Got a large cheese and sausage and a small broccoli and both were very good. My personal favorite type of pizza is New Haven style, but this pizza would be second on my list, which seemed to be a cross between Greek and New York style IMO. Sausage was thinly sliced which I prefer over chunks and the broccoli pieces were nice and small, perfectly covering the whole pie. Good amount of cheese on both pizzas.

half pepperoni half chicken jalapeño pizza

Best pizza in Meriden hands down Ive been coming here for years and years and wont change because of the amazing pizza and great service, Gino gives me free seasoning all the time unlike other places making you pay a couple dollars for just a lil. Have to say if you thinking about getting pizza in Meriden you won't regret!!!!

I ordered a sausage, pepper & onion 10in grinder & the sausage was black & seemed to be from water that day.

My girlfriend ordered me a large sausage and onions pizza for my birthday for pick up and it was very good, had a generous amount of topping and also got some garlic knots with marinara sauce. If i was in the area i would definitely order again. Be sure to look on there menu for family deal options and other combo deals. read more

I love Gino's Pizza, look no further! The pizza is really good compared to others in the area. The crust is crunchy and delicious, and the sauce is top tier. We always get the pepperoni with garlic and it always comes out fantastic. The wings are also amazing as well, I love the Honey BBQ and Garlic Parm and they're a great price! 10 wings for $11? Yes, please! Everyone is super friendly and delivery is always fast and exceptional. I could not recommend this place more. read more

The guy at Gino was a pleasant person in the beginning I ordered tuna wrap and fries. The price was approximately 12 and after a few times he raised the price on me to $15 then told me he's going up on the price even more if he wants to that he didn't need my service so he became un fair customer service so I don't order food from this place very shady read more

Their website is deceiving as they offer you 15% discount for a first time ordering but when I called the Meriden location, I was told, that discount is only for 'pick-up'. Told the girl they should fix their website to state that! Also, they charge a flat fee 4.00 to deliver! That's outrageous unless they deliver every order right out of the oven to the house, but we all know they deliver several orders at a time. Also, their outrageous delivery charge also is NOT listed on their website. read more

First time and might be last. Ordered Sausage grinder and probably worst I have ever had. Sausage was dry and burnt as you can see.Sauce very rich. Haven't tried the cold Gino Special as we got that to bring for lunch tomorrow. Previous pizza photos look good so may try that someday but not sure. Thursday 6/22/2017 changed my review from a 2 to a 1. Most disgusting roast beef sandwich ever. Roast beef tasted like it was very old and had already started to get that bad smell.(should be fresh, and the girl taking order on phone said RB was rare so this was definitely old because it was well done) For a newly opened restaurant, you sure ARE NOT CARING WHAT YOU SERVE!!! Bad business......Bad food.....Never Again!! read more

New Restaurant! !! Place just opened in the old Dante's. Next to the new CVS. -Ordered a large plain cheese pizza and it was perfect. Thin crust well cooked, generous sauce. Cheese that stretches when you pull up your slice. Not in any way soggy. -Wings were solid. Not the greatest ever, but well above average and pretty darn good for delivery. -Chicken tenders were light and crispy. One of my favorites. -French fries were great seriously, the best I've had in a very long time.... crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle. -Quasadillas are huge. Salads are generous and farm fresh. Lots of veggies. Delivery was on time. Prices were fair, especially considering the portion size. Menu is extensive and thus, Gino's has become our go-to for delivery. read more

I was wondering why it was more then calculated off the menu so I called. She said there was a $3 delivery fee. It is not stated ANYWHERE on the menu . They told us about 45 min. Got here in a little over an hour. I signed the receipt & the driver said nothing for me ?! I said "yeah it's right here & handed him $3 in quarters cause that was all I had . He said "no forget it , I'm good" I said first off that's all I have & money is money & 2nd I already was charged $3 delivery fee . He said that's not for me , that's for my company ! Tried to give him $ again and he refused . SO RUDE and embarrassing!!!! The food was actually good but never ever will I go there again . I was disgusted by his rudeness.... read more

Literally my favorite restaurant in all of CT…read more i just got engaged yesterday, and me and my fiancée have been coming here for years. when i was thinking of spots for engagement dinner, i knew immediately. i always love coming in here, greeted with a super cozy vibe, and a very friendly host each time, and were served almost immediately after being seated. today, our experience was no different. we went with the meatballs and steak skewers for our appetizers, and they were a home run as per usual. for our mains, i got the grilled cheese sandwich with steak inside, cooked medium rare, with fries. my fiancée got the cobb salad with steak, and poppyseed vinaigrette. absolutely incredible as to be expected, i always get the biggest smile on my face when i bite into the food here. for dessert, we got the crème brûlée, which was a blueberry flavored version today. if i could give 6 stars, i would. this place makes me so happy. i urge everyone to come try this place!

A friend had recommended The Hideaway for wings a while back. Since then, a number of people…read morementioned them too. I recently visited. The Hideaway is a cool neighborhood bar. Not fancy. Just functional. I was there on an NFL Sunday. There were lots of regulars. There was good interaction with the staff. I didn't catch her name, but the woman who was the only person working the bar and waiting on the tables was amazing. She was super friendly to everyone. She hustled to meet everyone's needs. It wouldn't surprise me if she is an owner too. It's hard to find people, who aren't owners, who are that committed. I asked for a wing flavor recommendation and she said "Montreal Honey" first. I ordered 6. The wings are part-baked and then finished in a fryer. Good inner and outer texture. The Montreal Seasoning was right on. The Honey didn't have much of a presence either visually or flavor-wise. More was needed to balance the salt from the Montreal Seasoning and to justify the Honey in the name. I tried both the Blue Cheese and the Ranch. I'd recommend the Blue Cheese. I'll definitely return to try more wing flavors. I also ordered a crock of chili, which was full of ground beef and topped with melted cheddar and chopped red onions. The chili was solid. I'd probably try something else before I ordered it again though. I'm a fan of Hideaway and I'll be back. 4.25 Stars

Little Rendezvous

I'm going to skip past all my typical narrative about the restaurant ambiance, this is pizza, and…read morethe pizza is amazing!!! If you like New Haven style pizza, which is arguably the 'esemplare' of all pizza, then visiting The Little Rendezvous is a MUST visit if you live within 90-min. Plan a trip to visit some store you want to go to, a beach visit or whatever, just find a way to circle The Little Rendezvous into the trip! The crust is thin with a crackery-crunch, the sauce is at a another level and the mozz and roni are high-quality deliciousness! Rendezvous stands tall with any of the well known top-3 pizza joints in New Haven. Dave's score of 9.1 (if you are unaware of the reference, then pizza isn't your thing) is right on point, and I'd go as far as scoring it slightly higher at a 9.2 based on my visit. The building is something out of folklore. The building is all of about 20ft. wide, and when you enter, it is immediate, Steve (owner/chef) is all about the pizza. To be clear, most will consider Rendezvous to be take-out only. There is zero decor, less signs made with cardboard and sharpie notifying you that wait times of hours are real..... so be sure to call ahead. You walk past the most basic seating area of 3-4 small tables with bare walls, and then proceed to walk down an oddly long and narrow sloping hallway which leads you to the service counter/kitchen which houses the 130-year old oven! It's honestly something you could only imagine out of a movie...... the hole in the wall that is creating high-quality, delicious pizzas! Why or how you ask? The answer is simple, Steve! The guy clearly has a passion for making pizza and has dedicated his life to doing so. I met the 'man-the myth-the legend' on my visit, and he kindly even took the time to chat with me. Bucket-list item checked off! Overall score = 5.0!!!

Great spot. Not what I expected, I once lived in New Haven and am used to destination pizza. This…read morewas much more unassuming and better set up as a take out, but did not disappoint. We arrived early on, what I thought was off hours and ordered in person, the wait time was 4 hours. I don't live far so it was easy to come back. The dining area is tight and pretty basic, so plan on wooden bench in limited space if you are dining in. I would also recommend calling way in advance with your order. As far as pizza goes, I have had the opportunity to sample most of the high profile places and understand why this place deserves to be on the list. The crust is pretty fantastic and overall a really good pie. When we went, there was no line. The grab and go was super simple, cash only. Order ahead, plan accordingly, and enjoy.

A quick google search brought up Yelps top ten Diners in Meriden and what brought my attention to Huxley's was how open and spacious the layout was in the pictures. So glad we choose to try it out... Jamie was an incredible waitress from beginning to end. We had questions from the menu because it was our first time and we wanted to make some substitutions. Not a problem and every thing was right! Not only were our orders exactly how we imagined them, the food came out before we knew it! We made a joke while eating that we would've still been waiting if we had gone anywhere else. Extra lemons for our waters and hot fresh coffee when we ran out, Jamie was truly aware of not only us but her other guests needs as well. The menu had us deep in thought because we wanted to try everything. We love a good omelette so I knew either way we were ordering one. Made to order and it was exactly what my girlfriend was craving. The fried egg sandwich with ham and bacon on a roll was on point with delicious freshly made home fries. French toast was made to perfection for us to share so we could get a little bit of everything. This was truly an incredible experience that we'll not only be back again for ourselves but when we have family visiting and need somewhere accommodating for larger parties. Not only do they have the space with large booths, Huxley's provides a great experience which is hard to come by. Come by and check them out!!

I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars

My boyfriend was over and we couldn't decide what to eat for dinner. I just got out of work and didn't feel like cooking a whole meal. I remembered I had received a menu from Gino's Pizza in the mail the previous day and wanted to try a new place. My boyfriend isn't from the area and every time we order take out he complains about the food. So I suggested Gino's, heard great things about it and figured why not? Delivery was fast and the food was fantastic. My boyfriend was still raving about it the next day. He is very particular about what he eats so the fact that he enjoyed the meal so much and so did I, says a lot for the quality of the food. Great Place! Just put the people at my job onto Gino's for lunch. Rave reviews! Large portions! Must Try! Gino's Pizza will definitely be my number 1 spot. Best Pinnini I've ever eaten. read more
