    Pickle pizza
    Alyssa F.

    Amazing experience per usual! Our waiter Mike was amazing and gave us this amazing tip that we can order half pizzas! Definitely will be back!

    Sausage and cheese pizza
    JoAnne K.

    I've been twice to Willington Pizza recently. Once for takeout after a hike in Mansfield and once for dinner in the dining room with my MIL. I have a gluten allergy so I'm always leery of pizza places and cross-contamination. I'm happy to report that I was fine after both visits. I had the traditional pizza first and the Seafood Casino on my second visit. Both were excellent and the GF crust was really good. My MIL had a sausage pizza and said it was the best she's had in quite a while. Service was good. I used the ladies room. It was clean and well maintained. If you are GF and looking for good pizza-try Willington Pizza.

    One of my best friends went to UConn and had always talked about the mashed potato bacon broccoli pizza at willington pizza house, so when we had an impromptu visit to the area I was super excited to try it! The restaurant itself is super cute and casual and everyone who works here friendly. And the pizza was huge and everything I could hope for and more! After a chaotic travel day post-flight cancellations, this pizza was a major highlight.

    The waitstaff was super friendly & polite. The ambiance was interesting - lots to look at. It had an old collectors charm to it. It was a big college football day, and plenty of TVs playing multiple games which was nice! We've heard a lot about willington pizza from family & friends who live in the area. Decided to try it. We opted for their famous red bliss potato & it was pretty good. Reminded me of a baked potato. The California pizza was ok, not a huge fan of sun dried tomatoes but it was pretty good. The best part was actually the crust, the crust was phenomenal. The coffee was great! I do wish I tried the special pickle pizza, it looked fantastic. Maybe our next trip out there.

    The cheese pizza.

    The service was great, the restaurant owner must have been a big collector, as there is a lot of newspapers and advertising posters across the restaurant. The vibe was chill and low key. The only issue I had was the pizza, which kept falling apart.

    Small seafood Pizza
    Sho R.

    I went for lunch on a week day. That place was not too busy. I went for a small seafood pizza and a small general tso's pizza. Finally I found a place which provides generous toppings for pizza. General tso's pizza was my favorite. Seafood pizza was also really good.

    We went here after a day of zip lining. It's right around the corner and we were starving. We heard so many great things about Willington pizza. Omg! It's amazing. We kind of ordered too much because we were starving but we're glad we tried what we ordered. Everything was great especially the Red potato pizza, margarita pizza, pierogis and calamari. Will definitely be back!

    Half hawaiian half California

    Willington is still much the same as it was when I last reviewed it, which was apparently over a decade ago! The parking lots and bathrooms are nicer now, and the bar has a better beer selection, and the food is still good. Much of the rest is unchanged - still rustic, NASCAR and UConn stuff all over the walls, same wood floors and booths, same small town charm, still a popular employer for UConn students as wait staff. As mentioned in my prior review, some of their pizzas are far enough away from traditional pizza that it might not cure a pizza craving, but others are available as well of course. I typically get one traditional pizza and one specialty pizza to cover all bases. The red potato pizza is a staple here, and a good option for the non-traditional option. The California is also very good, but you better like roasted garlic, as there'll be a LOT of it. That was my latest pizza here, and I had honestly forgotten how good it is. I think I'm drooling. Good thing the keyboard isn't under my chin. Important note - their pizza style is the more traditional thicker crust, not New Haven thin crust or those small artisan pizzas. The large salads are still very worth it, and the garlic bread is delicious. If multiple people want a salad, try getting one of the larges instead. Granted not all of them can be ordered as a large, but it's your best bet financially if the one you wanted does. Their meatballs are really good as well. We have ordered them to go on more than one occasion. The kids pasta dish was also a great deal, with the leftovers serving as my lunch the following day. Aside from that, however, I can't really comment on the rest of the food options. We usually stick to pizza. Service: The service is usually pretty good there. The waiter/waitress we've had in most cases has been a UConn student (or in that age range), but with a greater level of service than one might expect. I suspect they have a pretty good onboarding program or are limiting hiring to those with some documented experience, but that's all just a guess.

    Menu first two sections

    In town for a visit, we decided to visit this popular local casual restaurant offering something for everyone. This was once a house later turned into a restaurant. Great location with plenty of seating and a good selection of draft and can beer. The interior decor is auto racing - NASCAR themed. Alyssa was our server We started with a small Caesar salad with shaved parmesan cheese, dressed well. We decided on a large pepperoni and Hamburg well down. Pizza was ok, I was not a fan of the sauce and they cut the pizza in triangles which I wasn't expecting. I had a Roads to Ruin draft DIPA from Two Roads a local CT brewery I would go back and recommend you visit when in the area

    Large tossed salad with house dressing
    Leah S.

    We revisited an old favorite after a UConn basketball game and we were happy to see that not much had changed. The house salad was perfectly portioned for four. We couldn't pass up the chance to order the red potato pizza with broccoli and bacon, which is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night. We also ordered the chicken gorgonzola pizza which we thought tasted bland and dry. Both pizzas were densely loaded with toppings and served piping hot. Great memorabilia ranging from UConn basketball, to motor racing, and to current events. Do not pass up any opportunity you have to stop here when visiting the UConn campus!

    Mozzarella garlic bread
    Bob M.

    Stopped in for lunch and was greeted and seated promptly. Restaurant is large with plenty of comfortable seating. Our drink order was taken and the great thing is they have Hosmer birch beer on tap so you can get refills! We ordered a half order of garlic mozzarella bread, chicken quesadilla, and half a Genoa salami grinder. The garlic bread came pretty quickly and was nice and piping hot. Plenty of cheeses was place on top of the bread which had 8 sections to it. There were plenty of visible pieces of garlic as well and the bread had plenty of butter on it. Very tasty! The chicken quesadilla normally is done with Buffalo chicken but in this case regular chicken was requested. The chicken was very moist and there was plenty of cheese. This is an appetizer but it was huge enough that it qualified as a meal. Not sure the picture re does it justice for his large it was. The grinder came with plenty of salami, cheese, lettuce, and sweet pepper strips. It was served open face after having been warmed up in the oven. The bread was fresh and soft making the sandwich very enjoyable. Service was outstanding with our server having a great sense of humor and personality. All in all a good experience and definitely there will be future visits to the establishment.

    Willington Pizza Oktoberfestr (brewed by Thomas Hooker Brewery)
    Matthew L.

    Willington Pizza House is a pizzeria that opened in Willington, Connecticut in 1978. It was founded by Jeff Kelly. When it first opened, the restaurant only had four tables and was essentially a one-man operation. By 1981, it outgrew its location and moved to its current one. The pizzeria can now fit well over 200 people. In 1998, a second location (Willington Pizza Too) was opened at 11 Phelps Way with a slightly different menu. Although Connecticut is well-known for thin-crust New Haven-style "apizza", Willington Pizza House serves a thicker crust pie with much more unusual toppings. Their most well-known pie is the 'Red Potato Pizza': a plain crust pizza with sour cream, sliced red potatoes, sharp cheddar cheese, chives, and your choice of bacon, broccoli or both. Willington Pizza House is more of a sit-down pizzeria while Willington Pizza Too is more of a pub-style restaurant known for their chicken wings. My wife and I have visited Willington Pizza House several times over the years. My wife turned me onto them because she is a UConn alumnus. The pizzeria is a short distance from the campus and it's a popular dining destination for UConn students. On our most recent visit, we brought our son along for his first time. We ordered a large Red Potato Pie as well as a large Shrimp Scampi Pie (white pizza with garlic, diced tomatoes, capers, shrimp and mozzarella). The pies were excellent as usual, and our son liked them too. Willington Pizza House also has an excellent craft beer selection. I ordered the Willington Pizza Oktoberfest: a Märzen that's brewed exclusively for the pizzeria by Thomas Hooker Brewery in Bloomfield. The beer was a good pairing with the pizza. We had a great time at Willington Pizza House and will continue to eat their pizza for years to come.

I ordered one with pepperoni, sausage and fresh peppers as opposed to roasted ones (which is an option) for pickup. The restaurant was nice. If you're a Prince (the musician, not the one stripped of his title -- too soon?) fan you may love the purple hues. The crust was good chewy. I loved the pepperoni. They cupped and crisped, but in a slightly different visual way than many cup and crisp pepperoni. Very cool. Tasted great too. The fresh peppers ended up being red rather than green. This is a personal preference, but I prefer green. I like the flavor of the green juice better on a pizza. I also think the green color pops better since the sauce and pepperoni are both red. I liked the pizza, but I didn't love it. I couldn't figure out why at first. I think the primary reason was the sausage. It wasn't bad. I just didn't connect with the flavor. And also I prefer larger pieces, than the smaller crumbles Camille's used. If I had this pizza without the sausage, I would have liked it better. I do have a favorable impression of Camille's though. I would definitely return. 4.25 Stars

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.
