The order of ziti was was bombarded with cheese and the portion size was ENORMOUS! Our table of three shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio to wash it down. Alex was our lovely server. She was personable, friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu. She worked very hard to please us, while she served others and bussed her own tables. She should be commended for her efforts. The pleasant owner made sure to come around to ask if we were satisfied with our order. Pizza Palace is a definite thumbs up!

I was 45 minutes from home, in Old Saybrook, when I realized the restaurant I was planning to visit…read morewas closed for Labor Day. I vaguely remembered that there may have been a CT Visit Pizza Trail Top 20 votegetter based in Old Saybrook. I Googled the Trail, and sure enough, Pizza Palace was number 16. I was there about 5 minutes later. PP serves Greek style pizza, but also has seafood, grinders, apps, etc. They have nice inside and outside seating. Service was very good. I ordered a small Scallop and Bacon pizza. My server asked if I wanted it red or white, and I thought it would be interesting to go half and half. The crust was well executed Greek Style. The bacon was good and crispy without being overcooked. The bay scallops were cooked through and perfectly tender. The cheese was well melted and tasty. The white sauce half seemed to have a Bechamel. It wasn't too assertive and complemented the other flavors well. The red sauce half was also very subtle. Pizza Palace definitely makes one of the better CT Greek style pizzas I've had. I really had a lovely experience and I can see why PP is so popular. 4.5 Stars

Do NOT be fooled by the outside of this establishment. It looks like an old run down pizza spot but…read moreon the inside it's a characteristic and lively Italian dining experience. I started with the Caesar salad and they use whole anchovies rather than incorporating it into the sauce. Which is not my preference but is a dedication to a style I cannot discount. My main course was a whole Neapolitan pizza. Very very good and classic. My boss got pepperonis on his and regretted it because why on gods green earth would you desecrate a well done simple pizza like that. Beyond me. The wine was good. Our server was very nice. Surprisingly great meal.

I highly recommend getting the homemade tagliatelle instead of rigatoni. Their homemade gnocchi is the best, the gnocchi are so light and soft, I got it with the cream sauce and would try a different sauce next time, it was good but a little too milky for my liking. I also recommend their pizza with garlic, it reminds me of New Haven pizza. Their desserts are amazing as well -- the chocolate torte is so rich and the raspberry and fresh whipped cream compliment it so well. There's a reason it's always busy!

We ordered a large regular pizza with extra cheese and a large salad. Before the food came out, the server brought us a large basket of warm bread and butter, which we were not expecting. That won us over immediately. Before long, she brought us an absolutely enormous salad. It had a nice variety of vegetables and a delicious balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. The pizza was perfectly cooked with a slight char, a nicely flavored cheese mix and a slightly sweet tomato sauce. The crust was thin and had a great texture. We were thrilled, and will definitely be back.

When waitress came over, we told her, and we are not complainers,,she said, oh I will mention it, but never came back most decent restaurants either offer a replacement or do not charge, but waitress charged us, so it's their loss, as we have never been back, nor will we ever go there again..Nancy, owner knows my face, and am sure she knows she has nit seen me firva few months? Well maybe waitress never told her, it she should know!

Our waiter Matt, played right into our intimate family vibe by calling us Aunt and Uncle. Now, to get to the food! Nothing says "love" like good Italian food. The artichoke hearts were crispy on the outside with soft centers, just like us! The pasta dishes are just like Mama made and the eggplant dishes are better than my Nonnas. Our hearts and bellies were filled but the next day was to be a long travel day for our friends. Two pizzas to go plus our leftovers were carried out by these satiated diners. Chow chow Luigi's and thanks for a touch of home.

It took over and hour from when they said our food would be ready because they forgot to put the pizzas in and were very disorganized. They also didn't put in the order for the kids Mac and cheese I ordered. Which is not, in fact, Mac and cheese. It's pasta with Alfredo sauce. I get it was a crazy night. The reason my star rating is so low is the person was was working the register up front getting increasingly more and more snippy and snotty with me each time she decided to come over every 20 mins and ask why I was still standing there. I'm not amused.

My wife and I shared arancini with a basil aioli. The three rice balls were beautifully plated and tasty. I ordered an Aperol Spritz (which was good) and Rigatoni Bolognese. The pasta had good texture and the sauce had a rich umami flavor. However, the sauce didn't pop for me relative to my favorite CT Bolognese's and there was not a lot of meat. I would definitely return to 745, but I would try a different meal next time. My wife enjoyed her Beet Salad, which I didn't photograph since she substituted Mozzarella for the Goat Cheese. The chicken she added had a nice grilled flavor. 4 Stars for the Food. 5 Stars for the Atmosphere and Service. Rounding up to 5 Stars Overall since I can't give 4.5 Stars.
