A quick stop to get a quick bite and our order really consisted of 3 slices... 2 murshroom slices and 1 cheese slice. The $3 cheese slice was amazing and definitely recommend that. What I don't recommend is the mushroom slice where they use canned mushrooms. Tasted pretty meh. Small family run place though which was extremely busy on a Fri evening! read more

Michael's Pizzeria Restaurant - Mushroom Slice ($5) - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

We visited Michael's while in Stamford and loved it so much we had dinner delivered to our hotel the next night. First night was Calamari Marinara w/ fresh, homemade bread and Caprese salad. It was fabulous! Not just the food, but the service, too. Like eating with dear family friends. Second night was Meat-lover's pizza. Superb!! Now I know why Connecticut is the pizza capital of the U.S.! Do yourself a favor and try this family-owned gem! read more

Solid delivery pizza. Definitely some of the better non-chain pizza in Stamford. Delivery was quick, pizza was hot to go! Great New York style pie for Friday nights or football sundays! read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid. This is a terrific neighborhood joint that serves up really delicious pizza. They do a good job with the toppings with my favorite being meatball. You can tell that everything from the ingredients to the dough is fresh and ready to order! read more

Michael's Pizzeria Restaurant - Meatball pizza - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

I've been coming here since elementary school . I am now bringing my kids here and they love the food here. I love the food and family that runs this place! read more

Love the food, the service and the ambiance. It's a family owned and family run business and they make you feel like their own family

Sadly, my opinion of Michael's has changed over subsequent visits. Mostly, this is due to the fact that the crispy crust I experienced during my first encounter never rematerialized. Instead, the crust has been flabby and floppy, which is not at all my preference when it comes to pizza, as it just ends up in a gooey mess. If this is your jam, by all means, give Michael's a chance. But for me, I think I'm going to look elsewhere in Stamford for the perfect slice of pizza. read more

I would give it a 2 on a scale of 1-10. No flavor, limp and doughy crust. Cheese is tasteless. On a positive note it's cheap but it's also not worth eating. read more

Moved to Stamford recently. Haven't found a good Sicilian pie around here until I tried Michaels. I am so happy to have found a local pizzeria. They are the nicest people too! So accommodating and friendly! Nice to support a local business that gives good customer service. Please support this establishment! The Sicilian pizza is delicious as well as their meatballs ! Looking forward to trying other menu options. read more

Michael's Pizzeria Restaurant - Sicilian - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

The absolute best pizza/Italian restaurant in Stamford Connecticut. Michael, the owner an Italian by birth has had many pizzeria's here in Connecticut and NY City. Authentic Italian cuisine and pizza just like you would get in NYC. Highly recommended! read more

First time here, the pizza came out nice and crispy with perfect crust, the staff was welcoming and beyond nice, come here for pizza needs!

Love this place so much! I have lived in NYC for years and this measures up to NYC pizza! The family that owns it are amazing. Always nice and pizza always consistent. Absolutely my go to for pizza. Have been going here since I was a kid and still my favorite pizza in Fairfield county. Family helps with that rating. One time I prepaid and forgot and went to pay again, the woman immediately gave me the money back. Parking is typically a nightmare but they will run it out to your car for you. Just love it! One of my favorite places to eat! read more

How can my review from 6 years go not be on here? When all I wanted to eat during pregnancy was pizza,,, this was my top find. Fast forward 6 years, I remembered it when we were in the area. It was the BEST mushroom slice I've had in ages. Perfectly cooked crust with delicious flavor-- the whole crust is edible and easy to chew unlike others. Delicious sauce and cheese. And only $2.50 a slice with today's prices?? I walked in and there was a huge family party going on... everyone taking pasta and sauce out of the pots...It brought me back to my childhood visiting the Bronx and I really needed that comfort that day as it was my first time out since losing my Dad. He would have thought this pizza was the best. Just like the good Bronx slices we used to get. I really appreciate how friendly and kind they were too and so appreciative when I told them they forgot to charge me. Thanks Michael's - not only for having the best tasting pizza around but for being good, kind and grateful people. read more

Michael's consistently makes a quality pie, never disappoints. Also, if you're in the mood for a hero, try the chicken parm grinder read more

Very tasty! Their Sicilian is very thick and will do the job of filling you up. Antipasto is fresh!

Such a hidden gem. I think their pizza is one of the best in Stamford, and you can't beat the prices. Crust is always perfectly crispy.... My go to pizza spot read more

Great sicilian meat lovers and antipasto! Huge mozzarella sticks w tomatoes sauce to compliment. And fast service! read more

Always a tasty meal. Every time I order from here, they never disappoint. I highly recommend Michael's to anyone that will listen.

Michaels was and will always be one of the biggest food staples I've ever had. I grew up eating their pizza, especially the Sicilian (I can honestly say it's ruined me for life and I have yet to try any remotely as good). I love the fact that it's a family owned restaurant, they're all really nice people and you can tell they've been a major part of the community. Their pizza is just amazing and they're always very welcoming. I will definitely always consider this place the best place to get a Sicilian in Stamford or basically anywhere in CT. read more

The pizza is excellent and they have wonderful service. The staff is friendly and you can watch them make the pizza. I really enjoy the margarita pizza and the pepperoni pizza. read more

Awful experience all around.. pizza is average at best and service was abominable. They took over an hour and a half to deliver and got the order wrong as an added bonus.. ordered large half sausage / mushroom half pepperoni.. they delivered a medium sausage.. we were starving and with the delivery guy gone ate the pizza and called to let them know the the issue anticipating maybe a small credit to make things right.. nope.. owner (or manager) was defensive and borderline confrontational blaming distance on long delivery time and said we shouldn't have eaten the pizza if we wanted a credit. Right.. we should have waited another 90 mins for them to get our order straight. No prob guys.. I'll just order from one of the other 490 pizza places in Stamford. read more

I've enjoyed their Consistent quality pizza and calzones for over 30 years. One of the best pizza place in Stamford.

This place is great! Stopped in during the COVID crisis and staff was still very welcoming. Classic, Italian run pizzeria. We ordered a pepperoni pie - crust was thin, not at all soggy, perfectly cooked, mozzarella sticks - probably the BEST I've ever had... EVER, tomato and mozzarella salad - abundance of fresh mozzarella with tomatoes, olive oil and fresh garlic, and wings - crispy and well fried. Definitely recommend. read more

Such a great find! Delicious New York style pizza, both regular and sicilian pies are consistently outstanding. Also excellent parmigiana heros and salads. Very reasonable prices and delivery is always fast. So happy we stumbled upon this place!! read more

Meh. Very small slices of pie. Flavor was so-so. Nothing proprietary about their pie.

Their white pizza is amazing as is the extra cheese. We are new to Stamford from NYC and the fact that we loved this pizza is an extreme compliment. Seriously white pizza is to die for!!! Super quick also read more

Great Sicilian margarita pizza! They do a great jo at getting a nice crispy. Ase and yet maintain the fluffy softness of the dough as it rises. The cheese is a perfect ratio - highly recommend! Wish they did Neapolitan style, they would crush it! Gotta come back and try their normal pizza & calzones. Place is clean & the people are great. They serve beer too! read more

The pizza was ehhhhhh. It wasn't horrible but it def didn't hit the spot. The biggest turn off was the overall sloppiness. The presentation of the food was lacking. I also noticed that one of the men working there was cutting onions on a metal counter with no cutting board or gloves. Not the cleanest place. read more

I never believe pizza reviews because the pizzas usually tend to be gross. My boyfriend ran and got me some slices of cheese pizza. First, they made an entire pizza pie just so I could get 2 slices. 2nd, THIS IS the best thin slice of pizza I have ever had. It was really delicious. A very soft crust and tasty sauce. I would eat this all the time. ---------- Update. Still the best pizza. Love the soft crust and flavors. Only downside doesn't taste the same reheated or cold. read more

I lived in Stamford for 16 years and never tried Michael's until my friend introduced me to Michael's recently. It brought back my childhood's memories of NYC pizza/sicilian. If you live close to Shippan or dropping your kids off at Chelsea then you've gotta try Michael's pizza at least once. You'll not be disappointed. read more

Seriously the best pizza ANYWHERE. Crisp but chewy crust, fresh sauce and everything you want in mozzarella cheese. I judge any pizza place on how outstanding their plain cheese, no frills pizza is and Michael's exceeds that test every time. I've been eating here since I was 3 years old. You must be sure to try their meatballs (the sub is to die for and the meatballs are even better on a pizza. No bagged Cisco meatballs here!!! These puppies are homemade and FRESH!) and their penne vodka. The penne vodka isn't on the menu but they DO serve it and it's the best around. Every meal with the Lionetti's is like a Sunday family dinner and michael's is the ONE and only thing I miss about living in Stamford. Run, don't walk here. You won't regret it. read more

Excellent Sicilian pizza!!! Definitely nice to have a place I can rely on now! No wonder why they have been in business for 42 years...

I've lived in Cove for almost 3 years and cannot believe I have never tried this great pizzeria! The pizza was absolutely delicious- thin, soft tasty dough, with just the right amount of crisp. Cheese was just right. The Mozz sticks were okay, tasted a little oily and lacked some flavor though. Their pizza is the real winner here. Delivery was fast. Found my new favorite spot close to home! read more

Pizza was really good and so were the motz sticks. Unfortunately the wings were breaded which isn't the end of the world but wish it was clear on the menu as we do not like beaded wings they are heaving and greasy. Delivery guy forgot our salad, called the restaurant and they handled it and fixed it immediately. Will order again! read more

Ordered from Yelp today because of the great avg. review stars. Unfortunately was really disappointed. The pizza crust was soggy and so chewy that I had to gnash my teeth together to get off a bite. I could barely get through one slice of the large I ordered for my family. My sons also did not like it so it ended up in the waste bin first and LAST time. read more

No matter what we get from here pizza calzone pasta or salad you name it it's good. Never had an issue with anything that we ordered. We have been going here for over ten years or more and get treated like family .... read more

Food was great, best mozzarella sticks around and very tasty chicken, pasta and sandwiches.

Ordered buffalo chicken tenders and got a plate of chopped breaded chicken. Very disappointing.

Best pizza in Stamford! My husband loves the cheese tortellini Alfredo, the lasagna is delicious, and the cheesecake is creamy and rich. Delivery is always prompt! Highly recommend! read more

Best pizza in Stamford as far as I'm concerned. The toppings are fresh and tasty. Plus the owner is super nice and the delivery guys are actually pleasant compared to other delivery guys. The only slight downside is the pizza is a little greasy, but it certainly doesn't take away from the yummy flavors. read more
