They have legit wood fired pizza - but a lot of spots have wood fired pizza. What makes them stand out is the thick crust Detroit style. You won't find a better thick crust at any pizza place in a ten mile radius (and, I have checked). The space is a bit small, but it works. The bartender that seems to always be there is a standout among bartenders. There's a karaoke night that's fun to watch and is populated by good-natured, supportive locals just hanging out and enjoying themselves read more

Food isn't bad but also isn't great. Typical pizzeria with other options. Buffalo wings were tasty and well sauced. Meatballs are a little bland but a sprinkle of salt fixed it. Pizzas are thin crust and okay. Service was fine. I wish some servers would just bring over a refilled soda when they see that we're running low. It gives that attention to detail finesse. Having said that, we requested multiple refills during our dining experience. Ambiance is chill. Everything is mostly black and red. I can't say the metal chairs are comfortable but the booths are! Given there's so many pizza places to choose from, especially in Vernon, I probably would return to this establishment. read more

I picked up a small Margherita pizza for dinner after ordering online. It was ready so fast! It's a good thing I live close! The hostess was so sweet and brought my pizza out quickly. It was a thin crust pizza but honestly the crust was a bit tough. The toppings were hot and fresh though. I'd love to try the Bella Parmigiana- which is like eggplant parm but they put hamtini on it. Requesting no hamtini is not an option when ordering online. I could have called but I like seeing the total before ordering. I like this place. They have a huge screen tv. A World Cup match was on! The bar was almost full on an early Friday evening. Somehow the noise level was irritating- like a metal sort of sound. The patio with the fire pit is a nice vibe when the weather is pleasant. read more

Square Peg Pizzeria Vernon - Margherita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

Loved our 1st visit to Square Peg! We got there around 3:00 Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Our server Avery was amazing! Friendly and efficient. We stated with fried mozzarella from the happy hour menu (Avery informed us smaller portion / cheaper pro). We got 2 freshly cooked sticks and they were amazing! Crispy abd soft fresh cheese inside. So good we thought about getting another order but our pizzas came out really fast which saved us! There's so many different kids of pizza. I'd call theirs Artisan Brick oven. It came out quickly and was served hot and perfectly cooked. She got pepperoni and I got ricotta and roasted red peppers. Both were excellent. The pepperoni was a tad spicy and small round pieces. Perfect. The ricotta was fresh in fact everything was. We both really liked the pizza - crust was perfect on the edges and thin so not filling. The place is cute avd happy hour specials great. Daily from 2-6 (I think) and Friday & Saturday night 8:30-11 they have $6 cheese & $8 pepperoni pizzas!! Great stop and we will be back soon!! read more

Finally was able to stop in and try Square Peg after hearing so many great reviews from word of mouth. WOW were we missing out! For our first visit we ordered 3 items off of their specials, in order of my favorite to least was the suncruiser bucket, wow hopefully this is a main item soon! Blueberry lemonade suncruiser, raspberry vodka, sprite and for $9 you can't beat it! Spicy potato puffs were so tasty and flavorful we could not stop eating them. I just wish there were more! Then in third place was the chicken parm pizza honestly was underwhelming. However the chicken bacon cacciatore was the all time best pizza we tried. This will be my go to for next time to go along with my suncruiser bucket and sweet potato puffs. We were the only people in the place but we also went on a Tuesday night. Our service was great, we were surprised at how fast our food came out considering they use a woodfired oven. Planning our next visit asap! read more

Good meatballs, good cheese, wet sauce This time around, I opted to try their lunch items to go. When I went to pick things up, noted some enhancements. They added sound proofing to above the bar and textured the walls a bit with exposed brick facades. So I do appreciate the attempts to improve the dine- in experience. The lunch special was 10 bucks for half a portion or a full small cheese pizza, so I got it all to try. The meatballs were not as great as the first time I got them, but still pretty good. Little dense, but a great pork flavor. The spaghetti was hollow, which is a unique twist I didn't see coming. The sauce they use for the spaghetti and meatballs and the pizza is the same, they just use less of it for the pizza. That sauce works well for the pasta. It does not work well for the pizza. It's too watery, which prevents the crust from cooking. I've typed this ad nauseum at this point. Which is really sad because the cheese is actually pretty good. The crust is good, the cheese is good, but they almost like clockwork mess up the cooking and it's very much the sauce that's to blame. They've corrected for most everything up to this point, they just got one last hurdle to clear. If you decide to dine here, avoid the tomato based pizzas and opt for a white pie or no sauce. You'll get a pretty good pie for the price. A little pricy but prepared well read more

Food was good, love their pizza. As a bartended/waitress, the service could have been better. Bartender was not as attentive especially when you first walked in and was on her phone a lot either talking to someone or texting. The bar was not clean and full of crumbs . The bartender was only chatting with a guy that was at the bar . read more

The Square Peg was such a random little pizza spot in Vernon. Friday afternoon was not overly crowded so we were sat immediately. Parking was a bit of a hassle cause the spots were almost all taken. There are fried spaghetti sticks as the complimentary snack for the table, very odd but it was good! This is the large carnivore pizza. It was really good. Pizza did not take long to come out and our waitress was very attentive. She was very chatty and let us know about the place and she was just a nice person to have a convo with! The pizza was not as greasy as I thought considering the meat toppings were there. It was filling and pretty large (we did get the large lol). A bit pricey but the atmosphere and quality of food and service was worth the price here. I would love to go back! read more

I have heard so much about square peg since they have come to Vernon almost a year ago! The perfect opportunity arose where I could get two cheese pizzas (small) for a very good price. I ate one fresh and the other I put in the refridgerator! I think having it fresh made the dough super thin and easily pulled apart (to the point that slices weren't slices but more so pulled out pieces of the pie). I actually preferred the refridgerated version because the slices didn't pull apart as easily! This to me tastes similar to a New Haven pizza and I absolutely LOVED the crust. Overall probably the best thin crust pie I have eaten outside of New Haven and pretty affordable at that. I will be back! read more

Square Peg Pizzeria Vernon - After the cheese pizza has been cooled in the fridge - Pizza Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

I was looking for a good brunch restaurant and Square Peg came up in my search - what a find. Lovely staff, convenient parking, great food, cocktails, and of course PIZZA. We had the greatest waitress! She was very sweet, kind, created conversations, and made me feel like a regular customer. She gave us recommendations and was very attentive. We ordered the Figgy Piggy (Fresh prosciutto, fig compote, fontina cheese, garlic, parmesan cheese & lemon vinaigrette arugula)! Oh Honey Pizza (Fresh prosciutto, honey, fontina cheese, figs, gorgonzola & parmesan cheese). Fried Dough (Delicious fried dough balls tossed in cinnamon sugar and dusted with powdered sugar; served with a side of Nutella.) The atmosphere is relaxing and the place is very clean. I will definitely go back to try all of their other pizzas!!! read more

Square Peg Pizzeria Vernon - a person holding a glass of pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

Last night was the second time we've ever eaten from this chain and the first time we ever ordered it for ourselves from this location. We got a Large Carnivore Pizza, small figgy piggy, a large cheese pizza and 12 wings. We were disheartened because the carnivore pizza barely had any other meat other than pepperoni and also included one mushroom and one piece of onion. I ordered ranch for our wings and pizza and received none in the bag. We were disappointed because the food from here isn't cheap but it definitely did not live up to the price point and expectation. We got 2 different wing flavors (Carolina gold mustard and Peg signature) and they were in the same container and the sauce and dry rub mixed together in the box. The Figgy Piggy and cheese pizza were fine. When you click "full menu" on the website it only shows the happy hour menu and when you click "happy hour menu" it still only shows the happy hour menu. Our pizzas were also burnt (more than what it should be even for wood fire pizza) I was pretty disappointed to say the least. read more

Dec 2025 - New manager there (female) was so rude to the guy who does trivia. (and he was always super nice from my experience) There was a table of customers completely disrespecting the DJ and the manager must have been friends with those obnoxious people. She confronted the DJ in front of the customers and he did absolutely nothing wrong. so sad. I believe he was fired. I will never go to this place again. Also, the restaurant is very overpriced. The burgers are bogo on Mondays but the patty is about the size of a McDonalds hamburger, but definitely not the price. (not kidding). There are better places out there for food and definitely better places managerial wise. PS - The wait staff was always very respectful and attentive and provided good service. read more

This branch has a different general manager with no previous experience in the restaurant industry...this location is now out of basics so it it a hit or miss if they have ingredients in stock. I frequent this restaurant and the quality of service has plummeted most likely due to the fact they no longer have a competant manager...I think if enough customers are not satisfied it is time to oust the current manager...bad service read more

Had the carnivore pizza and tasted the chicken cacciatore with bacon. The crust is key the brick oven did its job will definitely go back

We really enjoyed this place! They were super busy, but that's what to be expected when a business opens! Definitely not something they should be judged by since they have only been open for a week. We got take out for their sausage pizza and their chicken cacciatore pizza and both were excellent. We are so happy to have a place like this in Vernon! And hope people don't judge a place for service based off of the opening week! read more

Square Peg Pizzeria Vernon - Bianco pizza! It was delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

New Square Peg pizzeria in Vernon that took over the Little Marks BBQ location. Inside is very nicely redone including a generous sized bar, wide assortment of beer taps, with an even larger selection of cans beers. We ordered off the cocktail menu. White Sangria was very solid, Square Spritz is a standard Aperol Spritz with a nice addition of grapefruit, the Burbs was the best- sweet and delicious. We went to try out the very creative pizza menu. Let me say you can't go wrong. You will have a hard time deciding what to go with. My regret is I couldn't get them all and will definitely be back to try the others. We went with the chicken bacon cacciatore and the figgy piggy. Generous amounts of filings, cooked perfectly. We arrived hungry so the cheesy garlic bread held us over until our food came. Service was as attentive as you could have hoped for. A nice addition to the Vernon area. read more

We tried out the new location of Square Peg and Vernon is in luck! It's a small space, but there's a lot of energy and a very fun atmosphere. When you sit, they serve you fried spaghetti sticks to munch on-- so yummy! We tried out the Detroit style pizza which was sooo good. Definitely not a light slice, but delicious. The drinks and draft list are very good too - shout out to be best bartender Courtney!! We'll be back! read more

Wood-fired pizza restaurant, indoor or outdoor seating, full bar with great service. My sister and I decided to try their Detroit style pizza and OH WOW! Best pizza I've had in a long time! The restaurant is a little too loud for my liking, but it wasn't horrible. I did find their chairs to be uncomfortable. The tables and the bar use those trendy metal chairs that are everywhere these days. This was not enough for me to change my thoughts on the place! I will visit again for sure! read more

It was my first time ordering from here. I ordered a large Prince Paramus and a large pepperoni to go. I arrived and was quite surprised that it was not very busy on a Friday night. I arrived home and both pizzas were extremely burnt. I called and was explained that it's a wood fire pizza and I should expect some darker spots. I explained that I've eaten at Wooster Street Pizza and also Pepe's Pizza before so I know the difference between wood fired pizza and burnt pizza. The manager was kind enough to refund me my money. I won't go back there but I do appreciate how the manager handled the situation. read more

This is the best thin crust pizza I've had in literally 7 years. The crust was very thin, the ring crust was not too thick. Can't wait to travel through the pizza lists, red, white, and Detriot styles abound. There must be at least 30 different gormet pizzas. The wood fire brick oven and kitchen being in full view is a nice touch. Fried spaghetti appetizer was a surprise delight. The wings were perfectly crispy, and delicious. I tried 4 different rubs or sauces and they were all quite good. I was happily surprised with my first experience of pork meatballs ever. The rest of the menu looks good, with pasta dishes and good salads. Vegetarians will have many good choices. I cannot guarentee so for Vegans, too much delicious dairy and meats, but I am sure they would happily accommodate. The staff was excellent, especially since it was their first day open, and surprisingly busy, but the food was all coming at a good pace. The outdoor seating looks beautiful with the fireplace and several table. This place will be beautiful come spring. The interior is cozy and friendly. They corporate motto seems to be "Be nice " and all the families, couples and lone diners all looked comfortable. I will definitely be going back read more

If I could give this place a negative 10 I surely would. The waitresses and employees are inattentive to people picking up. The girls kept walking by me, turning their face the other way. UNPROFESSIONAL!!!While they have 3 girls on their cell phones in the back with a little girl running around (she was a cutie) On MULTIPLE occasions I have done pick ups and I'm never acknowledged in less than 10 minutes. Today on my last pick up, I set a timer and wasn't acknowledged until 11 min later. Ridiculous!!!! I do door dash and I'm on a time schedule for every delivery. read more

The food was subpar at best. The mozzarella sticks had no cheese, boiled out in the fryer...the pizza was greasy and cold even though we live less than 10 minutes away. The piece of cheesecake is a joke for $7. Very unhappy. To top it off we tipped the driver twice although none of the above was his fault. Note pictures. read more

Loved the new Vernon location of Square Peg! I've been to the Glastonbury location a few times and loved it, so I was excited to check out their new spot.

The service was a tad slow, but that is to be expected with a new spot. read more

We stopped in soon after they first opened as we had their pizza from their truck. Hubby is a big pizza fan and we both enjoyed their food. It was nice to explore the full menu at their newest location. While perusing the menu we noticed a jar of something edible so we asked our waitress about it. Have you ever tried fried spaghetti noodles?! I know - it sounds weird, right? Let me tell you, it was oddly delicious! Salted to perfection. It is not as filling as breadsticks either. Give it a try for something a little different. Hubs got one of their draft beers and he really enjoyed it. We had to try the chicken wings because that's what we do... eat chicken wings! The wings were crispy and coated just right with the sauce. Not messy at all and every bit as scrumptious as we'd hoped. I ordered a chicken cutlet grinder with a side salad. The salad was fresh and they provided 2 house-made dressings for me to try. I finished it off with no problem. I love love love chicken cutlet grinders and Square Peg made one of the best I have ever eaten. It was stacked with plenty of chicken and veggies. I barely finished half of it. The other half heated up well the next day, too! You certainly won't go hungry with the way the grinders are loaded up! Hubs loves a good pizza and has been anticipating the opening of Square Peg Pizza in Vernon. He enjoyed his pie immensely and had leftovers as well. He likes a thin crust and Square Peg somehow managed to give us a super thin crust that was soft & chewy. It just enhanced the pizza-eating experience as he got more from it due to the texture of the crust. The toppings were plentiful. Overall, the food is good and of good quality. Service is very good as well. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. The patio area is nice. Plenty of room to walk between tables and the fire pit added to the ambience. It was much quieter than inside the restaurant. The music was extremely loud inside (think nightclub loud) and made it difficult to communicate with the hostess when we arrived. It was disappointing as we were looking forward to experiencing all that is inside. Hopefully the music volume gets lowered so we can stop in when the weather isn't great for the patio or we want to bring family members of all ages with us. We'll be sure to give them a try again soon to (hopefully) experience the dining area. read more

Had their pizza to go recently at 5:30 on a Friday. Ordered online and the pizza was ready for me when I got there. I was worried it wouldn't be considering there was no parking in their parking lot.

So good food. Love the vibe. Trivia is the best here. And great workers!! Will always return to square peg

Just ordered a pizza and picked-up the pizza at their drive-thru window. Overall, the pizza was below average and here is why: 1) It was stone-cold (even though I arrived exactly at the time it would be ready). 2) Toppings were extremely sparse. This was a margherita pizza and you could barely find a tomato chunk or a piece of basil. 3) The crust was floppy and undercooked. 4) The pizza lacked flavor. Quite a disappointment considering all the hype. No, I won't be returning again. You're better off going to Paul's or New England Pizza. read more
