Damenzo’s Pizza

Damenzo's is a great neighborhood place to grab some food to go or sit in their surprisingly elegant bar/dining room. Good food, great pizza, great people. Great addition to Bridgeport.

Good food just seemed a bit unorganized on the service side. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that someone called in sick. Food was good.

I Love this place. The food is awesome, they make it quickly. Large portions of food for the price.

I always enjoyed the pizza from the original Damenzo’s on Taylor St so I was thrilled to have one open within walking distance.
They did a beautiful job creating the space here. One side for carry-out and one side for the bar and sit down dining. We were told the beautiful bar is from the legendary former La Luce restaurant on Lake St and the marble that makes up the table tops is from the old Marshall Fields. I like the history of that and it looks great. There’s an excellent selection of beers on tap including my favorite, Bell’s Two Hearted Ale.

For me the star is the thin crust pizza, we’ve had it many times since they’ve opened and it hasn’t disappointed us once. I love it! It’s delicious. We usually get a sausage, pepper and onion or a spinach and onion. I always ask for the spinach and onion well done wherever I order one from because pizza with only veggies tend to come under cooked in my opinion. It definitely compares favorably to other neighborhood pizza spots. The sauce is slightly sweet with good fennel flavor and there’s ample cheese. The sausage is very tasty they don’t skimp on the toppings.

Haven’t tried much if the other food but did have a chicken burrito and a couple of steak tacos and thought they were pretty good. Have had the Tiramisu for dessert and found it creamy and delicious and reasonably priced.

The service has always been prompt and friendly. I’m glad they’re here and I hope they’re here for a long, long time!

My husband and I both had pork vesuvio which was very good. Service staff was friendly and helpful when we asked for menu suggestion. Would recommend. Also had beef sandwiches on a previous visit and those were very good.
