I all bought two slices of pizza - one was spinach ricotta, and other meatball parm. Both were very generously loaded w toppings. Both were very good, but definitely below New Haven-style. I guess I'm a pizza snob. They were just a bit doughy for my taste. So, 5 stars for the pastry, 3.5 for the slices, overall rounded to 4.25. 4 Yelp stars

"Top of the list King of the hill…read moreA number one" (Frank Sinatra) We've been to a ton of Italian bakeries over the years. But I don't think we've ever fallen as head-over-heels in love with one as we did when we set foot into the Russo Pastry Shop. It's one of the most visually stunning bakeries I've ever seen! Walking into the store reminded me of the moment in the Wizard of Oz movie when the images transform from black and white into color. That's because vibrant, bright, gorgeous colors are everywhere inside Russo's. An embarrassment of riches are everywhere in the form of cannolis, cookies, pastries, and cake slices, And if you want some savory treats to accompany your sweet treats, well... no worries because Russo has pizzas, calzones, grinders, frozen pastas, parmigianas, and soups. We picked up a gorgeous slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, and it was so fantastic it's hard to put into words. We went into their freezer case and picked up two entrees -eggplant parmigiana and chicken parmigiana. They were priced as a $16.99 BOGO deal. We had both last week, and the portions in the containers were easily splitable for the two of us. The chicken parm seemed to have more inside the container than the eggplant did, and we both thought it was better than the eggplant. In essence we ended up with four dinner portions for just $16.99. Do the math-that's a tremendous value. After you do the math, do yourself a favor and take a ride over to Russo's for a fantastic experience.

I really wanted to like this place, I really did. However it seemed to fall short on many levels…read moreand I struggled with the 3-star rating because it really could have been better. I stopped in for a takeout lunch and grabbed four slices and a drink. Normally when I try a pizza place I go for the plain cheese slice first (b/c if you can't do that well I'm not interested in anything else) but they didn't have any available so I'll go slice by slice with this review. First up was the White Pizza, simple pie with Ricotta, Mozzarella and Parmigiano. This wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't very flavorful. Most places will use a garlic and herb base or something to give it some extra flavor but this was just ok. The Chicken-Bacon-Ranch was probably the best of the four I tried, though it was a little light on the toppings. If it had a bit more chicken and/or bacon I would have enjoyed it a lot more than I did but overall it was good, but could be much better. The Buffalo Chicken pizza was not what I am used to. I'm spoiled by the version that Hometown Pizza does where the chicken chunks are breaded and sauced and the finished pie is topped with bleu cheese dressing. This was a pizza with shredded chicken and hot sauce so, technically buffalo chicken but like the other slices, lacking on the toppings so hard to say it was anything other than just "OK". The Big Mac slice was really the biggest disappointment. First off, the Big Mac is a BURGER and there was hardly any burger on the pizza at all. Though there were some sesame seeds present there were none on the crust. The primary toppings here seem to be the 'sauce' and lettuce which tasted more like Russian dressing than "Big Mac" sauce. It's a nice enough place, cozy inside and the staff is friendly for the most part, I wouldn't mind sitting down for a nice lunch but, as many others have mentioned there are a LOT of good pizza places within a short distance so I'm not sure I'll be coming back anytime soon. I'm not sure why they're so light on the toppings but if your slice pies are that skimpy there's no way I'd order a whole pie. Barely three stars.

I thought it was weird that a pizza joint would be this quiet on a Friday night but now I know why…read more I decided to try this spot out as I was in the area and needed to grab dinner. Wanted something easy to bring home. I read about the Big Mac pizza and I just had to try it. The girl that took my order was super nice and friendly. They had one slice left and it looked like it had been sitting there for a while but I was already committed. Decided to add a Caprese salad in place of more pizza. There are seats inside, but it seems like this is more of a take out kind of vibe so I ordered everything to go. The pizza: well that was disappointing. The ratio is all wrong - needs way more meat on it. Not a fan. The salad: not quite what I was expecting. It was big but not enjoyable. Ingredients didn't seem very fresh. With so many other great places to grab pizza from in Glastonbury (Angelo's, Giovanni's, etc) I would recommend going somewhere else if you're looking for a good pie!

The Slice Mob rolled into Hartford Pizza Garden's new location today, and we were not disappointed…read more First things first, plenty of parking. That's already a win in Hartford. Walking inside, the vibe is cool, relaxed, and full of pizza nostalgia. There are nods to Hartford pizza history throughout the space, but what really catches your eye are the hydroponic gardens suspended above the dining room. Fresh basil is growing right over your head and eventually finds its way onto the pizzas. That's a pretty neat touch. The best way I can describe Hartford Pizza Garden is this: it's like the Town Green in Pizza Heaven. They've got New Haven-style, Grandma, and Detroit pizza all under one roof. I started with the New Haven red pie. Nice crunch, plenty of flavor, and a beautiful bake underneath. The sauce is bright, bold, and tomato-forward with Parmigiano and fresh basil added after the bake. The sauce isn't over-seasoned, allowing the tomatoes to take center stage and do what they do best. Next up was the Grandma pie. Thicker than the New Haven pie and built upside-down style. The sauce and cheese complement each other perfectly. The crust was soft and pillowy with a crunchy underside that kept me reaching for another slice. Then came the Detroit. The thickest of the three with a beautiful open crumb. Soft, tender, and sturdy enough to support all the toppings. Same excellent sauce, loaded with cup-and-char pepperoni. The crispy pepperoni adds great texture against the soft base. And that frico along the edge? Yes please. The fried cheese crust paired perfectly with the pepperoni and added another layer of crunch and flavor. A couple of other customer favorites are the Taco Pizza and the Shepherd's Pie Pizza. Unfortunately, I ran out of room before I could tackle those. There are limits to my talent. If you're looking for a spot that offers three distinct pizza styles, a fun atmosphere, and some serious attention to detail, Hartford Pizza Garden is worth a visit. The Slice Mob will definitely be back.

I think the vibe here is more of a just come in and eat good pizza, simple or take it home! Never had Detroit style pizza before so I ordered a slice of the sausage, I wasn't too crazy about it, the cheese seemed off to me but I still ate it. Now the New Haven style fig pizza (I added bacon) was absolutely delicious. The combination of sweet and salty flavors was delightful. The crust was a little on the chewy side but overall I would come back here for this pizza. As a New Havener, never thought I'd recommend a pizza joint in the 860 but I say def give it a shot!!!

An IG content creator recently said George's was there favorite pizza in Hartford. I'd driven by…read moreGeorge's but had never been. So I recently ordered a medium pizza with green peppers. For me, the strength was the cheese. It was very melted and there was plenty of it. The chopped green peppers were good. The crust was unique. It seemed like it should have been Greek style, and it was similar, but it was lighter and less crunchy. Reviewer Don P did a deep drive on the crust style in his review, and I'm going to defer to his detailed analysis. The crust was pretty good, but it wasn't up there with my favorite styles. My least favorite part of the pizza was the sauce. It wasn't bad. It just didn't pop for me flavor-wise like my favorite sauces. It was kind of mild and didn't take much of a stand in any direction. If you're a cheese person, I can see why you'd like George's pizza. 3.5 Stars

We did try the regular NY style and some mozzarella wedges and I will definitely be back! The pizza was thin, but not floppy. Good amount of cheese and sauce. Reminded me of the pizza I had in college in NYC and westchester. It had good flavor. The mozz wedges were good, nice size, wish there was some more seasoning in the breadcrumbs but still they were good! Like the sauce. Gray experience overall. Next time I will try a different pizza and maybe some salad or a sandwich or pasta. The man working there was very nice, it was easy to order online. And $17 bucks for the large seemed reasonable. They do deliver within a 5 mile radius I think, which I didn't know so maybe we will do that next time. This place is definitely worth a try!
