Paid $17 for a Ham grinder. There was a total of 8 very thin slices of ham on a 16" grinder, a few pieces of tomato, mostly lettuce. So disappointing to pay that much and there is no meat. read more

Elm Hill Pizza - Ham grinder with barely any ham - Pizza Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

Decided to visit as this used to be a high-school haunt. Service was quick. Pizza was decent, not as good as I remember, but I was a kid back then. Taste buds were not very mature back then, haha. The inside looked just as it did back in the late nineties, your typical pizza place. We were a little taken back by the loud and abrupt service. I don't think it was intentional, but it did put us all on-edge. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Elm Hill Pizza. The pizza is absolutely delicious- perfect every single time. The owners are also so friendly and wonderful. Elm Hill never misses!

Great pizza Good grinders A neighborhood favorite (Saw a previous review about undercooked cheese I've never had that issue) read more

Definitely a Newington staple! Finally checked this place out for our go to pizza topping- buffalo chicken! Immediately ordering on the phone staff was super nice and friendly. Once we picked up the pizza my husband kept saying how nice they were there! When we took our pizza home we were super impressed and loved our pizza! They serve pan pizzas here so their crust is super unique and flavorful. The Buffalo chicken is one of the best I've had. Amazing flavor! I will definitely be ordering from them again soon. read more

I've been coming to Elm Hill for over 50 years. My whole family enjoys their pizza. Very seldom an order comes out wrong but mostly our pizzas are great. We are a loyal Elm Hill customer. Their sauce is amazing. read more

The pizza here is my favorite, it's been here since I was a kid, the people that work here are awesome. I have moved away but still grab pizza here when I can. It's always consistent. The service is always great. Feels like a small town pizza place, and they have the best chicken wings too! read more

Absolutely the nicest people and the best pizza in Newington! We go to Elm Hill all the time and everything we've ordered is fantastic. Our go-to is the buffalo chicken pizza and eggplant pizza, but we also love the steak and cheese, roast beef, calzones, and most recently, their homemade meatballs! When you walk-in everyone makes you feel so welcomed. Can't wait to try more of their menu soon! read more

I think it's fair to say that Elm Hill Pizza is a Newington institution. I live closer to other places that I like, but I still make sure I get to Elm Hill a few times a year for their reliably good pizza and grinders. For people of a certain age and place, can you even hear the word "calzone" without thinking of fake George Steinbrenner stalking Seinfeld's George Costanza through the New York Yankee offices for his lunch calzone? I know I can't. Today, I ordered my first calzone in a while - a pepperoni, onion and green pepper calzone from Elm Hill. I phoned in my order and it was ready on time. Elm Hill is small and the inside is functional, but there are a few tables if you'd like to dine in during off-peak times. If you were to try that around dinner, you might see that Elm Hill can get crowded with takeout customers and the dining room may feel a bit cramped. I normally get takeout. The calzone was huge and looked great. It was the folded over and press-sealed variety of calzone. The top was vented and you could see the oozy mozzarella peaking through. The top was also partially coated with little cheese crisp strands. A welcome sight. A calzone is not a go to order for me, but it does have some natural advantages over pizza. Most importantly for me, calzones allow for total sauce control. Ever get a pizza lacking in sauce? Not a problem with a calzone. Dip away. Calzones also stay warm longer than pizzas since they're double-crust insulated. Elm Hill's calzone was very good. The crust was well done and had good texture. The mozzarella and ricotta cheese were both tasty. The pepperoni, peppers and onions were well cooked and delicious. It was just a solid calzone in every way. The marinara dipping sauce was decent, but not my favorite. There are a zillion ways to make sauce and you can't please everybody. For me, Elm Hill's sauce was a little too sweet, not quite salty enough and lacking in the Italian herb (oregano, etc.) flavor that I like. But again, the calzone itself was very good and Elm Hill's sauce may connect with people with different sauce preferences than I have. Four enthusiastic Stars for Newington's beloved Elm Hill Pizza. read more

We happily had the chance to try a local favorite. These folks provided us with a couple pies on one of these cold New England nights that really warmed us up. We went with a classic pepperoni and then a super tasty fried eggplant, spinach, and olive. Super flavorful. Thanks to everyone for a very pleasant experience! read more

Always a winner! Pizza is so good and the pasta and salads are perfect. The food is always consistent. Highly recommend!

This small pizza place has been in the neighborhood for years and I was able to get a pizza there recently. I want to call them and tell them that I enjoyed their pizza so much and I have been missing out because I used to get their pizza when my Mom worked down the street. She would bring it home on Friday night because we had our Friday night dinner and watched our favorite shows. The crust is so delicious and cooked perfectly. The sauce is the best I have had around this area. Just made so well not over seasoned and just delicious. The toppings were the way I asked with red roasted peppers and mozzarella cheese was great. I will definitely be calling them soon and picking up a delicious pizza and let them know that they are the best in the area and keep up the great pizza tradition. read more

Excellent pizza! My favorite in the area! Tastes fresh and you can customize the toppings. It's a little on the saucier side. The pizza isn't super thin but not thick either. Even the crust tastes good. read more

This place was delish. We ordered food to go last night and it's a super tiny little hole in the wall, but man, they know how to make a mozz sticks order. I also went with a lighter option and got the tuna salad on a salad and it was such a huge portion I had leftovers for today. Next time I'll have to try their pizza for sure, my husbands pepperoni smelled amazing. read more

Elm Hill Pizza - Pepperoni pineapple pizza - Pizza Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

We went to Elm Hill Pizza because we seen on yelp that they had good reviews when we got there we had a good impression the seating was clean and they had nice decoration although we start getting a little bit disappointed once the pizza was taking about 30 minutes to be done because according to them the wings we ordered needed new oil in the fryer. When we got the pizza and wings we were even more disappointed to see the pizza was insanely greasy and it wasn't even warm anymore. The wings were only ok. The woman who made our pizza did not apologize for the wait and it seems like she created an excuse about why our food took so long to prepare. We did not finish the pizza and we do not recommend it. read more

Family owned. Great food (their pizzas & chef salad are my favorites). Reasonable prices & the staff are super personable. They greet you by name & they have regulars which is nice to see. read more

Elm Hill Pizza started when Elm Hill Elementary School was down the street 50 years ago. It has been Newington's Top Pizza & Grinder place forever. Greek Pizza is cooked in a pan with a Cheesy Top & Crispy & Chewy crust. It tastes fantastic when you put Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, and any combination of olives, onions, peppers for a perfect balance flavor. The old school hamburger & onion & garlic is great ! They make perfect oven toasted grinders too. I will only eat Elm Hill Pizza with Fanta Orange Soda because its the perfect amount of fizz and flavor. Personally I love the middle square sliced if you get a size large. The phone number is the same & they always say 20 minutes. So call & then drive so you get there & only wait 5 minures read more

I was disappointed with my purchase this evening. I've been a loyal customer here for 30 years. Tonight the half ham grinder had one slice of ham and very little vegetables. The medium sausage pizza had half the cheese it used to come with. It's a sign of the times. Cut backs everywhere. It's too bad. "FJB" read more

Classic old school food . A classic comforting place for pizza. It is usually busy and that is for a reason. Solid consistent comforting

Absolutely DELICIOUS grinders, pizza, sandwiches. Home made roast beef, and you can taste the quality. The ONLY "issue" is the incredibly rude woman who takes the orders. She has gotten them wrong so often and is so loud and obnoxious that we sadly refuse to even call in orders anymore. It's sad that a place with such good food keeps someone as off-putting as her in the public eye, (and EAR). HIGHLY recommend the food...but if the fast talking, loud woman answers the phone...hang up. read more

Ordered one small pepperoni and one veggie pizza.So delicious pizza.Love the crust perfect size.Very happy with staff very professional and always smiling. read more

if you like greek style pizza (thick crust, lots of cheese) you have to get it from elm hill. their service is quick, staff is so friendly, and their pizza is delicious!! read more

A great place to get a top notch gluten free pizza. Definitely bring your appetite. Best to order ahead as this place is busy. And it is no doubt busy because the food is awesome. I noticed while eating there everyone who came in was almost always greeted by their name. Proof that the neighborhood must also think this place is great as they seem to have a lot of repeat customers. Thanks for a great pizza read more

The first time I went to Elm Hill, I saw the rating and called up hankering for some pizza to throw down. The phone line was choppy and customer service was kind of iffy at best but I had my order in and banked on it being good. It took a while to make the pizza so I had some stand around time. Brought the box into the car, mildly annoyed, and peered in-- instantly forgiven. The pizza was stupid good. I have since gone back and it was a better experience, but pizza continued its amazing greasy quality. If you are looking for details, the pizza is one of those freak places that cuts them in squares, the toppings are loaded, and prices are more decent than other pizza places. read more

Should I ever be falsely charged with a crime and be placed on death-row I will request my final meal to be an order of wings from Elm Hill Pizza. Side of garlic bread for good measure, and to share with my cell block. I'm in Los Angeles these days working in film which takes me all over the nation. These guys make wings just right, savory, juicy, and just hit the spot like no one else. Look forward to having it every time I'm back in Newington. Also a great family owned business! read more

This was my first time visiting Elm Hill Pizza, I ordered the "Elm Hill Special" with no anchovy. Now when it comes to pizza, I always get/order the special/the works in any pizzeria. So I know what I want/ know what should be in a pizza. And Elm Hill Special pizza, it was...okay. It had a crispy crust but to be honest, it was lacking cheese! It was really saucy, meaning it had a greater ratio of pizza sauce than cheese. The middle the selection of the pizza (while picking up with your hands) the toppings was falling off when you're trying to eat. *You know some people like their pizzas and some don't, so if you're curious, try it out for yourself. read more

Elm Hill Pizza - Elm Hill Special with no anchovy - Pizza Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

By far, one of the best places in Newington. No atmosphere, great grinders and very good pizza. Only bad thing I can say about this family is that they usually slice pizzas into squares, not pie slices. Squares, however, taste just as good. There are two generations working here, using fresh ingredients, paying attention to the details. Pizza and grinders to go are a specialty, they're always great and always served with a smile. read more

Ordered a turkey grinder with just cheese, mayo and lettuce and it was made perfectly! No complaints, tasted fresh and was made fast. My new go to spot for grinders! The place itself looked clean but the parking is a bit small. Guess good place to pick up food and go. read more
