Leftovers zzza.  New Haven style. Dope.
Seth F.

Excellent old school family local vibe in Orange, west of New Haven, off 95 easy to get to. Was great for a fast dinner driving from Boston to the city. I had a clam casino pizza and my son had....i have no clue (pepperoni pizza and a Caesar) don't remember. Great value. Love the servers - very experienced! But he was happy. Recommend.

Chicken scarpiello

Small but very cozy joint in a strip mall that you've probably driven past 100x. Well it's time to stop in! The service is so friendly and accommodating. They told us over and over ANYTHING CAN BE MODIFIED which is so refreshing. From the very delicious rosemary garlic focaccia in the bread basket to the thin crust pizza to the delectable entrees - there were no misses here. The pasta was some of the best we have had in Connecticut. Just don't hesitate. Pop in and thank me later!

Cosmo and a shared portion of carbonara
Maria K.

This was a gem! We were in town for a family wedding and got in the day before. After an agonizing day in traffic we searched for options and decided on Andini's. It was a Friday night but we didn't have to wait long for a table. Most of our party got pizzas which were gorgeous but my daughter and I decided to share the carbonara. They even offered to bring it out in separate dishes. The half portion in my picture was more than sufficient and I even had leftovers to warm up the next day. The cosmo was exactly what we needed to unwind and my hats off to the lady tending bar because I was feeling great in no time. Too bad our trip was short but I highly recommend you give this place a try if you're ever in town.

Cajun fettuccine

I was leaving work and was surprised to learn I had a flat tire! After getting a donut I headed to Costco tire center and eventually worked up an appetite and thought I deserved a glass of wine! I yelped the area and found Andini's! I walked in and it was almost every table was taken and people were at the bar! I was still able to snag a seat. I ordered the cajun fettuccini which was delicious and huge leaving me with a ton of leftovers! Also, treat yourself to their bread!! It was the freshest, softest pillowy bread that they bake in-house! I enjoyed a delicious espresso martini that was made perfectly! The bartender was very friendly, personable and awesome! I will definitely be back!

Came here with family for Father's day dinner. Cute little Italian restaurant. The service was great and so was the food. I ordered the chicken marsala which came with mashed potatoes and veggies. It was so flavorful. We had a great time and will definitely be back to try other dishes.

A little known secret on the Boston Post Rd. Great dinners as well as pizza at a very resonable price.

Do they offer gluten free pizza? Love this place as I know they have other GF options, but unsure of pizza.

Yes, we do offer gluten free pizza. It comes in a small personal size. Just call a day or so before your visit to make sure that we have it on hand.

With that being said, I ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza and a spicy shrimp pizza. First off, the sausage and pepperoni pizza was immaculate. To explain, the crust was homemade and crispy with great flavor. Likewise, the pepperoni was delicious and helped elevate the flavor. Also, the cheese was perfect with just the right amount of grease. Finally, the sauce had a savory tomato flavor which was excellent. I just wish they put more on the pizza. In similar fashion, the spicy shrimp pizza was very good as well. To breakdown, the shrimp tasted fresh and had great flavor. My only complaint was that the pizza was a little too spicy for my taste. I still enjoyed it though. To put it concisely, Zuppardi's Apizza has some of the best pizza I've ever had in my life.

8 Thousand Pizza is a pizzeria and pour-your-own taproom that opened in Milford, Connecticut in…read moreNovember 2023. It was founded by restaurateurs Skye Kwok and Tommy Nguyen. Kwok has more than 20 years experience in the hospitality industry. Some of the other restaurants he has opened include Sweet Basil in Fairfield, Pink Sumo Sushi & Sake Cafe in Westport, and Eat Noodle in Bridgeport. Kwok and Nguyen's latest venture opened at the Connecticut Post Mall in a restaurant space that was previously home to Cast Iron Chef Kitchen & Bar, which specialized in tavern-style pizzas cooked in a cast-iron skillet. 8 Thousand Pizza offers this same style of pizza, but what sets them apart from the previous pizzeria is that they also offer self-pouring technology, which became legalized in Connecticut in 2021. The food menu features two dozen tavern-style pizzas as well as burgers, wings, fries, salads and soups. Through the use of a supplied electronic bracelet, customers can self-pour their own beverage from a selection of 28 craft beer taps and 6 wine taps. There's a two-pint or 32-ounce limit for the self-pours. I recently visited 8 Thousand Pizza for dinner. I had previously visited the space when it was Cast Iron Chef Kitchen & Bar and was sad to hear that they moved. However, this new business concept of a tavern-style pizzeria with self-pouring taps sounded very interesting to me. This was actually my first visit to a self-pouring taproom, as these types of establishments only just began opening in the state in the last few years. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Grandma's Tomato Pizza" (fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, roasted garlic, tomatoes and EVOO) and the "Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza" (tomato sauce, pepperoni, hot honey sauce and mozzarella cheese). The latter happens to be 8 Thousand's signature pizza. Both pizzas had crust so thin that it's almost cracker like; they didn't flop at all. They were super crispy with excellent sauce and toppings. I honestly can't decide which one I liked better; they were both very good. During my visit, I enjoyed some self-pours of Grey Sail Brewing's "Captain's Daughter" (Double New England IPA) and New Park Brewing's "Cloudscape" (American IPA). Delicious pizza with craft beer is always an excellent pairing! I had a really nice experience at 8 Thousand Pizza and I hope to return with my family.

Service was nice and attentive. But you have to go up to the counter to order. Many of the betas were out or empty. I did like that.

Having had Sally's Apizza on my bucket list for what feels like forever, I was beyond excited to…read morefinally cross it off. Having already tried Frank Pepe's up the street, this was stop number two on my quest through New Haven's legendary "Big Three." ​We arrived around 8:00 PM on a Wednesday evening on our drive back to RI from Pennsylvania, hoping the line wouldn't be too bad, knowing they closed at 9:00 PM. Luckily, there were only about a dozen people ahead of us, and we were seated by 8:30 PM. The place only has about 15 to 20 tables inside, but they do a fantastic job turning them over, and the host was super friendly and professional right from the start. ​The dining room has that perfect old-school feel - clean, warm, and completely inviting. Our server, Jessica V., was exceptional. Even though it was the end of what was likely a long shift, she was cheerful, super friendly, and attentive. My partner, feeling dehydrated after our long drive, requested a pitcher of water, and Jessica was happy to bring one out to her. ​We ordered a Large Mozzarella & Tomato Sauce Pie, and it was as close to pizza perfection as you can get. You could tell right away that they use top-quality ingredients. The vibrant sauce and mozzarella balanced each other out beautifully on a nicely charred, coal-fired crust. We completely devoured the entire thing, and it easily earned a spot in the top three pizzas I've ever had in my life. To go with the pie, I had a Two Roads "Two Juicy Zero" non-alcoholic beer, which was super refreshing and ideal since we still had a two-hour drive ahead of us. ​In my humble opinion, I give a very slight edge to Sally's over Pepe's, though I'd probably need to try them side by side to make a final call. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we loved every minute of it. A huge thank you to Jessica and the Sally's team! We will definitely be back the next time we're passing through!

One convenient thing about ordering to go is that there's a side door right by the parking lot, so you can order without having to go inside the restaurant. The pizza itself was good and definitely above average, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for us. The crust was very floppy, and the pizza was extremely greasy. The thin cardboard takeout box didn't help either as the oil soaked straight through, making the whole thing pretty messy to handle. Overall, it's a solid pizza, but nothing that really stood out to us as special or unique. Maybe worth trying if you're exploring New Haven pizza, but personally, I wouldn't wait 25 minutes for it again as we have many better options on nyc.

The Diavolina was good, but I think some more spicy salami or maybe an additional spicy component would have been a good addition to the pizza. It needed just a little bit more on the flavor side. But still everything here is high quality and I would recommend! Service was excellent. We were immediately seated and had the option to sit inside or outside. I first sat inside, then we moved to a larger table outside. What I really appreciated as a new mom, was their openness and flexibility for coming in with a stroller. I was nervous to be a burden to the restaurant, but they were super accommodating. Thank you On room for improvement, I think on a hot day, having the inside space being much much cooler, than the outdoor seating (especially for newborns/really young kids/elderly) would be beneficial. Yesterday it was cool inside to start (and remember I chose to move outside), but they started to leave the front door open to allow for easy movement of staff and guests between inside and outside, which made the indoor space get warmer over time. And I totally get that for the ease of movement for staff/guests, but maybe consider keeping it super cool on the inside, so that kiddos/elderly have a cool space on a really hot day to not overheat. The vibe here is great. Chill, warm and light! Come with family and/or friends and enjoy!
