Awesome pizza , stop for quick bite bought one slice had to get a second one. So if you like thin crust pizza this is the spot.

Good food. Friendly staff. Wide variety of food on the menu. I had a sausage calzone. Very good value for the price. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area. Nice relaxed atmosphere inside. read more

Great Greek pizza!! We're driving from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania. We stopped to get gas and saw Pizza palace next to the Wheel 5 gas station. The menu is enormous!! We were so surprised to see such a large menu . I haven't had good Greek pizza in a long time. It did not disappoint. Great menu and the owner personally came out to check in with us to see how everything was. If you stop to get gas in Newtown,, I highly recommend stopping by pizza palace read more

This IS the place to eat in Newtown. They have great pizza and a host of other things to eat to including a GReaT selections n of desserts. I should have taken a picture of the cheese cake. OMG, best ever. read more

Ordered two large pizzas via DoorDash. First large lasagna pizza I forgot to order that one thin crust. This is the pizza that made this review one less star. The lasagna pizza was still very good however for our personal taste it lacked beef. Our cheese pizza though was sooooo good. It came hot so the cheese was nice and melted and had a nice pull to it. I remembered to order the cheese as thin crust and we were happy that style was an option. We will be ordering Newtown Pizza on pizza nigh! read more

Both me and my friend got food poisoning the same night after eating this pizza. I called and the manager and he said if I come in person and speak to the boss I can get a refund. I went in person, and before I got my money back the boss was extremely rude, accusatory, and argumentative. I will never be coming back to this place, and everyone who sees this review should re consider where they order. Sure the food is good, but the way the boss spoke to me was not okay in any circumstance. read more

Mine and my pizza snob Husband's favorite pizza! With all the pizza joints around, Pizza Palace is the BEST!

My kids love going to pizza palace. They love getting a grilled cheese and always are excited for the ice cream after their meal. My go to is either the gyro or the chicken souvlaki salad, both are a meal you won't be disappointed with. Owner and staff are very friendly. Highly recommend!! read more

Still trying out local pizza places to see what our family likes for takeout options. Newtown Pizza Palace was our latest one this past weekend. They have a pretty big menu offering way more than just pizza... so if you have non-pizza eaters, they have you covered! We kept with the pizza theme and got one plain cheese, a pepperoni, and sausage and onion. They have a more Greek style crust (although you can ask for thin) but we opted for their usual thick style as our boys also like this. The pizzas were very good, much like other Greek style pizza we have had. We also got a souvlaki salad and a side of their tzatziki sauce for pita bread. The salad was great and so was the tzatziki sauce. Very fresh and authentic ingredients. We would definitely want to try their gyro based on this. Overall this was a success and we will be back! They offer online ordering and delivery to the local area too! read more

Pizza palace is gross smells like complete garbage. Overpriced for frozen crap. The owner is in denial

It's so sad to see this place constantly empty. There was a time when you'd have to wait in line for a table. The new owner didn't continue what made the original owners so successful: low prices. This is not a fancy place by any means and should not be charging $20 for pasta with butter and cheese. All prices except seafood and steak should be BELOW $20 and many should be below $10. Food quantity: the previous owners had very generous portions with specials that included soup, salad and a side and drink. You got a lot of value. The current owner even skimps on fries. Customers notice and don't come back! Quality: make food you are proud of and make it consistent. This is a place where you expect delicious comfort food, nothing fancy. Newtown has a lot of options now so my recommendation is differentiate on the values Jimmy and his brother delivered on. Also get rid of the cash discount and weird prices. No one cares. read more

I did a take out order since I had no dinner plans for tonight and it was on my way home from work. I've had the pizza here before and was always impressed with the unique crust style that they do here. I'm not one to eat the crust of the pizza but this one I always eat! It's extra crispy and the toppings pretty much go to almost the outer edges leaving just a thin area of crispy crust. Their sauce has a unique flavor as well which I enjoy. The dining area looked like just your typical pizza joint dining with enough seats if you want to come with your family, it felt cozy. My pizza was pretty fast and ready for pick up as soon as I arrived and it was still piping hot. I would order here again! read more

Pizza Palace - a whole pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

excellent pizza. My favorite is the house pizza and another is pepper and onions. Customer service couldn't be better.

Food price / quality (value) rating 9.5. this place uses high quality ingredients and everything is cooked properly. Their Pizza is a Greek style pan pizza with a wonderfully thin crisp crust. I've gotten probably 30 pizzas here in the last 18 months and they've all been perfect! High quality cheeses and meats and generous toppings are always the norm. This is the only pizza I've been eating lately. I would recommend the meatball and hot pepper Pizza or the sausage and hot pepper pizza and always get a large. Easy access from exit 10 off i-84 in Newtown. read more

first things first I have been coming to Newtown Pizza Palace since 1980, all through high school. This was a staple of a place to go on Friday nights when we hung out. The pizza has always been amazing. Thank God the recipe has never changed today. I decided to come from danbury to have a pizza and it brought back memories of my childhood. I just love the Pizza here this place is a gem if I could give this place 10 star review I would. I also just found out that they deliver out to danbury I will be ordering every Friday for now on read more

We had the delicious House Pizza! Perfect combination of feta cheese, spinach, tomato and mozzarella. The crust was the best I ever had! Warm atmosphere, friendly service. Can't wait to come back! read more

this is the first time I've ever experienced bad pizza. Didn't even know that could happen. Asked for thin crust, it's certainly not thin and just DRENCHED oil. Whole thing is soggy. The cheese is almost hard and very little sauce. This really was disappointing. The garlic knots are not garlic-ing. Like at all. They're honestly just bread knots and what I assume might be some garlic powder? Very dry and bland. No real garlic or butter or oil. My husband and I are currently sick and decided to order take out to make tonight easier. And it's safe to say we won't be finishing it. Don't be fooled by the good reviews. There's def better pizza places around. read more

Tonite for dinner, we ordered Fried Calamari and 2 Mediterranean Salads. We've ordered food several times before and it was great, this time, we were very disappointed. For the Fried Calamari, it looked like half an order. For the salads, while the chicken was good, the apples were pulpy and tasteless. read more

My husband and I went here for lunch a couple weeks ago. The food was okay but really no different than any other pizza joint in any other town. The thing about this place that ticked me off the most is that they charge an extra fee for everything if you want to pay with a debit card or a credit card. What I went to the register to pay my check, they told me the price on my bill was going to be more expensive because I was using my card. I told them that in the state of Connecticut it's illegal to do that. They didn't seem to care and they didn't take the extra fee off the check. I was so embarrassed I just ended up paying and left but I'll never be back. read more

Pizza Palace - Menu with extra fees listed - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

I'm just so confused by all the high ratings for this place. I will say I have only tried the pizza but there's nothing good. I picked up a plain slice today for 3.60. It was presented to me in a small Styrofoam container 30 seconds later. It looks like it was cooked 7 days ago and then thrown in the microwave. The lighting in there is like a pub (dismal) and the man behind the counter has no patience and was not overly friendly. Save yourself from this reheated situation and go across the way for a decent sized sliced that was just cooked. read more

Super nice owner. On my first visit treated me with his baklava, and when I came after a week again he remembered my name and were I'm from. Truly, it definitely made me want to come back to the place where people happy to see me and very nice toward me. Newtown Pizza I will come again!!! read more

Ok, if you're going to be called "Pizza Palace" then you better live up to it. This place is more of a mix-of-everything-oh-and-pizza-palace. We came in for a quick slice but everything is sit down or take out. We asked if we could order by the slice and they said yes. It took a while to be made so we might as well just ordered a pie. We got 5 slices for almost $24. The slices are small and massively non filling. They said their slices are big enough and they were not. This is the most expensive, horriblest slice I've ever had. The margarita was LOADED with garlic. I might as well have ordered garlic bread. Basically it's all raw garlic, greased in oil, the crispiest crispy dough with no softness to it. Felt like eating bruschetta with all the crunch. Stay away from ordering pizza and don't be fooled by their name. Worst pizza palace. Not worth it. As far as the other food I don't know and I don't care. I'm just disappointed at being deceived by the reviews and the name. This pizza SUCKS. There's just no other way to put it. I should've known better to not order anything from here when i walked in. They're all rushed, yelling and it feels like some kind of mixed Greek diner. Nothing authentic. Anyways, pizza is horrible. I don't even know how I am even giving them 3 stars. Change your name, change your pizza or don't sell it. Truthfully there's def a clientele for this type of pizza just wish I would've been warned. Oh well. $24 down the drain, garlic full of mouth. Thanks guys I'll be stuck with this for the weekend. Bad taste in my mouth and extremely hungry. read more

Our second visit on the way home from Queens to Massachusetts. Was a late dinner stop but the server and what I presumed to be owner were very friendly and gracious. We will stop again on our journey again from Massachusetts to Queens, back to Massachusetts. Definitely a fabulous place! read more

Ed and I happened upon this place when a near by restaurant had a long wait. What a wonderful surprise!! The menu is huge and varied much like a diner, but even better. Our meals were delicious, the staff was very attentive and made you feel welcome. The restaurant is so much more than a pizza place. If you go there for a meal, you will not be disappointed in any way and will return to try other selections on their menu. Wonderful experience. read more

Very good pizza excellent service, we loved it! What else is there to say 85 characters is a lot.

So it's been awhile since we had eaten here. The food was good, but not great and the prices skyrocketed! A small dinner plate cheese pizza was $12.50. The lasagna was served on a flat plate and it was flat, like two noodles deep. Very strange, especially for $21.00. Can't really say we'll be going back. ​ read more

My boyfriend and I were on a road trip back home and wanted a place to grab some pizza. When we looked for food options that's wouldn't take us too far from the route, Newtown Pizza Palace came up so we thought we'd give it a try. Best. Decision. Ever. First off, the owner and staff are ridiculously friendly. You can tell this is a neighborhood favorite and a family run business. From looking to grab a quick slice, we found ourselves wishing we had more time to sit down and actually enjoy the atmosphere- that's how sweet everyone was! Second, the food was absolutely delicious. The pizza was very nice and the owner was kind enough to give us their homemade Italian dressing to go as people "love it with the pizza" - he wasn't wrong; it was amazing! Additionally, he gave us some free Baklava dessert for the road and him and his son wished us a safe journey back home. The kindness from him is evident throughout the whole business. Last, they were incredibly flexible. At the last second, literally as I was about to pay, I realize they have grape leaves. I ask if there's anyway they could quickly add them to order and without a hesitation the owner personally went back to the kitchen and quickly fixed it up for me. I was so grateful for this because I knew it was last minute and they were SO delicious. Homemade and scrumptious! TL;DR - the food is absolutely delicious and the service is 5+ stars. I look forward to coming back again on my next road trip! read more

Asked for a lite cooked pizza and received a burnt Pizza. The manager opened the box and handed it to me. When I called to complain he yelled and screamed and said he didn't care. Pizza sucks! read more

Sorry but this place has gone so far down the hill. The food is so bad and the service and the prices just make no sense. I don't want to hear about COVID and blah blah blah....bottom like the quality is bad and the prices make no sense I don't even care if it's expensive it just makes no sense and 4% discount if you pay cash is a joke. Just sell at this point. read more

I've been going to Pizza Palace since I moved to town in 1995 and it has always been my family's go to place after games, school events, etc. So my son and I went there last week for a quick meal and boy "what happened "? Our bill was over $70 for a small salad pizza (and I mean small- about 10 inches, 4 slices AND $16.40???) C'mon man! A small buf. Chic salad, small souvlaki salad, a soda and 1/2 carafe wine!!! The $70 DID NOT include tip AND if you pay with a credit card it's an additional 4% more! I know Covid-19 has destroyed restaurants but this mismanagement will now contribute to the place going under. What a shame...add this experience to my last visit- RIP Newtown Pizza Palace...You lost a longtime customer read more

I'm a comedian that before COVID-19 hit, traveled the world about 27 weeks out of the year. I remember flying into White Plains once and calling in an order of my favorite pie. A small pepperoni with hot peppers and mushrooms. it was totally closing time! And I was still 20 minutes away. The owner said "don't worry, wait for you" and stayed open late just for me. The ovens run hotter than your average "joint" ( around 500 degrees) and the ever-friendly owner ALWAYS buys the best cheese. Even when the prices go up (I heard the whole story.) The silver lining along with me spending all this extra time with my family, is I've had the chance to eat a lot of my favorite pizza. A lot ;-) read more

Mediocre pizza. It's Greek style and refinery not the best Greek style I've ever had. Lacked flavor and was underdone. Garlic knots were dry and flavorless. They did have an extensive menu of other items. However I suspect the quality would be about the same. Only go if you are hungry and there are no other options. read more
