Domenic's & Vinnie's Pizza - Killing it in Waterbury Area for 75+ Years

Restaurant Pizza Middlebury Old School

Jeff "jfood" Schlesinger

My latest excursion into the great CT pizza offerings took me to Middlebury, CT, north of I-84 to Dominic’s & Vinnie’s, who proudly proclaim, “we serve only one item: pizza, in all its various forms.”

Domenic’s & Vinnie’s is a family-owned destination that has been satisfying the greater Waterbury area at three different locations for over 75 years,. The original location in Waterbury was opened in 1949 and the family later expanded, first to Middlebury and subsequently to Southington. The restaurant’s recipe dates back to the owners’ roots in Castelpaganica, Italy in a province known particularly for its superb cuisine, with all sauces and doughs made fresh daily, as well as their house-made meatballs and sausage.

Nadia Blair has fond memories of being a passenger in her parent’s car driving from Katonah through the charming town of Ridgefield to go visit her grandparents in New Haven. She’d constantly bother her mom with “Why can’t we live there?” questions to be told that the reason is because it’s “too far away from the highway.” Spring ahead decades later and Nadia, along with her chef husband Aaron, don’t only live in Ridgefield, but they’ve opened a restaurant where southern eats meet roadside New England charm, named after Aaron’s mother, Florence.
