A 5 year old little girl recommended Pizza Pal to me saying "It's pretty good. When I was 3 I went there", so I believed the 5 year old and ordered a Greek salad with chicken on my payday. I had initially graved a Caesar salad with chicken but once I saw the price with protein I had to get the salad with the most variety in terms of veggies. I wanted the most ingredients for my dollar. The establishment was clean. Plenty of seating for both casual and for more formal seating the restaurant is divided in half with fancier decor toward the right ride of the building. The bathrooms were set back down a hallway which is great for privacy and odor. I enjoyed the posting hanging on the bathroom wall ... straight forward but a polite reminder to clean up after yourself. I ate in my car since I was having a dramatic phone call. The salad was visually appealing and immediately filled the car with a delicious, savory, aroma of herbs & spices. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The dressing was yummy and the portion great. The price though for the salad $21.95! Very rich! The most I've ever paid for salad was maybe $12-$15 dollars and that's including protein. The salad had great flavor and it was well done. However, at this price I might as well sit down inside and get table service. PRO: Great tasting food, plenty of off street parking and clean interior. CON: The price. It's basically $22 for a salad. I would recommend this restaurant because what I ate was very good. I would go again to sit down and experience the table side service on the more formal half of the restaurant ... after I work some over time hours to pay for it all. No wonder the 5 yr old remembers eating there when she was 3. read more

Pizza Pal - Greek Salad with grilled chicken - Pizza Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

I have going to this pizza spot on and off throughout 2023. The pizza is good the best thing about the pizza is the crust, crispy and light. The cheese is used generously but not over done. The flavor is not out of this world but it is better than many. The sauce is bitter sweet and works well with the rest of the pizza. read more

Pretty solid pizza all the way out in CT. I did love the crust of my pie. Not too chewy but not too crunchy. Sauce was decent, but I'll be honest and say I've definitely had better. I had pepperoni with mushroom pie that was really good and would try again if ever in the area. A fellow yelper recommended me to this place a bit over a year ago bit with Covid-19 the trip was a bit delayed lol Clean place, nice staff. Looks to be a local gem. Quality pizza is always a go in my book! read more

I always get take-out, but the seating area seems quite nice. The staff is prompt and courteous, and the grinders (subs for you out of towners) are absolutely delicious. Pizza is Greek style, not NY thin crust, and very tasty. Proud to support my local independent pizza shop! read more

I've driven by this place so many times and yet never tried it out. The little plaza it's in is not that inviting nevertheless the food is worth stopping in for. We ordered gyro platters and a small special pizza. The gyros were very good with fresh ingredients and tasty tzatziki sauce. French fries also hit the spot, nice a crispy. The pizza was very good too, plenty of toppings and a nice crispy crust. read more

So after years of consistently coming to this Pizza parlor, I decided to try the competition a few weeks ago to see if the propaganda was accurate regarding New Haven having the best pizza in the country (USA). I am proud to say that the pizza parlor that my mom discovered back in 1975 (Pizza Pal) has the best pizza in the Country. Hand down. CONGRATULATIONS PIZZ PAL PS: I been living living in NJ since 1980.. That means I travel 2 hours to enjoy this phenomenal pizza. read more

I was given a gift certificate which they declined to accept. I understand times are hard nowadays but a friend wasted $25 dollars here as a gift for me that will never be. The owner had no interest in finding a solution. He took the grinder back and walked away without any hesitation. As a long time NB resident and frequent patron, I was left disappointed and hungry. read more

This review is based on the ham and cheese sandwich and cheese pizza. So let's start with the ham and cheese sandwich, the bread is nothing to brag about feels like it might have been out all day. The contents of the sandwich were ok, the real issue I had with this sandwich was how much lettuce there was on it. There was enough lettuce on it to feed a village full of rabbits. Now the pizza was ok, the sauce was good but definitely a little too burnt. read more

Pizza Pal - Pizza Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

I wish there was a zero rating as this place had the worse toppings on a crust and the worse tasting crust ever.

I absolutely love love love their food! I haven't had a thing that I haven't liked. My absolute favorite is their chicken cutlet grinder. Mayo, lettuce, tomato and cheese and toasted in the oven! read more

Well I've been a customer of Pizza Pal for at least 50 years - this is the 2nd change of hands and new owner actually sucks because there is no attention to who ever is taking the orders. I ordered a chopped salad with a scoop of tuna - it is lent and I am a catholic - my "chopped" salad had ham, pepperoni and grilled chicken - what part of chopped salad with scoop of tuna describes what I got - too boot the price paid for something I never received - sorry Hanie - will never go back to Pizza Pal and and will NEVER ERVER RECOMMEND IT - I had no choice but to rate it one star but you actually need a negative 5 read more

Pizza Pal has many different options besides just pizza. I am willing to say that there is something for everyone here, even a vegan like myself (hello, veggie hummus wrap). The service here is usually friendly and accurate. read more

Love this place. Pizzas are consistently good. Another review mentioned that they are Greek style and that is true; you're not going to find anything like an NY thin crust anywhere near here. That said, the hybrid between thin crust and pan pizza can be a welcome addition to any pizza rotation. I actually come here for the grinders (subs, hoagies- whatever). The bread is always fresh and crusty, and the fillings are generous. I ordered a cheeseburger grinder that was chock full of (perfectly cooked to rare) beef and desired toppings. My $12.75 grinder was worth ever penny. Additionally, I always order and then sit at the counter to enjoy a beer while my food is being prepared. This place has some of the friendliest staff around, and they're always happy to make conversation. Pizza Pal is a dependable spot for good pizza, grinders, and friendly staff. read more

Pizza Pal is not exactly about to throw their hat into the Wooster Street ring, but my experience still earns them some credit. I'm just not a big fan of thicker crust pizza. Though usually it's because the final product is a giant slice of dense bread with a smattering of cheese and sauce. Ugh... drives me nuts. But applaud Pizza Pal for at least getting their proportions right. They put a LOT of cheese on their pies here, enough to generally warrant the thicker-than-average crust below it. That said, I wish the crust was a little less dense, and the cheese less burnt [Burnt crust is good, cheese... not so much], but they're still a thumbs up in my book. I strolled in a solid 90 minutes after they ordinarily stop serving slices (3PM), but they happened to have 2 left, which were warmed up and served promptly to me. $6 and change for two hefty slices and a Snapple. A good lunch, especially for poverty-laden New Britain. read more

At first glance this place doesn't look the best. But the inside was clean and the food was so good! And you can tell the owners and staff care about their customers. Pizza sauce is excellent it taste like a homemade pie. Will be stopping by again soon. read more

Take Out Pizza!! As a server myself, most late nights usually come down to either a) a pre-planned refrigerated dinner, b) Burger King or Arby's, or c) go hungry. Thats when we found Pizza Pal. Easy take out, decent food, and open late. Small pizzas are perfect sizes for individuals. read more

I have very mixed opinions on this place. The first time I ordered I got a Greek salad to go and they gave me no dressing. I've done calzone takeouts for my boyfriends mother that she liked. I actually sat down for the first time tonight.. I guess their salads are premade asking for no celery was a big deal but they had no problem accommodating it. I asked for two dressings and they forgot one- but the time they came out with the around my meal was ready. I got a hot ham and cheese grinder with extra meat which looked like this picture... I'd hate to see what it looks like with plain meat. It was cold and the cheese wasn't even melted. My boyfriend however got a Philly steak wrap which was so good and the fries were amazing!! Tough call. I'd never go back for a grinder though read more

Pizza Pal - The "double meat" grinder I referenced in my description - Pizza Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

You can never go wrong with their pizza, wings, and fries. Definitely a good go-to order out spot in New Britain.

Great cozy place! The workers are always extremely friendly. Their deep dish pizza is the best I've had in the entire state. I've never had a bad experience here, and consistency is important to me. Everything from the chicken parm to the subs to the wings are quality! The mozzarella sticks are TO DIE FOR! The cheese is so fresh I would definitely recommend that you try them if you go here. read more

Good food and great wait staff. Atmosphere is dingy but the portion size is outstanding and the flavor of the food is sensational.

We have only been here once and I love that they are playing Christmas music. It is very nice that they are in the holiday spirit. There is Christmas lights up. Very beautiful. Their food is good in my opinion. The crust for their pizzas are cooked very well but my husband thought it was overcooked. Not hard where you will break a tooth. Lol. But their prices are very high and I am not use to paying over $16.00 for a cheese pizza. I am used to paying between $12.50-$13.50 for a large cheese pizza. For a 1 topping pizza it is $19.00. The price of their drinks are reasonable for $2.35 with free refills. Their chef salad is not priced to high ($11.50) but I usually pay max $9.95. But the chef salad is worth the price. It is very fresh. The wait staff is very nice. If I am back in the area I will definitely be back. read more

Pizza Pal most definitely makes my very favorite pizza! It's a great place to go to either eat in or take out. I am a regular customer, and I always order a veggie pizza (with eggplant!) and it's consistently excellent. The crust is crisp and delicious - never soggy. My friends and family are fans, as well. :) In addition to the amazing pizza, the staff is always pleasant and punctual. Give it a try! read more

Decent take out pizza. Greek Style, can get soggy in the middle if you load it with too many toppings (special). Otherwise a great go-to place. read more

Great food, nice staff. This is our go-to pizza joint when we are too lazy to make dinner. I usually get a salad, which are always fresh and accompanied by bread which is also always fresh. My husband gets pizza or a calzone, and it comes piping hot and delicious. Sometimes we will split a grinder for lunch, they are big enough to fill us both up. But the best thing on the menu is the mozzarella sticks. They are ginormous!! I'm perfectly happy with two or three cheese sticks and a side salad for dinner. Yum!! read more

Ordered a cheese Pizza to try it. It was okay, not a lot of cheese on it. It's not the best in Greater Hartford, but it's not the worst either. read more

They make a classic central CT Greek style pie. Crust is good, nice and crisp. For thin crust fans drive to New Haven, even better than NY.The staff are friendly. They are spot on with timing. When they say 20 minutes they mean it, unlike some other places. Good value too. read more

Pizza Pal has been a part of my life since I was a kid. All birthday parties required sheet pizzas from Pizza Pal. Wonderful owners and staff. read more

Great food and great service. Amazing wings. My brothers and I are from out of town and were trying to find a casual place to meet and just talk. We arrived and sat in the dining area to the right of the main entrance. We were greeted by a friendly server who made us feel welcomed. The 3 of us ordered and the food came out nice and hot and tasty!!! We sat and talked and just caught up on life. The server cleaned the table and let us know we could sit and talk as long as we wanted. What the server didn't know is that we needed this time to chat. Losing our mom has been hard and anytime we can spend together is a Godsend. I feel bad we never got her name but if anyone is reading review this please let her know how much we appreciate her service and allowing us to sit and talk. It's a gift of time we all appreciated. The wings are the best and salads delicious. The 3 of us agreed we already know where we will meet again. We visited on Saturday, June 23, 2018 read more

If you go home hungry from Pizza Pal, then there is something wrong. The variety on the menu along with specials on the board offer some great meals. Lately there have been mac and cheese bites offered...OMG they are to die for. The owner and staff are friendly, courteous and professional. Remember the commercial that said "try it you'll like it"? Well - you be the judge. read more

My favorite pizza place ever. It's everyone in my family's favorite place. Everything here is good and I mean EVERYTHING. Of course the pizza is the star but their grinders are the best - Literally the best tuna grinder I've ever had in my life, and I've eaten many. Calzones are huge and stuffed to the max. Soups and salads are not just sides but full meals in and of themselves. We are here as often as fiscally responsible :) read more

Super Delicious Pizza! Try the calzones very good too! Buffalo Chicken wrap is to die for! Nice owners too!

Absolutely love, love, love this place! The pizza is always perfect, in my opinion. The price is very fair, and when I call ahead and pick it up, it's always ready for me. I Never have to wait for it. I think the service is great. Lucky me, I only live 2 miles away! ;-D read more

I've been eating pizza here all my life and even though I don't live nearby anymore, I make special trips to get this pizza. I can't describe what makes it so good all I know is I love it! read more

I decided to order pizza from here since it had been many years since I last had pizza from here, So I did take out on a Friday night. I called around 7:05pm to place my order a small cheese pizza under the name Alex. After leaving work I go there to pick it up and when I get to the counter I tell them my name and what I ordered and they told me that we do not have a small cheese pizza under the name Alex, the man behind the counter asked me if I called pizza palace but I read him the phone number on a piece of paper I had and It was their phone number. I thought was odd that they did not have my pizza there when I came to pick it up, so the cook asked me if I wanted him to make it now and wait 15 minutes and I said yes because I had the choice of waiting there or waiting for another pizza parlor to make it so why not just get it here. I got the pizza and was charged $9.31 which I feel is alot for a small cheese pizza. The pizza was good but not worth what I paid so I probably won't be returning here. read more

Great food. Great service. Had Chicken Parm and there was more than I could finish. Friendly and helpful waitress. The pizza looked great too. read more

Best italian combo grinder I have had. Get it toasted. They also have beer here. Nice people and good food.

I've been eating at Pizza Pal for many years now. However, that all changed tonight. I took my family there for dinner for my son's birthday. There were 9 of us. We ordered several pizzas and some apps. We also ordered 2 - 2 liters of soda. When the bill came, they had charged us $11.00 for 2 bottles of soda. I questioned them assuming this was definitely an error. But it wasn't. They charge $5.50 per 2 liter bottle of soda. They admitted they charge double if you buy a 2 liter and eat there. It's $2.50 if you get it to go. That is ridiculous!! I spoke with the man that I believe is the owner and expressed my shock at the price. I just spent $150 on dinner. I thought for sure he would at least offer to do something -- he didn't. He argued with me. So for $11 he just lost 9 customers. read more
