Kent Pizza

This place has been our pizza stop as a family tradition for over 40 years. The people have changed but the food and flavor have maintained.
They recently renovated and it looks great inside. The staff of responsive and friendly. The food was just as good as I remember it. If your in town or just in the neighborhood this is a great place to eat.

The best pizza you will have in your life ! Great service, great staff. Very clean.

I usually only ever order take out from Kent Pizza, and let me just say their buffalo chips are to die for. Nice and crispy. Their pizza is fantastic, the buffalo chicken is my top pic. But any normal pizza is fantastic too! The crust is a happy medium between a thinner crust and a thicker one. The grinders (chicken Parmesan) and salads (grilled chicken) are also fantastic.

Been going to Kent Pizza since I was a kid. Love their pizza (though the way I understand it ownership has changed hands over the years). The physical appearance of the place is nothing special, but you’re going for the food at Kent Pizza not the atmosphere. Staff is friendly and service is good. Grinders are excellent, too.

Personally I like Italian style pizza. For greek style they are just ok. We normally get the extra large party size pizza. My kids love the buffalo chips. I prefer the hot roast beef grinder. The waitresses are very friendly but the owner who normally does most of the cooking doesn’t give his customers the time of day. This place is your ordinary same old pizza joint.

We ordered a large chef salad and a small cheese pizza. The chef salad was a simple chef salad. Nothing to complain about there. The pizza was OK. Greek style. The bottom was crispy but the sauce ruined it for me. It was simply lacking flavor.
The main reason I may not return is the bathrooms are simply disgusting! There is no reason why a restaurant can be old but not be clean.

Winsted has more pizza places per capita than perhaps anywhere in the world… but this is one of the best ones for pizza and grinders.
The place itself is old and nothing to look at. However, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. I always visit Kent Pizza whenever I am in town.

If you’re looking for a quiet dining experience, head a few steps down to the dining room at Tuscany Bar and Grill.
Kent Pizza looks like a scene from an old, 1980’s gritty action movie. Families, and teens come in, order their food for take out, or eat in. Manners, and traditional dining etiquette is out the window at this place. Which is fine by me, sometimes it’s nice to go out to eat and still be in comfort where you can relax like you’re home.
We ordered the mild hot wings. Not entirely sure of the batter, but it tasted like beer-​batter. Very crispy, and yummy. Just writing this review is making me crave them. We ordered our wings mild, which was a little too mild. We’ll definitely order «hot» next time. We then ordered the heart attack pizza, I mean, the Meat Lover’s pizza. Haha ;) it was very good! By the way/​helpful hint: this is the better deal. You get a total of 6 toppings. And for 4 toppings (you pick), you pay nearly two dollars more. Our Meat Lover’s pizza came with cheese, ham, bacon, meatball, jalapeños (we added), and honestly, I forget the rest. But it was damn good.
Our bill was under $ 30. Appetizers, a large Meat Lover’s pizza, a snapple and water. Can’t complain.
Oh, and our waitress was extremely friendly, and fast.

Came in on a Friday at around 4 pm and ordered a large cheese pizza and an order of buffalo chips. The food came very quickly. The buffalo chips were absolutely delicious, very crispy and not too salty. I’m not a fan of buffalo flavoring, but the flavoring on these homemade chips is hard to resist.
The pizza was absolutely delicious. Not too much grease, which is great. The crust was kind of thin, not too doughy but not thing enough where it breaks when you try to lift it up. The reasonable price also was a great part of the meal!
I would give this place five stars, but I’m a sucker for the New Haven pizza and this pizza is one star below New Haven Pizza. However, it’s by far the best pizza in NW Connecticut. If you find yourself in the area, stop by — you won’t regret it!

I’ve been eating Kent pizza since I was a little girl growing up in Barkhamsted. Through the years, they have consistently filled my craving for thin-​ish crust, super cheesy, satisfying pizza with a nice, robust sauce. They won’t stand up to the trendier flatbread places, but their ingredients are fresh, and they always greet you with a smile. I live in California now, and I find myself comparing every new pizza place that I try to Kent. Very few live up to the mix of great taste, satisfying texture, and affordability that Kent pizza offers. Definitely a solid choice for a weeknight where mom just doesn’t feel like cooking.
Also. The square cut. I annoy pizza places everywhere because, to me, the square cut is where it’s at!

Kent is a winsted institution for a reason. The food is great. Now I will admit sometimes on a slow day you’ll get someone newer cooking and the pizza won’t be as great. Honestly Pete makes the best pie but its always good and the staff is super friendly.
The grinders are alright. Good but not the best in town. Dinners are all really good and well priced. Desserts are fantastic all made fresh on site. Definitely try the cheese cake.
This is not a fancy place is a locals place and well priced. The ambiance is typical winsted which is, Who cares as long as you get a good meal. Expect a full house on Friday and Saturdays with a steady line for take out.
All in all Kent’s will always be the pizza I long for. I live in Mass but still stop in to eat here whenever I can.

Kent pizza is not very good. The pizza is far less tan mediocre, by far some of the worst pizza i’ve ever tasted. Either I am spoiled with amazing pizza, or Kent Pizza truly does suck. The grinders are pretty good, but the pizza is horrendous. I actually threw out half of my pizza that I bought, it was that bad.
I highly recommend you do not go here unless you are not planning on eating the pizza.

Kent is a good place for «Greek» pizza in the Winsted area, the pizza is made with fresh ingredient’s, besides pizza they have some pretty good dishes… my favorite is the sausage, eggplant and meatball casserole. Kent is a good restaurant to take your family where you can eat tasty fresh food at reasonable prices. The service is good as well, I would definitely recommend this place.

Mediocre in the extreme: not terrible, but bland sauce, canned mushrooms and paper plates. Edible, but forgetable. Unless, of course you like enjoying a pie with the HVAC unit in the middle of the dining room: then, this place is for you.

Okay, okay, my really good friend’s almost husband’s family owns this place, but I was in love with Kent before the two of them even knew each other, so I think I win…
Eat the calzone, people! So good. The dough is crunchy without being so crispy that shards of sharp dough scrape the roof of your mouth. There’s a ton of cheese, too, but not so much it’s allPlus they have some of the best sauce – it’s zesty but not spicy.
For you veggies out there, they make one of the best eggplant sandwiches (grinder) in the world. I lived on them through high school.
A main stay in this tiny town, Kent’s is a favorite of baseball teams and church groups, so Saturday for lunch can be a bit crazy if you’re planning on eating in.
They do have some beer, though I believe your choices are Bud, Bud Light or Bud…
If you’re passing through NW CT for any reason and get hungry, I highly recommend stopping in.
