About Good Old Days Pizza & Cocktail Den

Located at 19 Main St, Newtown, CT 06470, USA, Good Old Days Pizza & Cocktail Den, despite the platform category of "Chinese Restaurant," is a highly recommended spot known for its distinct pizza styles and exceptional cocktail program.

The atmosphere is described as "really cool" with a "dark cozy" vibe, drawing comparisons to the Dew Drop Inn in Derby. It's considered a neat place to hang out with friends.

A key feature of Good Old Days is their pizza. While they offer pan pizza, which one reviewer absolutely loves, they are particularly praised for their less common Sicilian-style (square, thick crust) and crispy crust pizzas, a style that one NYC native found delicious and unique. The toppings and flavors are also highlighted as delicious. A visually appealing and tasty appetizer mentioned is their "ricotta kisses."

Beyond pizza, Good Old Days boasts an outstanding cocktail program, considered among the best encountered by one reviewer. They are noted for successfully combining excellent pizza with "killer mixology." An example of their creative cocktails is the "G.O.D.s mai tai 3.0" featuring cachaca & mezcal. For dessert, they offer a house-made choco-taco dipped in dark chocolate.

While the overall experience is highly positive, one reviewer mentioned that on a Friday night, the live duet music, combined with a packed venue and hard surfaces, made the noise level very high, making conversation difficult. They suggested that adding some sound absorption panels could further enhance the experience.

Overall, Good Old Days Pizza & Cocktail Den offers a unique combination of delicious and uncommon pizza styles, creative cocktails, and a cool atmosphere. If you're in the Newtown, CT area and looking for a place with character, great pizza, and exceptional drinks, you can contact them at (203) 491-2920 or +1 203-491-2920 to learn more.

Such a cool place! I ordered the French Onion pie, which was very good! All their pizzas are pan pizzas, which I absolutely love (don't get me wrong, NH-style is great but not superior to any other pizza style). I had a chance to talk to the pizza guys, who were very kind and fielded a bunch of my weird questions about their ovens, prep, etc. The atmosphere was really cool - a neat place to hangout with friends. It has the same kind of dark cozy atmosphere as the Dew Drop Inn in Derby, if you're familiar. Highly recomended!!

Been back here a few times and it is AWESOME! Because - they have Sicilian style (square, thick crust) and crunchy, which is uncommon. I grew up in NYC and while you could certainly find this style, it typically did not have crispy crust. The toppings and flavors are delicious. In the photo, you will see their really cool ricotta kisses - a treat for the eyes and palate. Their cocktail program is among the best we've encountered. There are few places that combine outstanding pizza with killer mixology - G.O.D. does the spirit world justice! One of the photos shows the G.O.D.s mai tai 3.0 - cachaca & mezcal - are you kidding?! Desert - House-made choco-taco, dipped in dark chocolate. Oh yeah! The only comment I have for the owners: Friday night, there was a duet playing which is a great add to an evening but the din was deafening! The place was packed and with the music, it was impossible to carry on a conversation. The acoustics are hard - below grade with plenty of hard, reflective surfaces. Would be even more awesome with some absorption/diffuser panels tacked up.

An absolute treat.Cocktails on point, pizza amazing....If I was going to the chair Bikini bod would be on my requested food items... So good. if you haven't been here you should. The wait can be long, but if you sneak upstairs for a decadent cocktail it makes the wait manageable. Don't miss this absolute gem.

Got the Bikini Bod. One of the best pizzas I've ever had. The combination of the ricotta and sesame seeds and honey almost give a bagel flavor and the crust is absolutely perfect, crispy and crunchy in all the right places.

We had always heard great things about Good Old Days and their French onion pizza specifically, but WOW. We were beyond impressed! I think it’s great that they have a more limited menu focused on the pizza so that they can master what they do well. Loved the vibe - it was cozy but eclectic. Staff was great! We warmed up here after a night at the igloos at the nearby winery, so it really hit the spot. We’ll be back because the French onion is in the top 5 best speciality pizzas I’ve had in CT!
