Nello's Pizza - Bristol

Hands down best pizza in the area. High quality cheese, well seasoned sauce and delicious perfectly cooked and seasoned crust. Not better than that

I'm a real tough critic on pizza places, I've been going to Nello's since I was a teenager, and when I say they have THE best grinders and calzones I've ever had, I mean it. The classic Italian grinder is usually my go to at small pizza spots like this, and this is the best Italian I've ever had, still to this day (20 years later). The buffalo chicken calzone is also out of this world, best I've ever had. You can't go wrong with a sandwich or calzone here. The pizza is also very good. Side note: A few years ago we were having a birthday party for my son in Bristol, close by to Nello's. The person who was supposed to bring 90% of the food dropped out and couldn't make it at the last minute. My first reaction was, well we need something to feed everyone, and my first thought was I'll call Nello and he'll take care of us. Sure enough, called, he got us 10-12 pizzas ready very quickly, and everyone loved the pizza and asked where it was from. Nello is a class act. He's old school, no BS, takes his work very serious, but is also very friendly and appreciative of your business. You won't have a bad meal or experience here, I promise that

Excellent food with quality ingredients and items made fresh to order. The Buffalo Chicken Calzone with the blue cheese is Amazing!! The people who own this place have sure got it right. Fresh dough with a blend of cheeses can not be matched by any local establishment. I could eat here every day. My girl from Australia arrived and after eating here declared Nellos untouchable in the world of pizza!

The pizza here is delish! We eat here at least once during our annual trip tho Bristol. My husband and I are extremely picky about pizza, and we both love it. I highly recommend it if you're in the area!

They mainly offer takeout since they don't have a delivery vehicle, and I completely understand their choice not to use DoorDash or Uber Eats; those services can be costly, which would lead to higher prices for customers. If you're in Bristol, RI, please support this local gem. They've really struggled during COVID, even facing months of closure after everything reopened!
