About This Place

Family Pizza Restaurant & Grill of Colchester is a beloved local gem that masterfully blends the comforting flavors of classic American, Italian, and breakfast fare into a welcoming dining experience. Located conveniently on 296 S Main St, this family-owned eatery has earned a loyal following not just for its delicious food but also for its warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.

Their menu is a treasure trove for food lovers, offering everything from hearty breakfasts to satisfying dinners and indulgent desserts. Start your day with their standout Eggs Benedict or the Irish Benedict, both brimming with perfectly poached eggs and rich hollandaise sauce. For lunch or dinner, indulge in the Fried Seafood Platter, a generous portion of crispy, golden seafood that’s been praised as some of the best around. Pizza enthusiasts will delight in signature pies like the 14" BBQ Chicken, bursting with smoky barbecue sauce and tender chicken, or the unique Baked Potato pizza topped with sliced potatoes, bacon, and broccoli layered over melted mozzarella. Their Five Cheese pizza and Pepperoni classic never fail to satisfy cravings for rich, cheesy goodness.

If pasta is what calls to you, their Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo or the savory Chicken Parmigiana served atop your choice of pasta are guaranteed crowd-pleasers, each plate perfectly balanced with house-made dressings and fresh bread. The Greek Salad with Tuna and fresh Caesar Salad add refreshing options, while their hearty Club Sandwich or Philly Steak Sub pack all the bold, satisfying flavors you’d expect from an exceptional American diner.

What truly makes Family Pizza Restaurant & Grill stand out is the attention to detail and genuine care permeating every dish and every interaction. Customer reviews speak volumes: one guest raves about the “amazing fried mozzarella squares” and a “big beautiful porch perfect for enjoying a breeze.” Another highlights the best seafood platter they’ve had, accompanied by large, flavorful omelets and burgers meant to feed two hungry diners. The soup of the day, like a rich barley and beef stew, evokes memories of home-cooked comfort, capturing the soul of the kitchen’s craft. Consistently praised is the friendly, attentive staff who never fail to make you feel welcome, and pristine clean facilities add to the overall positive experience.

The dining ambiance effortlessly balances vibrant family energy with a relaxed, friendly vibe perfect for any meal—be it a casual breakfast outing, a hearty lunch, or a cozy dinner gathering. Freshness shines through in every bite, from the stack of carrot cake to the endless cheesecake varieties like Blueberry Cream or decadent Chocolate Ganache.

    The place is a big pizza place. There's a big beautiful porch where they take windows out and you get a great breeze. The staff is very friendly even though they put mayo on my grinder. Their mozzarella squares are amazing. The bathroom was clean !! Great job to the staff.

    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and dessert Family pizza restaurant & grill of Colchester has delicious offerings for every meal. Got the seafood platter for takeout and it was delicious and probably the best seafood platter we have ever had. Their desserts are fresh and delicious. The bacon and American cheese omelet was huge and extremely tasty. The burger was huge and could feed two people. We love family pizza restaurant & grill of Colchester.

    Omg! I needed a soup and the soup of the day was barley and beef! Unbelievable! Full of chunks of tender beef, vegetables and barley cooked down to perfection. One could order a bowl of that and make it a full meal. I had already ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a glass of Mediterranean red they had on the special little table menu. Perfect pairing! I will definitely be back. So glad I discovered this place. The chef knows how to cook. Now I understand why the parking lot was packed. The wait staff is so unbelievably friendly, too. Ten out of ten!!!!!!

    For a family owned, Greek pizza spot, it's our go to for pan pizza. Their party pizzas are the best around! They do a great job and it's always right. The rueben and breakfast are also worth trying.
