Went there for the first time yesterday, and sat at the bar w my husband. It was about 1:15. We weren't greeted for probably 10 mins, then another 5 to be offered drinks. We got the pizza flight, and so glad we did! Even though service wasn't great from start to finish, the pizza was delicious! Def will be back to try other menu items. The vibe is college culture, but has some mature features to attract all crowds. read more

Square Peg Pizzeria & Bar - SMALL Figgy Piggy SMALL Jackpot THE MARGHERITA - Italian Near Me - Mansfield, Connecticut

I've been to this Square Peg location before on a Men's Basketball game day and my spouse has been here for work lunches. Thus, this wasn't our first time here, but will definitely be our last. Getting a table wasn't a problem, as we were the third table to be seated in an otherwise empty restaurant at about 11:50 AM. Although we had a 5+ minute wait for the waitress to actually acknowledge we were waiting to be seated. After being seated, we watched as the two waitresses took orders, seated new arrivals, made drinks, and delivered food and beverages to all of the tables that came after us. We waited 30 minutes before we were able to get the attention of the waitress who originally sat us to ask if we could have our orders taken or even just some water. She wasn't having any of it and snapped at us that there were only two of them working the whole place and walked away. We waited about 10 more minutes of no service before we left and went to a restaurant that knows how to properly staff on a game day. Bottom line: Not Recommended. read more

The pizza quality was poor low on pepperoni chewy like frozen pizza and the service for takeout was low I get on average about six text a week to come back yet I feel I was paying to much for the quality of pizza I was getting read more

We tried to go here but stood in line too long waiting for someone to seat us. Too many customers not enough servers. Management issue!! read more

Back at college, so I went to square peg pizzazeria for a quick bday dinner. A lot of students come here on the weekends, but I definitely think their strong suit is their dinner. It took a few minutes to be seated, but I think they were understaffed and it was a Monday night. After 5 minutes, we sat down, and our server took a few minutes to get to the table. I personally don't mind since I like a lot of time to look at the menu, and then put my food in all at once. The menu was a lot bigger than I expected, and they also had pasta. We came for the pizza though. My boyfriend got the calamari, which he said tasted fresh but could be better. We also split a caesar salad. This was a classic, the croutons were great. Solid salad. The PIZZA was amazing!!! Definitely a standout. hard to find good pizza near UCONN b/c of the fast food options, but this definitely solidified Square Peg as on top. We got a small, which was a good size for two of us with the apps. We also got the spicy margarita. It was delicious and fresh. Definitely coming back! read more

I usually get take out pizza from here and most of the time it is nicely done. Today for the first time the pie (I ordered a large) the pie looks smaller. And when I order a large pepperoni I get a lot of pepperoni. Not so much today. Today I got cheated on the pepperoni and the size of the pie. I'll try again but I hope there not starting to cut value. read more

Square Peg Pizzeria & Bar - LARGE Pepperoni - Italian Near Me - Mansfield, Connecticut

Best pizza and pasta restaurant in Storres. We spent the day at Storres taking graduation pics and didn't expect much for lunch given it was off-season and all the students were long gone. Had a wonderful lunch with some drinks, except for the driver (me) 5/5 drink selection, drink quality, service and food. I had my typical shrimp salad, wife ordered a pizza for the table and daughter had a very good pasta dish. Great new place in storres plus the outdoor eating area is perfect. Loved our visit! read more

Unfortunately the first word that comes to mind is overpriced. Wildly overpriced. Last night we tried their Detroit-style pizza and I can safely say it's the most expensive pizza I've ever purchased. It was tasty, albeit too salty, but charging more than $30 for a one-topping pizza that only occupies half the footprint of a standard/medium-sized cardboard pizza box is certifiably insane. Also tried the wings with Peg dry rub seasoning. Tasty seasoning, good blue cheese. No celery included. No carrots included. The wings themselves were fine, nothing special - but not surprisingly, they were small. Among the smallest I've seen served locally. $16 for eight small wings? Ridiculous. $10 for FOUR boneless tenders? Come on. We won't be back until they rethink their pricing. read more

The staff was wonderful as it was a busy weekend with Parents Weekend at UConn, but the food was subpar for the higher price point. Not the server's fault, but maybe it's because I'm a chef myself, I just found the meal quality disappointing. read more

Happy dads were great. Service and bartenders were super helpful as well. Enjoyed the Christmas music and decor. read more

We were one of the first brunch visitors at Square Peg on a Saturday morning. The space is really nice and a good option to have in downtown Storrs. Solid choices for brunch pizzas and cocktails, with a few unique menu items like the "wacky" waffle with pesto and even spaghetti pancakes. I was curious to try a bagel from here because it's the only Square Peg location, and they informed me they only had a sourdough bagel with cream cheese left. It was ice cold when it arrived at my table, so I'm not sure if had been in the freezer, but I was definitely a bit shocked that it wasn't even toasted. I did also find a small hair in the waffle. We enjoyed our pizza the most. Everything arrived quickly, and we were in and out in under an hour. read more

Square Peg recently opened a location on the UConn Storrs campus and I am so happy to have such a great sit-down option available now! Our service was incredible, we received our food and drinks super quickly despite the restaurant being quite busy. Our pizzas were amazing, they were perfectly toasted underneath and the unique toppings were really good. The cocktails are also all fantastic and very reasonably priced. The sandwiches are the stars of the show, they were both so delicious and very filling. There is a lot of seating which makes it a tad bit cramped, but the decoration and open kitchen are both really nice. I can't wait to go back! read more

If you've been to other Square Peg locations, this one might feel like a letdown. The Storrs location leans more toward a college bar atmosphere than the upscale dining experience you might expect. The food is decent, and the happy hour menu is a good deal for the price. It's a solid choice for a casual night out, especially for students or locals looking for a relaxed spot. But if you're hoping for the same elevated experience offered at other Square Peg spots, you'll likely be disappointed. This location has a different focus entirely. read more

Came in on Wednesday, really enjoyed my time. My server was amazing, I think her name was Lindsey. She was really running that restaurant! I got a pizza which was super yummy and a cocktail that my waitress recommended. Overall, really good experience. Great college restaurant. read more

Really enjoyed eating at Square Peg on my visit to Storrs! We were a large group, all on separate checks. No problems getting a table or navigating things with the group. The server was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I got the Figgy Piggy on gluten free crust upon his recommendation and it was great. Everyone else loved their food too. Wish we had one of these back home! read more

Excellent thin crust pizza. Sometimes a little bit burnt on bottom, but still quite tasty.

My daughter, my wife, and I have now eaten here three times. We love their house salad, and we love their pizza. Believe me, for me to say something about a house salad is saying a lot. Lettuce, onions, tomatoes, fennel, grated Parmesan, and a red wine vinegar dressing. My daughter and I have tried the margherita and the pepperoni, and my wife had had their gluten free dough for her pizzas, and they all have tasted great. The food has been consistently good. The service can be spotty. But the one thing that takes away from the experience is the volume of the music that's getting played. Deafening. Selection is good, I wish they'd play the whole song. My wife made the comment that it must be "ADD-J". Just unnecessarily loud. read more

Definitely the place for some hip college kids! Our pizza pies were absolutely delightful and delivered to our table in a swift manor. All the staff were very nice and worked together like a well-oiled machine. The energy was electric! read more

We've catered from Square Peg many times over the past couple of years for our men's college basketball team, and they never disappoint. The pizza always hits the spot--fresh, flavorful, and a team favorite. The service is consistently excellent, and the managers are great to work with. A big shoutout to Matt, who always makes sure our needs are taken care of smoothly. Square Peg has become a go-to for our team, and we truly appreciate their reliability and great food. read more

We tried Square Peg for dinner a few nights ago and it was great! We had a small Bianco pizza and a small Chicken Bacon Cacciatore pizza and both were fantastic. These were thin crust brick oven cooked pizzas. The dough was flavorful and fresh, with the perfect amount of chew and char. The toppings were inventive, unique, and perfect. We will definitely be back! We had leftover Bianco pizza that we ate the next day and it was still tasty and non-soggy, a definite bonus! read more

Terrible service. Mid food. Had a very disappointing experience. I went here and got pizza. Then got assaulted by the bar tender because he said my id was fake. read more

Terrible experience- 30 degrees out and had at least 100 people waiting in disorganized line . would absolutely not recommend for a night out. read more

It was crazy crowded and quite busy being post game from UConn men's basketball winning. It made for a loud yet fun environment and experience. That said, we were seated quickly and served quickly which was great! The food was hot and tasted on point. We ordered pizza which was great and chicken parmigiana. Also tasty! read more

Food and service was very good! Can recommend the Pizza, pasta, and cheesy bread. We were in a hurry to get to a game and the wait staff was excellent. read more

Got a small cheese pizza from here picked up while it was Relatively fresh and there was barely any cheese and barely any sauce. The boneless chicken on the other hand! Very good. I love the honey hot flavor. Not a bad spot and they are always packed so I don't blame them, not everyone is gonna do their part and that's everywhere you go. I would of liked if the pizza was a bit better though. read more

Looked forward to trying, but we were extremely disappointed in the rude and incompetent staff and poor management. The food was mediocre at best, but the rude and completely incompetent staff made it a miserable dining experience. Far better pizza, food and exceptional service around the corner at Blaze Pizza. This was a consensus opinion of the different parents and UConn students in our party; students said they would NEVER return, and neither will we!! read more

The food is fine, nothing special, however they are consistently blasting their speaker system which makes the meal unenjoyable. You have to yell to speak to the person sitting across from you at the table. The service can also be very hit or miss. If you're visiting, there are numerous other places in downtown with better food and overall experience. read more

The place is so loud you can't enjoy your meal. We should have known when we could hear the music from outside, but wanted to give it a shot. The food was fine, but our service was incredibly slow. Once we got seated we continually had to ask for drinks, then to order, and then for the check. read more

Beyond loud. Deafening. Food and drinks? Ok. But having to yell at someone seated right next to you is maddening.

I ordered a drink at the bar, and watched the bartender pour only the mixer in the cup. When I asked about it he denied it, and multiple people tried the drink and confirmed there was no alcohol in it. Expensive drinks, not worth the price when there's no alcohol in the drinks. read more

Worst service ever! Waited 25 mins for a table which was fine but when seated waited 20+ mins before deciding to get up and leave because noone came over to our table. read more

I can genuinely say I will never return. A few friends invited me to dinner here for my birthday and it was our first time trying. We were a larger party (8 people) but we had a reservation so we sat quickly. Our waitress was rude and very short. She did not ask if we wanted drinks, I had to order that with my meal but it did not arrive to the table until we asked someone else much much later. She asked if there was a birthday and everyone pointed to me and she said nothing else. I ordered a soda with my meal and it took 40 minutes and asking 5 other people to actually receive it. Furthermore, when the food began to arrive, my pizza was no where in sight. When I asked about they treated as if I was inconveniencing them or being dramatic. Eyes were rolled as if I was asking for too much but it was just the pizza had ordered at the same time as everyone else. All of my friends received their food and I waited an extra 25-30 minutes while they made my pizza. Because it was my birthday, my friends all wanted to wait to eat with me, this caused all of their food to be cold by the time I was served. I was genuinely trying to have a nice time and I feel like if the staff had been more apologetic and communicative about what happened with my food I would have understood. But I was treated like an inconvenience at my own birthday dinner because there were other customers (UConn basketball stars) that the restaurant staff demeaned more important. The cherry on top is that I am currently writing this review at 2 AM because the same pizza I waited so much longer for made me get sick (yes I know, how does this get worse?). I am so disappointed with my experience here and I hope they can figure out these issues. read more
