Yorkside Pizza & Restaurant is a Greek-style pizzeria that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in…read moreJanuary 1977. It was founded by the Koutroumanis family, which includes brothers George, Tony and Greg. The family immigrated to the United States from Greece in 1958. Almost immediately after getting settled, the various members of the family began working in the restaurant business in some sort of capacity. By the late 1960s, the Koutroumanis family had opened West Haven Pizza Palace in West Haven and Broadway Pizza in New Haven. Following the success of the family's pizzerias, they opened Yorkside Pizza & Restaurant on York Street, just around the corner from Broadway Pizza. Yorkside's signature Greek-style pan pizzas quickly became popular with Yale University students as well as patrons from the neighboring performance venue Toad's Place. A number of celebrities have also visited the pizzeria over the years, including late night TV host Stephen Colbert in 2023. Aside from the signature pizzas, the menu also includes seafood dishes, pasta dishes, steakhouse entrees, classic Greek & Italian staples, sandwiches, salads, soups, and various appetizers. While the Koutroumanis' other pizzerias eventually closed, Yorkside is still going strong. Today the establishment is run by George, his wife Nota, and their family. I recently stopped at Yorkside Pizza for dinner prior to attending a show at Toad's Place. Although I have lived in the area my whole life, and I've walked by Yorkside more times than I can count, this was actually my first visit. While I am partial to New Haven-style apizza, Greek-style pizza has been growing on me recently. My server seated me at a booth and I begin to scroll through the extensive menu. I ended up ordering two smalls: a "Four Cheese Pizza" (mozzarella, feta, ricotta & provolone cheese) and a "Mediterranean" (mozzarella, crab, clams, anchovies & tuna). Yorkside's pizzas are made from scratch everyday, and you can tell. These pies had so much flavor and the crust was light, crispy and flaky. I washed everything down with a can of New England Brewing's "Sea Hag" IPA. I ended up taking half of the pies home for my family to sample. If you're planning on attending a show at Toad's Place, I highly recommend stopping at Yorkside either before or after the show!

One of the best Greek pizzas I've had!…read more Conveniently located in between the Legendary Toad's Place and Yale bookstore

Unique experience! This restaurant is past the Yale Bowl in a resident area of New Haven we have…read morenever been to. Lots of seating available inside and there's a DJ and belly dancing on some evenings. The food was incredibly flavored and great portions. The pizza was surprisingly packed with chicken and pine nuts. A very interesting and delicious combo we never knew we wanted. Drinks were also a different experience with saffron mixed in. Can't wait to return and this time to catch the after hour scene! Looks like a good time and great for large groups.

A couple of weeks back, I returned to Rawa for the first time in a couple of years. I don't live in…read morethe area, but I've been a few times before and I love the food and the chill, cool atmosphere. While the food was as good as I remember it, my experience wasn't great. I arrived shortly after opening on a Sunday and I was the only customer. The lunch was off to a good start. My server was friendly and helpful, and then another employee arrived who seemed like she might have been a manager of some type. She became involved with working with a different person to check the sound system. Over the course of about 10 minutes, they frequently changed the volume and what was playing on the stereo. At times, it was unbearably loud. At first, I didn't say anything, because I assumed it was just going to be a minute or so. But it didn't stop, and after 10 minutes, I finally spoke up and said that their testing the stereo was affecting my enjoyment of my lunch. They stopped testing the stereo after I said something. I had been looking forward to my meal there for a couple of days, and I did not enjoy my experience. A nice restaurant like Rawa should not put a customer in the position of having to advocate for a reasonable atmosphere. I just saw Instagram content that leads me to believe that Rawa is going in a new creative direction. The event manager spoke of upcoming events like a yoga experience and a couple of other things. I'm sure there will be people who may enjoy this new direction, but that's not what I've enjoyed about Rawa in my prior visits. In any event, if you go to Rawa, you should be aware that it may not be how you remember. I'm downgrading my rating to 3 Stars in light of my experience.
