“Great food. The pizza is very good and they have amazing prices. Service isn’t bad but could be better. The people are nice but it can be confusing who’s food is who’s because they just call out when certain pizzas are ready. Nice interior as well.“
“I haven't been able to stop by this pizzeria for years since not working in the area anymore. I was driving by on 22 last week, and once I got home I thought darn I should have stopped by. So I made a point to grab a pie during my trip into Bridgewater this week. I couldn't be happier! The gentleman (maybe owner?) at the front was very pleasant. I ordered a large pie with half pepperoni to go. I should have ordered a slice to sit down while I waited, only because with my long drive home it wasn't hot once I returned. (I live almost 40 min away) However, even warm, the pie was amazing. The cheesiness was perfect and I like the mild tang of the sauce. The smaller pepperoni slices aren't quite what I'm used to, but they were absolutely delicious. The dough was flavorful, the perfect amount of salt. I feel these folks truly care about the product they're putting out. I've been following them on Facebook for the years I haven't been around and I'm sad I wasn't able to support them during covid. It's a small place, the interior is very inviting and the atmosphere reminded me of everything I love about a local pizza place. I urge any passersby to give it a try. Drunky Grandma/drunken nonna is one of my favorites from spots close to me and I can't wait to go back to mangia bella and try theirs instead. I feel their per slice was limited, but that's ok. They're not wasting product putting out 20 pizzas per day on the counter for slice sales. If you don't see something you like, order a whole pie. I promise it's worth it. Their prices are comparable to any other pizza place in the area but I felt more at home coming here.“
“The food was really great, but I have an issue with the cost to food ratio.The pizza was delicious and so were the motz sticks. But 17 dollars for 5 small cheese ravioli, a small thing of bread, and no salad? While it tasted good, it was just not enough! And it was expensive.Will be back for the pizza, but don’t know that we will be ordering meals again..“
“Found this place by accident. Central pizzeria. We got turned away from IL Forno a Legna-Dunellen because we didn’t have reservations. Reservations needed for Dunellen, Really? Then we went to Alphonso’s in Somerville, 45 minute wait, no seats at the bar. So we said let’s give this place a try. WOW. Great pizza. Debbie Siecko Majorczak had the personal margarita pie and I had a pie with the works. They were both amazing. Draft and Bottle beers available. We will be back. Found our new Favorite in Somerville. Going to to try one of the entrees next time. Great 50% off entree specials Monday - Thursday. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. Had cheesecake n coffee for desert. Yum.Server was extremely friendly and good.“
“We were greeted by a smiling "Young Luca" and quickly brought to our table. He was our server for the evening. He always works to exceed expectations and has never disappointed us. We ordered the "Calzone special" as an appetizer and it was very good. My wife and my Sister-in-Law ordered the Fish and Veal Chop specials which they said were delicious. I ordered the Ischia and it was excellent. The restaurant was busy but not noisy. We have been to the restaurant many times and it is always a pleasant experience. I highly recommend it.“
“We had an amazing meal at AMA tonight. Sat at the bar and was able to chat with the owner. He told us about growing up in Italy and how he worked to renovate the restaurant himself.Everything we had was delicious. Arancini, Parma pizza, Cacio e Pepe, and homemade lemon gelato.The outside seating is gorgeous in the warm weather. Highly recommended!“
“Absolutely love Pizza Da Napoli! The pizza is excellent - deliciously thin crust, amazing sauce/cheese, and the gourmet pizza options are top notion. Great salads too! Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Great toppings for vegetarians, plenty of veggie options on menu.“
“Food was 11/10 ❗️Order 4 different dishes yesterday all of them tasted amazing! Ordered so much that I dropped my garlic bread on my way to the car. Went back inside and without hesitation the manager made me a fresh batch. Very hardworking people who care about our community. Great environment to bring to your friends and family for quality food.“
“Hands down my favorite place to get pizza! The pizza is crispy and so flavorful. I always go back for their shrimp alfredo and cheesesteaks. Their mozzarella sticks are also one of my favorites too. The atmosphere is great and it’s family owned!“
“This place has a real family feel and they make you very welcome. The food is better than some high end restaurants I have been to and the portions are huge. My favorite is the eggplant parm with hot (spicy) tomato sauce. I think I could eat that every day of the week.“
“Carlucci's Bistro has earned its way into my top rotation. We recently discovered this gem and have been back several times. You like pizza? Go now! The Fungi pizza is other worldly, provided you like mushrooms. Don't like shrooms? Any other pizza will make you happy. The eggplant rollatini - magic. Antipasto salad is solid. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. If you enjoy great food, great humans, and a great BYOB, then high-tail it to Carlucci's. Go now.“
“I been coming here since the 1970’s for awhile it was the only place in Manville to get pizza. Now there are three other places but their homemade sauce stands out amongst the other. The food is good the owner Anthony welcomes everyone like they are his family. Come try his pizza and his other Italian cuisine, you won’t be disappointed.Vegetarian options: I sometimes order the mushroom or peppers on my pizza.Dietary restrictions: They use quality ingredientsParking: They are by an open empty mall there is parkingKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“April 2023I was actually temporarily miss placed when starvation hit and we stopped here.What a quaint place, definitely family oriented.Our server was on his game, he was kind enough to give us ideas of things to do. For our next visit.Portion size could have been a bit bigger.Parking was good, handicapped friendly, child friendly.Give this place a whirl !Kid-friendliness: Yes, they have highchairsWheelchair accessibility: Everythingvis in ground level.“
“Not a bad place to grab a bite. Was up in this area at my works headquarters and went here for lunch. Had the patty melt, and although good, I've had better patty melts. As for pizza, the other three co-workers I was with all got personal pizzas and they looked great!!!“
“I had ordered a tray of rigatoni Bolognese and a tray of subs for Christmas Eve. Everything was outstanding.I can't say enough how good the food is here.Yes..the pizza is good but expand your horizons and try their dinners and subs!!!Great staff too!!!No wonder this place is always busy!!!“
“Kid-friendliness: With a group of 30+ including a two year old who loves to dance a lot to entertain himself and us adults. Food was served buffet style and was very good. Service was great all two hours we spent celebrating the passing of a loved one ?“
“Since moving to NJ from NYC one of the things I truly missed was a good slice of pizza and I have finally found the spot we have been looking for years, I was hesitant at first but my son was like “Mom you have to try it! “ while hesitant, I'm so glad I did!Even a plain slice is super flavorful and the sausage roll with pepperoni OMG and the sauce to compliment the roll it's superb!!!! I look forward to having my son pick up more sausage/pepperoni rolls! It was delicious cold cause we do not live close by now I Can't wait to check it out in person.“
“The service is great. The locals flock here. There are some characters who give this place its vibe. A talkative place. Large portions where you don't get away hungry. Eating "right" can be had, no fountain drinks. Great daily specials. Parking is a concern, not much around. The prices are really good and more than fair for what you get. Make to order sandwiches made the you like. The onion rings are top-notch. Kielbasa and kruat is available. a treat that is hard to find in these parts.“
“The best pizza in town. Delicious ,tasteWas unbelievable. Like Grandma use toMake. The staff was so helpful and friendlyI had the Margarita pie. Beautiful. Presentation. Loved the freshness ofThe basil on top. My. Sister and I wereSo happy with everything. The Argula saladDelicious. The desert cheese. Cake creamyTasty and delicious. Going back again.That is for sure. Paulette Kloos Of Basking Ridge Nj. and Vivian Gallagher of Basking Ridge Nj. Thanks again. Love this Restaurant.“
“If you are craving a desi pizza then do try at this place as well.I tried Bombay Garlic Paneer PizzaWill be trying Tikka Masala Pizza next time- They do recommend as well, if asked- They do make a half and half pizza for large pizzas. It would be grate of they can make do it in medium size as well“
“We stopped by there years ago before we moved out of state and we were wowed by their XXL pizza. So we knew we had to stop in when we were in the neighborhood. The pizza was delicious as usual, the slices were gigantic and so good, the dough was crispy and the cheese and sauce were perfect. We also tried the cheeseburger empanada and I highly recommend it! We will be back whenever we are traveling nearby.“
“I'm a pizza guy & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE their pizza! I would & do recommend their pies & garlic knots to anyone that'll listen. A neighbor of mine who recently moved here a little before I did recommended another place that wasn't up to par. When I told them about Luca's they changed their pizza place to Luca's as well! Check them out!!!Vegetarian options: Veggie options are definitely available! I last had a white pizza with spinach, peppers & onions.Parking: Small parking lot but still doable. I normally place my order over the phone so I'm in & out quickly for another to parkKid-friendliness: People always chat & joke with the kids IF it's not totally busy. Luca's actually introduced my SUPER Picky kids to garlic knots & they LOVE their knots!“
“I placed an order for pick up. Everything we ordered was delicious. The mozzarella sticks were so good. Never have I ever picked up an order brought it home and the sticks were still hot. When you bit into them them were still stringy. My boys bit into one and can pull the cheese out as long as there arm. Highly recommend!“
“I can’t say enough about Avellino’s hands down the best tasting pizza. We order ALL the time and it’s always delicious. Customer service is always exceptional. I recommend Avellino’s to anyone that is looking for fresh, tasty and delicious pizza!“
“Good Italian classics in a nice, new premise. Some things can use improvement: Volcano shrimp was tasty although the ratio of 7 shrimp to an extremely large bed of mashed potatoes was disappointing. The chicken parm dish comes with a side of penne vodka which I thought was nice although it was very light in color and tasted different than penne vodka dish also ordered. Finally there was a ring around the toilet bowl in the ladies room, making me ponder the cleanliness of the establishment as a whole? Also this is a BYOB!“
“trattoria uno....my favorite place, every time I go... I order seafood combo omg...I can't wait, I already want to come back from Miami to enjoy my pasta with seafood again...the cooks know exactly what They do...the owner Angelo is super friendly, the best thing of all is that he is Chivas de Guadalajara “
“I don't know who has been doing the cooking lately. I have been going here for a lot of years. There's and the food is at its best. The pizza has been delicious and I am not a pizza lover. The meatball parm delicious, the chicken parm tops next time I will try the chicken “
“We went to Mr. Assante’s last night for dinner and my husband had the shrimp Parmesan over angel hair pasta and he said it was the best dinner ever he has had there with the shrimp fried Diablo, normally being his favorite. An of course the pasta fagiol soup is hands down amazing !! An cant say enough about the tortilleni with meat sauce served with garlic cheesy bread ? ❤️❤️“
“Found this spot on the way home to get a quick pie for my fam. We love pizza so we barely deviate from our normal pizza spots. This is one of the best kept secrets in somerset NJ. We are pizza purists and we've tried a lot of different places, we're spoiled since NJ has a lot of really good quality spots. We've only had the plain pie from here, so cant really speak to anything else but we love it and this has been our top choice for the last few weeks.“
“Such a great local spot! The food was awesome, service was top notch. So many tasty sounding options we had to use a random number generator to pick which ones to try.. definitely will be back to eat our way thru the rest of the menu.Even got to vote on our favorite chalk drawings, so cute!“
“The owner is a real nice gentleman that cares about the community. We started ordering from Bella Pizza during COVID, and saw all the kind, quiet acts of serving food to families that needed food, and our First responders, and Hospital staff. The food is always delicious and the owner keeps us a loyal customers. God bless and thank you for being a good human.“
“I lived in this area for two years and I ate at this place everyday for lunch on my lunchbreak. They knew me when they saw me and knew what I wanted. I usually at there pizza and two slices is about the most you can take down. I always ordered the chicken pizza or just pepperoni. I am a big pizza guy and so far this is the best pizza I have found in all the states I have lived in, which is why I ate there every single day while working a couple miles away. Very nice staff and you will be full with whatever you order. You guys are great and I miss it so much since I moved. Im really thinking about visiting just to eat at this place again.“
“First visit at this small mom & pop shop for a take out order. Had a large 1/2 onion & 1/2 mushroom large pizza = very good. And had a large cheese steak with onions = nice & thick the way a cheese steak should be made. Definately will be back, plus I need to try the Italian hotdogs! Support local places like this, folks. Friendly owners. Plus, they are open till 10 pm!“
“I ate here twice and they did not disappoint. If you love thin crust pizza , this is the place to go. They have an excellent flavor , and they do not burn the crust like prima pizza does. Even though they have been rated one of the best pizza places in the Somerset area. I had what I believe is a buffalo chicken pizza , and they were not stingy with the chicken ! I love the flavor of the sauce, and the customer service is great ?“
“I recently had the opportunity to try a new restaurant that was 20 minutes away from me. From the moment I arrived, I knew that it was going to be worth the drive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and all the staff were friendly and welcoming.The menu was full of delicious Italian dishes, and I decided to go with the pasta which was plenty for two people and even had enough leftovers. I also ordered a side of garlic bread with cheese, but I honestly didn't need it because the dish already came with bread and salad. The price was very reasonable for the portion size and the quality of the food.In addition to the meal, I also purchased a soda and a red velvet cake. The cake was absolutely delicious and so moist. Dare I say it was even better than the Cheesecake Factory? It was the perfect way to end my meal.Overall, I was very happy with my experience at this restaurant. The food was flavorful and authentic, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try some delicious Italian food“
“Food is always good, people are friendly the only problem I had is outside of this. Today when I paid I used my debit card instead of paying cash like I have every other time this was around 12:15pm today. The employee made a big deal about it being a NASA Card (my mom worked at Nasa & I have had an account there since 10th grade) By 1:30pm someone had attempted to use my card for a $1,339 AT&T purchase that was declined three times then used some Delta D account to charge $799.60 and unfortunately the second attempt work. I just came from the location and and all I had was smoke blown up my but. Either an employee or patron did something and they have a camera inside the store but was told the owner has the key. If the owner would just let me know when he will be there I will show up and we can handle this like gentlemen. I have been going to this place for over 5 years and work near by. For the record the card has been cancelled and NASA is tracking where charges are being attempted from.PaulFor the Record NASA confirmed that the $10.25 charge from Nino's was first before the fraudulent charges happened it the only time I have used the debit card in the last week.Parking: no problem“
“I've lived here for 30 years, and this was our first time at Ridge. My group of six arrived at 2:30, and we were the only diners. People did come and go for take-out. We were served the best warm bread I've had in a long time--crusty on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. I believe the owner was our server, and he was very accommodating. The food was delicious! We brought some wine and were given wine glasses. This is what we ordered: Mozzarella sticks - Good and typical of what you would usually have. Meatballs - I loved them. Good flavor and delicious marinara Pesto Chicken Panini - Excellent Sausage Parmesan sandwich - My husband didn't think it was anything special, but the bread was great Bucatini Amatriciana: Pasta with Italian bacon and onions in a fresh tomato sauce. It was mildly spicy and flavorful, and the portion was good. The kids split a Margarita pizza with fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, fresh tomato sauce, and basil. Delicious Overall, we enjoyed the food. We have no complaints and are glad we chose to eat here.“
“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!“
“my review is for the amazing pepperoni slice I just grabbed for lunch. it had a crispy, thin crust with no flop. the sauce was a nice balance of sweet and tangy. the cheese was not excessive, and the pepperoni wasn’t too greasy. I added pepper flakes and oregano because that’s how I like my pizza, but it would be perfectly delicious without it.“
“I really love their Mario's Pizza! I have brought several people there & they agree it is the best Pizza they ever had. The people are extensive travelers around the world.Vegetarian options: They have Stuffed shells, Eggplant Parm, Lasagna Manicotti & several Vegan PizzasDietary restrictions: gluten free pizza“
“I was visiting NJ for work and was looking for a good pizza spot. I went to a different place the week before but it was not good.Today I found Dominics and as soon as I took the first bite, I knew I found a hidden gem. If you are visiting this area I highly recommend this place.“
“Great, great place. The pizza is phenomenal, my husband and I frequent at least once a week. Their Il forno calamari is so good. If you want a little change from regular fried calamari, you have have to try. Just a an all around great place to eat. We're so thrilled to have a new place in town so close by.“
“Your local Cheers! From the staff to the people who come in, it really is a welcoming place! The food is delicious! Bar pies are some of the best around! And if you’re an espresso martini connoisseur, Lika’s espresso martini is to die for! We love coming here “
“What a great old-school Italian restaurant. Found it by chance, here for a wedding and came in and thought it was just a pizzeria. Someone, maybe the owner, waved us in and said come on in and come to the back dining room. The food was, outstanding! Atmosphere was totally Italian. Love the old school, family style Italian setting. BYOB keeps your bill down and the food is exceptional!“
“This place is very cute and quaint. The staff is very friendly and knows the menu. It seems like a family run shop.The service was good but I think they are a little short staffed as the crew was running around and apologizing for the delays.I had the pork chop it was was excellent“
“Last night was our second trip to Tommy’s and again, another great night. Food always comes out fast and never disappoints with flavor. We had the loaded nachos, corn beef egg rolls from the specials menu, a cali burger and the arugula salad. We also tried the mango mojito and the strawberry smash and everything was great! Or server was attentive and got us everything we needed but every time he came by, he always left empty handed. He would get us refills and take our main course but never took glasses, despite our empty glasses being the trigger to ask us for more beverages. He grabbed the appetizer plates about 15 minutes after we got our main course despite us finishing the apps before the burger and salad came out. We also managed to still have our menus after paying the check.I still left a great tip but I’m keeping my review at 4 stars because management could have done a better job in training and picking up the slack throughout the night. We were stuck in the back room behind the bar and despite the room being filled majority of the time we were there, we never saw management aside from them chatting together in the back as we were walking out. That just left a bad taste in my mouth unfortunately…Dietary restrictions: My wife has every major allergy with a high sensitivity to cross contamination and we haven’t had any issues coming here!“
“Possibly the best plain slice I've had in a while. It's light, crispy and compliments the sauce. I highly recommend Cristo's Pizza and grill.Next on my list is trying their specialty pizza which looked great. I have my eye on the black olive pizza for my next visit.“
“Today my sisters and I celebrated my birthday here for brunch and it was perfect! The food was great and the unlimited mimosas were on point. What really made it special was our server Ana! We had an unfortunate accident but she was so graceful and sweet about it. Her energy and attentiveness the whole time was amazing and everyone was commenting on how great she was. When I come back I will definitely be asking for her by name. Thank you again for everything Ana!- The birthday girl“
“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!“
“Great little trattoria. Y'all have a wonderful atmosphere, great front room staff and the kitchen makes wonderful dishes. Folks, you gotta get the calamari, healthy serving; the meatball sundae, a no-brainer; and lastly - spicy grandpa.Parking: Park in the garage just south of the restaurant and east of ShopRite.“
