Vito's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Wolcott

I cannot believe the consistency of this establishment. I have not had pizza here in 15 years due to my moving to another part of Connecticut. I was just recently in the area and decided to stop in and order a meat lovers pizza. It was exactly as I remember it. Nothing has changed one bit. Why mess with perfection. As soon as you mention that you be dinning in , the staff will tell you to grab what you want to drink from the cooler and someone will be right with you. Exactly the way they did it from day one. Everything looks exactly the same except for the little outside deck they added to the building. Staff is polite and kind . The pizza is awesome. Even with the mountain of meat they put on the meat lovers pizza, they manage to get the underside of the pizza crispy. Great texture to the crust and great flavor. Place is clean and quiet. Clean bathrooms too. Obviously very committed kitchen staff that puts out a fantastic pizza. Only one pizza joint in the area that I could say competes with them is the old Dominic's. Now known as Vinnies & Dominic's. At Vito's, you may notice not a lot of cars or people in the restaurant but that front door is like Grand central station. They handle a huge amount of take- out. If you have pizza on the brain sometime, give them a try . I am sure you will have 0 regrets. And you may put them at the very top as your favorite...

So we've lived in St. Louis, Peoria, IL and visited and tried many pizzas. We're new in Connecticut and asked a Wolcott, Waterbury local where we should go. He said Vito's. And yes, there are a ton of pizza places to go to on the East Coast; we've also spent in Bridgeport and like Crossroads there. To get to the point, the pizza is excellent. They cook it in a pan for the first half (no oil... if it had oil I'm told in Bridegport it would be considered Greek style) and then place it on the bricks for the second half. The crust is crispy on outside and the dough soft, chewy, stretchy on the inside; think Pantera's pizza great crust from St. Louis, only better. The sausage we were told was the most-ordered; it was solid. The pepperoni had a great zip to it; some pepperoni is bland. In addition, we ordered cheese garlic bread and it reminded me of Imo's in St. Louis. This is a no-frills pizza joint that the focus on the pie and that's it. We...

Great pies of all flavors and crust thicknesses. Many other great food items also.

Your pie is made for you from scratch when you order. It might take a few minutes longer than a fast-food factory pie, but the extra few minutes are worth it.

Family favorite is sausage and mushroom in regular crust.

Oh, and spicy chicken and peppers on a thin crust.

Oh, and the veggie pie on regular crust.

Oh, and … great people there too! The owner is in...
