I grew up eating Greek style pizza at Terryville Pizza and Bristol Pizza. Since moving to the West Hartford area there are a lot more options in pizza style. You have Pepe's for a mediocre New Haven Style (Pepe's in New Haven is still great), Angelina's for a Jersey Shore boardwalk slice, and Naples in Farmington for a New York type pie.
Dino's is by far the best Greek style spot around. Unlike other Greek spots, Dino's bottom crust doesn't get compressed and thin like the others do. It stays semi thick and substantial. The toppings are good too, they don't skimp on the quality of them. You can taste that they haven't cheaped out on their mozz like other places.
As much as I have a pizza addiction, I equally love a good meatball. And they by far have the best meatball in the area. The side of meatballs with the mozz and parm is amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to grab those and go home and make some pasta to have with them.
The hospitality is great. The owners are in there working every day, and no matter how busy they are or how hot it is in the kitchen, they take a moment to say hi and get to know you. Even better if you sit down instead of take out.
Last, the prices are still reasonable. Prices have gone up everywhere, but Dino's has found a perfect balance of quality, quantity, and price compared to everyone else.
If you're in the area, stop in. You won't be...
Read moreThis used to be my go-to pizza place. I had nothing but good experiences until today. I called in my usual and was told 25 minutes with no total I waited an extra half hour with a smile on my face because I understood they were busy. When I ask for a total over the phone it’s usually an attitude, so this time I thought I would just wait till I arrived to make it easier. My food was finally done I went up and asked for a total I called my husband with a phone call time of 16 seconds so he could transfer me the total to pay with Apple Pay. I hung up and said I would like to pay with Apple Pay. Before I even finished the old woman there cut me off saying “Are you ready or you gonna sit there on the phone” in the most condescending tone ever. I stood in shock and said “excuse me are you serious” she said “I’m sitting here waiting for you” like I didn’t just wait an hour for my pizza. I said “I understand but I needed to get the money quick mind you I wasn’t even on the phone 30 seconds” this old woman proceeds to scream and cause a scene and make me come out of character. I told her before I left “I will not comeback and you and your attitude will be the downfall of this restaurant” there was so much more I left out but, Maybe if your old and irritable..it’s time to...
