I came into Winsted to attend an event and I have never been back to ABC pizza in over two decades. One of the item on my agenda was to grab dinner here. I have always held their pizza at the highest level and for all other pizza places to beat! In over two decades I have never found anybody.

As I walked in and looked around, the place has not changed one bit at all since I started going there since the 80’s. They still had the jukebox since the 80’s sitting in the back wall. The place had the same great smell of Greek pizza! The server working there was just very nice!

We ordered a large sausage, pepper and mushroom pizza. They bought it out quickly and I was so excited to get the first bite of the pizza that I was craving for and what I had remembered.

Overall it was delicious! However, they did change a little bit of the recipe. The crust was thicker and had a harder crunch to it. I loved it when the crust was thinner and was not as crunchy. I had always love their ground sausage with fennel seeds and the unique flavors of spices they put into it. This time the flavor was similar but they took the fennel seeds which was a big disappointment for me. I think they used leaner cuts as it was not as greasy. The sauce and cheese didn’t change and were spot on.

So I was partially disappointed as it wasn’t the same exact pizza that I had remembered from a long time ago but I still give them five stars for still being a very good pizza. Abc has a good following of customers who also said that their subs/grinders still remain to be one of the best.

I highly recommend for you to try this place for good Greek salad, subs, and for their pizza.

Absolutely wonderful ownership. We shared our history and life together and had a genuine conversation. Aside from the great customer service; the pizzas were amazing. I should say and mention that i was raised in an Italian family owned pizza bakery and my expectations are very high for pizza…with that in mind, the pizza craftsmanship was as good as I could have desired and even beyond.
You will love the pizza and the customer service.
Try these folks out, you will be glad

Trying takeout for a third time late July 2022, the most well received item was the calzone with cheese and sausage. A repeat of the buffalo chicken grinder was still good. The meatball grinder was a pass. Anytime a meatball grinder does not have actual meatballs but slices of a meat loaf instead, is not something I'd reorder. Still, if in the area and familiar with the menu, there is something to buy that's worth the money.

A second dinner here since they are open on Mondays and we thought we'd try something else from their menu. The lasagna did not have any meat - good for vegetarians! - as well as most pasta dishes. I just had spaghetti and meatballs the night before, so we decided to try two grinders. The buffalo chicken was packed with tender meat that had just the right amount of heat. Definitely worth ordering again. The ham did not have much meat in comparison, though in all fairness, I've noted most of the pizza places we frequent have cut down on the amount of ham they used to put into this grinder. Polite staff.

Living in the area for over 15 years, hungry and not wanting to drive far, I finally had ABC pizza. The restaurant is a casual place. Great for low key diners. Ordering red wine while we waited, it was appropriately chilled. Too many establishments think red wine should be served room temperature and just leave the bottles on the counter.

We wanted the bone-in chicken wings but they were sold out. Settling for the boneless ones, they were flat, lightly fried, seasoned and tender. Nice. The ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side was thin.

Our meat lovers pizza with hamburger, pepperoni, sausage and bacon had generous toppings that along with the sauce were all well seasoned. The dough was odd. It seemed to be in some preformed mold. Totally tasteless with no blistering, char or visible handmade shape.

ABC has pasta dinner items, too. A neighboring table had lasagna or something similar that looked good, and it came with salad. I can't comment on their grinders, not having tried one. This is another place where it would be helpful to know the menu. Rating: 3.8

Haven't been in awhile until this weekend. Everyone there is always so friendly. Their salad is so good, unique to them and their pizza and hot oven grinders hit the spot.

Called ahead for 2 hot ham and cheese grinders, 1 ham, provolone with lettice, tomato and mayo, 1 ham and provolone ONLY!! $25 for both. Kinda of high but you know how it is. Got home, opened them, the plain ham and cheese was covered in lettuce and tomato, the cheese came of when my husband scraped it off and mine had lettuce, tomato and mayo PLUS onions, so many onions, and peppers. This is not rocket science and ABC Pizza has been around at least 25 years. We called to inform them that both grinders were wrong. They offered to remake them but they are in Winsted, we love in Torrington, 10 miles away. They offered NOTHING else. No refund, no replacement at a future date, no apology. I paid with cash so no credit card receipt. $25 just gone. Never again.
Make sure you check your food before leaving this establishment. Extremely disappointed. Extremely.

ABC Pizza is by far one of the best pizza places in Winsted. Their Buffalo Chicken Pizza is AMAZING and outbeats any place I've had. It's a must to get a Greek salad alongside any of their pies. The best local place around! I highly recommend this for take-out strictly.

Greek salads are amazing!!! Even the small is enough to feed 2... once again stuffed just finished 1/4 of a serving of meatballs and spaghetti...
