Best New Haven style pizza not in New Haven! They are quick, accurate and always get our order correct. They don't have delivery is the only downside! The calzones are enormous, pies are 100% every time. read more

I tried Papa's Pizza for the first time last night and I wonder ... what took me so long!?? I've only loved two miles away for the last 6 years but whatever. Better now than never. Have you ever had a cone grinder? I hadn't. And wow! It's this delicious blend of perfectly baked Italian bread with a middle containing whatever you'd like in there. For me, I went with eggplant and I just can't say enough about how wonderful this sandwich (?) is. I also got a mozzarella apizza and Di Nanni specialty pizza. So flavorful and the crust is thin but no too thin and not burnt to a crisp which seems to be a common thing around these parts. There was a lovely woman who greeted me at their pickup window and we had a nice friendly chat as she conducted the payment transaction. This is for sure my new go-to pizza place. read more

Always been very delicious pizza to get take out from consistently for years.. high quality pizza like New Haven I promise you will not be disappointed. I'm hungry just thinking about it lol read more

Food was amazing and portions were large. Service was fast and friendly. Not only was the pizza great but the "Cone" sandwiches were also great. read more

Worth the 2.5 hr wait on a Friday night... Papas hit the spot for three adults and three children. The pizza held up great during travel and was still hot after a 10 min drive. The eggplant was awesome. Crust was great, we found it to be thicker than the traditional New Haven Style... our favorite pizza in Milford by far. read more

Now THIS pizza is in a league of its own. I know that new haven pizza is iconic in Connecticut, but this shop in Milford gives New Haven a run for it's money. It is hands-down our family's favorite pizza shop! So much so that we plan ahead of time to place our orders. Our staple is ordering a bacon pie with garlic, well done. There's some thing about the crisp, thin, slightly charred crust that makes for the perfect combination - no matter what toppings you choose. The staff is always delightful and really accommodating in the event of long wait times and we always appreciate that. We will be ordering again next Friday, and I'm considering calling in my order as soon as they open! :) TIP: If you're ordering on a Friday early evening, prepare for the possibility of not being able to get through on the phone or a very long wait time for pick up. It's worth it, extra patience goes a long way. read more

My only regret is that we won't have an excuse to have another Papa's pizza since we live 3 states away! We ordered a 12 inch to eat before our long drive home, following our niece's graduation from a local Uni. This pizza was mouthwateringly delicious. From the nice lady who took our special order right up until the last bite of our pie- it was a phenomenal experience! If you haven't tried Papa's and you live in Milford, or are on enroute to your next destination, I highly recommend you stop by and pick up their pizza!! You'll be so glad you did. read more

Love the original PaPa's. Best place in Milford to get pizza. But only the original location. Never disappoints. If you know you know.

We haven't been able to order from here ever for dinner because they're always too busy to pick up the phone! We opted for a 2:30p pizza and they answered! This must be the trick to getting through, anyways our pizza was ready in 20 mins. Good amount of bacon and well cooked. They have a pick up window so you don't even need to go inside. I've never looked at the menu before but I plan on checking it out to see what specialty pies they have. I'd say it's similar in quality to peppes pizza and ONE step down from Sally's/modern but for being in milford I'd rather go here than drive into new haven! Medium bacon was $20. Supposedly THIS location of pappas is better than the other, so I didn't even bother trying the other place! read more

amazing staff! great service! i always get the personal or small pizza, it slaps! 10/10 read more

Fabulous pizza and pasta dishes. My favorite is the spaghetti with garlic and oil. They make this dish better than any other Italian restaurant in the area. They are related to Papa's Pizza 2 in the center of town. Both restaurants make fabulous pizza. read more

The pizza is delicious, meatball grinder cone is huuuuge and delicious, will try pasta at some point..

By far the best pizza I had in Milford and I lived downtown NH for 10 years. This is a perfect pie I'm just mad I'm just now trying it! I'll be back read more

Their pizza is real good. Classic new haven style pizza. One of the best in ct. to me, pepes is the standard. Papas is a close second or third. read more

THE BEST pizza in Milford !!!! Been going here for 32 yrs and the secret is out ! Call early because it gets busy, they cover ALL the bases if you ask for it they will make it including White Clam which is what I just had and it was INCREDIBLE !!!! Russ creates authentic New Haven style pies that keep you coming back ! read more

One of if not my most favorite pizza places. A little pricey, but quality over quantity any day! Usually a wait, but the wait is always worthwhile. Order ahead and it'll be worth every penny! read more

Pizza is very good for this area. Thin crust and fresh ingredients. The 90 minute wait time is excessive but also a testament to how good the food is. Will just have to call earlier next time. read more

Very aggravating to have a recording three times in one week during stated times open! Without rhyme or reason this place that has fabulous take out food seems hardly ever open! Fortunately once again Jimmy's on new haven Ave was able to fulfill our desire for great food! We travel from north Stratford which is a distance read more

I'm a fan! Call early is the trick. Mashed potato pie is the way to go. Good char on the crust from the oven

Our original food order for an event never arrived. We called Papa's Pizza and they bailed us out big time. Delivered 15 pizzas within an hour. Not only did they come through, but ended up being some of the best pizza I've ever had. read more

Absolutely superb New Haven Style Pizza.... Great Plain Pie...Great Clam Pie... A true gem in a town like Milford, which very sadly in my opinion, has the worst food in the entire tri-state area. Takeout only....Small discount for paying in cash. VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

The owner (I'm assuming) was super friendly. Pizza was good as well. Very cute, nice and neat place. First time here. I also loved the fact that I could see the kitchen - it was very clean. I wish I lived closed - that would be my go to place for pizza. read more

I love Papa's pizza! It's certainly the best pizza in Milford and the immediate surrounding area. The pies have all the characteristics of great New Haven pizza. They have a great crust with just the right amount of char. The toppings are always well balanced and pizza is always ready on time. Papa's II is also pretty good, but it's slightly different then They original. If you have a choice pick this one over the other. I put this pizza right up there with some of the best in the are...Zuppardi's, Roseland, Modern, Sally's, Pepe's, etc. read more

Consistently great pizza and worth the average 45 minute wait after ordering. They cook the pies better at this location; just the right amount of char on the crust. read more

Make way for the Champ!!! Head & Shoulders above any other Pie in CT. That's right I said all CT !! You heard me New Haven, the MIL bows to nobody. I will say that "Salerno's"( Stratford) special Plum tomato pie is their only rival. read more

I used to live in NYC, home to the best pizza in the whole of existence. That warped my perspective on pizza -- which is a nice way of saying my years there transformed me into a pizza snob. I therefore must state my allegiance: Patsy's Pizza on 116th and 1st Ave. -- NOT one of the other franchises bearing the same name. The one up there in Harlem is the*real* Patsy's. Now comes the important bit. Papa's pizza is the closest thing I can get to Patsy's without actually going to Harlem. There are lots of good Pizza's in CT (some famous in their own right), but not a one of 'em is able to pull off a real New York style thin crust pizza. Not a one of 'em except Papa's. Other awesome facts: 1.) If they say 15 minutes, it's 15 minutes, if they say 45, it's 45. (why is this so hard for other pizza places?) 2.) The staff is AWESOME. They're friendly and they believe in the golden rule of business, "the customer is always right" Only thing to watch out for is that in the summer don't wait until just before closing time to get your pie because this place is so good, that yeah, sometimes, they run out of their made on site pizza dough. read more

I am specifically comparing this to Villa Pizza in Stratford, CT for The Pie we like: Thin, no sauce, vegges, cooked well, no egg in dough, not greasy, and fresh ingredients. They were on the verge of beating our favorite except for one big thing. It was greasy! We we're enjoying each slice, but every time we took one we were thought "oh man , this is not good, really good but...Too much grease...what a shame." So if you don't mind grease then I think you will be pressed to find better in the area. Otherwise, just go to Villa Pizza in Stratford. This justifies the "Meh, I've had better" read more

Papa's Pizza & Pasta - Inside - Pizza Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Fantastic pizza with crunchy, chewy crust and amazing home made flavor, like how any good New Haven style pizza should be. My friends and I came here as part of a pizza crawl and Russ made us feel at home. It was the best start to a wonderful trip and he embodies what people from Connecticut are: Warm, humble, hard working, and damn proud of their fantastic pizza. Thanks Russ. Everybody should try this pizza. read more

When there's not time for pizza at Pepe's, Papa's is the next best choice. Never soupy or greasy, their brick oven bakes perfect thin crust with perfectly seasoned sauce topped with a bubbling mix of mozzarella and parmesan. And pizza's not their only trick... their eggplant parm comes in half a loaf of bread and is enough to feed a family of four alone. It's take-out only so call in your order early on a Friday or Saturday night. When they get too busy, they take the phone off the hook. read more

Absolutely the best Pizza in the area. Never disappoints! Every Pizza is amazing, but if you want to try something absolutely amazing, order yourself the NUMBER 5 Shrimp & Bacon pie... Amazing! Great people too, say hi to Russ, he is the best! read more

The best pizza in Milford. If you can't make it to New Haven this is as close as you will get. If you think you have had Pizza wait until you try theirs. Everything about it is perfect. They do get super busy and when they do they will take their phones off of the hook so beware. The place is take out only but do not pass them. read more

Best pizza hole in the wall in my new town. No nonsense place to pick up a pie. A delicious, delicious pie. read more

What esle can be said??? This is simply the best pizza not only in Milford but maybe the whole world. Seriously... not even joking. Please do yourself a favor and call and order one tonight. read more

The best place to get pizza in Milford and one of my favorite places in general. Their pizza is excellent but so are their calzone's and grinders.The owner's, Russ and Rob, are great guys who make you feel welcome in their shop. Papa's is a fantastic Newhaven Style pizza place with great service. Give one of their specialty pizzas a try. read more

Every pie I ever order is consistent and delicious. Definitely in the top 10 in my personal list of pizza restaurants. Every so often I'll leave work and stop by to ask Russ for some pizza dough to bring home. With a twinkle in his eye he hands one or two over for just a few $'s. As a matter of fact there were times I don't recall him charging me at all. He knows I'm going home to teach my 7 year old, Franco, to make homemade pizza. A tradition that Russ knows is essential between old school fathers and sons. Russ delivers some of the best pies in the area. And that includes New Haven. He is a gentleman, a friend, a respectable local business owner, and should be regarded as a community leader. Milford is a better place because of his restaurant. Just call early for takeout. They sometimes get backed up in the kitchen. But it's worth the wait. Trust me on this one. read more

I just picked up a chicken parm cone grinder. This thing is AMAZING. Every time I get one I like it more and more. It should be entered in contests and win awards. First of all, it's enormous. Secondly, it tastes so good. And thirdly, the pop off piece of bread on top is any italian's dream. I struggle to be patient and not eat it first because I want to savor it for a little while but it's so hard not to just destroy that right off the jump. Best grinder, best pizza in the state. Easy. read more

BEST PIZZA IN MILFORD! Have been eating here since we moved around the corner 17 years ago. Their prices are fair and I don't feel they are too expensive. Their specialty pies are fantastic as is their plain cheese... just the perfect balance of thin crispy crust, sauce and salty cheese. Also try their baked ziti... Russ's tomato sauce is hands down my favorite. I could eat a whole loaf of Italian bread and a dish of his sauce alone! And if you're craving Pizza on a Monday when they're closed... no worries as Papas Pizza II is open! You'll never have to worry about not getting your Papas fix! The only "con" is they don't deliver. read more

Bomb ass clam pie. No where to sit except outside. I recently watched a show on New Haven Style Pizza and I chose this one to sample. Not the most famous pizza joint, but really friggen good. Crispy with briny clams, great New Haven pie. read more

I looked online and checked the menu on their website and ordered a large number 13 for $23.00 I picked it up and it was $31.90. I hate when people do that stuff, was it the owner or a worker I don't know or care. He only charged $30.00 as I paid cash but honestly over $30.00 for a pizza I can get a good steak for less. Pizza was good but wet and sloppy in the center. Did they not update the website or was it a plain old ripoff? Don't care as I'm not a regular and never will be even if it was a life changing pie. Was too shocked and hungry to bitch but I know that he saw my jaw drop. read more

I just finished eating a white clam pizza with anchovies on the side absolutely fantastic Pizza!!!
