New Canaan Pizza

I've been here before and knew the former owners. Was concerned that the pizza would be worse than before, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. In a way it is better than it was before, I had to find out who worked on certain days because one of the previous owners had a reputation to water the sauce while he worked, but the new owners did not have this problem. ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger, Veggie, chicken parm and four cheese pizzas. All were delicious and worth the cost. Best pizza in New Canaan.

Good Pizza! I was 20, more than 65 years ago, before I had my first pizza. I was culturally deprived. For twenty years I dealt with New Canaan Pizza. I ordered what I thought of as a deluxe pizza, onions, peppers, black olives, mushrooms, and (double) sausage. Then the owner sold out and New Canaan Pizza closed but with a promise to re-open under new management. For months, I would stop to see if there was any progress toward reopening., No Joy. I tried every other pizza around. Still no joy. I gave up pizza. Finally it reopened. I was ecstatic. Ordered. Disappointed. Tried again. No joy, no pizza. Gave up pizza. Then came the pandemic. I was ordering groceries delivered and every fourth or fifth meal in. Now when ordering food in, pizza is the first choice and every third or fourth choice. So, I ordered from New Canaan Pizza. And, voila! It was deluxe pizza as I remembered it. I would order a large, eat two slices and carefully double-wrap and freeze the other six. Now, since the pandemic, there is not much to do. Every day, I spend at least twenty.minutes planning the evening meal. Last night, I planned pizza, with the left over ribs and pork tenderloin. When i went to the freezer this am I was disappointed to find no pizza. I went to Grubhub and re-submitted my last order for delivery at the cocktail hour. Boy is it good. Now, after ordering pizza from lots of places, I acknowledge that pizza is a matter of taste. Some people even like Dominoes. I recommend New Canaan Pizza. Give it a try.

New Canaan Pizza was my family’s Friday night tradition for over 20 years. My family has all moved away, but I make an annual trek through New Canaan on my way to the Cape to stop for a “House Special.” I’ve missed a few years and was worried when I read today on their website that they have new owners. But, I ordered my pizza anyway. Just as their website says, the Ramos family has successfully passed the torch on to the Gutierrez family. Our pizza was delicious! Tasted just like it did 20 years ago! I’ll be stopping again next year!

The burritos are delicious. The carnitas especially. And I love Greek style pizza. I wish they would cook it a tiny bit longer even when I ask for well done but it's still great.

This restaurant has superb service and yummy menu. One of my favourite places around town. The food came out rapidly and the rates are inexpensive. Highly recommended.
