I’ve only been once since it’s a little further from Cheshire where my in-laws live than New Haven. So when I visit, it’s usually Modern, Fuoco, Antonio’s or Sergio’s (the latter two also in Cheshire, neither anything to sneeze at) I loved it and want to go back
No.
More than a handful. More than just the pizza goes into it. Then again I don't have the super select double secret Sally's phone number either. So I may not be worthy of judging my own tastes.
LOL - Elmwood Pizza & Grinder in W. Hartford still has that old paneling PLUS an autographed poster of Oksana Baiul from her days of training in Simsbury in the '90's.
Maybe the snowbank she plowed into drunk on vodka was in front of the restaurant?
LoL.... she hit a tree in Simsbury with her Mercedes.
I've been once. The large is a big, hearty pie. Very tasty, but much thicker than New Haven style. I believe mozz and sausage is the pick here.
Lmao, this place is down the street from me. I got a grinder there when I moved back to CT 6 years ago. The old lady hit on me and the food was terrible. So this adds up
My former boss would always get the pizzas for office lunch parties there, there are a bazillion better options.
Have not tried it, but Ill be in Middletown in a couple weeks and I'll stop in. I did try Sicily and despite the negative reviews, I thought their pizza was excellent. Also made the best eggplant parmigiana sub I've ever had. I really liked that place for lunch, and it was busy in there. I can see why.
If I need a quick pie and don't want to break the bank I'd just get Bella Gourmet or Yannis. Nothing to write home about but does the job and affordable. Of course you can spend more and do better at the Pepes location, Harry's etc
Decent but not worth the drive. I would do John and Maria’s over Bobby’s if out that way
The best comparison I can give is a slightly thicker, bootleg version of Mr B’s in Cheshire.
The Harry's in Glastonbury was really good. Not sure about WH location in 2025, but I do miss the Glastonbury one, it was one of the best in the Hartford area.
Antonio the COOK/owner needs to concentrate more on being a cook and not a showman (watch his Facebook videos). The last meal I tried there was inedible due to the amount of salt in it. I'm talking easily 5X the amount of salt than normal. This has been a common complaint of several people I know who have eaten there. Not surprising after seeing how he runs the kitchen.
Yep, he's shaking everyone's hand all night and talking to everyone instead of cooking but the food was great. I've yet to have a bad meal there. The specials are incredibly expensive, they don't list the specials prices but the waitress tells you them if you ask. I was looking at a wild boar ragu special and she told me it's $80. Never order the specials unless you are okay with the price and never order appetizers because they always bring you complimentary appetizers and the entrees are enormous.
