“It's rare to find a local pizzeria with this many vegan options but Nick's has it and you'll be struggling to choose what to order. Vegan cheese is great and so are their mock meats for sandwiches and toppings. Updated from previous review on 2023-06-04“
“Expect a long wait to be seated. No reservations and cash only. Service a little slow, but that's because they were packed. Put that aside because once you start eating, you won't care about anything else. Reasonably pricedENJOY!Vegetarian options: The usual selection eggplant, pasta and delicious arugula salad.Parking: Free parking after 6 pm. Take advantage of that.“
“This place is a hidden gem! One would never expect such a fine dining experience when entering this quaint, though unassuming, restaurant. The grilled octopus salad appetizer was fresh and perfectly seasoned, My daughter loved her seafood pescatore and had plenty left to take home and my wife loved her lobster ravioli. I had the grilled swordfish special which came with a portion that was literally as big as my forearm and grilled to perfection. Best version of that dish I’ve ever eaten. Will definitely be visiting this establishment regularly going forward.“
“Gotta say I've been hearing great things about this place for a while. Finally went last week and I still cannot stop thinking about it. The food was INCREDIBLE! Top notch chef at this restaurant. I can't wait to go back. Only advice I have is definitely make a reservation because it gets packed.“
“I ordered the Fra Diavolo pizza and it was exquisite! The sauce, spices, calamari, tomato sauce,, scallops, shrimp, parmigiana, reggiano and pizza all combined to make a perfectly balanced spicy, but not, overwhelming dish. I only needed a small glass of vino to accompany this dish. The spices and pizza balanced each other, fanatastic!“
“The service and hospitality was spot on. My family visited after a basketball tournament in the area. The pizza was great and the cheesesteak was good. The chicken Ceasars salad was probably one of the best I've ever had. Will definitely return when we're in the area.“
“The pizza was amazing! The salad they went above and beyond on grilling zuchinni, which was an added vegetable I requested. The Buffalo chicken was strong and possibly fried, the Alfredo one was so buttery I wished I just got 3 of those slices, but each slice definitely had a fantastic flavor profile and you can mix and match to find your favorite. Service was fast they had upwards or 3 - 4 drivers delivering at any moment. The only downside was it was small, but I'd go back in a heartbeat.“
“I normally frequent another pizzeria in town. A friend suggested a visit to Che Pizza. I’m glad I finally did.The melanzane pie brings me back to Italy, and it’s become a craving on meatless Fridays. The ingredients — eggplant, ricotta, marinara, basil — are fresh and tasty. The Capri wrap (tender grilled chicken, broccoli rabe, & fresh mozzarella) is also another must have — pure garlic goodness.Dario, one of the owners, efficiently runs the front of the house. He takes orders at the counter, expedites, and answers the phone. He is quite charming! Looking forward to trying other menu items.“
“Took a chance on this place when we were ordering pizza. I've ordered from many other places and I've found some good some bad and some that are run of the mill aka nothing to write home about. O Sole Mio knocks it out of the park whether you're getting pizza or pasta. They're sauce is top notch. The crust on their pies are just right. This will be our go to from now on when we want pizza!“
“Edison Pizza is by far the best Italian restaurant you will find. They have many entrée choices and the food will have you returning again and again. The owner, Roberto goes out of his way to accommodate everyone who dines in or who chooses to order for delivery. Their prices are also very reasonable in today's market. 5 out of 5 Stars! ?“
“Pizzas were amazing. If you are looking for that authentic Indian desi taste for pizzas in NJ look no further this is the place to be. The atmosphere is vibrant and the service is excellent pizzas were ready before expected pick up time. Only downside price is a little on the higher side.“
“@woodstacknjmetuchen !!Compliments to the Chef!Food was amazing!!Our Server Annette C. was awesome!!Thank you for a great dinning experience!!Looking forward to returning!!Another visit:This restaurant recommended by my friendBernadette who lives in Metuchen.Spur of the moment, we decided to go out to eat on a rainy Saturday.We arrived and didn't have reservations.Wait time would have been about 45 minutes.But then seats opened up at the bar!Our Bartender/ Server Katelyn P. was fantastic!!Answered questions about menu, suggested recommendations.Checked in on us! Thank you Food was amazingly delicious!!!The burrata de Giorno-mmmmm mmmmm good!!!Loved my pasta-tagliatelle pasta with prosciutto.The baked bread was so so good!Soft on the inside, crust crispy!Bread baked at the restaurant!!!Highly recommend!Parking on site!“
“came in tonight at 8pm with a reservation. staff was great and attentive. they were very busy and still managed to handle every it professionally. the food was amazing..1- new buffalo lemon pepper wings of the charts good. 2- house salad with the homemade balsamic dressing.3- rigatoni bolognese best i’ve ever had with a creamy scoop of fresh ricotta. 4- chicken frances’s best in the state, cut it with a fork. a must try place hidden gem. owner goes to every table to make sure everything is ok. you can tell they care about their product and place. they were out of dough so no pizza but it didn’t matter.“
“It was my first time trying Massa Roman Square Pizza and I was so impressed. You can see that they use fresh ingredients. The dough is fermented for 3 days and you can taste difference from any other local pizzeria. Definitely stop by and give them some time to make you an exceptional pie. We’ll be coming back to try some of their other pies“
“Even if the restaurant looks a bit unusual from the outside right next to the laundromat: don't miss out on a visit! Super friendly, attentive service and absolutely delicious, freshly prepared food! Absolute recommendation! we'd love to come back! Thanks!“
“I have been looking for a pizzeria that gets it right in my area for a while. After reading all the positive reviews I decided to try this place out. The pizza (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms) was excellent! Definitely plan to go back again.“
“Very good pizza even though I wanted it cut Chicago style they said we are in New Jersey. I say I guess we are not at burger king by having it our way lol (Smaller squares are easier to eat Ms less messy ? Ok that don't stop me from coming to have some very good pizza.“
“I'll never pass on an opportunity to try a good vodka slice, and Keke's Pizzeria offers a great one with a delicious sauce. The Sicilian slice is surprisingly light with a very crispy crust. In my opinion, it rivals L&B Spumoni Gardens. Yes, it's *that* good. I also love the fact that they're open and serving pizza at 10am because some of us pizza addicts need a slice for breakfast.“
“Love this gourmet style pizza! Have only ordered take out, but the pizzas come in fresh and delicious. The sauce is not too sweet or salty, has a bit of tangy sourness to it that I like. This will be my spot from now on. Looking forward to trying their other dishes and dining in person one day!“
“I stumbled across this place on my way back home (I was in town from out of state) and it was incredible. Possibly the highlight of my trip. The staff was hilarious and welcoming and the food was delicious. If I'm ever in this area again, I will be coming back.“
“I attended a party at 12 noon in the dining room on Saturday - the appetizers were bountiful, the salad was plentiful, and so fresh! A huge bowl of penne vodka followed !! chicken francaise was tender and delicious, no fork needed.My family and I will definitely be “
“I been living in Metuchen for about 14 years and had meals and pizza from numerous places here but L&L in Metuchen is the best I had ever..Even better than Staten Island pizza..Grew up there.The thin crust pizza is excellent and the heroes and dinners are the best too..You got to try them.. Thanks L&L. You guys are the Best..GOD “
“From the owner to the workers being friendly. Every time my wife and I go in there, we are greeted with smiles and hi. They ask us how we are doing. The pizza is fresh and not greasy like most places. The chocolate cake is so delicious. The right amount of chocolate. My new number one place for pizza.“
“This place is amazing. This is mind-blowing. Bedazzling. Phenomenal. The selection and kid friendly environment all mix together to make Metuchen's greatest ice cream shop. You have too many options. I just can't pick whenever I go! They all seem so good! This place is perfect the way it is, but keep making adjustments however you like! Catering is also a good way, and schools here in Metuchen have held you guys multiple times. Thank you for making this shop happen!Vegetarian options: Good market for it. Good portion and selection but I'm not vegan, but supporting the vegetarians like this is pretty cool.Kid-friendliness: The best way for kids to enjoy themselves in the Metuchen Downtown, and there's a little arcade table that is enjoyable.Wheelchair accessibility: Can be accessed easily, with the place being at the same elevation, directing a good environment for handicapped.“
“The owner is wonderful.. helped me a lot with coming up with the menu for my kid’s birthday party at the Slime Factory. All the suggestions were spot on- amount of food, drinks, dessert, types of food.. the food was a big hit. Kids and adults loved it. The delivery service was phenomenal. No hassle.. On time. Wonderful!!! If I can give this place more stars- I would. Thank you so much!!!“
“Arties (formerly Arturos) is the best pizza in NJ IMHO. The crust has so much flavor. It is the only pizza my daughter will eat. I like it simple - the margherita pizza is my fave.The Telefono pasta and the orecchiette picante are our favorite pastas.Now that there is more space, we haven’t had to wait during weekend lunch. Dinner is still probably crowded but the wait shouldn’t be as bad. There is a small lot in the back - otherwise you have to search for street parking which can be challenging.“

“This was our first time visiting La Famiglia and the service was exceptional the food was amazing the atmosphere and the music was great while we ate and conversed amongst each other . GREAT OVERALL EXPERIENCE! ! We will definitely be back !“
“Amazing pizza. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly. I appreciate how hard they worked to ensure my experience was top-notch. They made sure to see if I needed anything, such as what type of hot sauce, or ice for my beverage.I think it has been years since I received this level of caring and engagement from a restaurant. I'm truly grateful to stop by. This place treats one like family.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the exquisite Mozzarella restaurant, as a celebration for our group that consisted of 70 people. I must say, it was an experience to remember. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. The management team was exceptional. And the owner himself ensured that every detail of our dining experience was perfect.The ambiance of the restaurant was simply stunning, with soft lighting, elegant decor, and a cozy atmosphere that made us feel relaxed and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with attentive waitstaff who were always on hand to cater to our every need.And let's talk about the food - it was out of this world! Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with the Mediterranean flavor mixed with the Italian and American tastes. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delight for the taste buds.Overall, Mozzarella is a gem of a restaurant that truly stands out for its great management, dedicated staff, amazing food, and beautiful setting. I can't wait to go back and experience it soon in my friend’s birthday party. Highly recommended!“
“Easy online ordering and cheap daily/monthly specials. The owners and crew are always friendly and the food is always delicious. Friday pizza special is an awesome deal with one topping. Place is always clean and their freezer section is enormous. Lots to choose from. Parking isn’t great but isn’t terrible. Thanks for always dishing out awesome food! Glad I live close.“
“Hands down the best pizza we have ever had the delight of eating. BOMB! Cheese is savory with right amount of saltiness. Sauce is rich and flavorful. A smokey, thin crust that is crunchy from start to finish. Thick cut cup pepperoni that is slightly charred for ultimate flavor. Doesn't get any better. Top reccommendation: Arugula pie with balsamic drizzle, pepperoni, and hot honey. WOWAs for the location, it's a small place with a relaxed vibe. Has a couple tables, a bar with TV's, and tastey Blue Moon on tap. Staff is very friendly so that's always elevates an establishment in my book :)✸✸✸✸✸“
“Customer for years. Friendly service, quick pick up time, and literally the best pizza within 10 miles.Actual pizza with a fantastic sauce. LARGE slices if you come in for a quick slice and quick service if you're pressed for time. Not overpriced like many places in the area.Dinners are a good deal and the chicken parm never disappoints.“
“Best place around. The food, the atmosphere, the customers, and the staff. Can’t get any better than that. I recently forgot my purse there on a football Sunday. Got it back and everything was still inside. Cash and all. If I had forgotten it anywhere else, I wouldn’t have been so lucky.“
“First time yesterday with friends that rave about this place. I can see why. Seems like they have a very active takeout business based on the line at the counter, but we were there for dinner. Very pleasant and attentive wait staff, and the food is really outstanding. We shared some PEI mussels which were cooked to perfection, had some fra diavlo dipping sauce as well which was just the right amount of heat. Not particularly noisy which made for easy conversation. All of us had some type of pasta dish; tastes like the pasta is homemade and perfectly cooked, al dente. Desserts equally tasty and byob keeps the bill reasonable. Will definitely return.“
“I am looking for a new pizza place since my favorite closed and I moved to a different area. A friend suggested u try this place. The service was great. The pizza was really good. It is a little different than what I normally tend to like, the crust was quite thin, but this was good. Very good taste. I'll have it again.“
“Our office manager, Cara, catered our holiday luncheon today from this well-regarded establishment. The dishes were all excellent with frequent raves for the two versions of shrimp. The fra diavolo with the nicely peppery kick came in for special praise. The shrimp parmigiana was wonderful. The rigatoni Bolognese was top shelf. Not to be overlooked the penne with broccoli was perfectly prepared. Its garicky aroma perfumed the table setting. Plenty of nutritious greens with tasty balsamic dressing, fire-oven pan just right for dipping in the red sauces and not to be forgotten, the eggplant parmagiana and standard sausage and peppers fare disappeared quickly. Folks here at Penske South Plainfield know delicious foods when they see and smell it. All kudos to Mario and his people for pleasing this bunch of workers.“
“I ordered garlic cheese bread and lamb cheese bread and chicken achari pizza and Mediterranean combo twist and everything was on point.only disappointment was they didn't have halal wings or at least not yet I was looking fwd for mango habanero wings .the guy said they coming soon.“
“Ordered through Uber eats and was so good I wanted to leave a positive review! I got the Brooklyn hot honey pizza and I was a little unsure about the goat cheese when choosing and figured I would give it a shot. it’s the best touch and a mild goat cheese, the arugula really gives it a fresh balanced flavor too. The pretzel was soft on the inside with the perfect crisp on the outside and the everything bagel seasoning actually stays on the pretzel! Thanks for dinner!“
“I have been going to Blaze pizza for about a year now. Love their pizza! This evening, I stopped by and ordered my usual. A salad and build your own pie. Shortly after I left, both pizza and salad flipped over and fell in my car. I was very upset. I turned around and went back to Blaze. I spoke to the manager, Antiy(I'm sure I butchered his name), explained what happened and he made me another pie and salad on the house. I didn't have to pay anything! Really grateful for his service and will continue to buy pizza there!“
“Great pizzeria! Slices are all square, more grandma style than Sicilian. I have been numerous times and doesn't disappoint. Salads are amazing, and I don't often care much about the salads. Try the salad with the sliced pears. It is awesome!“
“This pizza place deserves a solid five stars! The pizza is consistently delicious with a perfect balance of crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and quality toppings. The menu offers a variety of creative options alongside classic choices, satisfying every pizza craving. The service is prompt, and the staff is friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Whether dining in or opting for delivery, the pizza arrives hot and fresh. Affordable prices and generous portions make it a go-to spot for pizza lovers. A must-try for anyone seeking a delightful pizza experience!“
“First I want to start off by saying those fried Oreos were beyond amazing. The service was amazing the cooks enjoyed what they were doing and the kind gentleman talking with us couldn't have done anything different offering us water in the meantime. Thats service right there. In case anyone is confused it is located on the corner stairs of union diner in Route 22. I think everyone should come here, they open late and food will never disappoint. This store has become a icon for people around the area and no one should never stop coming here. Show all ur love and support to this location because they always put love and passion into the food they serve.“

“We are just coming in from out of town and decided to stop and get pizza for the family. Initially when walking in, you are greeted with a nice clean and friendly atmosphere. We placed our order and waited it for it to be ready, upon receiving our order there was a miscommunication with our order so I went back to let them know. They were so nice about it all and offered to deliver it to us so we could bring the rest of the food back to the family! Thank you for your kindness and GREAT food!Parking: It's not easy to find a parking space here since they share a lot with a few other stores but it's worth it!“
“Vinnies makes an excellent thin crust pan pizza. Another rare find where all 3 of pizza 's main ingredients are exceptional. My son and I have a painting business and make a point of trying pizza wherever our work takes us. Vinnies is among the best we have had. If you are pizza snobs like us you will appreciate Vinnies.“
“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.“
“We love coming to this pizza shop - almost every week. The owners are so personable and caring. The pizza is fresh and the flavors change frequently.My kids feel right at home and run through the door to chatter away to them about their days.I look forward to playing billiards as well sometime soon.Kid-friendliness: We love them and they love our kids ?“
“The most delicious eggplant parmigiana sandwich I have had in almost forever!!! Just the perfect balance of everything! And the BREAD! Beyond fabulous. I drove 36 miles to try this bread and I’m soooo glad I did. I will be back a lot!! My photo does not do this deliciousness any justice , just trust me!!!“
“Their customer service here was phenomenal and impeccable. The pizzas were really good as well.I called to place a very large order over the phone, and they were extremely helpful and very accommodating. They definitely have earned my business there. Thank you once again for everything.“
“I caught up with my friend here yesterday and so glad we chose this place. We were there for over 4 hours. They let us stay as long as we wanted. Everyone there was so nice and the food was delicious. Their pizza was some of the best I have had in Jersey. Highly recommend.“
