One of the best pizza spots around. Dining area is very small, and wait time is a little long but it's worth the wait.

Garlic Bread with Cheese
Vivian H.

Finally has a chance to check out Fuoco while we were in the area. We went on a Saturday around 4:30ish. Were able to snag a seat, which we timed right as when we sat down it stated getting busy. No one comes to your table rather you go up to the counter and order and they bring it out to you. We started with garlic bread with cheese which was huge and delicious. My partner got his normal cheese pizza and I opted for bread chicken and roasted red peppers. Both of us very happy with our pizza. Great ingredients good chat. Only thing was sauce a little sweet but not a deal breaker. Can't wait to come back.

The New Haven Pizza.
Rob S.

On a Sunday afternoon trying to avoid the Jets continue to ruin my life, I was inspired to head from Watertown for pizza. Originally, I was heading to Pepe's in Waterbury, but decided to go two more exits to give Fucco's a shot after hearing so much about it from the famous experts. It was really good. Completely NOT a substitute for Sally's, Little Rendezvous, Pepe's or the other pillars of coal-fired pizza in the area - but it's on par with the best of the Torrington-area pizza spots making some noise north of New Haven. I ordered the Wooster. I loved their sauce. The garlic and tomatoes were perfect. Of all the aforementioned places around, these tomatoes are the most flavorful. The crust was good. Edges had a nice char. Closer to the middle was floppy. But that's the pice you pay for the good and rich tomato sauce. All in all, tasted delicious. I'd be thrilled if it was my local pizza joint - but it's not in the same air as the big guys. I also ordered a house salad which was fantastic. Borderline amazing for the venue. I went off the Italian script and got their chipotle dressing. Really fresh. Excellent. Regarding service, I have to be honest and I don't like the order at the counter and just have food runners business model. It detracted from my experience at Marzano in Torrington and here at Fucco's, too. Brings up so many other questions regarding tip and more drinks, etc. Don't love it. But I get it. Hard/impossible to find staff. With the service model and size of the tiny dining room - I'd file Fucco's as essentially take out only. If I'm in town, I'll be back. But if I'm headed that direction, there's no way I'm passing Pepe's or traveling only another 15 min to Little Rendezvous.

The Bernardi
Leah S.

Fuoco Apizza definitely lets its pizza do the talking! We started with the Caprese salad which was very fairly portioned for two people and abundant with toppings. The Bernardi pie was excellent - a great ratio of meatballs, ricotta, and sauce!! We actually liked how there was not mozzarella on this pie as we were better able to focus on the ricotta flavor. An overall unique dining experience by ordering at the counter as well as BYOB for all beverages as the only offerings are Foxon Park sodas and bottle water... We were told they do not serve tap water! We felt lucky to have gotten a table on a weeknight as there are only seven tables inside. They do appear to have some tables outside for warmer weather! Also the take out service seemed very busy!

It seems a lot bigger then it is. Parking is a fair size in the back, but takes forever to get out thanks to the lights. There is warm weather seating outside, and about fiv me tables or so inside. The pizza was good for pizza, but honestly not outstanding. IMHO, their clams could have used a sauce. It has a nice crisp, and the crust was thin. The cashier would bring your order to the table. Water is bottle, soda is Kool and apparently you can BYOB (at least according to the couple next to is!).

The menu
Rusty O.

Pulled into Fuoco Apizza at around 12:15 PM on a Friday afternoon. Easy parking in the back of the restaurant. Rear entrance to the restaurant with no steps so handicapped accessible is really good. When I think Fuoco, I'm thinking rock 'n' roll heavy metal hard hitting in your face pizza. What I got was a bougie young lady sending out the vibe that we are lucky to be there. Glanced at the menu, and ordered a large pizza with sausage. Also ordered two of the East Haven drinks which where I think 32 ounces each. Now here's where it gets hoity-toity and disrespectful, keep in mind, this is Cheshire, and not in a high crime area so... We pre-pay for the frekin pizza and include a tip. My thoughts kick in.... So we're gonna sit down and eat this pizza but beforehand, predict what kind of tip for service we're gonna leave. And I'm looking at this bougie girl showing no respect to me, and I'm wondering no tip, 5%, 10%, or whatever....but I went with 20%. After about a 15 minute wait the pizza arrives. The sausage was lightly spread on the pizza, almost like they're weighing out a quarter of a pound. I was not used to seeing this little sausage on a pizza. And my opinion, much more sausage was needed on the pizza. The pizza sauce was unflavored, and needed spices and salt. It was almost like it was out of a plain tomato sauce can. The cheese was on point, with a nice taste and perfectly spread with a generous amount. The crust had a New Haven vibe, burnt around the edges crispy, a little bit burnt on the bottom, and definitely New Haven style. There was a serious flop to the pie though. The first bite proved this pizza needed something. I asked for the Parmesan cheese and salt. I also added the crushed hot pepper flakes. This jazzed it up a little bit. This was not the best pizza or even close to the best pizza I've had. So driving one hour to taste this arguably in your face pizza, became a disappointment The restrooms were clean. The tables are clean, and the inside decoration to me is overrated. I don't like the half booth with chairs on the other side of the table. So as I sit here writing this review, I am between a three and a four. I wanna say this place is overrated, but I'll probably catch flack for it. So I'm gonna give it three stars Fuoco, If you're gonna act online like the pizza is in your face, hard hittin, and heavy metal, maybe change the vibe from what is actually experienced from your guests! What you are... you are bougie, with staff treating us like we should be thankful we're in there. Your pizza is overrated I'm sorry to say this is a one and done for me. Roseland, Zuppardi's , and Christo's are a lot better choice. In my opinion, this is not a top 5, nor top 10 in Connecticut for pizza. Top 20 maybe

Cheese, sausage, meatballs, roasted peppers, and big fresh mushrooms.

Coal fired oven, thin crust pizza. If you like thin crust pizza like I do, you'll love Fuoco Apizza too. We went here after reading good things about it. I'm glad we did. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our pizza was ordered and delivered to our table in about 15 minutes. It was bigger than we expected. The toppings were loaded all over the chewy thin crust pizza with the perfect char on the crust. The store is bright enough and clean. I knew we were in for a treat when as I was holding the door for exiting patrons they volunteered that the pizza was very good. My excitement was justified. We will be back.

Lisa F.

Some of the best pizza in CT, no doubt about it. I've been a few times now and it hasn't disappointed at all. Small area for inside dining, small patio outside as well. You won't go wrong with whatever you order! Great char, stable slices, and toppings on point. Love it!

5.15.25 Decent prices
Hank R.

5.13.25 Another outstanding win with a pizza place. Their pizzas have been nothing short of amazing. Delicious and spot on every time. Started coming here very recently and have become a regular in a short amount of time. They have your pizza ready in no time. We didn't have to wait long at all. Perfectly cooked to perfection. This is my 2nd of the three kings of pizza as they call themselves. And they're pretty close to that make with their pizza making skills. They have just the right amount of char on their pizzas. There's a decent size parking lot behind their building. A long narrow hallway you enter through the back door which opens up to their dining and the pickup counter. The restaurant itself is simply decorated and is always been very clean when I've been here lately. The service is nice and attentive.

Spinach and ricotta
Claudine R.

Finally tried Fuoco's! I called in 3 small pizzas to go: soppressata, spinach and ricotta, and garlicky shrimp. I asked the lady that we needed 40 minutes for pick-up, and it was ready when we got to the restaurant. We enjoyed all of the pies. But I think the crowd favorite was the garlicky shrimp. I'm not usually a big fan of seafood on my pizza, but wow, this really surprised me. The soppressata was really good with added onions. Next time, I'm trying the moneyhots for some spicy treat! The pizza was super thin, with a perfect char, and no flop. I can't wait to go back!

Enxhi B.

I got my hair done and by the time I was done it was lunchtime and I was hungry. Hubby came to pick me up and Fuoco was on the same street so we decided let's go get pizza. It was a good choice because the pizza was delish. Definitely will return and recommend to others!

Brianna I.

Omgg!! My coworker and I were in Connecticut for work and our other coworker recommended us this gem. Such a great pizza spot in Cheshire, CT! It's walk in and order over the counter type of service. Kind of small shop, but they did have tables inside and outside if you wanted to eat there. The customer service was friendly and quick. I got the gluten free cauliflower crust pizza and my coworker got the regular crust one and both were amazing!!!

Burrata pizza
Brit B.

I was so excited to try this place and it truly lived up to the hype! We came here at around 5pm on a Friday to dine in and I was surprised to see some tables available! The space is small and feels nice and rustic. We ordered at the counter and our food took less than 15 minutes to come out. We got the Philly egg rolls to start and we loved those. I got a small pizza with breaded chicken and eggplant which was delicious. I ordered it light bake because I'm not huge on char and it was perfect. Their pizza sauce is just spectacular. I would definitely buy it if they sold it. My husband got the burrata which he enjoyed but felt needed more prosciutto. We can't one to come back to dine in again! Carry out was very busy though so be sure to order early!

I loved how inviting the dim environment with all their glowy lights was. I sat at the bar where this sweet bartender Liz helped me select a drink off of their extensive, delicious, looking creative menu. I started off with the cucumber gimlet given I needed something refreshing after running 3 miles. All the drinks were divine. The salad was perfect. I got my dressing on the side as well as their sweet citrus on the side but they know their stuff bc the cider vinegarette couldn't have paired better . I just say, and I feel this is most important other than the patient and menu guidance via Liz, this dirty pickle martini (which is subbed with gin) was the besttt martini I've EVERRRRRR had in my life. They make their own pickle juice here in house to mimic grillos pickles as much as possible. They are spot on, if not even better. I love this place. Everything about it is great, ambiance, staff, vibes, and most importantly their menu and the taste of their items in their menu. DIVINE. I will be back, maybe endlessly whenever I can .

Then came this past Thanksgiving weekend where it required traveling on I-84 from Cape Cod to get to Danbury and my mom, sister and I decided to try you out. Now, I am in the dog house because they want to know when the next time that we are going. I had the chicken club and it was absolutely delicious. A huge piece of chicken with plenty of flavor. My sister had the short rib sandwich and was raving about it once we continued our drive saying she was so glad she had it even though she had short ribs herself for dinner the previous night. I don't know if that's an indictment on her cooking or what, but she loved it. The star however was the cod dinner that mom had. It was one of the flakiest and freshest pieces of fish she had ever had. We got a very late start to our trip, so by the time 2:00 came on the Saturday afternoon came, we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The only gripe that we had ( not that we necessarily would have changed anything ) was that we noticed after we ordered that the table next to us got a specials menu and we didn't. It was nice and quiet as our waitress let us have a quiet late lunch and if we were ever in the area ever again, we would make a b-line back to the restaurant.

Everything was clean and new and they have a menu of dry aged steaks , tacos and other items in their regular part of the restaurant which is quite large as well.

It was beautifully decorated with flowers welcoming you right in. And so did the people inside! John Franco immediately came over and introduced himself and offered us seating inside the dining room, bar area or the outdoor patio. We chose a quiet corner in the dining area but still close to the bar. It was perfect. He was very friendly and attentive and helped us with the menu because I always have a hard time deciding. I started with a red Cabernet wine. Bread and a complimentary bell pepper mix tossed in oil and spices was brought to the table. I don't eat anything spicy so I wish they had left it off but my niece enjoyed it and it did not go to waste. We ordered the shrimp bruschetta for an appetizer. Although I expected something different from the description on the menu, we had no complaints, it was delicious and creamy. For our meal, I was so excited to hear they had a cheese wheel that was brought out to the table! It was the highlight of our dining experience! And the pasta was the best part! It was cooked to perfection and the flavor was just right. You get to choose your pasta dish to be tossed in the cheese wheel and we chose the bucatini cacio e Pepe made with a creamy pecorino Romano sauce and crushed black pepper. After our second glass of wine and the carb overload we still saved room to have dessert. We ordered the espresso martini cocktail and one chocolate mousse cake and a cannoli ice cream to share. It was a great ending to a great Sunday evening. Honestly a really all around great experience. I'll be back for happy hour and ladies night! Can't wait!
