Hawthorne's is a GoTo for 9" and pasta. All items tasted delicious as usual (NY Cheesecake especially creamy) dasher delays left my food warm.
I tried the Personal Pan Pizza for change. Gooey cheesy delight, but I'll stick with the thin crust. the bread was quite thick as is the style, but although the sides were crispy / hard, I preferred a crispy bottom too, thoroughly toasted. Fettucini Alfredo was perfect. it's a larger serving- nearly 2. Delivered; I can add protein 4 three meals. Tip: seems likely that Hawthorne's alfredo includes bechamel; an indulgent sauce from France, which is applied here liberally, YUM.
The Plate of Meatballs Parmesan; slightly soft and very flavorful, making another meal with my pasta.
Highly recommend. I have dined in and sat outside. you got to do it on a great day-it was fabulous!
thank you Hawthorne for being a consistently excellent restaurant I love to come back to!

the 9 inch pizzas are a waste of money. barely any cheese. and barely any toppings. I would stick with larger pizzas . the Mozzarella Sticks were def not restaurant quality. I've had better ones from frozen section and the ceaser salad wasnt good quality either.

Cheese pizza was literally the best pizza I've ever had. Been to a lot of places in new haven, NYC, Chicago and everywhere and this was by far the best. Garlic knots were amazing as well, came with pieces of garlic and oil all over them (which I'm a garlic slut). Cannolis were great but I couldn't see the presentation in the box as I dropped them on the way in the door. 10/10

ordered at 650pm, wasn't ready until after 815pm.
Cannoli Plate was a joke... the 3 combined were barely the size of a decent cannoli, and 2 of the 3 had no filling in the middle.
of the 4 pizza slices, 2 had barelybany pepperoni on them.
used to love this place, won't order from them again. should not be allowed to use "NY" in their name... new york would never produce this kind of garbage.

Just a slice bussin not to hot with a hint of savory. Too good. Just small for the price. Flavor worth it though
