My review is of an order for delivery, and I cannot comment on service or ambience. Calabrese has the best selection of Italian food I have seen in a local pizzeria. For example, I ordered veal saltimbocca, which is very hard to find locally, for half the price it would cost in a local restaurant, and it was delicious and had generous portions (it could easily serve two.) The hot antipasto was excellent, and could serve four. It was delivered in about an hour.

OMG the most delicious veal francese I've ever had! No bullshit. What a fantastic selection. So flavorful and with the pasta, an excellent choice. Quite inexpensive too. Love Calabrese, great chef!

Sal Calabrese is a master pizza maker and the rest of the menu is awesome too. My favorite is the Sicilian Baked Ziti with eggplant. OMG:)All his ingredients are fresh and the portions are fantastic. I know my pizza folks and he's in the Top three for me. Nothing of my choices include the fast food chains. I feel like I'm having a meal cooked by Family. Sal always has a great smile and great jokes but also gives you a lot of history regarding the area. I'm a regular and even though I cook 80% of my meals at home, Sal is my go to guy when I don't feel like cooking. His other chef Julio and his mom are like family too. It's really cool to see his family stopping by for a meal. Reminds me of my trips to Italy where I only frequent mom and pop restaurants.He's open Super Bowl Sunday folks so put your orders in early. Tell them James sent you.Enjoy!!

Food is delicious. Everything I get it's made perfect. I haven't had any complaints. My stomach agrees. Lol. Delivery on point. They always get our order correct. You can always pick up or stop by and eat. Of course dress for the occasion. Tell em I sent you.

Calabrese serves great food and even better pizza, best pizza in all of Bloomfield and especially Essex
Small walk-in walk-out type of location. There is no better neighborhood pizzeria. The owner works in the kitchen. Always care about his customers. You really are family when you walk into this place. My kids always want Calabrese pizza. Me and my family are customers for life.

Just had a delivery from here and it is delicious! Will absolutely be returning here any time I want to order a pizza!
Customer service is pleasant. Courteous. Respectful. The pizza is so tasty and even when heated days later. The crust tastes so good on its own. The owner has a great personality and is down to earth and respectful, gentle, smart guy. Try them out. I have been going there since about 2013. Wish they were closer to me.

The restaurant needs some TLC. We ordered a plain pie and grandma pie. The plain was delicious but when we opened the grandma pie I thought I was eating an onion pizza. It was disgusting and they called it a grandma pie. The service was awesome.

I read the reviews and my wife reminded me that she had gotten me pizza there one time prior around my birthday. In any case I read the reviews and I gave them a shot. I ordered a grandma pie. Which is more like a grandma Sicilian pie. When I picked it up, it was quite heavy and I actually wait it when I got home and it was 6 lbs. 1 oz.Regardless, I'll give them a good four out of five more like a 4.5 or eight out of 10 I think it's quite good. I am more of an a pizza critic, i eat it quite often. Probably once every week.The gentleman gave me my pie, and was very courteous. The pie was hot and was delivered on time. And it looks quite lovely in presentation.Thanks !William
