The Stone and Paddle

Rude management. Especially on facebook. They deactivated it now. I posted the screen shots before they did. This happened JUNE 2016. I have went there before the pizza was normal, as in taste like any pizza even frozen. There wasn’t many people there, the waitress was nice but that is the only thing.
Rude manager, rude owner, etc equals BAD PLACE.

For beer and pizza maybe it’s an ok place. But the rest of the food is awful. And honestly there are a ton of douche bags that frequent this bar, always a bad vibe in there. The management is trash, I have seen them bad mouth customers on their reviews. Looking over people personal profiles and bashing them on their public page. They even had to take down their Facebook page because it got out of hand. Very unprofessional.

My partner and I came in on a Wednesday night around 9:00pm. This was our first time coming here and I was NOT disappointed! We came in and were greeted warmly by the girl behind the counter who just so happened to be our server as well (her name was Kayla F by the name on the receipt). She told us we could sit anywhere so we snagged a seat in the dining room. We got the Pork Tacos which came out really quickly and were OUT OF THIS WORLD! The pizzas also came out rather quick and the server (again) was sweet as pie (excuse the pun haha). Overall a really great experience and I will definitely come back when I am in the area.

A very good option in Manchester where there’s restaurants a plenty. Very large bar area and plenty of seating inside/​outside. Good liquor selection and just enough tvs. I did not eat but the food others had looked good.

Lousy place. Music way to loud soggy fries, greasy meal. Kitchen staff prepping food without hair nets. Douche bag environment. I won’t go back.

Amazing! The food, drinks, waitstaff, and environment were A++. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone looking for a good place to get a bite to eat and/​or have a couple drinks!!!

Awesome drinks and food reasonably priced. Friendly service. Pizza is delicious, beer is reasonably priced, tons of options for draft beer.

The ricotta pie is dependably good and they have done done custom pies for us with no questions!

One of my favorite places for happy hour. You can’t be a 23 oz coors for $ 3.25 and a huge slice of pizza for $ 2! Lots of TV’s and the place is pretty clean. Bathrooms can use some work but overall its a good place for a cheap beer and slice of pizza after work.

Drinks are great. Food is decent. Pizza was good but the wings were okay. Our server was really nice. She was chirpy and funny.

One of my favorite places for lunch/​dinner. Have been back many times and ordered takeout. Always great service and delicious food !

Excellent pizza… all hand tossed. I don’t usual like thin crust, but these are really good. There are many unique specialty pies available… my favorite is the Gorgonzola. Every toping I’ve had are fresh items, from the basil to spinach. Good selection of beers with good prices.

I don’t know why this place has bad reviews, both times I have gone (which have been within the last month) I’ve had good service, the beer and pizza have been great, and the prices are reasonable. They are more than willing to customize orders and have both indoor and outdoor seating. Yummy thin crust pizza!

meh.
the prosciutto pie sounded glamorous and gourmet; it was… not terrible… but… is there a word for «even less than disappointing»? thawed frozen peas, tasteless onions (grilled, but barely), canned mushrooms, and of course, prosciutto. the last time i went, i got the buffalo chicken it was similarly unimpressive. not bad, just so very generic.
i think the quality has dropped like a rock at stone and paddle since we first discovered them a few years ago. the food is consistently just ok where it used to be consistently very good, but my hubs still loves the plain pepperoni…
if you want fancy pizza (which i do), i’d go to camille’s in tolland.

Good place to get a drink. That’s it. Food is inconsistent and the service is horrendous. Terrible

100% wish I could give this place 5 stars.
Heres why I want to…
1.) Pizza — 600 °F Brick oven style — perfection. The crust is the most perfectly cooked crust. Best ive ever had. And theyre consistent.
2.) Good beer specials. Tonight was $ 3 pints.
3.) Nice outdoor seating.
Heres why I cant give it 5 stars…
1.) When I walked in today and walked past the bar all I could smell was old beer.
2.) The service, while overall good… Is slow. Takes 10 – 15 min to get a drink. That being said, when they show up they are typically awesome and nothing but friendly. Just wish they’d show up faster to put drinks in front of me!
All in all i love this place. Everything Ive had is delicious and I always come home satisfied. Hopefully they work on the service aspect so I can give them the 5 stars they are fully capable of!

Stone and Paddle is my go-​to lunch spot in Manchester. Their soups, sandwiches, and salads are all very tasty, but their fries and fry sauce steal the show!
Their sandwiches are huge and made with pizza crust as bread. I usually split a small or save half for the next day. My favorites are the chicken pesto and pulled pork.
Whatever seasoning they put on their fries is absolutely perfect. Salty and delicious, they are stodgy enough to hold their incredible fry sauce. I think it’s a combination of mayo, ketchup, and red wine vinegar and I always ask for extra. Sometimes, I want to lick the container.
The sandwiches can sometimes be too soggy, but you can always ask for dressing on the side.
Great local place with nightly food and drink specials.

I’m kind of surprised this place doesn’t have higher reviews. I have been going here since it opened (as seen by how many check ins I have!) and it is by far the best pizza I have had in the area. I did learn to pass on any pizzas with chicken as their chicken is dry and unseasoned. Also, pass on anything with Gorgonzola unless you REALLY like Gorgonzola because they PILE it on so it’s overwhelming. But everything else is tasty and delicious. The crust is crispy, thin, brick oven baked which is our favorite. A lot of their pies don’t come with sauce so I recommend having them add it (no charge) as they can be too dry without it and their sauce is the best (add to the veggie pizza — yummo!). I recently tried their wings and sandwiches. Both delicious and their sandwiches are enormous and are on brick oven pizza crust — yum!
They recently renovated the inside to expand the lounge area and remove the restaurant area where no one sat anyways. It is much roomier now and the bar is HUGE. Almost too huge! Also, if you go around dinnertime, they have fried pasta on the bar for you to snack on while you wait for your meal. Yum.
I think I know where I’m going for lunch today! :)

I wish Unilocal would have ½ stars as well, because I would given my last afternoon’s meal about 3 ½ stars.
Elite Unilocal & Fans, before you walk into the restaurant, notice the « Unilocal» sticker in their window. pretty cool!!!
Met up with a few friends. I had a big bowl of their soup… chicken something… I don’t know what it was, but it tasted dam good! There was very little wait for my soup, and the waitress was very attentive. Checking in, and offering to fill our drinks up.
Tip: Families with youngsters, pizza slices are only .99 …a big saver… and what kid doesn’t love pizza???
Check their website for specials and events.
Thanks;

So many things on the menu, that worries me.
I find The best pizzerias always seem to have the nice simple menus.
their menu says they serve «gourmet california style thin crust pizza» so it’s not trying to be like new haven or new york or chicago but does that mean they are trying to be like CPK at the mall?
The gorgonzola salad was pretty big, and the pizza was good enough.
when we were there the dining room section wasn’t open and we sat in the bar.
For me, not a destination but a decent pizza if you are nearby.
