Grew up going here was the best thing around. Everything was phenomenal. They were strong for 30+ years. But recently just had their pizza and I know that it is different owners, but the pizza was not good. The sauce on the pizza had absolutely no flavor and I can't stand when they put the cheese over all the toppings so everything's not blended together. All good things must come to an end I guess. read more

Wilson Pizza Palace - Large special - Pizza Near Me - Windsor, Connecticut

I grew up eating this pizza back in 1980's before it transitioned to it's current location. It still remains to be the best pizza in 2025.

First of all, I'd like to say that I love Wilson Pizza I've been going to get pizza from them for years. Their salads are great very fresh crispy delicious chicken breast. However, my experience today was horrible interaction with the young man with the dreads that was at the front desk. I asked for oil and vinegar and there were different variations and by that I mean, there was white vinegar and oil and then there was red wine vinegar and oil. He grabbed the white vinegar and oil. I said oh please could you give me the other one he's like they're all the same. I said I'd like the red one. He says they're all the same. I said no they're not because one is red wine vinegar and one is white vinegar. He's like yeah but they're all oil and vinegar. I said they're different kinds. they taste different. He proceeded to pretty much throw things in my bag like my utensils and my napkins and then he's muttering under his breath something to the effect of he doesn't see what the hell the difference is and I tried to tell him that I'm Italian he's like oh great, great great I'm happy for you. He was extremely extremely rude and that is NOT how Wilson Pizza operates I know this from being a faithful patron for years read more

I've been traveling New England for quite a while! The pizza at Wilson's was always good! A medium pizza that my wife and I purchased there didn't make it home! Lol! read more

My pizza was horrible....hot wings horrible!!! Would I recommend?! No l,not even to my dying enemy. There was a time Wilsons was it. I guess everything changes. One large special, 12 wings and an order of mozzarella sticks=$53 Worse meal I've ever had! Would I go back? No. Unfortunately this is my experience, and i hope no one else has to endure this experience. read more

If you're ever in my home town. Get a large Wilson special from here. You won't regret it. Crust with just the right amount of crispness. Tons of cheese. And good meat and flavor! read more

Wilson Pizza Palace - Appetites couldn't wait for the picture. About half of a Wilson's Special! Medium size. Fresh baked. The crust is so nice and crispy!! - Pizza Near Me - Windsor, Connecticut

Ordered a pizza to go here, after reading the ratings. It was not far from our hotel. Got the Wilson Special. (Hamberg, Sausage, Pepperoni, Onion, Pepper Mushroom). Awesome pizza!!!!! Only complaint was cash only. read more

Met a friend half way between Berlin and enfield. This place is CASH ONLY. they have an ATM if you need. Their business is 90%+ takeout. This place holds many remnants of its former life as the Golden Arches. But make no mistake the food was amazing. They had a couple of tables where there were no pizza boxes which they are prepped certainly prepped for. We order garlic bread mozz sticks medium Hawaiian pizza medium sausage pizza and meatball bacon calzone. I cannot say I didn't like anything about any of it. The blonde girl who was end of her shift kept coming out to check on us. Told us the large calzone was something new and yep critique it which I will .............. nothing short of delicious. I would gladly go back here again even recommended to someone who works nearby. read more

Best pizza. Hands down. The food is consistently delicious. They now accept ATM cards.

Been going here for years but the taste has changed from when I was younger. Don't know if the management changed but the pizza just isn't as good as I remember however it was stil one of the best in Hartford CT. read more

I know a lot of people say Wilson Pizza has changed over the years but to me, it still tastes the same. While I believe that New Haven is the capital pizza of the world, Wilson comes really close to being at the level of Pizza House (located on Howe St, New Haven). Whenever I am in the 860 and craving pizza, which is rare, this is my go to and always will be. They don't take card which I guess I can understand but it is 2021 so hopefully that will change soon. read more

I'm still working extended hours at work because of Sandy, so I jump at the chance to get out of the building at lunch time. Today, I wandered down Route 159 and made my first ever visit to the Wilson Pizza Palace. I walked in around 12:30, and there were two customers ahead of me at the service counter (both doing take-out orders). I ordered, sat down in the huge and 100% empty dining room, and ate in solitude for the duration of my stay. No one else came in, except one sketchy type that came in to use the rest room. The menu is fairly big with pizza appearing in a starring role. Three sizes with 12 available toppings and the usual specials (Hawaiian, Vegetable, etc). Smalls range from $7.40 to $10 and the larges will run you $14-$20. They also offer sheet pizzas - $24 for a basic cheese up to $37 for the loaded "special". Also on the menu are 23 Grinders (half or whole), calzones, gyros, pasta, salads, seafoods, burgers and sides. Quite a nice menu, actually. I opted for a Chef Salad, and at $7.25 it was quite a nice deal - a huge plate of greens, salami, pepperoni, ham and cheese. Pretty solid, but standard with no "wow" factor. The cavernous dining room certainly reminds you of the building's former life as a McDonalds. All in all, a pleasant lunch with a big portion at a reasonable price. We'll take that any day, right? read more

I moved from Windsor ct 15 yrs ago to Virginia. I have tried numerous pizza shops in and around town. NOTHING even comes close 2 Wilson Pizza. Its the best pizza, freshest ingredients and best crunchy crust I have ever had. Thats in any state. I go straight there whenever I go home. Their chicken wings are excellent too. read more

Worse customer service ever they answered the phone with 1.5hr prior to closing time stating they are done taking orders for the night EXCUSE ME!! Why answer the phone then. This location has lost the soul of serving the community and empty belly's sad to see such family business lose they're essentials. read more

I live on the other side of the river. I have three excellent pizza restaurants very close by, but I always seem to go back to Wilson. As I am one to always post food pics on social media, My friends all tell me the food here looks so delicious, and believe me. It is!! so excuse me while I get my shoes on, and go get me some awesome lunch. read more

Wilson Pizza Palace - Pizza Near Me - Windsor, Connecticut

I got the sausage and broccoli calzone which was really delicious! The breading was more like a stuffed bread. It had big chunks of sausage and perfectly cooked broccoli. The cheese pizza was pretty average. Be aware that they only take cash. Luckily, they have an ATM right near the register. read more

Wilson used to be the best place to get pizza. I moved from Hartford years ago but every time I visit I have to get a pie from this establishment. I was so excited when I ordered my pizza. Finally, my mouth was watering the pizza smelled good. I knew I was going to enjoy this but when I opened the box I was really disappointed, my pizza was overcooked so bad until it was burnt. I went to George's pizza place and it was so good!!! No more Wilson's for me. read more

I've gone to Wilson Pizza too many times to count over the years and am amazed I've never left a review. Their grinders are large (a half will more than fill you up) and all of their pizzas are a perfect mix of crunchy and chewy (and they never skimp on toppings. The food is awesome here, and the plethora of customers in the shop at any given time is a testament to that. My personal favorites are the roast beef and tuna salad grinders; my mouth is watering just thinking about them! If you're looking for efficient and friendly service and some really tasty food, Wilson Pizza is it. read more

My wife and I stopped here for lunch on a Wednesday while driving on the interstate. We shared a small cheese pizza which was tasty (thick chewy dough). We wanted to sit at the corner table but it was dirty and sticky, so we chose a different place to sit. This pizzeria does not serve individual slices of pizza, and the restaurant does not accept credit cards (but they encourage you to use their ATM). Individual sodas can only be purchased from the soda machine. As travelers we needed to use the restrooms and they were poorly maintained. The bathrooms are terrible here. We won't be returning. read more

Stopped by for eggplant grinder and small Wilson's Pizza. Service was friendly enough. However, the grinder was not toasted, eggplant had too much breading but was plentiful. Rather disappointing considering Wilson's reputation. The pizza was okay. New management always needs time to settle in. I hope they get settle soon. read more

Ordered white pizza with broccoli, it was so dry! Didn't have any olive oil, garlic or ricotta. Just mozz and broccoli.....oh yeah and a couple stray green peppers we never asked for. Hamburger grinder with mayo, ketchup, lettuce, cheese and jalapenos. Instead of jalapenos, red and green peppers were added. I called the place and the man argued with me that what I received were jalapenos because theirs are red! He finally put someone else on ths phone who let me know they don't have jalapenos and that yes what I received were red and green cherry peppers. I was offered another sandwich or my money back hence the 3 star rating. read more

Bring cash they don't accept credit cards and the food not that great you not going to miss out

Part of my childhood - back from the days before the old place burned down and this was the only McD's in Windsor... I suppose I love it so much since this is what defined pizza in my youth. Everything else is a copy. Really good chicken parm grinder. read more

This pizza place is a Windsor Landmark. You grow up eating and loving this pizza and no other pizza ever measures up! The only reason I like coming back to CT is to get Wilson Pizza! We got the veggie pizza and it delivered just as expected. This place has been around forever (not at the correct location) the family that owns this are down to earth and loving treating everyone that walks in the doors like family. There is no food this place makes that isn't amazing. Yes I am just a little biased but hey when you started eating this pizza before you had teeth what do you expect! read more

Always consistent, fresh, real ingredients and excellent customer service! Longtime staple in the community that everyone depends on. People who move out of state can't wait to come back and visit just for their food. When leaving back out of town, their always sure to stop by and order some for the road! read more

Wilson Pizza Palace - Pizza Near Me - Windsor, Connecticut

It really saddens me to write this review. My family has been going to Wilson's ever since they opened there doors over 40 years ago. The food, the owners. We're the best. It was known to all the locals as the best food around. As the brothers retired one by one the food and service has gone down hill. The grinders used to have filling end to end. The calzones were outstanding. Now the grinders are mostly bread and the calzones are even worse. What made Wilson's so good was there food and service. The owners hopefully will read this and really look back to what made them so successful In the past. They need to get back to there roots Charge a fair price and give people a good value for there money. And they will always come back for more. Mr R read more

Would def recommend to anyone but id probably suggest taking out rather then eating in. Food- ordered a medium pepperoni pizza. Pizza crust has a nice crunch to it on outside/tad spongy where the crust meets the sauce. Sauce is very nice, perfect amount. Cheese is very plentiful, greasy and cooked well done. The pizza is very filling and goes a long way. 5 stars on food. Service - took order promptly was told 20 mins. Came out in 15 piping hot. Given paper plates, cutlery and plenty of napkins (you need them trust me). 5 stars on service Location - Bathrooms needed some tlc, dated building. 3 stars on Location read more

I can tell they were under new management bc the quality of the pizza really went down. No one ate there bc of the restaurant itself- it was a hole in wall and kinda of always dirty looking. However the pizza itself used to taste so good, great crust and plenty of toppings. Last few times I went I noticed toppings scarce and pizza I could have gone to other local restaurants for better taste. The service is still good but not worth it bc good pizza was what they were known for and if they can't make a good pie than what is the point read more

Great place. Their pizza is fantastic, but once I ordered their Chicken Parmesan grinder I can't seem to order anything else. A half is really a whole as far as i'm concerned. The grinder is huge. The service is great too. They answer the phone right away, and my sandwich is always ready when they say it will be ready. read more

This place used to be a McDonald's and now is transformed into a local pizza joint. Wilson's is very convenient to my house so I order takeout from here about once a month. I like the pizza here because it is a thicker crust than most other pizza places in the area--which is a feature I like (I'm not from New England so thin crust is new to me). I have tried many different toppings and all were good. I often order the chef's salad which include iceberg, tomato, onions, green peppers, lots of meat and cheese--they seem to be able to stuff a ton into a small container. It's usually enough for three servings if not the primary dish. I'll keep coming back here because the pizza is consistently good! Wilson's does not deliver or accept credit cards (there is an ATM inside) so get your cash ready. I have never eaten inside, I have always had take out. Try to remember your order number they give you when you call as they do not take names. read more

I have been to Chicago, New York and now live in San Diego and I still am yet to find any other pizza place to beat their pie. Maybe I am just biased because I grew up eating this as a kid. Heck, I even remember when it was a stand alone shop and it burned down twice, reopened at the kmart plaza and then took over the McDonalds when they originally flipped the golden arches upside down (classic!) The meatballs are big and the crust is perfection. Tastes even better for breakfast the next day cold, no lie. The grinders are messy but incredible! Best meatball ever! read more

Not the same Wilson's! Since it's sale, Wilson's Pizza isn't the same. The service and their pizzas aren't as good as they use to be. The timeframe they give you for your take-out ensures that your pizza isn't hot when you pick it up. So sad! read more

1.) Introduction: I order when I'm at work, so it's cool. Apparently these guys have been in business for many years and many people love them. They have built a credibility that has kept them around. 2.) Food: It is what it is. The pizza is okay, not typical New York/New Haven style, but I guess it can get the job done. I love the calzones from here. Very yummy, served hot, soft yet crispy crust, and gooey with cheese. 3.) Service: I wish they delivered. I'm not happy about that. If they would deliver I bet they would make even more money. 4.) Impressions: If you're around the area come here for some food. read more

This place used to be a McDonald's back in the day. I'm gonna have to make this a regular stop whenever I'm back in Hartford. They have great pizza, it reminds me of Golden Pizza on Silver Lane in East Hartford when it was still open. Next time I'll have to try a grinder. The way they flipped McDonald's M's into W's is hilarious. They should have cans of soda available. We bought a 2-liter and split it though. read more

Pleasantly surprised: I've been searching for great (I'll settle for good at this point) pizza in Enfield for over two years, tasting one failure after another. Finally, I asked a long time resident who told me to drive 13 minutes south to Wilson Pizza in Windsor. I called in a small spinach and pepperoni pizza. The person who took the order was short with me when I asked how many slices were in a small. When I arrived, the place looked like a dump. Had I not ordered sight unseen, I never would have ordered from there. = O. The grumpy gentleman who rang up my order barely said a word. We got the pizza home and it was still hot, looked good, and smelled good. The toppings were generous, the crust was cooked well, the sauce had a slight kick to it. I only wish there was a little more sauce, otherwise, it was very good. Their people skills and organizational skills suck but they can make a good pizza. read more

Growing up in New Haven, I like to think I know a little bit about pizza. I tried Wilson on the recommendation of a few people and after having a slice I can say, this is on par with pizza we used to get in school. This was truly an insult to pizza. If you think you know pizza, think again. read more

I've been going here for over 20 years! I look forward to the owners son saying, "honey what you having tonight". They love me and my family. Since growing up I've moved to Nashville and to the DC area but i always make sure when I'm home i get their chicken cutlet grinder and a grilled chicken salad with garlic bread. Wilson goes back period! read more
