“@BigDudesBigFoods was invited up to @Pats.Barin #MountArlingtonNJ today. We were told it was a dive bar with a more upscale menu and that's exactly what we found. We started with the "Crispy Chicken Teriyaki" over #JasmineRice with #RoastedPeppers Next, we had a grilled chicken sandwich on Ciabatta with Arugula, Roasted Peppers and #FreshMootz Our 3rd course was #PatsWingshalf Buffalo and half Bourbon and we ended our culinary adventure with a #JumboPretzel because jumbo is are thing. If it says jumbo, giant, colossal or anything of that nature on the menu, we are probably going to order it. #PatsBar was clean, decorated for halloween and surprisingly had customers at 3pm when arrived after work. The food was delicious and the staff was fun and friendly and made you want to stay longer but you can only eat so much. . #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday“
“The whole wheat personal veggie pie is amazing!!!!! I had their regular veggie pie once and was amazed with the quality of their veggies, the amount they put on, and the best part it was crispy. They topped it with the thin whole wheat crust veggie. Same amount of veggies with less crust. I am so happy I found this place for my pizza fix. Awesome pizza!“
“This place is phenomenal. Not just the food, the service, but also the prices. You feel welcomed and you will definitely want to return. They have been around for a long time and this the reason why. I would definitely recommend you chedck thisnplace out.“
“Claude & Joe Branda are amazingThey’re accommodating with last minute reservations even when their books are full.Their staff is amazing for the big parties & for the small tables - lot of local kids - which is great they support the local community.I live in nyc & I know the food I get at brandas is probably better than what I get in the city.Love having family gather there - & the food is out of this world.It’s BYOB which is also niceDon’t miss out on the shrimp with garlic sauce“
“Even though Google says they open at 11 am. I called to push my luck and to my surprise they were open and I called them at 10:30 am! The owner of the restaurant Anthony picked up the phone. He is the most sweetest man I have ever spoke with on the phone. This is my first time ordering a huge order for my work place and he helped me plan everything and I was so nervous to because it's my first ordering for my work place and trying out NJ pizza. I only know NYC pizzas lol. I am getting off topic here. I highly recommend this place for anyone. They are so welcoming and you can definitely tell they care about their clients needs. Their pizzas is just as good as NYC.“
“Stopped in based on reviews. We are not local, but needed a place to eat after visiting Grandma at a nearby physical rehab facility. We had a 3 hour drive home so we wanted to grab something before heading home. Gotta say, they reviews were right! The food was delicious. My son, who is autistic and therefore a picky eater, would not stop raving about this burger for three days. He said if was the best burger he ever had (not that he is a connoisseur, but still, he is 18 and has eaten lots of burgers). He says he wished that Vinny and Sons would open a location in Delaware. ?It isn't the typical sit down restaurant that I thought if would be, but I didnt really read the info at length before stopping in. I just saw the great food reviews and stopped in. There are 3 tables, so it's obviously more of a take out kind of place, but it was very nice that they had provided a few for anyone who wanted to sit and eat (we preferred to eat at a table than in our car). The service was wonderful and then place was very clean. Lots of variety with the menu choices and a nice selection of grab and go drinks from the refrigerator case (plus fountain soda). Sussex county is lucky to have such a nice family-owned business!“
“Heading to Hopatcong State Park and my husband remembered this little pizza place made excellent pizza. He brought out 3 slices. I'm from NY, my mom is from Brooklyn, we know pizza. I have to say, this pizza tastes authentic homemade; especially the crust. And good mozzarella too! I do not typically like sweet tomatoes sauce, but this one was spot on. Will definitely be back!“
“I recently hosted a baby shower for my daughter and I was over joyed with the sheet cake Gian Carlo's Bakery made for us! I selected a white cake with the raspberry mousse filling, which was delicious. Not only was the fresh cake delicious, the decorating was superior and beautiful; while captured everything I wanted; we had them add a pair of fondant pink shoes (I provided via etsy) for the final touch! Thank you Gian Carlos Bakery for making our celebration sweet and delicious!“
“Mondo is a nice spot to grab a few slices or to have dinner at. Everyone inside is super friendly and food comes out hot and good.Pizza is top notch and worth a trip over here to grab a pie or 2. After being tortured in Fl for a few years it’s good to be back having good pizza again.“
“Service was quick, attentive, personally attentive and professional.Food was delicious. I recommend their bruschetta, the homemade bread was amazing. Great balance with the balsalmic vinegar, exceptional taste.We can't wait to comeback and see the new dining room once construction is complete.Parking: Depending upon the time of day, parking can be a challenge. There was plenty of spots in front on the street at 4:30 pm on a Tuesday.“
“I absolutely *love* this place. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I never miss an opportunity to come back. The food is fantastic; that's a given. What makes it more special is the people. Vito and his crew treat you like family. That term gets tossed around too much, and this is the one location that actually does it. They take extra special care of my father, who is a fixture there now. Knowing that he has friends here that care about him... there's just no replacing that. Please stop by and try it out. Get to know the kind, considerate, and professional staff that makes gems like this so rare.“
“This is the best Italian restaurant in the area. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is just so kind. Every time we come here we feel so welcomed and well taken care of. Truly love supporting this business and so glad we found it when we moved here!“
“Last week I ordered pizza and salad for a surprise party today for my sister in Newton for 50 people. I asked for delivery between 12 and 12:15. They arrived at 12 on the dot. Sal helped me figure out what to order and it was perfect. Everyone was very happy and loved the delicious pizza. Price was reasonable. I am so happy! Throwing a surprise 60th birthday party in Newton NJ from Waipahu HI was stressful and Sal made it smooth. Highly recommend these folks and I send Sal and his team much warm aloha!!!“
“There's are times you're looking for, a great place,for a place to eat,good, Italian food, "especially." Take out. And "your, so dam tired to cook'! LOL...YOU look up,a good place,to order from, not thinking,that there's an excellent place, in your naboborhood !, An it's "Sal"s Pizzeria" in stanhope.I tried all the others, and Sals, is the one that stands out,above the others, The pizza has the,Great taste,of fresh ingredients.on it, and the home made tomato sauce.that also make it so great.That the others are missing.That makes Sal"s stand out. Being italian, I look for that.All his dinners are great also.I tryed them all. Each dinner he has on his menu, ther all great and, come,with a fresh salad, great warm fresh italian bread.also.I get it delivered to my house,It is still hot! Not warm or cold, like outhers. I recommend "Sal"Pizzeria. It's great, and it right in my naboborhood. Ps. When you call to order and deliver food,there is no rush on the phone. And when your food arrives, there never been, you never,got the right food or not,I have never got a wrong order. It's always spot on.AND ITS HOT..Wheelchair accessibility: I'm disabled,that a big yes.he has accessibility.“
“We are new to the area, so we stopped in for a quick bite and drink.Its a nice sized place, well spaced out so you dont feel like you are on top of the next table.The staff was quick, attentive and professional.The food- AMAZING. I ordered the grilled octupus and want to come once a week to just get that. My girlfriend ordered the corned beef spring rolls and they hit the spot as well.We will def be back to explore more of the menu, as those 2 items alone have us wanting more.Parking: Is a lot of traffic but people come out and you park easyKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“I started writing this big, long and detailed review/ description of this place, and about 3 paragraphs in, I decided 1) no one has the time to read a story like that but 2) and really more importantly, this restaurant, this specific location in particular, is LEGIT.From the 1st time I tried it, to each and every time since, quality, delicious food made with top shelf ingredients. I'll sum it up by saying this, and you other foodies out there will know right away what I mean.How many times do you get chicken from a pizza place, and it's the rubbery chicken flap they get from a restaurant depot in bulk to save money?? More often that not right? Then, once in a while, you get a pizzeria where you unexpectedly bite into a chicken dish, and it's a nice, thick, juicy piece of actual chicken, and you're literally like "whoa, that's delicious" yeah, that's this place, but with everything“
“We stopped in on St. Pats weekend and where plesently surprised. We got immediate seating at the bar and had amazing food. We came because the spot was recommended for their tap list, and boy, did they not disappoint. Spectacular selection of premium beers and a great variety too; not just the usual whale NEIPAs. My only complaint is that this spot is too far away from me to be a regular haunt. If you're around the area, definitely give Taphouse 15 a try.Parking: Lot is a bit tight, and the restaurant is situated in the middle of a divided highway, so it felt a bit strange when we pulled in from the left.“
“Came here 2 years ago 10 minutes before closing and made an offer on pizza they most likely planned to throw out. I paid 20 bucks for 5 boxes of miscellaneous high end pizza slices they were going to get rid of anyways and went home a happy man, me and my buddies smacked on decedent, delicious, classic Italian pizza for 3 hours straight and it was the highlight of our trip to NYC (we got pizza on the way back) One of the workers there watched Dragonball Z and we complimented one of the drawings he had drew on the wall of a character from the show. The whole staff was super nice and loved serving us. I will be coming back here in the future.“
“The gentleman at the counter knew the customers by name and vice versa. I ordered an x-large pie to go, grabbed a Coke and tried a slice on the ride home. WOW....this pizza is exceptional! Friendly staff. Clean and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back. If you haven't tried them, do yourself a favor. You wont be disappointed. If you like pizza, this place is for you. Wish I ordered two.“
“Love these guys!!!!Though a bit embarrassing to admit.. I literally order from them 2-3 times per week. Lol..They are quick to deliver, even during the busy suppertime hours. They are Always here in under the amount of time they said it would take.I love how they know their regular customers and go out of their way for them.All the delivery guys are awesome.. they obviously take care and that nothing is ever tossed around.I do wish that they had soups all year round and that they were still served in the larger containers.. that is probably the only thing that I am not thrilled about.But everything on the menu is fantastic, and they are great if asked to make a substitution.Dietary restrictions: GF Pizza Available.. and not much more expensive!My daughter is GF and Domenico's has never made a mistake on any order.“
“Nick and family are amazing. I've been getting pizza, pasta, salad, and sides from Roman's pizza for years now. Always ALWAYS GOOD food, always delivered on time with a smile, always super tasty. Their pizza and pasta is really great but pro tip, their salad is always super fresh!! Also try their wings, ugh so good. Thank you guys, will continue to order from you for years and years. You are the best!“
“It’s definitely the best spot in the area for good food. They have very good salads and a great selection of pizzas. One pizza style in particular reminds of a homemade pizza my Italian grandmother used to make. So Yummy!Staff is also very welcoming!“
“Spotless and extremely clean. The gentlemen behind the counter were very kind and courteous. It's a small dinning area, but it's enough space for about 12-14 people to eat comfortably. The pizza is excellent, the prices are even better. I'm from NY and I struggle finding good Pizza outside of NY. This place is a really good place to go for great service and great pizza at an affordable price.Parking: It's in a mall setting, so there is a huge parking lot!“
“As recent transplants from Brooklyn my family and I have been on a quest to find a place that captures New York pizza.After trying out several local spots, we finally stumbled upon this gem.It is fresh and tastes great.This is NOT "Pizza By Alfredo" -this is "Alfredo's Pizza Cafe"!“
“This place is amazing! The pizza, wings, macaroni, and pasta salad are all out of this world. The owner made sure that the oil was changed before making my wings, because after cooking eggplant, the quality of the oil was not up to her standards, which I greatly appreciated. I had mentioned to the owner that I had just moved in and before I took my food to go, she was kind enough to offer me paper plates, which I desperately needed, top notch customer service.“
“Welcoming staff and the owner is always hands on.Cozy atmosphere with a bar. Food comes out hot. Live music on Fridays. We have been several times and Im hoping they address my one peeve. Though I appreciate cleanliness, the smell of whatever product they are using is so strong it lingers the entire meal. Go to a product not so toxic and scented so we can enjoy the food w/o the oder.“
“Best Gluten free pizza I have EVER HAD IN 14YEARS!!!! The crust was thicker and not cardboard, the sauce was sweet, and the cheese was real!! There wings amazing, (not gf but my kids loved it!!) We just moved here and can't wait to order from here again and again!! Yummmm!“
“Our family discovered Dante's in 1993. Tommy and I enjoy going for dinner, but our family has catered so many parties there; most recently our granddaughter Aria's Christening on 2/17/24. We have catered our younger daughter Alex's communion, our Michelle's bridal shower, my Mom's 90th birthday and my 65th birthday there three years ago. Lisa has always gone above and beyond, and especially working w/Michelle who lives out of state; making Aria's christening perfect! We can't thank her and her staff enough for making my granddaughter's Christening fabulous on Saturday! The Vitale and Nolan Families“
“Ordered two sandwich platters as a light lunch for the bridal parties before an evening wedding we held at a nearby venue. Jonathan was excellent to work with — polite, professional, accommodating. The platters were delivered precisely on time and were delicious. Sandwiches were made exactly to order and were fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended.“
“This place is excellent . In the center of Netcong and there pizza and dinners are excellent always . The service is great and the staff is very friendly. It’s worth the drive from where we live driving half hour for great Italian food . If you’re looking for a great Italian pizzeria & restaurant run by Italians this is the place to go. Food is always good !“
“Excellent restaurant with high quality food and daily specials. Nice variety of mixed drinks with a cozy bar. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere with nice clean decor. Ask for Heidi when you go!! She was an attentive and outgoing waitress. The bar pie is the best in the area!!! Looking forward to making this restaurant our go to place!“
“I’ve been going to this place since high school (probably earlier but went more when i could drive) and i’m NEVER disappointed. Same order every time. P.S THEY PUT HASHBROWN ON YOUR SANDWICH. Do it you don’t regret it!!! Thank you G&S!“
“Uncle Sal's Pizza in Sparta, NJ, is my go-to spot for a delicious meal every time. Their commitment to using fresh ingredients shines through in every bite, making their pizzas truly outstanding. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the quality of their food remains consistently excellent.Moreover, the service at Uncle Sal's Pizza is second to none. Even when ordering takeout, the staff ensures that every detail is taken care of, from ensuring accurate orders to providing friendly and efficient service.If you're craving authentic, mouthwatering pizza made with fresh ingredients and accompanied by top-notch service, look no further than Uncle Sal's Pizza. They never disappoint!"“
“Owners are friendly and always nice, especially to the little toddlers. Pizza is good, as well as their other dishes including salads. Small and quaint atmosphere with several tables. Service is great.Parking: It's in a mini-mall so always available parking.Kid-friendliness: They love the little ones. ?“
“This little hidden gem was discovered by my FIL while working in the area. We all dined in last night for the first time. Our waitress was full of smiles, attentive and hustling between tables and phone duties. We had 3 of the crab meat stuffed fish filet special which was delicious and came with large sides. We did Buffalo cauliflower bites, calamari, and mussels appetizers which were all great. I had a California cheese steak and cheese fries and was delighted to see multiple layers of cheese and not just across the top. Amongst several other dishes we were all happy and the cannoli ice cream is worth a trip back alone. If you are in the area I'd recommend giving them a shot!!!“
“Visiting NJ with my fiance and I decided I wanted pizza, drove to any pizza spot I found first and this was the first. The gentleman was extremely friendly and welcoming, told me what they had and how long it would take (didn't take long at all!), food tasted GREAT! they definitely put care in their work. I would definitely eat here again.“
“Absolutely adore the owners . Food is literally Manhattan quality gourmet food to me . That's where I'm originally from . Lol . The owner is amazing hands on , he cooks he is fully hands on with each customer ALWAYS !!. His daughter is a beautiful delight to have as waitress an everything she does not only being such a fun young woman she does anything needed around the family restaurant. I'm always given something free while I'm there an treated as I personally know these beautiful humans. I do not know them! Just an amazing experience all around . Must try“
“Searching around the area for pizza 2 places came up I decided to stop here . I was met by the owner on her own making pizza , garlic knots and a few more things . What a hard working woman. The pizza was amazing , the garlic knots amazing . My coworkers loved their meals . She chatted with us for a little bit , gave a little history , and how she takes pride in what she does and what comes out that kitchen and oven . Definitely recommend this place . Keep doing a great job and thanks for the great customer service . See you soon !!!“
“I think Dave Portnoy would give this pizza a solid 8.2. It could have gone a little longer but that’s just the way I like my pizza. The penne vodka was excellent, creamy and delicious. The garlic knots, I don’t know what was going on there but they were the worst garlic knots I’ve ever had, but the other food and the atmosphere made up for it“
“Celebrated our son's birthday there this past Saturday night. Was our family's first time there. He picked the restaurant. We all like to try new places.Boy we were glad he picked Bella Italia!!!From the moment we walked in, with cake in hand, to the moment we left with full bellys it was a pleasure.Our server, Carly, was friendly and fast. Our drinks were very well poured. All of our orders were 100% accurate. The food was AMAZING!!!!Every dish was delicious. Portions were a good size. Prices were surprisingly reasonable. Our cake was brought out to sing, whisked away and brought back perfectly sliced for us. I'm looking forward to dinning there again. Saw the bar area on our way out. Next visit will be in there. Looked nice. Have to check it out.Highly recommend dining here to anyone.“
“Best Pizza in the area. My daughter loves his pizza. She is shy but she loved the pizza so much she actually went up to the owner to tell him how good his pizza was. I have tried different types of slices, from plain to even a vegetarian with Brussels sprouts; it has all been amazing.“
“Really nice and clean location, everyone working was super friendly. The specialty slices are really good, I recommend the Buffalo chicken slice. The regular plain slice was nothing to write home about, (expected better on that, since I been to a few other locations). Good place to stop for lunch.Parking: Small lot“
“This local tavern seems to have transformed itself during the pandemic! The food is amazing! I was surprised at the prices however. We intended to stop in for a few beers and burgers, it was not a special night out but it wound up costing as much as if it were. The noise levels tend to get pretty high in the bar, so you may prefer to sit in the back dining area. Go and support locally owned establishments!“
“Landed here by chance but it was our lucky day we did. The service and the food was phenomenal. Marianna was a sweetheart, and she attended to our needs very nicely.We had Muscles and two different pastas, and they were all out of this world! We live in North Jersey and I have not eaten such fresh and delicious food up there. Yes it’s a hole in the wall but you can go to a fancy restaurants that overcharges you but will not give you this kind of authentic flavors!Looking forward to coming back every time we come near here.“
“Just moved near Dover and have been looking for good pizza. I'm talking GOOD New York and even Italy pizza. Finally found my new go-to. Best pizza in the area! Their pizza is legit, its crust has that perfect combination of crispy on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside with that hallmark gluten bubble. The dining room is casual and comfy, they have tons of parking outside, and the folks there are super friendly. I heard this place is a Dover/Rockaway institution and I'm glad I made my way over there.Parking: There's tons of parking available there.“
“We stopped in to get a cheese pie on the way to the drive in and it was so good. Perfect ratio of cheese and bread. Some small shops have cheese sliding off but not this one! It was just done perfectly. Will be our go to when we go to the drive in!“
“Causal pizza restaurant but not like your typical pizzeria. It's located in an old house. Friendly staff. Pizza is some of the best in the area! The fettuccine carbonara is also one of their best pasta dishes! Also able to get packaged goods to go. Full bar as well.“

“My first visit to Vinny & Son and I wasn’t disappointed. I would characterize the pizza as between NY style and Neapolitan. The crust was thin and nicely cooked; the sauce was very tasty and just the amount I like; the toppings were plentiful and delicious. Service was friendly, efficient, helpful. Kudos to our server. The price was definitely in line for a pizza like this. I would highly recommend going to V&S if you are in the mood for a good pizza.From what I could see, the pasta dishes looked very good with generous portions. Maybe I can sample them on my next visit.Thanks, V&S for a pleasant dinner“
“We frequently order from Enzo's for our office, not only is the food excellent the service a fantastic. Always consistent, always reliable. We love Enzo's if you haven't tried them yet, you are missing out. Everything is delicious and fresh. You will not be disappointed make them your go to for everything from Pizza, salads, sandwiches and more! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant the owner and his son are absolutely wonderful.“
“I love their sauce! One of my favorite pizzas in the area. My bf and I also love their tortellini carbonara and one meal is more than enough for us to split! Their chicken wings are good too. And if you’re looking for something a little different, try any one of their sandwiches (hot or cold) on a panini. You won’t be sorry. I enjoy the cheesesteak panini.“
