    We rolled into Mondo Middletown like we hadn't eaten in a week. Fifteen deep. Loud. Hungry. Ready to do damage. I went straight for the Mondo special, thin crust, crisp, and built right. First bite told the story. The undercarriage had structure, the edge had crunch, and the toppings stayed in balance instead of sliding into chaos. Onion, peppers, sauce, pepperoni, sausage, bacon... all playing their role, nobody trying to be the star, and that's exactly why it worked. This wasn't a greasy overload pie. It was composed. Clean flavors. Sauce present but not drowning the dough. Cheese doing its job without turning the slice into a blanket. Around the table, it turned into a full-on pizza parade. * Barbecue chicken made the rounds. Sweet and Smokey * Tomato basil, simple, bright, the kind of pie you underestimate until it disappears * Sicilian, thicker, airy, satisfying, the "one slice turns into three" situation * Ozzy Egg, the wildcard. Rich, different, and the pie people kept talking about between bites I didn't personally get into every pie, but you could read the table. Heads nodding. Silence during bites. That "hold on, let me finish chewing" look. Universal pizza language for "yeah... this is legit." Keith came out and greeted us and jumped in for a photo like he'd known us for years. That stuff isn't staged. You can tell when it's genuine, and this was. The staff stayed on it the whole time. Drinks refilled, pies landing hot, check-ins without hovering. Friendly, attentive, and clearly used to handling a busy dining room without letting it feel chaotic. What stood out most was consistency. Nothing felt like a throwaway option. Whether thin crust, Sicilian, or specialty, the kitchen knew what it was doing. And the vibe matched the food. Casual. Welcoming. Built for groups. Built for exactly what we did, show up with friends, order too much, and stay longer than planned. Slice Mob left full and happy! Slice Mob Approved!

    Cheese slices!
    Tim S.

    Very good pizza! Crust is thin but not too thin. With a bit of chew as well as crisp. Sauce was great- subtle and not overwhelming. Cheese was perfect. Slices are quite big if ordering by the slice. Will definitely return!

    I went to Mondos Pizza in Middletown CT for the second time this past weekend and it was amazing. My sister got pizza , but I ordered the turkey avocado panini. It came with beer battered fries, which are to die for(no exaggeration). The panini was huge and really good. I had enough leftovers for two days. However, the wings were seasoned well but a little too fried and tough to chew. Overall, the food was good and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals.. I will DEFINITELY be back!

    Butternut Spaghetti
    Michele C.

    I love Mondo in Middletown! This place stays busy and that's because their food is delicious. I wasn't in the mood for pizza so I ordered pasta instead. I ordered spaghetti with garlic, butternut squash and Soppressata. OMG it was DELICIOUS & the presentation was incredible. The waitress went above and beyond and even brought me toasted bread with a side of olive oil and garlic for dipping. My brother got their Sicilian pizza and he loved it. My sister in law customized her own pizza and she was quite happy as well. The restaurant is a decent sized with a small bar. As said earlier it is always busy and they do a substantial amount of take out business as well. Definitely should be on your list! You won't be disappointed!

    Sausage Peppers
    Jason P.

    I've been to Mondo for pizza a few times, but until a few months ago, not since Portnoy gave them an 8.1. When I previously visited, my expectations weren't quite met, which probably had something to do with all the great buzz Mondo gets. For my most recent visit, I ordered a sausage and pepper pizza, and it was the best pizza I've ever had from Mondo. I'd call Mondo New York style thin crust. The sausage was in crumble form and the sausage juices flavored the pizza well. The peppers were good. The pizza had a good mix of crisp and chew. Average floppiness for a thin crust pizza with toppings. Nice cheese. Service was friendly and efficient. I'm far more likely to return to Mondo after this experience, than my prior experiences. 4.25 Stars

    Pizza and salad lunch special
    Dee C.

    I ordered a to go lunch special - 1/2 Caesar salad with chicken pesto panini- freshly made and delicious. Mondo has a rewards program that you register for- to day I got $5 off - so it was $9. The staff is always welcoming and friendly.

    Nate's Lunch pizza
    Morgan L.

    Mondo has been consistently great for a long time. Not only do they have great pizza, the rest of their menu never disappoints either. They have a small but delicious selection of pastas that always hit, and a bunch of paninis and salads. Our server was super friendly and I think their prices are fair too. This visit we ordered a Nate's lunch pie and a Waldorf salad. Their crust is thin, crispy, and chewy. This pizza had garlic, cheese, fresh tomatoes, bacon, and basil. It was delicious! I added lots of chili flakes as I often do, and next time I might ask if they could bake some into my pie because it was really good that way. The salad was fresh and perfectly dressed. It was an off time, but they were still busy, and there can often be a wait in the evenings to sit down. It's a fairly small space and can get a little loud when it's super busy, just as a note. They're definitely worth the visit though!

    Risotto Fritters
    Joanne S.

    Mondo knows how to have Happy Hour on Weekdays 3-6. Had their incredible house white Sangria $5.00. Also I tried an item off the regular menu that not on the HH menu today. I had the Risotto Fritters that are homemade three cheese risotto fritters served with whipped ricotta. $12.95 and you get 6 good size balls. They were very filling and delicious. Try them you won't be disappointed. and of course the White Sangria was an added touch with the blood oranges that are freshly cut up in it. Grab a seat at the bar and get quick service and wonderful service.

    Turkey sandwich and fries
    Cheyenne O.

    I am not lying when I say this is the best turkey sandwich and fries I've ever had Huge portions and so much flavor! I love the crispy texture and flavor on the fries. So good! I will absolutely be back.

    This is one of my go to pizza places! We usually get a bacon or pepperoni, but we opted in for their specialty pizza. It came with bacon, pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, olives. The crust has just enough crispiness and the pizza isn't soggy, even with all of the toppings!! Service was quick, even with a little bit of wait time.

    5/5/2025: large mondo special
    Valerie R.

    Since my last review, I have gone to Mondo more often, and have figured out that I only like their pizza when I dine in. I don't like it take out, and I don't like it cold, or reheated. It's a good choice for pizza in Middletown, when you're able to enjoy it hot and fresh! (They do a HUGE takeout business so I can assume most of Middletown disagrees with me lol...personal preference!) They have a great happy hour, and a few outdoor tables. Their salads are excellent, and large enough to share, if you're also getting other items. The staff are friendly and they hustle!

I do wish there were more signs, as both the parking lot and the entrance felt a bit vague and easy to miss. Once we finally found our way inside, we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere reminded me of another local tavern. Staffed by friendly people. The food was good, and the overall experience was enjoyable. My only disappointment was the lack of information about the history of the establishment. There is a lot of marketing that references its connection to a jailhouse on the menu, but very little information is actually shared within the tavern itself. I found myself wanting to learn more about the story behind the place. I also think it would be fun to add a photo-op area--perhaps even outdoors--with a set of mock jail bars where guests could take pictures. It would fit the theme and add a memorable touch. The tavern itself is fairly small, so I can imagine it gets quite crowded during busy times. Overall, it's definitely worth checking out.

They have pretzels with dips, gourmet stuffed pretzels, pretzel sandwiches, wings, tenders and fish and chips.

I had the Christmasaurus in a red ceramic dinosaur and my wife had a Butter Rum Mocktail in a winking Santa mug. My drink was tasty and the mugs were fun. We bought a couple of the fun mugs to go. A person who I believe was the owner and the chef, was wearing a Christmas sweater and obviously loves the Christmas theme. Our server who doubled as the bartender was a bit more stoic about the theme. LOL. The food was generally good. It seemed like the pretzels may have picked up another aroma from the kitchen while the pretzels were cooking, because they had a slight aftertaste. Manageable, but not ideal. The pretzels looked great and had good texture. The beer cheese dip and mustard dip were both good. My pretzel stuffed with Mac and Cheese and short rib was good.

    Bergen House is a craft meadery that opened in Middletown, Connecticut in September 2020. It was…read morefounded by army veteran Talon Bergen. He first began experimenting with homebrewing when his brother-in-law gifted him a Mr. Beer kit. The first batch of Bergen's homebrew was awful, but the kit came with an interesting book that he read over and over again. He soon became fascinated with the science behind brewing and fermentation. Later on, a friend gifted him a bottle of homemade mead. Bergen's wife Emilie liked it much more than any beer she ever tried, so he decided to try his hand at crafting mead. Mead is a fermented beverage made from a mixture of honey, water and yeast. It is the oldest fermented beverage known to man (predating beer, wine and cider). Like his first batch of beer, Bergen's first batch of mead was also awful. After several months, Bergen finally began making mead that was drinkable. The Bergens later had an idea to open their own brewery. After seeing how many breweries that Connecticut already had, they instead decided to open a meadery. The Bergens found a space in Middletown's old trolley barn building to house their meadery and taproom. Although not the state's only meadery, Bergen House is the only one to have its own taproom for on-site consumption. I recently visited Bergen House for the first time after going for a long bike ride on the nearby Air Line State Park Trail. I was greeted by Emilie Bergen who was very friendly and talked to me about the different meads. There were eight different meads on tap during my visit. Each one has different spices and fruits added for flavoring. I ordered a sampler flight which featured "Crime Scene" (Rye Bourbon Barrel-Aged Sweet & Sour Cherry Mead), "Local Buzz" (Dry Mead made with local honey from Hilltop Apiaries), "Wally" (Off-Dry Mead made with wildflower honey, green tea and Citra hops), and "Grapefruit Meads Business" (Wildflower Mead flavored with rosemary, grapefruit & ginger). The latter two were my favorites! Emilie also gave me a small sample of "Bochet": a traditional French Mead made with wildflower honey caramelized before fermentation. I ended up taking home a growlito of "Wally", which tasted a lot like a honey-infused New England IPA. I had a great experience at Bergen House and I look forward to returning!
