This city has some great pizza, which is why I am so confused regarding the love people have for this particular one. I hear the calzones are good, but I found the crust of the pizza to be bland, the cheese to be rubbery and the sauce very pasty. To add insult to injury, the mushrooms were obviously canned and, therefore, waterlogged.
Maybe I will try a calzone in the future, but certainly not the near future.
I do have to say that the atmosphere was very nice. Although it was loud, it was hip and inviting.
Almost five stars. A shout out goes to Clifton Pizza for being what I want in a pizzeria! When I think pizzeria, I think of a dark place that has a bar feel. Clifton is that. The lighting, the decor, the live music, and the employees all pitch in to give this restaurant the perfect aesthetic. I also enjoyed the helpful and personable service. I felt like I was ordering from a friend of the family that actually had my best interest in mind. The pizza was good, but lacked personality. Nothing about the pizza was interesting or "one of a kind," but it is tasty enough to merit  4 stars. Thank you Clifton for upholding my pizzeria expectations!
Review Source:Clifton's Pizza Co. was given to me as a suggestion by a close friend with whom I did some fine dining.
Fine is not what I would consider to be the interior of the place. But rest-assured it is very comfortable. There is an area for live music, which was a nice touch on my visit; and an area that was more for bigger groups and quiet families. Dimly lit, this place knows how to present your pizza in the most dreamy ways.
I had the deluxe veggie, which has been mentioned before, and it was fantastic. They slather on the right amount of toppings and nothing feels too overpowered. The brews were cold and tasty of course. The prices are fitting for the pizza and fare you're getting, so don't worry about value.
Go for the rustic feel of a tried and true pizza place. There is a bit of history in the air and it fits right into the neighborhood it calls home.
Ten years after going to Clifton's regularly for live music on the weekends, I was reintroduced by a co-worker during lunch. Â The Calzone is so big it fed me at lunch, my wife for dinner, and me again as a late-night snack. Â
It is amazing to see that this place has not "sold out" by jacking up their prices, shrinking serving sizes, and opening several locations around town.
Clifton's, for the sake of everything holy, please don't change.
found this place on a whim through a co-worker. their lasagna is to die for. best lasagna i've had in a restaurant, ever. they're quick with delivery orders and not too bad with orders in-house.
my friends ordered bruschetta and said it had way too much garlic. that's the only complaint i've hard about their food, though.
not a big place on atmosphere. went last night and there was a singer who was pretty good but was more of background music. love this place and can't wait to go back.
Smile! Seriously - say cheese! The pizza is ooey, gooey goodness. If you want healthy - don't go. If you aren't a cheese loooover - don't go. We really enjoyed the Chicken Alfredo with spinach added. Kinda thin crust, crispy on the edges, and not skimpy on the toppings, but not falling off the slices either. I was impressed that one order of breadsticks and a small pizza fed 3 of us. (One light eater) 23 bucks including a coke.
You for real HAVE to get the breadsticks. Really unique and tasty. They are a good 10 inches long and an order is 2. (Plenty for 4 folks) Flaky, buttery, garlicky soft yet just crisp enough on the outside. Love them.
Solid place, super chill atmosphere and a pretty killer deck.
This place makes me think of Louisville, KY. Â Unfortunately, it's not a good thing. Â An Italian pizza joint, Clifton's is dungy, depressing, and overall just a downer. Â
The pizza is nothing that I'll remember. Â I'm surprised that I remembered to write the review the next day. Â
How does this place avoid the 2-star rating? Â Well, the marinara sauce is great. Â The service was much better than average, and they had $8.75 pitchers of solid draft beer.
Not an overall avoid, but definitely could use a facelift. Â I have the same feelings about this restaurant that I do about Louisville. Â Not for me, but not too bad either.
If you're looking for atmosphere than this isn't the place, but if you're looking for the best calzones in Louisville than you'll love it. I've had their pizza and calzones and I keep going back for the calzones. They're huge!! I usually eat half and then take the other half home. The crust is perfect and the toppings inside are plentiful.
If you stop in on a weekend you'll be treated with music from some of Louisville's best.
I can't believe I have not reviewed this place yet. Â
The best pizza in the city. Â Everytime I go out to eat when I go back home, I think do I want Clifton's or something else. Â I have been going here for years, decades even, and the place has never disappointed. Â
They have a good beer selection, and a great marinara sauce. Â There is music sometimes, which is usually pretty good, although eclectic and leaning toward eccentric.
Wow, no reviews yet? Well let me be the first to tell you that this "little" neighborhood joint had the best pizza in the city. Most people will point you towards Wick's, but those people are lying to you. In fact, they probably just told you that so you wouldn't crowd Clifton's up while they were eating. Not very good friends if you ask me.
