“Good fresh authentic cuisine! Well prepared and not overly rich salty seasoned etc. You can eat here multiple times a week and feel like you are not over doing it but yet have delicious meals. My new go to restaurant whether it's lunch with colleagues or takeout dinner for the fam!“
“By far our favorite local pizza spot. And the dishes are always excellent. We never eat at the restaurant....only do take out so I can't comment on the in restaurant service but the take out is prompt and if they have any questions about the order, they actually call to make sure they get it correct. Besides the pizza, we love the lasagna, penne with sausage and broccoli rabe and linguine with clam sauce. The ambiance of the restaurant is nothing more than a standard pizzeria with a dining room in the rear.“
“This is a very consistent restaurant. Consistently great service, great food and ambiance. Priced right your dinner consists of soup, house salad, bread and entree. And you can bring your own wine! And no worries if you forget, there is a liquor store next door. Enjoy!“
“I love coming to Uncle Louis! The food is delicious and the service is good as well. The Zuppa de Clams is amazing and so is the pasta. I love the Stuffed Rigatoni Bolognese and Penne Sofia. The pizza is also great and Aldo is the best! I definitely recommend coming here. Good friend and family “
“Very nice cozy decor. Fish special was very tasty but very small portion. Crab cakes were just ok but I am really picky. The short ribs were the fave of the table. Server was very attentive. Owner visited tables and was really friendly which today is rare professionalism. Cappuccinos were great. BYOB which we love. We will be back.“
“This is not your ordinary pizza joint! ....and I ought to know, spending every Sunday at my grandparents where Fanny, my newly imported from Italy step grandmother who spoke absolutely no english would slave in her tiny box kitchen and prepare the most amazing food for her new family .......so I know Italian food and pizza. .......and so does Joe and his son Joseph, where they lovingly make and ferment for 3 days the most amazing dough utilizing imported ingredients .............which is to eventually become the best pizza you will ever eat. This is more akin to the the Pizza you would find in Italy. (think the thinnest, crispiest crust with the perfect charr from the wood burning brick oven.) San Marzano tomatoes.........fresh ricotta.........permesiano cream..........A popular favorite and one I cannot stop ordering is the 'Snow White'....Cows milk mozzarella, Creamy ricotta, Roasted garlic and drizzles with a Back pepper honey and Pecorino ramqo Cheese.....the menu is very edited and includes vegetarian choices and gluten free options. ..........Great wine selections too.....im quickly sampling every chic on the menu and have been no disappointments.. It is great to have a local place that understands the simplicity of fine ingredients and great food.“
“Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef nachos to share and I got the taco with steak and boy do they bless it with the portions! I was visiting and a friend brought me here so definitely would want to come back next time I’m around!“
“Visiting Grumpys for the Pizza Hunters App and was not disappointed. Parking can be tricky. There are only 4 parking spots behind the Pizzeria..I wound up parking across the street and patronizing the Deli as well in the process. I didn't even get all the way inside the door and was greeted immediately with a Hello, Welcome and How are You. Service was excellent and the price point was excellent. A lot of great Pizza for your money. It took me a little to find the words for this Pizza. The Crispy crust is definitely the highlight. Followed by the Sauce and Cheese. Really, the pizza has its own unique style and delivery. It all works. At one point, I thought maybe a little more sauce, since i am a big fan, but once it hits your taste Buds, you realize that it all works perfectly together and that's what makes it unique as a Grumpys Pizza. I give it 5 Pie Ya's.. pie ya, pie ya. Pie ya. Pie ya. Pie ya. I will definitely be back again. Great Job Grumpys..I have to Pizza aside, your Customer Service is top notch as well.“
“Food, service, accommodations, patience, and did I mention the food, especially the pastas were nothing short of amazing. This is the first time in a while where I was impressed with the costumer service of everyone from the hostess to the waiter and all staff. We weren’t rushed whatsoever and somehow sat talking for several hours without the slightest animosity from the staff. I will be back!!Parking: Easy and no valet“

“the pizza was so stringy, and warm, it was definitely hand made and never frozen, the music playing really brings up the mood and was easy to order, a single slice is only 3 bucks (minus tax) and it is very wheelchair friendly, the chairs are not screwed to the floor so you can move chairs for the wheelchair.“
“Went for dinner last night with my husband. A wonderfully unpretentious spot. BYOB. Quite possibly the best Italian food I've ever had. Service was great. I can't believe it took us this long to find. Will absolutely frequent regularly go forward!“
“Huge selection of sandwich options, made with high quality ingredients. I couldn’t believe the size of the sandwiches and at such an affordable price point. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. This place is a gem. I can’t wait to go back!“
“Who knew there could be so many ways to spice up a meatball sub! When I first moved to the area, a local recommended this place. I was intrigued by all the interesting options on the menu and had to try. Although I want to try everything, I love my usual order so much that I haven’t been able to stray. My go to is the Buckwild Balls Sandwich, which I highly recommend. Sometimes the bread is a little burnt, but otherwise cooked to perfection. I will continue going back and maybe one day I’ll feel adventurous enough to stray from my usual!“
“Great food, great service, really nice atmosphere. We met dear friends for dinner and had an awesome evening! Every course was excellent, Stephanie our server was terrific, and as we waited for our ride home, Salih said I am going through Ridgewood I will give you a ride. Wow! Talk about full service.“
“What a WONDERFUL treat!!! When I was a little girl growing up in New York, there was an Argentine Pizzeria that had THE-BEST pizza and empanadas. Unfortunately, the owners retired and moved away. I have searched and search for that perfect crunch of the Argentine pizza and taste….and I FOUND IT at Biby’s!Biby’s offers different types of pizza but if you want to experience AMAZING-NESS, their Argentine Pizza Deluxe is the way to go. Minus the eggs, that is EXACTLY the way I had it growing up. We ate with the sliced hard boiled eggs on top and it was sooooo….GOOD!As soon I saw the round pan and the gentleman building the pizza, my heart was so GLAD…. I said to my myself, “Yes, that’s how I remember the pizza being prepared” The Argentine pizza is a little thicker but so tasty!All of this and I didn’t tell you about the empanadas…. ALSO DEE-LISH, and the Chimichurri sauce is incredible! And a variety of empanadas.The service was incredible, they were really kind and gracious.I traveled a good hour to Biby’s Empanadas & Pizza….the travel was WELL WORTH IT!At home with my family, everything was a HIT!“
“Along with Italian Riviera in Waldwick, this is the preeminent Italian delicatessen in all of Bergen County and its immediate surrounding area. The food is great. A lot of homemade stuff, sandwiches are stuffed, ingredients are top notch. Mom is an excellent cook, her eggplant parm, broccoli rabe are off the charts. Her two boys mainly look after the customers, they're quick, friendly and always smiling. Small storefront, very clean but humongous on the taste buds.“
“My husband and I had a little date night here during the Christmas season and it was quiet good! I work in the area so was pleasantly surprised to discover it was in my stomping ground.The booths were cozy and perfect for the occasion. The food was well seasoned and fresh. The service was decent..I would recommend it.“
“In my opinion, Perusia has the best thin crust pizza in town, we also loved the mussels, ravioli, bolognese, & tortellini. We were there for our Daughters birthday party today, and she and her friends loved the pizza, spaghetti & meatballs, & the pasta pomodoro and had a great time. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice, they held our birthday cake overnight for us and allowed us to decorate the table an hour before hand while the kids were at the escape room in the next shopping center. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. Thank you so much.“
“Yo. This place is it. The truth. Tonight we decided was gonna be a pizza night but my wife specifically wanted PIZZA - like not a tavern style bar pie or a Patsy's/Angelo's NY margarita type. Old school pizza, pizza. Bob's delivered. Literally. From Tappan to Upper Saddle River they brought some of the best "plain" slices I've had since moving to NJ - and it showed up quick, hot and totally in tact. We fking loved this pizza. There are more than a few great places to get Pizza near us - but I'm absolutely thrilled to add this one to the regular rotation. Tonight I'll drink to Bob's. May they stay in business forever! Here here.“
“I attended a group dinner here at the end of January. While the food was amazing, I was most appreciative of the service. We were made to feel special and it really helped to elevate the experience. And I haven't stopped thinking about the parmesan cauliflower bites - so good!!!“
“We love this place the chicken parm pizza is amazing since the new owners took over it's better then before there friendly sandwiches are better they take credit cards and there delivery is more efficient there even open on Sundays there pizza amazing and sandwiches are plentiful great family “
“Very friendly and attentive staff! This was a great experience. Bread came out with a plate of delicious mozzarella and tomato in olive oil (complimentary). I had shrimp parm that was very tasty. Loved the sauce. I ordered it with the roasted potatoes, and although I thought they were a bit lacking in flavor (need some spice or something), I was so happy that I had a choice of pasta, salad, or potato. My husband had the chicken sorrentino and really liked that too. He ordered it with a salad and that also was good. We ordered two desserts. Cannoli was good, but I've had better. My husband really enjoyed the banana pudding. Then they gave us zeppoles on the house, which we had to take home as we were already stuffed with good food. Highly recommend this place!“
“I come here every once in a while. It's quite nice, the food is really good and reasonably priced. They also have a nice selection of gluten-free menu options. I'm not gluten-free, but recently, it's been something I look out for and notice because I love someone who is Celiac. Most recently, I came for my birthday, and they were able to modify items on the menu to custom create what I was looking for! (always a plus)Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It's on one level with no steps but tight might be hard to navigate with a chair“
“Excellent service, the food is great, good portions, good presentation, Ms. Giovanna is very jealous with the presentation of the food and always attentive to the smallest detail, it is a place that I would definitely recommend 100%, it is small and very busy so the waiting time is a bit long.“
“I’ve written more than one review here, probably with multiple emails, or maybe the same one. Who knows. Going on a tour de Bergen County with reviews since I no longer live in the area, and have come to find how incredibly spoiled us Bergen County folks are for the food we have access to. This place is one of them. I’ve never had pizza this good inside or outside of Bergen County. Miss this place a lot, even the lovely owners, and I stop in every trip back to get a slice that I eat straight away—because it’s the only way. Gonna have to plan another trip. Perfecto pizza. Probably can only get better in literal Italy.“
“Another fantastic dinner at my favorite place. Short rib ravioli appetizer was scrumptious. Chicken Milanese was crispy and perfectly cooked. My husband's absolute favorite dish, almond crusted sea bass over risotto was perfection. The wait staff is always friendly and accommodating. Love, love, Mezza Luna.“
“UPDATE AT THE END;I ordered online ahead of time to have my order ready on time, when I arrived in the store, the worker at the counter was choosing his priorities of personal life over the customers.He left me waiting there while my food was getting soggy more and more by the minute..He was busy catching up with some friends..When I spoke up and asked if my order is ready, the friend backed off to let me through to the counter, but this lovely worker took the opportunity to now call another friend over Video call to show him who just came in to the store.......To the business owner, if you want to have a good name, please make sure to talk to the worker that worked at the counter on March 30th at 11:45 - 11:55 pm.----UPDATE.A few minutes after posting the review, I got a reply from the owner that he will look into this.The next morning I got a call from him that he looked at the CCTV footage and wants to hear more details from me.I gave him the full story and he said that he will talk to the worker.I got a call from him not too long after the initial call, and he clarified what the story was and that the company is taking full responsibility on this.Now, after this I can proudly say, the customers service is 10 out of 5, awesome and amazing to deal with responsible people, a mistake is a mistake.“
“What a marvelous restaurant Chef Vittorio has created in Sparkhill !!!As you walk in , you know you’re in for an old school experience infused with Vittorio’s talent!!Very attentive , knowledgeable and friendly service.Thin layered eggplant, Millefoglie Di Melanzane Alla Mamma Carolina ( his mother’s recipe), Polipo as tender as can be and a Carpaccio Di Manzo were some of the appetizers we had that were outstanding, followed by some amazing pasta and finished with Tonno Alla Putanesca that was OFF THE CHARTS and a perfectly done Berkshire Tomahawk Pork Chop!!Maestro, thank you for a wonderful experience!!“
“This little pizzeria has the cutest little front. It's across the street from the library and it has little seats outside. You could sit and have a nice cuppa coffee or slice of pizza. We like the chicken buffalo and a lot of the margarita pizzas. I love the calzones everything has been pretty good.“
“A birthday destination for sure. The food is excellent and "from scratch "! The service was attentive and all of the staff friendly and knowledgeable. It is a small business so the feeling is very intimate. Their Nutella pie is absolutely delicious and unlike any dessert I have ever had. Even though I am not a Nutella affectionata it has a flavor beyond compare.“
“We had my Dad's 90th birthday party here. Brianna and her staff went above and beyond to make it incredible. The food was exceptional. Their service was first rate. They accomodated us arriving early to decorate and gather all our guests for the surprise party. They worked too make sure everything was perfectThe food? Oh goodness! Delicious and plentiful. Everyone was raving how delicious it was and that there was easy more than enough for all.I would highly recommend you plan an event here or just go for dinner. My only regret is that I can't leave a more than 5 star rating.Thank you so very much for memories everyone will carry for years“
“I recently needed early lunch reservations for a family gathering on a Saturday afternoon. Although the restaurant doesn't open until 4 PM, the owner was kind enough to open early to accommodate my family for a birthday celebration. This was our first time visiting Ciao Bella. It's a very quaint BYOB Italian bistro. The food was phenomenal, the service excellent and the experience delightful. Thank you to the owner for allowing us to come in early. Thank you to Emily our server who attended to our every need. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and highly recommend your excellent food and atmosphere. :-)“
“If you want top notch food and service, you need go to this restaurant. I first went to Justin's few years ago. We don't get to go as much now because we have moved, but it's as delicious as ever! We took my children here for my bday dinner. We drove few minutes because we love this place so much.“
“I have always been satisfied by the personalized service and attentive care. The, "Side Salad", is a nutrient rich choice of true vegetables, not just thrown together mishmash. The waiter and , "busboy", kept up to whatever I needed, wanted, or didn't need. I had extra help to my car with take-home foods. I dined alone, but they made it special. The drinks and wine were excellent, too.“
“WE SAW THE PROGRAM WITH GORDON RAMSEY, NIGHTMARE KITCHENS USA, AND WE WERE STRIKED BY THE SERIOUSNESS AND GREAT WILL OF ANTONIO, WHO FOR BEING SO YOUNG IS ALREADY A WINNER.WE WANTED TO ASK IF YOU DO HOME DELIVERIES IN EUROPE, WE WOULD LIKE A PIZZA MADE BY ANTONIO.GREETINGS FROM ITALIAN SWITZERLAND.“
“We have lived in the area for 20 years and have always wanted to come to Sanzari's. Not only was the food superb but the hospitality and ambiance also made our evening more enjoyable. Gus, our waiter, was so kind, helpful and made the dining experience worthwhile! Highly recommend coming here!!“
“Recently enjoyed a fabulous experience at Dolce Vita! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the staff are exceptionally welcoming, and every dish we tried was a delight. Truly a hidden gem that captures the sweet life in every bite. Can’t recommend it enough!“
“I stopped into La Bona Pizza after a drive up in Old Tappan and tried a slice of their cheese pizza. It is excellent!. The sauce has so much flavor and that makes the base of the pizza. They are a little on the pricy side but it is well worth it. The rest of their pizzas on display looked really good but they were $4.00 a slice which was a little high for me but there were some creative topping like Chicken Parm and Baked Ziti.“
“Old school Italian with large servings of excellent food. It is in a somewhat sad looking strip mall with not much curb appeal. But don't let that throw you off. The interior is nice and the staff friendly.Be aware the place looks like it's been there forever -- the word is out with locals and regulars so it can get crowded at peak hours.“
“Cool new spot in town! I was reluctant to try this place out but I decided to give it a try after seeing a nice crowd in there. It turns out there is a new owner, he just kept the name of the place the same. A mistake in my opinion but at least he did one good thing. He hired a great bartender named I know from Barrel and Brew. This guy can make a great drink and he is so personable. He interacts well with guests and designed a great menu of drinks. I enjoyed a couple of delicious margaritas while I was there. They also had a DJ named Bronson playing some great music. I look forward to seeing how this place does because I've always said this spot would make a great bar because of the nice patio outside. It would make a great hangout for the summer. I can't really comment on the food because I only tried an order of wings but they were good. The ambience though gave me reason to believe this place could make it at this spot.“
“Came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. Absolutely fabulous from start to finish! The staff is warm and friendly yet professional. Eduardo, our server was attentive and on top of everything throughout the course of our dinner. From apps to entrees not a detail was overlooked. Now the food... I can't put into words how the flavors and quality of food are by far top notch. Sooo good!!! This place is a hidden gem and the food, drinks and service is amazing! Definitely will be back!!“
“Had a wonderful experience at al di la! We arrived a little before 12 pm and was empty so we got to enjoy the quiet but it got filled up while we were sitting. The atmosphere is calm. There isn't a very bug menu but the food is really good. We had their famous salad pizza and didn't disappoint! We also ordered a hot coca which was perfect for this cold rainy day and a delicious salmon pizzaoili. The Eggplant rollantini was good as well. Will definitely be coming back here!“
“I’ve been to Giulios restaurant and had the best dinner, the food was amazing the staff and the owner were very friendly and professional. They made me feel like I am family . The atmosphere is clean and very inviting. I highly recommend.“
“I kept seeing this place online so my husband and I decided to try it out. Their options at the bar are beyond expectations. The service was impeccable. We truly enjoyed our experience, and the food? Amazing... the calamari was phenomenal, the cacio e pepe balls i can eat all day, and my husband's favorite was this glazed pork chop. We'll be back!“
“If it’s brunch, lunch or dinner Just Janice is the perfect spot. Amazing staff and great food. Couple favorites are the pancakes for brunch, fish tacos for lunch and for dinner definitely penne vodka. Janice and Ali are so sweet and treat everyone like family!“
“Some of the absolute best food I've ever had. Fusilli bolognese and spicy rigatoni w/ shrimp are dynamite. Their newly renovated speakeasy is wonderful; they offer their full dinner menu either at the bar or at one of their comfy and intimate tables. The bartenders know what they're doing; their cocktails are delicious! Saturday nights they have a DJ that goes on at 10pm and really gets the crowd going. Highly recommended. Reservations are a must on Friday and Saturday for dinner.“
“Why aren’t more people talking about this place??!!!??My friends and I went tonight night for dinner and drinks because we saw they had the speakeasy and we love that vibe.We decided to sit at the bar. Immediately, the bartender, Steven/Stephen, starts telling us about the place and it’s rich history. He was so kind and helpful the whole night. He made sure he connected with us for a great experience.We ordered espresso martinis, because obviously. They were INCREDIBLE. You can get it with or without Baileys which was nice. We even got decaf espresso. The level of sweetness was just right. The foam was foaming. They were truly a treat. 10/10. I also ordered a Tiramisu martini which came with a lady finger on top. This was a little stronger but still nice and creamy with great foam. 9/10.The food was absolutely DIVINE. He told us the food is made fresh because they don’t have a freezer..?!?!!? Impressive if true. We started off with the Arancini because they are my religion. Mouthwatering. The rice was perfectly cooked. The crispy outside was amazing. The flavors melded together well. 10/10. I had the Spicy Rigs. It was made with homemade pasta…!!!!!!!!!! I am not a pasta girly but when it’s homemade…consider me a pasta girly. The sauce was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes really came through. I wish the Calabrian chilis poked through a little more for more of a spice. However, the flavors were still balanced. 9/10.The vibes were immaculate! We got there about 7. A DJ started playing music around 9:30. It turned into a club vibe which was shocking. The music was blaring so it did become hard to hear each other. The music was still good though.They do have HH Monday - Friday which seems like really great deals on drinks/food.I would 100000000% come back here and recommend it to anyone. I hope to try their sister restaurant soon, Hudson Prime Steakhouse, which is the only steakhouse in Irvington apparently!!!For me to live in Westchester all my life and to not have heard of this place before is crazy! It was so good.“
“After a night of no sleep and a rough work day I dreaded the thought of going home to cook dinner. I didn't want to order fast food garbage. I went into my Facebook page and saw this fabulous photo of trays of chicken caprese. Wow. It looked amazing. Having never tried it and Doms being on my way home, I figured I'd give it a try. I was greeted by Michael who was super nice and even asked me how my day was! So sweet. I brought my tray home happy to warm it up and serve up to my family. They loved it! I loved it too. It warmed up nicely and hubby and I were able to have some for lunch the next day! A home cooked meal on a busy week night for $40? I'm sold. 4 meals at McDonald's is about $40 these days or more! Hello Doms, Goodbye Fast Food.“

“When Claudia is crafting your sandwiches, you can rest assured that they'll be absolutely delightful. This place offers great value, reliability, and speed. Despite their efficiency, the food still retains that comforting homemade taste and feel. I wholeheartedly recommend it with a perfect score of 10/10!“
“There a few Pizza places in town. This is the best one, most likely bec of the fresh ingredients and the brick oven. Everything taste better with brick oven IMO. We got half buffalo and half CBR, amazing. Service is fast and super friendly.“
