I love this place. They have the best pizza in the greater Hartford area. The crust is not too thick not too thin, never burnt and always tasty. read more

Found a parking spot right in front of the place. The restaurant only has three tables and a bar with stools area. So forewarned that seating is very limited if you want to eat there. At 1 o'clock on a Friday afternoon, this place was busy with takeout. Service was fair at best, as the waitress, cashier, grabbed the drinks, appetizers and provide takeout service as was really busy. Owners, how about helping her out a little bit when she's busy. There were three of you in the back doing nothing. After waiting about 20 minutes for the waitress, I walked up to the counter and placed the order verbally at the counter, The order was for a large pepperoni pizza, and two sodas. Also included with the large pizza was a mysterious order of rice pudding, which we never received. The pizza arrived after about 35 minutes wait, and it was greasy. I attribute the grease from the mozzarella. The sauce was on point though. There was very little flop on this medium thickness pizza. It looked Greek. This was just a typical pizza nothing fancy. The pizza won't be memorable to me. The pizza with two drinks was $26 and a fairly good bargain. I don't think I'd try this place again, but it was worth a shot since I was in the Newington area. I didn't check the restrooms. But if they looked anything like this outdated restaurant, they were fair at best. read more

Why would you waste your money on this place? I got 2 pizzas here, one with meat and one a veggie. As I told my wife, mcDonald's served better pizza back in the day when they sold pizza. The storefront seems nice and neat when you enter. While a bit small, it appears most of the business is take out. Only one person sitting at a bar stool in a curved area with a few larger tables behind. The woman at the register couldn't be bothered to even look up to acknowledge she knew we were there. She was on the phone but even a glance up would have been nice. No worries as she did finally tell us she would be right with us, after she hung up the phone a good 3-4 minutes after we were standing in front of her. Even that isn't a big deal in the scheme of things. The big deal is how bad the pizza is on taste and quality. Bad crust, bad body, old cheese, hard and seemingly old pepperoni, all married to a sauce that even my young child said tasted like ketchup. Frankly, this is one of the worst local pizza spot pizzas I've ever eaten in over 45 years of my life. The crust is ok though the body of the pizza seems like they are trying to cross pan and thin crust with a soft doughy middle area on the slice that does no favors to fans of either type. The toppings were of very poor quality and not fresh at all. The roast part was the sauce as even my young child noted. It tasted like ketchup with some spices added. You could do better by purchasing a store bought mass produced jar sauce than what they have. Frankly, I have no idea how this place has been in business as long as they note on their menu. The pizza was horrible. Maybe the other food is better though the "free" rice pudding we got was not that great either. All in all, 3 stars is vastly overrated for this place. 1 is a generous rating at that only because a 0 was not able to be given. My recommendation is you check out Elm Hill Pizza or Turnpike Pizzeria for much better pies than what this place produces. read more

I got a burger and it was the driest thing I have ever eaten. Forgot my mayo on the burger and it was nasty

I was wondering if Newington Pizza had sheet pizza ? We bought their regular pizzas there and absolutely loved it. We are having a party and sheet pizzas would be awesome. Please let me know. Thank you everyone for your time. Keep munching on your pizza, lol read more

I lived in Newington for thirty-eight years. Every time I called, which was often, they knew my voice. "Yes, Mr S, what would you like?" My family grew up on Newington Pizza. It's still at the top of the charts when comparing pizzas. I'll be visiting a friend in Newington in a few days, bringing a Newington Pizza, like I did on my last visit. I can count on the quality and the smile on my friend's face. read more

Saturday afternoon running errands and my gang was hungry, we heard about this old timey place so we gave them a called ahead to pick up some food. 2 ham grinders, mozzarella sticks and cheeseburger deluxe. 25 minutes to pick up. We arrived 28 minutes later and the food was ready and nicely packed in a box (extra points for this). Drove home and passed out the food, everything was warm (points for that). the sandwiches were well packed with meat and all of the "fixings" (more points). The burger bun was huge but the patty wasn't (deduction) and the fries were soggy and could have been cooked a little longer for a better color (deduction). The mozzarella sticks were good but the sauce left a lot to be desired (deduction). All in the gang felt the place deserved another shot but with all of the places around town it may be a while. read more

Wow. This was my go-to place for decades. Not anymore. I ordered the salad with tuna and was served something that I barely recognized. The tuna was flavorless and tasted like it was stretched with plain bread crumbs. It had the consistency of pate cat food. The house dressing was congealed and the consistency of pudding. $20 down the tubes. So disappointed. read more

First time trying Newington pizza and definitely disappointed. The food was average at best. Mozzarella sticks were old and seemed like they were sitting out for a while. Ordered a buffalo chicken pizza with white sauce and it came with red sauce and no blue cheese of any kind. Slow delivery as well. Hopefully it was an off night but not sure I'd try again. read more

I'm from MA so we don't have good pizza, but also I went to school in NJ so I know what good pizza tastes like. This? This is good pizza.

This place has been around for many years. It can get very busy at times so call/plan ahead. Average wait time is around 30 mins...I have only gotten pizza from here and it is really good tasting. My kids and I enjoy it and get excited when I mention where I'm getting it from. The restaurant also has been sponsoring local Newington Sports for years as well...I can't speak for other sports but my son has been on the Newington Pizza Little League Baseball team two years in a row. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. read more

I came in here for lunch but I wasn't in a mood for pizza so I decided to order a sub instead. I chose the steak & cheese sub because my mouth was watering for it, and a bag of chips on the side. I was disappointed with the sub because it didn't any flavor. Maybe had I got the sautéed onions that come with it would have helped? I had to add a boat load of ketchup. The bag of chips tasted funny so I didn't eat then. It wasn't until I looked at the bag and saw they were expired. After my meal I walked up and mentioned the chips were expired and the girl just apologized said she was sorry, but I was still charged for it. I checked the chip rack and all the bags were expired. I didn't say anything just walked out. I doubted they will change out the ones on the rack. The restaurant area was ok. Service was decent but was disappointed in the lack of flavor and really disgusted by expired food. I was willing to come back and try the pizza but I am afraid to. I will not be coming back. read more

I ordered 2 slices of pizza to go at this small family restaurant and was disappointed to discover that it was Greek style. Worse yet, the amount of cheese on the top was overwhelming and the crust, though crisp, had little flavor. Lastly, there was considerable difference between the 2 slices like they were from different pizzas. The cheese on one was almost crunchy while the 2nd was softer. Neither slice tasted very good so I won't be returning. read more

Literally my favorite pizza place in CT - we literally drive an hour from Bridgeport just to have this pizza. The pizza is perfect - the crust is nice and crispy and the the cheese and sauce are always consistent. The service is also so amazing. My wife and I have been going there since we've been dating, they always set up our same table and even remember what type of salad dressing I love! read more

This pizza did not disappoint! It is a Greek style crust; not too thick, but definitely not thin. I ordered a small pizza with pepperoni, onions, and green peppers. The onions and peppers were cut into smaller pieces, which I have not seen often and really enjoyed. The toppings were delicious, as was the pizza as a whole. Definitely recommend! read more

The pizza is fantastic but they make the best chicken parm grinders on the planet. Plus they are super friendly and the prices are great.

I have tried everything in the New Britain, Newington area and feel they have the best pizza and grinders in the area!!

The giant grinders are indeed giant! We got a giant 16' meatball grinder, and it was so big we thought they accidentally gave us 2. It was said to be delicious, fresh crisped bread, seasoned sliced meatballs, provolone, they forgot the peppers. The chicken Parmesan grinder and chicken cutlet grinders are very yummy! Love them with peppers. Also, ordered a tuna grinder, which they forgot to deliver, but sent it to us right away. The tuna was very good! A big portion of crisped french fries for $1.25. Small delivery fee They have good coupons online. Will try their pizza and report back..... read more

Good local pizza place.... Great coupon on website for buy large 1 topping get small cheese free...... Owner and employees are friendly and talkative..... Bacon and hamburg large is bangin!! See ya soon newington pizza.... read more

Good little pizza place for a slice. Wasn't too high on the Grinder's, but to each their own. My wife thought the same. Check out the pizza, stay away from everything else. read more

The "House Special Pizza" is a must try. They give a good amount of topping on their pizza, as you can see from the picture. Half veggie and half meat and I always ask for no anchovies. read more

Newington Pizza Restaurant - House Special Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

Order here if you want meh pizza, wait 2 hours for it then be treated like garbage when you complain about the 2 hour wait. Mind you they have an ETA of about 45 minutes. Forget this place guys seriously. I'm running out of fingers to count how many times this happened. Just moved out of Newington to neighboring town and pizza delivery in this town is how it should be... read more

Disaster! Complete lack of customer service. Ordered food to be picked up. When we got home, realized a sandwich was missing. Called restaurant and they said they forgot to give it to us. Offered to bring it to us. Good start. Said driver was leaving right then. We live 1 mile away. 20 minutes later, I called and they said "it's on its way." No apology. Another 25 minutes later driver shows up. Hands me the sandwich and doesn't say a word. Not a single word. No apology. No have a good night. Nothing. That's just rude. Things can go wrong. I get that. It's how you handle the problems that demonstrates (or doesn't) that you're committed to customer service. This was handled very poorly. Oh ... and the sandwich was made incorrectly and was soggy. Never again! read more

ordered thru slice app, delivery time was 6:30- 6:45. pizza arrived at 7:30 ice cold , never again!!! one bite and put in trash..

Foods good, basic. In the past few years they have had a few delivery drivers who were very rude, impatient, argumentative, and unprofessional. When you call to complain the owners ask what you want them to do about it and shrug it off, even have become argumentative themselves. I work for a local business and have to see drivers from local delivery/restaurants daily, none are as bad as this place. All of our business has shifted to Yanni's and our campus has asked them to stop delivering in the lobbies. Their loss. read more

They have it together very consistent and the girl at register is so pleasant and she never gets flustered with phones ringing and customers at counter picking up orders or placing orders and customers eating in read more

We ordered three grinders over an hour and a half ago they still haven't delivered them. Called them 20 minutes ago and they said they were on their way. Its only a 10 minutee drive to our house still waiting. read more

Took 2 hours to get food delivered. I called to see where it was and they said it was on the counter waiting for the delivery driver who wasnt even there. When it finally came the delivery guy told me that 2 others drivers came and went in that time. They just didnt take my food! Lost a customer and would totally give no stars if possible. Awful! And they made me pay full price. read more

Delicious Greek style pizza, a little greasy. Owner is always there, and recognizes repeat customers even if they aren't local regulars. And they have Orangina!! I wish they moved a little faster if you ordered in store and were waiting for takeout. read more

We used to love newington pizza than one Saturday we ordered a calzone and small pizza for delivery not sure if the owner was on vacation but it was the worst and not edible at all so disappointing! read more

Went back a couple times for lunch, the stuffed shells are my go to dish. They're excellent.

This pizza is the best. Had a large with pepperoni, onions, mushroom and peppers. I love a pizza that already cooks and/or sautes the veggies BEFORE they throw them on the pie. The sauce was delish and just enough, not overly saucy. The crust was light and crunchy. VERY GOOD!!! I will be going back again! And they deliver!! read more

On 5/21/14 my family and I and friends ordered three big pizza pies at NEWINGTON PIZZA, 75 MARKET SQ. NEWINGTON CT. Upon serving it at our large table , my husband was advised that the total was $68.12 . When my husband questioned why the order total changed when we first ordered it; he was told that's what the total is because we had ordered after 9:00 PM. My husband advised the employee ( the owner's son ) that he was told 20 minutes ago that the original price quoted by NEWINGTON PIZZA was $49.53 The owner's, nasty son began yelling at my husband since my husband said that he wants the price as he originally ordered PLUS husband asked the rude NEWINGTON PIZZA'S bosses son for his credit card back! The owner's son then yelled at my husband again stating "Thanks, for wasting my time; you MORON! " There were several loud exchanges of words. My husband left. I talked to the father the ( store owner ) who said that after 9 PM the prices go up ( did you ever hear of anything so ridiculous! } The father ( the owner ) told me, my family and friends were never to come back in his place again or he will call the state police!! It certainly was a horrible and humiliating experience and the town of Newington Ct should close NEWINGTON PIZZA down as soon as possible!! Thank you very much. read more

I was about to place my order online, when a $7.43 delivery charge was automatically added. I live down the street and feel that a $7.43 delivery charge is a bit excessive. I can get delivery for far less. Maybe I will stop in when I have time. read more

Food is pretty good. Their calzone, in particular, is one of the best I've had. The people are nice enough. Prices are not cheap but reasonable for the quality of the food. However, they take an extremely long time to serve or deliver. Yesterday we ordered delivery at 6:15pm and our food arrived at 7:35pm; we were told it would take 45 minutes. My wife ordered a BLT with no mayo; instead they delivered a BLT with no lettuce (a BT?). To be fair this is the first time they actually screwed up the order. We have ordered from or eaten there many times over the last few years. However, the speed of the service is always - and I mean always - problematic and it doesn't seem to matter whether you order via delivery or wait in the restaurant itself, or whether it's at a busy hour or when no one else is even there. I'm reasonably patient but the slowness of the service is astounding. It's a shame because we would order or eat there more often if it weren't for the incredibly slow service. If you don't mind waiting an hour and half to get your food, you're golden. read more

Pizza tastes like cardboard and when I called to order the young folks they have answering the phones are always rude. I would not recommend. read more

Average food, i go elsewhere. Had the salad with chicken on top twice and have'nt been back since.

This place has wonderful food!! Although lately when I call to place my order there's this one young boy who always has an attitude. He was in such a rush to take my order that he put my information in wrong! This isn't the first time and if this continues I'm sorry to say I won't be ordering from here anymore. read more

This place is awesome. Great food and great family atmosphere, owner remembers everyone. They're prices are a lot cheaper than most places and you get a lot of food. If you want something they don't have he will work with you. Just love it and recommend to everyone. If a place is busy it means they have great food! A must try! read more
