    a pizza box
    Jill O.

    Slice of combo pizza from this place was okay. Loved the crust and cheese. But the toppings were not very generous. 4 stars because I am @ Ax and happy I am flying back home and needed a bite before boarding!

    Lobster Roll!!!
    Deidre L.

    OMG. I have met the best and the BIGGEST lobster roll of all time. I. Am. So. HAPPY! Gracious staff, truly exceptional meal. The bun was soft and fresh and toasty and the filling was heavenly. Huge chunks of tasty delectable lobster and virtually nothing else. As it should be, the lobster was the star of the show. Today is my 70th birthday. I travelled from my home in Northern California to do two things: shop the Brimfield flea market...and find the best lobster roll EVER! Two bucket items DONE!!! Thank youLobster Roll

    Ahhh Papa GIno's ( now serving d'Angelo's brand grinder also ) Long gone are the days of caldor and the east brook malls glory days. Grabbing a slice of pie and heading to the back to play videos games while your mom and dad shopped at radio shack and puppy love. 30/40 years gone now ... yet this papa ginos remains In a landscape literally littered with pizza shops This place remains.. Every other papa ginos in Connecticut has closed due to downsizing - see citation below ! Yet ... this one remains Giving back ? Yes - hundreds of high school and college kids made a good living working here during summers Locally owned ? Yes this is a franchised establishment ( I've been told ) To sum up I hope I die before something happens to this place On September 18, 2018, Bunker Hill Capital Partners ended their investment with PGHC Holdings.[8] On November 4, 2018, dozens of Papa Gino's locations closed abruptly, including their only location in Maine, at the Auburn Mall. Bringing the chain from over 150 locations to 97. And yet .. this one survived

Coming from New York, I eat a lot of good pizza and am sometimes disappointed in other states. However, I've had good pizza in parts of CT and Trigo was no exception! We started out with the salad which was absolutely delicious and perfect on a hot day. The lemon vinaigrette kept everything light and fresh and the addition of feta was fantastic. I kept going back for more! We were a party of four and opted for two white pizzas: mushroom bacon and shrimp pesto. I preferred the mushroom bacon of the two. The toppings were very generous and the bacon had a nice sweet flavor to it. The crust was crispy and delicious. Shrimp is one of my favorite foods but something was missing for me in this pizza; I couldn't put my finger on it. It still tasted good, just wouldn't be my go to. These pizzas + salad was plenty and we had a few leftover slices. We capped off the meal with a brownie to share with ice cream drizzled in olive oil. I love this combo and the cold hot effect. All in all, this was a great meal in Willimantic! Prices were great and staff were accomodating and nice. I liked the aesthetics at Trigo and the fresh flowers were a nice touch. Would go back if in the area!

Maybe some better lighting but a very nice interior with vintage grade school chairs!! Food: presented well and very tasty, pizza was good but had to ask for some crushed red pepper and seasonings. The beet gnocchi was excellent and the hummus was great too. The meatballs were in a skillet and were great but possibly needs more sauce Overall: 100% if in the area it's a revisit for me!!!

LOL Tony's is a Greek Style, neighborhood pizza spot. I ordered a large red pizza with "Grinder Meatball", peppers and onions when I was about 15 minutes out. I arrived. I took some pics from the parking lot, and by the time I walked inside, they had just pulled my pizza out of the oven and boxed it. The transaction was easy since I had paid online. If you order this Grinder Meatball topping, which seems to be somewhat of a signature, DO NOT, freak out when you open the box and don't see meatballs. The onions and peppers are on top of the cheese. And they mix up the thin sliced meatballs with the sauce, and put them under the cheese. Given how they work the Grinder Meatball topping, my comments may not apply to all of Tony's Pizzas. First of all, I like this style of thin cut , almost wiry, white onion and green peppers. Good appearance. Good flavor. The crust was medium thick and pan-crisped. Fairly standard Greek Style crust. Also, I liked the cheese, but it could have been a bit more well done for my tastes. It was well melted. But there was minimal marbling on top, which I like. I liked the meatball topping and Tony's gave you a lot of meatball pieces. Here's the only thing I didn't love about this pizza. Because the meatball slices were mixed into the sauce and they were so generous with the meatballs, the flavor of the sauce got lost. I couldn't tell if the sauce was average, good or very good. It just wasn't noticeable in relation to the meatball flavor. I would recommend asking for a side of sauce and dip pizza into the sauce, or maybe add extra sauce to the pizza. I think the crust would hold up to that. This probably wouldn't be an issue if you got a cheese pizza or a pepperoni pizza. Tony's has a bunch of inside seating. I suspect families eat hear regularly. I was there early. So I'm not sure how busy it gets. If I lived in the area, I could see regularly ordering from Tony's. I bet they have good meatball grinders too. 4.25 Stars

The sandwiches we've tried have also been very good, and even the Buffalo wings are tasty. House salad is an okay side, a totally ordinary plate of iceberg lettuce and cukes and green peppers. A palate cleanser. Bigger dinner salads and antipastos are also available, and assume are pretty good, based upon the quality of the other food offerings. The only place NEP&R falls short -- okay, two places -- is the service and the actual dining room. The dining area is wide but only a few tables deep, and the air-lock entrance way cuts the room in half. It can get very noisy, especially if you're seated near a table full of ESCU students, or a screaming kid whose parents don't seem to care (as on our last visit; when they couple left, we could hear people all over the restaurant saying "Whew! Finally!). There is a bar at one end of the dining room with a tv blaring crap. At times the staff seemed more interested on the celebrity profile show than on the diners waiting for attention. That said, they're really friendly. It's just that the don't really seem to be 100% on the ball on any of the times we've eaten in. It's frustrating when you can see the bar fifteen feet away, yet have to wait ten minutes for someone to pour a draft beer (which didn't even come filled to the top of the glass). And that house salad...how long can it take? Aren't these usually mostly pre-made, just toss a handful of lettuce on a plate with some veggies? We got our salad just moments before our pizza came out of the kitchen (and we know how long pizza takes). So, that stuff sounds negative. But really, this place has very good food! For that they earn four stars. One of the best pizzas in the area, if you like this style of pizza. If you like thin crust pizza, seek elsewhere. Highly recommended for take out. If this review was based only on the dining room experience, or the erratic service, it would be a iffy three stars.
