Specialties

Kent Pizza Garden was born in 1970 from a couple’s passion to share authentic recipes from their family in Greece to locals residing in the Kent, CT area.

Kent Pizza Garden (KPG) offers a fantastic children’s menu along with family favorites like thin crust pizzas, crisp salads, homemade pasta dishes, succulent burgers, fresh seafood, grinders, cheesy calzones, and grilled delicacies. We actually use 3 different cheeses for our blend, press our own dough, and whip up the sauces from scratch! Portions are generous and we aim to delight with selfless service and a commitment to impress your senses. Indulge in great food while seated at comfortable booths, the bar, or our outdoor patio with a breathtaking view.

What makes KPG unique? We’re a family restaurant that has been in business under one owner continuously since 1970. Now that’s a commitment to excellence! Through the years, our kitchen has perfected dishes like the Pesto Pizza, Eggplant Parmesan, and house-​made wings. We know how to please here at Kent Pizza Garden, history has proven that. Let us prove to your palate that our kitchen has exactly what you’re craving. Let’s eat!

Business Owner

My father came to the states from Greece and opened a few restaurants that were very successful. People loved his personality and ability to make old dishes come to life with a few key ingredients and undeniable expertise. My husband and I fell in love with each other and the food industry so we grew this place from the ground up. Kent Pizza Garden is our home away from home and we feel as if we’re hanging out and cooking for our family friends every day. Come give our menu a taste, I’m sure it won’t disappoint! Enjoy.

Extremely friendly staff. They understand what you want exactly and the food is delicious. The place is very comfortable and clean. Had a nice lunch which I wont forget. Only the glasses are plastic.

Pizza is a little on the expensive side and pretty average. Haven’t eaten in yet, have only gotten take out. It wasn’t so terrible that I wouldn’t give them another chance. Hopefully the management checks Unilocal’s reviews and improves their pizza. Will update this review after I give them another shot.

Zero stars.
Worst service ever. Had to wait in line for 30 min to be even given a table. Called three different waitresses but no one cared to take the order. All other tables were diligently served before us. on asking why coffee wasn’t served the waitress refused to acknowledge us. We thought talking to the owner would help. But he yelled at us instead and told us pretty much to get lost. Please visit this place at your own risk and be ready for Terrible service, precalculated service tax and if you dare complain to the owner, he will not leave any stone unturned in humiliating you.

Went there in a group of about 8 twice in the last two Saturdays after hikes in the area. First time, service and food were OK. Second time, all bad. Sitting inside, we were one of only 2 tables occupied. Waitress was slow to come over, then clearly had a bad attitude from the moment we ordered drinks. She seemed annoyed that we asked for water in addition to drinks. She couldn’t hide her disdain while taking the food orders.
Re: food, the tap beer that we ordered was flat. The chicken parm dinner that a few of us ordered had overcooked pasta and watery sauce. The salads contained lettuce that had rotted ends. No complaints about the burgers.
We all went away with a negative feeling about this place. It’s a shame because it’s conveniently-​located in Kent and has plenty of seating. We will look elsewhere for our post-​hike group meals.
Date was Sat, 9⁄19.

Service is fine, but food is terrible. Pizza has a cakey and oily crust. Meatball topping is unseasoned and dry. Sauce is OK, but too much cheese. Go somewhere else. JP Giffords is awesome, but they were closed.

We were there the night before I wrote the review… visiting friends in Kent. You can see where we were sitting but the dead bug in the spider Web next to my seat… Booth overlooking the garden. The ledge was pretty gross. I took the picture.

Came here with 3 friends today for lunch on our way to Kent Falls. We were greeted by the bartender/​server telling the only other customer at the bar that she hoped someone else would come in because she didnt want to be there. We got the impression that we imposing on her– I think her name was Jade. Our food was ok but my one friend’s chicken gyro was very light on the chicken and heavy on the sauce and it tasted off. When she told our server she said «oh sorry» as she walked away while she rolled her eyes and shook her head. When my friend went up to pay– which I thought was weird he even had to do that seeing as we were sitting at the bar, he saw her rolling her eyes at another customer. Clearly Jade wanted to be anywhere else then at this restaurant helping the 5 whole customers that were bothering her sure hope someone else came into relieve her from her torture today. Too bad– cute town…
Yes Mary Ann it was on Monday the 27th. I really dislike writing negative reviews and I’m hoping it was just an off day. We would all love to return to Kent and give you another try sometimes.

Let’s cut to the chase… The food here is terrible.
The servers were pretty nice and ok about coming back and checking on us but… They could never make up for the horrible food. Came here with a group of five after a pleasant hike up the Kent Falls. We each ordered something different. Burger — fail. Chicken scarpiello — bigger fail. Sausage pizza — blek! Pizza margarita — not even worthy of a doggy bag. But seriously, how do you screw up a burger and pizzas??? Apparently the chicken fajita was not so bad but let’s just say the source is rather unreliable…
Beer ok. House wine ok. Sodas, meh…
We have determined that they almost have to try to get it this bad and yet, people were there; dining, laughing, acting like it wasn’t about to poison them. So maybe there are not very many options in this town???
Oh!!! Bathrooms were disgusting. Biggest fail.

Nice place. Not very busy while we were there for lunch. Service was okay. Veggie pizza was mediocre. Others had burgers they said were ‘alright’. Reasonably priced for the area. Casual atmosphere.

Recent trip to visit family in Kent landed us at this place since it was the only place I could find for pizza in this small town. I was really craving clams casino but, the menu did not reflect this item and I was disappointed. However, I did find clams-​fried clam strips (very juicy ones at that) on the menu and they were awesome and did not disappoint the craving (even though they were fried). We also had the carbonara pasta, very awesome tasting but, seemed a bit pricey. The pizza was decent but, nothing to brag about really.

Food is below par service is even worse. Went in for lunch with a friend the bartender a brunette woman was not only slow to serve us (took her 10 minutes to give us menus) she was also severely inappropriate. She was swearing loudly mid day with children in the restaurant she was also BRAGGING about being on probation she even went as far as to say loudly and behind the bar «the court tell me not to drink fuck the court im taking shots tonight» it was atrocious and I will never return! The pizza is awful the salad was soggy awful awful place! NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Agree with the three star rating. A local pizza place that thinks it’s heading for bigger things. Kept me alive.

Chicopee, MA
This is one of the more affordable and casual places to eat in town, which is why we ended up choosing it. We ended up eating on the patio which had nice views of a garden. The wait staff was really friendly but incredibly slow. It seemed as though they were understaffed for the workload. I noticed they were running a lot of pick up orders, a bar area, an inside and outside dining areas. I felt those of us sitting outdoors were forgotten.
The menu had a great variety along with gluten free options, pasta dishes and salads. I ended up getting a small margarita pizza. The crust was bland, dry and a little over cooked but the sauce had good flavor and the mozzarella was fresh.
I really want to give them a better rating but with the bland crust and slow staff I can only do 3 stars :(Sorry guys!

Ive actually become more impressed with this place over the years. For a small town, their pizza is good and their menu selections appeal to even the non-​italian food lovers who might visit. Theres a meat/​seafood/​poultry section but also some items with mexican flare (see sizzling chicken fajitas or southwestern pizza). Pasta dishes are generous and range from the heavier carbonara and alfredos to the lighter roaster broccoli and garlic or pesto choices. They have nice big salads for the veggies eaters, and your can opt for grilled salmon, steak, or chicken as a healthy option.
Servce is usually prompt, the bar is reasonably priced, and you will usually find this place pretty busy especially during the school year since its a favorite spot of many of the prep school kids in town. TVs in the bar can be set to pretty much any sports game. The owner is usually there and available, which is always nice to see. We usually sit at the bar and get some nachos or a buffalo chicken salad and a beer (going the classy route!). Beer on tap is nothing spectacular, but they have the old stanby’s.
Definitely stop in if you want a good meal at a good price.

We enjoyed the pizza. Service was very good at this weekday lunch time. Not too many people. We would come here again.

I came here prior to hiking the AT, a portion of which is located nearby. The waitress seemed like she’d rather be anywhere else, but the food was overall not bad. A friend ordered the crispy chicken salad, which he said was not great, but not bad. Just overall meh…

Nothing good about this place
The waiting staff is aloof and very slow, they aren’t helpful and don’t care about the customers
The food is ok at best and is over priced for the quality.
Try docs if you want Italian, it only slightly more expensive, but definitely worth the extra few dollars

I’ve been eating pizza here on-​and-​off since 1976. The quality has never been worse than today. Dried out crust, tasteless toppings, not enough cheese. Looks like the new owners are trying to cut corners and quality is suffering badly. It’s time for the Pizza Garden to get some competition, right now they’re the only game in town– and their game is pretty bad.

What exactly is a pizza garden anyway? This place is actually one of the few places in the town of Kent that is far from bearing a resemblance to anything garden. It is in a parking lot, again, one of the few in Kent.
Anyplace that has pizza in it’s name should have decent pizza. Otherwise it would have gotten 3, maybe.
If it was deemed a diner I would have allowed a reprieve. It would fall under the category of a place that serves pizza to merely satisfy the bourgeois whom, without proper pizza-​accumen, order it there.
This place is a strange place. A typical New England Greek owned spot that tries to push pizza in a town that has no conventional pizzeria when, in actuality, is only a diner.
