It was after a snow storm, but so glad they were open. We tried a custom pizza, fried mozzarella and clams. Everything we order tasted AMAZING! We were served by who I believe is the owner. Great energy from him. Very welcoming server/bartender. Next time we're in the area, we'll try other menu items. I know whatever we order will be delicious. Thank you!

The restaurant was so inviting with a mural of Italy with a Vespa and other coffee imagery. They played Italian music. They also sell pizza, gelato, coffee, cakes and canolis.

I am puzzled how there are so many great reviews for this establishment. I arrived at the top of…read morethe lunch hour and while there were a few getting take out, there was no one eating in. Should have been my first clue. The pizzas in the display case all looked enticing (although nothing labeled or priced) and I decided to get a Gramma slice along with the eggplant special listed for the day. I also got the ricotta/spinach bread showcased in the display case. I asked if the eggplant was a platter or a grinder/sandwich, and was told it was a sandwich. Great. Well, there was no grinder, no Italian bread, roll, but what looked to be either pizza or calzone dough made into bread like slices. Interesting. The taste wasn't great and it was difficult to pick up to eat without all falling apart, so I decided to remove the top piece of "bread" and eat it with a fork and knife. There was 1 piece of eggplant, 1 piece on each sandwich half. One. Eggplant Parm is cooked and then the slices layered, and usually there are at least 3-4 layers, but not this. The eggplant had many seeds in it indicating the eggplant is past its prime-not the freshest -and the seeds add a bitter taste. Not pleasing. Gobs of cheese atop the bread, but no Parmesan detected. The ricotta spinach was an inedible unappetizing mess of stringy cheese and overcooked spinach. The Gramma slice was ok but I would not return for this. The decor is great and the service was fine, but the food was not good and ended up in the garbage! Ugh! On street parking in downtown Bridgeport. I will not be returning nor recommending.

I always worry when big names with small town vibes begin to expand, and while I've never eaten at…read morethe original location, this one lived up to the hype I've heard. We walked in and were greeted immediately by everyone in the place as we walked by them. We were seated promptly and our waiter was helpful in introducing expectations of the style for us as first-timers. It wasn't overly crowded, the booth was in great shape, and we had plenty of space as two colleagues who enjoy pizza (sometimes fixed tables in booths can be a bit uncomfortable). We went with the benchmark, a medium cheese. It was excellent. The char was a smidge (and I mean it - barely) too much but it adds a layer of depth to any pizza. The cheese was perfectly melty, and while it looked like it might be messy, there was barely any flop. We also felt that a $20.50 medium cheese of this quality was worth the money (but a $3.75 fountain soda is mentally harder to cope with haha). But the total package price did seem fair considering! Pizza was probably an 8.3/10, service was excellent, so I'll round up to five stars!

If thin crust is your thing (like it's mine), you've gotta check this place out! It's primarily a delivery and takeout spot, so there are only a handful of seats inside, but if you do dine in it is BYOB so you can bring your bottle of wine or can of beer or hard seltzer and enjoy a hot fresh pizza right out of the oven! The fried mozz was good too, but I only tried it because I shared an order with others, it's not something I ever order on my own. If it's your thing, you'd enjoy it here but I want ALLLLL the pizzas! The Friday Shrimp Pie Specials, the Summer Pie (DON'T MISS THIS), tasted like some great New Haven style pizza with delicious sauce and thin crust and fresh high quality ingredients. I was in heaven! I actually went the first time with a group of friends and then insisted the hubby make this stop on our way home from NYC one weekend so he could try it, and I could have more of it! If I didn't live an hour away, this would be MY pizza spot! It's that good! The wings weren't bad, but this wouldn't be my go to wing spot. But everything else was phenomenal! When we were leaving the first time, a nice woman walking out behind us told us she goes there every week to pickup a grinder and that we should try those too! I think it was chicken parm she was talking about. The second time we went we saw two guys eating their pizza inside that were regulars and say they go there all the time too. So the locals know this is a great spot and I was so happy to see the support and the people willing to talk about how great they are and how they love supporting this small family owned business!

Def not what you expect when you're craving good wings(especially for the price I paid 8 "half" wings=$15). As for the pizza, I ordered a small pie thinking it would be a decent size to share or at least have leftovers but it was more like a personal pan pizza. That's how small it was. If you're really hungry, you'll def want to size up. The portion didn't match what I'd expect for a "small" at a typical pizza spot. The price was also high for personal pizza as well(about $13). I will say, the wings are usually good but just not today. The pizza itself tasted good, even though it could've used more cheese. They actually added sauce this time, which I appreciated because it's usually a bit dry. It was a bit oily as well. Overall, I gave it 2 stars. The flavor of the pizza saved it, but the wing quality & portion sizes were disappointing on this visit. My bf is the 1 who always chooses to eat here. I'm not a big fan. The place inside is a bit small but there's a couple of tables if you want to dine in. The cashier who took care of me was a little snotty. Could have been more nice especially w/ all the competition out there. Honestly, idk how this place stays afloat & so many ppl. like it.

If you love, pickles, you will love the pickle sandwich even more! I saw it being ordered while I was there and the customer raved about it. So that's definitely on my "to try" list next.

8 Thousand Pizza is a pizzeria and pour-your-own taproom that opened in Milford, Connecticut in…read moreNovember 2023. It was founded by restaurateurs Skye Kwok and Tommy Nguyen. Kwok has more than 20 years experience in the hospitality industry. Some of the other restaurants he has opened include Sweet Basil in Fairfield, Pink Sumo Sushi & Sake Cafe in Westport, and Eat Noodle in Bridgeport. Kwok and Nguyen's latest venture opened at the Connecticut Post Mall in a restaurant space that was previously home to Cast Iron Chef Kitchen & Bar, which specialized in tavern-style pizzas cooked in a cast-iron skillet. 8 Thousand Pizza offers this same style of pizza, but what sets them apart from the previous pizzeria is that they also offer self-pouring technology, which became legalized in Connecticut in 2021. The food menu features two dozen tavern-style pizzas as well as burgers, wings, fries, salads and soups. Through the use of a supplied electronic bracelet, customers can self-pour their own beverage from a selection of 28 craft beer taps and 6 wine taps. There's a two-pint or 32-ounce limit for the self-pours. I recently visited 8 Thousand Pizza for dinner. I had previously visited the space when it was Cast Iron Chef Kitchen & Bar and was sad to hear that they moved. However, this new business concept of a tavern-style pizzeria with self-pouring taps sounded very interesting to me. This was actually my first visit to a self-pouring taproom, as these types of establishments only just began opening in the state in the last few years. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Grandma's Tomato Pizza" (fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, roasted garlic, tomatoes and EVOO) and the "Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza" (tomato sauce, pepperoni, hot honey sauce and mozzarella cheese). The latter happens to be 8 Thousand's signature pizza. Both pizzas had crust so thin that it's almost cracker like; they didn't flop at all. They were super crispy with excellent sauce and toppings. I honestly can't decide which one I liked better; they were both very good. During my visit, I enjoyed some self-pours of Grey Sail Brewing's "Captain's Daughter" (Double New England IPA) and New Park Brewing's "Cloudscape" (American IPA). Delicious pizza with craft beer is always an excellent pairing! I had a really nice experience at 8 Thousand Pizza and I hope to return with my family.
