“I really don't have any negatives. I ordered the sausage Parmigiano dinner. The garlic bread was not the way I would make it, but it was OK. The sauce was good, the sausage was good and everything was presented well. The salad and the house dressing was good! Seems like it's a family run operation, we need to support that! Support thier business, I don't think you will be disappointed.“

“Five’s all around for this amazing pizza! We have ordered whole pies and sometimes simply a whole mess of slices. Each time it’s delish! The owner & staff are so friendly & helpful.

“I went to Pezzo Pizza with three children under 5, and the staff was just incredible. They were so, so sweet and accommodating — not always an easy task with little ones, I get it! I felt completely at home, and so did the kids. The food was really good too, which made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that makes dining out with children feel easy and enjoyable, but Pezzo Pizza really delivered. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Lovely atmosphere. Very good food and great staff.“

“The food here is outstanding & delicious! You must try the Sicilian Grandma's Pizza. The crust was amazing as is how they make a Sicilian slice of pizza. It's the right balance of crust and fresh ingredients without it being overpowered with dough. The salad we had was delicious too. Everything so far we had here is just phenomenal as is the customer service, staff & owner. Definitely go and check it out!“

“Thank you Sapori for the amazing food you made for my family Father's Day party! The Baked ziti was so cheesy good, the green salad fresh & crisp, bruschetta was crunchy & lots of topping, & shrimp scampi garlic yum! the service was so friendly! Many Blessings to your family from Ken & JoAnne Betz xo“

“Food was on point, The Tower appetizer would be better if the eggplant was fried, and crispy though. The outdoor area overlooking the lake was beautiful on a summer evening.

The outdoor seating isn't particularly comfortable, and it get a bit loud. Still, it was an enjoyable dinner.“

“DELISH! I ordered a full tray of chicken Parm and of baked ziti. My family devoured everything and asked to take a dish home. Very generous servings and delicious. The phone order was soooo nice and the delivery was timely. I would recommend for your next catering need.“

“Uncle Sal's Pizza Budd Lake Has great food! Very clean place! And nice staff. I order once a week from there!“

“Pizza was amazing and calamari was out of this world“

“Ordered form catering menu. Very happy. Food was delicious. Delivered on time definitely recommend for your catering needs.“

“Carmine's is our go to place whenever we crave Italian or a cheesesteak. Husband and I were there yesterday for late lunch. Excellent pasta fagioli soup, huge slices of pizza, and overstuffed, cheesesteak. Great service and reasonable prices. We were informed there is an extra charge if you're not paying cash. This is becoming a common practice and we were informed of it. Server was excellent and made us feel welcome. I was asked if I knew of any pizza parlors served gluten free and of course I recommended Carmine's.“

“Fantastic couple who owns and operates the restaurant. Love the base red sauce flavor, warning though that it’s on the sweeter side.

Great pizza. Wife loves the penne vodka.

They also make Italian desserts for the holidays for takeout sale.“

“Just started ordering from Anthony & Sons all the way from Northeastern PA and couldn't be happier with the selection and fantastic service. Excited to incorporate their breads and rolls into our menu.“

“My husband and I have visited La Strada a number of times over the years. Back in April, after the pandemic, when eating inside was allowed once again, we visited and wasn't happy with the service, nor the meal. But keep in mind, most places were having a difficult time finding help. We thought that we would once again give La Strada a try, and we were very happy and delighted with everything. First, the service was excellent. Upon sitting down, bread, butter and a array of olives were served. We then ordered drinks and dinner. Dinner came with a wonderful house salad. (We loved the house dressing.) My husband order Chicken Marsala and I ordered Chicken Parm. Both meals were excellent and very generous in size. (Enough left overs for another meal.) They obviously had gotten a new chef, who is excellent. Also, they had a number of waiters/waitresses, who were very attentive. They really have greatly improved over our last experience, and we'll be going back soon.“

“Always very nice. Best pizza in area“

“Last night I had chicken francese at Franks. I like plenty of lemon tast and that is how it arrived Portion size allowed take home for today“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

“Best pizza around ! Friendly staff/Good prices“

“Frank's is my go to place for Italian food esp pizza. They Always have an abundance of choices to pick from. They have a large dining room and a giant TV to watch, which is great if you're dining alone. Always very clean and the employees are friendly and courteous. 10 Stars!!!“

“We always love ordering from La Gratella. For big parties we like to order a tray of Cavatelli and Broccoli with chicken in their garlic sauce, it's absolutely delicious! Their lunch specials are also great, my favorite is the chicken francese sub!“

“Brian is a gem, great service and Drinks. Some of the other should take tips from him, not as good but overall service and food is very good. There should be uniformity in cooking, for example the pastrami sloppy joe has been in 2 pcs ,grilled and other times it's 3 pcs toasted, other times it's not grilled or tosted and served sandwich style, 2 pcs. White bread!! Great food and drinks overall, no matter how it's served. Try them and you'll become a regular patron!!

Parking: Parking is very good whole parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, try em you'll see for yourself!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible by wheelchair, from parking to restaurant, whether diner or tavern.“

“Really great slice. I started visiting Chester 25 years ago as a young kid. The thinner than average crust at Bella's stood out to me even then, but still feels true to NJ Style pizza which I strictly classify and golden brown and crispy crust/bottom which achieves those wonderful golden brown micro bubbles. I'm normally skeptical of pizza joints which use a mesh tray to cook, however this place is quite the exception. The mesh tray might be their secret to that really awesome bake on their crust.“

“Frank’s is the best pizza place around! Their food is always so fresh and the waitstaff is great. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!“

“Picked up a pie half plain half mushroom and onion. The crust was crumbly like an ingredient was missing or something. Very wierd first time I've ever had this experience with pizza ,anywhere. Have had food here before and although I was never like," that place is the best". This was my first disappointment with the food.
Editing review:
Giving them 4 stars as I received a quick response from the owner regarding our review and disappointment with the pizza. They offered to make the situation right and stated they value our business. We will give them another try. It's clear they care about their customers.“

“Pepperoni pizza is a flavorful masterpiece, with a perfect balance of toppings on a deliciously crispy crust. The service is friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasure. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this pizzeria is a must-try for authentic Italian pizza lovers.“

“Excellent cappuccino and tasty food“

“They need better ppl to work there there's only 1 person tht puts the perfect sub together otherwise ull have missing or the contents won't b to the ends u can't beat a good ratio n nothing is beating primo Hoagies bread to meat ratio n they have a range of food hot n cold subs n good sides I'd still rather primos then Jersey Mike's any day there ratio is terrible so much meat not enough bread n the bread is terrible“

“have been here 3 times 1 time service and food all excellent .
2 visits not so much on the service .
food always excellent .
went in one night at 730 as i work late it seemed like a inconvience to make food .
so next time i called in to pick up an order on way home at 7pm and walked in 740 . they were cleaning which i can understand everyone wanting to go home as i was .
still felt like an inconvience .
other than that i will still keep coming back as the sandwhiches and sides are all excellent .“
