E&D Special Pizza is amazing! The crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are fresh and generous, and the flavor is incredible in every bite. Definitely one of the best pizzas I've had--highly recommend! read more

The pizza here used to be as good as stated in the other reviews. However, tonight's pizza was disappointing. Yes, the crust is still thin. We ordered extra cheese but there was no extra cheese. Tonight I felt the pizza was average. read more

Excellent pie served up by a restaurant that is truly community oriented. The family vibe is underscored by the fact that E and D represent the first letters of the owner's two sons. They seem to always be involved in doing good deeds for great causes. They are to be applauded for such community commitment while also serving seriously delicious pies. If they ever start a delivery service they will be literally off the charts (especially to this disabled customer!). read more

One of the best pizzas I've had in Hartford county! We came to try their new purple potato pizza, which no one else in CT is offering. Super unique and totally delicious! Nice little takeout only spot. Next time we're in the area we'll have to try their classic cheese, but we were really impressed by their thin, crispy crust on this specialty pizza! read more

E & D Pizza opened in 2014 and stands for the owner's sons' names, Enzo and Dario. It is located in a plaza in Avon, CT. It's a takeout only pizza place with some benches inside. I ordered pizza and a couple of grinders on a Friday afternoon. The place was full of friendly workers and had a restroom available. I ordered a small Carnivoro pizza for my family; it had spicy pepperoni, bacon, Italian sausage, and meatballs. The dough was chewy and the toppings were good. All in all, a delicious pizza with a ton of toppings. I also ordered a chicken cutlet grinder, it had breaded chicken cutlets, mayo, American cheese, tomato, and lettuce; I enjoyed that, only thing was, there was too much of lettuce, easy fix to remove it. My husband had the chicken Parm grinder and he said it was very good. Overall, a good spot for pizza and a variety of other foods to choose from. read more

Good service and friendly staff. The menu is pretty good with very decent options and the food has always been great. Prices are reasonable and the place is always clean when I go to pick up food. I mostly have tried their salads and I love them! They have a lot of options and the ingredients taste fresh. read more

I tried to E & D pizza company for lunch today with a small pepperoni pizza. If I lived fairly close to this place, I would probably choose it once in a while for variety. Unfortunately, I live 10 miles from this place and I wouldn't drive that distance to get this pizza. This is good basic decent middle of the road pizza and a small pepperoni was $19 6.9 read more

Very good pizza, just wish I could eat it onsite. Too bad that it is take out only. Little City is a mile away, a little bit better and you can sit and eat there. read more

The food was excellent but we weren't clear that it had no seating and was takeout only. We ordered and got our food perhaps 15 mins later and everyone enjoyed the meal. It's great food just no seating or public restrooms. read more

I ordered take out from here since it is either take or delivery only. Was sad you couldn't eat in. So when you walk in it is a big open room with benches that surround so people have a place to sit while they wait. Everything was nice and clean in there. For food I ordered the fried mozzarella and a small carnivoro. The fried mozzarella I have to say was nothing short of phenomenal. When I brought it home and and opened it up i was certainly delighted to see they also had freshly shaved some aged parmesan I believe on top. I was worried the Mozzarella would be soggy but boy I was just so delighted that it was crispy and stayed crispy to the last bite. You get 4 Triangles and the marinara sauce was great too, definitely homemade, fresh and flavorful. The small pizza i ordered was the Carnivoro, which is the meat lovers at other places and it was super delicious. They did not skimp on the toppings like other places and the pepperoni is the best around not many places I know of that use the thick cut pepperoni that turns into crispy cups when cooked. For a small its 14 inches in diameter, this is a medium elsewhere in the area, and the large is 18" in diameter which as well is larger than most larges in the area. I will be back again, I absolutely love it! read more

One of the worst margherita pizzas I've ever had. The cheese is.....burnt? Regular cheese pizza - cheese tastes like it was separating. Wings were the far side of the moon from crispy. Nobody wants chewy wings.... Fail read more

Two words come to mind when I think about E&D's Pizza...absolutely delicious I had this place bookmarked forever and I finally got the chance to stop by. I ordered a cheese pizza. It was absolute perfect...piping hot, perfect amount of cheese and sauce, and a nicely well balanced thin crust. Service was great too. And the pizza was ready when they said it would be. Definitely check it out! read more

When she wants "really good pizza", a friend of my wife who used to own a restaurant, travels from her home in Hartford to E&D Pizza Company in Avon. I find that compelling because she knows good food, and there are myriad good pizza options within that driving time. That and the great Yelp Rating jumped E&D towards the top of my CT Try List a few years ago. Recently, I planned to be in Avon around lunchtime for the first time in a long time. As I left my home in Newington, I called to order a large meatball and onion pizza for takeout. They boxed it as I arrived. After taking the obligatory Foodie Parking Lot Photos of the pizza, I ate two slices in my car before driving to my next stop, and I saved the rest for dinner. I can see why somebody would drive about 25 minutes for this pizza. The thin crust was ideal for me. It had some char and was crispy enough to hold even hot toppings well, but it was good-chewy in the way that I prefer. The sauce was simple, fresh tasting and delicious. I don't know why, but the mozzarella really stood out. It tasted slightly saltier, in a good way, than the cheese on many pizzas. The meatballs and onions were both tasty. The meatballs were broken up into small pieces and spread across the pizza, and the onions were thin sliced. I would have preferred somewhat larger pieces of meatball, but E&D's way certainly worked. E&D is presently takeout only. I'm not sure how things worked pre-Pandemic. If you live within 10 minutes of E&D, I can't imagine you have many better pizza options when E&D is not super busy. Great CT pizza doesn't always hold up well to traveling more than 15 minutes or so. I actually thought E&D's pizza held up great, and it was still terrific when we reheated it for dinner (my go to system for this size slice -- microwave 2 large slices at a time for 40 seconds and cook in a 375 degree oven for 9 minutes). Five Stars for E&D. Its reputation is well deserved. read more

Last week I ordered a half chicken parmesan grinder. Instead of a chicken breast, I got a chicken patty. The roll was soggy, and was not up to the standards I expect from E&D Pizza. I truly hope this is not an indication of things to come. Springwest689@gmail.com read more

Move over New Haven pizza. You've got some serious competition in northern CT. Camille's in Tolland, Oakland in South Windsor, a bunch in West Hartford and Glastonbury......AND E&D Pizza Company in Avon. I know all "best of" lists are subjective, but E&D was just voted "World Pizza Champion" last week at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. First CT establishment to ever attain that honor. My first visit here was in May, 2019. They had consistently been awarded best pizza in a Hartford readers' poll. I gave them 5-stars for their Positano pie. I had it again tonight. OUTSTANDING! Who would have thought that pizza topped w black mission figs, goat cheese, red onion, and chili honey drizzle would be so delicious. This pizza snob was totally blown away. One thing - no indoor dining. Everything is takeout. But the phone was constantly ringing.... surprisingly for more dinners than pizza. A hidden gem that's no longer hidden. read more

I've been hearting about E&D for a while. Then I drove by the other day and finally said enough is enough and ordered it a few days later. Wow--this is honestly one of the best pizzas I've had in central CT and I've tried plenty of pizza around here. The crust is thin with a slight chewy texture (this sounds like a negative but if you know you know). The sauce and cheese ratio is perfection and the pizza doesn't have to compensate by dripping in oil. It's simply amazing just how it is. I cannot believe I didn't know I was missing this pizza in my life and now I won't be able to stay away. read more

Ate on the go. Obviously a pizza spot but I got the Italian sub toasted. It was a dang good sub. I like my bread with some crunch and they bring it. A very solid sub that is worth the price read more

We've been long time fans of E&D, but we are even more so tonight after discovering and consuming their terrific take out special. It's a Family Dinner only available on Tuesdays, and the choices vary with the week. Tonight, for just $28 we got a 1/2 pan of rigatoni marinara with 9 big meatballs, a 1/2 pan of salad with cheese, close to a pint of salad dressing, and a nice loaf of Italian Genzano bread. Where do I start? The salad was large, and we should be able to get 6 servings out of it. The mozzarella cheese garnish, olives, and marinated peppers were a nice touch. You don't see those on every salad, but I liked all of it, so I was happy. But if you don't like the marinated peppers, I just wanted you to be aware of them lurking underneath the lettuce. The rigatoni marinara was comfort food to the tenth power -absolutely perfect pasta with a thick fantastic sauce. And the meatballs!!! They were fabulous- nine biggies with a ton of flavor. And how about the bread? A round loaf of Genzano bread that was fresh as fresh could be. We expect to make 6 portions out of this feast, so you do the math. The value is tremendous, and the quality was way up there. See ya next Tuesday ! read more

First and foremost their HALF A GRINDER IS HALF OF A HALF. My hubby decided today he wanted to try their whole grinder and it's a 60 minute wait.. How is this possible? If you are charging customers MORE but producing LESS, shouldn't the food come out sooner? While their grinders are good, it's not worth being up charged for more than its value. AVOID and go to Vivaldi's Pizza where you get more and not less than what E&D charges. **The More You Know** read more

I'm sure my perspective is skewed coming straight from New York, which (I'm sorry) has the best pizza in the world, but I actually thought E&D had some muster. The menu is overwhelmingly large imo but they have a number of fun specialty pies including Thai Chicken and one with fig and goat cheese. Pies run you around $15-18 for a small and $23-25 for a large, which is pretty reasonable for the quality. We also got half an italian hoagie which was slightly disappointing. The hoagies from DaVinci are inarguably better. Anyway, pizza was great and satisfying and the pickup experience was easy. Will definitely try again. read more

Food is always fresh and of good quality but what I want to comment on is the level of customer service and Manners! of the staff that answers the phone and serve you. So refreshing to talk with people who understand the importance of please and thank you. That alone is enough to keep us as return customers, the food is a tasty bonus. read more

Always think the pizza is too salty. It love that it is a local establishment. I have only ever had pizza though I've had the cheese, bacon, and pepperoni. read more

Take out on a weeknight was super fast from ordering to pick up. We had a large pizza with their carnivolo and E&D special. Both were very delicious topping combinations and it was on a perfectly crisp and chewy dough. There were a number of other things on the menu that I wanted to try and we'll definitely be back. read more

Great pizza, service is on point, great customer service and the ambiance is inviting.

This business appears to have gone downhill. Ordered one whole eggplant grinder and one half turkey grinder for dinner. Turkey grinder literally had one piece of turkey at the front of the grinder with some arugula and a thin slice of tomato on the back half of the grinder. The rest was the bread. The eggplant was very dry with little tomato sauce. I guess we will no longer order from here again. Bye. read more

Excellent pizza. Perfect crispy crust, plenty good vegetables and tasty sauce on the veggie pizza.

Their fresh mozzarella and basil Pizza was very good as was their garden salad. Enough food for two for two days. Will definitely be back to try other choices. read more

Of course it's still 6, 7? stars.. Now that life is so full of.... Well, nevermind that LOL Leave it at, I still LOVE the pizza, and my kids, they'd eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner if we let them. (and because someone might see this, Go Habs Go) read more

We love this place! The pizza here is excellent. We also have a kid with a gluten allergy, and they have gluten-free pizza available as well. We've tried several appetizers and salads as well, always great. My new favorite from here are their honey hot wings. The sauce is amazing and the wings are perfectly cooked. The food is always hot and ready on time. I've never had an issue with any order mixups and I appreciate their organization. read more

Freaking phenomenal! As an Italian NY native, I have had a hard time finding the perfect grinder in CT, but this my friends is everything an eggplant grinder should be. Crispy eggplant at the perfect thickness, red peppers, mozzarella and just the right amount of sauce on perfectly toasted bread. No soggy sandwiches here! The person who took my order was friendly and accurate on timing too! Will definitely be back! read more

Unbelievable pizza. Perfect undercarriage, and the dough was deliciously thin, crispy, and chewy.

My absolute favorite pizza place in Avon (and from its ample awards, many critics agree). In my opinion, the thin crust style pizza is absolutely perfect in consistency and taste. The fresh vegetable ingredients, quality meets and tasty mozzarella all come together to make a phenomenal pizza. One of the best in town! read more

I come to the Hartford area for business once or twice a year and stay in Avon, which calms me. But one night each time, I have to have a pizza from E &D. Tonight I had the E &D special and I got my colleagues an Eggplant Parm and an Italian sub, both toasted. This place always delivers and the staff is always friendly. See you in April!!! read more

I literally just finished my first slice and I had to RUN to my phone to write this review. THIS is the pizza Farmington Valley deserves. The four cheese with red sauce is that of gods. Garlic knots are unreal and the regular size chicken Parmesan can feed an entire family!! Free delivery through Dine In CT is perfect too. Love being able to order through an app! Makes tracking your exciting food fun! UPDATE: I'm back to report that even the bread side that comes with the pasta is incredible. I just want 10 more slices!! read more

We ordered a large extra cheese pizza for takeout. After paying almost 25 dollars, I was expecting the Best of Hartford to be exactly that. Unfortunately, this pizza did not even live up to standards that warrant the price tag. The dough was chewy. The sauce was very bland and the cheese gelatinous. We were tole this was better than Little City and man was that a lie. read more

Great place very nice caring people. Food is great. Cant wait to go back when I am in town

Fantastic! Fabulous! Delicious!! Had a group of friends for pizza last nigWe have been customers for years and always been pleased!!
