I live about a block away so I finally decided to visit Tolli's after a long work day! I called ahead a pizza order on a Thursday evening, and they let me know it would take 20 min, which was perfect for my commute. I parked in the parking lot where there was a lot of spaces and also ample street parking. They have a really cute patio with lights on for the warmer months, and the inside looked really nice. I follows signs for the pick up area, where there was one person waiting. A worker immediate came up. I gave him my name, he grabbed my pizza, I paid, and I was on my way! The medium pizza was significantly bigger than I expected. I got the dad's pizza since it had both clams and pesto, my two favorite toppings, and I haven't seen anything on a clam pizza in other shops. It was warm and the dough was well cooked. The pizza itself was very good. Generous amounts of clam, the pesto had a good flavor, and overall well salted which I can find lacking in other places. I will definitely be coming back whenever I need pizza. read more

I've ordered a couple of times take out. Pizza and wings are so good ! They are very professional

Due to the aging process, I don't drive much; however, when I go to East Haven, I will only dine at TOLLI' s! Fine food, cocktails, service, pizza, takeout, prices and many types of TARTUFO! Doesn't get any better, so try it. (In the Spring, I hope to)! TootsieT. read more

We had an outstanding escarole and bean pizza here. No one does it like them. It was nice and hot, staff was friendly, pizza was delicious. May son ended up getting an onion pizza which he said was really good too. We will be back! read more

Four of us came here for dinner last evening & it was a great experience. Only one of us had pizza & three of us ordered dinners. I had Gnocchi with a delicious bolognaise sauce that was so good. Tolli's is now a full-fledged Italian restaurant with a huge menu of both Italian & non-Italian dishes. This place has both great pizza & Italian food. read more

Came here with some coworkers a few months back for happy hour after a long day at the office. Its definitely a local favorite as the bar area got busy really fast. Their happy hour menu is really appealing but I was doing a challenge when I came so didn't try much of the food. I did try the chicken wings and they were very tasty. Will definitely come back to experience the menu as the HH menu prices were very reasonable. My coworker had wine and Prosecco for their drinks and I got a seltzer water with 3 limes. Is definitely a mature older crowd for happy hour which I actually enjoyed as we were able to have our conversation without being bothered. The ambiance and vibe are definitely local-everyone know each other kinda vibes. read more

Excellent service,food is always delicious, friendly owners. They offer a great happy hour nightly. Would highly recommend

Had a chicken parm sub and the cutlet was raw. Pink, rubbery. Counters looked really unsanitary. Owners didn't really seem to care.

I had a repast after my mothers funeral, all I can say is, it was exceptional from the food down to the service everyone was so nice, everyone loved the food, I was very emotional, and when I got there and seen the room all set up, calmed me down, and when everybody started coming in And enjoying themselves talking having coffee, the food everything went very smooth, and everyone had a nice time being together at the restaurant ,, Andrew Morro read more

Absolutely wonderful pizza when light bake. Patient waiters, and the interior is pleasant. Made for a good dine in experience with the boys. Our pizza choices... (Barbecue Chicken, Chicken Florentine, Mozz + Bacon) read more

What could be more classic than a great pizza and some Foxon Park White Birch? We've been coming to Tolli's for years, and we have no intention of stopping. I always say that one of these times, I'm going to try something besides pizza. But that never happens because I always want the pizza. read more

Got pizzas there again last night ,Saturday nights are not good times to order pizzas in the havens , they're all very busy and rush the orders. tonight's pizzas were greasy oily and the topping sliced very thin the crust was stuck to the wax paper placed under the pizzas tonight gonna pass here for awhile and try the other pizza shops around read more

The ambiance was beautiful and the staff was friendly but honestly I was really bummed by this restaurant. The chicken Parm was ok, but looked and tasted like it had been reheated in an oven when I ordered it. The pasta was soggy and the chicken tough. The sauce was flavorful though. The meatballs lacked texture and flavor but soaking them in the sauce helped. I'm wondering if my experience would be different at dinner time. read more

Can't believe this came out of Tollis kitchen. This was the worst pizza I've had in years! Was a small with fresh mozzarella, ricotta, meatball and basil. From the invisible basil to the tasteless meatballs, this pizza was horrible. The crust was cracker like in places and mushy in others. The sauce had no spice and no flavor, seemed watered down. There was just a few dabs of supposed fresh mozzarella and some bland ricotta. Haven't been to Tollis in years and now never plan to return. read more

Stopped in for something to eat and drink. Place was very nice and the food smelled delicious. It was cold out so I decided to try their chicken soup. So glad I did. What flavor!! Chicken, veggies and a surprise of cabbage in it. Our server was Dave because we sat in the bar area. Very nice and pleasant. Made our dining experience even better. Had the broccoli rabe and sausage grinder which was fantastic. Was so busy enjoying it I forgot to take a picture. This is definitely a place to stop into. read more

I grew up in East Haven but haven't lived there since college. I also moved out of state about 9 years ago - and I hadn't had pizza from Tollis probably in a good 15 years or so. I remember always loving it, especially when they came out with their delicious Breakfast Pizza! While in town visiting family, we decided to try Tollis for the first time in so long for some takeout pizza. And wow, it's as good as I remember, even having it as takeout instead of super fresh right in the restaurant. The crust was good and thin but chewy and not overly burnt like some places do. We really enjoyed our pizzas and now Tollis may become another go-to spot for my dad and stepmom who live locally, and for me when I come to visit and need my CT pizza fix! read more

Neighborhood place. Husband was very happy with the Pollo ala Cafone. Chicken Milanese was looking not too appetizing, but was very flavorful. read more

Tolli's Apizza - Crumbled bacon and pineapple. Don't judge! The salty and sweet is perfect together. lol - Pizza Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

When I first walked in the place smelled terrible. However I still processed in to establishment. When I entered, two young men sat in the dark glances at me before asking me what did I want. I informed them I wanted a table and they instructed me to go around the corner is sit wherever. As I sat down a young waitress, passed me and didn't really acknowledge me at all. However, when two others walked in, they were welcomed and got drinks right away. I walked out of the restaurant no intentions of ever coming back. This was a negative experience and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone read more

The service was good. They had free refills on Foxon Park soda, and the pizzas came out extra crispy just like we asked! Out of all four of the pizzas that we tried, overall enjoyed the Mario's pizza. read more

Pizzas were good enough. Nothing to write home about. Soda was really the highlight of the meal. If you want a good New Haven pizza, get out of East Haven and go to the originals and don't be lazy like us. read more

Could've been better If you have bigger people in your party..... not the place to go.... I realize this may seem like a non-issue for some, however, there are 4 of us that go to New Haven every Wednesday night and try different places and then to the owl shop for after dinner cigars. We are bigger than average men, 230+ for 3 of us and an average other. The boiths are too small, but there is a boith thats a little bigger, but apparently you HAVE to have 5 people to sit there. I understand if the place was packed....... there was 1 guy in a booth. Every other table was empty. As for the pie, ehhh lets just say we will be going to the usual suspects after this experience. Sooooo waited to eat full dinner and have to honestly say as a pizza lover..... 1 of the worst pizzas ever eaten..... 1 large sausage and 1 large pepperoni and garlic..... no flavor..... never experienced that before, even bad pizza I've eaten had flavor.... be your own judge read more

Best pizza in town! Love the escarole and bean pizza! Never a bad pie, always consistent!

Had a hankering for pizza recently so ordered a pie for delivery. I got chicken cutlet and hot cherry peppers. Sauce was decent and a good distribution of toppings too (hate when they skimp on the cutlet). What I really loved about Tolli's was the crust! Chewy and slightly charred it was great and in line with what everyone loves about new haven pizza. Will definitely order again when I need my next pizza fix that is local. read more

My bf and I decided to try Tolli's since we've been looking for a place to get good pizza. Unfortunately, this was not the place. When we walked in, we immediately felt claustrophobic with how small and cramped the dining room space was. However, the staff was very friendly and attentive. We ordered a large mozzarella pizza with sausage and bacon. The pizza arrived and the bacon was raw and the pizza could have benefited from another minute or two in the oven. On top of the disappointment of the pizza, we were quite surprised at the price per topping. It ended up being close to a $25 pizza which certainly wasn't worth it. We won't be quick to return. read more

6/21. Had tomato pie and rigatoni bolognese. Great food. Good service. Fun atmosphere. Will be back.

It saddens me to have to write this review. I have been a loyal customer to Tolli's for years now. Sadly I have seen a huge change in both the quality of food and the delivery. We order take out from Tolli's frequently using Slice and Uber in addition to calling them directly. There has not been a time that there hasn't been some mix up with our order. Either it's the wrong pizza, or they forget the soda or the soup and the salad. Their communication regarding their takeout orders is atrocious! Tonight our pizza arrived on time but half the order was missing. By the time we got the remainder it was almost 9 pm and the pizza we received 40 minutes earlier was cold. I will state that the owners always offer to either replace the order or make it right in some way. Tonight I called the owner to say how tonight's mix up was the last straw. Tolli's delivery person is rude. I guess he doesn't know what a doorbell is because he pounds on our door like a gorilla and never wears a mask. I will look elsewhere for pizza where they don't mix up orders. Very sad indeed. read more

This was my first visit and won't be my last. The waitress was excellent. She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about their menu selections. I ordered the chicken piccata. It was so delicious. The chicken was fresh and the sauce was spot on. I would give it a 5 star for excellence. read more

Customer service was always good. My only issue was when I asked for hot peppers seasoning for the two slices I just ordered was extra. Otherwise, my experience there was decent. read more

Driving to Tweed, can't figure out where to eat between 4 people on a Sunday afternoon. We drove by Tollis and stop for lunch. So happy we did!! Amazing service and food!! Will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

this is the first time we've ordered food from Tolli's Appiza. we placed our order at around 5:46 or around that time, but we didn't get our order until 8:20 pm. I kept reaching out to the app where I ordered it from, Slice, and called the restaurant as well. I kept getting the same excuse. AND finally, the food gets here, and lo and behold, the food was AMAZING! I'm giving them 4 stars for them being very late. it would've been 5 stars for their great food! read more

I was searching for a restaurant that had outdoor dining and good food. I'm a little torn given this restaurant a two or a three because outdoors was nice and the waitress was very friendly. Now let's get to the food, the pizza was less than average and you would at least expect to get one or two pepperoni slices on one slice of pizza but that was not the case. We had some fun but I would not recommend this place for pizza nor mozzarella sticks. Those seem to be out of a box and it just did not measure up to a quality for a restaurant. One more thing that really shocked me because I eat out all the time in an average pizza will cost you around $20-$23 which is fine for a gourmet pizza. However, when you get your bill it seems like they charged you $27 just for the bread then they charge you for the cheese, next the sausage and the pepperoni. Are you going to charge me for a pizza charge me for pizza and at least have a cheese pizza in place. I was happy that they seem to be following guidelines for social distancing. If you want to get out and just enjoy the outdoors then that's fine but I was looking for good pizza too. read more

Great pizza! We order pick up twice a month. The food is made with care. Thirty years the same quality.

absolutely awful Customer Service . I made a mistake not knowing that I have to ask for cheese on my pizza while online ordering a regular pizza. I also ordered garlic bread with cheese, didn't get any cheese on my garlic bread. The woman at the front was very dismissive and told me I have to deal with slice who handles their online orders I called slice and verified with them who stated she would call and speak with the restaurant to see if we can bring the pizza back to have cheese added to it or return it for a new one. tollis pretty much said too bad so sad and wouldn't do anything about it. All I wanted was some freaking cheese on my pizza! never ever ordering from here again. read more
