a hand holding a slice of pizza
Joe C.

Bella Maria is a small neighborhood pizza joint. It's location is off the beaten path and other than those who live directly nearby I bet very few outsiders know about it. However it's not worth hanging out at because the inside is tiny with just a few small tables. It's mostly a take-out business. Their pizza is OK. It's got a very high congealing factor. What I mean by congealing factor is a pizza's ability to congeal in a short amount of time. And boy did my pizza congeal. The cheese had solidified even before I opened the box. That's never a good sign for things to come. The sauce was too sweet and the crust could have been a little bit more charred and crunchy. Would I return again? Probably not. Especially with Grand Apizza being just a short drive away. Grand Apizza is probably my fave pizza place in all of Clinton.

Solid local pizza, nothing mind blowing but I have been there twice, got a Chicken Parm that I really liked, and a good pizza.

Not the best experience. My partners pastrami looked like shoe leather and was just as dry. Will not order ever from there again.

The dressing was tangy and good, and the chicken tasted great (and there was a lot)!

What brings me to find the time to complain about a darn pizza!?!…read moreClinton location... We walked in and order a pizza to-go and asked to sit down and have a beer as we waited. Only two tables had two people at each and then the two of us. While seated, I smelt burnt pizza and I said (out loud) "I hope that's not my pizza". I heard someone behind the counter chuckle, although, couldn't see the counter. I have no freakin' idea why I didn't check the pie before I left, but my friends & I probably have eaten a thousand+ dollars worth of pizza at this place as we're from the area. My big mistake was not checking the pie, especially after I smelled one burning, but mine came out quite a while after that. I put it in the back of the vehicle and drove it to a friends house. Opened it up and it was burnt, and it was strange, because it wasn't burnt evenly. I didn't even ask for it crispy like I normally do. I called Grand and our waitress answered. I explained the issue and the first thing she said was "did you eat it", I said "no". she gave me her cell number to send pictures of the burnt pie. I sent them to her and did not get a reply. Half hour went by, so I texted her "sooooo". No reply. I told my husband to swing by Grand because I was headed out of town the very next morning. He didn't have the chance. So while out of town, I called two weeks later and said "Hey, I never heard back from you about the burnt pizza". The first person handed the phone to another person that said "We can't help you when it was 2 weeks ago". I said "Well, I texted the person that waited on us and I did not hear a reply. Whose number is 860.....?" She said she had to check. Next person to pick up the phone tells me that the manager remembers the pictures and said that it wasn't "THAT" burnt! Lololol. Seriously, whats a large pizza cost to make with some veggies and 1/2 sausage? Let me tell you, far less than what we pay for one. Anyway, Sal's & Alforno and Saybrook Pizza in Old Saybrook are so consistently better and much friendlier. But, I already passed those before I thought to bring a pizza to my friends. Guess I'm SOL

This is the second time ordering from Grand Apizza and I can't be disappointed. Prices are average,…read morethe pizza is very good and delivery is superb. We ordered five large pizzas; two cheese, a bacon, a pepperoni and the special cheese, buffalo chicken. We placed our party order two days ahead of the event for a specific time. Grand Apizza was able to accommodate the time and the delivery for a group of 15 people. The transaction was smooth and communication was great. Pizza was still hot and fresh! Cash only for the event we had, so no prepay for such a large order. We've used us for two family parties at Hammonassett State Beach. Last year we were able to get deliveries to West Beach. However, this year they didn't go past the gate. Luckily, we were able to get back in because the beach wasn't at capacity.
