Danny's Pizza

I have been buying pizza at Danny’s for over 30 years.- lived in Enfield 1966- 2004 even after living in Cromwell for the last 18 years every chance I get I stop in for a Danny’s Special. Well this afternoon - we ordered an XL Special- never saw this size but never look at the menus- - I was hesitant and said to wife- dough to pizza toppings on 2” diameter larger could be problematic. So started eating the pizza on way home - very disappointed. Overcooked, the Crest is the worst I ever had at Danny’s. Those who know Danny’s you have come to expect a crispy gold brown bottom and an outer crust that is crispy- golden brown- and a wonderful inside. This did not even come close. The pizza lacked sauce, cheese, small pieces of hamburger and red peppers were almost non- existent. In fact my wife used to complain that there were too many toppings- If you love Danny’s you know the slices on a Danny’s Special used to eat like a meal. This was almost like a stale crest- the kind there the dough was not allowed to raise or sit or something - dry inside. Danny’s wife was working- obviously not checking quality. I don’t normally write reviews. *** I will encourage other to try Danny’s because it’s a family business and great pizza 98 out of a 100 times. I wish I was not half way home or I would have returned and assume they would have taken care of me. On a positive note we ordered 10 Wings and those were great! Call this review tough love from a loyal customer. Don’t skimp on the toppings- people will pay more for quality. Have someone pay attention to the quality- (today at 1.30pm the Resturant was full of people dinning) however the phone was not ringing off the hook. Heck I even called giving them almost an hour notice saying I would like to pick up at 1.30. I’ll be back again but if this were my first visit, I would cross this off my list since there are plenty of pizza joints around and this one experience would move me to another pizza joint. Sorry Danny- go one vacation and shut down- rest up and check the quality when you get back. Reflect on the review because it’s about how you built the business- charge more- Watch quality.

So I’ve gotten plenty of orders from them but always just pizza. Usually the people on the phone are rude but that’s whatever. That doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is when I ordered an Adult chicken tender meal, and when I opened the box I got chicken cutlets cut up. So I called the restaurant and the first girl I talked to said that’s how they’re tenders have always been. Then she passed the phone to another rude chick and she said they ran out of tenders and that she just wanted to get the order out. She then proceeded to tell me she either had to tell me they were out of tenders or just send the order out. I then told her I would’ve preferred that I was told they had no more tenders and I would’ve picked another entree. However she then cut me off, and said exactly “well it’s the same chicken I don’t understand what the problem is”. I’ll tell u what the problem is sweety, when you order tenders, the customer expects tenders. If u go to a steak house and order a filet mignon then get a ribeye then be told “well it’s the same meat I don’t understand the problem”, no one’s gonna sit there and say “oh yea ok!” No. This place is horrible. So just a FYI if u want tenders make sure they have tenders and not chicken cutlets! Smh

The roast beef grinder was the best roast beef I've ever had. Tender, still perfect mid rare even after toasting. Pizza is typical Greek style done right. Crust is crispy, not too doughy. Toppings and cheese are well balanced. atmosphere could use an update, but there's a definite nostalgic charm. Food arrived quickly. staff was friendly and communicative. Love it!

Totally awesome! We eat at the picnic tables. There are just 2. Everyone else did a pickup at there car. The staff was super nice and really hustling to get folks their orders. I have the Spinach Pie with chicken. My wife had the baked ziti with garlic bread and salad. Highly recommended. Plenty of leftovers. At another dinner this weekend we had pizza, nice thick and crunchy crust. Perfect.
