Fairfield County has the some of best pizza spots in the Tri-State area. One of them is Rizzuto’s Wood-Fired Pizza Kitchen, which has 4 locations in Connecticut: Bethel, West Hartford, Westport, and its recent addition, Stamford. On the menu are antipasti, pasta dishes, specials written on their blackboard, and of course, Neapolitan-style pizza. The pizza are sold in individual sizes (which really is enough for 2 people to share), and in a large size.

Parma Margherita Pizza
|
Rizzuto’s Margherita pizza is made with house-made mozzarella, plum tomato, basil, EVOO and can be served plain or with set toppings, like the “Tony” made with grilled chicken and spinach, or “Rocky,” made with shrimp, roasted garlic, and olives. The Parma pizza is a great pie. Slices of Proscuitto di Parma are added right after the pie comes out of the oven. The pizza is thin and crisp. The large chunks of plum tomatoes burst with flavor as you bite into them. And the cheese is perfect…it’s one of the key ingredients that makes each bite wonderful. The cheese is rich, and added the right amount of saltiness to the pizza. The crust – one of my favorite parts – had a nice chew to it and was crunchy.
Of the signature pies, We’ve fallen in love with the Sausage and Potato pizza. It’s made with Rizzuto’s house-made fennel sausage, slices of potato, broccoli rabe, roasted garlic, and parmigiano. One bite got us hooked. Plus the kick from the red chili pepper flakes added a nice touch.
