Great pizza. Light and crispy, perfect amount of cheese and sauce and cooked well. Thin crust, and a slightly sweet sauce. Super friendly people even though they were slamming busy. Don't order online though, prices are 20%+ higher, so just order by phone or in person. read more

The plain cheese pizza was a dry crust and there was zero cheese pull. Pre Covid, this place had decent crust. But this celebratory pizza for my son's 21st birthday was a huge disappointment. Should 'a gone to Domino's. read more

am not sure what the Hype is all about with this Food because I ordered a Large Pepperoni Pizza on Saturday April 18TH, 2026 and it was not good at all. It was a Delivery and it arrived slightly warm, dry and kinda hard and tasteless. It almost had taste of like wet Cardboard. Crust was hard like rock. It was Gross. Is this the Best New London has to Offer?...I have eaten some really Delicious Pizza and this is the second Delivery I have tried here in New London and it is Laughable.*New Visit at the Physical location - I just got back to New London from Torrington CT. And my Friend was Driving and I asked him if he was Hungry and he said he would surprise me lmao, he pulled into the parking lot of Pizzarama and said this is great food and I laughed. Anyways I decided to give it another chance And again NOT GOOD. I ordered a Ham and Cheese Grinder with lettuce tomato and mayonnaise...Two pieces of meat that tastes like SPAM and a ton of shredded lettuce to make it look like a big deal....my friend ordered a Meatball grinder that looked like a tiny Children's sandwich and a Coke and a water....$28.00 Dollars for MORE GARBAGE. AND AGAIN I SAY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE SETTLING FOR THIS GARBAGE RESTAURANT? read more

If you are looking for an authentic Greek pizza with a perfect crunchy crust then this is the place! The pizza is consistently great but what really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The owner Anthony is incredibly gracious. He Makes a point to greet and chat with everyone who walks in m.Anthony is the heart of the restaurant. It's rare to find a restaurant with the owner is genuinely is 100% engaged in serving a quality product in a family type atmosphere.Shout out to the staff too who's always amicable. And don't forget to try more than just the pizza homemade chicken soup delicious homemade meatballs the grinders Its all a win. read more

They don't have a chicken caesar salad, but they do have a grilled chicken salad that you can get with a side of caesar dressing. Close enough. I've gotten the grilled chicken salad twice now & both times the chicken has been cooked to perfection. The tomatoes were fresh & sliced thin. The portion was generous. The salad is $18 which seems like a lot, in my humble opinion. read more

Dont order the veggie pizza! I ordered a small and the bottom was wet, the veggies too large and RAW, and surprisingly tasteless. The peppers were nasty and chewy and for some reason the chef put full layers of each veg so the wet crust had no chance of holding up and the sauce and cheese were invisible compared to the masses of raw unseasoned veg. For $20, I threw away all but two slices. read more

Great pizza and staff. The pizza was hot, crispy and tasty. The restaurant has a family vibe, l will definitely be back.

We love Pizzarama. We go there when we visit our son in Waterford. Great pizza! We have been going there since the mid Seventies. We love it! We bring frozen ones home to enjoy even when we're not in CT! Bob and Sue H. Spencer Mass read more

Among the worst pizza I've ever had. I got a plain cheese pizza and the crust was like cardboard, sauce was flavorless, and cheese was greasy and unappetizing. (14" set me back $20) You can get better value and quality at dominoes, skip this place. read more

I love their pepperoni pizza. There is really a nice flavor in the crust and I like the sauce to cheese ratio. It's just right. I also really like the turkey grinder. The bread is really soft and fresh. Don't change a thing, Pizzarama! read more

Pizzarama Drive-In, New London, CT I'm here to rate only one thing - their incredibly delicious sausage & mushroom pizza!  In fact, that's all I've ever ordered.  But, because of the taste and texture of their crust, plus the flavor of their sauce and mozzarella, their other pizzas are bound to be equally excellent. Not greasy.  Crispy, chewy crust.  Superb-tasting pizza tomato sauce.  Nice big chunks of delicious sausage, instead of little crumbly bits.  Wonderful mozzarella flavor. The atmosphere is clean and tidy, but dated and in need of a re-do.  But, honestly, I've been in much more attractive pizza parlors that served terrible pizza.  I'll give them a pass on the decor, especially at times like this when businesses are failing everywhere due to the pandemic. I see many people ordering different entrees instead of a pizza pie, so I'll bet they do a bang-up job on their dinners, as well.  Let's all give them our business, so they can afford to redecorate.  Hah!  I recommend their pizza very highly!! read more

Pizzarama Drive-In - Pizza Near Me - New London, Connecticut

My husband visited this establishment today; the following is his review... I stopped for lunch at Pizzarama. It was awful. But they alleged to have been in business for 60 years! At one point, a worker came out with a giant vat of pizza dough and scraped it out onto the counter, repeatedly reaching over it to pull it further out of the vat, each time inadvertently pressing into it with his belly. Workers were everywhere behind the counter preparing customer's food. They touched everything with their hands. And while I realize that touching the food, even with an ungloved hand, is a sometimes necessary part of preparing food, the manner in which these workers touched the food was as common and nonchalant as scratching your nose, or behind your ear, which for all I know, was happening in between. At least in some restaurants, a chef will touch food with their hand, but only on a corner, simply to adjust it. But these workers did everything with their hands. One server used both hands to scoop chunks of pre-cut and pre-cooked sausage out of a plastic tub. One server broke up handfuls of white onion slices on top of a salad, apparently ignoring the more civilized approach of say, chopping it with a knife. Their slogan was, "Pizza with personality". But it should have been, "We make it all by hand". I won't be going back to Pizzarama. The workers were big contributors to my disgust. You might say, they had a hand in it. read more

The crust is good. The pizza is not good. In fact, my husband and I got food poisoning! I assume from the ricotta that was almost obviously no good. The waitress never brought my drink, but tried to charge me! Would never come back here again. read more

I'm giving this place a 2 star rating because it seems like it's well loved. I didn't get to try the pizza, so I can't judge that part of the menu. I ordered the Langoustine grinder, which turned out to be seafood salad. It definitely did not have langoustine or anything resembling lobster, even though they called it that (and charged for that). It was definitely imitation crab meat, and I am not a fan. The bread was delicious, so I'm sure other grinders are amazing. When I came in to pick up my order, the guy behind the counter accidentally flipped the entire contents of my sandwich onto a table top as I watched... and then proceeded to use his bare hands to scoop the ingredients back into the bread. They were all very nice, so I tried to let it go and just eat the sandwich... but it was so gross. I ordered a grapenut pudding, which they wrapped it up to go. I'm so glad I opened it while in the restaurant, because it was completely covered in mold. When I asked for a refund, they said several times they'd get me a new one, and I just stuck to my guns on that one. At that point, I was not trusting their sanitation practices. Sorry, but I won't be back. read more

Today I went to Pizzarama in New London, CT. It has been about 10 years since I last ate here. I ordered a BLT grinder, lightly toasted and a diet soda. Both arrived at the same time. I wish the soda come sooner. My waitress was very pleasant. The BLT grinder was great! Fresh, hot, the right amount of bacon. It is loud inside with the constant chatter from the kitchen. And pizza pans clanging together. Also I did not hear any music inside, I listened to Pandora on my phone. A good experience, just a little slow on food and soda delivery. Really noisy inside! read more

Barbecue wings where ok, mozzarella sticks where meh, and the pizza tasted like the one you get at a birthday party at Chukee Cheese. They don't fry anything so I guess at least it's healthier? read more

Every time I visit from Florida this is usually one of my first stops for pizza. I love the crust and their pepperoni is awesome. They usually cook the pizza a little on the well done side but I actually prefer it that way. I was surprised to read the bad reviews on here...the place has been around forever and is always busy so they must have plenty of satisfied customers. read more

Have always loved the grinders and pizza here, but tonight I actually bit into a dime that was in my grinder! Would have appreciated a more sincere concern when I called to let them know, rather than them calling me lucky. I guess I am lucky I didn't choke on it. With all the uncertainty in the world to begin with, I don't want to be chomping down on money! read more

I love this restaurant and have been coming here since the late 80's. They have the best sauce and meatballs for their pasta. I also really like their grinders, pizza and salads. Great food and great service everytime! read more

It's like Pizza Hut in the 90s with a Greek twist. Old school vibe. Nice folks. Reasonably priced.

NOT CHILDREN FRIENDLY No Changing table in the rest room nor was I allowed to change my granddaughters wet pamper in the booth. Then they watched me to ensure that I didn't change her while I put her pants and boots back on. The food is lacking in taste as well. Just go to the next pizzeria less than 2 mins away (illianos). I will never return!! I strongly suggest not to go with a baby!!! read more

Excellent pizza and excellent chili! Friendly staff and comfortable dining area! If you love pizza, you will love this place!

Careless. You want something made a certain way? Oh well, they're going to make it how they want.

I have been eating at Pizza Rama for 27 years. They are a great bunch of people they make a great pizza and awesome grinders. Every time you stop in it's a friendly greeting. You feel right at home. They have never let me down. Sit at the counter or get a table it's like going back to the 70s. Good food at great Prices keep up the good work. read more

It's with a heavy heart that I must give my favorite grinder place a measly 2 stars thus it is not without merit! I visit this shop just about every Friday in my way to work, I care for a lovely elderly woman who has Alzheimer's disease and every Friday I bring her a half of my grinder and we dine together! Well yesterday I called and placed my order as usual for my sandwich ok moving forward I fixed our plates and noticed the bread was stale, not good,but I figured it would soften WRONG-O ! I had asked for extra tomatoes and extra lettuce and light cheese not no cheese ok well I'm sure by now you see I was not happy and at 12 dollars for a large grinder I was peeved ! so now I'm going to try Hamilton Street Market next Friday!!! read more

This is an AWESOME place. I have been coming here since 1978 and the food is the absolute best. You can't get any better grinders or pizza in CT or RI - and it has a small town feel - family owned that makes it truly authentic. This is a blast from the past when food was made with love and family. Go here you will not be disappointed. read more

Hamburger pizza is fire... different than I've had anywhere else. Their crust is good for some reason, never dry but it's crispy. They do slices too... go with that for lunch or the Genoa grinder. read more

First time we tried Pizzarama last night. Decided to splurge and have 2 large "langostino lobster" grinders. I have little doubt there was either langostinos or lobster in there, but it was indiscernable. But what WAS discernable was that $2 a pound fake crabmeat which is all we (3 of us) could taste or see. At just over $41 for the 2 sandwiches, it was a splurge for us and we were ripped off by a false description. The bread and lettuce and tomato was all fresh and I'm sure they make a very good grinder, and I'd like to try something else another time, but I feel I got taken by a dishonest description. Maybe something got mixed up - seafood salad. We ate the sandwiches later and couldn't call, but it is very disappointing that they'd describe something as lobster or langostinos that is just seafood salad everywhere else. We know the difference as most people do in this area where everyone's got lobster salad on the menu in the summer. read more

I have not been in for a while, but I never had a problem there. Pizza was alright-tasted good and was inexpensive. It probably helped that I was half in the bag or outright drunk many of the times that I stopped in to eat. Plus they put out coupons every now and then. Maybe not always the cleanest place all of the time, but I was often there later in the day after the dinner crowd. read more

We went in there today 5/17, we ordered a large buffalo pizza, our regular and it was amazing like always. Just the right amount of buffalo sauce, enough to make my tounge tingle, but not so much that I sweat. And it was every single bite was crunchy. read more

Pizza and service are pretty good but nothing really stands out at Pizzarama. Ambiance is ok, parking is ok, location is ok... If you're looking for a consistently ok experience you'll find it here, and there's really nothing wrong with that! read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years. Pizza is good, so are the grinders. Also people complaining about them not wearing gloves...get over it. They wash their hands constantly. Never gotten sick from eating here. Do you really think chefs at 5 star venues wear gloves. Smh read more

The pizza here is awesome! Thicker crust, sauce was delicious. We had a Greek salad which was basic but the homemade Italian dressing and chunky blue cheese were really good. The staff looks old school Italian and I just loved it in here. Definitely a nice place to stop at if your driving thru. My daughter even ate the crust, and that never happens. read more

This Restaraunt has been in New London for years. I can remember going here to get pizza when I was a little girl. They used to have the best pizza in town second to Ocean Pizza. Now the take out pizza is less than edible, often burnt, cold, with miserly toppings and cheese. The dine in service is almost as bad. The waitresses are very friendly but the service is terrible. The wait time for your order is 20 minutes, you have to ask for your drinks three times and may never get it & the pizza is burnt and not delicious. What a shame.... I will not be going back. read more
