Buffalo Chicken Pizza

I can't say enough positive things about Elm Hill Pizza. The pizza is absolutely delicious- perfect every single time. The owners are also so friendly and wonderful. Elm Hill never misses! Our favorite pizza by far. I don't write reviews but this place is so good I had to give them the credit they deserve! As you can see from my picture I couldn't wait to eat the pizza LOL!

Definitely a Newington staple! Finally checked this place out for our go to pizza topping- buffalo chicken! Immediately ordering on the phone staff was super nice and friendly. Once we picked up the pizza my husband kept saying how nice they were there! When we took our pizza home we were super impressed and loved our pizza! They serve pan pizzas here so their crust is super unique and flavorful. The Buffalo chicken is one of the best I've had. Amazing flavor! I will definitely be ordering from them again soon.

I think it's fair to say that Elm Hill Pizza is a Newington institution. I live closer to other places that I like, but I still make sure I get to Elm Hill a few times a year for their reliably good pizza and grinders. For people of a certain age and place, can you even hear the word "calzone" without thinking of fake George Steinbrenner stalking Seinfeld's George Costanza through the New York Yankee offices for his lunch calzone? I know I can't. Today, I ordered my first calzone in a while - a pepperoni, onion and green pepper calzone from Elm Hill. I phoned in my order and it was ready on time. Elm Hill is small and the inside is functional, but there are a few tables if you'd like to dine in during off-peak times. If you were to try that around dinner, you might see that Elm Hill can get crowded with takeout customers and the dining room may feel a bit cramped. I normally get takeout. The calzone was huge and looked great. It was the folded over and press-sealed variety of calzone. The top was vented and you could see the oozy mozzarella peaking through. The top was also partially coated with little cheese crisp strands. A welcome sight. A calzone is not a go to order for me, but it does have some natural advantages over pizza. Most importantly for me, calzones allow for total sauce control. Ever get a pizza lacking in sauce? Not a problem with a calzone. Dip away. Calzones also stay warm longer than pizzas since they're double-crust insulated. Elm Hill's calzone was very good. The crust was well done and had good texture. The mozzarella and ricotta cheese were both tasty. The pepperoni, peppers and onions were well cooked and delicious. It was just a solid calzone in every way. The marinara dipping sauce was decent, but not my favorite. There are a zillion ways to make sauce and you can't please everybody. For me, Elm Hill's sauce was a little too sweet, not quite salty enough and lacking in the Italian herb (oregano, etc.) flavor that I like. But again, the calzone itself was very good and Elm Hill's sauce may connect with people with different sauce preferences than I have. Four enthusiastic Stars for Newington's beloved Elm Hill Pizza.

Absolutely the nicest people and the best pizza in Newington! We go to Elm Hill all the time and everything we've ordered is fantastic. Our go-to is the buffalo chicken pizza and eggplant pizza, but we also love the steak and cheese, roast beef, calzones, and most recently, their homemade meatballs! When you walk-in everyone makes you feel so welcomed. Can't wait to try more of their menu soon!

I decided to take home an extra pizza so I got a Pete's special in gluten free and that was very good as well. I also ordered a medium Greek salad that was so fresh and crisp with lots of chunks of feta and olives, little tomatoes and crisp lettuce! A very generous portion that I will return to get it all over again. The owner is the chef and is a very nice person. He's very friendly and welcoming. He bought Pete's restaurant a couple of years ago.

The only reason this isn't 2 stars was for the very friendly man at the counter. Very kind and…read moreprofessional. However, as others have said, this place needs some TLC. Generally kind of dirty feeling. Bathroom is not super clean, and the hand soap dispenser still doesn't work as in someone else's previous post. They've put out dishwasher soap as an alternative, but, c'mon now... As for the food. We ordered a house salad (pretty terrible) and a medium plain cheese. The pizza was eh. 2/5 stars max. Not sure how ppl can rate the pizza highly when you have such stellar examples of what great pizza actually tastes like not too far away in New Haven. It's strip mall pizza. Don't go in expecting high quality food. But, yeah, the guy at the counter was super nice, and that counts for something in my book.

My husband and I told her it was our first visit to JG and she was delighted to help us with any questions or concerns. The menu is huge and it offers something for everybody! I decided to start with the apple salad, which was huge! It was crispy, crunchy, and had just the right mix of ingredients. My husband ordered a small (12in) cheese pizza, and I decided to go with a small (12in) vodka pizza. I love vodka sauce but had never tried it on a pie before, man was it delicious!- Chef's kiss! My husband really enjoyed his traditional cheese pizza as well! It was great to find a new haven style pizza joint further into the state. They also serve Detroit style pizza which I'd be interested in trying next time. The only downside was not having room to try the italian ricotta donuts that look and sound amazing (which JG doesn't start serving till 5pm). I guess that means we'll just have to go back! 10 out of 10 for JG, we shall return!

One line for take out or dine in. 2 blocks up we see Frank Pepe's, heard it's been a long standing rivalry between the two. The line for franks is also ridiculous, but they have a carry out spot that lets you go in order and just get it fresh out the oven. Got the white clam jawn and the regular cheese, my dawg got their seasonal cheese pizza that had something special going on with the tomato's. Best got damn pizza I've ever had in my life man. We don't have a special kind of pizza in California, so the shit out west Apizza was new for me and it was off the chain, highly recommend! Those Foxon Park "white birch" sodas are some candy too!

The crust is tough and crunchy with delicious charred flavor from the high heat firing. We tried their tomato pie with mozzarella which I quite liked. It was on the blander side but with the oregano and garlic, was quite palatable. We also got their famous clam pie but we were not terribly impressed. To me it almost tastes like a clam pasta on a pizza. It's basically just what the name implies. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again but the tomato pie was great. Our service was stellar. The people checked on us frequently and got us all the drinks we wanted. They helped us pack the pizza in foils so we could out the leftovers in our hotel fridge. A word of warning! The pizza is huge!
