I was recently put onto Paul & Vinnie's which is a Ghost Kitchen operated inside Carbone's Kitchen in the Wintonbury Mall by the same chefs that cook Carbone's food. It's a take-out only place that serves Grinders and Pizza. I've tried their grinders and they are expensive but also massive and taste pretty good. The pizza though, BEST pizza in Bloomfield hands down. I've had the Nicks Pepperoni and Vodka Sausage and WOW, it almost saves me a trip to New Haven when I'm craving the best pizza in the world.

Needless to say I will be going back because the pizza is just that much better than anywhere else in Bloomfield, but I will be prepared to wait extra...

Also they always tell me I'm too early before bringing my food out. I think their online ordering pickup time estimate needs adjusting. Hoping these issues can be solved because the food really is delicious...
Read moreHad a meatball grinder from here last night, and honestly it was pretty terrible. Clearly frozen meatballs that were too big for the bread they were on, covered in grease that made the bread deteriorate as I pulled it out of the foil. So much about this grinder was awful that I’m not convinced they know what a sandwich is in this shop. 0/10, save your money and...
