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've been wanting to come try this spot so I was very excited when my sister decided to do her…read morebirthday here! Walking in it felt very spacious and open had a great upscale looking vibe going on. With an open patio covered in flowers so cute. The Staff was super tentative and on top of their game. Very accommodating and made things go very smoothly even in a room full of adults & kids! The food was delicious and all the appetizers came out fast and fresh. The calamari was super crispy and had a great sauce for dipping! My steak came out perfectly medium rare just how I like it and portions were huge! Only thing i would say is the charcuterie board was alright because the pickled veggies and olives were so salty in my opinion. But overall everything else was great! Espresso martini's were super strong and the assorted desserts hands down my fav part! i think my favorite would be the lemon dessert it was so light, I couldn't believe it was cheesecake. I would deff come back again!!!!

We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather. I would definitely recommend sitting out there if you can. Waitress- I wish I remembered her name because she was amazing. From recommendations on drinks and food to giving us dessert on the house. Drinks: I started with Nonna's garden and then had an espresso martini. Both were delicious. Coffee is brewed to order which makes a difference. He tried the mx to Milan but didn't feel it was strong enough. Turns out this drink is prepaid every morning. So he got a White Russian and was pleased. Apps: you must try the mussels and radish dish as well as the meatballs. You will thank me later. Main Course: chicken parmigiana was huge and delicious. The pasta that came with it was a little under cooked. But it heated up nicely the next day. I got the 12oz prime flatiron steak with mash and asparagus. Cooked perfectly. Dessert- we devoured the torta caprese

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!

We had the cheesy garlic bread and risotto balls, which were a good start to the night. Our entrees- the chicken parm and pasta alla vodka- were good as well, the alla vodka sauce was especially flavorful! We were also given warmed biscotti at the end of our dessert! The service at this place is also amazing, 10/10! Our server was very attentive and friendly, she was the best. The atmosphere was casual and light, not too loud, not too quiet. This was our first time in Rocky Hill and we will definitely be back!

Fried mozz... the flavor of the cheese was good but the pieces were over fried so it was kinda hard and tasted somewhat burnt 2. Risotto balls... those were great, just needed a lil more sauce. I would definitely order this again. 3. Spicy Calamari... There was an unpleasant odor as soon as they came out. Tasted the actual Calamari and it was delicious but the dish was ruined with all the crap that was added. The yucky slaw and the sauce/ drizzle were unnecessary and made the dish inedible. Wish they left it off or put it in the side so we could have enjoyed the Calamari itself. 4. Sweet Potato Ravioli... the actual ravioli was good. Loved the filling. But this dish was ruined by a flavorless sauce. It tasted like cream mixed with butter. That sauce should be left off. Im sure the server already knew we didnt really enjoy it bcuz he didnt even question why food was left and we didnt want to take any of it to go... Really planned to order more from the happy hour menu but after those last 2 disappointing apps, I changed my mind...

I haven't been here in months! I have a rare chance to grab a drink and some food on the way hone…read moretonight from bowling. The restaurant is located on 389 Main St. in East Hartford. For my drink, I'm having the Pratt N' Whiskey. This is made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. A straw is odd for this drink. It tastes pretty good though! The restaurant is right across from Pratt & Whitney so it is play on words. For my appetizer, I'm having the Chicken Tenders with Cajun seasoning (off of the "Bar Bites" menu). I don't have these very often! I like the celery and carrot sticks. These are delicious! Chicken tenders (also known as chicken goujons, chicken strips, chicken fingers, or chicken fillets) are chicken meat prepared from the pectoralis minor muscles of the bird. These strips of white meat are located on either side of the breastbone, under the breast meat(pectoralis major). They may also be made with similarly shaped pieces cut from chicken meat, usually the breast, or sometimes just pulverized chicken flesh. They have a live band here! This place is famous for live music! These guys are good! I could stay here all night! For my next item. For my next food item, I'm having a Side Caesar Salad (tossed). A Caesar salad (also spelled Cesar, César and Cesare), also known as Caesar's salad, is a green salad of romaine lettuce and croutonscommonly dressed with lemon juice (or lime juice), olive oil, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan and black pepper. This is delicious! Wow! For my last drink of the night, I am having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob Creek Bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. This is very similar to a "Perfect Manhattan" (martini) which is made with dry and sweet vermouth. Wow! Look at this! This drink is great! I love the taste! The bartender is awesome! This guy knows how to make a drink let me tell you! For my entree, I'm having the Fra Diavolo made with homemade sausage and a shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce with onions, garlic and roasted red peppers over rigatoni. Yes, as hot as possible. "You can't make it hot enough so I can't eat it." Outside of Indian restaurants, that is usually true. This is a huge plate! Oh yeah! This is good! The shrimp is huge! The pasta is cooked just right! This is the best! I like the fact that the bartender brought over Tabasco sauce and hot pepper flakes. Now you're talkin'! This place is the best!

The first time, I went with a friend and ordered the lobster ravioli. While eating it, I started feeling nauseous and ended up returning the dish to the server. The next day, my friend contacted me and told me that she had become very sick after eating the separate dish she had ordered. I can't say for certain what caused either of us to feel sick, but the experience definitely left me concerned. I decided to give Yanni's another chance because I've always enjoyed going there. Unfortunately, my second experience was also disappointing. I went with my girlfriend and we ordered a meat lovers pizza. The crust had what tasted like a stale/refrigerated flavor, and the crust itself was noticeably different from what I was used to getting from Yanni's. My girlfriend also thought the pizza was terrible and told me we shouldn't go back. That's what makes this so disappointing. This used to be a reliable go-to spot for me, so having two bad experiences back-to-back makes me wonder if something has changed. I really hope the restaurant looks into the consistency and quality of the food because I'd much rather be able to recommend Yanni's again.
