★★★★★ 5.0 Orlando Costa · Jan 2026

Small place (only 5 tables, with two seats each) with a huge vegan menu, as well as non-vegan-options, we haven't eaten yet, So we'll judge the food after our meal. I'm giving it 5 stars just offering so many vegan options. We ordered the vegan calzone and vegan eggplant parmesan dinner. The vegan calzone came first from their brick oven, it was very good, with very good vegan stretchy cheese (reminding me of Follow Your Heart cheese), mixed with their vegan ricotta (possibly made from tofu excellent flavor), with good Italian seasoning, waited a little longer for the vegan eggplant parmesan it was a large portion, thick slice of eggplant, very close to the real thing.My wife raided it as a 9 out of 10, only reasons it was not a 10 was that she prefers thin sliced of eggplant. The cheese o

Really great pizza. Thin crust, brick oven, cooked perfectly, and not too greasy at all. A usual downfall avoided by Costa. The toppings were simple but really well done, and you can tell they care about what they’re making. Staff was super friendly. The place is a little small, but it has that classic neighborhood pizza feel. As an Italian, I don’t say this lightly — this is some of the best pizza I’ve had in the U.S. My only regret is that I live a little too far away to consistently return.

Costa Pizza is one of my top 3 favorite pizza restaurants in New Haven. I stopped into Costa one day back in 2015 when my co-workers and i were looking for a quick bite to eat on a break from a work training. I grabbed a couple of slices and they were so good. I have been frequently visiting ever since. The food is always fresh, hot, delicious and prepared with love. Their menu is vastly accommodating with food options of all types. From wings (and other appetizers), to their delicious traditional and specialty pizzas, to wraps - paninis - subs/sandwiches, hearty salads, to pasta dishes, and even Vegan and Gluten free options. One of our favorites (which we order every single time) is their Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. Topped with seasoned Chix breast, chopped beef bacon, Gorgonzola crumbles

★★★★★ 5.0 Anna Stroinski · Feb 2026

I use Costa for work catering, and they are utterly fabulous. And even fabulous may not be doing them justice. The front office staff is accommodating, communicative, and kind. And their delivery driving is always helpful with set-up. The pizza is yummy don't get me wrong but the real star is the garlic knots. We DEVOUR the garlic knots. So perfectly garlicky and hot and crispy, and the side sauce is to die for. We will keep ordering from here!

We tried 2-3 types of pizza, calzone, and lasagna, and they were all very good, generous portions and reasonable prices. The place is small, lots of people get their food to go. And it is also halal.
