After moving last year, I live closer to Berlin and I've gradually been trying all the spots. This was my first visit to Central Pizza. I believe it's presently take out only. I ordered a large half pepperoni and green peppers and half cheese by phone. They told me 20-25 minutes on the phone. The Central Pizza crew was nice on the phone and in person and they finished the pizza on time, even though they seemed very busy. I liked some parts of the pizza a lot, and connected less well with some parts. The well melted cheese and fresh green peppers were highlights. The pepperoni was pretty good, but didn't stand out relative to some places. Sauce is a highly personal choice. I prefer a slightly sweeter sauce and this leaned towards tangy. The spice level was nice though. I'm not married to any particular crust style. Central makes a Greek style crust. This was not one of my favorite executions of a Greek crust. The outer rounded crust was very crispy. Almost saltine cracker crispy. The undercarriage was not as crispy, but I like the texture at some other area places better. I'm not sure Central will take the place of any pizzerias in my local takeout rotation. But if I went to someone's house and they served Central, I would not be disappointed. 3.5 Stars read more

Nothing out of the ordinary, just a standard, Greek style pizza with a thicker crust. The sausage and mushroom pizza was fine, not greasy, but a bit dry. The baked edges were super crispy. I'm not a fan of the haphazard way they cut it. Just stick to traditional triangles, please. read more

Central Pizza - With Sausage, With Mushroom - Pizza Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

Disgusting food. Not to mention it's packed and there is no space to walk and wait for your order. I had went there the other day to get food for my family and waited 45 mins. 45 mins!! Even though I called it in. The kid on the phone seemed annoyed and rushed. The cheese was half cooked and the place looked and smelled kinda dirty. I think the owners let the place go or something. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! Go to bills pizza down the street. So much better there read more

Great taste for a great price. Been coming here for the last 46 years and hopefully for the next 46. read more

Central Pizza - Kielbasa grinder(sorry, half eaten. Couldn't wait), spaghetti and meatballs.P.S.-wine was not purchased there. - Pizza Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

Watery soup of a pizza. Crust soggy and wet, all toppings fall off immediately when you try to pick up. Barely finished a piece and threw it away. Was it tomato sauce or water? Ill never be back to find out. read more

Good Greek style pizza. Sauce was a little too sweet for my liking. Tasted more of sweet marinara rather than tomato pizza sauce

Ordered a Sausage and Mushroom pizza. Very Disappointing. If you like a pizza soup then this is your place. Also had I known they use canned mushrooms woulda picked a different topping. Do yourself a favor and head to New Britain to Marathon if you want a Greek pie. This soupy pizza is in my trash can! read more

Still making incredible pizza and grinders!! Been going to Central for 50 years...never disappointed... I sure wish they would open the dining room back up though... pizza loses half its beauty after sitting in a box for the ride home... read more

3 star rating for neutrality since I can't rate the food due to no dine in opportunity. We were eager to patronize this place, but were disappointed they're STILL only doing takeout. It smelled heavenly, but we are visiting from out of town and didn't want to eat in the car so we left. Hoping they open the dining room again soon. I'm really eager to try them. read more

Loaded greek style pizza at its best! My go to place! They closed the sit down area during covid and are still making amazing pizza!

Don't miss out on this great little place in Berlin. We've been going there since I was much younger. Up until COVID you could eat in but now it's take out only. I love their pizza, it's the sauce that makes it! The owner is such a nice man and is always there. As I have stated in past reviews I'm always impressed by owners who are active in their businesses. Picture is what I had last evening, meatball platter. So good! Again, it's the sauce!! Prices are really good and portions are amazing! read more

Central Pizza - Meatball Platter - Pizza Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

Ok, so, Pizza is either really good, or, really bad; and, there's no in between. Right? Well, no. Central Pizza has convinced me, otherwise. For the past two weekends I've ordered a small, pepperoni and anchovie pizza from Central; and, they haven't dissappointed. The crust is firm, and cruncy, yet soft as you bite in. The sauce is, admittedly, understated: yet, it is sufficient. The toppings: (again, pepperoni and anchovis, in my case.) Are pleantiful and abundtant. It's rare I wait untill a second purchase to post a review; but, in this case I'm sorry I waited. At just over thirteen bucks, my small pizza seemed like a bargain; so, I recommend giving Central Pizza a try. Good stuff. Really. read more

This was my first time trying pizza from here and it was very good. Had trouble finding good pizza around me since moving to Middletown a year ago and I finally found a pizza restaurant I can go to from here on out. I ordered a small pizza with green peppers, onions, mushrooms and hamburger. Very good and highly recommended. read more

Takeout only or delivery ,but that just means that they are still open for business and I love that I found a new pizza place . They have Greek style pizza that is nice and thick and the sauce is very tasty. My friend told me that I must try their grinders ,so I will definitely come back to review them. My pizza was ready when promised and it was only cheese ,but the flavors were great . The restaurant inside is beautiful I can't wait til they do inside dining but the take away window is big and fast service. read more

It doesn't look like much when you drive by however I was practically dying of hunger. I ordered the eggplant dinner that came with a roll of Italian bread as well as a salad. On the side I got some mozzarella sticks and spent a total of a little over $26. The dinner platter is a lot of food I will probably have leftovers for the next 2 to 3 days the taste is rather interesting who could use little bit more seasoning. The mozzarella sticks were really good and the customer service was excellent. When in the area you should definitely stop by and give central pizza try. read more

Wish they would open up for dine in again their pizza is better oven to table. They have a amazing Tuna Fish Grinder or salad the fine grind on the tuna making it a bit smoother makes it 100x's better! There Greek Pizza is great xtra cheese well done consistency on the pizzas cook however can something's decrease the quality of product. read more

Called here to try out the tuna grinder. An angry man answered and told me take out only! I was getting take out anyways so that worked. He yelled a number at me after I ordered and hung up. I walked in to pick up and the entire restaurant was closed up except for the take out counter so it must always be like that ? Not sure. Anyways, picked up my very generous looking half a tuna for under $10 and left. This was one of the best tuna grinders I've ever had. Bread was lightly toasted. Tuna was double the portion of the pizza place down the street and it tasted great. Will be back to try more items for sure. read more

Jason is a hard-working owner who takes great pride in quality and service. Everything is prepared fresh in large portions. The pizza is made of excellent quality. All good products. Mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni, hamburg is all top-shelf stuff. He doesn't cheat like other pizza places that throw in fillers to make it look like you're getting more. You won't be disappointed with any of his offerings. Five Stars, hands down! read more

Everything here is great and the portions are very generous. The grinders are huge and delicious. The pizza is very good but not the very best around but don't be deterred because asI said it is very good. This place will never disappoint you and the service is homey and friendly. read more

Very good Greek style pizza, salads at a reasonable price. We always enjoy taking out from here.

Their pizza is wonderful, and the service is outstanding! I love the cheese they use - I think it's a blend of mozzarella and white cheddar. And the extra butter or oil they use makes even the crusts delicious. This place is a gem. Five stars. Highly recommended! read more

In 30 years I have not had a bad meal at Central Pizza. Great grinders and meals. Togo is what I need due to family situation

Ya baby! My wife and I are Greek pizza snobs. This place deserves a 3.2 stars for Greek pizza I'm giving it 5 stars for the area. As Meriden/ Berlin Greek pizza is not the best CT has to offer. Very descent Greek pie. Sauce is ok - lacks any flavor I would scream from the top of castle Craig about. It's good. Definitely good sauce. The chef is playing it a little too safe. Just seems like it needs a little something. Nice crust. Thin nice - Overall very good pie for the area. The best CT HAS TO OFFER: Captains pizza in Shelton, ct so far is the only 5 star Greek pie in CT!!! Excellent everything. By far- The best CT has to offer. For Greek pie. Number2 Country pizza Monroe ct Number3 Old town pizza Trumbull ct These are top 3 in CT I THINK IN THIS ORDER. I would not say central pizza would come in top 10. But, we will come here regularly as the best Greek is a minimum 45 min drive from our home. Central is definitely good pizza. read more

I've been eating here for 7 years. Before COVID it had a bustling dining room, but since COVID, they only serve takeout. Everything on the menu is very good from the pizza to calzones and main courses, but my favorite has to be the eggplant parmesan. Man, it's delicious. You can order it over pasta or by itself. Who needs pasta when the eggplant tastes so good. I love eggplant but everywhere I've ordered it, it's cut too thick and it's so heavily breaded that it doesn't taste like eggplant. Or else, it has the consistency of mush. Not here! Central serves a large order of barely breaded, thinly sliced eggplant with a delicious red sauce and the obligatory mozzarella. Layer after layer of the tantalizing vegetable has that firmness and sweetness that it's known for. It's served with a side salad which is simple and fresh and includes a couple of olives, a spicy pepperoncini and a large piece of Italian bread for $14.95. Ad $2.00 for a large helping of pasta. Don't hesitate. Try Central Pizza. read more

The last three times we ordered (during covid) from Cemtral - our food had been forgotten. They told us it would be ready in about 20 min. We drive about 30 mins to eat at Central (we just love their sauce! ). We always place the order before we leave so they definitely have a little extra time to make sure our order is complete. Last. 3. Times. We arrive, give the woman behind the register our number and our food is nowhere to be found. They then scream at each other, run around the kitchen and after waiting an additional 20-30 mins, get our food, only to drive back home to eat it. Only thing I will say is that after the last time it happened, we did call to complain (mostly because a few things in our order were wrong after having to wait an additional 20 min for it) and were told that our next order would be on them. We were happy about that - felt taken care of. If that hadn't happened, despite how much we love the food here, we wouldn't have been back. Good save!! read more

Berlin Greek pizza fans rejoice, the rest of us need to head to Meriden, Wooster Street or anywhere else in Ct. I found the crust too thick and soft while the cheese of inferior quality. read more

The pizza is good if you are indeed of a quick inexpensive pie to tide over the family. Staff is very friendly and kitchen is extremely clean. read more

Delicious pizza! After driving by this place for 10+ years, I finally got to walking in and it didn't disappoint! Holy cow, this medium is huuuuuge and so flavorful. read more

Best local pizza place. Best grinders ever! Even though I've moved away, always eat here at least once (or more) when back visiting.

This is a great place to go for grinders. If you aren't from New England your probably asking yourself what is a grinder? Its a sub/hero/hoagie. If you are here and you don't want pizza I recommend the sausage or meatball grinder. BTW I really like the pizza sauce here so the pizza is getting too. read more

Jason and his family always do a superb job at making sure their customers are satisfied. The pizza is always delicious, eggplant platter is excellent, meatballs are always fresh and big in size, the chicken cutlet grinder is out of this world! My entire family always order from central . Central pizza is definitely a staple in this town. Because they have had the same owner for so many years the food is consistently delicious, using his own recipes all these years and fresh ingredients. read more

Just moved to the area and had to do the customary pizza and beer for everyone who helped us move. The pizza was ok, not great but not terrible. The garlic bread was god awful though. Literally a grinder roll toasted and doused with garlic powder. read more

Did all Grinders just get alot smaller? Please let me know if it is me...otherwise good

I personally love Greek pizza. And central pizzas pizza is one of the best repeat says that I've had ever! I haven't had any other dishes from the restaurant but the pizza is amazing!! I highly recommend if you like Greek pizza!!! read more

We have been coming here for forty years. Consistently very good pizza, grinders and Italian dinners. We keep trying other local places but none of them are comparable. read more

Great local pizza joint. People in there are extremely nice and welcoming. Takes a bit to get your food, but it's worth the wait. Unfortunate part is paying for refills on a soda. A bit ridiculous. read more

Food good. Marginal service. I was charged for soda refills. Ridiculous.

Central Pizza is a hometown local favorite. Nothing fancy to look at, but they serve you old Italian/Greek favorites to perfection. Have to know what your in for: Gourmet? No. Old School Pizza Place? This is for you. Oh, by the way, their Eggplant Parm is the best! read more

Been here numerous times. Grinders are amazing. Pizza is awesome. Salads so super fresh. Pasta is great, huge portions. Always leave here satisfied. read more
