Everything is excellent... from the service to the food... everyone is very friendly and helpful... every time we go they serve us very well... we love the al pastor pizza, I highly recommend... the party bread and the gorditas of cream that they make are delicious and even more so when they have just taken it out of the oven... I recommend this place 100%%...

This was not my 1st time here. I've lived around corner 2.5 years now. I always order the al pastor pizza and i love the mexican bread. So today i was really shocked and disappointed at what i got for 26.00, a lrg pepperoni. Don't get me wrong, its not bout the price. I pay for quality, so cost isn't an issue. Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but this picture would look like a lil Caesar pizza for 7.00. Only 3 pc pepperoni per slice basically. And usually you can taste the sauce. A little dry today and it was unfortunate. I have been used to high quality these past years. Im just surprised.

Awesome little spot we accidentally came across when going to another restaurant in the same plaza and we’re glad we did.Pizza dough was made with the minimum amount of oil needed for it to be moist without it being overwhelmingly oily. Great crust and great flavor/ingredients. We got the Al Pastor pizza and it was awesome would recommend and will come back again soon!

Nice pizza with a very tender and fluffy crust. They also have racks of fancy holiday bread now. A few tables there but great for takeout.
One of the better taste pizzas I have in years and once started you will always go back for more. So glad find this jewel in the city of Newark.

My God the food here is superb!!!! The pizza is delicious, the cheese is perfect, the dough is fluffy and light, the toppings were generous and fresh. The pasta was perfectly cooked! The sauce is creamy and home made. The salad is big and fresh with a generous amount of candied pecans. Great prices. Excellent customer service This place is awesome. Don't expect this as a sitting down restaurant it is more like a take out restaurant that has some seating.

Absolutely delicious pizza every time we order. I absolutely love this place. We usually get delivery but the one time I picked it up the person working there was polite and warm. I highly recommend this business.

Al pastor pizza is amazing and the best. The dough is so soft. The crest is sweet and super delicious. Would get this again!

The food was very good will come back again for sure !! And they serve beer now. Had the carbonera pizza and some buffalo chicken wings. Everything was so good. 10/10. Best part... watched the niners game as well.
Combination Pizza - 5 StarsSalad - 4 StarsThe bread is the tasting pizza bread ever. That is saying a lot considering it just knocked Pequod's in Chicago down to number 2. The toppings were lacking in quantity but very tasting.Overpriced salad with a small amount of lettuce and toppings. Salad dressing was out of a bottle.

Craved for creamy pasta and the sensational shrimp pasta hits the spot. But sadly, the bag tipped during delivery and lost almost 1/2 of the cream sauce. Plenty of fully peeled shrimp in the pasta. The pizza looks really neat! Their dough tastes sweet but I think it makes the whole eating experience pleasant cos you get the sweet dough, savory cheese and the tomato sauce. The garlic cheese bread looks like burger buns from the posted pictures, they are NOT. They are the same sweet dough. Manage your expectations but if you want something different, give them a try. We were definitely pleasantly surprised.

Based on reviews decided to order from El Hornito. We ordered a personal pizza (where you select your items) for delivery. Added 6 toppings (including extra cheese). When we got the pizza it only had 3 of the toppings (based on little cheese was on the pizza, we concluded that one of the missing toppings was extra cheese). The crust was doughy. The chicken topping was tough and hard. Overall OK pizza but there are better places nearby.

DISCLAIMER: The dough is not your typical pizza dough. It's more like a Mexican sweet bread. (not saying it's a bad thing, just so you can align your expectations)THE GOOD- Pepperoni Pizza (4.25 out of 5)- - I like the pepperoni chosen. Oily but not overly oily.- Hawaiian Pizza (4.25 out of 5)- - Good quality ham and pineapple toppings.- Cheesy Bread (4 out of 5)- The dough is sweet but it blends well with the cheese.- Also good to note that the interior is nicely decorated and clean.- Staff was very friendly and welcoming.THE BAD- Also, the dough.- - I got to double, triple stomp on the fact that the dough/crust is sweet. If you're not expecting, you could be blinded sided and it might not be you're thing.THE UGLY- Nothing.
