This rating goes right down the middle They are super nice here. Good seating outside. The pizza was a little greasy and heavy for me, between New York and Chicago styles. Very reasonable though! read more

Very filling meal! We ordered a small pizza, gyro, and side of veggies. The pizza was phenomenal. Truly one of the best pizzas I've had! The crust was scrumptious. The veggies were for our baby but were too hard for him to consume. We asked if they could be made with no salt or butter, but they said they could not accommodate that request as they are pre seasoned. They reassured us it was not much salt so we ordered it. We tried it and they weren't salty but too hard.. The sign outside of the restaurant said they had the best gyro in town, which is what prompted us to pop in. It was good but not great, the pizza was far better. The service was very fast and accommodating. Our server was very attentive and nice. read more

Yorkside Pizza and Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Yorkside Pizza & Restaurant is a Greek-style pizzeria that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in January 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! read more

We were there for Yale University parent weekend and decided to drop in. It looks like an old style pub from the inside. Pizza boxes were piled high, so that told us something. However, the menu had a variety of selections. My husband ordered the hamburger on the hoagie which he loved and I had the tuna salad sandwich with french fries plenty of food enough to share one plate, but both dishes very different and very good. Throughout the experience, you could smell the pizza and you could see the line of people picking up to go great customer service and a very friendly atmosphere. We may be back for graduation 2026! read more

Ol' stomping grounds for my husband in the 90s! AND pizza is GREAT! The crispy crust underneath is perfect and the Greek salad was delicious! The ambience of the crests for the colleges and football programs makes it classic! Thank you! read more

Consistently good food. Parking is tricky sometimes but it's worth it. There is ample seating and this is the perfect spot for families or someone wanting a quick bite. I love the broccoli pizza. If picking up I recommend calling ahead of time. Kind staff and good food. Highly recommend! read more

Who wants Greek? If you're up for it, then this is probably the place to go. It took a while to decide but their lemon-chicken-orzo soup was pretty great and a perfect starter to my gyro platter (which was basically a Gyro with sides, not an actual "platter" you eat with a fork which is what I was expecting). The Gyro was excellent with thick, crispy meat! Their menu is quite extensive with pizza, sandwiches, seafood, greek, and other items that is sure to have something, even for the pickiest of eaters. Portions were nice as well so you get your money's worth! read more

If you have eaten at a restaurant 50 times over the last 7 years and more if one goes back decades. how can you not be a fan? This is a very friendly outstanding place on York Street that is comfortable, A survivor from the 1970's I would return and return just to make sure this continues for the decades to come. I can't imagine it not being in this location as a place to think back to visits from the past . Our most popular items are pizza and the large greek salad. That doesn't mean the greek specialities are in second place-- it is just that we have become so happy with that salad as we can't get anything close to it in other places. It is also healthy with all the different elements in the salad. That hasn't stopped us from getting sandwiches including chicken salad and pasta dinners as well. We even go for the hamburger with fries on occasion-- making sure to also enjoy a vanilla milkshake. So pleases try this restaurant. With more and more chains and "new" foods the older familiar places sometimes get overlooked. This one should not . With the long term staff and the qualitf food today this restaurant continues to make itself a required visit with every trip to New Haven. You can breath heritage at every table., Can;t wait for the next excuse to visit. read more

In touring Yale with my son I became super hungry and we knew we were far from the famous "New Haven Pizza" but we saw Yorkside out the back door of the library and decided to give it a try. Our server, Kim, was super nice, high energy and friendly. We had Caesar salad with chicken and a pizza primavera. Both were delicious. Highly recommend. Took off one star bc the leather on some of the seats was torn. Needs a refresh. read more

Don't worry about determining a tip! They will just up in 20% for themselves on a takeout order without your knowledge!!!

We stopped in here for a cheese slice and sausage slice while walking around the area.. We really liked this Greek style pizza. The sauce and cheese ratio were perfect and the sauce had a great taste. We ordered inside and sat outside at one of the 2 tables. The inside has plenty of seating and has a retro casual atmosphere. The menu is quite extensive and prices seemed comparable to other places. We would recommend the pizza and will be back again. read more

Criminally underrated pizza in New Haven, CT If its not the big 4 in New Haven (Pepe's, Sally's, Zupparddis, Modern) then its like nobody knows them and it's such a shame because this place is tremendous. On a Food Basis: This restaraunt makes a greek style pan pizza and it is phenominal! Cooked to perfection excellent fluffy crust with the perfect amount of char. Sauce is fairly sweet but complimented with the crushed red pepper i put on my pizza was the perfect ying and yang flavor wise. Pepperoni was charred just right. These guys know what they are doing! On a service basis: THIS PLACE was fantastic very friendly service, We were greeted immediately as we entered the restaraunt once we sat down and ordered, our food arrived quick. The sever also gave my friend's daughter (toddler) a small ice cream on the house for dessert. Very kind. read more

York Pizza had very delicious food and the place is clean and well kept! But you when you are a brown or black person and you walk in and order takeout.

So I was yesterday years old when I discovered they have the best friggin wings. Why no one told me? Like perfectly crispy. So far I've only has the garlic parmesean and it does not disappoint. One day I will remember to ask for it extra garlicky because there is no such thing as too much garlic. read more

Stopped by for a quick slice that eventually turned into a small pizza between two of us, hehe! Very nice Pizza place with ample seating and lovely staff. The walls are adorned with pictures of many classes of Yale, famous people who dined there and even a statue of their family dog (?) Very cute!! Pizza was standard - nice & crunchy base that could be folded up and had. We had the 4 cheese one and thought the cheese was generous. It felt slightly on the saltier side (just as some people mentioned here) but my palette quickly adjusted to the taste. I did burn the roof of my mouth though with the first bite lol, it was HOT!! I think I'll be back again before end of my trip to try their individual slices just cause of how close it is to downtown Yale. read more

My nephew lives in New Haven, CT which is 60 miles from where we live in New York and we take about ten trips a year to visit him and his family. Every time I visit my nephew I have him buy us a large sausage and onion pizza from Yorkside. This pizza is so delicious and it reminds me of the Detroit Style pizza. It is absolutely delectable. You can't eat just one slice. read more

Four of us dined here before we went to Wolsey Hall for a concert. The pizza & Greek Salad were tremendous as usual. Always great food here!

The wings here were a 10/10. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a late night bite near campus.

We've always been curious to try Yorkside Pizza, and thinking it was a Tuesday night we thought it would be a good time to visit - little did we know there was a concert at Toad's Place, so the place was hopping! We only waited for a little bit before getting a seat, and the staff really did a commendable job of handling the volume that they had. Definitely a well-oiled machine here! We just did a cheese pizza and chocolate milkshake, and it really hit the spot! Definitely one of the best Greek style pizzas I've had, and it was a nice change for the typical apizza style in the area. The restaurant had a classic pizza parlor feel in here that we liked! We'll be back! read more

Ate here after a concert at Toads place and loved it so much that we came back for lunch and it was even better. The stuffed clams were delicious, and the Greek salad was so fresh (and huge). We split a small #6 clam pizza as well. The place itself is classic, and a nice relaxing ambiance. A good place to take your family too. We will be back! read more

This is my second time having pizza at Yorkside and it really is a staple in New Haven. We had the slice and salad combo last night and it was just so good! The Greek salad was refreshing and I loved the feta cheese chunks. I went with a slice of the mushroom pizza and it really hit the spot. There is so much history in New Haven. I love all the photos and vintage feel of Yorkside. It's been a family and Yale tradition for over 40 years now. A family run business since 1969, they make everything from scratch- soup to salad dressing, specialty dishes and make their salads all to order. They also make their dough and sauces fresh daily on the premises. Pro tip- be sure to try the Gyro Pizza! Also don't miss their signature soup- Chicken Avgolemono! read more

Always a 5 out of 5 experience! I have lost count of the times I've came here, since as far back as I can remember. Everyone always makes us feel like family. The food is beyond delicious and has remained amazing throughout the years. The restaurant is always clean. Oh and if you come you can't leave without their house dressing. Probably my favorite salad dressing ever! I'm a huge sauce/dressing person so that says a lot. I will continue coming here for as long as I can! read more

What better place to grab lunch or dinner after participating in various graduation activities at Yale University which is across the street . i was with my family and our group of 7 people were Sho' am hungry. We ordered a superb pepperoni pizza (thin crust) that had an amazing soft chewy flavorful crust . It was almost as tasty as the main pizza toppings . The pizza and a dinner salad was right on time after a day of continuous walking, sitting , listening and touring. Beer and wine topped off the meal. Definitely a Sho' am good meal in Derek Branum's continuing adventures of great food and drink ! read more

Pizza is super greasy. I've come here so many times and it's pretty good but you will feel like crap. The mozzarella sticks are my favorite thing to get. The pizza is sub par to me. The moose tracks milkshake is amazing though. I wish they had a smaller size because it's way too much for one person. Pretty decent but kind of expensive for what it is. read more
