Food price / quality ratio 9.5. Atmosphere pub style. Had a pizza, Greek pan style, tomato, artichoke heart, and gorgonzola. Exceptionally good. Very high quality ingredients and prepared perfectly. This restaurant has nice outdoor seating, and is located conveniently. Reasonably priced for the quality. read more

Despite being pretty close to New York, the food here is definitely a cheap Connecticut imitation of the fine Italian food of that state. First of all, the pasta portion sizes are much smaller than anything I have seen on the other side of the border. And secondly, the prices for those smaller sizes are higher. The sauce is thinner and no bread comes with the order. For a hungry hiker, and Kent in Connecticut is still considered to be an outdoorsy town, none of these things is a positive mark in the log book. I began the final leg of what would be my Appalachian Trail adventure here before I hiked to Pawling, New York to complete the state of New York before hanging up my boots. So I wanted a hearty plate of pasta for the miles which they could just not supply here which was disappointing. After the hike (the next day), I actually came back to calorie replenish. And while the pizza I got was better than the pasta, it still did not measure up to New York (or even New Haven) quality. It was thin on both the base and the cheese and slightly burnt. But of course it was decent because all pizza is. So with the pizza, this restaurant could be acceptable. But the service was rude as well. It seems like they make most of the money off the bar but there's no reason to treat the restaurant like it doesn't matter. I got a cool breeze right from the host stand on. And while that's good on the trail, it's not good in a restaurant at all. read more

More than just really good pizza, KPG delivers an amazing mix of pub fare, Italian specialties and quality Mexican too. Jade and Erin make you feel right at home (unless you don't like home... In that case you'll feel like you're at a welcoming friend's place). Look for daily specials and a nice selection of craft, draft and bottled brew too. read more

Stopped up on my way to Mohawk and it's really convenient. It was early, so it wasn't busy. We enjoyed the pizza. A little doughy for me, but my kids absolutely loved it. Waitress was really nice and liked the overall decor. Definitely plan on stopping back again. read more

KPG Kitchen & Bar - large pie - Pizza Near Me - Kent, Connecticut

The pizza we ordered off the specials menu tasted and looked like frozen pizza. The toppings were ok and fresh but the dough was not made there. It was the 'thin' pizza that they have listed on their menu. The regular pizza isn't frozen but this definitely was not fresh dough. The crust was too uniform and looked mass produced. Disappointed! Could have made one at home and would probably be better. read more

Quality food. Quality times. Amazing place to test out new local Taps, and even better food to fill you up!! From appetizers to dessert everything tastes divine!!! All wings are amazing, my favorite entre is the drunken chucken...unreal. My favorite dessert would be the monster cookie omg... read more

Do not write reviews often, only for the really good or bad...this was the latter. Just waited 15 minutes in line to be seated and was completely ignored. No one even asked anything!!! Staff looked busy but there were tables open scattered around the restaurant. There are other options in town that are better than being ignored read more

Nothing good about this place The waiting staff is aloof and very slow, they aren't helpful and don't care about the customers The food is ok at best and is over priced for the quality. Try docs if you want Italian, it only slightly more expensive, but definitely worth the extra few dollars read more

Delicious pizza and burgers! Service is almost always perfect, love the beer selection and outdoor dining area!

We were there the night before I wrote the review....visiting friends in Kent. You can see where we were sitting but the dead bug in the spider Web next to my seat......Booth overlooking the garden. The ledge was pretty gross. I took the picture. read more

Went there Saturday night and the bartender with the green teeth couldn't find the time to wait on us even though the bar was half empty. Management should pay attention to paying customers who walk out because of poor service read more

Have had lunch there sever times. Food and service is always great. Prices are reasonably. Last time my wife and I ordered their pan pizza. We had a margarita and it delicious. Would highly recommend ordering their pizza. We were there on a Sunday,and as usual the little town is crowded. Parking can be a problem, but there is plenty of parking at Kent Pizza Garden. read more

What exactly is a pizza garden anyway? This place is actually one of the few places in the town of Kent that is far from bearing a resemblance to anything garden. It is in a parking lot, again, one of the few in Kent. Anyplace that has pizza in it's name should have decent pizza. Otherwise it would have gotten 3, maybe. If it was deemed a diner I would have allowed a reprieve. It would fall under the category of a place that serves pizza to merely satisfy the bourgeois whom, without proper pizza-accumen, order it there. This place is a strange place. A typical New England Greek owned spot that tries to push pizza in a town that has no conventional pizzeria when, in actuality, is only a diner. read more

I was there today and it was alittle crazy Tom the waiter had a lot on his plate with the restrictions, seems he is not allowed to take dishes in the restaurant from a table until the customers leave which leaves a lot of pressure for incoming patrons and serving food etc, although I have to say he stayed happy friendly and positive!!!! I give a 5 rating to Tom job well done under the pressure!! He's a keeper read more

This is one of the more affordable and casual places to eat in town, which is why we ended up choosing it. We ended up eating on the patio which had nice views of a garden. The wait staff was really friendly but incredibly slow. It seemed as though they were understaffed for the workload. I noticed they were running a lot of pick up orders, a bar area, an inside and outside dining areas. I felt those of us sitting outdoors were forgotten. The menu had a great variety along with gluten free options, pasta dishes and salads. I ended up getting a small margarita pizza. The crust was bland, dry and a little over cooked but the sauce had good flavor and the mozzarella was fresh. I really want to give them a better rating but with the bland crust and slow staff I can only do 3 stars :( Sorry guys! read more

This place is not as bad as the reviews suggest. Some of the menu offerings are very good, and the pizza is a solid 3 of 5. Service really is what holds this place back..we were fortunate to encounter friendly staff but as with other reviewers, service is slow. Still, not so bad that we wouldn't stop in again. read more

Ive actually become more impressed with this place over the years. For a small town, their pizza is good and their menu selections appeal to even the non-italian food lovers who might visit. Theres a meat/seafood/poultry section but also some items with mexican flare (see sizzling chicken fajitas or southwestern pizza). Pasta dishes are generous and range from the heavier carbonara and alfredos to the lighter roaster broccoli and garlic or pesto choices. They have nice big salads for the veggies eaters, and your can opt for grilled salmon, steak, or chicken as a healthy option. Servce is usually prompt, the bar is reasonably priced, and you will usually find this place pretty busy especially during the school year since its a favorite spot of many of the prep school kids in town. TVs in the bar can be set to pretty much any sports game. The owner is usually there and available, which is always nice to see. We usually sit at the bar and get some nachos or a buffalo chicken salad and a beer (going the classy route!). Beer on tap is nothing spectacular, but they have the old stanby's. Definitely stop in if you want a good meal at a good price. read more

Restaurant smelled like a dirty mop and the table we sat at was covered in a sticky film. Pizza did not look or taste like it was freshly made. I suspect it was a frozen pizza, judging by its flavor, texture and the fact that it was served atop a cardboard disc. For a similar experience grab a slice at your local gas station. Service was good. read more

Wonderful find. Beet salad, buffalo chicken and caesar all wonderful salads and fantastic size - meal all by itself. Linguine and white clam fantastic! One of the best and I'm seriously picky. Veggie thin white pizza sensational, great flavors, perfect crust and even though it only comes in medium, it was more like a large. Only complaint is that there are no happy hour drink specials and mixed drinks are outrageously expensive. Service very nice, love the location. Soup came out after salads and pizza came out before we even got a couple of bites of our salad in and we did ask to wait a bit. read more

Kent Pizza Garden is our favorite place to eat! All of the staff is excellent and very friendly! The food is always hot and wonderful! I have never left Kent pizza garden feeling disappointed! Great food, large portions and great prices! Without a doubt, I will always recommend Kent Pizza Garden!! Absolutely the best service around! read more

The owner, Maryanne, is sweet as pie along with her staff! I eat here about once a week and I'm never disappointed. You will wait a little longer some nights as they are busy but the food is worth it! I would recommend any dish with chicken (their chicken is SO good). They even have a gluten-free bottled beer :) read more

I really wanted to give this spot 4 stars. The staff was super nice and the place had a fun vibe. We ordered a Corona and a Pinot Noir for drinks to start alongwith the Tuscany bread; which was delicious. For entrées we ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo with Brocolli. This came with the house salad. The salad was decent. The Alfredo sauce was too liquidy and was pretty bland. Its the easiest pasta to make so I was a bit surprised. The wine though cheap ($7) a glass was not all bad. It missed the 4-star mark as the main dish was not good at all. Maybe we should have stuck with the Pizza or the Calzones. Anyways this review does not mean you shouldn't try this place out. Maybe we just picked up the wrong one. read more

I have no idea why this place gets terrible reviews. I've been there 5 times and I've never had a bad meal. Their burgers are good and their pizzas are fresh and pan-fried. Good mussels, good service. Fair-priced. Much better pizza here than at the other pizza place in town! read more

Nice place, however I constantly see workers stand around talking about who knows what instead of checking on orders or seated patrons. Also when you hand in an application, you never hear back which is insanely rude and unprofessional. Are they the only pizza joint in town? Yes but being there since the '70s they should know better. read more

Not a favorite. My husband and I stopped for dinner, and he was sick the whole next day. Won't be back.

It took so long to eat here I can't believe I'm spending more time on them to write a review. But I will do it so other people can run. We stood and waited for a table for twenty minutes. There were plenty of empty tables. But we stood. And they ignored us. And everyone else. For twenty minutes. When we finally sat, we ordered immediately. And then we sat. For one hour and ten minutes. With no food. No check in. No "it'll be right out". And then the food came. Without plates. Or enough forks and knives and napkins. So we sat. It was 100 minutes since entering the restaurant before we got food. And we weren't alone. No one had good in the whole place. Take out people were getting food. We weren't. Which was lucky in the end. Because it wasn't very good. read more

Food is below par service is even worse. Went in for lunch with a friend the bartender a brunette woman was not only slow to serve us (took her 10 minutes to give us menus) she was also severely inappropriate. She was swearing loudly mid day with children in the restaurant she was also BRAGGING about being on probation she even went as far as to say loudly and behind the bar "the court tell me not to drink fuck the court im taking shots tonight" it was atrocious and I will never return!! The pizza is awful the salad was soggy awful awful place!! NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY! read more

Pretty fire dude even as a little obscure location but really liked it plus everybody's very nice but is a little cold in there

I've been eating pizza here on-and-off since 1976. The quality has never been worse than today. Dried out crust, tasteless toppings, not enough cheese. Looks like the new owners are trying to cut corners and quality is suffering badly. It's time for the Pizza Garden to get some competition, right now they're the only game in town-- and their game is pretty bad. read more

Came into kpg, best pizza in the area. Great place a must stop if anywhere close. Gotta check the owners haircut too!!!

Recent trip to visit family in Kent landed us at this place since it was the only place I could find for pizza in this small town. I was really craving clams casino but, the menu did not reflect this item and I was disappointed. However, I did find clams-fried clam strips (very juicy ones at that) on the menu and they were awesome and did not disappoint the craving (even though they were fried). We also had the carbonara pasta, very awesome tasting but, seemed a bit pricey. The pizza was decent but, nothing to brag about really. read more

The pizza is very greasy and doesn't have much flavor. Waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for a take out order.

Zero stars. Worst service ever. Had to wait in line for 30 min to be even given a table. Called three different waitresses but no one cared to take the order. All other tables were diligently served before us. on asking why coffee wasn't served the waitress refused to acknowledge us. We thought talking to the owner would help. But he yelled at us instead and told us pretty much to get lost. Please visit this place at your own risk and be ready for Terrible service, precalculated service tax and if you dare complain to the owner, he will not leave any stone unturned in humiliating you. read more

I came here prior to hiking the AT, a portion of which is located nearby. The waitress seemed like she'd rather be anywhere else, but the food was overall not bad. A friend ordered the crispy chicken salad, which he said was not great, but not bad. Just overall meh... read more

Pizza is a little on the expensive side and pretty average. Haven't eaten in yet, have only gotten take out. It wasn't so terrible that I wouldn't give them another chance. Hopefully the management checks yelp's reviews and improves their pizza. Will update this review after I give them another shot. read more

Extremely friendly staff. They understand what you want exactly and the food is delicious. The place is very comfortable and clean. Had a nice lunch which I wont forget. Only the glasses are plastic. read more

Very inviting atmosphere with friendly wait staff. My family of 7 came there for a celebration dinner on a very busy evening and this place blew our expectations! Our food was not only on our table in a timely manner but everything was prepared just right. My sisters buffalo chicken calzone had to be shared amongst the table due to her lack of conversation because she turned to business mode when confronted with this heavenly spicy pouch. I recommend ANY pizza especially the southwestern and buffalo chicken. (you can tell our family has a thing for the spicy food! HA!) Gustavo( the chef) actually grteeted our table and asked how everything was. WOW can you say old school! who does this anymore? I wish other places would ask these questions. it seems this business owner really cares about his/her customers! I say Touche! Bon apetite!!! -JSAL read more

Went there in a group of about 8 twice in the last two Saturdays after hikes in the area. First time, service and food were OK. Second time, all bad. Sitting inside, we were one of only 2 tables occupied. Waitress was slow to come over, then clearly had a bad attitude from the moment we ordered drinks. She seemed annoyed that we asked for water in addition to drinks. She couldn't hide her disdain while taking the food orders. Re: food, the tap beer that we ordered was flat. The chicken parm dinner that a few of us ordered had overcooked pasta and watery sauce. The salads contained lettuce that had rotted ends. No complaints about the burgers. We all went away with a negative feeling about this place. It's a shame because it's conveniently-located in Kent and has plenty of seating. We will look elsewhere for our post-hike group meals. Date was Sat, 9/19. read more

Drove 7 hours for pizza. Arrived at 11:30pm to find a dark restaurant. Not open until 1:00am. We are upset. We want bacon and pepperoni pizza. read more

I began my sojourn from NYC north to the Hudson Valley area as is my weekend custom on Friday after work. I was accompanied on this particular trip by my beloved on the reliably disappointing and ever degrading Metro North Railroad. Due to the circumstances of the day she had been unable to nourish herself and politely though firmly requested that we dine as soon as we arrived at our destination. I'm far too wise to have have not complied as I'm quite too familiar with her disposition when she's as she call it "HANGRY!". As fate would have it just a short drive from the train station is the Kent Pizza Garden. I felt safe instantly as one is require to drive across train tracks to get there so that only the brave may reach this destination. I do not care for cowards. I was pleasantly surprised at the two sets of doors presented for one to enter through which helps to keep out the winter chill as well as riffraff who I've found give up easily when presented with only one door, let alone two. The bar is made of heavy and sturdy wood which I find comforting should I feel compelled to dive behind it should a car drive through the front of the establishment. The bar also seats many though real estate was found easily even for a Friday evening. We were greeted quickly by a friendly and vivacious woman with hair as black as pitch and a no nonsense attitude. Due to past indiscretions with authority I've been advised that it's best to avoid certain libations and the bartender was most accommodating in letting me know there were alternate options. My beloved certainly enjoyed the generously sized cocktail glasses however. The menu is vast and quite tempting. The options for pizza are numerous and you should be warned that you will in fact keep eating while your food is in front of you. It helps to have use of your arms as you will be carrying left overs out with you. If you have a helper monkey or some support animal that's wonderful though truth be told I saw no such sign stating if they allow such trained primates to accompany customers. The staff is all seemingly friendly as a female member of the wait staff with dark hair and piercing blue eyes was quite understanding as I shared with her my upset regarding a delicate matter of a certain vermin infestation at my place of work in NYC. There are a number of large televisions with various sports being shown on them but I don't care in the slightest and tend to find the commercials more enlightening. The food was amazing and the portions are generous. Nothing seems as though it's made in a rush or without pride and in spite of the laid back demeanor of the staff attention is given to detail in the best ways. If I have any critique at all it's that while there I witnessed no actual garden so the name of the establishment is misleading unless given the time of year said garden is closed. Also there was someone ugly at the end of the bar but that in no way was the fault of the establishment. In fact, I rather applaud them for their tolerance and welcoming attitude! Bravo KPG! Thank you for everything! We'll be back! read more
