Nice, small pizzeria. Seating outside, small dining area inside. Excellent thin crusted pizza cooked with a nice crispy crust. Toppings were excellent and not skimpy. This and Pepe's pizza is the only pizza I eat.

If you are in the mood for pizza and willing to pick it up there is no place better in Newtown. Try their Tuscan or Stern Special and you may actually give up pepperoni or sausage pizzas. Just remember you come here for their pizza, everything else is standard Italian fare.

Located on rte 25 in Newtown, you could easily drive by not noticing this inconspicuous restaurant. Looks more like a house than a business, but don't be fooled, they have some great food here. Pay attention! I worked in Newtown until I retired a few years back. The company I worked for alway used Carminuccios's to cater some of our... More

Very good Italian style, thin crust pizza. Small seating area, not amenable to large groups (i.e. the soccer team), although they have an outdoor patio that could accommodate bigger groups. A go-to place for pizza.

Depending on who the pizza chef is on any particular night, one can get a very good pizza or a mediocre one. This place is popular in the town, and if the sports leagues are in for the night, the wait is unreasonable.

The place is small. Not really sure if there's a wait staff. But there's a tip jar?? You order at the counter and then if there's a seat you take one. Then you get your own beverage and plasticware and napkins. Salad is iceberg and some fixins. Franco's down the road is just as good and a little more attentive... More

They have been recognized nationally and state wide - and it is well deserved. Our family is divided but my older son and wife prefer the crust at Country Pizza in Stepney - but we are unanimous that the quality and quantity of toppings (and sauce)- esp their Pepperoni is unbeatable. Their sub sandwiches esp the Italian are awesome too.
