Family Pizza Restaurant — Restaurant in East Lyme

I would like to start off by saying that this place is absolutely horrid. While other reviews may be conflicting, I can assure you that this location is not all that it is hyped up to be.

I've lived in this town for years, and never once enjoyed their meals. Their grinders taste funny, or overall unsatisfactory, for one. They sometimes taste as if the staff members simply scrounged together whatever old, crusty materials they could find and threw them onto a sandwich. Their hot dogs are rather unsatisfying as well as boring. However, the pizza is the main attraction; that does not mean it is good at all. No matter what kind of pizza you order, you are met with an over-greasy product that has little to special or even unique taste to it. You could go to Village Pizza down the road and receive a much more satisfactory product.

Last but certainly not least, the premise is unclean. One time while ordering my food from indoors, I witnessed a large cockroach moving up the wall behind the counter at which I was ordering. It was disgusting, and it truly convinced me to never eat there ever again.

In conclusion; I do not recommend this establishment for your pizza-eating cravings. In addition to owners who are so rude and mean to the point where they should not be allowed to own a business, the food is...

Started off great, walked in (party of two) greeted and sat down. Ordered an appetizer, the server was training a new employee. We received our mozz sticks, very quickly, we ordered our food. (We were the ONLY patrons in the restaurant) we waited and waited and waited. During our extremely long wait, the two main staff gossiped about other employees AND the owner very loudly. Cussing and bad mouthing someone who had called out sick. It was really weird. The new employee looked uncomfortable, I know we were. The server looked at us and said wow it’s taking along time for their food and just went back to chatting. One of the employees put in a food order and literally got her food within minutes while we waited nearly 40 minutes. The owner came in and they STILL carried on with their conversations. When the food finally came out, it wasn’t cooked correctly but instead of trying to fix anything we paid and left, it wasn’t worth it. 60 dollars for trash service and burnt...

Thought we would just take out a pizza but when we got there to pick it up we asked if it would be alright to sit outside and eat it since we aren’t in the area we can’t just quickly go home. They said it was okay. A few minutes into it a waitress comes out with customers behind her and goes “um so the area isn’t for take out and it’s for customers so…” and didn’t even have to guys to say she was kicking us out. We mentioned that the lady in-front said it was fine because it wasn’t busy. I counted 5 other open tables to eat at outside but I guess she absolutely needed to put her customers at our table. If it was busy I understand but she kicked us out of our table and made us leave when there were other tables open. I really liked this place and I come every time I visit niantic, but rude servers often cause businesses to...
