Pizza Castle Restaurant

Score
143 Chase Ave, Waterbury, CT 06704, USA

Pizza Castle's interior has undergone a renovation, presenting a refreshed dining space. Dishes such as the Thai Chicken Salad and Spinach Artichoke Dip are noted for their appeal. The grilled cheese and orzo soup from the lunch deal is described as buttery and cheesy, accompanied by a small coleslaw and homemade bread.

The establishment has faced criticism regarding order accuracy and customer service. Multiple instances are cited where orders were prepared incorrectly, leading to dissatisfaction. Managers reportedly deflected responsibility, particularly for orders placed through third-party delivery services. One customer reported receiving a small clam chowder instead of large, and a pizza missing its advertised sausage topping.

Despite some patrons finding the food to be delicious and the prices reasonable, others express disappointment. The lingering sentiment from some reviews suggests a decline in quality and service over time, with a perception of reliance on frozen ingredients and a lack of culinary expertise.

Score
159 Manor Ave, Waterbury, CT 06705, USA

Angelina's Apizza presents a New Haven-style pizza tradition. The char on the crust, a hallmark of this style, is pronounced, lending a smoky depth to each bite. Toppings are applied with restraint, allowing the foundation of dough and sauce to speak.

The vegan options demonstrate a commitment to broader palates. A vegan chicken grinder, loaded with vegetables and a touch of heat, proves substantial. Such accommodating choices are offered by staff who willingly provide recommendations.

Despite a nondescript exterior, the focus remains squarely on the food. This dedication to execution is evident, and a party of nine found no faults in their selections.

3005 E Main St, Waterbury, CT 06705, USA

Antonio's Pizza offers a straightforward approach to Italian-American fare. The chicken cutlet preparation stands out, featuring a substantial portion with well-applied breading and a balanced sauce. The accompanying pasta avoids overcooking, and the cheese application is judicious.

The Florentine pizza presents a thin, chewy crust with a noticeable flavor. Toppings include sizable chunks of sausage and fresh tomato, complemented by a generous hand with ricotta and spinach. The establishment maintains a tidy dining and kitchen area.

Despite the general quality, there are occasional inconsistencies. One experience noted overcooked pizza edges, bordering on burnt.

130 Reidville Dr, Waterbury, CT 06705, USA

The Waterbury Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana presents a focused menu. Pizzas arrive with a distinct, well-formed char, particularly when requested lighter.

The tomato pie, a straightforward yet effective preparation, holds its own. Customer service operates efficiently, with staff prepared to adjust pizzas to precise specifications.

Desserts provide a definitive finish. The spinach and gorgonzola pizza offers a complex flavor profile, distinguishing it from simpler offerings.
