    ❤❤❤Thank you for your kind words and amazing review. The owner is truly an artist and puts his heart and soul in every pizza he makes. The Rendezvous oven actually turned 136 y/o this past March. The Vous Crew sweat their lives away daily to provide the best pizza the oven will allow. Your review was on point: 1 man, 1 oven, 1 list, 100% love. Call ahead people! This is no joke. Much love and thank you for visiting The Little Rendezvous in Meriden CT ❤️❤️❤️

    Thanks for your reviews I live in CT too. My friend and I took the plunge at The Little Rendevous and it was so disappointing. I ordered pepperoni and mushroom (we ordered in person) and left for an hours and a half (they told me 1 hour 45 minute wait) and it ended up,being 2 hours,
    Hey Imdomt mind waiting for amazing pizza! My order is up and my friend and I go to grab a slice or our large pie and it’s peppers and mushroom, not pepperoni and mushroom. My friend (who is very shy usually) told me she heard me clearly say pepperoni not peppers.
    Ugh. At this point we are starving and don’t want to wait 2 hours again for a pizza. So we dove in. Honestly.. It was maybe a 7 out of 10. The peppers were kinda slimy and the cheese would slide off the pizza.
    Maybe I’ll go back and just get a cheese but I was very disappointed. Defintely have had much better.
