“Always a hit for my family! It’s a favorite spot in town!Dietary restrictions: There’s something for everyone here! We do wish the GF pizza crust was dairy & egg free but we always find a way to fill everyone’s belly!Kid-friendliness: It’s a family go to for many in town!“

“I LOVE Da Vincis! I work in town & was struggling to find a place that I liked for lunch. I eat a predominantly plant based diet & love my salads. I don’t like to get take out often, I tried a salad from the pizza place across the street from them once and was quickly disappointed. My coworker then suggested that I look at Da Vincis menu & the Leonardo Salad quickly caught my eye and has since stole my heart. I was a server for many years and I always get nervous asking for substitutions. The staff was so accommodating even though I’m a pain and ask for no cheese on my salad and the addition of a bunch of veggies! From what I hear from my coworkers the rest of their menu is just as delicious including the Mac & Cheese Bites, Baked Chicken Bites, Fried Pickles and Calzones to name a few. From the staff to the food everything is AMAZING! Every Friday I look forward to getting my salad from here“

“Absolutely the best pizza I have ever had, these guys and girls know their stuff, if you love pizza then go here to meet your pizza soul mate because you will be in heaven with the first bite...!!Kid-friendliness: We brought our grand child there his name is Otto and they gave him a free t shirt ...who does that these days ....?“

“I come for the gyro and bacon cheeseburger platters; not a fan of Greek-style pizza (Neopolitan all the way!). Besides a couple minor order glitches, I've always been pleased with the friendly and attentive service, food quality, flavor, freshness, portions and price. I've only been there at pretty quiet times, but there's constant take-out foot traffic regardless of when I go, which is a good sign in my book.“

“Super impressed with the food, and our waiter, Troy, was engaging, attentive, and super responsive to our requests. Great option for an affordable mid-week meal or a fancy weekend date. Food was very fresh and deeeeeeee-licious! I can see this becoming a very regular foray for me.“

“Five professional motor cycle riders who eat in a lot of food at different stops were very satisfied. Great prices/ great quality/ good quantity/fast service/ great waitress/ clean modern seating and restrooms/ ample free parking. Its now on our favorite list. Thank you for serving us so well!!“

“Stopped there today for lunch after hiking. Will definitely be going back when we are in the area. We had a Delicious Italian grinder and southwest chicken wrap with large plate of fries! Very friendly staff and nice place for lunch! Very full when we left for our next hike!“

“AJ's is a local gem nestled in the center of a plaza right off the main road in Higganum. For those of you traveling back from the beach in the summer, it's a winner. For me, I wanted to visit a new town in CT and pick a place to eat. I'm glad I chose AJ's. When you walk in the main section is set up for takeout with a plexiglass view behind the counter where the pizza is made. To the right is the main seating area if you are choosing to dine in. The seating is casual and has a home like an American diner vibe. If you are looking for good Italian at good price, AJ's is your place. Their menu contains all your standard Italian dishes for dine in and takeout as well as pizza and grinders. The menu is a two-sided page, and there is a separate special sheet given as well. Although I love me some standard Italian dishes, after reading some reviews, I knew that was either going for their grinders or taking a chance on their specials. Welp folks, special it was. They had 3 that week, and I chose to try their Chicken Andouille. This dish consisted of a creamy sauce with chicken, Andouille sausage, capers, and squash mixed into penne pasta. Wow. Delicious. The spicy kick to the sausage gave it a creamy heat, and I loved the nice touch of capers and crunchiness of the squash. The squash was cooked but not overcooked (sometimes it can get mushy, but not the case here). When we went today, the inside was quiet. Just a few tables had people. That's okay with me. It allows me to relax a bit as I eat and enjoy the food. The server was great. She was all smiles and bringing us everything in a timely fashion. If you are driving through Higganum and need a place to grab a lunch or dinner at a reasonable price, check out AJs. You won't regret it.“

“Greeted so pleasantly the second we walked in. Seated right away. Delicious garlic knots! Amazing service from start to finish. We got a salad and a wrap, and it was just what we were craving! Finished up with some tea/coffee and cheesecake. Overall really wonderful experience, will definitely be returning!“

“? GET A BURRITO ?Alright, here’s the deal. I’m a gigantic shill for DRP, all my friends know it. Something about their pizza does it for me, favorite style, super well done for that particular style, and it’s relatively affordable.I also love their subs, all of them. Shout out to the steak bomb and the TKO (chicken bacon ranch, honey mustard, mozzarella).They’re quick, the people are always SUPER SUPER SUPER friendly, and food comes out hot.But here’s the deal… they need a rebrand.I’ve seen burritos on the menu there for years and never thought to get one. With that said, nothing about this place screams “Greek” to me besides the font on the menu and the Ακρόπολις on the logo (alright maybe a few of the specialty pizzas - moussaka and town hall, I see you. Gyros, ολα εν ταξη, relax.)Tonight I finally did it, I got the carne asada burrito that they had on special and it blew my socks off. For $12 (market rate for the area IMO) you get a huge burrito, wrapped and easy to eat, no dripping, they grilled it, tons of steak and avocado. Man oh man, it hit the spot and I’m just so happy I could cry.Deep River Pizza Mexican. I don’t know if anyone that works there is Mexican, I don’t know if burritos are inherently Mexican, I don’t know what I don’t know and I want to be better.What I do know is that people need to know about this.Chester, Deep River, Essex is grossly devoid of a Mexican spot that’s open late BUT this is at least maybe Mexican adjacent and open late enough for me (9 pm weekdays, 10pm weekends).Get down to Deep River Pizza (Mexican?) and get yourself a burrito. You’re going to be mad that nobody told you to do it before.I am thrilled.?Parking: Learn to parallel park in beautiful Deep River!Kid-friendliness: Bring your kids, it’s a casual pizza place.Wheelchair accessibility: Once you get on the sidewalk, which is accessible, the door is flush.“

“The BEST spicy Buffalo chicken pizza!! We had to do 1/2 cheese because of my kids.I loved the Tuscana salad w/ the Asiago cheese dressing. Everything was so delicious!! Staff was very nice and accommodating, we hardly had a wait for the pizza. Birch beer was yummy too!Kid-friendliness: our kids loved the cheese pizzaParking: if it gets too crowded, there is a grocery store nearby w/ plenty of parking. ?“

“Moodus DaVinci - Okay, as if I haven't spammed the internet enough already about this place, I HAVE to post about my wrap. I got the Chipotle Steak wrap. It was a decent size portion. I saved half for lunch today. The best part? it was JUST as delicious upon reheat as it was last night!!! it wasn't soggy. It did not fall apart. Most importantly, it was so so good!!! There's nothing I would have added or taken away. I can't wait to get it again! Since I haven't left a review on this page specifically yet, I'll add that the wings here are phenomenal!! There's many kinds but garlic parm is my fav. So, if you're looking for a good wing spot in this neck of the woods - look no further!“

“Tried Georgias for the first time the other night, was looking for a new pizza place to try and decided to try here. Let me start by saying that the selection of pizzas is unmatchable, especially if looking for flavors that might be out of the norm! We tried to Reuben pizza and the loaded French fry pizza and had a hard time deciding which was better- they were both that good! The service is impeccable, we had asked for a side of ranch and it was forgotten, but a server ran out before we left the parking lot to give to us before we left with our pizzas! This will be our new go to pizza place, and we are looking forward to trying more flavors and other options of food as well!“

“Outstanding pizza !! 45 years Enjoying World Renowned New Haven Pizza as a comparison and without hesitation imoDa Vinci has mastered the thin crust with a variety of incredible pies - They also offer Foxon Park soda another Ct classic !!You must try this hidden gem !!“

“AMAZING!!!!!! This place and its service is awesome.I have been back more times than I can count and have NEVER had a bad meal. The servers are all friendly and willing to go out of their way to make your visit memorable. They have weekly specials that constantly change so its new and refreshing every time.“

“Even if the food was terrible, I'd give them 3 stars for the AMAZING service. Their people are efficient and entertaining. The food is good, especially the desserts! There's a fridge near the front filled with a selections of desserts you cannot say no to! Dine in or take out, they make a really good meal that's worth a visit!“

“I must confess..... I have never eaten at Dino's. It just so happens that my neighbors are the owners. I have had the opportunity to try their pizza and other things and I must say it is delicious. Gus and Stella are great at what they do, and they are generous people. I am beyond grateful for the meals they provided after my dad passed unexpectedly (the neighborhood is still stunned) so my family and I could focus on arranging the funeral and mourning my dad's death in peace.“

“I recently started getting pizza here every Friday, the pizza here is delicious I get the white spinach and have never had a better white pizza so fresh and the garlic and spinach perfect, my boyfriend got the bacon pizza and it was perfect also, they crumbled the bacon and there was a generous amount of bacon everything hot and fresh!!“

“Great pizza, awesome bar with plenty of local beers to choose from. Don't expect a quiet sit-down though, the tables are right next to the pickleball court.Parking: Big lotKid-friendliness: Yeah it's a bar, but it's very chill, and most people are cool with kids being there.“

“My husband and I have been getting pizza from Rossini's for years. Their vegetarian pizza is loaded with veggies. They have never been skimpy on their toppings like so many places are. Their generous toppings go right to the edge. We have never found it greasy. It is a bit of a drive for us so we do not get there as often as we would like. It is our very favorite pizza! We also get the eggplant calzone. The Calzone is not all dough. It has a thin crust and is loaded with ricotta, mozzarella and eggplant. They also provide a container of sauce. The staff is always friendly and professional. Love Rossini's! Best pizza ever!“
