Pianca Pizza — Restaurant in Hamden

I'm getting ready to say some very controversial things for New Haven who does have the title for best pizza in the country Widely publicized on Dateline and 2020. And we all know Pepe's had that title.( which I think they paid for because their pizza was never good to me my mom and aunts loved it but it was never top-tier to me) but if you used to like PIZZA HOUSE from back in the day like 80s 90s early 2000s Piancas is exactly what that was. I used to love pizza house on Howe Street growing up when I would come here for the Summers and they always had the best pizza to me but once the children took over the pizza is disgusting. I had to speak at an event and they ordered this pizza and I didn't try it the first time but it looked really good. They invited me back and ordered the pizza again and I tried it and voila the best pizza in Connecticut🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm sorry hands down🙌🏾💣🔥 there I said it y'all can fight me if you want but this is the best pizza . NOW if they mess up and get crumble sausage I'm talking about the good crumble sausage that you can see the fennel spicy throughout it.... where there is really little pieces that ends up all over certain parts of the slice is over for you ho🤐s nobody will be able to touch this place😝😝😝 okay this is the last thing I'm going to say BAR PIZZA with THEY'RE potato bacon Pizza and I add shrimp cannot be touched especially with a glass of wine ( I bring it home and put caviar on top 🥹🤌🏾 chef's kiss) don't judge me I'm a foodie with a booty. But if you're looking for a TRADITIONAL order pizza for the family, best pizza in the country type place THIS IS IT. I'm cutting right now so I can't have it but when I go back I'm going to upload pictures either way...

Typical neighborhood pizza joint. Small restaurant that services the Hamden area close to the New Haven town line. I have to be honest and say the food here is just "ok", nothing to rave about. They serve the usual wings, salads, hot and cold subs, fries and few dessert options. If you're serious about your pizza, then this cardboard with cheese is probably not for you. I go for wings and wings only as they are reasonably prices and one of the only places that don't give you skin and bones wings with little meat. The flavor options are limited but I'm easy to please.

The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I go to this place maybe 10 times a year and they screw up my order at least half the time. The young Hispanic lady seems to have a language barrier when taking phone orders because she can NEVER get my order correct. I've had her give my food to another customer, not bag items I paid for and the latest disaster was having a 10 piece wings waiting for me after I specifically ordered and paid for a 20 piece. It's the little things, man. I have an abundance of patience but when you screw with my food over and over, I'm done!

So if you're on a budget or not too picky, take a chance on Pianca Pizza. It won't kill you and a few things on their menu might be tasty to you. If you order over the phone, ask the person to repeat everything back to you exactly as you asked then keep your fingers crossed they don't...

We regularly place orders with this establishment and have consistently been impressed with the quality of the food. However, our last three experiences have been disappointing. The stated delivery time was 35 minutes, but the first order took an hour to arrive. On this occasion, we experienced a delay of an hour and a half for one pizza, a small salad, and a 2-liter soda. We did not receive any email notifications regarding the delay. While I acknowledge that delays can occur, this has become a recurring issue. We were compelled to contact the establishment to inquire about the status of our order, and the representative informed us that they were experiencing a backlog and the pizza had not yet been dispatched. We were advised that an additional 10 to 15 minutes would be required. Unfortunately, no apology was offered for the delay. It appears that we will need to explore alternative options for our...
