Held my daughter’s 7th birthday here and they had a blast! The kids did a build your own pizza tray and they loved it. They also had fun board and arcade games for them to play while they were waiting for their pizzas to cook. $20 per child for each build your own pizza (drinks are not included which kinda stunk) but just prepare for that extra cost. The new manager there was great, very helpful. Would definitely do it again or recommend to a friend!

We came here because we used to live here 12 years ago. We ordered and it took 40 minutes just to get 2 small pizzas and wings. There were only 3 parties left in the rester aunt by the time they gave us our food. Another kind family gave us some of their pizza because their order was messed up so they had an extra pizza. I ordered a pizza with olives and mushroom. I got onions and mushrooms. They also are out of all drinks except root beer. The service was really bad but the food was incredible

You can't say you know New Haven pizza without trying Eli's. It rivals Frank Pepe's in flavor, texture, and consistently high quality pizza while having none of the line or wait time for a great meal.

He is friendly and professional and, in the one time there was a bit of inconsistency with sauce, noted our feedback and followed up when we next went in, even though we ourselves had since forgotten about it. The atmosphere is always laid back and family friendly, and th

The pizza was nice...the cheese seems to be really high quality. We also had a Caesar salad, which was a great start. It is very noisy with kids playing table hockey, etc. Don't go here if you expect to have a quality conversation. Just go for the pizza and vibes.

My small white fresh tomato eggplant pizza was the worse pizza I've ever had. The eggplant looked and tasted like pieces of brown paper bags! There was hardly any cheese on it and even with sliced tomatoes on it, it was dry. This pizza was $17 and was not eatable!! Lesson learned!!
