Best pizza in Branford! We dine at Capones frequently or get take out on occasion and have never had a bad meal or pizza! First let me say if you don’t like New Haven style pizza then it’s not for you! It’s perfectly thin, proportioned and charred on the crust! Delicious. Tonight we got a regular pepperoni and the Capones special without mushrooms. My other favorite is the mikes hot honey special. They have cauliflower crust available to order as well. Also ordered the fried dough fingers which you can’t go wrong with. Let me also say, don’t sleep on their meals! My favorite entree is the escarole special. It’s amazing and my husband loves the pesto pasta! The entrees even come with garlic knots! Seriously it’s a favorite spot of ours. The owner is the nicest guy as well. If you’re in the neighborhood, give it a try!

One of the best buffalo chicken pizzas that I've had. Also, their gluten free pizza is really good which I cannot say about most pizza places. Overall, solid New Haven style pizza from this place.

I had the best time here! Came in for a quick business trip and popped in since it was close to the hotel & had great ratings! They did not disappoint! Service was AMAZING! Bartenders are PHENOMENAL! Ended the night hanging with the owner and one of their frequent customers Jen & her adorable dog Izzy! Escarole & bean pizza was delicious! Can’t wait to come back again!

I just picked up my take out from Capone's in Branford. I have trouble finding a great salad and i gave up for the longest time! But today with the heat i wanted something cool. I ordered the Healthy Choice salad and oh my goodness. The container is packed full and so fresh. I love the dressing! - Creamy Italian. The only next best thing would be adding fries to the salad ;) I'm from the Pittsburgh area, haha...If you know, you know!
