“This is the best Italian restaurant in the area. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is just so kind. Every time we come here we feel so welcomed and well taken care of. Truly love supporting this business and so glad we found it when we moved here!“
“I’ve probably gone here 100+ times in the last 5-10 years whenever I’m in the area. Every time I order the Chicken Parm Sandwich. Consistently on point. Loaded with Parm so big plus if you love cheese. The owner and service has always been extremely friendly and accommodating. My favorite takeout Italian in the area.“
“We were passing through Chester and needed something quick to eat that wasn't from a coffee shop or Wendy's. Bella's sign caught my attention and there was a parking spot right out front, it was meant to be. We ordered a couple of slices and enjoyed them by the window with a soccer game on TV. It was a week before Christmas and they were busy working on catering orders it seemed. I'd stop here for a slice again. It tasted good, the seat was comfortable and the staff was friendly, that's all you could really ask for at a pizza place I think.“
“This is one of our favorite go to places. The staff is always friendly and attentive. There is usually no wait to be seated. We have many favorites but the pizza is at the top of our list. The crust is soft and there is plenty of cheese. We love the fresh bread and oil to dip it in that they bring when you first sit down. The bolognese sauce is some of the best that we have ever had. Pasta is always cooked perfectly. Some of the best wings as well. Crispy and flavorful. There are always specials on the weekends and they have a large selection of beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. The cannoli are great and the mocha cappuccino is a must. We do wish they would bring back their bruschetta. It was delicious!“
“Claude & Joe Branda are amazingThey’re accommodating with last minute reservations even when their books are full.Their staff is amazing for the big parties & for the small tables - lot of local kids - which is great they support the local community.I live in nyc & I know the food I get at brandas is probably better than what I get in the city.Love having family gather there - & the food is out of this world.It’s BYOB which is also niceDon’t miss out on the shrimp with garlic sauce“
“Lived here over 5 years and never checked this place out. My daughter and I went for a quick bite tonight. The pizza was delicious! And everyone was so warm and friendly! I'm from NY and I'm picky about my pizza! Definitely go check them out!!“
“I stopped by here for lunch while working. I’m not from this area but by the grace of god happened to stumble upon this gem. Best chicken bacon ranch pizza I’ve ever had. I kinda knew walking in, this pizza was going to slap after meeting the staff. They were also very polite. 10/10 “
“Do you like authentic thin crust Italian pie? I do! This is why I love their pizza. I love the bubble in the crust with just the right amount of cheese to sauce ratio. I always ask for very little cheese on my Margherita pizza and more sauce. They get it perfect every time. I liked it better than the pie I had in Naples.“
“Heading to Hopatcong State Park and my husband remembered this little pizza place made excellent pizza. He brought out 3 slices. I'm from NY, my mom is from Brooklyn, we know pizza. I have to say, this pizza tastes authentic homemade; especially the crust. And good mozzarella too! I do not typically like sweet tomatoes sauce, but this one was spot on. Will definitely be back!“
“I recently hosted a baby shower for my daughter and I was over joyed with the sheet cake Gian Carlo's Bakery made for us! I selected a white cake with the raspberry mousse filling, which was delicious. Not only was the fresh cake delicious, the decorating was superior and beautiful; while captured everything I wanted; we had them add a pair of fondant pink shoes (I provided via etsy) for the final touch! Thank you Gian Carlos Bakery for making our celebration sweet and delicious!“
“Mondo is a nice spot to grab a few slices or to have dinner at. Everyone inside is super friendly and food comes out hot and good.Pizza is top notch and worth a trip over here to grab a pie or 2. After being tortured in Fl for a few years it’s good to be back having good pizza again.“
“Service was quick, attentive, personally attentive and professional.Food was delicious. I recommend their bruschetta, the homemade bread was amazing. Great balance with the balsalmic vinegar, exceptional taste.We can't wait to comeback and see the new dining room once construction is complete.Parking: Depending upon the time of day, parking can be a challenge. There was plenty of spots in front on the street at 4:30 pm on a Tuesday.“
“Decent place with a bar and dining area. Authentic Italian food and ambiance. The deep dish pizza was good but our sea food was not fresh. The service was above and beyond. 12" deep dish is enough for 4 people. It is a budget friendly place and plenty of parking available.“
“I absolutely *love* this place. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I never miss an opportunity to come back. The food is fantastic; that's a given. What makes it more special is the people. Vito and his crew treat you like family. That term gets tossed around too much, and this is the one location that actually does it. They take extra special care of my father, who is a fixture there now. Knowing that he has friends here that care about him... there's just no replacing that. Please stop by and try it out. Get to know the kind, considerate, and professional staff that makes gems like this so rare.“
“There's are times you're looking for, a great place,for a place to eat,good, Italian food, "especially." Take out. And "your, so dam tired to cook'! LOL...YOU look up,a good place,to order from, not thinking,that there's an excellent place, in your naboborhood !, An it's "Sal"s Pizzeria" in stanhope.I tried all the others, and Sals, is the one that stands out,above the others, The pizza has the,Great taste,of fresh ingredients.on it, and the home made tomato sauce.that also make it so great.That the others are missing.That makes Sal"s stand out. Being italian, I look for that.All his dinners are great also.I tryed them all. Each dinner he has on his menu, ther all great and, come,with a fresh salad, great warm fresh italian bread.also.I get it delivered to my house,It is still hot! Not warm or cold, like outhers. I recommend "Sal"Pizzeria. It's great, and it right in my naboborhood. Ps. When you call to order and deliver food,there is no rush on the phone. And when your food arrives, there never been, you never,got the right food or not,I have never got a wrong order. It's always spot on.AND ITS HOT..Wheelchair accessibility: I'm disabled,that a big yes.he has accessibility.“
“I started writing this big, long and detailed review/ description of this place, and about 3 paragraphs in, I decided 1) no one has the time to read a story like that but 2) and really more importantly, this restaurant, this specific location in particular, is LEGIT.From the 1st time I tried it, to each and every time since, quality, delicious food made with top shelf ingredients. I'll sum it up by saying this, and you other foodies out there will know right away what I mean.How many times do you get chicken from a pizza place, and it's the rubbery chicken flap they get from a restaurant depot in bulk to save money?? More often that not right? Then, once in a while, you get a pizzeria where you unexpectedly bite into a chicken dish, and it's a nice, thick, juicy piece of actual chicken, and you're literally like "whoa, that's delicious" yeah, that's this place, but with everything“
“The gentleman at the counter knew the customers by name and vice versa. I ordered an x-large pie to go, grabbed a Coke and tried a slice on the ride home. WOW....this pizza is exceptional! Friendly staff. Clean and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back. If you haven't tried them, do yourself a favor. You wont be disappointed. If you like pizza, this place is for you. Wish I ordered two.“
“The food, service, and ambiance here are really good!I love the blackened chicken sandwich and the caprese pastaThe waiters are very nice and friendlyThe restaurant is well-lit – it isn’t too bright, but it isn’t too dim eitherThe hot sauce and the bread with marinara sauce are also good hereVegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available“
“Spotless and extremely clean. The gentlemen behind the counter were very kind and courteous. It's a small dinning area, but it's enough space for about 12-14 people to eat comfortably. The pizza is excellent, the prices are even better. I'm from NY and I struggle finding good Pizza outside of NY. This place is a really good place to go for great service and great pizza at an affordable price.Parking: It's in a mall setting, so there is a huge parking lot!“
“Welcoming staff and the owner is always hands on.Cozy atmosphere with a bar. Food comes out hot. Live music on Fridays. We have been several times and Im hoping they address my one peeve. Though I appreciate cleanliness, the smell of whatever product they are using is so strong it lingers the entire meal. Go to a product not so toxic and scented so we can enjoy the food w/o the oder.“
“Our family discovered Dante's in 1993. Tommy and I enjoy going for dinner, but our family has catered so many parties there; most recently our granddaughter Aria's Christening on 2/17/24. We have catered our younger daughter Alex's communion, our Michelle's bridal shower, my Mom's 90th birthday and my 65th birthday there three years ago. Lisa has always gone above and beyond, and especially working w/Michelle who lives out of state; making Aria's christening perfect! We can't thank her and her staff enough for making my granddaughter's Christening fabulous on Saturday! The Vitale and Nolan Families“
“This place is excellent . In the center of Netcong and there pizza and dinners are excellent always . The service is great and the staff is very friendly. It’s worth the drive from where we live driving half hour for great Italian food . If you’re looking for a great Italian pizzeria & restaurant run by Italians this is the place to go. Food is always good !“
“Excellent restaurant with high quality food and daily specials. Nice variety of mixed drinks with a cozy bar. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere with nice clean decor. Ask for Heidi when you go!! She was an attentive and outgoing waitress. The bar pie is the best in the area!!! Looking forward to making this restaurant our go to place!“
“Owners are friendly and always nice, especially to the little toddlers. Pizza is good, as well as their other dishes including salads. Small and quaint atmosphere with several tables. Service is great.Parking: It's in a mini-mall so always available parking.Kid-friendliness: They love the little ones. ?“
“Terranova Pizzeria nailed it! The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. From order to delivery, everything was smooth. They made our event deliciously memorable. Highly recommend for hassle-free and delicious catering!If you're looking to elevate your catering experience to new heights, they are the undisputed choice. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you, and your guests will be talking about it long after the event concludes. I wholeheartedly recommend Terranova Pizzeria for anyone in search of culinary excellence and exceptional service.Thank you, Pietro Terranova, for making our Ugly Sweater Party an unforgettable culinary masterpiece!“
“Lovely little pizza place. Stumbled on this place on a Sunday afternoon drive. Had 2 different pizzas, both were outstanding. Place is immaculate. You can see how much care and pride these folks take in presenting delicious food. We’ll be back!“
“I love their sauce! One of my favorite pizzas in the area. My bf and I also love their tortellini carbonara and one meal is more than enough for us to split! Their chicken wings are good too. And if you’re looking for something a little different, try any one of their sandwiches (hot or cold) on a panini. You won’t be sorry. I enjoy the cheesesteak panini.“
“Absolutely adore the owners . Food is literally Manhattan quality gourmet food to me . That's where I'm originally from . Lol . The owner is amazing hands on , he cooks he is fully hands on with each customer ALWAYS !!. His daughter is a beautiful delight to have as waitress an everything she does not only being such a fun young woman she does anything needed around the family restaurant. I'm always given something free while I'm there an treated as I personally know these beautiful humans. I do not know them! Just an amazing experience all around . Must try“
“@BigDudesBigFoods was invited up to @Pats.Barin #MountArlingtonNJ today. We were told it was a dive bar with a more upscale menu and that's exactly what we found. We started with the "Crispy Chicken Teriyaki" over #JasmineRice with #RoastedPeppers Next, we had a grilled chicken sandwich on Ciabatta with Arugula, Roasted Peppers and #FreshMootz Our 3rd course was #PatsWingshalf Buffalo and half Bourbon and we ended our culinary adventure with a #JumboPretzel because jumbo is are thing. If it says jumbo, giant, colossal or anything of that nature on the menu, we are probably going to order it. #PatsBar was clean, decorated for halloween and surprisingly had customers at 3pm when arrived after work. The food was delicious and the staff was fun and friendly and made you want to stay longer but you can only eat so much. . #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday“
“Ordered an Italian hot dog to go. Phoned the order in from a flyer we received in the mail with multiple locations. I called the wrong location and went to pick up from my local. Realizing my error they expedited my order and it was delicious. They could not have been nicer or more helpful. Absolutely coming back for other food!“
“Searching around the area for pizza 2 places came up I decided to stop here . I was met by the owner on her own making pizza , garlic knots and a few more things . What a hard working woman. The pizza was amazing , the garlic knots amazing . My coworkers loved their meals . She chatted with us for a little bit , gave a little history , and how she takes pride in what she does and what comes out that kitchen and oven . Definitely recommend this place . Keep doing a great job and thanks for the great customer service . See you soon !!!“
“Best Pizza in the area. My daughter loves his pizza. She is shy but she loved the pizza so much she actually went up to the owner to tell him how good his pizza was. I have tried different types of slices, from plain to even a vegetarian with Brussels sprouts; it has all been amazing.“
“Landed here by chance but it was our lucky day we did. The service and the food was phenomenal. Marianna was a sweetheart, and she attended to our needs very nicely.We had Muscles and two different pastas, and they were all out of this world! We live in North Jersey and I have not eaten such fresh and delicious food up there. Yes it’s a hole in the wall but you can go to a fancy restaurants that overcharges you but will not give you this kind of authentic flavors!Looking forward to coming back every time we come near here.“
“Stumbled upon on way to Dunkin for coffee...tried a slice of Nonna pizza and knew we had to order dinner.Nonna Pizza huge and one of the best we have had in NJ. Perfectly crisp and the pizza gravy excellent!Grilled Portobello Mushroom Salad huge fresh housemade balsamic decentChicken Sorrentino huge dish nice wine sauce al dente penneNice side salad and huge loaf of garlic bread included“
“I’ve never had anything but excellent pizza from Sorrento’s. It’s a very solid, local pizza place. I always order it in advance and then walk to pick it up and the guys in there are always super friendly. If you are picking up, it’s easy to park on the street right in front and pop in a grab your food. All I want from a regular old school pizza place is good pizza and Sorrento’s never disappoints.“
“We enjoyed the appys, salad and entrees. The brownie sundae was a great ending to the meal, but the very best was our server, Kyle. He was alert to our our server needs, was flexible and professional while personable. We would sit at his table anytime. - Three ladies of the round table.“
“We frequently order from Enzo's for our office, not only is the food excellent the service a fantastic. Always consistent, always reliable. We love Enzo's if you haven't tried them yet, you are missing out. Everything is delicious and fresh. You will not be disappointed make them your go to for everything from Pizza, salads, sandwiches and more! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant the owner and his son are absolutely wonderful.“
“Causal pizza restaurant but not like your typical pizzeria. It's located in an old house. Friendly staff. Pizza is some of the best in the area! The fettuccine carbonara is also one of their best pasta dishes! Also able to get packaged goods to go. Full bar as well.“
“I used to work in this area and this was my go to place for Friday lunch. I was on an assignment in the area when my car clock ticked over to noon just as I drove by. I ran in for two slices and a soda and it was like going home ... the classic Jersey pizza. Tasty, the right amount of cheese, a thin crust with good. "Tooth" and a bill under $10. A local gem. Glad I stopped in.“
“Luigi’s is great old school pizza. Never a bad slice. We routinely leave our hometown to come here; in a market with lots of great choices for pizza, Luigi’s is our choice. Tonight was a simple pie, a little extra done as we requested. Add a small order of buffalo wings and a salad, we’re set. My wife likes that they have fountain birch beer. Their crust is perfect, never disappoints.It is a hidden gem in a shopping mall, that’s outlived quite a few other restaurants. We’ve met some great people over the years in this hometown gem. The artwork on the walls is fun to explore.“

“Stopped here for lunch. Food was excellent and very much enjoyed the antipasto bar. Place was very clean and welcoming and service was great. The only thing we didn't like was the boardwalk pizza- zero flavor so that was a little disappointing. If we are in the area again, we would definitely stop here for lunch or dinner for their delicious meals, salads and antipasto bar!“
“My fiance and I loved this place. Pizza is excellent! Garlic knots are awesome!! We got the chicken parm knots and a bbq pizza and a calzone. Everything was delicious. I think maybe a little more meat in the calzone would be awesome, but not the end of the world. Still delicious and great portions. Highly recommend to people who haven't gone. Will be back soon!“
“Nick and family are amazing. I've been getting pizza, pasta, salad, and sides from Roman's pizza for years now. Always ALWAYS GOOD food, always delivered on time with a smile, always super tasty. Their pizza and pasta is really great but pro tip, their salad is always super fresh!! Also try their wings, ugh so good. Thank you guys, will continue to order from you for years and years. You are the best!“
