Magherita pizza w/Prosciutto
Michele C.

Stopped in for dinner this evening. Restaurant wasn't very busy when we got there. We were immediately greeted by a server as we were seated at a booth. Booth was very uncomfortable, didn't have much room if you're not a thin person. We opted to move to the bar. Service was very good. The bartender, server and the person delivering the food were very attentive. The restaurant was very clean. We ordered the pretzel bites from the happy hour menu and a medium magherita pizza with prosciutto added. The pizza was way too saucy and the sauce was sweet. The prosciutto was very tough I think because it wasn't cut thin enough. The pretzel bites were good but small and in my opinion overpriced at $7. Yeah... $15.50 for a tall Tito's that I didn't ask for is absolutely egregious! Will never return.

Food and drinks were delicious. They gave us complimentary bread even though they knew we were dining in for happy hour which was nice. The bread was soooo good and garlicky. Meatball was delicious and very flavorful, as was the pizza. Taking off one star because service was very bad. It took 20-30 minutes after we were done eating to get our check. However, this was the week before Christmas so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt

Stuffed eggplant

I have eaten here 30 times. The pizza is excellent and most dishes are amazing, but last night I asked for a Negroni and they charged me $18.50 for it. I haven't paid that much for this standard cocktail in my life, not even NYC. This was not a special request. I didn't make any requests regarding gin etc. just said "Negroni." A large pie was $20, stuffed eggplant was $20 and Negroni 18.50, club soda with lime. Our check $71. $15 tip. $86. 2 people. No appetizers at a "tavern." Man, things have gotten out of control.

The First and Last Tavern franchise has four locations in the greater Hartford area, and today we visited our third one. We had lunch at Glastonbury's First and Last and it was a pleasant meal in a familiar setting. The booths, the paneling, the bar, the bread basket, and the menu all rang true. Maybe this dining room is a lot smaller than the cavernous one at our home base in Avon, but Avon is a lot darker because they don't have nearly as many windows and natural light as Glastonbury did. We ordered an Antipasto salad $10.75) and a Margherita pizza with prosciutto ($21.45). A club soda with an unsolicited refill was a reasonable $2.95. The Antipasto was great. A big portion of all sorts of goodies -chickpeas, pepperoncinis, onions, tomatoes, marinated peppers, olives, a ton of salami and prosciutto, half a hard boiled egg, all piled high on cold fresh lettuce. No quarrels with the pizza either - it was big, stacked with toppings, great sauce and cheese on a thin crust. Two thirds of this haul came home with us, so we will easily have four (or more portions) for the $32 food cost. So having visited First and Last in Glastonbury, Plainville and Avon, we just need to patronize Hartford to have seen them all.

Stopped in First and Last in Glastonbury after I went to pick up my car at Monaco Ford right down the street. The locals said it was a great place to get a bite to eat. Restaurant is in an area that has other entertainment and restaurants in their downtown area. Cute restaurant with just the right vibe for casual dining. They have loads of booths and tables. We sat at a booth. First and Last has brick oven pizza, burgers, grinders, every kind of pasta entrée you can think of, family dinners, panini, salads, house made desserts, and a great lunch menu. Something for everyone. A big basket of seasoned bread came to the table. Pretty good. I chose the Chicken Milanese which comes with a panko breaded cutlet, greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cheese shavings in a lemon dressing. Very good. Hubby got the Chicken Parmesan which he said was good. Decent amount of pasta with the chicken. All in all a decent place to get a bite to eat.

This is my first time here! I'm not used to "pub" food. Here is there mission statement: "Since 1936, First & Last Tavern has been connecting with local communities through food, service, and ambiance. We aim for high quality food and service in a comfortable tavern setting. Our Italian accented menu features many classics such as pizza, panini, and pasta, along with salads, burgers, wings, and more. All of our restaurants are family run which allows us to engage with our guests and continually tailor the menu to what they want. Our goal is to get to know you, improve ourselves every day, and exceed your expectations." I've been told today that my cholesterol is high so I need to be mindful of what I'm eating now (less red meat , cheese, etc). My blood pressure appears to be normal. This is a busy place. It could use some music . It's really quiet in here except for the screaming kids (right near the bar). They have Happy Hour 3-6 M-F. The menu looks food and I did notice one very unique item - a "fried sausage" grinder. I've never heard of frying sausages. For my first drink , I'm having "The Boss" which is house bourbon (Old Crow? What is that?), sweet vermouth and bitters served up/neat (martini ) or on the rocks . It's garnished with two maraschino cherries on a skewer. That's odd. I've been here a half hour now (and have a drink so that's good ), but the bartender has not asked me if I want anything to eat. The bar crowd appears to be very "seasoned" as well (at 55 years old, I am by far the youngest at this bar). The drink is pretty decent I'll give them that. Old Crow is a low-priced brand of Kentucky-made straight bourbon whiskey distilled by Beam Suntory, which also produces Jim Beam and several other brands of whiskey . The current Old Crow product uses the same mash bill and yeast as Jim Beam, but is aged for a shorter period of time. It tastes like Jim Beam; not my favorite, but it's drinkable. For my first food item (half hour later I was asked), I am having 5 Bluepoint oysters . Blue Point Oysters have largely become a generic name for oysters harvested from multiple locations anywhere in the Long Island Sound in the New York & Connecticut oyster region. The result is that the flavor & brininess is all over the spectrum, from boring to quite good. They are a Bottom Cultured Oyster . Yummy ! These are pretty big. For my next item, I'm having a "Chopped Salad " made with chopped "veggies", iceberg and romaine , champagne vinaigrette dressing and crumbled blue cheese (half for me). I'm not sure this is "half" the blue cheese but it is what it is. It is pretty good . Colorful. Includes carrots red peppers and asparagus (?; an unusual ingredient in a salad ). They use ceramic plates, disposable napkins and metal utensils . Music finally playing at 5:15 PM. The couple to my right only had one seat to sit in so three of us moved over to make room. We're all in this together so be courteous! For my next drink , I'm having "The Executive" made with house vodka, olive juice, Three Olives Vodka and is served up (martini ). This is tasty ! These martinis are both $6 so you can't go wrong with the price. Not bad. Not very dirty but it has bite. For my entrée, I'm having the "Chicken Marengo" which is boneless breast of chicken , tomatoes , mushrooms , lemon and roasted potatoes . Chicken Marengo is an Italian dish consisting of a chicken sautéed in oil with garlic and tomato, garnished with fried eggs and crayfish. The dish is similar to chicken à la Provençale, but with the addition of egg and crayfish, which are traditional to Chicken Marengo but are now often omitted. This is damn good ! My complements to the chef ‍! What's there to eat around here? I'm starving! I literally ate and drank more than the couple next to me! Why didn't I get the complementary bread ?! No more alcohol tonight. For my next drink, I'm having a "fresh squeezed lemonade." I haven't had this in years! Nice lemon garnish. Not bad. Not too strong or "lemony" . Two guys next to me ordered Old Fashioneds. Let's see what happens. Oh boy . Not good . Lots of ice cubes. Too much liquid. For dessert , I'm having their "Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting." Wow ! This is good ! It's a big slab. Unique taste I love the cream cheese frosting. Strange how they serve it with a spoon . I like the sugar powder sprinkled about. I asked them to microwave it a bit to soften up the frosting which they did! For my final drink, I'm having an espresso. A nice meal if I do say so!

Eggplant Pizza
Jason P.

I don't always show it, but I appreciate the longtime classic area restaurants that were doing things better than most places long before the TV/Internet/Social Media Food Boom helped set the stage for modern food prodigies being able to more easily learn their crafts. The Rein's Deli Reuben. Pho 501's Pho with Tai Chin. And First and Last Tavern's Eggplant Pizza. I recently ordered F&L's Eggplant Pizza via DoorDash, and my order was fulfilled by the Glastonbury F&L. However, I'm really going to focus on the whole F&L Brand. F&L is not currently one of my favorite places to get pizza. However, it is the area pizza restaurant that I am most fond of because of 20+ years of workday meetings with F&L pizza, and the dinners with friends and date nights with my wife at the OG Hartford location. And F&L's Eggplant pie has long been one of my favorite area specialty pizzas. F&L's Eggplant Pizza is topped with breaded and fried, thin, full-circle, slices of eggplant cutlets, mozzarella, ricotta, basil and sauce. Think Eggplant Parm on top of a good pizza crust. I don't frequently order eggplant pizza at other pizza places, but when I do, I never like it as well as F&L's. As I do with all DoorDash deliveries, I'm grading this Eggplant Pizza on a slight curve since it has to withstand the delivery process. The pizza definitely loses its peak without the gooey cheese that exists when they pull it from the oven, but it's still a darn good pizza. The eggplant seems to cover more than half the pizza, and the ingredients compliment each other very well. I photographed the pizza after I lifted the lid and you can see that most of the juices had settled at that point. That's what happens when you order pizza delivery two towns over. I will say that it didn't seem to be cooked evenly throughout for some reason. Many bites were trademark crispy/good chewy, but some were a bit doughier. While I typically like F&L pizza and grinders, I generally am less fond of their entrees at the various locations. In this regard, I ordered a sausage and meatball app as well. The sauce (which seems like F&L's long time red sauce) is below average for me. The meatball and sausage were both average. 4 Stars for the Eggplant Pizza. 2.5 Stars for the sausage and meatball App. I landed at 3 Stars overall, but I will continue to order the Eggplant Pizza occasionally. On a final note, if anybody at F&L reads this, PLEASE bring back the Bakery Cafe!!!!!

Apple of my ay-ay-ay (fall 2023 cocktail)

Came here before an event nearby and was pleasantly surprised but our meal, especially given the current 3-stars on Yelp upon my visit. Is it the best pizza you'll ever have? Probably not, but First & Last has been doing their thing for a long time and it shows! This Glastonbury location is fairly new compared to the others and they were packed on a Saturday night. We arrived pretty early (before 5pm) and were seated right away. They had some fun fall cocktail specials so we treated ourselves to those and enjoyed their complimentary focaccia bread - which was amazing! You smell it immediately upon entering so I was excited to see it was given to us right as we were seated. We split two small pizzas and a caesar salad. The dressing didn't really taste like caeser to me...didn't have much flavor and it was extra creamy. I suspect they don't make it with anchovies and so it's missing that umami flavor. For pizzas, we got the broccoli specialty pie and made our own with pepperoni and garlic. We LOVED the broccoli pie that was super cheesy and were fans of their mini pepps on the pepperoni pie. All around great meal and would definitely come back! Would I wait over 30+ minutes for a table if they were super busy though? Unsure.

Also, the Chick-fil-A drive thru which dominates the three restaurants in the building was jammin. So cars were coming and going like it was rush-hour on the Long Island Expressway. We ordered at the counter, and the food was delivered to us at our table. There were two televisions, going one with a football game on it from I don't know where or who is playing, and the Senate hearings were going on another television. In the background was music. It was a little busy noise wise to say the least. I ordered a lamb Gyro, , which which included tzatziki sauce, cucumber, tomato, and onion. Also included with this order, were shoestring french fries that were well seasoned, crisp, and on point. The fries reminded me of McDonald's. Also included was a fountain drink. The restaurant was slow, with one party of two just finishing up when we walked in. I saw only one other customer walk in when we were eating. So in other words, this place was dead. Jersey Mike's next-door was hopping, along with two doors down Chick-fil-A. Lunch was quite expensive at $32 for two. My friend had a cheesesteak with fries which didn't look big at all. All in all, I don't see the value here. The food was good, but really pricey. This was a destination to try once. On the way out, I did notice pizzas on the counter selling per slice. Those didn't look appetizing. With so many restaurants in Glastonbury, there are many better choices than this On a positive note, it was nice seeing the lamb carved from a spit that was going behind the counter.

I recently had a very disappointing experience with a delivery and so far have not had a good experience trying to get some positive resolution. I ordered a pizza to be delivered to an elderly friend directly from Lunas website. There was no indication that Luna did not directly handle the delivery. The pizza was left on the outside doorstep.. the delivery person never knocked or rang the doorbell. My friend looked out and saw the pizza and when it was brought in it was cold and unappetizing. When i called Luna the manager said it was a doordash delivery and so, their problem. He offered no resolution. I called doordash and was told since the order came through the luna website, ( not through doordash) luna received the money and they were the ones who should issue a refund or discount! I called luna again and left a detailed message for the manager.. who has not returned my call! I am still hoping they will do the right thing... my message here is... eat onsite at Luna... the pizza and service are very good. Beware of delivery through their website as delivery is contracted out and luna takes no responsibility for how delivery is executed or any impact on food quality.

Slice Works - Glastonbury…read more Walk in and the first thing you feel is it's not just a pizza spot, it's a place with purpose. Bright, welcoming, no attitude. The kind of place where you actually want to hang out for a minute, not just grab a slice and bolt. The walls, the energy, even the kids' drawings... it all leans into community. And that's not by accident. Slice Works is known for creating real opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They're not just "hiring", they're building confidence, skills, and a sense of belonging. That matters. A lot. It's the kind of mission that lines up perfectly with what Dough Daddy is about, food bringing people together, giving back, and creating something bigger than what's on the plate. Now let's get to the slices. Grandma Slice * Medium thickness, right in that sweet spot, not too heavy, not too thin * Sauce-forward in the best way possible * Sweet and savory tomatoes in perfect balance acid/sweet working together, garlic bringing that low-key punch * Thinly sliced garlic that doesn't smack you, just taps you on the shoulder and says "I'm here" * Cheese plays a supporting role, and that's the right call * Dough is well-developed, holds up, and has a tender interior with just enough structure Translation: The sauce is the star, and everything else knows its role. Sicilian Slice * Thicker, more substantial * Less sauce, more cheese * Sauce is good, but intentionally less aggressive than the Grandma * Smart build, nothing fighting for attention * Dough, cheese, and sauce all working together instead of trying to win MVP Translation: This one's about balance. No hero, just a strong team effort. Undercarriage Check * Legit. * Nice char, structure holds, no flop issues * You're not wearing this slice, you're eating it And then... the closer. Foxon Park White Birch You already know. If you don't, now you do. That crisp, clean, slightly nostalgic bite cuts right through the richness and resets your palate for the next bite like a pro. Final Take * Great pizza * Even better mission * The kind of place you root for Strong Buy. Highly recommended.

I really wanted to like this place, I really did. However it seemed to fall short on many levels…read moreand I struggled with the 3-star rating because it really could have been better. I stopped in for a takeout lunch and grabbed four slices and a drink. Normally when I try a pizza place I go for the plain cheese slice first (b/c if you can't do that well I'm not interested in anything else) but they didn't have any available so I'll go slice by slice with this review. First up was the White Pizza, simple pie with Ricotta, Mozzarella and Parmigiano. This wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't very flavorful. Most places will use a garlic and herb base or something to give it some extra flavor but this was just ok. The Chicken-Bacon-Ranch was probably the best of the four I tried, though it was a little light on the toppings. If it had a bit more chicken and/or bacon I would have enjoyed it a lot more than I did but overall it was good, but could be much better. The Buffalo Chicken pizza was not what I am used to. I'm spoiled by the version that Hometown Pizza does where the chicken chunks are breaded and sauced and the finished pie is topped with bleu cheese dressing. This was a pizza with shredded chicken and hot sauce so, technically buffalo chicken but like the other slices, lacking on the toppings so hard to say it was anything other than just "OK". The Big Mac slice was really the biggest disappointment. First off, the Big Mac is a BURGER and there was hardly any burger on the pizza at all. Though there were some sesame seeds present there were none on the crust. The primary toppings here seem to be the 'sauce' and lettuce which tasted more like Russian dressing than "Big Mac" sauce. It's a nice enough place, cozy inside and the staff is friendly for the most part, I wouldn't mind sitting down for a nice lunch but, as many others have mentioned there are a LOT of good pizza places within a short distance so I'm not sure I'll be coming back anytime soon. I'm not sure why they're so light on the toppings but if your slice pies are that skimpy there's no way I'd order a whole pie. Barely three stars.

On the wall they have awards they've received from 2011 to 2025, all for being in the top 10 restaurants. It was a bit awkward being the only ones here, but there are bigger issues in the world. Their menu offers pizzas, pasta, gyros, salads and more. We first got an order of their sautéed calamari. This had a nice tender and chewy texture. This is unlike what most places offer. The sauce was also very flavorful, we actually ate it by the spoonful like a soup. Their garlic bread was great for dipping into the sauce. Not a very garlicky garlic bread but not bad. We all got some variation of the gyro, with salad, fries or rice. Mine was with the Greek Salad. This Greek Salad was very fresh and the feta cheese on it sealed it all together. Unfortunately the lamb in the gyro was very overcooked and dry. It wasn't good at all. The tzatziki sauce is always a favorite. Overall I wasn't super impressed with my meal. I might stop by sometime in the future and try something else.
