I'm always looking for great pizza in unexpected places in CT. Earlier this year, I noticed Mama…read moreMia on a monthly Yelp List identifying the Most Popular Restaurants in Connecticut. That's how I first learned about @brickandbasil in Yantic. I visited several months ago, but forgot to post my review. There was a bit of a hiccup when I visited. I drove about 40 minutes to get there, and when I arrived, I learned that they were closed for their first ever private Baby Shower party. I was crushed. But this story has a rated PG Happy Ending. I called the restaurant and spoke to Amy. I explained that I had driven a ways and asked if they could make me a pizza to go. They didn't take long to tell me that they would make me the first pizza of the day before the shower got into Full Swing. I was grateful for their hospitality, and terrific wood-fired pizza. I was inside briefly. They have plenty of seating and a bar that with decor suggesting a love of music. I ordered the Mama Mia and ate a couple slices outside. It had sliced meatball, roasted red pepper, mozzarella and ricotta on a good chewy Wood Fired Crust. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The red sauce had bright flavor. The ricotta was creamy and fluffy. Brick and Basil is well respected in pizza circles, and I can see why. It started as a food truck. But a food truck that starts with the word Brick, was bound to have a Brick and Mortar. And we're lucky they do. 5 Stars

I ordered the Tortellini, Italian Sausage, and Kale soup. So good! I couldn't eat it fast enough. A very hearty zuppa. My wife ordered a side salad which she said was filling. We shared a prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella pizza. The crust was thin and light. There was plenty of prosciutto on top. Nice and spicy. I wish it was baked down a little bit more. The restaurant is in a historic building in town so it has a very cool vibe. Our server was very engaging and his service was on point. We will go again and try some different things. I would definitely recommend La Stella if you're in town.

A very pleasant Italian eatery experience. I ate in at…read moreJack's for lunch and it is clear this should be thought of as more than just a pizzeria. The seats are all really comfortable looking, the service was fast, attentive, and friendly. The menu isn't vast, so there's faith that the food is being cooked for real. Tried today were: A slice of regular cheese and Sicilian cheese pizzas, a meatball grinder, and seafood ortolana (from the specials menu). Sicilian cheese - thick crust that wasn't too heavy. Very airy and crunchy. The sauce is a little sweet, but the overall slice was really good, especially with some parmesan added on top. Regular cheese - thin crust, crunchy but still pliable. This one needed the parmesan because I felt it was pretty bland on its own. Meatball grinder - soft meatballs with mild seasoning, that sweet sauce, melted cheese, on a bread that was toasted but not overly flavorful. A solid grinder that is acceptable in every way but not blowing you away. Seafood ortolana - while this is a special, I can see that they know how to mostly cook seafood (the scallops cooked way too long and were tough as a result, but the shrimp and calamari were just right) and pasta. I like that the vegetables were cooked to where they still had a bite to them, no one wants soggy squash. There was a flavor tone that I was never able to pin down, I thought maybe propane? jarred minced garlic?, something with a sweet back end but sharp front end. In any case, it hovered on the edges of every bite, becoming inescapable and not overly pleasant. In general, this is a good restaurant, I'll be trying other food here in the future and can say that I'm confident you could have a nice meal here too. In terms of handicapped access, their main parking lot has one spot, but then steps to get in. A single parking spot with ramp access is available on the back side of the restaurant, looks to be where employee parking is as well.

We ordered a brick oven pizza with pepperoni, sausage, bacon & roasted garlic. Pizza was great! We would have liked it to be cooked a tad more. Next time we will ask for it to be well-done, but that is just our preference, not a knock on the restaurant. Food came out very fast too!

I stopped by Moore Pizza in Baltic very recently. I ordered a 10" Hamburg Pizza ($9.50) which was hot, boxed and ready in about 12 minutes. This pizza was baked in a pan which was thin firm & soft crust (not greasy) and thicker rolled edges, topped with plenty of red sauce, thick layer of melted cheese and pieces of hamburger on each slice. The 10" pizza I ordered was filling and good for one person to eat in one meal.

We ordered ham and Italian grinders as well as a large pepperoni pizza. The pizza sauce was robust, zesty and flavorful! We absolutely LOVED IT! The crust was perfectly crunchy and toppings were plentiful. My mom had mentioned that she liked the pizza better than Queen Pizza in Hartford- which is a HUGE compliment! I feel like the real stars of the shows were the grinders though. Not sure what kind of bread they used but it definitely tasted fresh. They didn't skimp on toppings, either. The only gripe I had was that the well-toasted bread was soggy. Yes- we asked for oil, however, the amount they put on their made everything a bit of a mess. But it wasn't even enough to take a star off for since the meal was overall satisfying. We've gone to Great Oak religiously for 20+ years. But since they aren't open Sundays- I'm happy we found a decent replacement! Exceeded my expectations and this will be our new spot during football season, for sure.

I discovered this place late at night one night due to pregnancy cravings for potato skins. I literally googled "Norwich potato skins" and this wonderful establishment was the first result on Google. And I am so glad my cravings (fate) brought us together. Myself and the whole staff at my office have ordered so much of this menu that I'll just cover it by saying the food is consistently good. Family pizza joints in New England are a dime a dozen but the issue is they are rarely consistent nor is every item on the menu good. Tulli's is the exception. Salads are massive and fresh, the clam strips are fresh, pizza is delicious, grinders large and filling, chicken fingers are massive, and the potato skins....worth the Google search. I'm sure I'll be in sometime this week, picking up another massive order :)

From what I have gathered there's a crew that gets it, and a crew that doesn't give a crap. I've ordered the same thing the same way and get different amounts of meat each time. I pay for extra meat because they are a bit skimpy with their cold meats. I've paid for extra meat 5 times and have received extra meat twice and one of those correct times was because I ate there. The time I ate there was a quiet and pleasant experience. Tall blonde haired kid was my server, I say kid with respect, you can tell he's young but he was also very respectful. Everything came out timely and perfect. I'm not sure I'll be ordering takeout anytime soon. Could you imagine opening the grinders in store to make sure there's extra meat before ya leave? Cringe, no thanks. Just make it right to begin with. These sandwiches are not cheap especially when I'm gluten free and have to pay en extra $5 for the bread I can eat. The grinders are great when made to your liking, I'll give them that.
