have been here over 20 years plus. This place is the best of the new for sure.

I could have a pizza loaded with toppings and it never flops. The crust has the perfect flavor and crisp, and this place always has a line out the door! And the pic doesn't do it justice i ate the eggplant delight slice right before i took this pic and now going in for the kill on a “CBR” slice 🤣🔥

Love coming here and the owners care about their food! Always coming back!“

“Absolutely delicious- catered a work lunch and was loved by all“

“Food is always amazing, and I will never stop going there, but one thing confuses me. Every time I order a gluten free meal for takeout, there is a giant hunk of bread in the bag. With the gluten free meal. After calling and indicating a gluten allergy. So my wife has to remove the bread and clean the container before I can eat. It's worth the trouble, but it seems like a no-brainer that when someone orders gluten free, there shouldn't be bread in the bag.“

“Food is number one but engaged and present owners set the tone in this buzzing north stamford market/deli. Fresh, generous, creative sandwiches, cool specials and the secret weapon is top notch pizza. The cha cha cha breakfast burrito might just be the morning winner too. Keep it up guys and we will remain regulars!“

“Food is really good and deserves 5 stars,but i do have a small complaint with my last order. My mom came recently from Serbia and i wanted to order a really good chicken parm with vodka sauce that i had a few weeks ago,but yesterday i received a chicken parm that was pretty dry and almost no vodka sauce. Pretty disappointed with last order overall,but its still a good place. I just hope you dont be stingy with sauces again.“

“the best lunch in Ridgefield“

“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.“

“I generally like the food, however, I tried the chicken parmesan and was disappointed. It was over done, dry, not much sauce or cheese. Maybe just a bad night. Generally it is pretty good......“

“Just left a crazy Thursday night at IL Forno. What a fun and enjoyable evening we had. We walked in with no reservations and the manager snuck us right in and we even got to the listen to an amazing singer. We have been here a few times, this was by far the most fun we had. Everyone was laughing. The staff which seems to be plenty was having a good time. The manager and Owners kept walking around and making sure all was good and everyone was happy. Thank you for restoring our fun Thursday evening with no COVID fears.“

“Excellent food Competitive prices And, the nicest people!“

“Great food. Great prices.“

“I Highly Recommend Amore's Staff & Cuisine ☆☆☆☆☆ !!!“

“Great place to enjoy a late afternoon! Great Food !“

“Great pizza spot in Norwalk“

“Been coming here for nearly 40 years! It’s that good“

“Great pizza, wonderfully creative sandwiches (and killer meatballs!). Legendary jazz and blues legends on the walls and the best house music. Love it!!“

“The best Grandma’s pie, hands down. Looking forward to trying more from the huge menu. 👍“

“Amazing pizza and pasta“

“I have not dined in at Wonder, but I have ordered from one of their restaurants, Hanu Poke, using Uber Eats many times, and the portions are always very good and the food is always fresh and tasty. My only issue is that whenever I order poke, it always seems like they are out of ingredients, and I find myself not ordering exactly what I wanted because I have to substitute so many things. Even at times and days of the week when you’d think they wouldn’t be that busy, it seems like there is always something that they are running out of here. I understand that in having so many different options in one place, it can be difficult to keep ingredients in stock, but oftentimes the amount of food that they do not offer on certain days is very disappointing.“

“I am a pizza nut. This place is legit. Love their pies and love their salads. Definitely one of the best in the county.“

“My family visited from New Mexico for vacation and decided to stop by a pizza place. We happened to locate Sinapi’s and I am glad we did. It’s the best pizza we have ever had. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back.“

“We go there multiple times per week. Eggplant parm, chicken francese, shrimp scampi. All amazing.“

“Picked up a nice pep pie and garlic knots today and wasn't disappointed!“

“If you’re craving the most mouthwatering pizza in town, this place delivers in every way. The crust comes out perfectly crisp, the toppings taste unbelievably fresh, and every slice feels like it was made with genuine care. It’s the kind of pizza that makes you pause mid‑bite because it’s that good. What really sets this spot apart is the friendly staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like a neighbor, not just a customer. They remember faces, ask how you’re doing, and make you feel like you’re part of their little community. And that’s the magic — the small‑town feeling. It’s cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. You can sit back, enjoy incredible food, and feel right at home. A true local gem worth every visit.“

“Just plain awesome in every way“

“This isn't fine dining, this is your local hole in the wall, smash-n-grab-pizza joint. It's superb. They have different pizza toppings to offer every time I visit in addition to the staples. The slices are large and the price is fair, it's a great place to carb load. 5/5 - I go quite frequently.“

“My parents in Redding ordered 7 extra large pizzas on Dec 30th - cheese, pepperoni, vegetable, and white w/chicken to feed extended family in town. All were delicious, with only a few crumbs remaining. The white and vegetable pizzas were the first to go - and fast. Thank you for a great family dinner!“

“Try the meatball parm wedge with vodka sauce and bacon! It is Amazing!!“

“Perfection in food and service was excellent and friendly service provided!!💝💝💝💝“

“We just hosted a Celebration of Life- And Walter was wonderful to work with. The food was very good and service top notch!!!!!“

“Service was great, server was very friendy. Food was tasty. And the chef knows how to cook a rare burger!“

JOE'S PIZZA: A Dispatch from New Canaan

There is a particular pleasure, gentlemen, in a restaurant that refuses to be scheduled. Joe's Pizza, on Locust Avenue since 1967, does not keep a reliable calendar — you pass by, you notice the lights are on, and you understand this as an invitation not to be declined twice.

The place was opened by Neapolitan immigrants Giuseppe and Annunziata Colella, and it remains in the family's hands under their son Lorenzo. There is no design concept at work here, no curated atmosphere — only five decades of unbroken craft, the kind that quietly earns a town's loyalty rather than announcing itself for it.

The pie itself is worth the detour. I arrived expecting the familiar New York fold — thin, pliant, gone in two bites. Joe's builds something with more conviction: a thicker crust that holds its shape under its own weight, crisped to a snap that suggests coal even where none is used. It is the mark of a kitchen that has learned to earn its char through patience rather than equipment — closer in spirit to the heavier hand of a Bronx pizzeria than the delicate fold of a downtown slice shop.

The proof of a place done right is simple: I don't wait for the drive home. A slice or two disappears standing at the counter, still too hot to be sensible, before the rest of the pie ever reaches the car.

Verdict: Five stars, without hesitation. The hours are inconvenient by design, or perhaps by nature — either way, it's part of the charm. Catch it open, eat standing up, and take the rest with you. This is what a neighborhood pizzeria is meant to be.“

“Chicken cutlet special came out fast and hot, included chips and drink for an excellent deal of $10. You don't get that kind of value anywhere close to here, and that's why they just locked me in as a customer. Lots of working people passing by on their way or to and from the next gig. Don't sleep on the convenience of this place.“

“I was just at the Muscoot Tavern lastnight and the food was sooooo good. The Service was great. I highly recommend the Muscoot Tavern!!!“

“I eat at Leo’s every week because I’m always at the rink. No matter what I order, pizza, cheeseburger, breakfast wrap it’s all good food. Great quality and very fairly priced. I ordered a bunch of food to take home to eat while we watch football and it was I ALL delicious and honestly with the amount of food i ordered I was amazed with how much I got for my money. I definitely am going to take home once a week from Leo’s.“

“This was my first time dining at Zero Otto Nove. The food was absolutely delicious. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I Highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“Rikos in Darien has truly exceeded all of my expectations! Yesterday we had our engagement party there and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

My fiancé and I originally planned for a backyard party, but the weather had other plans and we suddenly had to find a venue fast. We called Rikos and from the moment we spoke with them, they were beyond accommodating.

The staff was so attentive, welcoming, and on top of everything all day long. The food was absolutely delicious and all of our guests kept talking about how amazing everything was! They made what could have been a stressful situation feel effortless, and helped turn our day into such a special memory.

We’re so grateful to the entire team at Rikos for going above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!“

“Great local comfort food. Nico and the rest of the VL family are terrific.“

“We go there multiple times per week. Eggplant parm, chicken francese, shrimp scampi. All amazing.“

“Everything and more! This is a solid go to place 👏👏👏“

“The pizza was delicious and the service was amazing. We came with our 2 year old for a quick bite on our road trip and they cleaned off a table for us, cut our child's pizza into pieces and put Bluey on the TV without us asking for any of it. We will definitely make this choice #1 when driving through again!“

“I would recommend chicken scarpiello spaghetti al dente with tomato sauce pizza is the best.You can’t go wrong eating at Sorrento Restaurant and the owners are very very nice 👍“

“First time here, and definitely will not be the last! Great atmosphere, staff is fantastic, the food was amazing (capellini pomodoro!)! Would definitely recommend on a daily basis.“

“like the Sicilian pizza and the meatball hero.Always a friendly bunch of fellas.“
