Illiano's Real Italian Pizzeria

Been eating here for three decades. I love this place so much I've flown these pizzas back to the West Coast to share with my family. Always delicious! My favorite is cheese with ricotta and basil. Best pizza in SE CT.

Authentic thin crust pizza at its best. They serve you a sample of their plain cheese while you wait. The sample is worth the visit alone. If you want to grab a quick bite, they always have several of their specialty pizzas as slices to go. FYI, their garlic knots are the BOMB 💣

If you’re looking for top notch pizza look no further!! Two nights in a row I’ve stopped by because the food is that good!! They are what most would consider true Italian style pizza (offerings of many different types that they heat up) and all I’ve tried is super solid! Incredible crust, delicious sauce, and to top it off they offer amazing cannolis!! This is a must try for any pizza lover!

The staff was really busy, but they were still very polite! You can tell the building is older but it wasn't dirty! The food we got tasted amazing. We got Mozz as an app and the Arugala and prosciutto pizza as our main meal!

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. I ordered garlic knots, meatballs, and pepperoni pizza. The garlic knots were very good, crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside. The meatballs were quite good also. Simmered in sauce with flavor all the way through, tender and juicy. The pizza was good but I didn't care for the crust. Very floppy and the cheese and toppings just slid off when being picked up. I liked the sauce, just needed a firmer crust. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 8.1.

Their pizza is so good, especially the Sicilian! I love how they sell pizza by the slice and always have a great variety to choose from. Their garlic knots are *chefs kiss* amazing.

Pizza was great. Crust/sauce, very good. Chicken Cutlet on their homemade bread, so good. Better than the other spots down the road

staff always makes you feel welcome every time you’re there, hands down the best Buffalo Chicken Pizza I’ve found in Eastern CT.

Best gluten free pizza EVER! Seriously amazing!

5 Star experience today. Grandma's pizza and the garlic knots were so amazing. 5 star service. Very friendly and very welcoming. The atmosphere was amazing too.

Their service was spectacular, the way you know this place makes their food with a passion and not just for the money, is how to speak about their food that they make. They even gave me and my husband samples of the garlic bread (to die for by the way), and a slice of their buffalo chicken pizza, while we were waiting for our pizza to be finished. The love is in the food and In the people. I highly recommend coming here, even if you are all the way from Mass
God bless your kind hearts.

Traditional, Italian-owned, New England Pizzeria! Cozy atmosphere and yummy food, generous portions. Courteous staff.

This is a local family style Pizza restaurant with locations in a few local / nearby towns. Anyhow, the place serves great Italian cuisine at affordable prices. From Pizzas to Pasta including grinders and everything in between. Tgeir staff is always courteous and service always friendly. One thing that sets them apart from others, besides the food, is that if you to order take out, they always serve you a small slice of their fresh cheese pizza. Personally, I like this little touch. So the next time you're in the mood for some Italian food, look no further than Illiano's.

One of my fav pizza 🍕 😋 😍 places to go eat reminds me of new york my fav is Buffalo chicken pizza or pepperoni with pineapples with extra cheese but who am I kidding all the food there is delicious the worker's are awesome service is fast go check them out you won't regret it and great place for family!

Was waiting in line to pick up an uber eats meal when an employee reached over the counter to hand me a free thin slice of some hot/ freshly made pizza. That little slice was so good I can’t wait to go order my own pie!

We got a special pizza and ilianos special grinder and holy cow, we will be back for sure. Crust on the pizza was nice and crispy but still soft, flavor on the sauce was very nice! The cheese and herbs on the grinder were super fresh and the bread was SO GOOD, the menu said they get bread deliveries daily from the bronx so that’ll do it. Friendly and fast service!

This place! They have the most delicious spaghetti and meatballs my family and I have ever had, and the cheese pizza is to die for! Not only is the food out of this world, but the service is so welcoming. As soon as you get there, they give complimentary pizza for the family and kids. I can't tell you how many melts downs this has saved me with my kids. On a cold and rainy day, this is our favorite place to come.

Love this place. You always get a taste of their pizza when you pick. I always order pizza well done, and it’s always prepared that way for me. Best pizza around.

I love the marinara sauce, it is spot on! Get extra and dip your garlic knots, also the spinach and sausage Stromboli and calzone. It's amazing.

The only improvement I could say is just to make sure you got everything you asked for before leaving the restaurant. They are super busy and sometimes parts of the order gets missed while they are trying to give super fast and friendly service.

That crust though, wow!! What a great find. Two days in town and found the best crust, pizza, and people. Felt like a local that knew the secret code. Well done!
