The pizza was great but the customer service was even greater.. The owner actually took the time to converse with us and to have good pizza and good customer service puts this spot high on my list of places to go period. Da prez“

“Ricotta's catering service is wonderful! We are from out of state and were organizing a Shiva lunch for family living near New Haven. Given that we only had a day to plan, time was very tight and we didn't know where to turn. Luckily, Ricotta's was recommended. Sarah was great - she was flexible, willing to deliver, arranged the food beautifully, and everything was delicious. Guests, in particular, loved the sushi, the pita sandwiches and the pastries. When visiting, we can't wait to eat at the restaurant and to hopefully use the catering service for a happier event. We highly recommend them!“

“I’ve ordered through Uber Eats multiple times and it never disappoints. Absolutely amazing New Haven style pizza! The white rabbit is my go-to with light cheese and well done. It’s thin, crispy and delicious! Love! I also must note the graphics on the pizza box are awesome. Always put a smile on my face!“

“We just used Est Pizza for my daughters graduation party. They did a fantastic job. All the workers were very pleasant, the pizza was delicious. Great amount of variety! The frozen yogurt was the best frozen I ever had. I highly recommend using Est Pizza for you next event.“

“First time there. Wanted to try a different place than our usual couple of places. Very interesting menu with a huge variety, we had to bring home 3 different pies to try, and they were great! Can’t wait to go back and try more. 🍕❤️“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“I walked here from the train station one night when my train was delayed and it was very easy to walk to from the train station. The lady behind the counter was very helpful and I wanted a chicken Parm and fries so she suggested the perfect combo that was affordable for what I wanted. She was very accommodating to my cravings and made the food to go so I could sit down and eat but take it to go if I didn't finish and needed to catch the train“

“I’m a late-comer to original Frank Pepe’s due to distance. Oh, what I have been missing! You do need to be strategic about timing because it’s very popular — because it’s exceptionally good. Fairly easy access from I-95.“

“Beautiful! Abeetz is incredible. Fabulous crew.“

“Hands down, some of the BEST pizza I’ve ever had! We ordered 2 pies (Cheese and The Max), and between the 4 of us, DESTROYED every slice! Joe has a talent that can’t be taught - you either have it, or you don’t. JOE has IT - and his Pizza Pies are his Masterpieces!“

“It's a small place but has some room for eating in. The food is quite good and I go there when I want pizza or Italian. It's location is convenient for me and it's close to YNHH. The staff are accommodating and friendly. The atmosphere for eating here is very casual, not the kind of place for large groups.“

“Every Friday after i get my kids from school, we take our family walk over to our favorite deli/snack store. the food cooked to perfection, the service is always heartwarming. As a family man, this is the type of establishment i love to treat my family to. it's worth the time and Money.“

“The party size pizza has really thin crust. And the extremely thinner parts of the crust were burnt. However, I loved the deep dark red color of the sauce and it was delicious.
Not much parking even for pick up.
It was really cold inside.
However, I'm not giving it a bad rating. I'm just not a fan of the thin crust, if I had known I wouldn't have ordered it.
I'll still willing to give another try. 😉“

“This is one of the best pizza places in the new haven area. Awsome customer services and very nice people im a regular customer now.

“Amazing White Clam Pie!
Pizza Plus is a total gem for New Haven apizza. Their white clam pie is phenomenal - perfectly garlicky, loaded with clams, and flavorful without being greasy. The crust is thin, crispy, and beautifully charred.“

“Hands down my favorite spot in New Haven! As a long-time vegan, finding fresh, high-quality food that satisfies those fast-food cravings is rare. The ladies behind the counter are amazing and make everything fresh to order. I’ve tried almost the whole vegan menu and loved every bite!

“Waiters, food and atmosphere get five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is the best (if not only) place in the New Haven, CT area to get authentic Levantine food, including / especially toum. Eating here brings me back to past vacations in Lebanon and the incredible food and company I enjoyed there; for those that prefer other cuisines, this place has you covered as well! Pizza, pasta, the full gamut of Mediterranean food!“

“I just ordered chicken tenders, but I've had their pizza, albeit years ago. As I remember, the pizza was good, and my tenders were as well. Just wanted to comment on the staff, though. These guys are so friendly, pleasant and peaceful. They make it a nice experience.“

“Hidden gem! This place was perfect. Good food and fast service. Deli style where you order at the counter and just sit at the tables and high top. Large menu. I got pizza which was thin and delish. My friend got a chicken wrap which looked amazing. Will be back!“

“Lover their pizza and always friendly when answering the phone“

“Great Pizza. Worth traveling across the state for my opinion. Couple steps above Pepe and Sally's Staff, super good steak and cheese grinder forgot about itttt.. Unbelievably good. My son cross street in the hospital , so I had the pleasure of ordering food here for the last couple days. Loved it“

“I don’t typically take the time to leave reviews for restaurants. However, their food was noteworthy!! The steak and cheese club was really good. The fries were on point, and surprisingly the coleslaw was sensational! Hidden gem for sure 👍🏾“

“I absolutely love the food and service from Avelinos. I've never been a fan of New Haven Pizza despite all the hype on it being the pizza capital of Connecticut. Don't sleep on Avelinos. They have the best chicken quesadillas, pizza, and smoothies.“

“Great customer services great food ! Thank you to Shawn and Muhammad for having our order delivered on time and straight to the location. Shawn is a great friendly and respectful business man and always there whatever the event is is he on it and on time 😊“

“Excellent Pies👍👍👍great service and friendly service“

“Best place very nice customer service“

“I absolutely love and go to no one else for their seafood salads. The carrucho (conch) and pulpo (octopus) are killersssss. Super fresh taste. A burst of flavors 🔥🔥🔥 Highly Recommended!!!“

“It is too bad these comments about customer service are so offensive. Pizza and other menu items are outstanding. I really hope these comments will not affect their business because this restaurant has been in business for 75 years with only family owners and their entire menu, what ever you decide getting is wonderful. Hopefully the owner will put a stop to this problem. Call him and ask to speak to the owner“

“I don’t recommend. We wanted to cancel so we can go inside to order instead of delivery and before even finishing he cut us off and said to cancel the order and block the number to the employee before hanging up. Not very professional honestly“
