Greenwich Pizzeria — Greenwich Ct Pizza Review

Greenwich Pizzeria has become a Riverside staple and seems to be ever increasing in popularity. Before my first visit, I had never heard of Greenwich Pizzeria (in part because I live in central Greenwich which is ~15 min. away) until my friend recommended it to me when I asked about his favorite pizza places in the area. Greenwich Pizzeria is a well kept secret considering how little it’s talked about but it appears the restaurant has a cult-like following. After hearing rave reviews about their pizza, I decided to go and I wasn’t disappointed. Greenwich Pizzeria boasts a menu with a variety of options and I personally have ordered a cheese pizza, meatball sub, and pasta with marinara sauce. The pizza was quite good but had its flaws. The crust was crispy and thin (New York-style pizza) while the pizza had just the right amount of cheese. The cheese was of high quality and the pizza tasted fresh. The issues I have with the pizza are the dough and amount of tomato sauce. The dough has an odd aftertaste that lingers regardless of how much Orange Fanta one drinks to futilely try and wash it away. Additionally, there’s WAY too little tomato sauce which causes the pizza to taste a bit bland. Where Greenwich Pizzeria really excelled was with its non-pizza dishes which far exceed any of its competitors. The meatball sub I ordered was exquisite. The sauce beautifully complemented the well seasoned meatballs with the perfect cheese to synthesize the flavors. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente which is hard to do but enhances the dish. The pizza was good but the other dishes were incredible. There weren’t many people during my visits but I ate at the Pizzeria during my visits and I noted that the man who was making the pizza brought the plates, utensils, and the food to me which wasn’t necessary but was nice. Greenwich Pizzeria seems to be a great place for a quick slice of pizza with some good Italian food to go with it. The pricing was okay because the small pizza was eleven dollars. I look forward to going back to Greenwich Pizzeria and reordering the fantastic meatball sub.
