Lena's First and Last Pizzeria

This place has great slices in a wide variety of styles and flavors, as well as excellent stromboli, calzones and soups. Choose your slice, they will put in the oven to heat it up for you, and you are good to go. You can also get sauce heaped on it or in a side dish to go. The meat lover’s thick slice cost about $5 and will last you for the day. They also have thin crust and stuffed pizza slices. It is my favorite pizza place in Hartford.

This little gem is right on the Area 16 corner of Main and Stoddard. They have daily lunch specials for $8. You get an entre such as Swedish Meatballs, fresh carved turkey, meat and cheese lasanga, sheppard's pie, stuffed pork, and two sides. The menu changes daily. You can pick up a monthly calender listing the choices. They also have excellent homemade pizza for $2 a slice and deli sandwiches made with fresh baked bread. Very delicious food.

Here's the shepard's pie with a double side of green beans.



You also get a buttered fresh made Portugese roll. Here's roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy and mixed vegetables.
