    Fridge packed with Foxon Park soda

    In CT, we are so lucky to be blessed with a million great pizza options- Brickside Pizza is among them in this area for sure! Great little takeout spot with big flavors! We got the Sunday Dinner with meatballs, ricotta and sauce. We also tried the prosciutto arugula pie as well! They are stocked with plenty of fox on park sodas as well to grab on the way out!

    If you're looking for quick and delicious this is your pizza spot! It is take out only but that doesn't take away from the taste of the delicious pies. There are so many options of toppings to choose from. I think the Brickside pie is one of my favorites and the white broccoli!

    By Laura Williams You've heard us throw the words "slightly charred" and "chewy" out there when describing a pizza's appeal. Well, we've found another pie that fits the bill. Brickside Pizza opened in late summer in the Ivoryton village. They had us at the header of the menu where they declare, "Hand Crafted, wood fired pizza baked well done. Charring is to be expected.". Despite the effects of a steamy September afternoon and a bazillion degree brick oven, co-owners Paul Capezzone and Will Nuss were welcoming and informative. Veterans of various shoreline restaurant biz and pizza joints, the pair imported a brick oven from Italy and combined their experience to create this little gem of a shop. The rest of the interior consists soley of a pickup counter, a cord of wood and a fridge full of Foxon Park sodas. Although the menu offers both standard and a handful of curious toppings like mashed potato and shrimp scampi, I figured if they can get the Margherita and the White Clam right, then I can trust these guys. As soon as they took the bubbling White Clam masterpiece out of the blazing oven, I knew it was a winner. Freshly shucked, sweet clams are tossed atop a thin crust with garlic, olive oil, oregano, Pecorino Romano, then cooked to caramelized perfection. This was the best clam pizza I've had this side of New Haven. The Margherita was a close second. Yummy tomato sauce with a perfect punch of fresh flavor, basil ribbons, Mozzarella, more Pecorino, garlic and olive oil. This place is strictly take-out. No seating. Take your picnic to the gazebo or the beautiful town green just across the street for an idyllic dinner. Call in your order and they'll give you an exact time to pick up. Open at 4pm. (860) 767-2555

    I don't know which New Haven pizza you Yelpers are comparing this pizza to but perhaps your understanding of it isn't exactly the same as mine. First off, having a wood oven does NOT make it New Haven style pizza. I can't think of one famous New Haven joint that uses a wood oven. Not one. Secondly, the type of pizza made here is more like artisan style pizza. It's more like the associazione verace pizza napoletana certified pizza (for those that know what that is). So that means it's not greasy, oily, soupy, or have lots of stringy mozzarella (all things I love by the way). Yes, they do char the crust a little bit (not a lot) but that by itself hardly makes it New Haven style. Come to think of it, this pizza is more like Otto's pizza in Chester. So perhaps it should be called Chester pizza. Anyway, now that I got that off my chest. Yes, I like their pizza. It's not bad. I don't think it's worth the high price though and it could use a few improvements in my opinion. It could use some more sauce and more olive oil, particularly on the outer crust (outer crust is way too barren). It could use some more cheese too and also cut back on the salt. Yes New Haven pizza is very salty, but these guys are piling it on by the truckload in their sauce. If that's not salt then it's some other type of seasoning I can't recognize. By the way, I noticed they get some of their ingredients from Napoli Foods of Cheshire. The dead give-a-way is the Napoli logo printed on the underside of the box. I'm usually not a fan of Napoli foods. However they're like an Italian mob boss that rules southern Connecticut with an iron fist. It's hard to find a pizza joint that doesn't have their influence in one way or another. Unfortunately, the end result is that pizza from these joints ends up all tasting the same. There's no table seating. No problem there. This business has take-out only.

    Opening day today. Stopped in and was their 3rd customer. I opted for the meat. A very solid pizza, wood fired oven so it's the New Haven style crust. A very welcome alternative to the greasy or sweet crust pizzas we have in town All the best of luck boys.

    The mashed potato pizza is our favorite- call early since they get really busy on the weekends. No place to eat inside. All takeout .

    WOW!!!! Holy moly this place was amazing from start to finish. We made a last minute decision to…read moretry out Grano Arso Saturday and ordered the tasting menu (kind of a crazy decision financially when not celebrating anything but you only live once right?). Well, everything was fantastic especially the pastas. They really know what they're doing with their daily fresh (insanely light) pasta and sauce. We were literally scraping the bowl with our spoons to get the lasts bites of both the ravioli and tagliatelle - absolutely DELICIOUS. Outside of pastas everything else was flavorful and tasty; especially that braised short rib! Truly an unforgettable and incredibly crave-able meal + the service and drinks on top of it all made it even better. I've wanted to go for years since it's constantly all over popular foodie accounts and even then nothing prepared me for how delicious this meal was. I can honestly say in the 6 years that I've lived in CT some of these dishes were the best I've EVER had in the state and 1000% the best texture pasta I've experienced overall. Whether this be a random dinner decision or a place to celebrate something special book a reservation ASAP! You will not regret it!!

Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the specials. They start off with the bread service, a nice brown bread with homemade butter. Nothing is better than real butter. We had a stuffed agnolotti pasta. It was so good. The bolognese was solid as well. The roasted carrots were awesome with the green crema. Definitely skip the scallops it was like swallowing a spoonful of salt. Lastly the grilled chicken with pasta underneath was moist but not memorable. the dessert was the star!!!! the chocolate Nutella cake with ice cream YUM. Since the menu is rotating, i would definitely return to try some new things.

    It's a Friday night and we're meeting up with some friends! One of them suggested Marker 37 for a…read morevariety of reasons and today, we're going to find out why! Here's how things went for me during my visit. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the Connecticut River in Chester, CT connected to its own marina is this gem. Reservations are recommended especially in the summertime since THIS is the place where you wanna be. We were here in early April so things hadn't quite picked up, but at least the snow was gone and we didn't need to wear super heavy coats. The parking lot is massive so if it's busy you'll be walking for a minute before you get to the door. But once inside it's pretty modern, chill and relaxed. The decor isn't over-the-top. Everything is straight-edged and just... almost minimalistic. However, we sat in the patio area that was certainly heated so we could see the view of the water while the sun set. It was a wide-open setting and I'm very glad the restaurant didn't smash too many tables and chairs in there. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but I don't remember having any issues throughout dinner. It was fairly slow so I didn't expect any hold-ups. Food/Drinks: I started off with an old-fashioned which was fine. Nothing crazy. Next up was a New England clam chowder which is perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Textures were good and so were the seasonings. Spot-on. For dinner I went with their Prime Rib! It came out perfectly medium-rare with a side of fingerling potatoes, grilled squash, au jus and horseradish sauce. It was good. Just... kinda not exciting. :-/ Maybe I should've gone the seafood route since we were on the water. But no matter. Value: Not too crazy here. It's a nice restaurant, but prices aren't out of control. You can totally come here to chill, have a drink and an app or a full-on family dinner and not be upset at the final bill. In conclusion I liked it here, just not enough to want to drive all the way out here again. Would I come back? Sure, if I were invited by friends and stuff, but I highly encourage you reading this to pay this place a visit and enjoy the views! Thank you for reading.

    Second time here to see if the first time was representative. Excellent short rib grilled cheese…read more Calamari is fresh and definitely not from Sysco! Service was prompt and personable. And the location is outstanding. Definitely on our short list of places to revisit.
