I had high hopes for this place, having moved to East Norwalk from Philadelphia. The kale salad was 100% Brussels sprouts. It was like eating a pint of them straight out of a blender. The arugula and prosciutto pizza was cold and hard with the arugula and prosciutto falling off before I could get it to my mouth. I ended up eating the toppings as a salad and left the pizza uneaten. The waitress was kind enough to discount the meal by 25%. She was the best thing they had going at this restaurant. - Tom Welsh

Unique options include the savory **Potato Pie** ($23.00) with fontina, sliced potatoes, and bacon, the internationally inspired **Pastor** ($22.00) with marinated pork and grilled pineapple, and the New Haven-style tribute, **The Bruce** ($26.00), a renowned white clam pie. Even those seeking lighter options will find their appetite satisfied with specialty creations like the **Salad Pie** ($19.00) and a dedicated section of fresh, vibrant salads such as the **TUSCAN KALE** ($17.00) and **BELGIAN CAESAR** ($17.00).

Beyond the pizza, Magic 5 Pie Co. offers a diverse menu of appetizers, "Crocks, Cast Irons & Cazuelas," and desserts, ensuring a comprehensive dining experience.
