Honestly, I'm not mad about it. I wanted a late night snack and there wasn't much else open in this part of downtown Hartford. Pietro's Pizza came in clutch! Not sure why everyone is hating but the NY style pizza slices were pretty large and you can even see how I split my pizza into two so I even got my monies worth. A bit greasy but that comes with the territory and nothing that some napkins won't fix to dap the extra oil. It was yummy and I finished it in my hotel room afterward. It's pizza. Come on peeps. Yes, more pizza please!

Red Velvet Cake

Stopped by Pietro's for a quick to-go order while walking through downtown Hartford. I grabbed a medium pepperoni pizza, a slice of red velvet cake, and a tiramisu--and overall, I was pleasantly surprised! The pizza was really solid--crispy crust, generous pepperoni, and melty cheese that held up well even after the walk home. The sauce was on the milder side, but it balanced nicely with the salty pepperoni and bubbly cheese. The red velvet cake was soft with a good amount of frosting, and the tiramisu had that classic creamy texture, though I would've liked a little more espresso flavor. Still, both desserts were satisfying. Friendly and efficient. I placed my order at the counter and it was ready in about 15 minutes. Staff was helpful and kept things moving even with a few people ahead of me. No issues at all--just easy and smooth service. Classic no-frills pizza joint--clean, casual, and comfortable. There were a few tables filled when I stopped by, and the vibe felt relaxed. It's not trying to be upscale or trendy, just a solid spot to grab a slice or take something home. Would definitely come back to try one of their specialty pies or maybe even dine in next time. A good spot for dependable pizza and sweet treats in the heart of downtown!

Pietro's Pizza - A Local Favorite That Feels Like Family I've been getting pizza from Pietro's since 2010, and it's been a go-to spot ever since. Their buffalo and downtown slices are personal favorites--perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and always satisfying. One thing that never changes? The mountain of garlic knots by the register that tempts you every time you walk in. They're just as good as they look! The staff is always nice and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with family. That feeling was especially clear when they made a giant, delicious lasagna for my great-grandma's 95th birthday--it was a hit with the whole party and showed the care they put into everything they make. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or catering a special occasion check them out!

I got a couple of slices of garlic roll because they look amazing and a cannoli made fresh.WHY they rated just 3.5? the food is great. The service is great. Don't believe the nay-sayers and get over here for some great food

Got some pretty decent pizza from here last night. My husband had the pepperoni pie and I had the chicken Alfredo. I liked the Alfredo pizza, but it could have used a bit more cheese. The garlic knots sadly were not good. A bit over cooked and lacking flavor, they definitely needed less time in the oven and garlic.

Went to Salute on a Friday night without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to get a table…read morefor five within five minutes. That said, it was clearly busy, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation on peak nights--we got lucky. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our waiters were very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Portions are generous. The cheesy bread appetizer is a must-order--warm and perfect for sharing I ordered the cod and salmon, and both were absolutely delicious, cooked well and full of flavor. The wine selection is also strong, with plenty of good options to pair with the meal. Overall, a great Italian spot with great food, service, and atmosphere. I would happily go back.

My girlfriend and my trip to Salute for our 2 year anniversary was stellar- from start to finish…read more I'll get all the basic stuff out of the way first. The food, fantastic. I got the pasta à la vodka with chicken, and my girlfriend got the pesto gnocchi chicken dish. Everything came fast, warm, and fresh- cooked to perfection. We also got the cheese garlic bread as a starter, which was delicious and the perfect size as to not spoil your dinner. Finally, we split an order of the chocolate lava cake which was one of the tastiest desserts I'd ever had. Now, onto the even more impressive details. First things first, calling in, and then changing the time for our reservation was very easy, and the man who picked up the phone seemed very excited to have us coming in to the restaurant. Upon arrival, it was clear the host (Jimmy) was the same person on the phone, as he remembered my name and was immediately incredibly hospitable and friendly. Jimmy asked me and my girlfriend how long we'd been together, and we told him "2 years today!" This at first seemed like typical small talk on the way to the table (which I should mention was arguably the best seat in the house, a table right by the front window in a nice quiet area of the restaurant), but I was quite impressed when the first thing our server, Vincent, said to us a few minutes later was "Happy anniversary." Vincent was very helpful and made sure to circle by our table frequently enough to make sure we had everything we needed, but not to the point where it was unnecessary- perfect!! As you can see in the attached image, our lava cake came with a nice happy anniversary message, and I'd like to remind you that this was all just from us mentioning it to Jimmy, once on our way in. We were treated to some goodies to take home separate from what we ordered, as well as a nice half off discount on the parking lot up the street. And it was to my great surprise and graciousness that when I peeked at the bill, our dessert was missing- based on the service we received, I would be surprised if this was a mistake. In summary, our trip to Salute was nothing short of a 5 star review. Excellent food, clean bathrooms, calm and friendly atmosphere, and I do not understate this when I say that the service was IMPECCABLE. Thank you very much to Jimmy, Vincent, and Salute as a whole for a wonderful evening- we will be back.

So then I tried the white sangria and that was very good . For happy hour they offer an option of different sliders ( 1 for $6 for HH) I tried the chicken slider which was amazing highly recommend my friends loved the caprese and the regular beef sliders all were amazing can't go wrong . I personally don't recommend the HH pizza it's just too small I recommend just getting the regular size honestly . The chips for happy hour are great for sharing they give you plenty for just $3 ! Overall great time , good service ( though it did take a little while to get our food ) , great atmosphere ( and on weekend they do have a Dj at night which is fun )

It's a shame that the 2 elderly gentlemen who decided to go a family restaurant on a Saturday didn't see exactly how quiet the 2 yr old got when the fried mozz came or when he and his cousin were watching something on a cell phone. Point is, the entire restaurant was loud, it's not a wide open space, there was no wildness or kids out of control going on and should never have been singled out simply because those old to foggys were behind us. We'll be back every 2 weeks as usual, but this was the first let down we've ever had.

I may or may not be contemplating a couple of Tums. I'm conflicted on this 2/5 rating since I wish there was a 2.5/5 option here. There are some promising things about Frank Pepe's: a coal-fired oven, photos of the same white clam pizza I ordered that look more like pizzas I had in Italy than the one I got, and other options for toppings that might work out better. Perhaps asking for light garlic and maybe the addition of the calabrian chilies from the seasonal special pizza (or pickled jalapeños, if available) would've fixed the balance (and topping palatability) of this pizza. A different pizza also may be substantially tastier, but goshdarnit, we're close enough to the ocean that I'd like to think the white clam is a slam-dunk. It's even listed in neon in the window! As ordered, unchanged, off the menu, though, I feel like I need to leave this state for a pizza just to feel something. Connecticut calling itself "the pizza state" has thus far been a lie; a cruel joke wherein a few outstanding outliers try to gloss over the fact that most of the state's pizza is mid-to-bad. "Mystic Pizza" being one of the state's most famous audiovisual exports sort of fits given that the availability of standout pizza here appears to be a mystical unicorn I've yet to find after moving here last year. Pepe's gets serious props for using large chunks of clams that don't look like the typical, uniformly cut, restaurant-supply-can chunks, but they were a bit rubbery and almost completely drowned out by the amount of garlic. It's like they were cooked too long, and the moisture from the clams evaporated accordingly. The crust had a little crunch to it as well, but lacked the crispy bubbles and heavier charred spots I expect from this style of pizza and from the assorted menu photos. Either go foldable or go harder on the fire--anywhere in between lands in disappointment territory. Commit to a bit. $8 a pint is a bit much for basic beer selections like Sam Adams and Peroni, too, but that's sort of my least concern. We live in Hell where everything is expensive lately, and at least beer prices haven't shot up as badly as gas prices. I probably should've ordered the sangria in hindsight. White peach? Here for it. Also, the staff was friendly, and service was prompt. I really should give it a second chance with a more traditional tomato-sauce pizza, or maybe a margherita. If you go, expect it to fall short of the hype unless whoever made the nicely bubbly white clam pie in the photos posted here is manning the oven. Unless you like garlic as much as I like cheese, consider asking to go light on the garlic for a better-balanced pizza if you order this one.
