    Side of fries-yes, I already ate half!
    Nancy B.

    I have been getting pizza from here for the past 4 years. It's absolutely the best (Greek) pizza I've ever had! Yes, who doesn't love New Haven style pizza? This place is the whole package. I always order a small cheese pie and when I pick it up, I ask if they put extra anchovies on it?!?! It's been a running joke ever since I started getting my pizza from them! The crust is thick, crunchy and buttery tasting! The cheese is like it was torched slightly, love the crispness of it without it tasting burnt. The sauce is sweet and light, very tasty! I guess the other great thing about West Side Pizza is the owners and staff. They are gems. Always friendly and polite, kid around like you're family. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I'm terrible for taking so long to review. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up and a satisfied tummy!! Oh and to break tradition, I order a side of fries. Amazing! Lightly salted which makes me very happy! Well done West Side!

    French Fries
    Ian L.

    One of the last places I visited before all the restaurants shut down for dine-in. Comfortable food in a comfortable environment. Our server loved to talk and I loved it. Very sanitary with that hand sanitzed as well. Haha. Had a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza with some french fries. The fries were fries, just as I would expect and the pizza was cheesey and greasy in a good way. I did not feel skimped out on meat or anything really. The food took a little longer than usual but I'll let it slide because it was still really good. Nothing too crazy really it was just a basic and comfortable pizza. Comfort is a great thing, no matter how long you wait or the price you pay, you know what you're getting and that's really all I could say about this place. So yes, it's that decent pizza restaurant in the neighborhood, one of those and I love these type of restaurants. It's like the definition of a small local business. Nothing special but it doesn't need to be special. Good food overall.

    West side is the best pizza in the area!! The perfect amount of cheese, grease, and the perfect crust thickness. It never disappoints! We order takeout here frequently

    Medium Hawaiian pizza was great
    Louise V.

    Mixed review for my first visit here. I recently ordered a medium Hawaiian pizza and a small cheese pizza. The Hawaiian was great! But the small cheese pizza was completely burnt. That was disappointing. For $36+ for the total, I was not happy to get home and find burnt pizza.

    Roast Beef Sub!
    Rick S.

    These guys are doing it right. When you order a large sub, you are ordering a LARGE sub! I ordered a roast beef and it gave me leftovers for the whole weekend. And boy was it fresh and delicious

    Medium Cheese (Greek Style Pizza)

    Good Greek Style Pizza. Sauce is delicious. Crust and cheese are exactly what one expects from Greek style pizza. Crust was not burnt, under or on sides. This is a regular cook. If you want your cheese less crispy then you'll have to say bake it a little less than usual.

    Very good pizza at a fair price. They really load up the toppings, which were exceedingly fresh.

I was in Connecticut for a wedding a few weeks ago and ended up in old Wethersfield around dinner time, so obviously we had to return to my wife's old pizza place to order up a pizza. The place was absolutely packed when we arrived so we decided to just order a large pizza to go, half pepperoni and half sausage and meatball. The pizza took maybe twenty minutes or so to make and when it was done, well, it looked absolutely spectacular. My half of the pizza was the sausage and meatball and it was like a whirlwind of nostalgia punching me in the mouth with each and every bite. The crust was perfect, the sauce was perfect, the toppings were perfect, and the overall pizza was everything I've been craving for over a year since my last visit to the nutmeg state. Overall, Village Pizzeria & Family Restaurant is everything you expect from a central Connecticut pizza joint. The restaurant looks cozy and nice inside, the staff was super busy but still friendly, and the food was top notch. This place is definitely an old Wethersfield gem.

Not…read moreclams, not cheese, not crust--just the allium family's most fart-prone, overhyped stepchild. I may or may not be contemplating a couple of Tums. I'm conflicted on this 2/5 rating since I wish there was a 2.5/5 option here. There are some promising things about Frank Pepe's: a coal-fired oven, photos of the same white clam pizza I ordered that look more like pizzas I had in Italy than the one I got, and other options for toppings that might work out better. Perhaps asking for light garlic and maybe the addition of the calabrian chilies from the seasonal special pizza (or pickled jalapeños, if available) would've fixed the balance (and topping palatability) of this pizza. A different pizza also may be substantially tastier, but goshdarnit, we're close enough to the ocean that I'd like to think the white clam is a slam-dunk. It's even listed in neon in the window! As ordered, unchanged, off the menu, though, I feel like I need to leave this state for a pizza just to feel something. Connecticut calling itself "the pizza state" has thus far been a lie; a cruel joke wherein a few outstanding outliers try to gloss over the fact that most of the state's pizza is mid-to-bad. "Mystic Pizza" being one of the state's most famous audiovisual exports sort of fits given that the availability of standout pizza here appears to be a mystical unicorn I've yet to find after moving here last year. Pepe's gets serious props for using large chunks of clams that don't look like the typical, uniformly cut, restaurant-supply-can chunks, but they were a bit rubbery and almost completely drowned out by the amount of garlic. It's like they were cooked too long, and the moisture from the clams evaporated accordingly. The crust had a little crunch to it as well, but lacked the crispy bubbles and heavier charred spots I expect from this style of pizza and from the assorted menu photos. Either go foldable or go harder on the fire--anywhere in between lands in disappointment territory. Commit to a bit. $8 a pint is a bit much for basic beer selections like Sam Adams and Peroni, too, but that's sort of my least concern. We live in Hell where everything is expensive lately, and at least beer prices haven't shot up as badly as gas prices. I probably should've ordered the sangria in hindsight. White peach? Here for it. Also, the staff was friendly, and service was prompt. I really should give it a second chance with a more traditional tomato-sauce pizza, or maybe a margherita. If you go, expect it to fall short of the hype unless whoever made the nicely bubbly white clam pie in the photos posted here is manning the oven. Unless you like garlic as much as I like cheese, consider asking to go light on the garlic for a better-balanced pizza if you order this one.
