    Mangiare Tutto: meatball, pepperoni, bacon, peppers, onions, mushrooms and olives
    Valerie R.

    Usually when I buy Groupons it turns into a mix of sadness and regret for me once I actually redeem them. I always wait until the last minute, like I did with my Groupon for Pizzeria DaVinci. Two large specialty pizzas and a 2 liter of soda, for $20? Sounds great, right? So why did it take me 4 months to use it? I'll never really know. Like John S. said, it's in the middle of nowhere. Yet, it's directly on the route we take to get from Middletown to Middlefield, Meriden and beyond. For years we've said we should stop there. So glad that the Groupon brought us there tonight. I called to place the order and mentioned the Groupon...and was met with happiness, which was a huge surprise to me. I'm jaded with Groupon and businesses that accept Groupon, I actually call it Grump-on because people generally get their grump on when you try to redeem them! Not at DaVinci. The person who took my order was so friendly and nice and even checked to confirm how long the wait would be before I got off the phone (instead of throwing out the arbitrary "20 minutes"). It was 20 minutes and my pizza was coming out of the oven as I walked in the door. It's a small place, you know that from seeing the size of the building. But it smells SO good in there! I could not wait to get my pizza. Their large pizzas are LARGE but they cut their pieces to normal size, which is much appreciated. We ordered the Mangiare Tutto (the "everything") and the Pesto. They complimented each other nicely, one was heavy, the other much lighter. The Pesto had so much garlic, which I absolutely love. The crust - not my favorite. It held up well even on the everything pizza, but had a Pizza Hut-ish quality to it that I can't describe. Buttery? Flaky? I'm not sure. It wasn't bad per se...more like fine. But I'm also a pizza snob and I know it, so I can't downgrade for that. Most people would probably like it, I was just raised on New Haven pizza with a tasty crust and a good char. Even without a Groupon, DaVinci is an excellent value for the size of the pizza and quality of the toppings, given the price. And they have Foxon Park sodas, I was able to get two 1-liter bottles and got to enjoy some birch beer and some root beer. Ahhhh.... We will definitely be back. I apologize to the owners of this wonderful place that it took us so long to get here!!

    The view is so nice

    Davinci has been my top choice. Recently, the pizza was terrible. The crust was soggy, and the pizza had little cheese.

    Great thin crust pizza without the schlep down to New Haven. Very friendly staff who you don't mind leaving a tip to either!

    Apizza Heaven has been on my radar for a while because of social media. Until recently, I didn't…read morerealize they're so close. I decided to try AH on a recent Friday Night. I think I ordered online for takeout and my order was ready within a reasonable time. I ordered a large chicken pesto specialty pizza and a small specialty pizza with standard pizza mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, and piped ricotta. I also ordered a penne all vodka and chicken cutlet. The crust on both pizzas was very good. Good char. A good mix of crispy and chewy. The chicken pesto pizza was terrific. It has chicken cutlet slices, pesto, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and ricotta. Really every part of this pizza was great. Highly recommend. I ordered the 3 cheeses specialty pizza almost out of curiosity, because I've never seen anybody go all in on those cheeses like that. The good news is, that within that pizza, were the components of a very good pizza. The blend of these cheeses didn't completely work for me flavor-wise though. Also, these cheeses produced a bit too much grease. I'd order just the sauce and standard mozzarella next time and I bet it would be very good. The penna alla vodka was a chunky sauce version. The noticeable chunks were mostly onions. I'm used to more of a blended version. I respect that this dish has its own vibe, but I personally prefer a blended version. The sauce flavor was good. The chicken cutlet was very good. I bet they make a great chicken parm. Service was friendly and efficient. Apizza Heaven won't win any beauty contests. The inside is functional. There were a few tables. The outside could use some attention. There were a few random things around the general area. I definitely noticed them when I was walking in. I think people would have a better first impression if those details are taken care of. Overall, I'd rate my experience 4.25 Stars. But I could definitely see getting up to 4.5 or 4.75 on future visits.

Max was exceptional, always smiling and attentive. (My daughters find.) She wanted to try a different pizza place. What kid doesn't like pizza right? And she is very particular with her cheese. First bite she approved immediately. Good wings, I would have preferred them less oily, and great mozzarella sticks . As a bonus we brought a large pie for home .

We arrived early on, what I thought was off hours and ordered in person, the wait time was 4 hours. I don't live far so it was easy to come back. The dining area is tight and pretty basic, so plan on wooden bench in limited space if you are dining in. I would also recommend calling way in advance with your order. As far as pizza goes, I have had the opportunity to sample most of the high profile places and understand why this place deserves to be on the list. The crust is pretty fantastic and overall a really good pie. When we went, there was no line. The grab and go was super simple, cash only. Order ahead, plan accordingly, and enjoy.

Old fashioned decor with old pictures on the wall and well worn but sturdy wooden tables. Pizza was a 3.0. We think that it had too much sauce. We prefer a balance of sauce, cheese and crust. It had the taste of oregano, which we do not want on pizza. We prefer garlic in the taste to oregano. The price was reasonable and it was prepared in a reasonable amount of time.
