Want this family to succeed, but food is just not good. Eggplant was not cooked properly.. Wasn't breaded and pre-fried enough to soften the eggplant. It was toooo tough. Give us some of your dishes and stop trying to do Italian. There is enough of that in this town. We need something different read more

Service was good. The calamari and the clam strips were delicious. The rest of the meal was disappointing. Too much cheese on the cheese pizza, and they used canned mushrooms on the other pizza. This was a huge departure from a month ago when they were still using fresh mushrooms. I hope the higher quality ingredients are brought back. If not, I will definitely be looking for a new place to eat. read more

Pizza usually is just o.k. Today - horrible. Burned top and soggy pizza. They offered to give us another one - why bother. Won't go back. read more

This review is late in the making but I gotta put this out there. Was there a while back and went in for a Pizza (dine in). I sit at the counter and wait,and wait,and wait. 10 minutes go by and finally a customer next to me tells the waitress this guys been waiting. (there was only 5 customers in the whole place). I get a place setting and order my pizza. Wait,wait,wait it's been 30 minutes. I ask an employee like is my pizza coming out today??? (I get a deer in the headlights look) The waitress comes over and says thats for take out right? (you dont see the placemat ,glass of water, fork and knife in front of me). She goes and gets the pizza that has been sitting on top of the oven (who knows how long). Opens the box, places the pizza next to the cash register and proceeds to cash people out with customers hovering over the pizza. I loose it , I walk out and tell her keep the damn pizza Dumb as a box of rocks. I realize running a restruant in these times is tough but FFS Management train your staff read more

A go-to pizza takeout joint for the locals. The grinders are really good, always filled with meat. The pizza is better at Dimitri's in town but if you're not wanting to drive up to N Coventry this place will do! Calzones are good too. read more

See all

I asked what the dessert in the cooler was right by the door and was told it was Tres leches cake. After expressing my love for Tres leches, and being told by the staff that their Tres leches was amazing I decided to give it a go. At almost 6 dollars, it appears like a giant blob of whipped cream with strawberries. After walking out to my truck and realizing this and then walking back in to show it to the young man that packaged it for me, I was told "hey I'm sorry it's a little messy I know, but that it is what it is." Needless to say I walked out with whip cream and strawberries with a very small sliver of cake underneath it. Quite frankly, I will not be able to give a review based on taste because this blob found its way straight to the trash. I guess it is what it is, I'll never be back to Coventry Pizza Shop. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Quiet night (Tuesday) not surprising but we thoroughly enjoyed everything. Service was good, the Calimari was super good as was the pizza - way better than some others we've tried in town. Definitely coming back with friends. read more

The prices are high since the owners increased them recently. The food used to be better. It's been mediocre lately. $46+ for a LG 4 item and a small vegetarian. read more

We haven't had this pizza in years, and decided to give it a try. WOW! Simple cheese pizza done right! In fact it was so good the family wanted it the next night. Crust is really nice and has an authentic taste. Sauce is not overly sweet and cheese was great. We had both cheese and pepperoni but everyone just raved about the cheese. read more

We were traveling thru Connecticut and stop to eat pizza. We had the #14 Meat Lovers and it was great. We would eat there again.

DEFINITELY MY NEW FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE!! I got the chicken bacon, ranch pizza. It was delicious!!! Everything was cooked perfectly!! customer service was excellent!!!! read more

Coventry Pizza is consistently a great family restaurant. Their food is delicious. The decor is cozy. Their service can sometimes appear slow, however that is because everything is made to order and it is worth the wait. Even the bread and pasta sauce are homemade. The waitresses are attentive. All the staff are friendly and the customer service is great. The owner is awesome and always comes to our table and says hello. This has become our go-to restaurant and it feels like home whenever we come here. read more

New owners. Took less than a month to go completely down hill 2x orders were wrong. Good had become tasteless. It's sad. We miss the old owners! read more

The one thing most restaurants lack nowadays is Heart and you'll get plenty of that here you won't see different staff every time you come in it's the same pleasant faces, they know your name & they always do an amazing job in the kitchen and the serving staff is amazing they're sweet, attentive, respectful and go out of the way to make you feel at home. My family goes to Coventry pizza quite often, I was new to the area last year and the staff at this establishment treated me like family and the food is always phenomenal, I have never been let down It's a very clean restaurant and you can tell the owners treat this as a home not just a business which speaks volumes about the character of these warm hearted owners you'll always feel comfortable, happy, and satisfied here Enjoy I know I will ~Eric~ read more

My family were regular customers for 20 years, unfortunately the new ownership is incredibly rude. I ordered fish & chips for pick up & when I got home it was raw & inedibl. I called & politely asked for the manager figuring I could just get a replacement. The person that came on the phone claimed to be the owne. I could not understand him. I asked him to spell his name so when I came in person I'd have a legitimate record. He became angry & rude. Stated he was to busy. What a shame! read more

Well my favorite restaurant got sold out. New owners. Ordered a meatball grinder and this is what I received. Picture says it all. Bye bye Coventry Pizza!! read more

8/1/23 ordered 3 whole grinders, tuna, Genoa and roast beef. they were the worst grinders I ever had. The bread was not fresh, it was stale & dry. read more

When I called the first thing I asked was if they had GF pizza. Answer was yes. Good! Second (specific) question was do you have artichokes as a topping? Answer was YES. Awesome! So, I ordered a GF pizza with artichoke spinach snd mushrooms. Get there to pick up the pizza, find out NO artichoke! WTF COVENTRY PIZZA?? Honestly, I don't care what the pizza is like, you didn't come through. Fail. Not cool. read more

Great food and always consistent. Salads and pasta are great. Baklava is also a great dessert.

The greek Fries with Feta=Incredible Breakfast=Deliciouso Deserts=Perfection You can't go wrong with anything here!! It is all so so good! read more

Their Pizza is so good! B.L.T. Pizza. Yummy my daughter loved it. Shrimp & Garlic pizza, the White deluxe pizza. dinners are really good too. We've had both the surf & turf and the lobster ravioli. The chef Ramiro is excellent. He brought us over a wonderful desert. The stuffed mushrooms he makes are just amazing. The decor is cosy. Lots of parking. The menu is varied with something for everyone, the staff is pleasant. Oh, and the food is really good. Usually half to full of customers. They look like regulars. Takeout is brisk. The prices are right, the portions are large. great sandwiches, full entrees...it's all been good. everything we've tried has been excellent read more

Stick to take out here and make sure they get your order right before you leave! Have been going here for years and their pizza is always a late night craving with a menu full of other yummy options too. Inside is dim with some lingering smell (not a good one either), a leak above the register, and a unkept outside eating section. Overall, foods great. Staff and facilities not so much. read more

Coventry Pizza Shop - Pizza Near Me - Coventry, Connecticut

Rude, not forgiving for their own mistakes!! Horrible customer service(owner). Made a mistake and didn't own up to it.

The place is fine, the service is good, but, to be very clear, this is NOT pizza and anyone who thinks that this is "the best pizza ever" needs to drive a Couple of hours in any direction. read more

Ok I buy at an auction house right around the corner and they sell pizza by the slice and it's amazing (my son will only agree to work this auction due to the promise of pizza slices) So today we came and ate at the restaurant itself service was good and it was the same great pizza the crust was perfectly thick and just crispy enough the sauce (one white one red) was great and full of flavor and quality cheese and topping I highly recommend read more

Been ordering from here at least once a week for the last 6 months and seem to hardly ever get my order right or the other guys I work with food right. And when I finally confronted them about it they don't seem to care....idk why its so hard to read an order slip read more

The service and the food are great. Prices are reasonable. Rachel our waitress gave us great service. We will be back for sure! read more

Our Waitress was amazing (Lisa)! Very friendly, always made sure we had everything we needed. A+ for service. Unfortunately, I ordered the "Shipwreck" but they did not have enough seafood to complete my whole meal.. Grinders were delicious. Kind of a regular pizza shop.. read more

Really unassuming little place outside and in. Very friendly staff. Quick Service whether dine in or carry out. Delicious meatballs, fresh and crisp salads, flavorful sauces. They adjust dishes to fit the whims of the diner. Haven't tried the pizza yet but the entrees are wonderful! read more

first and last time getting food here. my husbands order was completely wrong, food was cold, and their tiramisu isn't tiramisu it's cake. we were really disappointed because we try to always order from small local businesses, but this one won't be on our regular list! read more

Perhaps my tastes are borderline snobbish being used to pizza and halal from NYC and Italian food from the North End in Boston. But needless to say, I was pretty disappointed at the meal I consumed at the Coventry Pizza Shop. I get it that the pizza was not NY-style but that wasn't the problem. The sauce tasted like it came straight from a processed can and the meat on the pizza seemed generic and sub-par as well. The "gyro" I had tasted no better than the frozen stuff you get from a small international grocery store who's probably had it for too long anyway. I'm sure the staff are nice people hence why this was not a 0 star rating. (I picked up and took out my order) Nonetheless, I probably would not return. read more

Update: As time passed, unfortunately, the food became inconsistent and largely disappointing with skimpy amounts of sauce and bland dishes. But worse: their marinara recipe took a nose dive . In addition, it takes quite awhile to get food compared to other local restaurants. Great desserts though. I was hesitant to come here because of the lower reviews but I am SO glad I did! Upon entering we were greeted by friendly waitstaff and instructed to sit where ever we pleased. Plenty of seating and as comfortable as anywhere else. They have a decent size bar - no jumbo screens so probably not your spot if you want to watch the game. The whole place was clean and the lights were on the dim side (which I really like). We were waited on quickly and the girl was nice and helpful. It is obvious that everything we ordered was made fresh and even so it came out quickly. We were constantly entertained by the conversations we could hear coming from the kitchen.. I guess some people may prefer employees to be seen and not heard but not us! The prices were fair and I was impressed with the menu options. Since we were feeling famished we ordered some fries as an appetizer. I am not kidding... easily top 5 fries I have ever had. Crispy and piping hot with perfect flavor! For dinner I decided on a calzone and my husband got a grinder. He really liked his grinder but it had things on it I dislike so I chose not to try it. The calzone though.. would it be too much to call it a masterpiece? Crispy exterior wrap that was soft inside... overflowing with my ingredients of choice... but the best part? The marinara. I really dislike marinara but I always give it a try and this is the first time - in my ENTIRE life - that I could not get enough of it! It is house made.. obviously with tons of love. I'm slightly ashamed to tell you that I ate it like soup. Not kidding. Also, I was not expecting ricotta in my calzone (and I normally would opt out since I'm not crazy about it) but I'm glad it was there! It is store bought (I had to ask) but honestly to me it seemed to have like.. essence of cream cheese in the best of ways. So.. I could go on and on but the bottom line is that this place blew our socks off! read more

My usual pizza stop disappointed me with over cooked hamburg on their Coventry Special. Let's watch out for over cooked meat and vegetables. read more

Friendly attentive staff without being overwhelming. Generous potions with a good value. Recommend for families and informal gathering for Pizza or traditional Italian and assorted fare. read more

I've had great Italian style food at this restaurant. Their pizzas are amazing and some of the best in the area. I frequently go out of my way to get their food. Plenty of parking, the place is clean, and I've always received prompt, courteous, service. Their prices run about the norm for this area so expect to spend about $20 for a large pizza. read more

Great owners and staff. Pizza is top shelf. Nightly meal specials include fresh fish and steaks. Italian specialties are consistently good. Greek dishes are homemade by owners and are always fun. Try the "shipwreck". It's a house specialty of multiple, fresh seafood in a white sauce over pasta. read more
