Portofino Pizza

Apparently, mashed potato pizza is a thing in the Brantford, CT area—and I had no idea! I stopped by Portofino Pizza to introduce the wines I import and couldn’t help but notice a huge sign advertising their mashed potato pizza. I’d never tried anything like that before. The young gentleman working there was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain how the pizza is made, what toppings it includes, and why it’s so popular. He was so pleasant and passionate that I couldn’t resist ordering one to go—even though I had already eaten dinner. When I saw the pizza, it looked so good that I had to try a slice right away. I’m so glad I did because it was absolutely incredible—the best pizza I’ve ever had. I would gladly drive an hour just to come back for this pizza again.

Best garlic knots around! Wish I took a picture but they disappeared before I could take my phone out. Love that they’re bite sized! Pizza is best around!

No gruff after a miscommunication about an order. Made the pizza quick and got it out to me no issues. Loved this place since I was a kid and still love it now.

Their pizza is some of the BEST I’ve ever eaten. The dine-in space seems a bit less inviting, however I’ve always gotten carry out, so my impressions are based off of a handful of minutes over the years. Dine In or Take Out, the food is is all you’ll care about.

The Best New Haven style pizza in Madison. Great stuffed breads. Always friendly service. Weekends can be an hour+ wait, so order early. Only 2 tables inside after c19 & they're usually empty. They deliver & carry Foxon Park soda.
