The Pelican Club - Darien

Stopped by to order pizza and they said they could not make any more pizzas. They were out of mozzarella cheese? Said all they had was wings but I wanted Pelican Pizza not Pelican Wings. Guess we'll never know what the pizza is like.

This little place is a jewel. We were traveling and didn't want fast food. It was a great find! It was on the back side (left of a Friendly's station. You could see the marsh and smell salt water sitting outside in the shade. They had pizzas, subs and salads all fresh ingredients and in some very tasty combination. Five of us ordered 5 different 10 inch pizza with salads and a drink for 60.00. Servers were polite and we were served surprisingly quickly after ordering. Pizzas were so large we could've ordered three. Go there if you get the chance.

Cute tiny hole in the wall. It's in the back of a friendly express but once inside and enjoying the food you wouldn't even know it. Simple with an industrial feel makes the small space have an edgy energy. Completely perfect for small causal groups that love food. The food is worth 5 stars! Pizza leans toward a Chicago style, with a thin and chewy crust. Toppings are not scarce, with the menu filled with classic topping to local seafood faves. Subs are great sizes with garlic buttered bread and wings that are full of flavor. This is a safe place for foodie adventures and will keep you coming back to try every adventure that's offered.

First the positives: The crust here is really good regardless of what you get. If you are getting a full pizza you are certainly getting a good and full experience. There are also several unique flavor combinations for their specialties. The negatives: pizza by the slice here is reheated from a base cheese pizza. It is only $6 for two regular size slices, but the reheating process obliterates a lot of the flavor of the base crust, cheese, and sauce. In my experience, you also don 't always get what is advertised either. In getting their Longboard slice oyster sauce, a key component that the menu says is on the specialty pizza, was missing. In asking for a custom slice akin to a margarita with just cheese, sauce, and dried basil (they didn 't have fresh) they added fresh tomato on top for some reason without saying anything. And in general anything with added cheese on a slice just looks a little sorry. That said, overall I would easily recommend this place to basically anyone who likes pizza, but I would tell them to be careful how you order. When it 's good it 's great and the crust carries any pie a long way. Stick to full pies instead of slices if you can because that 's where the flavor is... and maybe also feel the need to clarify exactly what is going to be on said pie.

Great gem just off the path of I-95. Ordered the Smokey and The Bandit based on the recommendation from the pizza maker. It was a great combination of sweet and spicy with peaches and jalapeños. Never had either on my pizza and now I 'm reconsidering all of my life choices, lol. They were extremely nice and offered to make a whole cheese pie just for a slice for my son. He gobbled it up and said it 's soooo good . Next road trip we will be making a stop here.
