You just wait outside, and once you are close to the door, one of the staff will see how many people are in your party and they give you a table number. Once seated they will come and take your order. We ordered the small pie sampler (comes out to about $50 if you order speciality pies): clam pie, a marinara pie with mozzarella, and the Calabrese. All of them were very good, but that Calabrese was excellent, especially if you like a little spice. Our server was kind, efficient, and the food came out in about 20 minutes.

We waited in line 20-30 minutes, but it flew by as we chatted away. Once we were seated, service was quick and friendly. The menu isn't super extensive in terms of appetizers (they have two salads and a burrata); the main attraction is pizza! So pizza it was. All pizzas are offered in a small (12''), medium, and large size. I ordered a small Calabrese and it was plenty. The pie was slightly bigger than 12'' and at first I thought I'd eat it all because it's thin crust. Negative. I ate half of it and was stuffed. My pizza had pieces of flat sausage, (little) pepperoni, and Calabrian peppers, which were definitely on the spicy side. As for the toppings, I appreciated that they didn't skimp out on them, which was the same for my other friends' own pies. Frank Pepe has two locations next to each other. One is their original building, which is usually for Yale-out only, though they have limited seating (you have to be ushered in from the line that forms at the main building). One nice thing about Frank Pepe is they have two parking lots, which is nice since there's not a ton of street parking. Overall, super glad we came here. I'd visit again!!

If your goal is to starve in public, this is the place for you…read more We went on a Sunday afternoon. Three people in the entire restaurant. After 45 minutes, we still had zero food, zero appetizers, zero signs of life. A guy walked in 10 minutes after us, ordered takeout, sat down, waited, and LEFT WITH HIS FOOD before we even made eye contact with hummus. Let's talk about what we ordered. Appetizers: hummus (open container plate) and falafel (drop in oil wait 5 minutes). Entrées: a Greek salad (apparently they had to grow the lettuce from seed and milk the cow for feta) and a shawarma wrap--ALREADY COOKED, spinning on a spit, literally designed to be sliced and wrapped. Somehow, this was an impossible task. After 45 minutes of absolutely nothing, we left. Maybe the food showed up later. Maybe it's still "almost ready." Either way, we will never, ever be back. Come hungry. Leave angry. Or just don't come at all.

The sugar from the San Marzano tomatoes and the nutty aroma of the prosciutto di parma combined perfectly after baking to create a warm caramel aroma. The fresh, smooth olive oil base creates a rich, syrupy texture. The basil aroma emerged in the aftertaste, adding layers to the rich, creamy cheese. The cornicione was crispy but not dry, and the crust was very chewy. Tartufella: Relatively less impressive. The black truffle aroma wasn't strong; the main flavors were the savory, sweet, and meaty notes of the Italian sausage.

Although, they also have heroes, wings, fries, calzones, and an amazing dessert menu. I suggest the churro fried dough sticks, which are served with a frosting dipping sauce. Service was great, and there is plenty of seating inside, and a few arcade/claw machines.

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.
