My daughter likes the swordfish tacos which are also great. The salsas and sauces are professionally prepared. It's a walk up shack, with the usual menu items where some choices are better than others. Try it - but try to come late afternoon before the crowds roll in!

You literally go to one of the back doors of the Velvet Mill in Stonington and order at the counter (you can order online too).

Overall great way to eat and fill some time.

The Back Door Kitchen & Pizzeria is a wood-fired pizzeria and restaurant that opened in Stonington,…read moreConnecticut in March 2024. It was founded by culinary couple Johan Jensen and Abbey Hemmann. Johan is a native of Denmark while Abbey is a Connecticut native. The two met in Cape Cod and eventually got married on White Crest Beach in Wellfleet. In July 2019, the couple opened their first restaurant, Whitecrest Eatery, at the Velvet Mill in Stonington. The historic building was originally home to the American Velvet Company, which operated from 1892 to 1996. Today it is a multipurpose building that is home to a thriving community of small businesses and artist studios. The American bistro with a weekly-changing menu soon won numerous awards and accolades. By 2024, the couple opened a new restaurant in the Velvet Mill. This time they would focus on artisanal wood-fired sourdough pizza as well as sandwiches, salads, and other delicious treats. Named for the "back door" of the Velvet Mill, the pizzeria soon won its own accolades. My sons and I recently had lunch at Back Door. I've visited the Velvet Mill numerous times, but this was my first visit since Back Door opened. After looking of the menu, we all decided to order and share the "Margherita" (fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato sauce, EVOO) and the "CBR" (house ranch, bacon, chicken, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, everything spice, lemon, dill). After ordering, we picked a table right by the pick-up window so we could watch the kitchen crew at work. Both pizzas had great crust that was crispy on the outside and yet chewy on the inside. The fresh ingredients gave the pies some rich flavors with a nice smoky finish. I really liked the "Margherita", but it was the topping combo on the "CBR" that left me really impressed. I washed everything down with a bottle of locally-produced Hosmer Mountain Birch Beer. We were all very happy with our lunch. Before leaving, my younger son had a delicious "Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie". He was nice enough to offer me and my older son a bite. We were impressed with Back Door and hope to return in the future!

Don't be disappointed with the size in the pic. I took the smaller half And the fries were great! Hot, crispy outside and fluffy inside.

We sat outside on the covered patio, which was great. We split a combo platter with calamari and oysters. Many fried items can be made gluten free in separate fryers, though it is a $4.50 up charge. My husband didn't care for the Cole slaw, but everything else tasted great! I loved the calamari and oysters. Definitely a place to stop into if you're in the area.

The location is hard to beat, especially when we can grab a table outside and bring the dogs along. My boyfriend loves the lobster bisque so much that I've genuinely seen him lick the bowl. His lobster roll looked perfect on our most recent visit, served on a buttery toasted bun and overflowing with large chunks of lobster. As someone who eats gluten free, I especially appreciate that Jimmy's has separate fryers. It's such a treat to be able to enjoy fried seafood without worry. From the fried scallops to the fish and chips, everything has been delicious. The generous portions, friendly atmosphere and dog-friendly outdoor seating keep us coming back. Thank you to Jimmy and the entire team for creating such a special place. We absolutely love it and can't wait for our next visit!

I wanted to order from the two local pizza places in my area in relatively quick succession, so I…read morecould compare between the two. Skinny of it is this... between Charlestown Famous and the other place, both are good enough. When you have that hankering for pizza, they will both hit the spot. I ordered delivery again, and was quoted 45 minutes. My pizzas arrived in 30 minutes. That was fast. And I ordered 4 pizzas. And they were all definitely fresh-made and still hot when they arrived. Oh, also, why 4 pizzas? Let's math. The other pizza place did 18" pizzas, that's about 255 sq in of pizza. Minus the edge crust...about 201 sq in of pizza with sauce and toppings touching it. Charlestown Famous does 14" pizzas, so that's about 154 sq in of pizza. Minus the edge crust...about 113 sq in of pizza with sauce and toppings touching it. So factoring out the edge of the pizza, I get about the same amount of pizza from four 14" pizzas as I do with two 18" pizzas. Aaaaaaaanyway, crust styles are pretty similar, in that they both seem like hand-tossed, but Charlestown Famous's pizza seems like it probably uses less oil in the dough. The dough is leavened pretty well, so the crust has a pretty soft texture. The four pizzas I got were Chris Special, Hawaiian, Meat Lovers, and Moussaka. If you like Supreme/Combo/whatever-you-want-to-call-it types of pizza, Chris Special is for you. And normally, I love pizzas with all the toppings. But for me, I felt like the wide topping selection here overpowered the taste of the sauce and the crust. Also, the veggies let out a lot of water. If you order this and any other pizza, make sure you eat this one first; otherwise, the crust will get soggy. It's still pretty good, but I liked the other ones I ordered more. The Hawaiian was pretty good. I think it came with extra cheese. Not sure. Don't quote me. This was a great one. The acidity from the pineapple has that cleansing effect with greasy foods the same way that wines do. This made eating through the entire pizza a breeze. You just didn't want to stop. Also, for those who are thinking stupid thoughts because pineapple on pizza... how about you keep it to yourself? And in return, I won't go holier-than-thou on you by preaching about how avocado doesn't belong in sushi, oat juice doesn't belong in coffee, and beef doesn't belong in an Indian curry? K? We good? The Meat Lovers was...well, good. I don't know what there is to say about a meat lovers pizza. Meat lovers pizzas are always pretty good, unless a place uses substandard toppings. Otherwise, this is basically like an upgraded pepperoni pizza. The Moussaka...I was reminded why I always seem to order this pizza when I order from this place. Now, personally, I love eggplant as a pizza topping, and the eggplant tends to be the star of the show in most other places' moussaka pizza. But here, the eggplant is cut to small pieces and breaded. They use more meat here, in the form of meatballs. And there's quite of bit of an addition of feta cheese, which adds a bit of tang. It comes together quite nicely, and it was a reminder of why it's a must-order for me. I have to maintain, between this place and the other, I'd flip a coin. Neither are super amazing places, but neither are bad. Again, if you get that craving for pizza, this place will hit the spot.
