I’ve been coming here for many years, and it’s my go-to pizza place for lunch! I have never been disappointed with anything on their menu, which is fantastic and tasty, and the prices are great! In fact, every meal is always made fresh on the spot and very flavorful! The staff is always welcoming, and the service is excellent! I love coming here, and it’s my go-to place!

Great food reasonable price. The house special pizza was spot on slight crisp bottom enough dough to bite and great balance of toppings.

Great food, great owners!
My car broke down, hours from home, right in front of this shop. The hospitality was phenomenal as the owners let me stay and watch the Celtics game with them as AAA worked at a snails pace on my car for 4 hours. The owners provided great service, and welcomed me in as if I were family. The beautifully delicious chicken souvlaki distracted me from my car kicking the bucket outside. The stuffed grape leaves were top-notch as well. Amazing restraunt with great owners!

Good place for lunch after a bike ride on the FCT. We sat at some outside tables they had set up in the street. We had a couple of delicious NY Style thin crust slices which set us up up nicely for a bike ride back to Farmington. Great place to people watch!

Pizza is mid. Nothing special. Compared to other New Haven Pizza, it’s not good. Compared to most CT Pizza even. Crust is cooked inconsistently. Too greasy. Sauce is probably the best part of the pie but I’ve had better.

I’ve been going to Town since I moved to New Haven over a year ago and I love this place. Not only is the food good but the owners are great. Every time I go, I have a great interaction with them and they are some of the nicest people I have met here in New Haven. As for the food, I love their pizza, which sadly is criminally underrated in the shadow of the more well-known places in the city. It is more New York style rather than New Haven style and you can get it by the slice. The gyros are another standout on the menu, and usually what I get when I’m not getting pizza. Overall great place with great people.

There’s something about a place that’s been standing since ’82, wearing its years like hard-earned medals on brick walls that have seen every season New Haven knows how to throw. Town Pizza sits there on Whitney, between the shadows of office buildings and the truth of what America really is, a place where pizza meets shawarma, and nobody blinks twice about it.
The worn ceiling tiles tell you stories if you’re willing to listen. They speak of four decades of steam rising from plates where Italian and Middle Eastern dreams collide: a gyro platter that arrives like a peace treaty, the meat carved thin enough to read yesterday’s news through, laid beside potatoes that gleam like old gold under fluorescent lights that have seen better days.
But here’s the hard truth, the kind that sticks in your throat like olive pits: every restaurant in this city is a battlefield of reputation. Town Pizza fights its wars on multiple fronts – against the whispers about rodents that may or may not march at midnight, against the conspiracy theorists who see shadows where there’s only za’atar dust, against the politics that somehow found their way onto plates meant for breaking bread, not breaking spirits.
The vinyl booths hold you like an old friend who’s seen better days but never lost their dignity. They’ve cradled students, lawyers, dreamers, and doubters. The tables between them are clean enough – not operating-room clean, but honest-clean, like weathered hands that have worked all day.
What you get here is real – real in the way that makes some people uncomfortable. The Greek salad comes sharp with olives and truth, the tzatziki sauce cool against the heat of questions about inspection reports and political alignments that shouldn’t matter when hunger is the only argument worth having.
This is America in miniature: complicated, controversial, but still serving plates heavy with possibility. The pizza boxes go out the door under the same star that guides both the critics and the faithful. The pita bread still arrives warm, regardless of which side of the political divide you choose to butter it on.
Should you eat here? That’s between you and whatever god you thank for your daily bread. But know this, places like Town Pizza don’t survive 41 New Haven winters by accident. They survive because they offer something true in a world starving for authenticity, even if that truth comes with a side of controversy and a slice of doubt.
The food is good, good in the way that matters when you’re hungry and tired of pretense. But this isn’t just about food. It’s about whether you believe in places that show their scars, that refuse to apologize for their complexity, that serve their story alongside their shawarma.
Check the health reports if you must. Read the reviews until your eyes blur. But remember – sometimes the most honest meals come from places that have weathered every storm the city could summon, and still open their doors each morning, ready to serve whoever walks through them, carrying their own hunger and their own truth.
Town Pizza stands there on Whitney, neither hero nor villain, just human – deeply, unapologetically human. Take from that what you will, and order accordingly.

My lamb shawarma was so good! All my family members said their Mediterranean food was good too. Including the cheeze pizza my kid ordered! P.S. Hello this is the family from Northern VA that you talked to.

I ordered the lamb-off-the-spit with rice and a greek salad. Half of the dish was the salad with a remarkably stingy portion of rice and lamb. Don’t get me wrong: the flavors were impeccable. The salad was delicious and the lamb was juicy, tender, and flavorful. The biggest problem is the portion size. After the tip I paid about $20 for the meal. I ate every bite and felt like I needed a second lunch. I will go back because the food was that good but please give a little more to eat!
