I'm back. I'm enjoying my once-a-week Diet Coke to start. For my starter, I'm having a bowl of pasta Faglioli soup. Pasta e fagioli ("pasta and beans") is a traditional, hearty Italian soup or stew with countless regional variations, typically featuring small pasta shapes, beans (like cannellini or borlotti), and a flavorful broth made with vegetables (onion, carrot, celery), garlic, herbs (rosemary, parsley), and sometimes tomatoes, pancetta, or sausage. I added all of the Westminster Bakers Co crackers and lots of crushed hot pepper. Lots. This is hot and damn good! For my main meal, I'm having a tuna grinder made with lettuce, tomato, hop peppers, onions, olives and a little oil. This is quite good! read more

Hartford Road Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

Got a small pizza from Hartford road Pizza on a Friday night it was busy but it was worth the wait two thumbs up

Best pizza in Manchester reminds me of the good Ole days when pizza restaurants were a treat!

Stopped by and had a Cheese Calzone. It came with side of red sauce. The Calzone had a mix od mozzarella and ricotta. The bread was very thick, well cooked, looked amazing, great flavor. It had quite a bit of bread to cheese ratio. Probably because the bread was so thick and plump there wasn't room for much else. The sauce seemed kinda dry? Like a lot of tomato not much liquid, heavy. The taste was good, not great but good. Overall a good Calzone. Onion rings were pretty good as well. I'll stop back try a grinder next time. Nice cozy little place, clean, friendly staff, attentive. read more

Okay this pizza is amazing! Generous toppings, flavorful sauce and the price matched the quality. Fed a large family+ for less than $50 with leftovers. We ordered ahead and got delayed but when called they happily (and with good humor) held it for us. Took it to go and even after sitting an extra 30mins still tasted amazing and fresh. Definitely will eat there again when in town! read more

I love, love, love their pizza...except that they never get the cheese all the way over to the crust... but... I was very disappointed in their grinder.... I ordered a ham grinder with provolone only, toasted... with EXTRA MEAT that I paid for... smallest size grinder with extra meat... $14.96....and there was the tiniest bit of ham in it, plus inside top of grinder roll was pink... and tried it... I think they put tomatoes on it and took them back off.... I am allergic to tomatoes...It ended up in the garbage... it was terrible! Extremely disappointed and mad for wasting $15.00! read more

I have ordered from here 3 times... Same thing every time. A large tuna grinder toasted with cheese lettuce tomatoes and pickles. 1st time was amazing best grinder ive had! 2nd time Grinder was so salty it literally burned your mouth lips etc....I called up and they were super understanding and fixed he sandwich right away. Tonight I order my usual....... Well soggy bread, unmelted cheese freezing cold sandwich for being Toasted. Super salty loaded with onions I didnt ask for oh and pickles Nope we got 1 damn pickle on a large grinder that cost enough! This will now be my last time here. 1st time ok but come on horrible just horrible. ​ read more

Ordered three half grinders and an order of mozzarella sticks. First the Mozzarella sticks were absolutely horrible I'm thinking it's a frozen product and not made on site . The tuna grinder was nothing to write home about, the meatball grinder was pretty good. , the pepperoni grinder was ok also wish it was the bigger sandwich size pepperoni has a much better chew than just small pizza slices. In all fairness I should probably have a pizza and give them a fair shake. read more

Solid food with awesome service. A great place to go. 10/10. 5 stars. Would recommend to all

I ordered through door dash. If you seen this cheese pizza in person you'll throw up disbelief if it's actually cheese or not. By far the worst pizza I seen couldn't eat because it looks like American cheese was thrown on it. Some restaurants do not deserve to serve the mess they make. read more

I was excited to try this place because it's close enough to walk to, but this really wasn't for me. Overall impression: it's not bad, just be aware of what you're getting. (See pictures) First, of all the pizza is cut into squares. I'm not sure why, as I did not request that. Second, the crust is really big and crunchy. Which due to the square cut meant that some slices in the corners are just plain crust. Third, due to how thick the crust is it tasted more like lasagna than pizza. Overall it tasted more like lasagna on toast than pizza. If this sounds like the pizza for you I would definitely try this out! The employees were super nice and the restaurant is cute. read more

Hartford Road Pizza - Found this in my pizza - Pizza Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

I finally got to try there pizzeria who say that C J is the only place to get a good pizza. I was very impress with there meat lover large pizza. finally a thicker crust pizza not that the thin crust is any less better. nice to know there are different types in the Manchester area I would recommend it.I would have given a five star noticed they need to add a little bit more around the edges along the crust otherwise it was perfect read more

Not a fan ! I stopped going there a few years ago when they couldn't get a simple order for a grinder correct. Decided to give them another try recently and came issue with leaving off two items I asked for on my grinder. Worst grinder in Manchester! Soggy stale roll, hardly any meat, thin lettuce and zero taste ! of course they forgot my tomato and put mayo on one side of the roll only . yucky! read more

Friendly atmosphere but we were blown away by their pizza. We ordered a Special with everything on it. The amount of meat & vegies was unbelievable. The flavor was outstanding. I always ask for extra sauce. Sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't but here they definitely listened. This will be our new pizza spot! read more

ehhhhh, maybe 3 and a fraction rounded up and then added a surcharge for not using cash! lol, see what i did there hartford rd pizza? so pretty ok pizza, greek? maybe, not 100% sure, but square cut on a round pie. focus on the cheese, tastes real, i know, you would hope so, but its a bit on the heavier side, maybe due to total cheese used? not sure, but thats my impression. so fairly quick turn around for a pizza order during prime dinner hours. expensive though and this is an issue for us. i mean, if i am paying mulberry st prices, i can just go get a pizza at....yea, its not about them though. be prepared, they charge you for using a card card, i find this petty and stupid, but thats their model so fine. i know a cash only pizza can be alluring, fine, then make the whole place cash only, dont charge me more because i dont want to touch your change. done read more

I've never seen a lasagna like this. It wasn't even hot! We are regular costumers. read more

Hartford Road Pizza - a pan of deep dish pizza - Pizza Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

Had several issues with door dash-repeatedly the store gave away my order. I'm very sad because they used to be a good place. Do not order online. Demand delivery with cash payment to ensure you're not screwed over. Management refused to take any kind of responsibility for this repeated action. Sad to see a local business sink so low read more

I order a half of sausage grinder and this was my 3rd time going there the other 2 times it was ok. but they have a real problem with adding extra sauce but today I asked for extra sauce and the sauce barley coated the bread and plus they only gave me two pieces of sausage cut in half I mean what kind of crap is that. I will never go there again read more

Well tried another restaurant tonight with lily have to give kudos to Hartford road pizza I love sausage and meatball grinders but have always been disappointed with the flavor of the sausage usually never had a taste to add to the flavor of the meatballs but I have to say Hartford road pizza uses a nice hot sausage which has a mice robust flavor. Now let me tell you about the pizza lily ordered it was the spaghetti and meatball what a great idea it was as if you had your spaghetti and meatballs placed on a warm slice of garlic bread it was a nice combo with great flavor in each bite You really should give them a try, and when you do please say hi to patty she is a scream and a great waitress. They do serve beer and wine. The only reason I gave it 4 star is I want to go back and try something else to which I don't think I'll be disappointed read more

First let me say how AWESOME of a job these guys do. Consistently bringing their A-game and serving top notch quality food backed up with phenomenal customer service! I was a loyal customer of another local restaurant but after 3 separate occasions of them not getting my order right and then having horrible customer service I decided it was time to find another place. I'm glad I did. Because Hartford Road Pizza is absolutely amazing in every aspect! I am addicted to their pasta fagioli, and their spinach Specialty pizza is to die for. You want to talk grinder? Yup they got them too, my go to is the sausage/meatball parm. And being an overstuffed 16" sub its easily 2 meals. They make a calzone that will make any mouth happy! I cant say enough good things about this place. My only regret is I waited so long to walk in their front door and place that order! Everything is homemade, generous portions, and I'm telling ya you wont find better customer service anywhere! If you haven't been here before do yourself a favor and check them out! You will be glad you did. So to Ben and the team at Hartford Road Pizza thank you for everything! You guys rock!!!! read more

I'd say the pizza was decent...maybe between 2 and 3 stars. I had it for the first time because the location is very convenient for me. I would not go out of my way to get it again and I'll probably go with a different option in the future. Also, I thought it was strange that a small pizza was cut into squares and not cut like a pie read more

This is our go to pizza place .. Since they are one of few who deliver home around the area. Anytime we have friends over we order from here and usually one large pizza , one portion garlic bread and some buffalo wings does the trick. Reasonably priced ...all for around 50 bucks. The pizzas are lil deep dish not thin crust... Huge.Cut into squares.Flavorful,loaded and still warm when delivered. 1/2 portion garlic breads should be good unless you have more than 3-4 ppl. read more

Best pizza in Manchester!!! The food is amazing, the waitress is always so nice and we are never disappointed! It's a homey restaurant that you will want to keep coming back to. The inside is small, but there is a bar, a tv and outdoor seating. Pros- friendly waitress, tv/bar, amazing food, large portions, not too pricey, take out/ delivery, outside seating Con- not a lot of sitting room (inside) read more

Ordered regularly until recently. Apparently changed the way they accept orders (won't take them over the phone for delivery) and the app they connect to off their site doesn't work properly. When I explained that to them on the phone, there was nothing they did to remedy the situation. read more

Great pizza! Our family orders a large pizza every week give or take. The crust is perfect and the cheese is amazing when it's melted on the crust. We have also tried their pasta with meat sauce and added in some meatballs and cheese garlic bread to the order and had enough for several servings. Highly recommend!! read more

Love this place...as soon as I walked in I felt like family..im a pretty picky pizza person...but this was one of the BEST pizzas I have ever had... read more

I love pizza......a lot! We had a Groupon for this place so we went there this weekend for an early dinner. All in all, it was barely an decent experience. The pizza (which IS cut into squares....not so annoying and great if you have kids) is merely okay. Not good, not bad. A sprinkle of red pepper helped a lot and we had more than enough for the next day.....but it's nothing I would go out of my way for....even if I lived locally. The chicken parm dinner, on the other hand, was a complete disaster. My husband took one bite and wouldn't even take the rest home. The chicken was so mushy that once he unearthed the mound of sauce and cheese that covered it, it was simply awful. The prices are a bit steep for such a local place....but they seem to do a lot of takeout business. I gave it 2 stars b/c the Staff are very friendly and the pizza wasn't as bad as some 1-star pizza that I've had in the past. read more

I ordered delivery. The lasagna was more expensive than other pizza places. It showed up lukewarm and tasteless. Almost $20 for a single entree plus delivery. I would hope at least it was hot. There are other pizza and Italian places within a mile of this one who offer delivery, food is great, hot, and prices are more reasonable. read more

Ordered delivery from here for the first time last week. The lady taking the order was very nice and helpful, but that was the only five star part of the experience. We ordered a medium cheese pizza, buffalo wings, and a half order of garlic bread. It came to 30 dollars which seemed a little much for the amount and quality of the food. The food was just okay. Not bad, but nothing I would rush to order again. The sauce on the pizza wasn't that great, but I did like the crust. read more

Hartford Road Pizza probably hasn't even been open for a year yet, but they seem to have built up quiet a following. They do a lot of to go business but also have about 10 tables inside. I wouldn't recommend it for huge groups because they are mainly 2 person tables. The parking lot is always full. I have only ate in here once and taken food to go 2-3 times, and never been disappointed. Their location is great to me because they are right across the street from Little Theatre of Manchester, meaning if I am there for something I can just grab a quick bite to eat here. Their grinders might seem a bit expensive because a large is 10 bucks, but don't let it keep you away. Not only is it delicious, its also HUGE. I believe a large is 18 inches long, so for most people thats probably 3 meals. read more

Solid little pizza place. 3.5 stars. Not sure they officially take reservations, but they're kind enough to setup a table if we call in our order ~10 minutes before arriving, which is very helpful with keeping lunch short on a work day. They also have Hosmer soda, which is a nice little treat each time I go. Can't wait to try some of the other specialty pizzas.. read more

Not just a super clean, homey atmosphere where everyone seems to know each other, (in a good way) but the dough is always fresh, (it matters!), food is always exceptional and the service always with smiles. They truly are the master of pizza, did I mention they have a great al fresco area? Pamela S. read more

I think they make the best pizza in the area. The only way it could be better is if you merged Tomato Joe's dough with their toppings and flavor. Don't take me wrong. There isn't anything wrong with their pizza. I lover their "everything" pizza. The place is small but cozy. Only a few tables and a counter to sit at. read more

The everything pizza is totally amazing. Best pizza around town. The staff is always friendly. Great place. They even have fried dough!!

Yep... thought it was odd that I could put a pizza place right in the middle with three stars. It was destined to teeter one way or the other. 2 Groupon-purchased pizzas later and I'm reluctant to even offer 2-stars. My last two experiences brought either an absurdly long wait beyond the estimated time for pick up (it's okay if you're busy... just don't tell me 15 minutes and then have me standing there waiting for a half hour when I show up on time) and a greasy, burned, otherwise flavorless mess that I could barely force down a single piece of. read more

Good pizza. I always like those pizzas with the thick crusty chewy 'handles'. This is one of those! Friendly crew.

It's very good pizza for the style it is, which is the type of pizza that is cut into squares, isn't very deep, but isn't thin crust either. I don't know any official title for that, other than saying it's not chicago or New York style. I prefer New York style, so that's why it doesn't get a better rating from me. They do a very good at putting the toppings right into the pizza. It doesn't taste or look like they're lazily put on, they mostly put the toppings right underneath the cheese. There sauce isn't too overpowering and there's a fair amount of cheese but it doesn't feel like there is too much or too little of either. I've only picked up pizza here so can't describe the conditions inside well. Overall it definitely makes for a good but not great pizza. I'd recommend it. read more
