Okay, this place was fire, Sicilian pizza with pepperoni is what I ordered and man it was to die for, recently moved to Ellington been in the area for almost a year and have tried almost all the pizzas around the area including Vernon and Manchester and this place surprised the hell outta me! Was such a good pizza and you could feel that this isn't a soulless pizza, I appreciate the effort that was put into this pizza and would highly recommend this place! Service was great, ordered delivery and and it was super smooth, definitely one of the best places to get a pie in the area! read more

DELICIOUS! WOW. My boyfriend and i got the Sicilian Pizza with pepperoni and it is WELL worth the wait! Delivery driver was super nice and called when he arrived! We drive by all the time and decided to try it out and we were NOT disappointed! Will 100% be ordering again read more

We ate many times here. It was a place nurses went. Then , it got greasy. Greasy beyond greasy. The oil on top of the pizza. I haven't been in a long time, so unless new mans, new cooks, I'm no longer interested in wasting my money. I know still open. I wish I had snapped a photo. read more

Awesome Sauce! Great staff. Like an old friend that will take one for the team at last call, you can always count on Paul's to fill your food hole with some tasty treats. read more

A decent pizza from your standard pizza joint. Nothing special, but nothing horrible either Wanted to try a new pizza place. Hit most of the major locations already, so now going through the mom-and-pop operations. This one was one of them, so grabbed a menu and ordered to-go. I appreciate that they offered a "4 seasons" pie, a pizza with a quarter of their popular styles of pie. We even got some buffalo wings to try. The wings were good, but underdressed. They needed some more sauce, also a bit more heat. They were cooked okay though, so they did do that well. The pizza, it needed seasoning. The veggie side was the best, not too greasy and the veggies were charred to give it more flavor. The next best was the cheese. less greasy, but very bland. The ricotta didn't have any salt, nor did the sauce or the cheese. so it needed that little extra salt to let the cheeses develop The Buffalo chicken side of the pizza was also bland, but the chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. made the pan pizza crust a little gummy, but not too much. The meat lovers was the worst, with way too much grease and watery sauce. Price was decent, the pizza wasn't too expensive and the wings were reasonable. You get lots of quantity, but not a lot of quality. I like to call this place the quintessential Italian Joint. Basic menu, basic flavors offered en masse. Nothing special, but able to scratch the itch for pizza if you need it. read more

My fiancée and I had their gluten-free pizza since both of us are living a gluten-free lifestyle it was a real breath of fresh air knowing we have a local pizza shop we can get this from. We also had their meatballs and they were quite delightful and delicious. If you are in the area or if you pass by this area We recommend stopping in. read more

Our favorite place to stop heading into New England- fast service and awesome gluten free pizza. Fast service- you don't need a fast food joint to have fast food! read more

An institution! Best pizza in Vernon. Excellent pasta dinners and appetizers. Fast, friendly service.

Flavorless. Cold. Unremarkable. It's obvious that you don't want repeat customers. It was a great pizza joint back when it was original in the 80's. Thank you for making sure I never order your slop again. Have some pride. Disgusting. read more

They are very friendly , the restaurant is ALWAYS Clean which is important to me and they have a great menu ! I love the sausage parmesan dinner the best and I will end with they have many yummy desserts to choose from Julie Cusson , Tolland, CT. read more

Ordered chicken fingers and a chicken cutlet grinder, chicken was over cooked and veiny, kids could barely bite into the chicken fingers. Chicken cutlet grinder was not made with chicken breast but with those tough chicken fingers, absolutely disgusting and no flavor at all. Paul's has definitely gone down the drain compared to how it was years ago. read more

I've got to tell you, I've been going to Paul's Pizza for years. Lately, I've noticed that the grinders have become smaller, the bread is different, and as far as delivery service, it was absolutely atrocious. Young man gave ME a hard time because he couldn't find my apartment. It is clearly marked at the beginning of the condo complex! My food was lukewarm. Customer Service was awful. So disappointed. read more

Have been going to Paul's for many years. They are our #1 place for parties! You won't be disappointed!

We stopped in for a late dinner recently. We used to eat here somewhat regularly 20 years ago before we moved a few towns away so when we wanted some good wings, we knew where to go. Paul's was always one of our top 2 restaurants for wings back then. The dining area looks like it was recently updated. The booths look brand new and are comfortable. Our drinks were brought out quickly and the wings were not far behind. The Buffalo sauce is nice and tangy so it's 5 stars for the wings! They were cooked to perfection and had a good amount of meat on them. The waitress made sure we had plenty of napkins but the sauce was so good, I licked my fingers in secret a few times. Don't judge - I couldn't help myself! It was late evening and I was facing away from the other occupied table so I did it. TIP: The wings heat up well in the air fryer. They won't be as messy because the sauce bakes on. The flavor still rocks though! For our entrees we ordered a Philly Cheese steak grinder and a meat-lovers pizza because both of us really like both of them. The grinder is served with sliced steak, peppers, onions, mushrooms (not for us) and provolone cheese. The steak was real steak, seasoned just enough to highlight the nice beef flavor and tender to bite into. It was a nice contrast to the crusty grinder roll it was served on. The roll itself seemed like a step up from most grinders. The balance of meat & veggies was nice and the sharpness of the provolone added the right amount of flavor. We took half of it home. TIP: It heats up very well in the air fryer. The pizza was loaded with toppings. Hubby loves sausage pizza and I like the meat lover's pizza. Hubby was up for it as he really likes the pepperoni and bacon as well. I'm a fan of both bacon & meatballs so it's a good compromise. Some of the meat on the pizza appeared over cooked. Hubby liked the pepperoni & we both were happy to see real bacon pieces cooked to perfection. The sausage and meatball toppings were our least favorite. One was sliced meat that resembled the meat used for gyros. The other was a crumbled meat that tasted like ground beef with a blend of seasonings that did not compliment it well. I tasted each of the 4 meats separately to distinguish the flavors of each. The sausage & meatball toppings were our least favorite. Our waitress was nice and took good care of us. We remembered ordering gyros there in the past so we will give those a try the next time we visit. There is a refrigerated case with desserts that looked good. We didn't have room for it and we didn't finish either of our entrees. No dessert for us since we didn't clean our plates! Perhaps next time we'll order less food so that we can sample some of their sweets. read more

Terrible! Chicken tender were disgusting! Chewy, veiny and totally bland! Totally unsatisfied! Will never order from there again!

Solid good pizza to order when you don't know what you want for dinner or have friends over. Compared to everything else in Vernon I think it's the best option for a decent pizza read more

I called to place a delivery order. Whoever answered the phone was rude & rushing to take my order. She acted as if my call was an inconvenience to her. I will not spend money when bad customer service in involved. I called A1 Brick Oven Pizza instead. They took my order immediately and delivered in 30 minutes. read more

I am so surprised that this restaurant only has an average of three stars! I have been several times now for a bite to eat and think it deserves much more. I found the service to be exceptional. Served by two different wait staff both of whom were very polite and friendly. The food has been excellent also. Salad plates (delicious), pizza, grinders Inside is clean and seating is never an issue during lunchtime and early evening hours. We will definitely be visiting Paul's again. read more

Pauls please go back to your dads recipes. Your chicken parm in the casserole dish. Last three times food felt burnt not that melt in your mouth. Listen to your customers. read more

Paul's does a really nice job with delicious slightly thicker pan crust and generous, savory toppings. Definitely recommend the Four Seasons when you can't decide which scrumptious pie to pick. There are quarters of white pie (perfectly seasoned ricotta by the way), meat lovers, buffalo grilled chicken and veggie. It's amazing. Can't go wrong with the plain cheese either! The sorrentino is like an eggplant parmigiana with added ricotta and basil. Very nice! Love that this family owned local spot does such a great job. Always friendly delivery drivers and they give accurate time estimates on deliveries too. Enjoy! read more

Paul's Pizza & Restaurant - Four Seasons ordered "little bit well done" - Pizza Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

We were in the neighborhood visiting a family relative in Rockville Hospital and decided to have a quick meal before returning home this past Monday. The restaurant was empty sans my wife and I at 5PM though a few people stopped in for takeout. It did not appear much if anything has changed in the interim since our last visit back in August, 2014. We quickly settled on a giant 16" combination grinder that included the usual lettuce, tomato, oil, vinegar, provolone cheese, peppers, ham, pepperoni and salami. Wait, wait! That was not salami, it was bologna. OMG We requested a toasted roll and the grinder turned out to be quite satisfying, but I still have difficulty getting my head around bologna on a combination grinder. read more

They renovated the interior! Its not so dated and itl ooks nice inside. However, the quality of ingredients has gone down hill. It has started to not taste as fresh. The sauce has gotten bland, the crust is nothing special, and again not as fresh. No longer my go to. Im sad to to say it seems they spent the $ to update the shop but not the food standards. read more

My husband and I ordered a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza, for delivery, this past Friday evening. We hadn't eaten at Paul's in about fifteen years, so we weren't sure what to expect. The gentleman who answered the phone was very nice. I like the fact that they don't charge a delivery charge (yes, of course, I gave a good tip). It was around dinnertime, so they were busy. We were told that delivery would be about 1 hour. Well, surprisingly, one half hour after I called, there was a knock on the front door...our pizza was delivered! It was still extremely hot (like it should be). Our pizza was delicious, just the right ratio of sauce to cheese, and a generous amount of pepperoni and mushrooms. It also had the perfect amount of herbs and spices, not bland at all, unlike another local pizza place. We will be ordering again soon from Paul's Pizza! read more

Food: Their food is SOOO GOOD! This is truly a hole in the wall gem and has been in town for a very long time. Being Muslim, knowing that all their meat is halal is a HUGE plus!

My husband and I stopped here for the first time and it will definitely be the last. When we first walked in it seemed very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. We ordered a chef salad that was very good! I ordered a cheeseburger grinder it was the driest nastiest burger I've ever had. There was no cheese on the burger !! The cheese was warmed onto the bread and not on the hamburger. There was barely any mayo on it and I ordered it with bacon ( it was so hard it felt like you could break your teeth eating it) I ordered it with no tomatoes it had tomatoes on it. My husband ordered a tuna grinder with peppers. It came with no peppers. He was told it came standard with peppers even though on the menu it clearly says you have to order them extra which he thought he made it clear he wanted peppers. We both had beers with our dinner . Mine was a Bluemoon and his was a Two roads. His beer tasted awful he couldn't even finish it. We ended up paying for a terrible meal and we will never go back. If I were you and your thinking of going here .... Go anywhere else because you will be disappointed and you will feel unsatisfied! read more

Starting from customer service 0/10, the lady who answered the phone had no CS at all. Got a meal for 5 and all 5 of us got sick to our stomach. Greasy food, salad was not at all fresh, the veggies seemed to be chopped up with no thought for whoever is eating it. I have been throwing up since I ate their chicken parm. Do not recommend this place at all!!! read more

Not very impressed. I ordered a pizza last Monday they told me it would take 45 minutes and I said that's perfect that's the time I wanted it, it came 20 mins later. Then the pizza delivery guy saved my number and started texting me trying to take me out. Which means he kept my number. Not cool. read more

Excellent pizza delivered today. On time, hot and delivered with a smile. Thank you for a fantastic pizza.

No stars!!! Ordered a meatball and an eggplant grinder tonight. Got home and the sandwiches were so mushy all of the paper was stuck to the sandwiches. Then I noticed there was a green METAL bread tie baked into the bread!! I called and they told me it wasnt from them. Are you freaking kidding me?!? We drove there to get our money back and the entire staff came to the counter. They kept giving us excuses . We have alot of employees it must be from the bakery etc... The son has a really bad attitude and is not good at customer service at all!! I work in the food industry this is not how you serve food or how you treat a customer. read more
