Sorrento Pizzeria & Restaurant

B&B Reviews It

We’ve passed this restaurant time after time after time and never thought about ordering pizza from there. We LOVE pizza and are always on the lookout for great pizza spots. This particular day we wanted pizza but didn’t want to get it from any of our familiar spots, so we looked at Google Reviews to see what were the highest rated pizza restaurants in Stamford. We saw that Sorrento’s had a good rating and favorable comments. We decided to go for it and give it a try. We knew we wanted to get pepperoni but THEN we saw their Mike’s Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza and said, we have to try that. We ended up ordering a large Mike’s hot honey pepperoni pizza and fried calamari. One issue we had is that their menu on the website doesn’t have prices. I don’t know if that is a new thing now, but I see a lot of restaurants that don’t post their prices anymore. As a customer, I love to know exactly how much I’m going to be paying for my order. I ordered the pizza first and asked the price. They told me $22. Then I ordered the calamari. I asked for the total and they told me $42 dollars. I almost choked!!! Lol!! Dang!!! How much is calamari? When did an order of calamari become almost $20 (plus tax). Apparently, fried calamari is going for that much. We wanted calamari, so we went through with the order. They were pleasant at the restaurant and said they didn’t have any menus left. We brought our order home. Taking the calamari out of the bag, I was a little disappointed that they didn’t make a vent in the container. I also feel like a little more calamari could have been added. It felt a bit skimpy. After paying that much, I wanted more, and crunchy calamari. They were soggy. I crisped them up for 4 minutes in the air fryer. As for the taste, they were, good. I love that the coating is light, but they are very lightly seasoned. I will tell you what was amazing though. Their marinara sauce is absolutely delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed dipping the calamari into the marinara. They worked extremely well together. As for the pizza, it was delicious!!! It looked smaller than a normal large pizza but it was very tasty. Sauce on pizza is my thing. I feel sauce can make or break a pizza. This restaurant can make some sauce. The taste of honey is subtle but it is present. I couldn’t really taste the heat. We love hot oil pizza, so we were looking forward to tasting the hot oil flavor. We couldn’t taste it, but that being said, we were still happy with the flavor. Would we order from Sorrento’s again? Absolutely!!! Would we order the Mike’s Hot Honey Pizza again? I don’t think so. I don’t think I need the honey flavor with the flavor of pepperoni. We will definitely try their straight pepperoni pizza. I know it’s going to be great. If you’re going to order calamari, ask them to make a hole in the cover of the container. Hope this was helpful.

Pretty good flavor in their pie. Excellent service. The pie itself is not as thin as we prefer. Just personal preference. Nice flavor.

I’ve been going to this delicious restaurant since it opened over 20 years ago ! The food is over the moon because it’s always fresh ! The owners like my family and I miss them not being open because I used to go with my friends and family ! You won’t be disappointed!
