First off, Grand has great pizza service and people. I've eaten there multiple times. This review is about my mess up. I screwed up a pizza truck reservation for my house and party. Mike was amazing and understanding about it. I probably wouldn't have been if I were in his position. I recommend him and Grand for their food and professionalism. read more

Awful pizza, poorly made with cheap ingredients and flimsy crafting, a mess really and no flavor Also, rude careless servers, not a nice place, dont bother. Shoreline usually is a good place to dine so this was a shock. read more

My previous reviews note my love for New Haven style pizza. Growing up in NJ it's hard for me to admit it's simply better than NY style. Was helping a friend move in Madison, he thanked us by bringing Grand to the house for lunch - I think I'm in love. Even take out pizza maintained that fantastic New Haven crust. Pizza was thin, ample, and perfectly cooked. The best part, it's not exactly like Pepe's or Sally's - it's as if really good NY style melded with really good New Haven Apizza Hope he invites me back to the area for more. It's too far south for me to justify by myself. But I would ABSOLUTELY take the hour drive with family or friends as a destination pizza spot on a weekend. read more

Advertise pizza slices but only had one slice of pepperoni or broccoli at 5:00 pm. It was like a SNL skit going through a list of choices... all out. Small Caesar salad, which was fine but not remarkable, was $10 with tax. Server was pleasant enough, but didn't apologize for unavailability of requests until the end when she asked how everything was and I told her "disappointing". She got a tip. Not her fault that the Kitchen logistics were pitiful. read more

Very minimal chicken in the chicken parm. Ask staff if normal and said yes after sending back. Total rip off and management didn't care after speaking with them. Plenty of other options - please avoid! read more

We ordered our fav broccoli rabe- it was very delicious. The chicken parm sauce was yummy, but the chicken pieces came in large chunks, nor the usual flat cutlet. It was weird. Service today was slow and not personable. We also ordered a small pizza-margarita. Always super good. read more

The best pizza in shoreline CT. Wonderful service and the various sandwiches are good too!

This place is definitely up there with my top five pizza places! We ordered a 2/3 bacon and 1/3 buffalo chicken. The bacon was so crispy and crunchy and the buffalo chicken was also flavorful. We also ordered a side of fries that were crispy and delicious. Our server was quick and brought everything we needed read more

food: good, not great. Solid pizza when it's fresh. Service: inattentive, dismissive, rude. Waitress brought wrong food and claimed it was close enough. had to speak to several people to get it refunded. Witnessed owner yelling at customers having a kid's birthday party who wanted some help with bussing tables. Owner yelled at the guests and told them to finish and get out. He looked like he was going to hurt them. read more

We asked for lightly baked and got burned Must be a thing Otherwise just okay Crust was too thin to support just two toppings read more

The cheese pie is bland and forgettable. The service is atrocious. This is the easiest 1/5 in a while.

Great service great pizza! David was correct this is a great New Haven style pizza. It's a simple place reminder of New Haven

Grand Apizza Madison is JUST WONDERFUL!!! The very best indescribably good Pizza and People in CT!!! Simply delicious food!!! Their Eggplant Parmesan is divine, too!

Might be one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. This style of pizza is amazing. You gotta try it.

I have been going to Grand for many years. Many people will say one side of the story and to do not explain their own rude behavior, especially toward the staff. Mike is an excellent boss and will always protect his staff. I have know the Nuzzo family for many years and they would give you the shirt off their back. They serve the community in many ways and continue to give without ever asking for anything in return. read more

the pizza was full of water and had no taste. It was bland for 25 dollars. The service was slow.

So for a New Haven Apizza outside of New Haven this is excellent!! There are better "appizzas" in the city, this satisfied my craving while I was in the area. I had the sausage and onion, it was cooked perfectly with a nice char and bubbles! Reasonably priced too! read more

Stopped in for lunch on a locals recommendation. Had the margarita and white pie. Sooooo good! They can pretty make make whatever kind of pizza you can dream of! Crisp and crunchy and no flop! Waitress was nice and the town is so darn cute it makes you feel Like you are visiting family. Stop by and check it out! read more

Best pizza in the area. I always order pizza from here if I'm not around New Haven and their quality is very consistent and good. Pizza doesn't have much flop as long as you don't load it up with toppings, there special is very good and there vegan options are also tasty. read more

Pizza was really good, but was disappointed in the service to be honest. We ordered 2 Pizza's, the pepperoni and peppers, and the sausage and Rabe. They forgot the Sausage on the one pizza and had to fire a new one. Only after I got the attention of another employee because our server didn't come back to check on us. Once we got the new pizza it was wonderful. Might have just been an off night for them, but the pizza was great. read more

Grand Apizza has become my family and my new go to pizza place! Everything on the menu is so reasonably priced and delicious!! The meatballs are so yummy and you get 2 big meatballs for $8. The pizzas are also always amazing. It's a cute small place that will treat you like your family. The service is always great and the pizza is just absolutely amazing!! My family loves the meatball and hot cherry pepper pizza! For further review, check out @gbennieats on Instagram read more

Grand is our local pizza joint. The space is unique given the arrangement of two retail spaces they occupy. Booth seating, placemat menus, bottled sodas, we've seen it all before. Servers are efficient although not engaged. Happily we come for the pizza and it never disappoints. Thin crust, tasty red sauce and lots of topping choice. Stay away from the bacon! Anything else is good. If you're hungry for a good pizza, Grand in Madison or Guilford is your destination. read more

Absolutely baffled why people enjoy this cardboard. You can't taste the cheese, the crust is incredibly chewy not chewy just unmalleable. Do you understand? read more

The pizza was okay. We got three for takeout and I appreciated the ingredients on the veggie one. The crust wasn't fully cooked to be crispy, which is always a tell for me on pizzas with more watery ingredients. My in-laws said it used to be better, so maybe it changed hands? It wasn't the worst but wasn't one of my favorites either. Convenience-wise, it's right in downtown Madison, so a good spot if you're out and about. Not sure if I'm totally skipping next time but it's not my first choice. ‍ read more

Super friendly staff. Very down to earth no nonsense pizza and sandwiches. Food portions are large! Almost too large. My family couldn't finish a pizza and two breads. They have a nice patio in the back but just know it gets packed because it's right next to a very popular ice cream place read more

Solid pizza, not always as crisp as ideal but really good overall pie. Sauce is much better than bradley and wall which seems too sweet. The toppings are great with artichokes at the top of my list. The white pizza with pesto is also great. Easy to order and ready when promised. read more

I ordered the Mac and Cheese bites tonight, which I've ordered many times, and loved them.... they were so pathetically tiny. How is that an appetizer? It was like a mini dog treat. I use to love that appetizer. I couldn't even tell they were Mac and Cheese anything today. They were less than an inch diameter. Really a shame. You pay for 6 of them and they use to be nice little 2 inch triangles. What the heck. read more

This is our go-to when we don't feel quite like venturing into New Haven. Grand rivals Modern's the Works Pizza. We like all of the grand locations but find the Madison one to be the best and also Madison's dine-in bar are is pleasant. The young women who work there are always pleasant and attentive. Also enjoy their fried dough and pepperoni or eggplant pizza. read more

Stopped by on a roadtrip from PA to RI for a smoothie bowl & was captured by the "Apizza" sign. Went in, got a slice of cheese, fresh out the oven. Great slice, interior was beautiful, has a really great tradition of pizza making, counter lady was really nice. Absolutely would recommend if you're looking for a nice slice of pie in a beach town. read more

The service is absolutely terrible if you dine-in, but the food is good! Pizza and stuffed breads are delicious (when they get it right)!

Delicious! If you like mushrooms you will love the Baked Stuffed Mushrooms appetizer! We ordered the Chicken Marsala and Mozzarella Pizza as well. All made so well and tasted delicious! Grand Apizza never disappoints! read more

I love New Haven style pizza. But it seems to few restaurants around here offer that style. Imagine my surprise when I feasted my eyes on grand Pizza. They advertise themselves as New Haven style Pizza. My taste buds started to sing and I knew I had to try them. The pizza was very good. Perfect amount of cheese and sauce. The restaurant is bigger inside than I had originally thought. It was thin style New Haven style Pizza and suffice to say I devoured it. I do not live in Madison and so I cannot be regular but if I am back in this area you can bet I will be back to have some of your delicious pizza. I do not like thick Pizza and I find that most of the pizza places around me do not offer the new Haven city style experience. I would recommend them. The staff were very nice and there were plenty of tables when I went in or I should say booths. I went for lunch so I can't really speak to how it is at night. It is extremely affordable as well. read more

We stumbled upon Madison on our road trip and could not get over how good this place smelled!! We ordered the original Stromboli and baked ziti. Both entrees were huge! Only comment was we wished the Stromboli was a little less greasy. Highly recommend stopping in! read more

Best pizza around, very busy at times but worth it. Our go to every week! Staff is awesome too

We happened upon Grand Apizza looking for a quick bite to eat. Coming from NY we know our pizza and this was as good of pizza as we have had. Thoroughly enjoyed every bite! We had the white pizza with garlic, fresh tomatoes and basil, at our bartenders suggestion, and it was fantastic! Highly recommend this place when in Madison read more

My family orders from Madison Grand Apizza a couple times per month. We've had minor issues like a forgotten pizza that were quickly resolved. I always order delivery off slice a service that Grand partners with. Tonight, we ordered at 6:40 and received an "out for delivery" notification with an ETA of 7:32. The order didn't arrive until after 8:30 and it was ice cold. When we called Grand they offered to send new pizzas, but we were hosting hungry party and told them we already had the pizzas in the oven reheating. The person on the phone said "well I guess you have your food then" and offered no other remedy. Grand insisted that Slice had incorrect times, but couldn't explain why our food arrived cold. I called back and asked to speak to a manager. She started the same explanation about Slice being incorrect. At this point I was angry and definitely let that show without cussing or being demeaning. The end result: Grand offered to refund 50%, which we appreciate. I appreciate the them doing the right thing. It was definitely a bummer people had to leave my 13yr olds party without food. We're happy they decided to resolve it in an appropriate manner. read more

If you want to be treated less than, go here. I got a couple beers, pizza and an appetizer of chicken wings. 55 bucks with a tip. They had reserved seating at the bar. I got a spot at the bar against the wall. I could not see the Kentucky Derby hardly. There was no music so I played some on my phone. The bartender struggled. He did not get to me or the new guy next to me for quite a bit. At one point he was carrying around a pizza with no customer for it. Food was good. read more

Located in downtown Madison, this place is cute from the outside. Parking in front is on the street and can be difficult at times. There is more parking in the rear. We've only ordered take-out pizza here, but picking it up can be a challenge. The layout of the restaurant is super tight, and if there are more than a couple of other customers waiting for their food, it can be uncomfortable. The staff is usually busy, which can be an excuse (but not a good one) for not being friendly. On the plus side, the pizza itself is quite good. However, a few times it's been undercooked and soggy in the center. read more
