This place might have Elites give this a visit soon. Why do I say this? So when I took my friend to the Yelp Event in town, she actually asked the employees in that establishment where we could get something for a takeout dinner. This place happened to be one of the establishments named from inside Jubi's. Lo and behold, it was the most obvious thing we saw after we exited the bubble tea shop and so we decided to go. I do love the ambiance this place has for these summer months. You can actually sit in an outside bar that looks into the restaurant, and it's definitely a great spot to wait if you need that fresh air. The menu is fairly extensive, so there are definitely options to consider when ordering something here. The employees here do mention that it is about a 10-minute wait to cook the food which was fine. The Panama-Croatia game of the WC was on TV. The pizza we ordered was a chicken bacon ranch with hot honey, and there was also the sampler from the appetizers menu. Nothing wowed me about the food, but nothing was bad either. The pizza had a decent crunch to it, and the hot honey added just the right amount of sweetness to the slice. Out of what I had on the sampler, I would say the jalapeño poppers were the best. It has a zest kick while remaining juicy without getting the breading soggy. The zucchini sticks were helped by the dipping sauces, but they were otherwise alright. The mozzarella sticks did need the marinara sauce on this one to let its flavor shine. Service was good. Friendly faces, and we actually had our food carried out to us when they had our order ready. Can't ask for much else. But yeah, while there are some pizzas in CT I would chose over this if given the chance, this is still a good pizzeria that should be proud to be serving the Bethel area. read more

Famous pizza is an asset to the Bethel area and is so supportive of childhood development, eagerly supporting local school systems and camps! We finally redeemed some cheese slices and also ordered Sicilian slices, then enjoyed them while sitting at their open air counter! The staff was eager to serve us, hand delivering our piping hot slices to our seats with genuine smiles. While waiting we identified a variety of menu items we would be eager to try- including Detroit style pizzas, salads, and wraps. It was nice to see how locals were taking advantage of both the dining in and take out options. We love this local pizzeria! read more

Famous Pizza - Sicilian slice - Pizza Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

We decided to try a new pizza place and this came up on our "pizza near me" search. I was excited when I saw they had Sicilian style because that's what I grew up on. The place was slammed on a Friday night which we saw as a good sign. Our pepperoni and meatball pizza was kind of disappointing. The meatballs were chopped up so tiny that you couldn't taste them. The sauce didn't have much flavor. The crust was good texture. I'd be willing to try them again and try something else but wasn't impressed with our first go. read more

Solid pizza for bethel. Food is always hot when I get it for pickup. Service is great each time. My favorite is the taco pizza. 4 stars because while I do enjoy it, it doesnt quite fill the void when I crave new haven pizza. read more

Ordered pizza from CA for my family in Bethel experiencing a loss. Laina, who took my phone was so kind, making sure the order was correct. Delivery was speedy. read more

Great pizza in a nice town. A good stop for a friendly and quick meal. The ricotta and vodka slice was amazing read more

Anytime we get delivery from there, they get there in a timely matter, the food is hot and everything is delish. We get everything we ask for. read more

Had take out Pizza and they got my order wrong but didn't charge me so I let it go. Here's the deal: Very much a takeout joint Pies are small and zero crunch Toppings are over chopped and blended too much Sauce is lacking and they look like engineered frozen pies not hand spun No bubbles oil or scorched cheese just melted, bla. Worst offense I hate, smaller than they should be. Large is like 14" slices are 4 bites which is absolutely unacceptable. Never going back. Where are all the old timers? Pizza has become a monster margin grab since COVID. Shameful. read more

Always a great meal and Pizza never disappoints. I took my 80 year old Uncle today who is from Astoria Queens. He gave it a 10! He is not easy to please. A hometown staple! read more

Best pizza in Connecticut. Fact. Try everything. Detroit for the win. I go here at least once a week.

Been ordering from famous for 20 years. They are a bethel staple. Don't believe the negative reviews. Great local family who owns it as well read more

The food is fantastic. The service is warm, welcoming and professional. The front window opens up and creates indoor/outdoor dining. There are bistro tables and chairs on the lawn of P. T. Barnum Square. There is indoor dining, too. Free Parking. Their dough is made in house as is their sauce. They offer catering. Their App is user friendly, too. read more

Love this place especially the fact that owners can still be seen every day. Hybrid NY style pizza if you will and love their sandwiches with in house made bread. read more

Great local pizza spot and usually my go to if ordering. Pies are always consistent and tasty and even at peaks times delivery wait is never bad. Nice to support local businesses as well so it's a win win. read more

My client ordered pizza for us today and ordered a vegan pie for me (so nice, right?!). I haven't had cheese in a very long time and don't usually eat faux cheese because cheese was never important to me. I had a plain slice with vegan cheese today and WOW! To me it tasted exactly how I remembered a plain slice to taste, I couldn't believe it. Definitely a must try to vegan and non vegan customers. And yes, I got to take the rest of the pie home. read more

A true Bethel icon and staple! The pizza is flavorful, and the new pizza crust is wonderful. Service is consistently on-point, nothing but patient and friendly. The new space has a casual and familiar ambiance, not pretentious and very welcoming. I love this place, and I'm thankful they're here in Bethel! Highly recommended read more

Wildly mediocre. Small slices, cardboard crust, cheap ingredients. Low effort pizza cooked on a conveyer style oven.

The pizza is very good and the pricing is an excellent deal. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance of the place is great especially in warmer weather when the windows are wide open. I'm a native NYer, so I'm spoiled as far as pizza goes. read more

As a vegan, my options are limited but with the vegan cheese on a veggie pizza, this is a real treat. my review is more about the service, though. The outstanding customer service is the difference between good and great and these guys are great! read more

Great pizza, great staff and a casual dining atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

My office orders take out lunch from here every so often. We usually order the Greek salad with Gyro meat (slices of what seems to be gyro meat off of a spit) or Cesar salad with crispy chicken we order online and they have a tracker so you know exactly when your food will be ready for pick up. Salads are ok sometimes the chicken or the Souvlaki meat is a bit dry and the salads are packed with a ton of lettuce instead of toppings but most times the salads are good. My co workers enjoy the garlic knots and the garlic bread fresh with lots of garlic and a nice tomato dipping sauce. We havent gotten pizza from here but it always smells yum when I go to pick it up. Staff is super friendly and will help to the car with large orders We tried a brownie from the side plastic container on the counter and were less than impressed dry and straight from a box. Parking is a bit rough there are about ten spaces right by the restaurant or you can park on the main street or more down the block They do take credit cards. read more

Excellent buffalo chicken pizza and great service. However my personal favorite is the Greek salad with crispy chicken. It's delicious. Famous Pizza is always a household favorite for dinner. read more

I haven't been to Famous in quite a few years & upon hearing about their dietary accommodations we decided to order takeout. Good choice on our end! The pizza was great! Beyond what I would have expected for gluten-free. Delivery was done in a timely manner and when I spoke to (who I assume was) the owner over the phone he was very pleasant. We definitely will be back! read more

Okay first off what makes this place "famous" I can't even at this point figure out one cotton picking reason it would be. I reckon the locals like it but I find it almost cafeteria style pizza when I was in high school. Very elastic cheese the sauce and crust where okay but probably not fresh. My buddy and I came here expected that perfect famous slice of heaven but our slice took us to hell sorry won't be back! read more

This place is our absolute favorite even more so now with their Sicilian pizza. They even made a pie for us (before it was on the menu) when my son was in the hospital because it's that kind of place. In addition, their salads are phenomenal- specifically the garden salad with mozzarella. Keep up the great work gang! read more

It's great to see a hot oil pizza option now, but they just need to remove the seeds from the peppers. They leave an acrid aftertaste that ruins the taste of the pepper which dulls the overall pizza flavor. read more

So I messed up my delivery order and went online to place a second order for a salad. Delivery time was over an hour and pick up time was an hour. I called and Perry and his team had it prepared in minutes for us to pick up. I can not thank you enough, my daughter was very disappointed in my mix up! read more

BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA!!! They are really conscious of being gluten friendly and that is important to me as I struggle with gluten intolerance. I have not had their regular pizza but can tell you from the weekend busyness that they not only do well with making GFP but regular pizza as well. Although not directly related - While on my way to pick up my pizza before work a couple weeks ago I was at the light facing their delivery vehicle. The driver was wearing a mask in the car on his way to a delivery. I know that it might not seem like an important detail but it made me notice their professionalism and concern for this pandemic. I even commented on this when I picked up my own pizza order. read more

First time here. Place was clean and the staff were very friendly. My 4yr old like her little personal pizza. My meatball grinder was very good as well. A return is definite. read more

Famous Pizza - Meatball grinder - Pizza Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

Famous pizza is an institution in bethel. They have legit occupied every part of their building. Their most recent move/renovation has caused a stir amongst the towny losers who have enough time to write nasty reviews. The pizza has never looked or tasted better. The crust is thinner and crispier, but still has that golden, buttery, flaky thing going on. I gotta try their new Sicilian crust, but based on my last 3 pies, it's a 5 star kind of place. read more

Famous Pizza is the absolute BEST!!!!! My family has been savoring their culinary delights for almost 20 years. We ALWAYS leave happy and content. This Family Owned Business has faithfully served Bethel and neighboring towns and villages for 40 years. And may I add the prices for all dishes are eminently fair, affordable with leftovers galore. Kudos to them and our many thanks for their countless great meals. read more

We ordered two pizzas on Friday night, not realizing how icy roads had become. The driver arrived 15-20 minutes earlier than promised and the food was delicious as always. Perry and his crew are always extraordinarily accommodating and it's the best pizza around. read more

We went in to get a slice and it was strangely bad for the Tri-state area. If I were in the Midwest or something- it would be fine, but here? No. The crust was kind of bready- like Pizza Hut. Edible but odd. read more

Bethel has it's fair share of Italian and Pizza places in its downtown area now, but none of them compare to Famous. When I was a kid riding my bike through town, I'd stop at Famous for a slice of pizza for lunch when they were still a small operation. Now, they have grown and expanded and I couldn't be happier that more people are noticing their wonderful food. Famous is another staple of the family-oriented businesses in downtown Bethel. read more

Mozzarella sticks are really good, buff chicken wrap was ok, pizza was excellent! Definitely recommend.

Great food! Good people! Cute place! Fast service with a smile! Love this place! Every time we head to NY, we try to stop! Sometimes you can time it with the farmers market too! read more

OMG, we did a curbside pick up of large well done Godfather pizza on Monday! It was insanely delicious & I'm not a big eater but my BF is & could barely eat TWO pieces! I don't eat meat more than once a month. It was so incredibly delicious! Kudos! read more

When I moved to CT from Ohio, I missed placed with crunchy pepperonis. I was used to Donato's or Massey's. I had given up hope until my husband took me to Famous Pizza in Bethel, almost a hour from where we live. I was so excited to see the little crunchy pepperonis! It was worth the trip and I'll make it many times more. My son got a grinder and we shared some appetizers as well. Everything was delicious. I even took a pizza to go so I could take some to work with me. Thank you Famous Pizza for making this midwestern girl happy! Z read more

Recently went back and the food was delicious, I realized I was having a bad day after writing this review awhile back and for some illogical and immature reason, I decided to take it out on famous? Anyways.. apologies and will go back. read more

Best pizza in the area! We have lived in Newtown for over three years and have tried every spot within a 30 min drive. Bethel Famous Pizza is the best. Great pizza, friendly service (the owner introduced himself tonight), fairly priced, quality ingredients, and a great menu selection. We have done both dine in and take out...great experience either way. This is a family owned place that takes pride in pleasing customers and making a great pizza. The location is cool too...right on a bustling corner of Bethel's quaint village. We like the Hawaiian pizza, which has bacon, for a nice twist. Standard pepperoni or cheese pies are also great. It is always perfectly baked with a golden crust. The standard crust is just slightly thicker than a traditional New York style. It's pretty much a perfect pie. They also have fountain sodas, rather than just the single serve bottles like so many places in the area, which is great when you dine in. Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed. read more
