Max Pizza II

Cute exterior with outdoor patio setting available. Reasonably priced food, great quality ingredients and an friendly wait staff. Would definitely come back.

Ehh, I have mixed feelings on this place. First, the service was terrible. Considering we were one of two tables eating in, it should have been much better. Kirstin and I ordered the mozzarella sticks to start (general frozen variety) but the house marinara to dip them in was good. Then we waited… and waited…30 minutes goes by and still no pizzas? Not sure why since the place was dead and there were very few takeout orders coming in to pick up. No explanation from our waitress, just told us it would be a few more minutes (my guess is that she forgot to put in our order just like she forgot to bring us plates for our appetizer). One of the owners was walking back and forth thru the place and didn’t seem to notice or care either. I had the BLT pizza with chicken and Kirstin had the Texas ranch pizza-​both very good. Ice cream was great as well.
No complaints about the food, just the general uncaring attitude of the patrons (and no apology or compensation) is enough for me to never return.

Love this place! I’ve been going to Max Pizza in Bristol for over 20 years so I was very excited to see this one in New Britain open up. Max Pizza 2 in New Britain is pretty nice inside compared to bristol. My pizza of choice is the Pancho Pie! Only place I have ever had a great nacho pizza. But I also like the regular sausage and Pepperoni. The pizza comes out crisp, cheesy, and melty. The crust is distinct and the sauce tastes good
Recently I decided to try the dinners and OMG! I won’t be going to another Italian restaurant for my fix, Max Pizza 2 fills the void. I had the baked mini penne e fagioli! It was delicious, and the portion was
came with soup or salad and garlic bread. Definitely worth the money. My favorite go to spot. Can’t wait to try something else.
There are many pizza joints in this area, but Max Pizza is a gem. You have to give it it a try.

This place is down the street from our house, and after a long day, we didnt feel like cooking, so we walked to Maxs. Awesome decision! I got the turkey bacon grinder, it was grilled perfectly and the meats were soooo yummy! My boyfriend got the salami grinder and loved it! Next time, we will try the pizza! The inside is very neat and clean, calm atmosphere. A few other patrons at the tables, but i noticed they get slammed with pick up and delivery orders, they are that good! Will definitely frequent this place. $ 20 for two meals and enough left over for lunch tomorrow! Yes!

Usually their pizza is tolerable, but they were definitely a little off today. Pizza was over cooked and cut into a million slices. It’s really not that hard to cook and cut a pizza. Very disappointed with the quality of there pizza today.

Pizza is great. When it delivered, still hot and the crust is nice and crunchy.
Went there also for a kid’s birthday party. It’s a small place but they organized it really well. And it’s local!!! Highly recommended.

I had my second baby at hospital of central ct this week and we needed some dinner., we ordered a medium cheese and large Greek salad. The pizza was your standard pizza with medium crust. I do like that they cut it in squares. The Greek salad was amazing. It was huge and they were very generous with the feta cheese. The oil and vinegar dressing was delicious with it. They were quick, accommodating to the hospital and reasonably priced!

I loved max pizza in Bristol and the New Britain joint is exactly the same! GREAT PIZZA!!! Fast, courteous, good selection. Nothing neg to say… now that i’m writing this review i’m suddenly cravin’ max’s famous pizza!!!
highly recommend!

Don’t feel the portion properly? I got spaghetti with sausage which comes with salad and garlic bread I received a ton of pasta and what seemed like 1 spoon of sauce and one sausage when there was pasta for about 3 – 4 people pretty disappointed in that how ever prices are not expensive and for pick up only waited about 10 mins

In town for a play. Stopped at max’s. Staff was super friendly and the wild mushroom ravioli was delucious. Highly recommend.

I did take out one friday night when they first opened. I ordered a small cheese pizza and it was bland and tasteless. I felt that I have had better cheese pizzas from other establishments so I never went back. I am going to try their ice cream someday with hope that it is good. Maybe the pizza has improved since I last ate here since there are no negative reviews for this place except for mine.

Very clean. Great food AND ice cream. The staff is extremely friendly; the owners especially. You can tell the owners really care about the staff and customers; always checking on tables to make sure everything is going well. GREAT prices along with great quality food. I highly recommend this place for a date night with your significant other or even a family night. I wish I found this place sooner.

Stopped at Max Pizza after taking boys to Tramp Flight. The service was great waitress and owner very courteous and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and easily accommodated a group of 11, 3adults & 8boys. We ordered 3 large pizzas Hawaiian, very good first time having it, meat lovers, boys gobbled it, and cheese piping stringy hot, just how I like it. Overall the pizza was good the pricing was excellent. Will come back if we visit New Britain again

I moved to New Britain recently and needed a local takeout place when I’m too lazy to cook. Max’s showed up as closest to my house, so they got first dibs. After having their food, I don’t want to go anywhere else! Awesome portions, great quality, and even better price. Any of their pizzas are great, and their subs are MONSTER! I’ve ordered from them a dozen times and will still keep going!

Yes, Connecticut, I get it. You love square cut pizza. It’s a regional thing. Sicily called…
But for delivery, this Max will fill your head room with loads of melted cheese aboard buttery crust. The sauce is neither sweet, nor incredibly salty — it pleasantly lubes the wedges, er, quadrilaterals, and serves the purpose of those ordering hot, fast Greek style pie.
Normally, it wouldn’t be more than a three star experience, but they delivered an enormous, intact, thick and rich chocolate shake — with whipped cream on the side!
Good food, delivered promptly and at a reasonable price. Loads of feta on that Greek salad, too!

I was driving home from a meeting in New Britain when I discovered Max Pizza II. It is a relatively new facility that has a Mom and Pop feel. There is limited seating but most customers seem to choose the carry out option. I ordered a large pie and boy was it large! The pizza was delicious. My preference in pizza is usually for Neapolitan and Apizza preparations but Max Pizza II hits the spot!

I live right down the street from this place, and my brother and his wife live by the other location in Bristol, so I’m familiar with the food. The pizza is delicious — crisp crust cooked perfectly. Generous toppings. The salads are delicious as well, with lots of ingredients and decent house dressing. As far as décor — the building is clean, well lit and artfully decorated. The site was remodeled from a mom-​and-​pop grocery/​convenience store that had been there for years and was, quite frankly, a bit of an eyesore. The owners completely renovated the inside and outside and it gives a bit of class to my little corner of New Britain.
My boyfriend and I went here again a couple weeks ago, when we were still snowed in by Nemo. The storm was very good for Max’s business, and the restaurant was the most full I’ve ever seen it. The waitress was a bit frazzled, but handled being the only waitress there very well. My boyfriend ordered a steak grinder and I got the penne with alfredo, chicken, mushrooms and broccoli. The alfredo was house made, full of garlic and piping hot. My boyfriend was very happy with his grinder. For dessert, I got a hot fudge sundae with peanut butter cookie dough ice cream. I WILL be coming back here when summer hits for that. God help my waistline.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Max’s II, and I certainly hope you are here to stay.

Max pizza II was a recent savior, thanks to hurricane sandy. Monday found many of us home from work, with the threat of an impending hurricane that would likely leave us without power, possibly for several days, and all major highways closed, with the charge to evacuate (near the shore) or just stay home. Thankfully, i only live a few blocks from this newly opened restaurant. Back story:
My family was a regular customer of the original max pizza, in Bristol. Every Saturday night we would order an antipasto and garbage pizza, and visit my grandmother who lived in Bristol. About 4 – 6 months ago, we noticed some new construction in our neighborhood. There had always been this little corner market, owned by the same people for years, but had recently changed hands a few times. Boy were we excited when we realized the construction indicated ‘restaurant.’ Who doesn’t want a nice local joint? This restaurant is actually sister to the Bristol location. (I think the business is owned by brothers, or something.)
With our power flickering on and off, we decided to give this place a try, hoping their power would stay on. We were the only ones when we arrived, but not for long. The place has a nice, open feel. Booths line each wall, with some tables in the middle. It’s small, probably doesn’t seat more than 30 – 35, tops, but i have a feeling they’ll do a lot of takeout to make up the difference.
Service was a little off, because all of the ‘real’ servers had been sent home due to the storm, so one of the owners actually waited on us. I think he had so much on his mind, what with the storm and threat of power loss, that he just seemed a bit distracted. No worries– we just wanted to eat! The menu is classic local pizza joint: salads, grinders, pizza, calzones, and pasta. We went with our usual, knowing we would likely return to sample other offerings.
Antipasto was delicious: crisp lettuce with a variety of meats, cheeses, and other veg. Somewhat oddly, it is garnished with 2 dill pickle spears. Now– i love pickles. I mean, LOVE them, so i thought it was great. Others thought it was weird. Whatever. We got it with their housemade dressing that is oil & vinegar based, with a ton of herbage; i highly recommend, it was delicious. Fear not the herbage. :-)
Pizza’s not one of my favorites, so i ate mostly salad, but i did sample a baby corner piece… holy crispy crust! This thing was beautifully cooked, and topped generously with green peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, and sausage (we got the anchovies on the side). We did get an extra large (they come small, medium, or extra largel, which was 24 pieces and provided leftovers. Thankfully, we never lost power (despite multiple, sometimes extended, flickers), so they were safe.
All in all, i think this is a solid spot that will gain momentum the longer they are open. I was encouraged for their success by other guests who came in to eat, as well as grab takeout. In addition to pizza, etc. they also have ice cream, and even an ice cream window. They’ll surely get business there during spring and summer. Please– support local!
