    Hometown Salad
    Kathy M.

    This is a favorite restaurant of ours. The food is always great and the prices are affordable. They always bring over a dish of olive oil with seasoning and olives with a basket of bread when you are seated. We started out with the Garlic knots, as always they are buttery, and topped with lots fresh Garlic and Parmesan cheese. This will certainly keep the vampires away. We also had the fried mozzarella triangles, again these were fried to perfection and not greasy at all. The triangles are served with a nice warm tomato sauce to top your mozzarella with. My boyfriend had the Sausage Parmesan grinder it was loaded with sliced sausage links with just the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. I choose the eggplant rollatini with ziti, served with a side salad. The ziti was the right amount of tenderness, and the eggplant, was enough for 3 meals! Inside the eggplant was ricotta and ham, a very tasty combination , both the eggplant and ziti was topped with sauce (light on the sauce per my request). You can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

    Tonight was an off night. I have been here many many times but tonight was just not on par with what is usually the norm. Plain cheese pizza was very flavorless and "tough" to eat. It's usually a thin crust that easy to chew but this had a bite ... don't know if that's an old dough thing or maybe rolled too much, but whatever it was, wasn't working. Small order of garlic knots were also very tough to eat and most ended up being tossed to the trash. I know it's not the norm, but with businesses opening back up, there's no reason to not bring your "A" game.

    We stopped by Hometown pizza on a Friday evening and got seated very quickly. Our server was friendly and we got our appetizers and our food promptly as well. I've lived in Wallingford my whole life and I can't believe this was my first time at Hometown Pizza. I'd love to try some more of their food next time! If you're looking for a family friendly place to come for dinner, this is the spot to go to!

    Hometown is one of our top 3 choices in Wallingford. We ordered delivery and it was awesome, delivered fast and on time. We enjoyed the side salad and 2 pies we ordered. We ordered the buffalo chicken pie and a black olive, onions, mushrooms and peppers on red sauce with mozz. Excellent! Thank you for your great work! We will be back!

    The pizza was not very flavorful. It tasted very bland. It was hard for my father to chew, and the dose seemed a little over rolled.

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.

Old fashioned decor with old pictures on the wall and well worn but sturdy wooden tables. Pizza was a 3.0. We think that it had too much sauce. We prefer a balance of sauce, cheese and crust. It had the taste of oregano, which we do not want on pizza. We prefer garlic in the taste to oregano. The price was reasonable and it was prepared in a reasonable amount of time.

I ordered a large cheese pizza, and it has to be one of the best I've had in a long time. The crust was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of char, not greasy at all, and every bite was packed with flavor. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and put care into every pie they make. It's that kind of pizza where you immediately know you'll be thinking about it later. Honestly, I wish my wife and kids were here to try it with me--they would've loved it. I'm from California, and I can say I haven't had many pizzas back home that compare to this. It's that good. In fact, I ended up coming back a second time before heading home because I just couldn't pass up another chance to have it again. That alone should say everything. On top of the amazing pizza, the employees were friendly and welcoming, and you can tell it's a family-owned business that takes pride in what they do. That kind of atmosphere makes the experience even better. If you're anywhere near the area, I highly recommend stopping by Fuoco Apizza. Whether you heard about it from Barstool or not, it absolutely lives up to the hype. You won't be disappointed.

    Wait time, lack of seating, prices…read more An hour and 10 minute wait for two small pizzas?! (As long as eating dinner at 3:15 pm on a Friday doesn't bother you...try it.) We drove to New Haven and were eating our pizza in less time at one of the more popular/well-known places. Seating is almost a waste of time. Maybe there's enough seating for 25 people?! You need to get to know the people next to you because you're basically at the same table. Prices are shockingly high for what you get. With the sheer amount of pizza-places within a 2-10 mile radius of Fuoco - you're better off giving another establishment a try. Try Half-Moon in Wallingford. The pizza is delicious, less of a wait time and there's actually room to eat and relax.
