Their stuffed spinach bread is the best I've had outside of my grandmothers and mother who are both born in italy. We bought it a few weeks ago and put it in the freezer and it reheated perfectly. I was so shocked at how delicious it was and how well prepared it was . We go here a lot but I've never had their stuffed bread I guess. The spinach was cut up, lightly oiled and seasoned to perfection. Delizioso!! We've also gotten food trays here and it was outstanding . Looking forward to more stuffed breads! My husband likes the pizza and my son loves their ​ vodka sauce and meatballs too read more

I visited Catapanzas by chance. It's very cozy inside small but nice . We ordered the sausage and peppers appetizer delicious and then we got the ricotta roasted peppers and meatballs pizza . It was amazing. The owner was telling about the ingredients etc she was the sweetest. Definitely making the trip back out there soon . Enjoy Chris M read more

Good, not great. We tried a few pizzas today when visiting family in Guilford and thought we missed out by not trying this spot sooner based on their barstool review. It was good but didn't blow us away like we hoped. Ability to order online was a plus! Good thin crust pizza, feels NY style to me which hit the spot. read more

Food Only review - great pizza a bit salty We ordered takeout pizza from Carpanzano's. We ordered a simple large pepperoni pizza with red sauce. Crust is crispy and thin, the sauce nicely flavored with oregano and garlic flavors, the pepperoni was cupped and the cheese nicely layered. All in all, a really good pizza. The only issue was the pizza was very salty. Size of a large pizza is plenty adequate to feed four for dinner. This pizzeria does have a few booths for those who wish to dine in, but it's far better suited for takeout. Takeout service is friendly. If in the mood for pizza, give this place a try. Thanks read more

Best authentic Italian food on the shoreline. I felt like I was in Italy. The pizza is delicious

First let me preface this by saying I believe the taste of their food and pizza to be top notch. However, I have had such problems with orders there. 1 order? They sent the totally wrong pizzas. Another order? Was covered in mushrooms. We hate mushrooms. I called and the man asked me if I wanted to pick them off, I said no, he clearly was not happy, when I returned to pick up the correct pizza, I brought the incorrect pizza back. He comes out from the back, still angry and says "why did you bring that garbage in here I don't want it," takes it and slams it in the garbage, I almost walked out but said nothing. We did not use them for over a year. Tonight I call and place an order for 2 pizzas. The young woman takes the order and repeats it back correctly and says 75 min, I tell her no problem. Go to pick it up? She only told them to make one of them. So the other pizza is cold by the time the second one is made, I'm sorry, but I just cannot recommend this place. When the order is right, it's great. But when it's wrong it's a bad experience, Attitude & anger may not be on the menu, but you still get them. read more

We had a varied experience here, generally all good. The olive and anchovies pizza was excellent. So were the meatballs. The chicken parmigiana was very good. Plenty of red sauce for both entrees. Service was also excellent. Big mark against it, which is hard to correct, is that it has a strong take out business. On our cold night out, the constant opening and closing of the front door let in so much cold air, we had to eat with our coats on and we were still quite chilled. Choose a warmer night and wear a sweater in the winter. read more

Our lovely server Maeve took such good care of us, the pizza was fresh and hot. Wonderful establish it. hello. Maeve showed my son a magic trick 10/10 read more

My go to place for a quick bite to eat when running around town. Always friendly and welcoming the moment you enter and with the Italian radio station on in the background adds an enjoyable touch of authenticity. The pizza and grinders reminds me of my years in southern Italy and those are fond memories! Stop by and say Ciao ! read more

Tiny little local place great sandwiches subs pizza and pasta . A very frequent lunch on the go spot. Owner operated great friendly service.

We have ordered both pizzas and subs Food is great and always ready for pickup when I arrive. read more

Got pizza from here last night and I will be coming back! One of the best pizzas I've had in the area, with the texture being not too thick, acidic, or salty. Very delicious and savory. The crust was a little blackened and charred, but not severely and it did not affect the quality of the meal. The service at the restaurant was also pleasant. Had to call about an hour in advance --which is common with high-demand pizza places in CT-- but the staff was very polite and let me know there would be a wait. Good customer service all around. In addition, the location was very nice and well maintained. Went for pickup, so I can't speak as to dining in, but a very nice place to stop for pickup. No hassle and clean venue. Discovered this place and will be coming back in the future! read more

Our go to pizza in Guilford! Always tastey and never sloppy like some of the others in town. We love the pizza but my husband also enjoys the wings. Stuffed breads are great. The Gnocchi alla sorrentino is also delicious!!! The staff is always friendly on the phone and during pick up. Delivery 4-8! read more

A great place to grab some quality Italian food. My partner got a small marinara pizza she liked and I devoured the gnocchi in a pesto cream sauce. I hope we get another chance to stop by and try more of the menu. read more

Usually have our food delivered and it's always quick and still perfectly warm. Love their meatball sub, toasted, with Provolone cheese. We split the sub and get a pizza to go with it. They never disappoint. read more

Recently checked out this place after a trip to the outlets based off yelp reviews. We decided to eat in, which may have thrown the staff off. Small place. Staff not super happy but service was ok. We ordered garlic bread, mozzarella sticks and my bf had a small cheese and I had a small with chicken cutlet. Apps were decent, my boyfriend loved his pizza and my pizza was good. Chicken cutlet was great and not dried out which is how I judge places. Good to know solid spot nearby. I think next time we'd do takeout. read more

Best thin crust pizza I've found on the shoreline ! Pleasant owner and good spot to go in as well as takeout.

Disrespectful. 25 minutes late for an order placed at 2p to pickup at 630. Said it would be 10 min. Clearly they hadn't starred it yet. Disrespectful. read more

We visited recently and were not disappointed. They are a busy place with many doing takeout. We ended up getting a table and having pizza and a foxon park soda. They were very nice to us and the pizza was awesome. I saw some great dinners come out. We definitely will return and don't think anyone would be disappointed going here. read more

My favorite pizza place of all time. When I was a freshman in college I attended a school in Long Island and a friend of mine said they were driving to upper New England for the weekend but stopped off the highway and randomly found a pizza place that she claims was the best pizza of all time; it was Carpanzano's. The service is always friendly and easygoing, even when busy. The owner (or who I believe to be the owner) is always very polite whenever I see him. The interior is small without a lot of seating, but it is in my opinion a cozy and quaint little spot. It seems to be mainly a place to order out from, but I enjoy eating there from time to time as it is a perfect place to go if you want an intimidate little setting to unwind or catch up with an old friend. read more

On occasion the pizza is good - but I am getting tired of paying for BURNT pizza. I wont go back. read more

Carpanzano's Pizzeria - Burnt pizza - Pizza Near Me - Guilford, Connecticut

Their stuffed breads are epic- second to none...but sometimes burned so be sure to remind them not to let that happen when ordering!

Great pizza. Do go! Love the crust style they use and their ground sausage instead of the other varieties.

Very good pizza and pizza combo specials, from this small, unassuming place that runs a mainly takeout business. Decent prices and fast service. read more

Very tasty food! The o sole mio pizza was outstanding and the calamari was great too. It's a byob which is perfect especially when there is a liquor store right next door. I will definitely be back to try some more of their delicious pizza when I am in the area. I love hole in the walls and this one didn't disappoint. It even appeased my Italian father which is pretty difficult to do! Thanks Carpanzano's! read more

So glad we found Carpanzano! Thin crast, super nice cheese, but can be overbaked. Make sure you ask them for light crust! Will order again! Friendly owner from Sicily! Amazing! read more

Great food great service pizza is absolutely delicious. Subs are always good. It's very nice inside and the staff always greets you upon walking in. Which is always nice. I go there all the time and I will definitely continue to go. read more

Carpanzano's pizzeria is some of best pizza I've ever had! Food is always fresh and delicious. Couldn't recommend them more!

Great Pizza! Didn't even know this place existed (it's not too far from my house) until I saw Dave Portnoy's review! Glad so have found another good pizzeria near me. read more

Carpanzanos pizza is really good... I like that it is thin and greasy! Pepperoni Pizza is a must... I really like the tiny pepperonis that they put on their pizzas. read more

I recently ordered a Tuscany grinder that is prosciutto, mozzarella,lettuce and oil and vinegar. I was very disappointed to find 1-2 thin slices of meat that I could see thru with tons of lettuce to fill the sandwich. I basically paid for bread with lettuce. I recently relocated to Guilford from New Jersey and am beyond disappointed. How do you charge 11.00 for a sandwich that has no meat (which is the only meat on the sandwich) It also had no oil and vinegar on it. I will be looking for a new pizzeria even though this is a mile from my house. You need to raise your standards and give customers what they paid for. Unfortunately I can't post pictures to show you what I received...it is laughable. read more

Their broccoli Rob sausage appetizer is good for a meal if you get full very easy. It's my favorite pizza around here, delicious crust, well done pizza read more

We tried to order pizzas last week and they no longer have website/their menus online. We called and ordered from someplace who did. It's a shame because we've had there pizzas and they're pretty good. read more

Surprisingly delicious thin crust pizza. We will definitely be eating here again. Will update review after trying sandwiches.

The food is excellent. Pizza is great. Stuffed breads delicious and the dinners are good

Sometimes it is awesome. Sometimes...not so much. Now and again, the pizza is a bit burnt......not very enjoyable. But when they don't burn it....it is truly awesome. read more

I have an agreement with my crew. Anytime we install one of our solar panel systems and there is snow I get us all hot lunches. They always ask for Carpanzano's hot subs when we're anywhere near Guilford. Sausage and peppers are a crowd favorite but there is growing demand among the installers for chicken parm. The rolls are toasted and the portions are good. Not too big. You can partially unwrap them and eat them with one hand and it stays together. I prefer the eggplant parm. Its lightly breaded and thin sliced. Very good. I've ordered several times during the winter of 20-21 usually 15 or 20 subs at a time and they are reliable to be ready when they say they will be ready and ordering is easy. A solar client turned me on to Carpanzano's and I appreciate the opportunity to support local businesses, especially during these times. And it's easy when it tastes so good and makes me look good with clients and crew. read more

I ordered 3 times from here & satisfied with quality & speed of service. The sausage & pepper pizza was tasty just like more peppers on it; calzone was good but I am Italian & really particular about the ricotta they could not tell me what brand it was & why conceal ? is it the cheap choice???(Calabro Cheese is made in East Haven, CT & is the BEST) read more

Frequent here often and it is delicious every time regardless of what my family orders! We love the food and they even will deliver too.

I'm giving 1 star because I couldn't leave zero stars. Ordered a large pizza and an antipasto for pick up. Pick up time was over an hour after the time I made the order. When I arrived I was told they didn't hear the chime from the device that alerts for a Grub Hub order so my food was not there. It was already 7:30 pm and by that point I just wanted my money back and to go get something quick elsewhere. I was told I had to get the refund through Grub Hub. As I stood there I tried to do that and Grub Hub said the order could not be cancelled because it had already been started therefore no refund. These guys were so rude and could have cared less that I would possibly be loosing $52.00 for my order (which is ridiculous for a Pizza and a Salad actually). When I got home I did a chat with G.H and they were able to manually cancel the order for a refund. Will never go back to this place after being treated so poorly by the two men in the kitchen. Zero interest in customer service. read more
