The pizza was very good albeit too thin and overly crispy with little cell structure. The sauce was fantastic- one of the best pizza sauces I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. The bacon topping was plentiful and crispy. Where this king went wrong, in my opinion, was the amount of cheese that overwhelms a thin crust and generous slathering of sauce. I'd def order again but I'd be sure to request light cheese. A great pie, not a good pie, has the perfect ratio of crust to sauce to cheese to toppings. Oh so close. This pizza was better than the ones I've had at Fuoco (one of the other kings). The kings can take down their bravado and just keep making good pies. Also, the pizza was delivered really hot which was a nice surprise for pizza delivery.

Been everywhere for pizza, all the greats. This place and Roseland are tied atop my list…read more In fact, Little Rendezvous by a slice. As authentic as it gets. The guy has been making pizza since he was 15, there, and their oven is 120 years old. They are meticulous. Every single pie is the same quality. The crust is really unique. If you enjoy thin crust pizza, you have to order it here. Thin, crispy. Their house pie--sausage, mushrooms and peppers--is outstanding. Never overly wet or greasy, slices are uniform. Just made by the best of the best, in the best oven. Prices are remarkably affordable. Despite their reputation they stay the same. Will always feel like a family-run, neighborhood gem. Just a great place. Service is top-notch. Friendly, on-time, good guys. Ambiance is what you'd expect. Great vibes. Tiny place. Old-fashioned. If you can get a table, it's clean and an enjoyable spot. You can also take out, and find a place close by to park or a bench.

I'm going to skip past all my typical narrative about the restaurant ambiance, this is pizza, and…read morethe pizza is amazing!!! If you like New Haven style pizza, which is arguably the 'esemplare' of all pizza, then visiting The Little Rendezvous is a MUST visit if you live within 90-min. Plan a trip to visit some store you want to go to, a beach visit or whatever, just find a way to circle The Little Rendezvous into the trip! The crust is thin with a crackery-crunch, the sauce is at a another level and the mozz and roni are high-quality deliciousness! Rendezvous stands tall with any of the well known top-3 pizza joints in New Haven. Dave's score of 9.1 (if you are unaware of the reference, then pizza isn't your thing) is right on point, and I'd go as far as scoring it slightly higher at a 9.2 based on my visit. The building is something out of folklore. The building is all of about 20ft. wide, and when you enter, it is immediate, Steve (owner/chef) is all about the pizza. To be clear, most will consider Rendezvous to be take-out only. There is zero decor, less signs made with cardboard and sharpie notifying you that wait times of hours are real..... so be sure to call ahead. You walk past the most basic seating area of 3-4 small tables with bare walls, and then proceed to walk down an oddly long and narrow sloping hallway which leads you to the service counter/kitchen which houses the 130-year old oven! It's honestly something you could only imagine out of a movie...... the hole in the wall that is creating high-quality, delicious pizzas! Why or how you ask? The answer is simple, Steve! The guy clearly has a passion for making pizza and has dedicated his life to doing so. I met the 'man-the myth-the legend' on my visit, and he kindly even took the time to chat with me. Bucket-list item checked off! Overall score = 5.0!!!

We drove to New Haven and were eating our pizza in less time at one of the more popular/well-known places. Seating is almost a waste of time. Maybe there's enough seating for 25 people?! You need to get to know the people next to you because you're basically at the same table. Prices are shockingly high for what you get. With the sheer amount of pizza-places within a 2-10 mile radius of Fuoco - you're better off giving another establishment a try. Try Half-Moon in Wallingford. The pizza is delicious, less of a wait time and there's actually room to eat and relax.

Inferno has quickly become one of our favorite takeout pizza spots! This is honestly some of the…read morebest takeout pizza we've had. The crust is fantastic--thin and crispy with just the right amount of char, but still chewy and flavorful. The toppings are fresh and generous, and the pizza has arrived hot and perfectly cooked every time. We loved it so much after our first order that we've already been back, and Inferno has officially earned a spot in our regular pizza rotation. Great crust, great flavor, consistently delicious. Highly recommend!

Inferno Apizza is a New Haven-style pizzeria that opened in North Haven, Connecticut in July 2017…read more It was founded by Christopher Beauton, who has over 50 years of pizza-making experience. More recently Beauton was connected with the New Haven-based "Big Green Truck Pizza": a fleet of green mobile wood-fired pizza oven trucks that was founded in 2003. He joined that operation in 2009 and worked as one of the pizza chefs as well as an operations manager. In 2017, Beaumont decided to open his own brick & mortar pizzeria at the Home Depot Plaza in North Haven. He had a Mugnaini Wood-Fired Pizza Oven imported all the way from Tuscany, Italy and installed at his new pizzeria. Inferno Apizza was met with much success and even opened a mobile pizza truck spin-off business dubbed "Rolling Inferno". In May 2024, Inferno Apizza closed their North Haven location. At this point, Beauton semi-retired but passed the torch to his 20-year-old grandson Michael Masto. The young pizzaiolo learned well from his grandfather and had been making pizza for a number of years. In October 2024, Masto reopened Inferno Apizza in Wallingford, with Beauton helping out as a "business consultant". In addition to New Haven-style thin crust pizza, Inferno also makes subs, salads and various appetizers such as wings and stuffed breads. My family and I have ordered from Inferno Apizza several times since they opened, and we have never had a bad experience. The crust is always crisp with just the right amount of char around the edges. I recently ordered take-out from them: a large "White Pie with Broccoli & Extra Garlic" and a small "Plain Mozzarella". This was actually my first time ordering from them since they relocated to Wallingford. When I arrived, I took note of the new location. It's much smaller than their old North Haven location; more of a take-out pizzeria now as opposed to a large sit-down pizzeria. Also gone is the large wood-fired oven (the pizza trucks, however, still use wood fire). Inferno now uses conventional gas ovens. Could they still get that crispy, charred crust with these? When I arrived at home, we dug into the pizzas and all of our worries were set aside. It may be a new location, it may be different ovens, but it's still the same excellent-tasting pizza! We continue to give Inferno Apizza our seal of approval!

Wlfd is a tough place for pizza joints because we have so many good ones, but Amore sets its aside. First and foremost their pizza is excellent. Thin, but not very thin, crust pizza with good sauce, good crust, and lots of options. I've never dined in but I order a lot. They are always very pleasant on the phone. They are open Lateish and are always accommodating even having the delivery boy 'drop one off on his way home.' They have Foxon park soda - local east haven company, good antipasti with colorful lettuce (not totally iceberg), stuffed cherry peppers, and other yummy fixings inside. To top it off they are always open! They deliver through the craziest storms. I once called and he said of course were open and well deliver provided your road is plowed. We were snowed in on an unplowed road (2013 winter with like 2 feet new snow on the road) , but they met us on the nearest plowed road right during the thick of it. You ringa, we ringa is their fantastic motto. Favorite pizza topped with optimal service and very fair prices! read more

Being new to Wallingford I had to find a good pizza delivery place. Amore quickly became the only restaurant I use for delivery. The variety of toppings has made each delivery very exciting. I have never even heard of mashed potato pizza but was pleasantly surprised after my son convinced me to order it. My new favorite is the broccoli rabe topping. They even have delicious wings. read more

But the last 3 times in a month the pizza has been so salty we just can't order again. The time before tonight they missed our order even until I showed up, but those mistakes are forgivable. We loved their wings too, but only one time when I reminded them did they remember blue cheese. Tonight I specifically asked them to make sure we got blue cheese since it was for delivery, I even said we don't even need celery etc. (I don't think they provide it anyway) Once again we got no blue cheese and it was delivered. The wings were bad the last time -- the only time they weren't good -- crispy tonight now at least but I'm sorry, paying over $21 for 15 wings without blue cheese, when I've repeatedly reminded them not to forget, it ruins it. Especially with oversalty pizza 3rd time in a row? It's depressing wasting over $50 more than once... And I called them directly. And it sucks but the pizza used to be so great it got better the next day, the last 3 times it's been so salty. My husband, 16 yr old son, and his friend (and I) ate some because we were starving. I called to let them know this time but they were closed. Sorry it's been this way but I had to let them know and hope they correct it. Can't see ordering again myself though
