    Buffalo Chicken Pizza

    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! Our favorite pizza by far. I don't write reviews but this place is so good I had to give them the credit they deserve! As you can see from my picture I couldn't wait to eat the pizza LOL!

    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.

    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!

    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.

My husband and I told her it was our first visit to JG and she was delighted to help us with any questions or concerns. The menu is huge and it offers something for everybody! I decided to start with the apple salad, which was huge! It was crispy, crunchy, and had just the right mix of ingredients. My husband ordered a small (12in) cheese pizza, and I decided to go with a small (12in) vodka pizza. I love vodka sauce but had never tried it on a pie before, man was it delicious!- Chef's kiss! My husband really enjoyed his traditional cheese pizza as well! It was great to find a new haven style pizza joint further into the state. They also serve Detroit style pizza which I'd be interested in trying next time. The only downside was not having room to try the italian ricotta donuts that look and sound amazing (which JG doesn't start serving till 5pm). I guess that means we'll just have to go back! 10 out of 10 for JG, we shall return!

He is very attentive and is on top of drinks and food before your glass is running low. Thank you Spencer for being 100% attentive at what you do to keep customers happy. If you are wondering if I/we know him. No we do not. I always ask the name of the person serving us. I find it to be a more pleasant experience knowing the name of the person who is serving us. As for the food my Apple walnut cranberry something salad lol was amazing. I ordered it with Only romaine lettuce, no onions and extra dressing. Amazing!! My husband ordered a cheeseburger with fries that he really enjoyed. 10/10 on food and service but if you plan to sit in the bar area it can get really loud if it is full house.

I live the nice music in here. It's very livel! It's Happy Hour from 3-7 on weekdays (food) and all day for drinks on Monday! The kitchen here makes everything built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. The appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed their kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! Not every place can say that! For my first drink, I'm having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob Creek bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. Wait a minute! These are the same ingredients as a Perfect Manhattan! This is chilled, well balanced and nicely garnished. I like it! For my first food item, I'm having a House Salad (small, off-menu version). This is made with a spring mix including basil, tomatoes, julienned carrots, cucumbers and a red wine vinaigrette dressing. This is nice and fresh! I love the dressing! I like the nice cloth napkin as well as a disposable one. The bartender is the nicest one I've ever met. For my next item, I'm having the Rigatoni Marinara. The is made with rigatoni and house marinara sauce. It's low cholesterol and guilt-free (for me). This is steaming hot and delicious! Nice portion size too! For my next item, I'm having a cup of soup. This is broccoli cheddar with potato. Oh yeah! I love those oyster crackers! This is yummy! For my next drink, I'm having the Pratt n Whiskey made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. I love it! It's shaken well and tastes great! For my next food item, I'm having the Carmine's Secret Tenderloins. These are actually pan seared caramelized CHICKEN tenderloins made with wine, olive oil, cracked black pepper, kosher salt, shredded Parmesan and a VERY special secret sauce. I can eat this with little regret. This should be interesting! This is quite good! I do like that creamy sauce! For my dessert, I'm having the Toasted Almond. This is soaked in Amaretto layered with light custard and topped with crushed almond. Oh yeah! Look at the presentation! This is fantastic! What a great meal here!

The first time, I went with a friend and ordered the lobster ravioli. While eating it, I started feeling nauseous and ended up returning the dish to the server. The next day, my friend contacted me and told me that she had become very sick after eating the separate dish she had ordered. I can't say for certain what caused either of us to feel sick, but the experience definitely left me concerned. I decided to give Yanni's another chance because I've always enjoyed going there. Unfortunately, my second experience was also disappointing. I went with my girlfriend and we ordered a meat lovers pizza. The crust had what tasted like a stale/refrigerated flavor, and the crust itself was noticeably different from what I was used to getting from Yanni's. My girlfriend also thought the pizza was terrible and told me we shouldn't go back. That's what makes this so disappointing. This used to be a reliable go-to spot for me, so having two bad experiences back-to-back makes me wonder if something has changed. I really hope the restaurant looks into the consistency and quality of the food because I'd much rather be able to recommend Yanni's again.
