After visiting Dal Mare several times for the Saturday porchetta specials, my son and I decided to try a mid-week dinner. We both ordered the chicken scarpariello. Tender boneless breasts with sliced Italian sausage, onions, and hot cherry peppers, with a delicious vinegar pan sauce over an ample serving of linguine, which, although a tad beyond al dente, was still quite nice considering the 20-minute cross-town ride home. Friendly staff, great grinders and dinners, with Nonna sized servings, you can't go wrong at Dal Mare. read more

Got a white whole belly clam pizza. DELISH!!! Very nice employees too! We'll be back....soon! read more

Recently came to get some takeout from Dal Mare after seeing this spot on social media. We ordered garlic bread with cheese, my fiancé had a small cheese and I opted for The BFD grinder garlic bread with cheese was great. We appreciated they use La grande cheese, and you know a place is legit if they do. My sandwich was also great. Nice seeded Arthur Ave roll and let me tell you this think was stuffed. My fiancé said his pizza was ok and wasn't a fan of the sauce. I tried the pizza and would agree it was a little too sweet for our liking. Overall a solid place and friendly staff! read more

Was blown away by the size of this sandwich. It was bigger that my two month old ( who accompanied me to pick up our lunch) It was delicious, fresh and great for the price. Will definitely be back to try more. read more

Dal Mare Pizzeria - the Dominick - Italian Near Me - Lordship Stratford, Connecticut

From West Haven visiting the seawall and was hungry and noticed a little neighborhood pizza shop and stopped in. Little did we know that the young at the counter would make us feel so welcome. He explained menu items, engaged us with small talk and said he hopes that we return. This kind of top notch customer service is why I rated 4 stars. Owners should know that he makes a big difference in the customer experience. I will definitely return. I had a delicious slice of Sicilian pizza and my friend a dessert. The desserts looked amazing. read more

Having now had Dal Mare a handful of times, I can confidently say, for me, it's the best pizza around. I've had the pepperoni a few times, the works, and the Mark's--all exceptional. And it reheats really well (after being refrigerated or frozen). Grinder-wise, I've had the chicken parm, Italiano, and melanzana (the latter was the first sandwich I ever had from Dal Mare--it was brought to me, I didn't opt for it because eggplant isn't my go-to, and even given that, it was absolutely delicious). Oh, and weather permitting, it's very nice to sit outside. Dal Mare is a must-must try. read more

Finally tried this place out.....we picked up a Jonny A grinder.....OMG! That first bite when you realize it's soooooo good! I pounded that thing. Johnny A grinder? A big nice piece of chicken cutlet, fresh barata, prosciutto, and a balsamic glaze on a long grinder.....it didn't look impressive, then I took that first bite....I was hooked......most delicious grinder I have ever had. DEFINITELY GOING BACK FOR MORE...I'll take pics next time.....ate it too fast...LOL read more

The people are great here. Friendly and engaging; Great Energy! Wonderful place to visit! But I noticed bringing it home, that the pizza I ordered was so heavy in the box. It was a cheese pizza with one vegetable topping. Heavy crust. Not my preference. I wish that I loved this place. I'm disappointed. read more

This place was finally recommended to me and after looking at their menu I ordered take out the next day. I ordered the Dominick online for pick up. Super easy process, was made 15 mins after placing the order and I was on my way. Upon opening this absolute monster I knew I was in for an extra lunch. The eggplant was absolutely delicious, not oily, not falling apart - perfection. The chicken cutlet, thinly sliced but stacked up!!! And that balsamic glaze?? Mouth watering. For $15 (w/ tax) I literally couldn't of asked for anything better! read more

Best muscles over linguine! Mussels and linguine is a deliciously satisfying dish that perfectly balances fresh, briny seafood with tender pasta. read more

It's true friends that really come to your rescue when you need it. My dear friend Melissa Denzel Emanuel of the center restaurant Dal Mare restaurant in the Lordship area of Stratford just brought me dinner. A grinder, penne ala vodka and two desserts. It makes me feel special when I feel like soooooo many people have forgotten me. I grew up with Melissa and her family...knew them all my life. The Denzel's are special people. GOD bless them all...MERRY Christmas & a very Happy New Year!!!! P.s. If you like good Italian try Dal Mare in the Lordship area of Stratford. Their food is amazing!!!! read more

They changed the recipe at some point. Still good pizza just not 5 stars for me. It tastes like pizza

I love dal mare!!! Don't let this take away from that... service is great. Food is good.... Last time they messed up my soup order.. this time. I ordered a corned beef Dinner. The corned beef was 1/2 fat (I had to brown it in the pan) and tough... cabbage was smush...potatoes were black on the inside and carrots were hard. They make solid food, I guess corned beef isn't their forte. Stay away on March 17, go every other day ;) read more

Great pizza with an on time delivery service! Ordered different types - all tasted delicious! read more

Everything fresh, very good attention, something to highlight the cleanliness of the place and everything very delicious., If I will return? Of course, when I am in Stratford this will obviously be my favorite place, congratulations. read more

Have been out of town and needed some outstanding cuisine locally. We called in an order as we have done many times and the food was ready right on time. I have to say the food is always incredibly delicious! Thank you for being a community GEM! Jeff F Stratford read more

This is a great neighborhood spot, and worth the trip from out of town as well. The pizza recipe is excellent as are the sandwiches (excellent Italian bread), dinners, and specials. The portions are extremely generous and the prices fair. There is comfortable outdoor seating in the nicer weather with the beach just down the block, thus the great name. This family-owned business and their staff genuinely care and provide outstanding pizzeria fare that is akin to that of a fine Italian restaurant. And, their desserts are excellent at well. read more

I have ordered several times from Dal Mare and I haven't yet left a review but I feel compelled today. I live on the other side of town, I have a lot of good Italian restaurants near me but my picky kids requested meatballs from Dal Mare! We ordered for New Years Eve and ordered last minute for the Super Bowl. The meatballs are HUGE! The sauce is so flavorful and fresh, the meatballs the perfect flavor and texture. The service is second to none. Owner operated, there is obvious pride in their food and service to the community. read more

The pizza was amazing ! I'm so glad we drove there. My daughter also got the soup and she enjoyed it

We moved to Lordship this summer and this place is fantastic. We have tried the pizza, paninis on homemade focaccia (personal fav), grinders and dinner specials....everything is delicious! It is an easy goto for us. read more

I work in a nearby hospital. Having worked there for almost 16 years, I can tell you, healthcare workers order out A LOT!!! We are true critics when it comes to where we order our meals from. We need nutritious food to feed our bodies but we also need really good tasting food to feed our souls. This is the northeast..we have a lot of amazing places to order from and some not so amazing. Dal Mare arriving on the scene has been a godsend. They have delivered multiple meals to us over the past year and we pretty much order from here exclusively. We know our food will ALWAYS be high quality, fresh, affordable. But most importantly...delicious. Like I said, we are discriminating: pizza isn't just pizza. Grinders aren't just grinders. This place just knocks all of the competition out of the ballpark. I mean the sauce alone..come on... They just know how to season and portion and create dishes that you can't find anywhere else. Thank you Dal Mare for keeping the hospital's workforce fueled with your excellent Italian cuisine. Top notch customer service too! read more

Excellent food! Friendly staff. I love their panini specials. Try the burrata panini - yum!

I got a pizza from there it was delicious and the service was great no eat in pick up only but it's worth it

On vacation from Sarasota, Fl. and I was looking for a place with great pizza. Dal Mare did not disappoint. I loved this pizza and highly recommend if anywhere near the area. Will be talking about this pizza the rest of my life...it's that good. read more

Finally had the opportunity to try Dal Mare. I judge Italian Restaurants by their chicken parm sandwich . It tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. The bread- perfect! The sauce- amazing and the perfect quantity. The cheese- delicious and excellent quality. The chicken- breaded, cooked and served perfectly. So good, I went back for a second one... Welcome to the neighborhood Dal Mare, so glad to have you here!!! read more

We LOVE Dal Mare and are so happy there's a great restaurant right here in lordship. We've been eating here since they opened, and have tried well over 10 of their dishes by now. Every single one is spot on in taste. We order weekly at minimum. read more

Found this place while in Stratford with my wife and we're so glad we did! Not a dine in but there is a small counter with some stools that we used to try a couple of slices while our pie we were bringing home for dinner cooked. The slices were excellent, a thin crust NY style that made me say "Mmmm" every time I took a bite! The owner gave us a sample of that night's dinner specia, tortellini in a cream sauce and it was amazing! If you find yourself in Stratford and need a bite, you have to try this place! read more

Just a short (1/4 mile) walk away from the Stratford Seawall. Offers great-tasting pizza and fast service. Good place to go for a quick bite. Offers much more than just pizza per the menu. read more

Came here on Sunday for a slice for the first time. My wife and I shared a slice and it was great! Even better...The owner was delightful! Really nice experience! It was a ray of sunshine on a rainy day! read more

The pizza, calzones and sandwiches are terrific. Will be trying the entrees, pastas, etc. as well. A fantastic addition to Lordship!

Very good will get great with time. The Tuesday night special is an excellent addition,

incredible wings. meaty flavorful. go with the garlic/parm or Buffalo. the Pies are well made, good sauce and toppings. service is friendly, have to do takeout out side seating is limited and shares space with the ice cream place. read more
