This literally has been my favorite local (northwest corner) pizza place for many decades. Not sure what has changed but the pizza is much thinner than usual (but still Greek style yum) the thinner texture was not pleasant to me. But maybe that's the current style idk. Lastly the cheese felt and tasted blended with real cheese and imitation. read more

First time here and pizza was delicious! Ordered a small mushroom pizza and was not disappointed! Staff here made pizza super fast!

Clean restaurant. read more

I am a sucker for small town businesses. I romanticize the allure of neon restaurant signs. I really really loved the people working. All of the above made me so happy. But I really really can't get into Greek-style pizza. I'm sorry. I can't - even here, where it's the BEST example of Greek pizza I've tried. But, just like I say to Chicago deep-dishers, I die a little on the inside when I need a fork and knife to eat pizza. It was sloppy and over topped - yet didn't taste like much. New Jersey bias, yes. New Haven style acolyte, guilty as charged. I own my biases. If you feel differently from me you may LOVE this place. But for me, I'm glad I tried it. One star for the staff and another for the neon sign. I'm sorry. It's not you, it's me. read more

Consistently great pizza! Staff is always friendly. We usually get take out, but they do have tables for dining in. It's cozy inside, so if you have a large party, plan ahead. Definitely recommend! read more

A little gem hidden in the Litchfield Hills. Okay, so it's not that hidden, sitting right on Route 202 in the closest thing that area has to a city. The Greek-style pizza is worth stopping into this quaint and nondescript little restaurant. Service is quick and the kitchen wastes little time. The server will rush you ice water or a soda from the case, take your order, and quickly get a pizza on your table. Even the little things, like keeping the grated cheese in the refrigerator or putting ingredients on half or on the side if asked, don't go unnoticed. read more

Bantam Pizza & Restaurant - The namesake Bantam Pizza. At my partner's absolute disgust, the anchovies were kept separate, far away from her nose. - Pizza Near Me - Litchfield, Connecticut

I was cruising down Rt202 the other day with a bad hankering for a slice of pizza. I spot the sign for Bantam Pizza, and it states, "Pizza by the Slice". Dang, it must be my lucky day ! Unfortunately, the slice I was served was Greek style (which is hard to find, "by the slice"). I'm not partial to Greek style, it's a dry crust with a spongy undercarriage. Greasy too, with flavorless sauce. In a state renowned for its pizza, I don't understand how these Greek places stay in business, but they do. The slice I received at Bantam Pizza was the typical Greek style I dislike. Basically on the level of Gas station pizza. Blah. Owner was a humorous guy, but that doesn't make up for lousy pizza. Sorry. read more

This restaurant is five stars for it's location to our campground and the friendliness of the staff! We ordered a medium Clams Casino pizza, the toppings were absolutely delicious, but the crust was mediocre at best. We also ordered a Gyro with fries, the Gyro meat was premade and heated up for the sandwich, the fries were crinkle fries that were already seasoned with salt and pepper. Drinks come in cans or Snapple bottles. They do serve beer & wine too. I also think they sell pizza by the slice and hot sandwich's as well. For convenience if your camping and looking not to cook and a family friendly spot, this is the place for you. read more

I've driven by Bantam Pizza for years, and I think before this only stopped once. It's a cute exterior, it clearly used to be a house with a big front porch. The restaurant has a front and side entrance, although the side opens into the table area and looks a little cramped. The front you have more space to take it in. It still looks homey, with a pizza counter in the back of the "sitting room". The menu is pretty big with selections. I ultimately chose a steak sandwich, which had meat that was well seasoned. The cheese ratio was pretty good for this part of the country, and the bread was fresh. The mozzarella sticks were exactly what you think they are, and a little oily. My poor shirt suffered. The Oreo cake was not made in house, but so creamy and chocolately, who cares? The waitress was really friendly despite multitasking while she worked. Check on a table, then unload a box of soda. Check on tables, bring something to the basement. Her speed and good cheer throughout was impressive. It was good food and a good experience! read more

Amazing pizza, good salad, super friendly service. "Dive-y" ambiance but totally in line with small, private pizza shop

The Greek style pizza was good and the waitress was quite friendly. The prices were fair too. You can't go wrong here.

Bantam pizza is amazing! The service is fantastic, the employees are very nice, and the gluten free pizza is delicious! I recommend it to everyone! read more

Bantam pizza was pretty good. It reminded me of Costco pizza. It's Greek style with a fluffy crust, and a copious amount of cheese. The sauce was pretty good, overall a pretty good slice. read more

The waitress was rude. She got the order wrong but insisted we ordered wrong. Food is overpriced and just ok. They charge for to go containers. Won't go back. read more

Absolutely amazing service, everyone is so nice and does their best to provide perfect suggestions and create a lovely experience. The restaurant has plenty of coding seating options, and each table has all of the perfect condiments available. The food is also outstanding each time we go, especially the pizza. It's some of the most nostalgic and tasty pizza you can get, and there's so much variety! read more

Nice place to grab a quick meal. We did not get pizza but had a nice Mayela anyway. I had the gyro which was in nice pita bread with plenty of tsiki, the fries it came with were piping hot. Really nice version of this dish as it should be as it was billed as one of the specialties. The wife had the raviolis with were really good and came with a nice salad and garlic bread. The service was good and very fast. read more

I came to visit family and wanted to get a pizza. This place had friendly people and I like how fast we were able to get the food. We ordered 2 large pizzas and they were great. It was cooked perfectly for me and don't have anything bad to say about them. Definable a place to stop by when Visiting or passing by. read more

I got garden salad with oil & vinegar dressing. My husband got a gyro, my daughter got the chicken park grinder. My sons split a meatball / sausage pizza , while my husband and I shared a meat lovers pizza. We also got garlic bread parmigiana, everyone fought over that!!! Our waitress was very nice and funny. The service was fast and if we asked for anything they had it. My husband and I said the place reminded us of the pizza places we grew up going to as kids in the 80's. So cozy and loved all the pictures on the walls. Definitely coming back here. Our kids are still asking for leftovers!!? read more

Greek style pizza. Nice little place. You can see the kitchen in front of you. Staff was nice and if greek pizza is your thing then you will definitely enjoy the place. This reminds me of a place you would see in most small New England towns old house turned into a business. Easy parking and good quick service . read more

Pizza that makes both a kid and a NYC pizza snob very happy. What more could you ask for? Add reasonable prices and great salads and friendly efficient carry out service and you have a winner read more

Great pizza with classic pizzeria vibe. We always order pies or slices with a couple glasses of wine. Highly recommend for casual night out!

Will never go here again after going for MANY years. Ordered for a girl scout event and the woman was very rude. $100 for two pizzas and a tray of salad. Kind of sad because I do like their pizza. read more

Great antipasto salad and pizza. Only use takeout so can't comment on ambiance and service read more

I don't know how you could make a better pizza than at Bantam Pizza. Over the years, its fresh and scrumptious ingredients have been consistently outstanding. They got us through the pandemic and they are more popular than ever. Long may they wave! read more

My husband and I came here by a suggestion from a friend and also because my husband drives by it daily on his work route. We came for lunch. Had a salad and small onion and bacon pizza. It was delicious!! Very casual small dining area. Had paper plates and cups but that was fine with us. Price was reasonable. We will definitely be back in the future! read more

The food here is soooooo good. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to pizza, but I really like the pizza here. Perfect amount of bread, sauce, and cheese & not greasy at all. We also tried the steak and cheese grinder, which is pretty much a cheese burger in a hero. The bread was super fresh, the lettuce was very finely chopped, and they put a good amount of meat in. They have indoor seating, outdoor seating, & takeout. Thankfully the staff was very nice, too. Very casual here, just like any other pizza place. Decided to take our food to go, and everything was made to order correctly and quickly. Def looking forward to some more pizza the next time I'm in town. read more

Great pizza in a no-frills environment! I love that this place is very low key, but the service was extremely fast (our pizza was ready at our table ~10 minutes after we ordered), and our waitress was super friendly. Lots of menu options for the whole family too. read more

Bantam Pizza & Restaurant - Large onion pizza with extra sauce - Pizza Near Me - Litchfield, Connecticut

Easy, quick, and friendly. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat and want predictably, this little place in Bantam is right for you. The house dressing was delicious so we always ask for extra to use for salads later on in the week. read more

One of the best pizza restaurant in Bantam. Reliable and located not far from the lake. You can buy a single slice and the pasta is good. read more

I went to a Macedonia Park and worked up an appetite and was craving some pizza. Happy to see this place on way home. The signs outside advertised pizza by slice. Unfortunately they ran out so I ordered a small. It came out fast and was good. I ordered a small basil and tomatoes and it was topped with so many tomatoes. The crust was good not too thin or thick. It could serve two or you probably still have left over depending on how hungry you are. Two downsides the pizza probably could have stayed in overn a few mins longer and the sauce was not to my liking read more

The best pizza in CT! Everything about their pizza is spectacular: the sauce, the crust, the cheese, the toppings, all fantastic! The smell alone is enough to make your mouth water, but don't eat it too quickly or you'll get burned! read more

Take this review with a grain of salt as I am deep into pizza. I bake bread. I make my own dough. I worked in a Neapolitan pizza joint. The pizza at Bantam is a step above Stouffers. You know.....the dough has no chew to it. Very little flavor or structure. Just a big cracker for toppings. And I get why people like it. My wife and I are sometimes in the mood to eat something cheesy and gooey and not too fussy. Bantam Pizza can fit the bill. The prices are good. And if you're not fussy about what you eat, I'd imagine that you'd find it quite pleasing. However, the chicken parmesan grinder is unappetizing and sloppy. No love in that. The freezer-burned chicken patty from Tyson(?) was 80% disgusting breading with a white chicken layer. Topped with something that tasted like ketchup. read more

I moved to Bantam from New Milford two months ago. I called out for pick up orders to Bantam Pizza for no other reason than because they were very close to me and convenient. However, in the last 2 months I have become a fan. The pasta is excellent. The pizza is excellent. The service is above and beyond amazing. I am moving back to New Milford next week. I will miss Bantam Pizza. read more

Best pizza ever ! Get the 'Bantam' pizza (hold the black olives and anchovies, for me) Quality- no fork necessary because they know how to make a pizza pie to hold sat outside on a beautiful day read more

Great pizza, great atmosphere, great staff! It's a great place to grab some pizza and either eat in or grab to go. Feels like a proud local place and authentic. read more

This place doesn't look like much but the pizza is some of the best in Connecticut. It's a thicker crust than you normally find in the state - perfect for a transplanted midwesterner. The toppings were tasty and the service quick. If you're around Litchfield this place is worth a visit. read more

I'm not sure 2 stars is acceptable. Granted I haven't been here in a few months but its known for its not so wonderful food.... the point where the kids yell it from the back when we drive by. I wish I could say different because we could use good pizza everywhere out here. read more

Understaffed and with an attitude. Don't come with an appetite because they can't even just "get you a slice". Plus you can have any type of pizza you want as long as it's cheese. Can't even put mushrooms on a slice (to accommodate a child). #Assholes read more

We just stopped here on our way home from Kent Falls.. Cute place very small and quite. We ordered a large pizza and fries. The pizza come out probb like ten mins after we ordered it, which I was really impressed with. Good pizza a lot of cheese. The waitress was nice. I would probably end up going again to try their grinders if I'm in the area. read more

Great food, not so great atmosphere. Waitress and lady at counter were very friendly and made us feel welcome. However it also seems like they were walking on egg shells from the manager/owner. Overall, I really like this restaurant but it seems like the staff is always under extreme pressure and stress. read more

Bantam Pizza has some pretty amazing "pizza joint" fare at pretty reasonable prices. Getting a fresh deep dish pizza or a toasted grinder here will not disappoint. Their soups and specials are always good. The wait staff is friendly, helpful and extremely attentive to anything you want or need if you decide to dine in the recently renovated and very clean restaurant interior (though for many the smaller size makes it a take-out only zone). But what I have come here to tell you all is that the salads are AMAZING. Their house salad dressing is the stuff of dreams. Its creamy, herby, and sent from God himself. When you order a chef salad and mix the house dressing in with all the cheese, cold cuts, and fresh veggies, you are transported to another world. It also tastes divine for pizza crust dipping so order an extra! Seriously I lived in Boston for 8 years and ate at thousands restaurants from 1 to 5 stars but I never, NEVER had a salad dressing as delicious as the house dressing from Bantam Pizza. I think it might have some sort of magic in it. read more
