Magic 5 Pie Co.

3 times now sat at the bar with an order to go and had to reheat my pizza when I got home because my pizza sat in front of where it was made for 15-20 mins while the bartender had no clue it was done, and would rather check his phone over and over then to have the knowledge to realize that pizzas shouldn’t take an hour to be done. Just after steady comments of are you serious that it’s taking this long with two tables in the restaurant they decide to go and see oh this may be the pizza that my customer is waiting for. Common sense doesn’t exist in this restaurant, if you want fresh warm pizza, this is not the place, cold pizza from a 5 mins drive home from pick up.

I had high hopes for this place, having moved to East Norwalk from Philadelphia. The kale salad was 100% Brussels sprouts. It was like eating a pint of them straight out of a blender. The arugula and prosciutto pizza was cold and hard with the arugula and prosciutto falling off before I could get it to my mouth. I ended up eating the toppings as a salad and left the pizza uneaten. The waitress was kind enough to discount the meal by 25%. She was the best thing they had going at this restaurant.

Gluten friendly pies are very good. You can order a traditional pizza but they have a dozen specialty pies that you can’t get anywhere else. Also they have a very good selection of appetizers and salads for the folks that don’t want the pies. We had dinner on a Thursday and there was live music and she had a great voice and acoustic guitar !

Love their their unique pies, their gluten free pie is delicious! Their menu switches as well, my favorite apps are the veal and pork meatballs, and baked clams! People go get some!

We have been here several times during warm weather where we sat outside- great experiences! The last two dinners we had here, inside, were awful experiences. It is cold inside, we ate with our jackets on. Our Brussels sprouts app was bacon and few sprouts. The arugula salad was mostly red onions and a watery dressing, and the pizza was soggy. Our server attempted to provide good service, but clearly was not trained. My husband opened our bottle of wine because she was unable. I’d say this is more of a warm weather restaurant- we will wait until then and try again- hopefully will be a better experience.
