“ Tony's Special Pizza is the Best in area, We drive from New London about 25 minutes to get it. That's how good it is, loaded with everything. The Greek Pizza place is on top of their game. Family owned over 40 years & it shows, give them the opportunity to serve you! ”
“ This place is so good! Consistently. I only just realized I haven't reviewed it on here. I've been coming since I was a baby (30 years now) and the wonderful staff have practically raised me. From time to time I still come in for a chicken cutlet grinder toasted with peppers and onions, but more importantly I get the tender love of JCPP. Yes, they will make your food to perfection, but they will also be there for you through the good times and the hard times. A time for celebrating? Go to JCPP. A time for mourning? Go to JCPP. Are you still reading this? You know what to do (thank me later) ”
“ Such a wonderful experience! This was our first experience visiting Jewett City Pizza Palace in well over 40 years. We were not disappointed! The owner, Effie, was kind, warm and treated us as if we were family. Her husband was busy cooking, but took time to greet us and made sure our food was to our liking. Together this husband and wife team assured us a pleasant and very tasty experience!! We each had their fish and chips. We were served three nice sized pieces of fish that were flaky & fresh; the batter complemented nicely and was light with just the right amount of crispness. A lemon wedge adorned the plate, but the fish was so fresh, it went unused. There was a plentiful amount of french fries served hot & crisp. They left a nice 'clean' taste on the palate and the lightly salted seasoning was was spot on. You actually tasted the freshness of the potato. A generous side of homemade cole slaw was served, it was a nice addition to the meal. The big surprise was the complimentary homemade, grilled garlic bread. It reminded me of my mom's homemade bread... A slice of pure delicious, buttery comfort! We are told their Saturday prime rib special is very tasty. We will be trying that soon. The restaurant is cozy, so I recommend you time it accordingly and pack your patience or order take out. In summary, 13.99 was indeed a fair price for our delicious, plentiful fish and chips; the warm welcome was complimentary, but in our eyes, it was priceless! ”
“ From the outside this place looks like every other regular old town pizza place, and even on the inside as you enter. First impressions do not do it justice though. We have now, over the past several months, been to this fabulous little restaurant several times and will continue to go. On our first visit we ordered pizza and calamari. Both were excellent. On subsequent visits we have ordered several dishes... fish and chips (excellent!), daily specials, salads (the in house garlic dressing is to die for), soups, and a few other things. The food is *always* fresh, served quickly, and delicious. On one occasion we tried to order fried chicken, but they said that it was no longer available because the quality of the chicken from their supplier did not meet their standards. We were told, "if we don't like it we don't serve it. Sorry." Judging from everything that we have eaten here, I believe every word. The service is more than just service. You are made to feel like you are among their favorite people, as if you are welcome in their family. It's a place for locals to gather and chat, even among other tables and visitors. It's warm and friendly, and everybody that enters is treated as a "local". One of our favorite spots. ”
“ Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. I recently had to travel back to my hometown & I was so happy to see my favorite pizza/grinder shop was still there. Some things are just too good to ever change! Same Amazing family owned restaurant that will forever hold so many cherished childhood memories ”
