Ordered a pizza to go. Showed up and waited approximately an hour. I had hungry people waiting to eat, which is the only reason I waited for a mediocre pizza. This place has not been the same since they moved down the street. read more

Called in an order for delivery. I ordered pasta with marina. The pasta was way overcooked. I could not eat the meal.

The pizza here are super duper cheesy! They're also very pretty when you see them. We decided to try out the eggplant with ricotta cheese and the clam casino. Of the two the clam casino was definitely the winner. The clam casino had a good amount of clams so that you really a taste of the clam and the fresh garlic pieces in the pizza really added a kick. The eggplant is very interesting if you want to eat meat but don't want to eat meat. The ricotta eventually got too heavy and the eggplant seems to have been fried before baking so it gets a little oily after a few slices. The bread of the pizza is bit more on the breadier side and the crust didn't really have a flavor. I am a big fan of the New Haven style crust where it is thinner and a bit more on the burnt(but not fully burned) side, but this has potential. It would be great if they seasoned the crust a bit more to give the pizza a more complete taste from start to finish. Overall the pizza is pretty decent. They came on time when I ordered for a timed delivery and they notified me when it was left at my door step. May try again. read more

Food is excellent! I especially like the chicken Parmesan dinners. Staff is polite and friendly. I only order out as they eat in place is not inviting. read more

Good experience with Sorrentos. I had a large order of 14 pizzas. They arrived at the expected time and price was reasonable for extra large pies. Pizza was tasty as well. read more

Pizza is usually great, this time I ordered delivery. The delivery driver was banging hard on my door very rude. What was supposed to be a small cheese pie ended up being a cheese and onion pie. My child is allergic to onions. Yep. read more

Horrible place! Placed an order and paid for penne vodka with chicken and got no chicken. Then placed an order for pasta and meatball and got 3 tiny meatballs. Both times during non busy times. When I called to inquire about the missing chicken and tiny and lack of meatballs, I was told that I had to drive down there again for the missing protein while having 2 little kids with me! I would not recommend this place at all! Terrible customer service! read more

I was in the area last week and I decided to try Sorrento's pizza and I was glad I did it was delicious.

Sorrento's Restaurant & Pizzeria - Best deep dish pizza I've ever had slice Pizza loaded with meat and cheese unbelievable - Pizza Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

I have been a loyal customer for 20 years and unfortunately this business has declined in customer service as well as food quality. I called in an order for pick up and upon arrival at my home I opened up my order to reveal that the eggs in my chef salad were grey. The yolks were very discolored. I called the establishment and expressed my concerns and the response was very alarming as the person on the phone was very aggressive stating that he made the salad and there's nothing wrong with it , I continued to say politely that I have been a customer for about 20 years and I was concerned yet I received a very unprofessional response(he said do not order here then). I'm upset as I have been a customer for so long and I have never experienced this type of service. I was screamed at and hung up on. Very distasteful for a long time customer. I will not be ordering from this establishment again unfortunately due to the terrible treatment I received. It is unfortunate as I have been a Hamden resident for many decades and have ordered here at least monthly. The arrogance and rudeness I experienced was out of line and unprofessional. read more

We ordered a cheese pizza and a bacon pizza. Sauce sucked and there was hardly any bacon. Pizza was pretty tasteless. We were disappointed. read more

24 minutes agoNEW It's just okay. Very bland. Ordered 5 things from the menu, didn't think any were worth the calories. Deluxe Torta Pizza is somehow extremely bland. As someone who loves Deep Dish and has been to Chicago several times this was very disappointing. Tasted like ricotta and bread and little else. Entire pizza ended up in the freezer just because I don't have the heart to throw away so much food. Technical execution of all dishes was pretty good, delivery was very fast. With so many better local delivery options (Sergio, Amici) unfortunately there will be no "next time" for us. read more

Great Italian restaurant. Affordable for the family. Great and convenient location.Near shopping. Great service and friendly staff.

Food is good. Extremely slow delivery. Said it would be here between 7:00pm-7:10pm. It's now 7:55pm.

Not sure where the hate is coming from. Just ordered our first 2 pizzas through Slice and absolutely loved them both, will order again. My spouse is super critical of clam pizzas and totally loved this one. read more

Delish! Pizza arrived hot and fresh! Sauce was amazing. Lots of cheese, and the crust was perfect!

This pizza place is close to our office and we were so hungry we decided to give it a try thinking they were mer mins away from us that it would probably be a quick delivery. That was not the case even though I could walk there it took them an hour to deliver two small pizzas. You could say we were hangry about the delivery time but to top it off, it was the absolute worst pizza I have ever had. I had ordered a cheese pizza it was overcooked and barely had a layer of cheese on it. Honestly I've ordered Domino's in desperation and their pizza is better then Sorrento's. I will never order from this place again no matter how close it is to our office. read more

Our pick up order was slightly incorrect and when I called the restaurant I spoke to a super awesome guy who who fixed the mistake and had a new pizza delivered without any issues! The new pizza was seriously good and the customer service I received was really appreciated! Thanks for the great resolution and wonderful dinner read more

Went in for the first time yesterday and ordered a pepperoni pizza. It was awful, dripping in grease. My husband only made it through one slice, I ate 2 slices, didn't want to waste so we asked for the rest to go, but ended out throwing it all away when we got home. So sad. As well, the ambience left a lot to be desired. Our waitress had what looked to be slippers on her feet, and looked like she had rolled out of bed and shown up. We were the first customers of the day, but still .... Bummed out, as we were hoping for a better experience and a new local pizza place to enjoy. But not this place, unfortunately. read more

This is a hidden gem for good, cheap pizza outside of the New Haven pizza shops. Go to their website and print the 20% off coupon. The pies are big, cheap, and very good. I'm not sure what happened to Jennifer's pizza, but I thought their pepperoni pizza was surprisingly not greasy. The bacon and the buffalo chicken pizzas are very good. I'm struggling to give this one four stars because of the decor. This place is a total dump. I've only done takeout, but I have a sneaky suspicion this would dip to three stars if I ate in the building. read more

I decided to try this place yesterday. I ordered a grilled chicken grinder and instead I got a friend breaded chicken grinder. It was not awful, yet not what I ordered. I was feeing lazy, so I requested delivery and it took nearly an hour to arrive. There was nothing special about the grinder the bread was just generic and the chicken was a little over cooked for me. I don't think I will be trying this place again. There are a lot of places to choose from in Hamden. If you are in dire straights then this place is okay just don't expect a knock your socks off experience. read more

I'm editing the review below (originally 4 stars) as the food has taken a huge nose dive over the last 6 months. Orders are delivered incorrectly and the food tastes old, oily and kind of like it was made by someone who's never had Italian before. Pizzas are greasy with uneven, often burnt crust. It's really disappointing since this used to be one of my favorite Italian places. **original review** Certainly no Sally's, but Sorrentos has pretty good pizza. I've also had several seafood dishes and breads which are also quite good. If you're going to eat in in recommend eating in the dining room and not the small area near the doors/kitchen (although they always try to plop you down there) read more

Easily the best delivery pizza I've had in my life. Just moved out of New Haven to Hamden and I don't see the need to look any farther for delivery pizza. read more

Ordered lunch for a Tuesday afternoon. I've used their online ordering before without any issues. However, after waiting over an hour I called to find out what was going on. I was then informed they hadn't even STARTED mine yet, when I said "really?" The woman on the other end just said "we're really busy" no apology, no attempt to rectify the situation, just an excuse. Even after I asked to just cancel the order, she did not seem to care. Menu is now in the garbage. read more

We ordered takeout from here. One disappointment was that they didn't have garlic listed as a topping option, I may have been able to ask for it but it's not a big deal. The pizza itself was pretty good, I'm not a crunchy crust fan but I was happy with it nonetheless. The garlic bread was okay, not great but no complaints. read more

Sorrento makes good pizza in its brick ovens, away from the queues and the crowds in Wooster Square. As reviewer Karen M. notes, their pizza isn't greasy like Pepe's, but it's traditional local pizza, with a good thin crust. The people with whom I share Sorrento's pizza are particularly fond of the "vegetarian" combo -- green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and garlic -- it's a combination we can all agree on, with tasty toppings that thoroughly cover the pizza. Although I might give positive reviews to some of the pizza served in Tennessee -- where I live, Tennessee pizza is a poor substitute for Connecticut pizza. Ironically, Sorrento's pizza even costs a bit less than some of the pizza we get in Tennessee. A lot of Sorrento's pizzas are sold for carry-out, but the pizza is hotter -- and tastes better -- when you eat it there. Sorrento's has dining booths in two rooms, as well as a separate dining room (with tables) that often isn't open. As Karen M. says, the atmosphere is nothing special, but it's an OK place to eat pizza and drink beer or soda (birch beer is popular among my pizza-eating companions). read more

We've used these folks to cater several of our New Haven based training workshops in the last year and have been very please. We had 80 people at one and we could have fed even more with the food they gave us. The prices are great. I'm about to put in an order for our workshop next Tuesday. read more

The only reason this place gets a 2 is because the delivery driver was 5* friendly! Meatball grinder was a soggy mess - threw away all of the bread. The sauce the use might be okay on a pizza with toppings but 99% of store brand jar sauce is better. Meatballs aren't homemade - definitely from a freezer. Won't order again read more

I will never order again!!! I ordered on Christmas Eve. DRY ass pizza!! Hardly any toppings!! Fake ass Italian antipasto salad!! Worst experience ever!! Spent $65 and called about the food. They did nothing to make things right! Just said "they put the same amount on cheese on every pizza". For real that was all they said to me. Honestly they should get no stars cause 1star is too many!!! read more

I got the tomato pie and motz sticks and I was super unhappy... the pizza was soggy and had no flavor and the motz sticks tasted like they were frozen and just thrown in a fryer with old oil. I got delivery and at least that was quick but I won't order from here again... really upsetting! read more

I will never order from this place again. Food was cold and nasty and was told that the food was delivered as soon as it was ready. There is no way fried mozzarella would be cold and like a sold cheese stick if it was delivered as soon as it was ready. Ordered a grinder and it wasn't correct. We also ordered fish n chips...guess what the fries were soggy and the fish was mushy. Called to let them know about the food and all I could hear across the room was the manager yelling at us on the phone. I understand if you are busy cause it's the Super Bowl but you know this happens every year and you should be staffed as such. Also never gives anyone the right to yell at a paying customer. If I did were to do this at my job, you wouldn't have a job anymore! read more

The pizza wasn't bad (did not taste like brick oven) and the service could have been better (if she wouldn't yell when in the kitchen). There were also a ton of fruit flies around the restaraunt so it was hard to enjoy our meal. I don't think I will go back any time soon but I've also experienced worse. :-/ read more

"Italian Food" So Laughably Bad, You'd Think They Were Competing for Worst in the World So... I decide to double down on stupidity and order a second time from Sorrento's in Hamden, this time completely by accident. You see, the first time was such a horrific experience that I must have blocked it from my memory. When it came up "four stars" on Grub Hub and "three stars" on Yelp, I was thinking "what the hey" why not throw away thirty-five bucks on some pasta? And while I'm at it, why not punch myself in the face with a brick while I'm waiting for the order to get here? Since it's basically blizzard conditions here, still while I type, I thought I'd throw in a respectable 15% tip for the delivery service, which was tantamount to committing seppuku and then lighting myself on fire. When the food arrived in a box, the guy basically dropped it on the floor like Kanye dropping a mic onstage, foreshadowing that I just got rolled in a way that could only be comparable to a carjacking or clicking on "hot pics of Katy Perry!" only to find some jerkwad had posted Rosie O'Donnell stills from Exit to Eden. I dug into the food to discover that the salad was about the only thing they got right. The Fetuccini alfredo was actually some effed up gnocchi that were about as chewy as pencil-erasers, and were freezer burned for so long you could carbon date them back to the Late Cretaceous period (don't ask me how velociraptors can get their tiny bony fingers to roll pasta like that). The white soupy composite mess reminded me of glue, except blander. The cheese ravioli looked like ruptured pasta pillows stuffed with sloppy joe drowning in a lake of canned Hunts' red sauce. They were like tiny islands of pain in an ocean of fail. Half of the italian bread was doughy and undercooked, while the other half looked like it had survived Bikini atoll. Barely. Overall, I'd say this effort was so bad that I scratch my head wondering how this restaurant is still in business. That is, except for poor shmucks like me who buy food there after trusting reviews online NOT to be spammed by lazy, drug-addled cooks who can make time to rate themselves on webpages but not to cook a frickin' piece of bread right. This place makes a high school cafeteria look like Eleven Madison Park in NYC. It was truly a tasteless, disrespectful display this restaurant showed me. It was a giant epic middle finger extending over the horizon exploding into a fireworks display that would make New Year's rocking eve in Dubai look like a company picnic. I wouldn't recommend them for a dogs night out. Steer well clear. read more

Great staff, great pizza. Crust is always perfect. And if you're looking for a good gluten free pizza look no further. The crust on the gluten free pizza is delicious and doesn't fall apart when you bite into it. read more

This is my favorite pizza in New Haven County. As someone who has lived in the area for 20+ years I've had the opportunity to taste most of the pizza in the area. The seasoning and tomato sauce is perfection and the crust is somewhere between thick and thin. So flavorful. A true gem in Hamden. I come here whenever I don't know what to eat or when my head is scrambled because I'm so famished. I'm currently here not after a long day and was so hungry. They kindly let us sit in the restaurant even though we ordered pickup! I love sorrentos and I have for years. read more

Food delivered cold and half the order was wrong. Called and was told they were busy and I could bring it to them and I said no they could come pick it up. Was told no they were to busy and it wasn't there problem. Then he starts yelling at me because they were wrong..... read more

I love this place! Just as good and in some cases far better than most New Haven pizza without all the nonsense and tourists. Two Additional signs of Greatness: 1. Best chicken parmigiana dinner in the area (possibly the Continent?) 2. Great Calamari Appetizer.. a heaping plate of fried tentacles! what a beautiful sight after so many disappointing mediocre plates of "tubes" everywhere else. Yes it is a bit of a dump but who cares.. If pizza is your thing then I strongly suggest eating in and getting the full fresh experience. Great Prices too! read more

Super quaint restaurant! The prices are insanely cheap for the amount of food you get and it's great quality! I wish I knew of this place before! We ordered the Cesar salad, great portion meal sized salad for a side salad price! The chicken tenders and fries which was amazing the chicken was so juicy and crispy and then the bbq wings which was cheap compared to other places in Hamden and so good, they were crispy and saucy! They also came with celery which I love! This place is quality and cheap! Will definitely be going back! read more
