Best pizza on the planet, nothing in NY or New Haven can beat the consistency, quality and taste of Little City Pizza. Should travel from far and wide for a pie.

Pizza is ok but the wait for it is not. I wanted to order a spinach and feta pizza at 5pm and they told me it would be ready at 7pm! I have had their regular cheese pizza and the crust is very thin. If you like thin crust pizza then you should try it.

Moved to the Hartford metro area a little over a year ago, and have begun trying lots of restaurants to try to find our favorites! In an effort to find great pizza after trying over a half dozen pizzerias, we visited Little City at someone's suggestion. We have now been there three times and so far have not been disappointed! All three times, the place was full...a good sign! Their pizza crust is a little more 'crispy' than a NY slice but in a good way, and the thickness is just right! Cheese and sauce - just the right amount according to my wife, although a little more sauce would have been more to my liking. Twice we had young kids with us (5 & 3 yrs), and upon being seated were immediately provided the usual choice of booster or high chair....and crayons with paper to keep us all busy! Clearly a child friendly restaurant. Wait staff have always been very responsive and available as needed. And food came out in a reasonable time, especially considering how busy they were. We probably pass about a dozen pizzerias on our way to Little City. We'll not only be back but this has likely become our go-to place! Enjoy!!

Wow! This is a must try place. Quite possibly the best pizza in Central Connecticut. Now I know, I'm saying a lot, but the top three pizza places in my opinion are: Modern, Sally's, and Pepe's in New Haven. Topping out the top five would be Zupardi in New Haven and Roseland in Derby. Now the great question would be what are the next five? Little City has to be #6 in Ct. The pepperoni pizza with mushrooms was simply amazing. This was true, thin style, with an excellent char on the bottom. If you are a pizza junkie like I am, this is a definite must try. I know you will hear 1 million opinions from 1 million people about best pizza in Connecticut. But New City is simply the best pizza in central Connecticut. The restaurant is clean, always friendly service, and never a parking issue. Eat the pie and then go shopping around the funky little plaza. It's a cool place.

I went to this place for the first time after seeing Dave Portnoy's review on it and honestly it stood up to the review. It was an excellent pizza. When I brought up the fact that I went there on Dave's recommendation, the owner was kind of rude and acted like she didn't know who Dave was and didn't really care and then in the same breath said he should've given them a higher score. Since then I have been back 4 other times and their pizza has been wildly inconsistent. One day it was ok and then another it was dry and overcooked. Take some pride in your product and when someone recommends your restaurant to other people be gracious and humble and don't make them regret coming.

I had a Yelp event to attend to and usually the Yelp events are forty five minutes to an hour away from my hometown, so I usually plan a day around the event since I'm driving so far. My daughter and I usually make it a culinary trip to different restaurants and to see the different parts of Connecticut. I had Little City Pizza in my bookmarks for a while and since we were going to be in town, we wanted to check it out. Little City Pizza is located in a corporate building so you have to go into the building to get to the restaurant. The restaurant has really cool art around the restaurant which was pretty cool. My daughter, my brother, and I were getting together for my daughter's birthday and upon entering, we were greeted by the host. The restaurant just opened so we were immediately seated. We ordered a large half Pepperoni and Sausage pizza. The pizza took about twenty five minutes to come out and this was a huge pizza. The sauce was so flavorful and you could taste the hint of garlic in the sauce. The pizza was crispy and the crust was very good. Very crunchy and cooked to perfection. I would have to put up there with Sally's Pizza in New Haven. Yes!! I said it!! It's almost at the par with Sally's Pizza in New Haven, Connecticut if you didn't hear me. I highly suggest taking an hour ride to get to Little City Pizza. Dave Portnoy gave Little City Pizza a 7.9 but they were definitely a 9 or 9.5 in my opinion. It was just really good pizza. The customer service was great and the staff were really pleasant and welcoming. I would definitely have to come back because I did see someone order some wings and they definitely smelled awesome.
Best thin crust pizza around. Nothing beats it in the Avon, Bristol, simsbury and southington areas. Truly delicious.

Delicious pizza with a crispy crust and fresh and plentiful toppings. Sat in the bar area and service was amazing. Very impressed by the attentive Bartender that was serving the bar and waiting tables on a busy Saturday. Food and drinks were served in a timely manner, best pizza in the area

This is a great spot to visit. The food is always quality and the drinks are great as well. The staff couldn't be more amazing. Very helpful and patient. The pizza is one of the best in the area. These folks deserve your business and patronage. Oh dont forget They have awesome pinball games. That are fun as hell !!!!!

Pizza is much improved since my last visit. I would now rate them best of the valley. Moist crust with a crispy shell very good flavor well balanced cheese and sauce. Wings are pretty good too.
Good pizza and good
