I was disappointed. This pizza was not good. I was so disappointed with the bread of the pizza. It literally tasted like I was eating cardboard. I saw such great reviews online was so excited to try this pizza not interested in going back. Medium pie $26. read more

Friendly establishment located on the southbound side of Rt25 with plenty of parking. One of the few places where a large pizza can feed a small family. Love that they are family friendly and hospitable. This is a cozy and no frills place, their speciality is good pizza and good service. Free refills on fountain drinks. You can have practically any toppings on a pizza, Stern special was delicious! In an area of many pizza places, this is the one I look forward to coming back to over and over again. read more

We ordered a pizza at 7 We paid 66 dollars to Grub Hub to have it delivered.At 8:30 we called Carminuccio's to see where this precious pizza might be. They told us there was no record of any such order. They were firm no order had been placed by us. At 8:35 Jay left the order on our doorstep. He didn't ring the bell, he just put it there. IF YOU WANT COLD PIZZA served with a side of arrogance, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU read more

Great local slices! Be prepared the slices are huge! Outside of Modern and hitting up New Haven it's the best in Newtown. The stuffed breads are good too. It's small inside and more of a take out for me or eat on the patio if it's nice outside. No downside here read more

This was our first time at Carminuccio's Pizza. I'm originally from NYC where you can get some of the best tasting pizza around but I have to admit this pizza was absolutely amazing. Super friendly staff, very clean seating area and bathrooms. What's more besides tasting so good, they're gigantic!! Like having two slices in one. We also ordered chicken and beef wraps which also were delicious. Just a quick FYI; when ordering wraps be prepared to wait half hour. A bit of a bummer in my opinion. Oh there's plenty of parking. Thumbs up for that. NYC has some serious competition lol. Definitely recommend and yes we'll absolutely going back for more. read more

We stopped off here to grab a snack during a drive from NY to RI. New England has a bunch of good shit but pizza is not one of them, I figured we might as well take advantage of our last opportunity to eat decent pizza for a few weeks. They have interesting options that don't necessarily appeal to me as a vegetarian that doesn't eat mushrooms or onions but GF was super excited to see clams casino slices for sale. I ordered a standard pizza slice. The first thing you'll notice is that the slices are fucking GIGANTIC. There are few pleasures in life like being served a mammoth of a pizza slice. As far as my cheese goes, the crust was thin and what you would expect from a NY-style pizzeria. The sauce was lacking somewhat in flavor but the usual suspect seasoning agents were within arm's reach. The clams casino pizza must have had an entire ocean's worth of clams on it. I've never seen so many clams in my life. Despite being the human equivalent of a dyson clam vacuum, GF actually couldn't eat all of the clams because there were just that many. That's really saying something. Quality is decent but quantity is really the win here. read more

Carminuccio's Pizza - Cheese and Clams Casino - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

i've refused to get pizza anywhere else for years, thanks to them. their big oven flavor is unbeatable read more

One of the best pizza places I've eaten at outside of New Haven. Since I teach in Newtown, we get our weekly pizza from Carminuccio's. We always get 1/2 sausage or pepperoni and they really load it up! Service is always pleasant and they are timely. My only "wish" was a little bit of a salad variety... but absolutely NOT a deal breaker! read more

What a find!! Tried 2 pizzas there last night- the Prosciutto Special ( mozzarella, prosciutto, sweet peas and onion) and the Mrs B's Special! ( mozzarella, crumbled sausage, prosciutto and caramelized onions) The flavors in each of these pies were fantastic. The sauce on the prosciutto special was very tasty and the pies and onions added a nice touch. Definitely try the Mrs Bs pie- we thoroughly enjoyed that one! read more

Ok place The worker was very friendly Pizza was decent average pizza And I'm know I'll be in the minority but the slices are wwayyyyyy too big 2 slices seemed like 1/2 a pie It was $5 a slice So 2 slices and a tea was $15 Too much for me read more

Get the small pie it's always the best. Simple pizza done well. The calzones are also good. Great neighborhood spot!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would...You can order individual pizza slices that are huge (great for people with big appetites) & you can put whatever you want on them. I mean completely loaded if you want. We ordered 2 individual slices and had plenty to bring home for leftovers. The place is small inside but they do have a patio and the staff is very accommodating. They have also been written up by a few different places for the pizza which also gave them fantastic reviews. Definitely would go back!!! read more

The Staff at Carminuccio's are very friendly and pizza isn't bad. I have been here a few times, the most recent being with a large group of people. The main issue I had was the seating. The setup is a bit odd. You order inside and then (usually) you go outside to eat. However if the weather is not good you have to eat inside. That is what we did. But there are only a few tables inside and it was sort of cramped. It was also kind of a bit to warm inside. It was not a comfortable experience. So dining here when it's cold out or rainy is a challenge. Because of the above mentioned reasons, I wouldn't really choose this as my first place to eat. However the staff couldn't be friendlier and it's great on a warm (but not humid) summer's day. There is plenty of room outside. At the end of the day I feel this place is better as a to go or dine outside place. read more

Carminuccio's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

Ordered a margarita pizza and a sausage bread. My pizza was good, always enjoy the pizza here. The sausage bread on the other hand wasn't great. We thought we were getting a traditional sausage bread with just sausage and cheese. They don't tell you that their sausage bread is loaded with peppers. There were so many peppers that it made the bread soggy and completely fall apart. Disappointed and ended up just throwing the entire bread in the trash. read more

Jesus Christ, look at these slices! I had no idea what to expect but man, was I pleasantly surprised! Pizza is great; tastes like your standard New York slice, but the size is what sets them apart! Highly recommend, thanks! read more

Carminuccio's Pizza - 2 slices which are almost the size of a regular whole pizza! Wow! - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

This was my first time here and I was very impressed with Carminuccio's. The food is great! Here the rundown: Ambiance and format: It's small, but there's outdoor seating in warmer weather. Inside, it's crowded and there are only about 8 tables, accommodating around 20 diners. Upon entering, you're very quickly greeted by one of a half dozen young girls who work the counter and the tables. You order from the counter. They bring your order to your table. Not sure when or where exactly you're supposed to pay -- we paid after we ate -- at the counter. It all seemed a little unorganized. But the real reason to go here is the Food: classic Italian pizzarria food -- to the highest standard. The pizza is crisp, semi-thin and cooked to perfection. The ingredients are fresh, rich and tasty. We had the eggplant pizza #18 on the menu. It included breaded fried eggplant, basil, roasted tomatoes. Incredible! The roasting of the tomatoes brings out the sweetness in the tomatoes. Truly delicious. And prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Carminuccio's. read more

Best Italian pizza in town. But bring your wallet. Primarily a takeout joint in the winter but summertime allows for patio dining and there are tables inside. Entrees and dinners available are also made fresh and are excellent. It's a regular for me but pricy so more of a treat. read more

I am told I am a very picky person when it comes to take out pizza! One of my favorites is Tybee Island Pizza in Georgia so you can imagine I don't get that too often. So to my total surprise the other night at my daughter's in Newtown another fabulously delicious Pizza came my way. The "Eggplant Special" With red sauce,mozzarella,egg battered eggplant,roasted tomatoes, minced garlic and fresh basil. This pizza is life changing. The roasted tomatoes taste so intense and are perfection. There is just enough of everything to complement and not overwhelm. It's a fine dance of tastes on the palette. I live in Norwalk but will plan on having this pizza as often as I can!!!! I highly recommend this absolute delight! read more

Great tasting pizza and salads. Was displaced from our home in Ridgefield and rented nearby. Ended up eating 4/8 nights from this place. Very good. read more

I have been here a few times and LOVE IT! The food is great. The girls at the front were so helpful. The dining section is on the small side but this is a great old school Italian pizza shop. Thin crust pizza....i could eat a whole pie to myself haha!!! I definitely recommend. read more

Average pizza and way over priced. Chicken fingers are gross and had to be thrown out.

Delicious slice of pizza. I added roasted garlic cloves. Perfection! Worth a detour on your journey north.

For the following that they have & as busy as they get I must say - these guys are FAST! They can grind out some pies! So the fact that you don't wait for what feels like eternity to get your pie is a big plus. These pies remind me of old school pizza parlor pies. Not New York-style. Not Naples style. Not New Haven style either. The crust's edge is like cracker crispy & crunchy. The pie is thin & the interior of the the dough is foldable but not under done. No char or corn meal. The tomato sauce is sparse- I would have preferred more as it was tangy & cooked perfectly just not enough of it. The mozzarella is buttery w just the right amount of salt. We had the clams casino -which is white- which comes w sweet red peppers & chunks of onions- didn't like that but added bacon- which I was told was excellent quality, not too salty. Ample toppings. Clams were tender. I had the eggplant. Thin fried squares were good w a creamy texture & not oily. I really wanted more sauce. I anticipated more flavor. The service is super friendly, no attitude, happy to serve & the prices are very good. The variety to the menu is just right & doesn't go over board cramming all the Average Italian American items in "just bcz" but offers what most of us want/crave/expect. All in all though this pie isn't for me. See my Pizza List ;) read more

Carminuccio's Pizza - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

Bland pizza with no soul. The crust is tasteless and airy like Greek "pizza". The interior is old and obviously no one cares about the customer experience. Old furniture and old paint with cardboard boxes filling in the extra space. Nice and harsh fluorescent lighting and dirty vinyl floors. They have several NY Post newspapers for your reading enjoyment. Assuming you like reading about how wonderful Trump and Ghouliani are. Drink selections are basic and sugar filled. This place is a dump. read more

I had their pizza 3 times, very good even cold. I detracted a star only because it tastes a bit too salty. Overall a very good Pizza

Back again tonight on a very busy and boisterous night... There is reason this place hopping ... simply put the best pizza in town and maybe all the way down to NYC. Ordered some Mozzarella sticks as well .... did not disappoint. Newtown is lucky to have this place.... don't miss it ! read more

Yes! This is what Connecticut pizza is about!! It's a small place but the pizza is fantastic! I brought my little nephews here and we all loved it! read more

Always delicious and fun. A little pizza 'joint' that never disappoints!! The patio is great during the late Spring yo early fall...it's a nice outdoor corner set alongside the building. We always have at least one pizza and sometimes a sub to share... salads are okay but the real attraction is the thin crust pizza and the delicious toppings! Subs/grinders are awesome too!! If you love a friendly, neighborhood pizza place... you won't be disappointed. Family friendly, quick and friendly staff make it one of our favorites! read more

I don't like writing reviews but this one was deserving. I'll start by saying the staff was very friendly. The pizza, not so much. Not only was it flavorless but it came with a hefty price tag. I purchased three slices. Two cheese and one with mushrooms and spinach. Can someone please explain to me why my total was almost $17?! I mean I could understand if I lived in Beverly Hills. At that price, gold flakes should adorn it. I paid my fine, I mean fare, and chose optimism. If you're a family on a budget stay away. If you enjoy flavorful food, stay away. If you have Covid and want something expensive then this is place for you! You've been warned! read more

Their pizza is AMAZING....that's all one can say.....Yes, they have grinders and stuffed breads and even some salads, but, the pizza is unlike any other. Oh, staff is sooo nice....bring cash so you can leave a tip read more

Awesome pizza, great staff supporting our community with curbside pick up during some tuff Covid-19 times. Thank you.

Pizza is amazing and the service is great! Offering curbside service during the pandemic!

Totally love their thin crust pizza. Place is tiny but pizza is awesome. We do take out or order in a lot. They also will do special order without cheese due to allergy. Worth the trip to get a good pie! read more

Probably the best pizza in Newtown. Didn't care much for the clam pie (can't compare to New Haven standards), but good place to stop and grab a slice. Also, outdoor seating and BYOB big plus. I'd like to see more places set up outdoor seating. read more

Great pizza, great service. They have so many options for pies and are happy to make whatever creation if they have the ingredients to make for you. If you want to dine in but don't want to wait to place your order you can call in for "dine in" and they place your order ahead of time so when you get there with a big party your food is almost ready to come out. They have outdoor seating in the summer which is great and you can bring your dogs. They always have a BYOB which is awesome!! Highly recommend!! read more

I am a pizza snob and I'm getting tired of sub par pizza in the Danbury area. I'm not a fan of the charred or burnt crust wood fired pizza fad that has overtaken the pizza scene. I like traditional thin crust pizza with quality cheese and sauce that doesn't look like paste and chunks. If you're like me you will really appreciate Carmanuccios pizza. They have excellent pizza, likely the best around with quality cheese and tasty sauce with a crust that will make you finish every last bite. Go, eat, repeat. read more

Carminuccio's motto is "A Little Slice of Heaven." They lied, in a very good way. Actually, their slices are HUGE, and oh so good. The best pizza I have ever had has been in Long Island, NY, but Carminuccio's is right up there...Living in CT for a short time, I was amazed at how great the pizza was there. Not surprising I guess since it borders NY. Carminuccio's is located on Hwy 25 in a house. Nothing exciting to look at from the inside. Order counter, tables, and some beautiful desserts and breads on display in a case near the back. But looks can be deceiving. Out of this place comes some of the best pizza I've ever tasted. I have had many types of pizza there, stuffed breads, sub sandwiches, and of course several dessert selections. At Carminuccio's the pizza toppings are extensive. Some include: caramelized roasted garlic cloves, roasted tomatoes, pesto sauce, spinach, escarole & beans, barbecued chicken, and bacon. The pizzas are made to order right in front of you. The dough is stretched thin, the toppings added liberally, and the pizza is slid into the oven. 10 minutes later, you'll take a bite even though it is super hot, and it won't matter. It's worth the burn...The crust is thin and crunchy, and oh so addictive. Oh Carminuccio's, how I love you :) read more

Not the best pizza in Connecticut folks. Don't believe the hype. Just regular pizza made by teenagers. Best pizza in Ct. No way. If the do have an award it was paid for. Just plain boring pizza. read more
