Hot, tasty cheese over sweet, chunky sauce, In Bristol's realm of pizza, this pie is the boss. When you open your mouth and in food you toss, Your overwhelmed taste buds will be at a loss. Ordered a couple large cheese pizzas to bring to Firefly Hollow on a Friday night. Because we ordered two large, they gave us $6 off and the total bill only came to $25. A great deal for a whole lot of food. This is a small, simple take-out joint. I liked how the young cashier opened the boxes to show us the pizzas before sealing them up. The pizza was absolutely delicious. read more

Just have to reiterate, this is the best f'n pizza around. Every time. Consistency is unreal. You will not ever get a bad pizza from this place, they're all amazing. Hats off Chunkys! read more

When I received my pizza it was cold and they refused to deliver. I didn't not receive an apology when I picked my pizza. Terrible service

Great pizza and good service. Speedy and efficient when placing orders. Go there; you won't be sorry.

Chunky Tomato is a nice little pizza place in Bristol, standing out in a town full of the standard Greek-style joints that all seem to blur together (no offense to any particular one of those places, by the way). So far I've had their pepperoni and buffalo chicken pizzas, and I can safely say their pepperoni is the best I can remember eating from a place in Bristol. I'm personally a fan of the tiny pepperonis that tend to curl up when cooking over the larger, thinner slices most pizza places use. Another plus for me is their style of buffalo chicken, mainly for what they DON'T use - marinara sauce. I some places will essentially make a regular pizza topped with pieces of cut-up buffalo chicken, and those always taste "off" to me. Luckily, chunky tomato uses hot sauce and blue cheese as their sauce base, and it produces a much better taste (at least for me). read more

This place kills it. The sandwiches are delicious, fresh and huge. The pizzas can't be beat and are really well priced. The eggplant is so fresh and the meats are all full of flavor not grease. Really a take out spot but it's so good it's worth it, great lunch deals too. read more

So I ordered take out...walked inside and didn't have high expectations. Wasn't a fancy place at all. Ordered the spinach, eggplant, sausage, ricotta personal size and the clam, white, add tomatoes. I think they forgot my sausage on the first but it really didn't matter. This was some of the best pizza I've ever had. Brick oven, plenty of topping and great ingredients. Crust was awesome....cooked just right. If I could give six stars I would've. This place is right around the corner from where I live and I feel dumb for never stopping here before. I recommend this spot to everyone. read more

Chunky Tomato - Pizza Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Great pizza and good people. Can't go wrong here. Definitely best pizza in Bristol (although a worthy competitor in Joey Garlic's just down the road in Farmington) but I don't know about in CT like one reviewer wrote. There is some REALLY good pizza in CT! Guess you'll just have to try for yourself and decide. Oh yeah, this place is pretty much just take out. I think they have one small table. read more

Love the speediness and the consistent quality of each pie! We ordered a small goat for two of us this weekend. I was really happy at how good this pie was and the price was excellent. We also got a chop salad and cannoli to complete our dinner. The salad was a decent size that both of us split and had left overs. To complete our fabulous Friday pizza night, we enjoyed some really fresh cannolis! read more

Date of service: Oct 30, 2014 Meal: Dinner, dine in All Ratings out of 10: Quality of food: 8 Food to Spend Value: 8 Quality of Service: 8 Overall Rating: 8 I travel to Central Connecticut fairly frequently for work, and I generally try and make the drive down to New Haven from Southington at least once for New Haven style pizza. On this particular trip it was late and my coworker and I were not up for driving down, so we decided to explore Yelp for alternative closer options since we were still in the mood for pizza. Chunky Tomato popped up with top notch reviews, and since it was also billed as Italian style, we decided to check it out. We almost missed it when driving, as it is a fairly unobtrusive storefront in a sleepy small strip. The place is obviously geared more toward take out, but since there was one table, we decided to eat in. Thursday nights are personal pizza night, meaning the personal size is discounted. We ordered 3 to get a range of flavors: Meat Lover, White Clam, and the Spinach, Eggplant & Ricotta. Each pizza was fantastic and full of flavor, and the spread across the 3 was different enough that there were lots of flavors to experience. The Meat Lover was hearty and a great all meat option. The White Clam's flavor was delicious and, even more importantly, not fishy, which ironically enough is a problem I have had with white clam pizzas at some of the New Haven style places. Our favorite, however, was the Sausage Eggplant & Ricotta. The melding of flavor and texture on this pie was delightful and much better than I expected. The pies here are true Italian style, the ingredients are top notch, and the preparation is fantastic. I don't think you can go wrong here on a pizza, and I hear their sandwiches are great too! They even do pizza by the slice, so I am envisioning picking up lunch here at some point in the future when I am back in town. The owner was super personable and even offered us a free t shirt (granted kids size) if we ate all the pizza we ordered. We of course couldn't bend to that challenge, and we not only ate all the pizza but even got some mini pumpkin cannolis which were also quite tasty. The prices are very good for what you get, and of course the food as already mentioned is fantastic. As I mentioned earlier, the place is tiny and is mostly suited for takeout, which they apparently do a ton of. One of the most fun aspects of sitting and eating in the restaurant was seeing and conversing with all the local regulars who came in to pick up their To Go orders (and they thought it was cool that the restaurant had some out of town visitors from Seattle!). Chunky Tomato is truly a local Bristol pizza place, and when I am back in town I will definitely be making a return visit! read more

OMG you can't go wrong going here. I do LOVE their pizza, however, frequently when I am only buying a meal for myself, I get the steak sandwich!!! their rolls are PERFECTION and this is REAL STEAK, not that chopped up crap!!! Steak, caramelized onions, Provolone, and a little salt & pepper and it is perfect. It does not even need mayo or ANY kind of dressing of any kind. the pizza is wonderful, and you have to try their Pizza Margarita, especially in the summer months with local, sweet tomatoes and the fresh basil. PERFECTION!!! Try the cannolis too!! EVERYTHING is excellent and fresh! Ohhhhh how their business would increase if they offered delivery. That is the ONE INGREDIENT that it's missing. read more

We ordered take out from here last. We were pleasantly surprised. The pizza was tasty and fresh. The sauce does live up to its name, chunky, which I really enjoyed. We also ordered the Chicken Parmesan dinner. There was a plethora if pasta but not enough sauce to cover. The chicken was tasty and perfectly cooked. The ratio of sauce to cheese and chicken here was spot on. My only comment would be there was way too much pasta to the amount of chicken you get. Overall our first experience was great. We will order from here again. read more

Love Chunky Tomato! So glad they are in my town! No better pizza in Bristol than here people! Thin crust pizza not that Greek stuff. Do yourself a favor get a buffalo chicken pizza with blue cheese on the side! It will change your life and set the bar high! Their big boys are awesome! They make their own bread for them! All of them are awesome! Italian combo, meatball and chicken Parmesan! For ultimate experience go on a Friday or Saturday around 5 or 6 when the place is jammed up. All pizza place taste a little better at these times!!! read more

Hands down best pizza in Bristol. A little more expensive then average but worth it. Dough is cooked crispy ( some may called burnt) with a sweet sauce that you can see the chunks of tomatoes in(hence the name) Love the small pepperoni Quality ingredients make quality pizza Don't miss. Classy show before you buy. read more

Best pizza in the local area hands down. Can never go wrong with their Buffalo-BBQ Chicken pizza.

Great pizza!!!! Worth the wait and the fact that they aren't on delivery platforms. Try it!!!

My favorite Bristol pizza. Love: meatball, pepperoni, buffalo chicken. Also very good wings. The crust is thin (not too thin) and cooked perfectly every time. Love the chunks of tomato. Always tastes extremely fresh. Meaning to try the canolis, pumpkin ones are calling read more

Chunky Tomato definitely has the best pizza in Bristol and probably the surrounding areas as well. Every time I pick it up it is always fresh and hot out of the oven, being boxed as I walk in! They also make homemade canolies here...to die for!! Definitely try them for a perfect after-pizza dessert. I particularly enjoy ordering from Chunky Tomato because the workers are always very nice to my clients when I bring them to pick up our order (I work with mentally and physically handicapped adults). My clients love coming out to pick up our special Friday lunches! read more

This place is my absolute favorite pizza. I'm a simple pepperoni and cheese kind of guy and they have those perfect curled up one that everyone loves. If they delivered I'd order it a few times a week. Probably the best for my weight that they don't since I'm too lazy to drive and get it sometimes. read more

The first pizza I ordered from here was bacon and onion- it was just okay, not spectacular. The next time I ordered a plain cheese and it was the worst cheese pizza I have ever had. Honestly, I've had frozen pizzas that tasted better. They make customers wait outside because of COVID, which is good, but the employees making the food were only wearing face shields and no masks. Additionally, the two kids wearing the face shields had them tipped up so much that there was no way there was any protection. I brought this to the attention of the hostess and she promptly told them to put their shields down. At my second trip to Chunky Tomato, plastic sheeting had been put up to block the view into the kitchen. My guess is that they got more complaints about mask wearing. After my bad pizza experience and the lack of attention to COVID precautions I decided that I won't be visiting this place anymore. West End and Wolcott Pizza are my new favorites. read more

mhhmmmmmmmmm.......... The pizza here is really good I have no complaints. I have ordered here a few times already and ever since I started ordering here I haven't ordered anywhere else. Best pizza in Bristol!! read more

Mike Vita's Chunky Tomato is clearly Bristol's BEST pizza place They also serve dinners, sandwiches, and have some new ice creams which I have yet to try but I am sure they are good. I love their thick crust pizza and my children love their new "chunckless" sauce! If you are ever in Bristol and craving pizza this is place is a must! read more

Absolutely an excellent establishment for the best fresh food.always consistent and delicious.

Great place for that thin crust pizza thy also have some unique ones like the Irish with potatoes on the pizza I know sounds crazy but it's good. The also have a thanksgiving pizza as well with turkey and all the fixings. Salads are good as well and there dressing is homemade and yummy. If your in Bristol and want good thin style frank Pepe pizza than this is the place to go. read more

The sauce is a little too much for me personally. It's very pronounced. The portions with the price comes a little much for so little. Pizza dough is super thin. Crust was bland. It's not my top choice for pizza in Bristol. read more

This place is great. Having been a patron of Vita's, I certainly miss the quality until I began coming here. This has turned to our go to pizza place. read more

My friend and I ordered a pizza, caesar salad, buffalo wings, and cannolis. The pizza was pepperoni, bacon, olives, and onions. The onions were a bit of a mistake as they were long and stringy and made eating the slices a bit of a challenge, but the quality was good overall. 4/5 The wings were a bit too vein-y for my friend's taste, and while I didn't mind them too much, she couldn't continue to eat them.2.5/5 The caesar salad was very plain, the croutons were very hard and again a bit of a deterrent for my friend 1.5/5 The cannolis were good.3.5/5 I'd definitely try them again read more

Great employee attitude and out of this world pizza!!! Would recommend to anyone. Keep it up!!

Simply amazing pizza. Fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. What more could you ask for? Best pizza in Bristol.

My family and I have been buying pizza from the Vita family for at least a decade. We were heartbroken when Vita's closed on Farmington Avenue a few years ago, but then Chunky Tomato opened! During the interim while Vita's was closed and before we discovered Chunky Tomato, we tried different pizza places in Bristol and Terryville but could not find anything we liked. I always order the eggplant parm dinner which is...ok...but since I keep getting it, it isn't too bad! The family gets the pizza which is to die for! read more

I had my hopes super high, but unfortunately I was a bit let down. They advertised their chicken cutlet sandwich as "made to order" - but the chicken sadly was a frozen cutlet which I try to stay away from. Their pizza was pretty good, a little too greasy for me - but my son liked it! All in all, good if you want to grab something quick. read more

Great local spot for pizza and wings. I've never had a bad experience ordering from Chunky and the staff is always very friendly. I definitely recommend. read more

Everyone raves about this place but I'm not very impressed. I have definitely had better pizza and for some reason every time I have eaten anything here with sauce on it I have gotten sick. The only reason why I gave it two stars is because the grinders are pretty good. But I would never come here for the pizza or calzones. read more

Really good pizza...one of the best in Bristol. Their sauce is very tasty and they put on just the right amount, their cheese is also just the right amount...big pieces, yummy crust. They have a nice variety of options too...I liked their white pizza with ricotta the best...my daughter who hates tomato based sauces also enjoyed this one. I also liked their veggie chicken...they did not skimp on the veggies and the chicken chunks were delish. I would totally want to order from this place again...maybe try some of their other menu items! read more
