They discriminated against handicap. I visited with three friends one being blind and the other having a hunchback. We arrived for happy hour 4-7 we were told we could only have happy hour if we sat at a high top table. That was absolutely impossible for our friend with hunchback. We did point out the obvious reasons why we couldn’t sit at a high top table and needed to sit in a regular table. She also sells with a walker. We were told we could not have happy hour menu if we sat at the regular table. My friends felt absolutely horrible and couldn’t understand the logic. I was appalled so if you have a disability please note how they treat their customers!!

This place was a very classy pizza parlor. It did not have an Italian vibe, but it had a fine dining style instead. They have outside seating, inside seating, and a party room. They have a huge counter filled with menu items and the staff is very nice. Parking is plentiful and the food is affordable.

The good: -Service here is top tier. I've never had anything other than stellar, genuine, and attentive service on the pizza side. My girlfriend and I split a drink? They bring over a cup of ice without us asking. The napkin dispenser was empty? The busser stopped what he was doing to bring some and fill the dispenser. The even better: The pizza. The Thai Chili and buffalo chicken slices are to die for - just the right amount of zesty on a perfectly thin and crisp crust. White slices (not pictured), perfectly crispy with creamy, garlic-y Ricotta. Chicken Vodka sandwiches are always a winner as well! The other: The other side of the restaurant has a full bar and entrees. I have not yet dined on that side, but I most certainly will eventually! This is most definitely some of the best pizza in NJ!

Absolutely delicious! We started with the clams casino which were packed with flavor...come in either a set of 6 or 12. For dinner we shared the spicy chicken Stromboli which was phenomenal, but not that spicy (a little bit of a misnomer). But it wasn't greasy at all and the ratio of fillings was perfect. We also shared a gluten free margarita pizza with meatballs and sausage..the crust wasn't great and was honestly a little soggy but I attribute that to being gluten free. It was otherwise very tasty.

Met family here with small children for a cozy, post Covid Christmas present exchange. This was absolutely the wrong choice. An Italian restaurant/take out pizza joint, cloaked in a TGIFridays' on dollar draft night, the ambience figuratively, and literally lends itself to screaming at the TV during March Madness games, terrifying the one year old in our party. Food (veal parm) could not have been more generic and alright in the most mediocre way. Table spacing in the dining room does not accentuate the experience as you are essentially sitting in the lap on the person at the table behind you. One star for our server who, was actually present and prompt.

Tried to get deliver to Cedar Knolls for Valentine's Day dinner. Website indicated we were outside their delivery area so I opted to pick up order. Website allowed option of curbside pickup which I needed because I am immuno- compromised. When I arrived and called in as instructed I was told they no longer did curbside pickup. I asked for manager and explained my concern. His first response was website is out of date and it was "their problem", not his, whoever "they" are. He finally agreed to place order on table outside, which I agreed was acceptable. Thirty minutes later the food was placed outside. Not a pleasant experience. .

Went today and was sitting by the pizza counter for hours, had a slice of the "upside down" pie, 9.1/10 (Dave portnoy scale), excellent crisp, delicious sauce, one of the best slices I've ever had Also very friendly and welcoming staff

Penne Vodka looks good, although tastes like nothing? My friend scared me into thinking maybe I just had covid but when he tried it, he realized I was right. Disappointing... Pizza is good though!

Food is delicious but three stars because service is always insanely slow. I serve at a restaurant in the summers and I understand how it's been for the service industry during the pandemic. However, if your service is ever so bad that people are waiting and waiting for their food, drink refills, or the check, you need to either find staff or shut down. People still deserve a pleasant dining experience for what they're paying. Pasta, appetizers, salads, drinks, and dessert are very good though.

Some of, if not the best, pizza I've had in a long time. My boyfriend and I got a couple of slices - white, bruschetta, Buffalo chicken, and Thai shrimp. I have to admit, I'm usually a little skeptical about shrimp on pizza but it was so good! The guy behind the counter was so nice and helpful. When we mentioned that we were splitting a soda, he grabbed us two cups of ice without us asking. You can also make your own personal sized pizza to your specifications! Can't wait to do that! Really great pizza and really great service.
We tried the chicken parm, stuffed mushrooms, a slice of chicken bacon ranch, slice of godfather and a vodka penne slice. Mushrooms were good. Chicken parm was bland. The pizza wasn't memorable at all. Too many good Italian joints to try. Prolly won't be back.

Just came once before a bowling tournament and grabbed some slices. Don't want to evaluate too much before getting to go back, but the service was friendly, the food was fast and hot, and it tasted great. Good white slice with broccoli and they were cooked nice and hard with a decently thin crust.

We ate at Godfather in late September and enjoyed it, so we went back approximately four weeks later in late October, but were totally disappointed. We ordered crab cake, soup, & pizza. The crab cake was cold, but we ate it. The soup was cold, so we asked for it to be reheated which took over 15 minutes. The pizza was ok. At least it was hot. We had to ask for bread to be brought. Staff was totally inattentive. It will be a long time till we consider trying it again, if ever.

From the Midwest I'm not looking for NY style pizza. Had some from different parts of Jersey and NY. Their pepperoni pizza was the best one I've found. Chicken bacon ranch was the freshest pie out that day. Didn't appeal to me, but it looked good. Great great pizza. Not enough ranch to take over the flavor. Plenty of chicken and bacon to top your list. Pleasantly surprised.

I used to work minutes away and never happened to stop by until a recent Friday night. It seems to be split up into two parts: a bar/more of a sit down atmosphere (with outdoor seating and warmers available) and a more casual pizza joint where I went. The pizza looked pretty standard, maybe on the thicker side. I went with the arugula chicken salad. It was definitely heavier than a regular salad, with a lot of fresh mozzarella. Good, but just more sauce (for the chicken) and cheese than I typically like which probably most people prefer. Overall pretty typical strip mall eatery
