8 Fifty Wood Fired Pizza

As crazy as it sounds most places do not fill up their martini glasses. This Cosmo was amazing. Great staff great place. A must try. 5 stars for sure.

I live in Middlebury and this is the first time I went to this restaurant. Generally, it was very good. Apparently they have expanded the space in recent times and have installed a very large bar with high tops. I had the Jagger pizza with vodka sauce, cherry tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. It was really quite delicious and I believe it was made in the Napoletana style. Simple fresh ingredients, very thin crust, slightly burnt edges, and a little chewy as it should be. The waiter was very friendly and helpful, albeit a little inexperienced. I will definitely come back and try other menu items.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE- please get the Festive Salad next time you go. It is amazing. I have gotten it in the restaurant, as well as to go and it is ALWAYS fresh- always beautifully presented. Always consistent. The staff here is also wonderful. They are attentive, fast and extremely knowledgeable. The dining room is beautiful as well. Great atmosphere. Great wine, and awesome people :)

8Fifty is under new ownership, and the restaurant now offers much more than pizza. Their wings are cooked in the wood-fired oven and have a great crisp to them, with the sauce turning into a nice glaze from heat. Their Buffalo sauce is on the sweeter side and pairs nicely with the Mac and cheese. The garlic bites are the softest I think I’ve ever had and are dangerously addictive! The margherita pizza and the spinach and artichoke special pizza were both good. Our one critique on the food is that we think the crust or sauce could be a bit more flavorful, but the crust has a great crisp and our pies were charred perfectly. I have seen them come out darker than ours though, so if you don’t like char I definitely recommend asking for a lighter bake. They’ve expanded and have much more seating than they used to, as well as a full bar. In our experience the pizzas do take a while to come out, but the rest of the food came out fairly quickly. We’re looking forward to coming in for brunch on a weekend!

Great menu, service, food, drinks, etc… a go to for us for dinner and when we have small gatherings/celebrations. Highly recommended. Try the vodka penne or the Jagger pizza with the vodka sauce. Best vodka sauce I have ever had!
