Omg! So glad we came across this place. The food was amazing!!! We ordered meatballs, hot honey pie, Lemon Italian Creme Cake and Spumoni. Such a delicious meal and dessert! Can't wait to go back and try other items from the menu. read more

Traveling through Vermont heading back home...cell service was spotty...Finally yelp returns an Italian place open after 9 pm on a Monday. I've got almost 2 hours of driving still to go but I need a refuel. Their pizza menu looks promising. I'm thinking no toppings is easier to eat on the road. I order a pint of Von Trapp at the bar to sip while the pie cooks. The staff was very friendly. The bartender was amenable to sampling if you're so inclined. The menu was tempting but again I was tight on time. The large (22") cheese was a pretty tasty thin crust pie. It had a good amount of Italian green spices. It was a little oilier than my liking, but it's pizza!! I would have asked for "well done" but don't get me wrong, decent pie. Pretty heavy and filling. Good sauce and great NY style crust that has equal parts crunch and tear. Heads up.The area outside has the usual number of financially challenged individuals looking for a dollar or a lighter... read more

Martocci's - Viva Italia! - Pizza Near Me - Brattleboro, Vermont

Formerly Hazel, Martocci's opened in April 2023 in Downtown Brattleboro serving the same pizzas as Hazel plus classic Italian fare and dishes as well. The dining room/bar area is very cozy with table seating for around 20 people and 12 seats up at the bar. Since there was a street festival going on outside I made a reservation online and I took a seat up at the bar though I could've sat at a table if I wished. The menu offers 12" and 18" pizzas, create your own or specialty pies, pasta dishes, salads, appetizers & small plates, meat entrees, and desserts. The bar offers cocktails, wine, and beer (8 taps). I decided to order two things on my dinner visit. I started out with a 12" Veggie Pie ($16 plus tax) which was topped with red sauce, spinach, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, kalamata olives, garlic, and mozzarella cheese on the thin firm soft crust, chewy on the edges. I enjoyed half the pizza and had the rest boxed to go. Next, the Sausage Polenta ($18 plus tax) had 2 polenta cakes with a mix of ground sausage, mushrooms, garlic, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, parmesan cheese and olive oil. I was too full, so I passed on dessert. The check with tax and before tip was $37.40. Overall, a good relaxed dinner sitting up at the bar. Afterwards, I took a walk outside to enjoy the downtown festivities. read more

Just had an awesome pie. The place has a cool vibe and friendly staff. We will be back!

Our server was lovely! Everyone was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is light and calm; an open, modern pizza place with a full bar. The IPA I had from New Zealand was the best IPA I've EVER had. The pizza was delicious. The crust was so crisp without any burned parts. The caesar salad was so good- crunchy chickpeas instead of chicken?! More places should do this! The meatball app was also delicious- garnished with fresh basil and cheese. The sauce tasted so fresh! Will be back as often as we can manage. read more

Bar is well stocked, and constantly evolving the beer, wine, cider & cocktail rotation. Takeout orders are promptly prerared and it's always a treat to grab a quick drink while you wait for your takeout at the bar. read more

Okay, it starts with a confession: I'm an unapologetic pizza snob and, yes, it's all about New Haven apizza for me. Sadly, living in Vermont for 25 years now, I still regularly go back to New Haven for some Modern Apizza or Sally's. Other than the now-ended Rigani Pizza, the best I could do up here was adequate Greek-cut thick pies and anotehr downtown restaurant that makes a decent wood-fired pie. Occasionally Hazel (the former name of Martocci's) would get it right, but it was hit-or-miss for me. So...with that said, a friend brought me in one night to give the new Martocci's a try here in downtown Brattleboro. Being open-minded and forever hopeful about good pizza in my area, we had a couple of really exceptional points of local Vermont beer at the bar. I soon met Shelby, one of the owners with her husband, Paul, and before long she was graciously enduring my "all-pizza-is-inferior-to-New Haven-apizza....but I'm hopeful" schpiel. I told her I was open to falling in love with their pizza, and asked some questions about how they do it, from the ground up. Just from hearing her list specific ingredients, talk about the dough process, and their solid sourcing I knew they were pretty passionate and smart about what they were doing. I ordered a large pie....kept it simple with just eggplant (cooked to perfection)......and soon there it was. To be honest, the first bite was quite positive, but I was going to do this analysis fully. Before long I was one slice down and feeling pretty happy about it. For me, the toppings, the sauce and the cheese were outstanding. Lots of flavor in the sauce, though an actual sauce and not the simple San Marzanos+oregano+salt on apizza. By the time I was onto the second slice, I was feeling pretty relieved that I wasn't going to have to offer candid-yet-negative feedback to Shelby. My only iffy feedback was that that's not the dough I'm after.....tasty and nice consistency, but not the chewy, high-hydration, 3-day proof dough I like the best. That's not to say that I expected that, but just describing my dream pie. BTW: I wound up taking some home, and loved every bite. While I was eating, Shelby and I talked more about the pizza, the restaurant, the family-owned and run nature of it, and her hopes for the place. You could just feel the hard work ethic and the family vibe in the restaurant. Casual yet on top of things, and a lot of laughing. These people are golden. A hard-working Vermont family genuinely trying to make you good food. I've now been back many times, and I'll tell you this: the pizza was very good, but the calzones are genius! And huge! So many other touches, a fun and funny wait staff, great craft beer choices, and pretty much everything I'd hoped for. So I'd encourage visitors to try them out, and locals to support these good people as they grow this new venture. Try it yourself and see if you agree. read more

Martocci's - I wish I thought to take more pics, but this is the first of three amazing calzones I've had, No, not all at once. - Pizza Near Me - Brattleboro, Vermont

Delicious pizza! We had the S&P Pizza with house made sausage, green peppers, and red onion. Caesar salad was good as well. Great beer list and some interesting cocktails on the menu. read more

Delicious food...even for gluten free folks. The owners are wonderful people & the staff is always friendly. Great place for a farm to table yummy dining experience. read more

We came across this place this Memorial Day weekend and are so happy we did. There wasn't much opened on a Sunday night, but this place was and we took a chance. Great food, drinks and Shelby the owner who was tending bar was so kind and funny. We highly recommend. read more

Good pizza (have always done carry out). Enjoyed their take out margaritas when they were offering them.

Excellent Italian-American food in nice cozy atmosphere. Pizzas and calzones are their specialties.

So friendly and very good quality food. So nice to have reliable Italian cuisine locally.

They have pared down the menu and eliminated entrees. The two small plates they have are meatballs and olives. It's pizza or salad here now.

Quick and efficient service. The wine and fig pizza were fabulous. Payment took less than a microsecond. Excellent use of our time especially since we still have many more hours of driving to do. read more

Great food, including reasonably the most authentic thin crust pizza in Brattleboro (finally!). Friendly family-owned spot with a large wraparound bar and many tables waiting for you to come get your pizza on. The service is family. Italian antipasto salad, great desserts, full bar and a 10 tap beer menu round out the list. They even have a family-style meatball platter meal I've just gotta try... read more

Went here on a Friday night based on all the good reviews we saw on-line. Well, surprise! - only pizza and calzones (no pasta) were being served. Yikes! 12" pizzas are 15.00 each - so, we though, ok, we'll stay because the pizzas MUST be delicious, right? Nope. Canned sauce, tasteless crust, a some fresh basil and very little cheese. 60.00 for three people (including tax and tip with no drinks - just water). We won't be back. read more

Unfreaking believable. I grew up age 5-17 in an Italian neighborhood in Westchester, NY in the 70s and 80s, with fantastic Italian pizza and calzones a 5 minute walk down by the barber and Cartisano's shoe store. At 12 or 13 I went through an 8 year vegetarian phase, and discovered the wonders of eggplant parmigiana. So the opportunity to order bruschetta with an eggplant calzone was promising, especially given the modest, attentive family style service at the small but attractive bar. The bruschetta showed up moist! Covered in fresh tomato sauce barely cooked but richly flavored with fresh basil, sweet quality balsamic and generous burrata so soft I thought it might be ricotta. I swooned. We ate the open-faced sandwich with a knife and fork as the proprietor/bartender/server explained that bruschetta is all about the bread, and the dry approach is really unnecessary. I wholeheartedly agreed, especially if this was the result. Then the calzone? Way plenty to finish off our appetites after the one generous app--and the crust, ratio of eggplant to ricotta, and reasonable bowl of fresh, chunky marina (which we requested and easily finished) brought me to tears of joy, as it was the first great eggplant calzone experience of my life. Seriously, the crust was roasted, perfectly blackened at the edge, and came off as a savory, chewy pastry. Sick. We drank an off menu Chianti they had, delicious and slightly upscale but priced at 9 a glass. I cried a bit in gustatory orgasm as we discussed NY Times puzzles and Italian cooking philosophy and etymology with our server (Stanley Tucci (Jr)'s dad was the photo teacher at my high school, and we've been watching and listening to his more famous son a lot lately), we naturally raved a bit about our order, and watched others at the bar enjoy their different orders similarly. A very nice time overall. We tried to order the tiramisu but it "hadn't set yet." Swear I'll be there when they open tomorrow to see how good That is. read more

Martocci's - Pizza Near Me - Brattleboro, Vermont

Ate there was not impressed. The bartender Shelby I think is very rude and pays no time in wanting to talk to customers. She is much more interested in talking to her husband which is not a ray of sunshine himself. Will not be eating there again. Maybe work on your social skills and not making people feel less then you. read more

We went there often for delicious meals that where flavorful and delicious. It's hard to find something other than pizza or Chinese in Brattleboro. The dishes were creative and we always had a wonderful experience. Now it's just another mediocre pizza place that is overpriced and nothing special. Sad to see the downgrade. Won't be returning read more

The meatballs were delicious, the eggplant parmesan was a balance of crisp and smooth, and the lemon cake was delicately tart. And the service was upbeat and uniquely delightful! read more

So glad we found this restaurant! The food was really great - we ordered olives, bruschetta, two pasta dishes and salmon. Each plate was beautiful and rustic, and truly delicious! Great service, too! What a gem! read more

We stopped in last night to break up a difficult drive during bad weather and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant was warm and inviting, the staff was welcoming with excellent service from Robert and the food was superb (special salad, pizzas and a delightful focaccia bread). We were happily recharged and ready to continue our drive! read more

Good. Pizza is still really good. Not as much a fan of the new menu as I was they previous place, but they're solid.

Great food! Service was a little off but it was a busy night. One thing I wish they'd fix is the heat. It was really cold near the windows where we first seated. We asked to move to another table and they moved us, but reluctantly. It was slightly better at the new table. Hope they can do something to make it more comfortable, or I'll be wearing ski pants to eat there in the winter read more

The ambiance is not that great. The service was okay. The food was great, but it is overpriced. You do not get bread and a salad in the beginning. I thought this was an Italian restaurant. You have to order everything individually. I understand that food prices have gone up, but bread is cheap, and a small salad to go along with your overpriced pasta dish isn't going to break the bank. read more
