Where to Find The Best “Ridgefield Pizza”
January 19th, 2008 categories: Eat, Drink and Be Amused, Keep Your Kids Busy, Ridgefield
Ridgefield might not have the most famous pizza in Connecticut (remember Julia Roberts’ breakout performance in Mystic Pizza) but we certainly have some of the best! There’s an abundance of Ridgefield restaurants offering pizza “in” or pizza “to go” and for many of us, pizza is the mainstay of family life.
The kids love pizza (the moms and dads too!) , it’s easy, it’s wholesome and when you bring a salad home with it, a pizza dinner is relatively nutritious too. Ther’s a pizza place on the way to almost anywhere in town, offering a convenient dinner on those craziest of carpool nights.
So here’s what we’ve got for pizza restaurants and it’s a darn good selection:
Piccolo – This intimate Ridgefield restaurant is famous for pizza AND jazz music. It’s “always-friendly” wait staff and exciting menu make this a local favorite. Friday nights, they keep baking pies so you can just stop in and there’s always one ready to go. Piccolo offers delivery and take out.
Village Pizza – This NY style pizza place has great. NY style Pizza by the pie or slice, salads, pasta and other Italian favorites. Village is another favorite in my family. They offer take out and delivery. BONUS: Carvel is right next door!
Planet Pizza – this local chain (6 restaurants in Fairfield County) offers terrific pizza as well as a complete menu of salads and Italian food. It’s convenient (located on Main Street) but offers little in eat-in ambiance (but perfect for kids of all ages). They offer on-line ordering for pick up or delivery. I recommend pizza and salad for take out.
Genoa - Genoa Italian Deli offers take out Pizza, pasta and more. They have a few tables but it’s not a restaurant by any means. Their huge calzones can feed 2 or 3 for dinner (no kidding!) Conveniently located near the Super Stop N Shop.
Venice Restaurant – Venice is a complete “sit down” Italian restaurant that has one of the most active pizza take-outs in town. Great pizza but I can’t say much about the restaurant… we only get take out from here. And one more thing, if you call in your order, don’t forget your number. They don’t do names.
Wooster Hollow – Located on Route 7 but haven’t had their pizza in years. No comment.
Pizza Hut – it’s America’s standard bearer of pizza. Impersonal, greasy but extremely dependable. If you like Pizza hut, you’ll certainly like ours. And here’s a bonus, check their website and enter 06877 for a load of coupons.
Now, which is the BEST… hmmmmm… that’s hard to say. Enter a comment telling us your favorite “Ridgefield Pizza”.

Rob, This is a great post! After 3 weeks of trying to work off my holiday love handles, you made my mouth drool! If I ever allow myself to eat pizza again, I think I will go for Planet Pizza first. I find their pizza to be the most authenic NY-style pizza. After that I like Piccolo and Village Pizza. Piccolo, because the crust is thin and crunchy, and Village Pizza is always consistently good, too. I’m off to eat some more tofu. Thanks
