Bristol House of Pizza

So we moved to Bristol and ate here and it was great. However, over the summer months, we ordered food and it was horrible! Burnt and hard chicken parmesan, about 2 tablespoons of kids mac and cheese for 5 $, cold french fries, etc. I wish I could go back, but not sure I will!

Love this place! Awesome service, friendly staff, and all around great food! Strongly disagree with all the bad/​low reviews. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

This place is a hidden little gem!!! It is off on a side street, tucked away and not very well advertised (the reason for 4 out of 5 stars). If you haven’t heard about it then you wouldn’t know about it. However, with that being said… I recommend you to find it if you are in that area!!! What a pleasant surprise!
I had ordered the Greg’s Special Wrap. It consisted of grilled to perfection chicken, sautéed onions, peppers and spinach, feta, olives and a balsamic dressing. Every bite was mouthwatering. It was literally good to the very last crumb. I will frequent this restaurant often.

Their sandwiches are amazing, the pizza and wings are pretty good too. Staff is incredibly friendly and efficient. They have beer and wine as well which is nice. Would def recommend to anyone in the area.

I walked in & immediately was greeted by wait staff behind counter. It’s Counter service & they deliver to your table. I picked up a menu & then decided to ask what was popular or their favorites. I decided on the classic cold Italian grinder. It came out Lickety split fast.
Perfect sub roll which is integral to a *great* sub Moist so that it sucks up the vinaigrette but chewy enough that it won’t fall apart.
Capiccola Ham, Genoa Salami,
Green peppers, shred lettuce, white onion, tomato, s&p, vinaigrette.
The sandwich was *yummy* including the vinaigrette. Perfectly proportioned & balanced.
Place was classically, simply furnished, inviting & clean.
Had a relaxing, casual pizza/​sub joint vibe.
Good lighting including lots of natural light from paned windows.
Definitely Family Friendly.
Great place to come for lunch of dinner.
Not Divey.
Has a good selection of menu items:
Appetizers
Pizza
Subs
Stromboli
Calzones
Italian pasta entrees aka spaghetti etc
Kids menu

The Bristol House of Pizza (also know as B-​Hop, by the locals) is your average run of the mill sub/​pizza/​calzone place. But it has some great aspects that make this my go to sub shop.
Firstly, this place is great value. A small sub will put you back $ 6 — $ 7 and a large $ 9 — $ 10. A small sub for me is all I need to fill me up, but I will by a large if I am looking to get two meals out of the sub.
Secondly, the bread they use for their subs is either baked freshly there or delivered fresh every morning, because it is high in quality.
Thirdly, the location is great. Located right on State St. in the middle of downtown Bristol, this is a place you can go for a cheap lunch while visiting the town for a day. It is within walking distance of everything.
Fourthly, they do sell booze (wine and beer) which is nice for a place that has pizza and subs. I personally will have a beer or wine with a sub or a slice, so having that as an option puts this above a lot of the places in the area.
Those are the best aspects of «B-​Hop».
There are some draw backs. The staff is friendly, most of the time. When they are busy they can be a little short with customers and their stress really shows through in their actions and dialog. One of my recommendations to the staff is that they continually remember that they are «on stage» and always being observed by the customers. The system could be set up better also. It seems that those in the front are cooking pizza, making sandwiches, and helping customers. Honestly, I am not even sure what the kitchen staff does in the back.
Overall, though this is my go to place for subs.

Absolutely awful. I had a slice of cheese pizza.
$ 2.43 for a very small slice.
I have had much better frozen pizza. It tasted like cardboard with cheese.
If everything they make taste like that it must be hideous.

BHOP is a Bristol staple!
Beautiful location downtown, walking distance from the water. Pizza is amazing and fairly priced. Staff is super friendly — total family business vibe. New renovations added tons of seating. We used to come with a bunch of kids after baseball practice and they were always so accommodating.
ORDER THE STEAK BOMB!

Won best in state for pizza due to owner popularity vote. Greasiest pizza ever. Gyros are disgusting.

Bristol House of Pizza, aka B-​Hop, is a Bristol icon. The Gatos’ have owned and operated this family style location for decades which was renovated last year to include the adjacent building… creating much more needed seating.
It’s your typical Greek style HOP, with the usual sandwich and pizza menu. Everything here is pretty decent and their menu is appropriately priced.
It’s centrally located in downtown Bristol and within a short walk to shops and Bristol Harbor.
It’s a must stop on a Bristol excursion.

I hit up this Bristol spot for lunch on a weekly basis. Not so much for the pizza, which is pretty good, but for their great salads and sandwiches. One of my favorites is the grilled chicken pita. It is marinated and seasoned chicken, grilled with peppers, onions and mushrooms put in a fluffy greek-​style gyro pita. I usually get mine with provolone cheese and its the perfect, not-​too-​heavy lunch.

One of my favorites spots in Bristol, incredible prices and portion sizes. The staff is friendly and every thing I have ordered has been great. Highly recommend getting a pizza and a sandwich and splitting it with a friend.

I disagree with the low raters. this is a great little gem in bristol good food if you are with kids walking historic Bristol or even if you want a casual atmospere. sandwiches are god and the pizza is great. its the same family from when i was a kid. think of it this way there are alot of pizza places and restaurants in this little town if it wasnt good food how would they stay open for over 25 years

Bristol House of Pizza is perfect after an afternoon of surfing or any other activity that builds up a basic primal hunger. They serve everything, not just pizza. Wings are just okay, pretty good pizza, pretty good club sandwiches. The location is great, and eating outside on one of their little tables with the docks in view is nice. As far as small town grub goes, this is easily better than average.

It’s a popular place for college kids to go, decent food at good prices. The place is decent not great pizza but not bad and they have a long menu.
It’s located in the center of Bristol and I guess you can’t go wrong if you eat here. I just prefer to eat some great seafood if im on the ocean in the good old town of Bristol.

Classic «pizza joint» with decidedly average pizza. On my last visit the crust tasted frozen w/​that kinda carboard-​esque quality that I recall from cafeteria pizza in high school. The Greek Salad underwhelmed as well. Kind of a bummer.

I have to agree with Lou P. Bristol House of Pizza is decent enough — you’ll get full, but it’s not going to blow your socks off. The pizza is a touch greasy, and there is something dry about the crust.
A decent enough choice if you need a slice or the best BBQ pizza this side of the Mississippi. I say that having never had BBQ pizza in Boston or New York, mind you.

Family pizza
Nothing terribly special
Not too bad, either
Bristol House of Pizza, or B-​Hop as the locals call it (okay maybe only me) does one thing well: hearty portions. The food isn’t particularly amazing, but it will definitely satisfy a group any and all groups of little leaugers you might bring in here on a spring evening.
I find everything there a little too dry for me. I’m not sure if it’s cooked too long, if there isn’t enough oil in the dough or what, but everything with a roll or dough is just too crisp and flaky for my liking. Most of the sandwiches are toasted as a rule, and if I don’t remember to ask them not to do so I’m alawys disappointed.
The pizza is nothing to come back for, but it’ll do if you’re wavering between what to eat in Bristol and just can’t make up your mind. There’s plenty of seating indoors, and they do serve a few beers and wines, so it’s not just a grab and go sort of place. As far as prices, everything is super reasonable, with only the stromboli and large pizzas cracking $ 8. The place won’t put a hurt on your wallet, but it won’t dazzle your taste buds either.

Ran in here tonight for a quick bit and was definitely impressed. Kept it simple and tried their Greek Salad and Small Pizza with chicken. Overall quality, value and atmosphere was definitely solid. The pizza is slightly greasy with a nice cheese to crust balance (not too thick or thin). The right «crispiness» makes this a slice worth having. Keep in mind Bristol House of Pizza is a classic, no frills local pizza shop with a dozen tables and an 8 – 10 seat counter you can grab a slice at.
Recommended.

I’ll tell you what, this place has pretty good pizza, but it does a number on my stomach and requires a few Tums.
I’ve also gotten a salad or two from here and it’s all been pretty good, but the pizza is my favorite. Also a fan of the Bristolian and Papa Joe’s Wrap Shack, but they’re all somewhat different so it depends what you like.
Bristol House of Pizza is traditional, their sauce is a little sweet. PJWS is very thin crust with a sweeter sauce also, and the Bristolian makes awesome specialty pizzas. If you’re going to cheese pizza, I’d go here or Papa Joes.
