Max pizza has been around since the 70's and has 4 locations in Bristol CT. That alone is enough of a reason to give them a try. I only ordered take away from Max's and bought pizza and grinders. The food is fantastic. I have and will be going there again. read more

Horrible service. Very slow. Nobody was there when i came in but it still tool awhile. Almost half an hour for a small pizza. I should've called earlier. The place only has one customer at that time but still very slow. Clean place but very slow. I don't know if i ever go back here. To be honest. read more

Max Pizza - The place at the moment. - Pizza Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Have been coming here for years! They have delicious pizza as well as grinders and other Italian restaurant classics. The service is good and the wait staff is super friendly. Handicap accessible ramp and automatic door is at the back of the restaurant. Can get a bit crowded/loud when there are large parties going on in the other room but other than that a great spot to eat at! read more

Always my pizza and calzone favorite when I come home to visit. This is my second time in the last month. I'm making the rounds. Their pizza has always satisfied my insane pizza cravings and puts a smile on my face. read more

3.8 stars for this restaurant is insane. Max's pizza is a Connecticut staple and might be the single greatest thing about Bristol in general. The pizza is delicious, the staff are hard working, wonderful people, and they've been doing it forever. I live in San Francisco now and I'd toss a nun into traffic to have a Max's pizza out here. Y'all don't know what you got!!! Max's is a shining star in a dark sky. read more

Long time max pizza lover. Lately pies are undercooked and mushy. Really bad. Going to go to pavilion in the future To read more

I spent a good portion of my young years in Connecticut and the one thing I truly miss is the pizza and calzones that come from this weird area of central Connecticut (Yeah, I'm not talking about New Haven style, I want this greasy mildly thick stuff). My plane landed at around 5:30AM on Saturday and I made sure that six hours later I was on my way to Max's Pizza to pick up a calzone and a cheese pizza to go in on (didn't eat both for lunch, but needed both in the house). My calzone was stuffed with mozzarella cheese, sausage, and meatball and my small pizza was simply cheese. The calzone was everything I could of hoped for, the dough was soft but also a little crispy at the same time. The sausage and meatball inside was delicious and cooked to perfection. The mozzarella cheese was ooey and gooey and what else can a man truly want out of calzone cheese? And finally, that red sauce was packing a flavourful punch that had me cleaning my plate when I was done. I won't lie, I did tear into at least one fresh piece of the cheese pizza and I absolutely loved it. Overall, Max's Pizza might just be my favourite pizza place, period. I've eaten pizza pretty much everywhere from New Haven, Chicago, and Las Vegas to Rome, Sicily, and Toronto and there's something about this central Connecticut stuff that is my ultimate weakness. I'll be back in Connecticut later this year and let me tell you this, I'll be back at Max's when I am! read more

Max Pizza - That calzone and pizza love. - Pizza Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Cobb Salad is amazing. Theyre so generous with toppings. Whole strips of bacon, big portions of well cooked seasoned chicken, veg is always fresh. A little to much mozzarella for my liking but for most people the more cheese the better What really makes it stand out is the creamy garlic Italian. Im from out of state but visit often & buy bottle every time. Pizza is also excellent. BLT pizza sounded super weird but is actually really good. Steak & cheese calzone wasnt too good tho but not bad either read more

I stopped here for a quick slice of pizza and I was pleasantly surprised. Do you remember how Pizza Hut had the crispy skin on the bottom w a thick crust? This one was just like that. It was quite good and hit the spot. Extra points for the pac man table arcade machine that you can play while waiting for your slice to warm up! read more

Glad to see Max Pizza grow thru the years just as the residents in Bristol has grown with them. Seeing it expand into the former jewelry store next door to include dining area and a back porch too. We grabbed a clam casino pizza, veggie lovers and Hawaiian for the group of us. The pizza were cut into squares which is always a nice way to share a pie. Full of flavor and toppings you'll always get a nice bite of everything on the slice/square with the hot bite burning the roof of your mouth if you aren't too careful. All in all Max pizza has been a local favorite that isn't going away anytime soon. They have a monopoly with their giant cardboard coupons for free pizzas eventually but they know you'll be back. read more

Best pizza around!! bBQ chicken pizza AMAZING!!! I have never ordered anything from here that I didn't like !! Nachos are awesome but if you eat them there fresh! Service is always great also!! read more

I ordered a large Italian combo and got two pieces of meat on it. Don't know how that's a combo. Called to complain and all I got was sorry. Very disappointing. read more

The pizza is sucks Very fat and meat tastes like not fresh at all. No one recommend. Never eat there read more

just got a pizza it was the worst pizza ever , the crust was all soggy and greasy.I had pizza there before and it was fine but tonight not sure what happen , maybe they have a new cook if it is the case they should fired him.I will be going somewhere else for pizza. read more

Pizza was good, flavorful with a good crisp crust. Seating was nice for large group of people. -1 star for the trip back to speak to Mgr, after the bartender added more of a tip to the credit card. We tipped well, but a second tip was "added" to a split payed check. read more

We get takeout pizza there on a weeknight . I like the flavor of the crust . The counter staff are always friendly .

Their eggplant parm sandwich is good, but service isn't the warmest. Parking is a hassle since it's right on a busy street, making backing out more time consuming than you'd expect. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes are fairly large. read more

I have been searching for something like this ever since I have moved to CT. The true test of a pizza place is if they can make a small cheese pizza, well done. Let me tell you, they make a proper pizza. They also offer many great hot grinders- seriously this place is amazing. I find myself driving to Bristol 2-3 times per week with cravings! There are not to many businesses that are worth the "craving" level of yum. Just make sure you ask them for a pie cut, CT pizza places cut their pizza weird Best orders- medium pepperoni, well done pie cut small cheese Italian combo, lettuce, tomato, provolone, oil- toasted Try it now if you haven't you will be in heaven read more

Great pizza, friendly staff, plenty of seating. We had a large group and they accommodated us nicely.

I have been getting pizza from Max's since I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. I have no idea how the family came upon such perfect recipes and pizza as they have. But it makes for a place where you not only are valued as a life long customer you bring your kids there introducing another generation to their amazing food. What are they serving? Classic comfort food you'd expect to find in any pizza place but with family recipes for meatballs, sauce etc etc. That makes a huge difference. A pepperoni with meatball and mushrooms is to die for and even the shrooms must be seasoned to taste so good. Their meatballs have been a staple for me when it comes to deciding where I'm going to eat out. The staff has been there for a long time, new additions are obviously taught the customer is number one and I can honestly say I don't recall one incident of sending food back. One time I even dropped the pizza on the way out, kinda flat on the floor but in the box with how hit is was the cheese went nuts. The owner said "No it's no problem, you wait here I'll make you another". They're so good to you I was like no I have to pay because that was my own fault. He laughed and said "you come here all the time, I'm making a new one for you". I haven't tried the nachos since they put it in the menu but I hear they're damned good for a pizza place and my buddy was impressed which isn't easy as he cooks like a madman. A must go, if you're new to Bristol welcome to the community and Max's is an established part of ours. read more

Awesome pizza. Good service. Never a complaint! I def recommend going there if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. read more

Max Pizza - Hawaiian pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Max Pizza is the BEST pizza!!!! My husband is suuuuper picky about his pizza and compares every pie to that of his favorite neighborhood pizza shop next to his home where he grew up - and he agrees that Max is on par with the best of the best! We feel so lucky to have this just down the street from us. The pizza is the best and the prices are fair. We also tried mozzarella sticks here and they were delicious too. We dined in for dinner once and they had very good service, and they also have beer and wine - and ice cream! I need to come here for dessert next time. Always friendly service and really awesome pizza. You won't be disappointed! read more

Max Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

I've always loved Max 1 (Stafford Ave. in Bristol) pizza since I was a kid. Its been awhile since I've gotten pizza from them because, here in Forestville/East Bristol Oasis was our go to for Greek pizza. Now that Oasis has changed ownership and become The Bell City Diner, they no longer make pizza so we decided to go to our old favorite Max. Called in my take out order and was told 20-25 minutes...perfect. Got to Max's to pick up and was short 10 cents.....a dime! Of course I have a dime in the car, but the woman behind the counter said "Don't worry about it." I asked if she was sure and she waved me off with a smile. Some of you may think "yeah....so what?" Or " I dont see what the big deal is to this story/review." The thing is, in my experience, no one does this anymore. Sure maybe for a couple pennies, but a dime seems too much for most businesses to let go. Maxs Pizza did just that, let it go. I guess the point to my review here is that the woman at Maxs pizza restored my faith a bit that there is kindness in this world, no matter how little, its still there. Got our pizza home and it was amazing, everything I remembered! Maxs will be our go to for Greek pizza from now on!! Thank you Maxs 1 pizza! 108 Stafford Ave Bristol, CT read more

The orginal max pizza is.one of my pizza places i enjoy all.the different types of pizzas they have but meatball, bacon mushroom cooked a little longer is to die for the salads are good sizes as well great place read more

This is NOT regarding the Stafford Ave location I went to the new Max for on Middle Street tonight with a party of 10. server was fantastic however pizzas took 55 minutes to get to the table. And we had two toddlers with us and they wanted us to put pizzas in front of the toddler's because there wasn't enough space on the tables and refused to give us additional space. cats are pizzas on top of the high chairs and had to hold the toddlers while we tried to eat the food that came out cold and burnt. read more

Used to be very good now they suck, the prices they charge and everything was over cooked so disappointed, will never go back bye bye

A great little hometown pizza joint. No frills here, these guys just sling amazing pizzas all day long. In 20+ years of living in Bristol, I can't say that I've ever had a bad experience with Max Pizza. The staff there is quick and efficient and the pizzas are always hot and fresh. There's a reason they have 5 locations these days. Chunky Tomato holds a special place in my heart for the best pizza in Bristol... but Max is an extremely close second and always hits the spot. read more

LOVE their food My family and I have been going to max's for years, even since I was a child. Love the food and the customer service and had a family dinner parties. Always great!!!! read more

I went to Max Pizza the other night with my family for my father in law's birthday. It was A Friday night, and very busy- which I thought was a good sign. But I was wrong. Our waitress seemed very overwhelmed throughout our dinner, and was slow to help. My partner's french onion soup tasted like "dish water", according to him. I agree it needed a lot more seasoning. That was disappointing because it looked yummy upon first glance. We also got tacos. Yes, this pizza restaurant has tacos. Yes, they taste just as odd as you'd think a pizza shop's tacos would taste- down to the use of mozzarella cheese! I would compare them to school cafeteria tacos- edible but not delicious by any means. I shouldn't have expected much of them anyways. Now, when the pizza came out, it was barely cut! We were ripping piping hot slices apart and cheese and sauce was sliding everywhere! As for the good parts of the experience, our waitress changed the channel to the Red Sox game at our request (even if she made it seem like it was the biggest chore ever), and the boys loved the Pac Man arcade machine. I would probably get Max's again but as take out. It was so busy in there, the waitresses couldn't possibly be as attentive as they needed to be. The lighting was really bright- like supermarket bright, and it was just loud and busy. We were seated right next to the noisy line of people getting take out orders, so that took away from the dining experience too. The cheesy garlic bread was also pretty good. read more

Max Pizza - Awesome vintage Pac Man arcade machine helps pass the time! - Pizza Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Get the salad!!! Especially with the Creamy Italian Garlic dressing. It is soooooooo good. I always forget about this spot until I want a good salad. Big servings with fresh meat and veggies. The chicken ceaser and cobb are my favorites. I honestly don't think I have tried anything else from here lol I like this location the best personally. read more

Sad, they can't follow simple request when customers place an order. This is not the first time it's happened, so now I'm a little annoyed.

This is a small town pizza place that serves average food for average prices. The pizza is Greek style and doesn't stand out. However, it doesn't severely disappoint either. If you're unsure on size, I'd say a small is leaning towards a personal size and a medium is plenty for two people or even three. We tried Jalapeno poppers, which were of the standard frozen variety. My wife digs the Chefs salad, but let's be honest, it's iceburg lettuce, deli meat and cheese. Take out service was friendly and quick. Overall, there's nothing wrong with grabbing Friday night takeout from here, especially if you live in Bristol or nearby. Just limit your expectations. read more

Max to me is the best pizza in CT. I've been going there since I was a kid in the 80's and the pizza has stayed the same great quality and flavor! Their salads are also excellent. Although I have moved out of CT, Max will always be a stop when I visit. It's my fav read more

I hadn't been to Max's in almost 10 years, and I really wanted to try something other than my go-to. I dined in on a busy Friday night, almost the entire dining room was full. There was only 1 waiter, whom after speaking to only was working there for a few weeks. He was on top of every table and one of the most friendly and personable people that has ever served me. For being new, he totally exceeded my expectations. Everyone in the back was on their toes and the food came out quick and hot. The onion rings were perfect and the pizza was delicious and exactly what I remembered growing up. This place will definitely be on my rotational list of local pizza places! If you haven't tried the food, you must give them a try! read more

I have only ever gotten a plain cheese pizza here, I love it though. The sauce is incredible and just over all delicious.

Completely baffled by how this could be conisdered good pizza by anyone who has a rudimentary understanding of the art... Greek-style pizza is hard to get right, especially with that thicker crust. Ideally, it should be soft, buttery, a little crisp on the outside. Not tough, chewy, and Domino's-esque, for lack of a better adjective. So yeah, Max Pizza reminds me of Domino's, and that's anything but a compliment. In fact I'd probably prefer a Domino's pizza... at least it would be cheaper. I should also mention that I'd probably never think to sit down to eat here... it's very, very old inside, and not in a dank dive bar sorta way. Consider take-out orders only if you plan to try their pizza. It's not inedible, it's just not particularly good pizza. The mere $2.00 one pays for a pepperoni slice seems appropriate given the quality of product received. read more

Some of the best pizza in Bristol, with their buffalo chicken in particular being my favorite - a great blue cheese flavor with pieces of real (unlike other pieces of chicken I've seen on pizzas before) grilled chicken covered in buffalo sauce. Can't say I've tried any of their other food before, but all I'm really looking for from a place like that is great pizza, and they deliver on that front! read more

Wow this place is great. Hands down best pizza place in town. It's a Greek style thick crust. They offer other options such as dinners as well. Only used takeout, yet the restaurant offers a good amount of seating and the times I've gone in it was very busy (busy means it's good). Parking is odd, atleast leaving the parking lot. If you pull in off the street it's tricky to get back into Stafford Ave, however if you go maybe either back in or look for parking behind the restaurant. Update- we've been back several times. I no longer think it's the best pizza in Bristol, it's the best pizza in the area in general. Unless your traveling down to New Haven for Modern or one of the other major establishments. This pizza is hands down in another league compared to other pizza places in the area. Amazing. It is the thick crust, but the sauce and toppings are terrific. We've also gotten a Max salad, and calzone which are also terrific. read more

This is the type of place most of us who grew up in suburban towns in New England remember from when we were kids. A family kind of place where you can relax and hang out and share a big pie or call ahead and pick up your order. They're pretty popular in both aspects, and that's why the place is still here, doing it the same way as when we were kids. Their pizza sauce is sweet, and its better to get a large because you get a better crust, and they have Long Trail on draft which is a nice near-craft beer selection. My mom grew up in the neighborhood behind the shop and the owners have treated my family pretty well for about 40 years or so. Extra star for great hospitality. It's good, solid, neighborhood pizza parlor fare. You'll have a good time eating here. read more

Been eating here for almost 30 years. Pizza hasn't changed and is great! I love it for take out. Eat in isn't the best but the pizza is what you are there for. If you buy 10 large they give you the next free. read more
