Pete's has the best gluten free pizza around. I had a Greek pizza and I added grilled chicken . It was fantastic. I decided to take home an extra pizza so I got a Pete's special in gluten free and that was very good as well. I also ordered a medium Greek salad that was so fresh and crisp with lots of chunks of feta and olives, little tomatoes and crisp lettuce! A very generous portion that I will return to get it all over again. The owner is the chef and is a very nice person. He's very friendly and welcoming. He bought Pete's restaurant a couple of years ago. read more

The only reason this isn't 2 stars was for the very friendly man at the counter. Very kind and professional. However, as others have said, this place needs some TLC. Generally kind of dirty feeling. Bathroom is not super clean, and the hand soap dispenser still doesn't work as in someone else's previous post. They've put out dishwasher soap as an alternative, but, c'mon now... As for the food. We ordered a house salad (pretty terrible) and a medium plain cheese. The pizza was eh. 2/5 stars max. Not sure how ppl can rate the pizza highly when you have such stellar examples of what great pizza actually tastes like not too far away in New Haven. It's strip mall pizza. Don't go in expecting high quality food. But, yeah, the guy at the counter was super nice, and that counts for something in my book. read more

Arrived at 4:40 PM, we were the only people sitting in the restaurant eating for the duration of our meal as we ate in and the phone only rang two times for possible takeout orders. Place needs an entire cleanup, worn out paint, dirty doors and walls and a dimly lit bathroom and the soap container did not work in the bathroom. Only one employee on the premises, making the food. Dinnerware was thin paper plates, and thin plastic forks and knives. But I will give credit where credit is due. The Pizza was good and was made in a timely manner. Maybe because it was the only food he had in the oven. I like Greek pizza and to find the good Greek pizza in Middlesex County and lower Hartford County is hard to come by, any suggestions would be appreciated. I will not return unless they clean the place. I did not find it to appealing. I gave a rating of 3 as the Pizza as stated earlier it was good not the best but it was good. read more

Greek style crust, decent sauce, plenty of pepperoni. Sausage grinder was perky, plenty of zing. Friendly, efficient staff. There's a few tables if you want to eat in but seemed take out oriented. read more

I was more around the 2.5 stars but can't give half stars so maybe I'll be generous with rounding up. The interior is nice LOOKING but it was HOT. It was a slightly warm October day and I considered eating outside. There was no air movement. The pita was awful. Would never suggest to eat that, ever! Would I return? Probably not. read more

We were out of state and took this recommendation from yelp. Pizza was very good. We had half pepperoni which had tons of pepperoni on it. The service was excellent. The owner had a big smile and was a positive guy. You could tell they do a lot of take out. Very clean. Could have used a little music but then you might have not appreciated the chefs passion. I had this at a 4.4. read more

This place gets five stars for what it is: a mom and pop pizza place with a couple of booths, a walk up counter and damned good pizza and grinders. Service was good. Eggplant parm grinder came out hot and loaded. Really great. read more

Best Pizza in Town!!!! The owner Pete is the best!!!! He will go above and beyond every time you make sure you get exactly what you want and more!¡! read more

Really only gave this place a try because Romanos Pizza was closed. I wanted to pick something up on my way home from work, but I did not want to go out of my way at all, or have to get off the highway once I got on - so I reluctantly gave Pete's a try - and was NOT disappointed. I called around 5-515 on a week day and I was told it would only be a 15 minute wait, which was great to hear. I walked in the restaurant 15 minutes later and I knew my food was going to be delicious just by the smell. I ordered a small pepperoni pizza, which came out to around $11, pretty decent pricing. From what I could tell, the staff seemed very friendly. Upon getting home I tried my pizza and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The crust, the sauce, and the cheese were all so flavorful. The perfect amount of cheese vs sauce was on the pizza, and it was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be returning. My only complaint is the variety of the menu. I wish they had a little more. However, their menu does note that they roast their own roast beef in-house, which I am very excited to try! read more

This pizza has always been great since having to leave Windsor Ct. My family has been eating their pizza since I was a kid.

Even before he opened his shop in Rocky Hill I've been been enjoying his pizza. I remember my dad taking me to Wilson Pizza Palace in the Wilson section of Windsor. After they moved into an old McDonald's and turned the M's upside to make a W for Wilson PP. The pizza is as great as I remember. In fact their phone number is one I remember to this day since I called it often to order. Try it. Mg mouths watering just thinking of it. read more

This place is in need of a thorough cleaning. Dirty garbage can next to the front counter - not appetizing at all. The stapled menu with the food choices was also very dirty and stained. I would have turned around and left if I was by myself but put on a brave face for the sake of my friends who were starving. My chicken cutlet grinder had lots of veggies but chicken was dry and over fried. I like to support small businesses instead of chains but not when they're not clean. read more

I'm absolutely in love with Pete's. We wanted to try a new pizza place tonight and since this place is right next to our house basically now, I felt we definitely needed to get some pizza from here for Sunday night Netflix and chill night. They have social distancing markers labeled clearly through the shop, and everyone working there are incredibly nice, and even asked if I needed help carrying out my pizzas. My Hawaiian pizza was absolutely delish, the pineapple was absolute perfection. Definitely will be trying more items off their menu in the weeks to come. read more

Anyone giving less than 4 stars, may want to consider playing in traffic. We said what we said. Pete is from the lineage of the OG's of Wilson Pizza in Windsor, CT Don't let the suburbs fool you. PPP continues to be consistent, fresh-the staff are cheerful and never forget a face. It feels like home when we come here. Today we got a half Special/ half cheese and it was just like we remembered. This is a Bestifer's Best if ya ask us-and if you're reading this-you're asking. Crust was perfection-not soggy in the middle which tends to happen with pizza loaded with veggies. And the sauce was every tomato obsessed girls' dream. #bigfacts So next time you're in Rocky Hill, make sure you make the stop into Pete's. You'll be thanking them and us later! read more

Why wasn't this place crowded on a Saturday at lunch time? Food and service were both great

First time here and Wally behind the counter is amazing! Great food and great service!

We and a cheese pizza and one with sausage and mushrooms. Both were delicious!! Crispy crust, not too thin or thick! Just like we like it.

After a great first experience with a chicken parm grinder, I decided to test the pizza against my favorite local takeout pizza place. I ordered a medium pepperoni and onion pizza. The crust was typical for takeout pizza. The pepperoni, onions and cheese were all nicely cooked. The sauce was just decent for me. I would have preferred a sweeter sauce to offset the saltiness of the other ingredients. I maybe picked up a little wine flavor in the sauce? Pete's pizza was good, but did not unseat my favorite local takeout place. I'll be back for a chicken parm grinder and maybe to try a different grinder. read more

The food is excellent here !! I would hesitate to recommend this place to anyone !! I started out slow by just ordering a meatball sub and that was delicious and so I went back and ordered their eggplant parmigiana sub and that was also delicious too!! And then when I went back a third time, I ordered their Greek pizza !! ! And that was superb !!! And I am not easy to please when it comes to food ; ( I am a daughter of a chef that was a graduated from the Culinary Institute of America !!! ). Service has always been great too !! I would not hesitate in recommending this place to anyone !! ! read more

We come from North of Hartford just to get Pete's Pizza. This is the best Pizza around , always cooked perfectly. The staff are all very friendly, and the service is quick. We don't buy pizza anywhere else!! read more

Went for lunch a few days ago and the pizza was amazing. Will definitely return and tell my friends and family.

This is the second time here. First was when they opened, i ordered a grinder, not much stood out but not bad. Tonight I ordered a large cheese pizza, mozzarella sticks and french fries. Friendly and timely service. Other reviews were right, greek style w generous cheese. Kids liked the pizza and the fries, cheese on pizza was a bit too much for me. Mozzarella sticks were standard and the sauce was not a bit oily See pictures for slice count on a large and other quantities. Paid $30 read more

Excellent pizza. It's difficult to get a pizza on a Monday night in this area because they are all closed. Pete's was open and I gave it a try. Glad of it too. The pizza was fairly thin with plenty of toppings and a crispy crust. I'd go again. read more

Pizza is amazing, hot and fresh ingredients. Staff are friendly and appreciative of business. They always say thank you for coming in and are always smiling. Love this place! read more

I wish I had a picture to show you how beautiful the pie was but my brother started digging in before I had the chance. I had a pepperoni pizza and this is the type of place you want to go to if you want the thick Detroit crust style pizza. I'd say they're comparable to West Side Pizza, less oily but has thicker amounts of cheese. Would definitely try this place again. Also the staff is super friendly! read more

Been wanting to get outside of Middletown and try a different pizza place. As good as Mondo and Pizza Palace are it's nice to try someplace different. Pete's is very good and I would definitely order it again. My son and I had the Meatza (meatball, pepperoni, sausage, and bacon). Crust was very good, having grown up in Berlin and eating mostly greek pizza it was just like it. Sauce and cheese were good as well, and the pizza, even with all the meat, wasn't greasy. I will be going back to try their grinders next. I recommend giving Pete's a try it's very good. read more

Amazing!! Gluten free pizza, the best I ever had!! The toppings..wow. I ordered on of the greek style toppings and it was perfect balanced flavor. My compay ordered the meat lover regular pizza and the could not stop raving about it. They said it was the best pizza they had in the USA. The cheese is stringy, the toppings fresh and delicious, the pizza is filling and you just feel happy and full in your belly. It just hits the spot. read more

Pizza is delicious and service is awesome friendly wonderful people own it i have eaten here for years

By far the best pizza around! Try it & you'll be a fan too. Great employees & owners are super friendly. Worth a quick drive & pick up something to go (not much of a dining room) you will love it! SUPER CLEAN TOO! Let's keep this restaurant bz & keep them here! Kandy read more

Grinders were excellent-steak and cheese and chicken parmigiana! Friendly and accommodating staff.

Ordered Gyro plate, Capicola Grinder, Eggplant Parm, and Chicken Parm Grinder. Food was good! Solid place, will definitely order again. Ordered to go and went inside to pickup, clean inside, new looking on the inside. The staff all had masks and gloves on and a wall/shield over the counter (definitely following covid rules which was good!). Staff was also very friendly. Good people, good food, will definitely order again! Support your local business! read more

The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. My friends and I were just passing through and decided to stop someplace for dinner. We were lucky enough to pick this place and the rest is history. I even saved this place in google maps so i can stop by the next time im in the area. read more

Don't recommend, the steak and cheese grinder was very chewy. The Sausage parm. was 90% peppers. Service not very friendly NO Hi how are you, when entering. The lady at the counter was reading off a customer's credit card info. when doing a order over the phone. read more

Best Pizza around, We get the 'Pete's special' every visit, #1 pizza Rocky Hill Connecticut!! read more

I'm not contracted, I'm not a professional review writer, and I'm not a connoisseur. This place is a 9.9/10. Ordered a medium house special the other night, with a side of naked wings. The medium is a true medium, perfect proliferation of toppings, the sauce jives perfectly, and the crust, while slightly on the thicker side, is a very thin "thick" crust. The only reason I deducted a tenth of a point is because I prefer naked wings, and they came breaded when asked for naked. But that's nitpicking at that point. Amazing food, and an even better, friendlier staff. You'd do yourself justice having eaten here. read more

Pretty good, nothing special. Its a hand tossed fluffy crust kind of like dominoes. I was expecting way better

Great meatballs , good pizza. Friendly service. Worth a try! Prices are the prices. I Dont mind paying for quality food!

Had my 1st pizza from Pete's and it was delicious. Eggplant, spinach and ricotta toppings were wonderfully done and made a beautiful pie. I'll definitely go back. read more
