“Great hole in the wall. Staff was friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was welcoming and clean. Food was really good. The garlic knots and pepperoni knots were so good. I’d be happy if that’s all I could eat the rest of my life. The pizza was good as well. Thin and crackery just as I prefer. Slices were big and so the value was really high. Overall great experience and highly recommend. Thank you La Pizza ??“
“This was our first time ordering from here & we were pleasantly surprised! It was quite delicious! We ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, chicken tenders, fried calamari & curly fries. Everything turned out delicious & we enjoyed the homemade breaded chicken tenders! Would definitely recommend!Dietary restrictions: They offer grilled & whole wheat options!“
“Good food however, few things that need improvement. Always feels like they never have enough wait staff. Always waiting a while to take our order, get our food, get our check, etc. Also, supposed to be family friendly but they don't have infant high chairs which is very surprising. Even the smaller restaurants up the block with far less space have infant seats. Feels like a big miss.Kid-friendliness: It's fine for kids over 5 with good kids menu, but no high chairs for infants/toddlers“
“Great place to enjoy a delicious pizza. I’m super picky when it comes to food. I must say that this place exceeded my expectations.FRIED CALAMARI was amazing and IMPOSSIBLE CHICKEN was super crunchy and tasty. Now the CHIMI CHICKEN PIZZA was the BEST pizza I ever had in a long time. Service let by JUNIOR made me feel welcomed… Great place ??“
“I had been meaning to go for about a year. A friend and I finally went last night. The waitress was awesome! We ordered an appetizer: bruschetta. We shared a pizza...it was absolutely delish! I heartily recommend this place.Vegetarian options: We had a specialty vegetarian pizza. It had spinach, artichokes, garlic and lemon zest.“
“So the first time I ever had razza, we got takeout and the guy on the phone was so nice. I was so blown away by how patient and nice he was. The pizza was also to die for…. Absolutely bewildering how amazing it was. Today I ate inside for the first time with my best friend and…. great googly moogly were we amazed. First of all, thank you so much to Joe and the girls in the front for getting us seated despite our tardiness to our reservation. So grateful for that! I felt like they really wanted us there and were so empathetic. Second of all, THE bartender Kai (spelling) is a legend. That foamy drink and the pretty pink one…. Woah. Outstanding!!! Thirdly, the pizza was obviously off the hook. They told us the clam calzone was taking a bit long because of the dough and how they needed to get it just right, and man you could really taste the technique and effort and attention to detail that was taken with that calzone. Gobsmacked… and the pizzas, dear god. Hazelnut pizza blew us away because it was just such an elite pairing of the nut with the cheese and dough. Lest we forget the special pizza which was spinach and a garlic confit — have you ever seen the movie ratatouille? You know the scene where he tries the ratatouille and has a flashback to his childhood? The whole time, that was me. Literally cannot express what an awesome experience this was from start to finish. Thank you guys all so much“

“Not only is this place super delicious as a NY slice but their selection is outstanding along with everyone that works there. The manager Dawn is a sweetheart we’ve hit it off since me and my wife met her. Anyone looking for a great pie this is spot.“
“Very impressed with panini grill. Ordered food to st Vincents . happened to mention that I was in labor and delivery and when our food arrived there was a little something extra in it. Thank you for the delish cannolli and finding a way to celebrate with us! Very impressed. The Buckley's“
“When a craftsman takes pride in their work, it shows! Let me tell you that this pizza has "craftsmanship" written all over it! To begin with not many pizzerias make grandma slices, whereas they had an abundance when I went in. To top it off the taste is just an explosion of flavor! This is besides a variety of pizza styles they have ready. I'm definitely coming back and can't wait to try out other craft slices!“
“This place is unbelievable!!! My husband and i went for a quick lunch date and man, our only regret is that we hadn't tried it sooner. We got a salad, broccoli rabe, and the classic pizza to share. Everything was amazing. The pizza was like being back in Italy. We also got the nutella desert which should be illegal. Cannot wait to try our way through the menus. So happy to have this wonderful spot in the neighborhood.“
“Great meal and overall time here! Our server was super nice and friendly/helpful he really guided us through the menu and gave some great suggestions. The restaurant itself is super nice and cozy while being spacious, but oh man the food is unreal. We had the meatballs (so big and flavorful and smothered in sauce), the mushroom pizza which was loaded with mushrooms, super flavorful and unique. Also got the vodka pizza which was really great, we got extra vodka sauce on the side so we could really drown it and loved it. My friend got the gluten free and she said it's the first gluten free bread she's had that actually tastes like real bread and loved it.“
“Highly recommend Ita Italian Kitchen in JC for a memorable dinner outing ( and for my gf and I, thats very hard to come by since we are very picky and foodies!). The dining experience at Ita Italian Kitchen is delightful, with standout dishes like beef bolognese, antipasto with olives and cheese, and clams that are sure to impress your taste buds! Don't miss out on trying their espresso martini(though got mine with house tequila), a real highlight of their drink menu. While some drinks may lean towards being too sweet, the overall experience at Ita Italian Kitchen is excellent and perfect for a special dinner outing! Service was immaculate.“
“Deninos has great pizza and is usually nice and well done. I will admit I used to love their calamari - it was nice and crispy. But over the years the have changed the recipe, now it is chewy and kinda gross. I hate to throw shade on this pizzeria because I have been going there since I was a kid but I want to leave an honest review. And I wish they would update their glasses instead. They are so small and you got to suck with these tiny red straws. I'll admit I am not a fan of that (but it is tradition). I love their pizza but I will say it used to be better than it is currently. The last time I went here was 2 years ago. It was for a family birthday party. Most of my family was surprised with how much the recipes changed. However we mostly order pizza and calamari. So I can't say how the other menu options are. All in all I will continue to go here just not as frequently as I used to. Because it is far from my home and it just isn't what it used to be.“
“I wish I had found Bella Trattoria sooner! My wife and I have been trying to find some 'go to' dinner spots since moving to the east coast, and I can confidently say we found a keeper. The atmosphere in the restaurant is perfect for a date night or a nice family outing and you'll absolutely find something on the menu for everyone. We started with the calamari fra diavolo and the sauce had the perfect amount of spice to it. The main course obviously had to be some pizza but we couldn't decide on one so we tried the veggie and the salsiccia. You guys...they were amazing! The crust was just right and there was plenty to take home for late night snacks. All I can say is I can't wait to go back“
“Ordered two pies. Delivery was quick and pizzas were nice and hot. Husband and I didn't care for the taste. The sauce was a bit sweet and somewhat tangy. Can't place my finger on it, but we didn't care for it. Giving four stars because everything else was fine, just not tasty.“
“Since our arrival the staff has been super friendly, and for those whose English is a problem, it is solved because everyone speaks Spanish. And the food is spectacular! The spaghetti with meatballs are tremendous, and the pizza is delicious and made with fresh products. The portions are very large and you will have leftover food, but they provide you with tupperware to take away. Highly recommended!“
“Awesome place with awesome people and AWEsome pizza! Triple P! I ordered 4 different slices at almost 11pm, and they were all stellar ?Lots of seating, bathroom was clean, and they're open later than most places!Great pizza spot to frequent!“
“I loveeeee this place. They're margaritas will KILL you! In a good way of course. The pizzas are INCREDIBLE!!! Super super delicious! Our favorites are the large tray! We get half Aunt Honey - Seppe's red pie topped with chili flakes, hot soppressata and hot honey & the other half Pep In Your Step - Seppe's red pie with fresh jalapeno's, cupping pepperoni and hot honey.“
“Just had Ungaro's tonight for the 3rd time with my kids and it was just as great as ever. Kids are tough critics for pizza, but they loved it. They just have to work on the pronunciation of the name. I love driving back into the neighborhood I grew up in to support local family businesses as my family was in I know all to well how challenging it can be especially with regards to location. This place never disappoints. It's comfortable and quaint, always well lit with some classic Italian tunes on and the food knocks it out of the park. We enjoyed a classic cheese pie and mozzarella sticks, a must for my kids, and I got for the third time this fig and cheese app on crostini bread with a honey and glaze drizzle. Ming ! My only complaint is a kitchen staff member was taking a break while I was eating with my family and total disregard blasting some telemundo crap from two tables away at full volume. I was about more than halfway done but it totally messed up the vibe. Dinner with the kids, drizzling outside, they had a long day were talking about the neighborhood and Boom just a total left field hit of some random telemundo or something. And he had the phone propped up on a bottle of iced tea so I said to myself " well this experience has just ended ". I asked the waitress who was lovely if that man worked there she said yes so I asked her to take care of it and she did. If it was a regular patron I would have been polite and asked them to cut it. Now listen, I get it. The guy is taking a break and it's a small place. I just hate when workers do things they wouldn't do if the owners were there. The guy even turned the phone back on but lower about 15 minutes later, I could hear it dude !! That's rude! Bring some headphones to work. Business is hard enough without ownership having to worry about a rogue dishwasher not giving a rats ass about their business and what they are trying to build. Anyone ever experiencing this, say something right away. Can't wait to be back in the neighborhood and try some new things.“
“Absolutely incredible experience with Michelino's every time. This specific review is regarding a recent order I made for 30 pizzas for a school event (I'm a teacher). John was incredibly helpful, giving, and even stayed open late so I could get all the pizzas and bring them for our overnight event. He cares about the community and he cares about the quality of his food and service. The pizza is amazing, the service is amazing, and I couldn't be more grateful!!!“
“The owner is very friendly.Good, delicious foodDifferent food and drink options to choose fromI got to try the grilled chicken sandwich (without cheese) with roasted peppers, lettuce, tomato, vinegar and fries.Lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar. You could have with fresh mozzarella too.For dessert BrowniesParking: There is a parking lot with 3 parking spaces.Street parking is easier to find space to park. If could find where to park close by.“
“A Brooklyn classic that can never die. It’s been a while since I have had the privilege of enjoying the snap of their thin crust, NY classic pie, but like anything good in NYC, the mere fact that they have lived on for so long is a testament to the truly home grown product they provide to Brooklyn.Their Sicilian pie is a wonderfully soft, cake-like dough with a crisp crust and a perfect combination of their house-blended cheese and a wonderfully balanced light coating of house-seasoned sauce.Nothing beats a bite at the outside counter. This place should be a NYC historical landmark and I’m happy to see that they are still going strong and serving Bay Ridge with pride.“
“The place is cute and well-decorated. We waited over 45 minutes after ordering for our food, and then the order was incorrect, so had to wait a bit longer for my full meal. Then waited a long time for the check, etc. Ended up spending about 2.5 hrs in there. I appreciated not being rushed, but I went in there extremely hungry and I am a busy medical student, so I did not anticipate spending so long in there.I will say, our server, Caesar, was stellar! very kind, charismatic, and helpful. Chatty when we wanted to chat, and left us alone when that time came, too. Great server.I forgot to take a photo of my food because I was soooooo hungry when I finally got it! Food was delicious and portion sizes were large.“
“Clean environment and the food is delish. Tony is the best. Not only does he serve a friendy atmosphere, but he cooks with his heart.Love the "Metro Special Pizza" however"Eggplant Rollatini on a Hero is my favorite. It's a definite must try!!!Thanks Tony for having such a tasty menu and getting me out of the kitchen.“
“Best of the Best. My grandma slice was one of the best I've ever had - with a terrifically unusual sweetness in the dough. Service here is 10/10. "Robust menu" is an understatement, not to mention the nearly full stock of grocery items. Great indoor and outdoor seating areas. Pondoros and Panetones hanging from the sealing? Say what?!“
“Great old school, style pizza. Delicious Sicilian (square) slice. His tomato sauce is aauthentic home-style. One of my favorite pizzerias around. I have lived in Brooklyn for 53 years and Summer in Italy yearly l, so I had a lot of pizza in my life. Espresso pizza. 'Molto Bene'. He should be reviewed by Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports...I recommend this place without reservation.“
“Hands down the best espresso drinks in JC. My favorite two things are the fig prosciutto and cheese focaccia and Also THE TINY SPICY FISH on toast. I don't know exactly what it is but I don't care its amazing and delicious. Get a cortado or a cappuccino or even just an espresso shot.The service is FAST especially for what everyone is making but I will say the line and wait can get so crazy that you sometimes just step out and try another time.“
“BEST pizza in Montclair/ Essex/NJ!So surprised it did not make it as the best pizza in Montclair magazine. Truly the BEST! We have tried 3 different flavors so far and all were DELICIOUS! Our family drives from uptown Montclair to this location! Excellent service and food! Thank you.“
“Their catering food deserves more than 5 stars. Been using them for a yearly party for a few years now. Not once have I even received anything less than spectacular feedback from those attending. They are not afraid to season their food, which is a pleasant experience with catering. Do not hesitate to use Rusillo's for your next event. They will be there when they say and will help you take your event to the next level. You won't be sorry.“
“So happy that Dante's is opened again... we do not have a history to what Dante's used to be as we moved to town not too long ago but what I can tell you is that we are so happy they're open now! It's so nice to have a local pizzeria to order from that you know is reliable, great, and locally owned. Dante's opened up with new owners who are from town which is always nice to support. We have ordered a good number of times now and can really say we have not had one bad order. Pizza- great and delicious! Pastas- never had a disappointing one. Salad and sandwiches have been pretty good as well. We are excited to continue to order from Dante's and continue to try different dishes. Service has been great with either you order in person or on the phone. They are friendly when you go in for pickup service and delivery. Dante's offers some table seating in case you wanted to eat your meal there. Great place!“
“Came here with a large group after work. They really love the food. I split an American pizza as well as a salad and most of our crew got personal pies, which feeds one to two people. The staff was really accommodating. They don't take reservations but recommended I call an hour ahead of time and when we arrived they had tables put together to accommodate all 10 of us. I think I came to one of these pizzerias in Kingston and it is a pleasant surprise to see. They also have another one here in Jersey City. I definitely recommend this place!“

“Nice selection of pizza, apps, sandwiches and dinners. Pizza was very fresh, made with quality ingredients. Ordered the brick oven with mushrooms and it had a great overall taste and balance including a nice crispness to the crust. The only thing I would do next time is ask for a little less cheese, but that is just a personal preference.“
“Loads of food, huge variety to choose from, great service and atmosphere..good vibes all around what more can you ask for from a restaurant? I’ve only been to Manny’s pizza twice and can guarantee you I’ll be there many more times! Can’t recommend this place enough“
“One of my coworkers introduced to me to Palermo’s when we ordered lunch together a few times. I’ve only had a few sandwiches, but they have been delicious every time. I can’t wait to try their other food, especially the lasagna which I’ve heard great things about.“
“Jimmy Max has always been a Staten Island staple to me, but I recently hosted a first party for my daughter there and can now double down on that sentiment. :-) Erin was so wonderful to work with leading up to the party. She was quick to respond via email, answered all of my questions, and sat with us in person to sort out final details. The day of the event, Erin and the rest of the staff worked so hard to make sure that everyone was happy throughout the day. It’s the first party I’ve hosted where I felt relaxed from start to finish - and that’s all thanks to the staff at Jimmy Max. The food was delicious and plentiful! The space was beautiful! And the staff was an a+ team! Highly recommend for a party of any kind!“
“I stumbled upon this hidden gem in New Jersey, and it turned out to be a diamond in the rough. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, setting the perfect mood for a memorable evening. The customer service was impeccable; the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.Now, let's talk about the real star of the show – the chef, Ardi. His culinary skills are nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was a masterpiece, and my girlfriend and I couldn't help but savor each bite. Ardi's expertise truly elevated the dining experience.In all honesty, this place has become our new favorite restaurant. If you're looking for a delightful combination of atmosphere, top-notch service, and exceptional cuisine, this is the spot. Kudos to Ardi and the entire team for creating such a spectacular dining haven!“
“Even if the restaurant looks a bit unusual from the outside right next to the laundromat: don't miss out on a visit! Super friendly, attentive service and absolutely delicious, freshly prepared food! Absolute recommendation! we'd love to come back! Thanks!“
“Mostly deep dish square cut pizza. The Vodka slice was amazing! Never had a sauce on top pizza but good lord the sauce, the mozzarella under the sauce, and the thick/ crispy crust was AMAZING. Obviously not easy to get to being in South Manhattan but well worth the stop if you are in the area“
“My wife and I go here often. Great Pizza, Nachos, Wings etc. Excellent Beer selection and the specialty cocktails are delicious. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Lots of TV's for sporting events. The decor is also pretty cool. We will keep going back.“
“Just moved to Rutherford TODAY and I’m not used to having good pizza in NJ, I prefer NYC slices. Ordered a few pies this afternoon for all our friends and family who are helping us move and I needed to take a few minutes to write this review. So excited that this is my new fav pizza place! Pepperoni, Plain, and Sausage is so tasty!! Love the pepperoni cups that curl up! ❤️❤️❤️“
“As a husband & wife business I can truly appreciate another small business!Frankie's is absolutely one of those restaurants that you will want to tell someone about.As soon as I walked in I was promptly greeted with the most hospitality you could hope for. Soon as I mentioned I was traveling and also a small business the whole family jumped in the conversation.I felt like I was visiting a dear relative and was playing catch up with family. With that one aunt, that's like "you gotta try this!".The pizza!!! OMG, it's one of the best pies I've ever had. Simple, yet explosive flavors. Perfectly crisp, you'll even eat the crust!With over 500,000 miles traveled since 2012, I've tried many pies!“
“Last week my family celebrated our grandma’s 100th birthday and we ordered food from Mancini. Delicious! Everyone enjoyed it. Frank and other people at the restaurant are friendly and very professional. They sent us delicious garlic knots on the house. Overall, we were very happy with the quality of food and service.“
“Ok I been in the area for almost 2 years and I was afraid to try this place. Because every other pizza spot has let me down. But iam very pleased with this place. Pizza is good the wings are very good. I will be ordering from this place going forward.“

“It’s establishments like this that set the standard by which all future experiences are measured. The taste, texture and freshness of the pizza, eggplant rollatini and garlic were all to die for (shout-out to the marinara sauce!!), but it’s the atmosphere created by the easy, efficient team, and especially Maryellen and John that will make my memories. Something about their familiarity, warm presence and attentiveness made us feel at home immediately, giving us a glimpse into what it would be like to be part of this neighborhood. It was fun just to watch Maryellen interact with the customers, seeming to know every customer by name. If I were a local I would definitely be a loyal customer.“

“Found this spot accidentally in the food court of the Newport mall. But the pizza, crust, flavors were surprisingly so good for such a small shop. I had the tandoori paneer and it was sooo good. Service was prompt as well. Much better than the more hyped pizza spots in Jersey city or journal square.“
“MY FAMILY Loves this restaurant. the atmosphere is so homey . Love that is BYOB. And above all the owner, omg he is one of the most generous restaurant owners in the world. If the restaurant is full, he will send a pizza on the house while you wait for your food. Pizza is so delicious, crispy, and one of our favorites in town. All their dishes are amazing as well .“
“Came here after hearing about it online and I am not disappointed. The small pizza is a great size for personal pizza. I've had fusion pizza before and I was excited to see flavors other than Tikka pizza. I got the lamb kabob pizza, packs a bit of heat. The crust leaves a bit to be desired but that's not a huge deal.“
“It's very disappointing to see that already after only a few months of being open to make changes and to start cutting corners with their menu. They changed up their Sub Sandwich rolls from a beautiful seeded semolina roll to some substandard Italian sub roll. The bread makes the sandwich. Any chicken Parm and Meatball Parm should have stayed on that semolina roll. Cheesesteaks should not, they belong on those other Italian rolls. It "was" the best chicken Parm I ever had. Now it's just like every other round of the mill pizza joint that comes and goes...“
“Star Tavern is a family place. Their thin crust pizza is incredible. We tend to get the plain or only one topping because it is so thin. Decent selection of beers on tap. Have not had too many other items on the menu. Fair price for an evening out.“
“Absolutely delicious pizza including their Sicilian pies. I first came here many years ago as a kid with my father and now I've been coming here with my son, the taste and quality hasn't changed at all and to this day we still love coming to eat here.“
