I wish i could give ten stars, the best pizza I’ve ever had to travel far and wide just to eat this pizza. Jules was so nice and helpful. All around just a great business with great food.

I highly recommend. It's my go-to pizza place. Fast, clean, very generous with toppings. It's good stuff

I would leave six stars if I could– Illiano's is one of the best pizza places in Connecticut. I have been going to pizzerias around the state for years and this is by far the best NY-style pizza I have ever found. It is ridiculous to see low or one-star reviews for this place based on people looking for "crispy" or "crunchy crust" when what they are trying to find is a different style of pizza altogether: New Haven/Neapolitan (think Pepe's, Sally's, Da Legna, etc.). Paying by the slice, Illiano's variety is very broad and the slice-size is massive compared to other places. I highly recommend their margherita pizza and they also have some unique ones: the "big mac" is a must-try. To give you an idea of what a local fixture this place is in Middletown, we saw Andre Drummond himself (UConn/Philly 76ers) getting pizza here last summer.

The pizza especially is always amazing at Illianos , but I wanted to shout out to the manager Jay who was super patient and understanding when we were a little upset about an order mishap .. he listened and he even comped us on some food when he didn’t need to. Thanks so much!!

For me this place is the best pizzas ever The grandma pizza is a top notch. I ate other pizzas too. They were very tasty and good quality and they are thin slices too very professional and very humble people.

Food was great and the young gentleman at the counter was a sweetheart. My only feedback since I'm a restaurant manager myself, please talk to your counter staff about reading back customers CC info. We were sitting at a table and could hear every digit, CVV, and expiration date read back to the person on the phone he was speaking too. This day in age, people suck and you have to be extra careful

Went here with my daughter in law and granddaughter. Had the tuna melt and spaghetti and meatballs. Food was good and so was the service. The little one even got ice cream with her meal.

Always will love this place. In April of 2007 my late partner/soulmate took me here for our first "date". I had my 25mo old with me and he had his then I believe she was 7yr old daughter. Aside from it holding a very special place in my heart the pizza is amazing. The snowball and Grandma's pizza are my top 2 favorites and the garlic knots are amazing as well!!!

I had a pepperoni pizza , it’s my first time eating Illianos Pizza. I loved it. I loved the taste and it was hot and crispy and fresh. I did have a taste of the buffalo chicken pizza and I think I’ll order that next. It was outstanding. Will come here again for pizza and I’ll try other things…. lots of variety.

** An Unforgettable Pizza Experience** I recently had the pleasure of dining at Illiano's, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The outdoor space is cute and quiet, offering a serene atmosphere perfect for a relaxing meal. The gourmet pizzas here are the real stars of the show. Each one is crafted with care, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients and unique flavor combinations that truly set them apart. The Big Mac Pizza was a big hit among the teenagers in our group, delivering a fun and delicious twist on the classic burger. However, the highlight for me was the Margarita Pizza. It was nothing short of phenomenal, with a perfectly crispy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and fresh mozzarella that melted in my mouth. The balance of flavors was just right, making it one of the best pizzas I've ever tasted. Overall, Illiano's on Washington offers a delightful dining experience with outstanding pizzas and a charming picnic style outdoor setting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal.

Highly recommend! Came in to grab some slices and they were so yummy. Jay was incredibly kind to us and helpful to accommodate some special food needs we had. The buffalo chicken slice had chunks of blue cheese and was so flavorful. All 3 slices we got were delicious. Dying to try their Big Mac slices. The closest I’ve seen to nyc in terms of pizza by the slice. Slices were big and so yummy. Thanks so much!!! We will definitely be back!

I’m writing this while eating it. It was so good that I felt the actual need to stop what I’m doing and write it. This hot grinder is the cheeseburger grinder with added black olives. Very yummy and warm for the stomach which gives that good feeling of a nice hot meal that just gives you good feelings. I honestly have to say there was no one who would have changed anything about their meals. Fantastic!

Hands down, the BEST slice of pizza you've EVER had!!! Such a variety of pizza to choose from. Need lunch?! Don't think...go HERE!

Various types of pizza 🍕. Ordered the buffalo chicken; just enough heat, ALOT of chicken underneath and mixed into the cheese. Chicken fingers with BBQ were crispy, but not as juicy as expected

Great food! Staff was friendly! First time here and I was impressed by the pizza! I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and garlic knots. I was amazed on how much chicken was actually on my pizza! I think they put a whole layer of shredded chicken down! So many different pizzas to try at this restaurant! They all look amazing! They have pizza by the slice also if you want to just try something and not get a whole pie. I definitely will be back! Not your average pizza at this place!

My grandmother loves this place, She made it the number one pizza of all. And it was our 1st time there.

A little bit too expensive to me but it was really good. We ordered through the phone, the worker asked do we want the garlic bread but for some reason when we got home and checked it became cheese pizza😂. Maybe it was we mishearing.

My husband works one day a week in Middletown, so he has picked up pizza and/or chicken parm grinders and/or garlic knots. I order extra sauce on everything....and for last few times not only did not get it, but the chicken cutlet was dried out and just thrown on the roll. Tonight I opened the pizza box to find 4 slices of pizza on top of each other and three knots thrown in without sauce! How do u serve knots without sauce?! We don't mind spending good money on pizza but please be better!

I have good and bad days here and today was not good someone came out yelling because they wouldn't give him the other half of his order without seeing proof it was his witch is obvious it was since he already had half the food then I went to get a small meatlovers pizza and they tried to charge me for each toppings smh never again the only good thing about this is that you get free pizza while you wait from here smh is it worth it depends on who cooks so 👎 👎 👎

Not sure her name but the tall blonde CHILD with tattoos behind the counter should not be working there. The way she had treated the door dash driver in front of me and my husband was completely unnecessary. ILLIANOS was sold out of the order the door dash customer had ordered but somehow that was the drivers fault. I hope your cameras have sound and you can listen to that tape. Absolutely disgusting. 8/26 at 8:15pm.

Super disappointed. Extremely greasy to the point I was surprised the box mad it home. I pass by all the time. (Always busy) Guys at work were hyping the buffalo pizza up all day so I had to try it. I ordered a large buff chicken bacon pizza. (30 bucks$) pizza was very greasy and didn’t have that crispy crunch at all. Sorry to say it but. Not worth the hype
