Looks like a typical little pizza place to be found in southern Connecticut... busy at lunch and dinner time; busy with take out orders and a couple handfuls of patrons. Walking in to that aroma of sauce and cheese and fresh basil washes over and after taking that first bite into the delicious combination of New Haven style pizza dough and perfectly seasoned sauce... and cheese - you know you're in a REAL New Haven style Pizza Parlor! Each time we've been there (4 times) since Spring of this year - it's been a great experience from eating 'in' or taking a pie home!! Always worth the trip! The service is always friendly and easygoing and helpful !! Never an issue and every pizza made to order! We had a birthday gathering for our Mom in May... and ordered 4 large pizzas with toppings and each one was better than the last! We had 18 people over and everyone loved the choices! I have always been fussy about pizza dough freshness and crispiness and so far ... Puglia's doesn't disappoint! Try it for yourself! read more

Stopped by here for a quick slice of pizza and it was delicious! It took about 30 seconds in the pizza oven for him to heat it up and it couldn't have tasted better! I will be back! Yum! read more

I called ahead for a pick up order. Went smoothly even though I didn't know the name of the pizza I wanted -- couldn't find it on their menu but only saw it in pics on yelp. Place was cute, big, inviting, you can see right into their kitchen. The staff were super friendly and quick to attend to me. The only can say other than the pizza was like 8 out of 10 good, is that the center of the pizza, the crust, was flimsy. Flimsy as well as a bit soggy, esp if you don't eat it fast enough. Maybe, if I ever do go back, I'll order it well-well done? I don't think it should be knocked until tired though, thank you Puglia ! Straight from Italy the owner is so you go and be the judge ! read more

Their Pizza's are a real treat. I suggest takeout since there is limited seating and not much amibiance, unless you want to observe the pizza chef working Service is friendly and efficient read more

3 only because he refuses to deliver, and have GF options. Great slices and huge. Ambiance - meh, service very good. I'd stop in for another slice but we get pizza every Friday and he's missing out on delivery at $60-70 a week from this customer. read more

Second visit only because getting to Southbury isn't convenient. Nothing though has changed, this pizza has got to be some of the best in Ct. I only wish that it was closer.. will definitely make the effort to return soon! read more

Puglia Pizzeria - Diavola (no olives) - Pizza Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

I had one of the best pizzas I've ever tasted. I was initially unsure about the menu because it had some unfamiliar names, but the descriptions were accurate and helpful. The wings were also good, especially the buffalo sauce. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The atmosphere was unassuming; it's a small place, but the interior is extremely clean. I highly recommend this place! read more

I ordered dinner from Puglia Pizzeria again last week. It was delicious. This last time I ordered a lasagna, which was enough for two. It came with a nice salad and lots of bread. I had ordered garlic bread, not knowing that it would be included. I'm glad I did because it was very tasty. They serve great food in a friendly, welcoming environment. My plan is to go back and try yet another item on their menu. read more

Best linguine and clam sauce ever. Bella was our waitress and she was amazing. Would recommend anybody in the area.. amazing food. read more

Puglia Pizzeria - The best linguine and clam sauce ever. - Pizza Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

I've been a regular for 2 years. Especially for eggplant parm dinner with great taste and good value. Today, the chef must have spilled the salt shaker in the red sauce because the salt overwhelmed. Not so heavy on the salt guys! T Y read more

Where do I start with this? This was my first time here it will not be my last. The pizza was absolutely amazing. A friend of mine and I grabbed a large Margherita Verace and we added meatballs. We decided to eat in as we were attending the movies down the street.. the place has a few seats and tables. At least five tables. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, and they gave us some history on the chef. I was definitely full the rest of the evening. I can't get over how delicious that pizza was. I can't wait to try the other varieties. I feel like I didn't take enough pictures to show you when I go again, I will take more. The pricing seemed very reasonable considering the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. read more

Delicious. Authentic. Perfection. Thank you!! So hard to find new great spots to eat and Puglia is phenomenal. read more

One of the few wood fired pizzas in the Southbury area. I've stopped in several times for slices during lunch. They use good quality ingredients and service is friendly. The slices are huge. I wish they were a little crispier but still very tasty and a good selection during lunch. Will be back soon. read more

Went to a local winery but the food menu was limited so we decided to stop here for pizza! I'm glad we did because the pizza at Puglia Pizzeria was amazing! We got the Brindisi pizza and Le Murge pizza. They were a hit. Highly recommend. They do have some indoor seating, which was perfect since it was a very rainy day. Lovely little gem in Southbury. read more

First time trying Puglia. Hands down best pizza dough I've ever tasted! Bursting with flavor combined with fresh ingredients. Wonderful job!!! A real Pizzeria with a wood burning oven, small but perfect. The service was spot on with kindness and attentiveness. All the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves with company and delicious cuisine. I'm definitely going back to try everything little by little. Tonight my favorite was the Calzone Napoletano read more

I have only had takeout, but the staff is always pleasant when picking up food. They always are accommodating and will customize your order. The food is always fresh and plentiful and dinners come with bread and a good sized salad. I have had take out several times and the food is always outstanding. read more

The best pizza close to our home! I grew up on New Haven style and my husband grew up on New York style. Puglia Pizza hits the mark for both of us and my Italian mother is in love with it too. The crust is perfect and they have so many tasty options. The first time we placed an order, we ordered 4 different 12" pizzas to try our potential favorites. We loved them all! The Margherita is our top choice - traditional and delicious. Very clean restaurant and super friendly staff. This is our new go-to for pizza! read more

The food is amazing at Puglia. The owner always is so friendly and says "Enjoy!"... which we do... Thank you Puglia !

We called for take out to Puglia, we weren't in the mood for pizza so we decided on dinners. What a fantastic choice. My wife got chicken français and I chose linguini and shrimp with a scampi sauce. Both our dinner came with a generous salad and homemade bread. What a great addition to Southbury! The wood fired oven and pizzas looked amazing as well. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. UPDATE: 3/20 Stopped again tonight for lasagne and eggplant parm. ANOTHER FANTASTIC meal! read more

We have had eggplant , lasagna and the pizza. Everything was excellent! Everything is five stars, and the service can't be beat!

Fantastic pizza and service, w true pizza chef from Puglia! When we walked in and saw the pizzas, it was clear this is a special place. The owner says it's talent and high quality flour, sauce and mozzarella (but the price is still good). We ate inside to see this pizza chef work! And savored every bite of the veggie pizza. Nice ambiance and easy to talk. Don't miss this gem! read more

Casual spot with upscale pizza and dishes. Can't wait to go back and get a pasta dish or a dessert. Not a lot of seating but we had no problem getting a seat around 12:30 on a Saturday. read more

What a hidden gem!! Chef Mario is pushing all the right buttons. Hands down the pizza here is NOT replicated by any pizza restaurant in Connecticut with the exception of New Haven. If Barstool reviewed this place, Chef Mario would need to expand quickly!! Looking forward to trying an Entree or Sandwich. read more

Oh, the Bolognese!!! Honestly, the best I have ever had. My husband had the lasagne which was fantastic as well. We ordered a small pizza too as we had never been there before and wanted to try it but ate too much pasta! LOL. read more

First town trying since the place changed hands. Nice folks, friendly chit chat, greeted w a smile. Pizza is a good pie, good sauce, right amount of cheese, I like a charred undercarriage. I don't think it's the best in the area, but I can see some Locals being loyal to it. Seems like the restaurant is havjng the same issue w the HVAC as the last owners . It just too hot in there to enjoy a meal and at $20 for a small pizza w one topping, you can't really enjoy it when you uncomfortably hot. read more

Great pizza , nice atmosphere, clean , kind service ! The pizza is delicious wood fired !!

Went today 2/24/24 for lunch because I've been dying to try this place . Service is friendly and fast and we got our order quickly. The place isn't that's large but there are tables and limited seating . It's clean and well lit. We ordered a Margherita and it was really very good. Naples style , wood fired oven and very flavorful . The menu is fairly extensive and they offer more than pizza . They also sell by the slice if you're on the go and in a hurry .Looking forward to a return visit read more
