Scaturro's Pizzeria & Cafe

Last day of our NYC visit and my family was beat & starving after all the walking around Manhattan & navigating the subways/ transit to return to Cranford, NJ where we parked our car at a friends house. It was late night and we wanted one more slice of heaven before our next long drive to southern Delaware, when our friend recommended Scaturro’s Pizzaria & Cafe. Being a family of four, everyone wanted a different slice, and they accommodated us with no questions. They even made a fresh pie so we could have two slices. The owner Francesco introduced himself and enhanced our experience with conversation about the area and his recipes. I had a slice of the sausage, which was amazing, you can tell it’s fresh ground and not some store bought frozen brand. The pasta dishes surrounding us looked legit and I was tempted to order the Fettuccine Alfredo after three other tables ordered it right next to us. The atmosphere & owner made us feel like we were invited to eat in his home and we weren’t just another transaction, but a friend visiting for dinner. It was a byob, so the table next to us shared a glass of white with my wife when we tried to order some. My daughter even surprised us when she crowned her Margherita slice even better than Brooklyn’ Famous Grimaldi’s which we had earlier for lunch and at the time was her favorite of all time. If you get the chance, skip the fast food and experience life with Francesco’s authentic Italian eatery, you’ll love the vibe & food. The prices also didn’t break the bank, which is very welcomed for families living through high inflation.

Kid-friendliness: Our waiter & owner explained the different pizza slices & ingredients to our kiddos who are now at that age to transition from just cheese pizza to explore more ingredients & recipes.

Service was terrible, food was cold and overpriced. Bread was burnt and "washing the dishes" entailed a 14 year old boy!!! wiping down dirty ones with a dirty nag (no water or soap). Chef was completely oblivious to how to actually make the meals with multiple other customers complaining in the restaurant that the chef didn't even make them their meal remotely properly. I have to call my credit card company to make sure the kid who also handled the cashier didn't charge me for another persons meal. WORST RESTAURANT EVER!!!!

New Owner is the nicest guy u will meet great for authentic Italian food and pizza

Fantastic food and service! And the drunkin chicken parm sandwiches are to die for ?

Had pizza from the new owners for the first time. The pizza was excellent!!!!! The staff and the owner, Francesco, were so nice. Nice that they are all Italian. You know the food is going to be good. Will definitely be coming back. Can't wait to try their food.

I stayed at a local hotel and ordered fried calamari with a plain pie and a Margherita. Everyone enjoyed the meal.The pies and the delivery guy were so awesome, I had to see if they could duplicate the great pie and service. Scatturro's Pizza did. Highly recommended.

I went yesterday for the first time and ordered a cheese pizza. I think I've tried every pizzeria within a 10 mile radius looking for good pizza and I've finally found the best. The pizza was amazing and the staff is so friendly.

Tonight was our 3rd time dining in once again we got the thin crust pizza well done it's incredibleFrancesco is an amazing host and chef Very nice experience for casual dining food is great The marinara was exceptional

My new go-to restaurant for pizza and dinners. The new owner, Francesco, is friendly and welcoming, greeting everyone that comes in as if they’re family coming for Sunday dinner. Being both Italian born, he and I instantly hit it off.The pizza is tasty and flavorful. The dinners IMHO are the best in the area. Francesco’s nonna’s Sunday Gravy consists of a brachiole, a giant meatball, and a chunk of rib served over pappardelle, and the serving is big enough to share. It was delicious (definitely a 10 out of 10!), and just as good as my mother’s. Looking forward to going back and trying something new.

Love the pizza! Thin crust and well done just the way I like it. Meatballs also very good. My cousin ordered the ragu and raved about it. Owner was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back and referring.

Loved the pizza. Thin crust and well done just the way I like it. My cousin had the ragu and raved over it. Will definitely be ordering more often and referring.

Heard rumblings about o solo Mio and my girlfriend and I snd are 2 daughters decided to try it but when I checked online, said it was closed. We called and the owner told us to come on in. We were the only table there and he came out and set with us , shared his wine and made me a special meal due to my many allergies. I can’t say enough about this establishment . I ordered a veal chop with wine and mushrooms and spicy brussel sprouts. Delicious ! Go and enjoy before you can’t get a table! Francesco Is the best!

They’ve changed owners and I have to say we’ve come weekly or every other week the last few months and haven’t had a bad meal yet. The pizza is delicious, and usually get a pasta which is always good.
