PIZZA CASTLE- Waterbury, CT: The Best Pizza In Town

Pizza Castle pizza is  the best pizza I have ever had in my 35 years of living.

But pizza is pizza, right?

NOPE.

 

 

When you want thick crust, with lots of cheese, and an abundance of your choice of toppings (pepperoni and sausage are my favorites), then there is only one local restaurant that can deliver a piece of pie so good that you'll just have to come back for more.

The great thing about Pizza Castle is that they do not just serve pizza.

 

I discovered chicken marsala when I was in college, and when I came back home, the only place that could serve it correctly was...you guessed it...Pizza Castle.

 

Stuffed shells? One of my wife's favorites. Where does she always order it from? Yes, Pizza Castle.

 

Pizza Castle, as it is called by the locals, is formally known as the Castle Restaurant and Pub. Located on 143 Chase Avenue across from Waterbury Plaza, Pizza Castle has been a Waterbury landmark since 1978, when it was first opened.

Besides pizza, and the usual fare at the pub, Pizza Castle offers a variety of Italian and American cuisine, as well as seafood. Lunch and dinner at Pizza Castle can be a sit-down affair, with its antique setting, mirrored walls, and even an outside patio, or you can order your pizza or other menu items to go. There is dleivery service in the Waterbury area available.

On certain days of the week, Pizza Castle offers great deals on pizza and other menu items.

AMALFI’S PIZZA AND ITALIAN RISTORANTE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I fell in love with Amalfi’s grinders the first time I had one.

 

It was a regular ham and cheese grinder, with the usual – mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and onions, salt and pepper, oil and vinegar. Nothing that I couldn’t have gotten from any other place – except that it was rather late in the day, and Amalfi’s Pizza was the one of the few places still open.

 

I have to admit, I was very curious about the bread that Amalfi’s Pizza used for their grinder rolls. It was like nothing I had ever seen before.

 

The bread, it turns out, was the secret to Amalfi’s Pizza making a great grinder. Amalfi’s Pizza makes its own grinder and sandwich rolls fresh in the shop.  

 

And the size – oh, Lord – the size of the grinder rolls makes it worth going to Amalfi’s Pizza for a grinder, no matter what kind (and they offer many selections of both cold and hot grinders) all the time.

 

Don’t take just my word for it. I have gotten my wife hooked on Amalfi’s grinders, and almost every Friday, several of my colleagues at the school in which I teach and I regularly order grinders for lunch from Amalfi’s Pizza.

 

Just last month, Amalfi’s Pizza expanded to include Amalfi’s Italian Ristorante across town, offering the same great grinders, and other Italian cuisine – in a very elegant restaurant setting.

 

If Amalfi’s Pizza and Italian Ristorante regular menu offerings are any indication, Amalfi’s Pizza and Italian Ristorante catering services must definitely be to die for.

 

If you are in the mood for some great food, you can either stop by Amalfi’s Pizza , located on 581 Chase Avenue, Amalfi’s Italian Ristorante , located on 580 Wolcott Road, both in Waterbury, or you can call for delivery.

Louie's Pizza House

You can go to just about any pizza place in town for a slice of pizza, and if you want delivery, then all you have to do is call.

 But where do you go when you want something special, that only a few places actually specialize in?

  Almost every pizza place in town offers more than just pizza, but only a few offer gyros, and none make them better than Louie's Pizza House.

  Seriously, ever since Philly Steak & Gyro at the food court in the Brass Mill Mall shut down several years ago, I was at a loss for where to get a good gyro - lamb, tomato, lettuce, and onions smothered in a special Greek sauce wrapped in pita bread. I had tried a few other places - one now also defunct, and two others still around - but none of them came close to what I experienced when I found out that Louie's Pizza House offered them.

Honestly, Louie's Pizza House is the only place I'd even consider ordering a gyro from.

Louie's Pizza House, located at 126 East Main Street in downtown Waterbury, close to the Palace Theater, is a family-owned business that has been in operation at the same location since 1970. Besides pizza (obviously) and gyros, Louie's Pizza House offers a selection of other menu items - Italian specialties, specialty pizzas, fresh salads, hot or cold grinders, stuffed baked calzones, and appetizers.

 

Louie's Pizza House also has a delectable assortment of desserts to choose from.

Louie's Pizza House has delivery and catering services as well. Call for more information.

 

 

Louie's Pizza House             Phone # (203) 754-2998

Hours:  Monday-Wednesday 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.  

Thursday-Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 

Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
