“We recently had catering from Uncle Sal's Pizza in Budd Lake for our large Christmas party, and we were thoroughly impressed with the experience. Their catering menu is incredibly extensive, offering us a wide array of options to choose from. With a large number of guests and various dietary restrictions to consider, it was our first time hosting a party and having food catered for us. We collaborated with the restaurant to create a diverse menu that accommodated everyone's needs while ensuring we had just the right amount of food.We greatly appreciated the restaurant's guidance to prevent us from over-ordering. They delivered the food promptly and assisted us in setting everything up seamlessly. However, what truly stood out was the quality of the food. Every item was outstanding, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Many asked where we had ordered the food, as it was not only delicious but also served hot and fresh.We will undoubtedly turn to Uncle Sal's Pizza for all our future catering needs. Their pricing was also very reasonable, making it a fantastic value for the exceptional food and service they provided. Uncle Sal's Pizza in Budd Lake is a reliable choice for making any event a success. Highly recommended!“

“Frank's Pizzeria in Flanders, NJ, is one of my favorite spots for a delicious meals. A warm and friendly atmosphere greets you from the moment you walk in, making you feel right at home. The pizza at this establishment is absolutely exceptional; it is cooked to perfection, and it has the ideal proportion of tasty toppings and a crust that is crisp. It is clear that they use fresh ingredients, which is a significant factor that makes a difference. No matter if you prefer the traditional Margherita or something a little more daring, Frank's offers a wide range of alternatives that are guaranteed to live up to your expectations. Furthermore, in addition to pizza, the menu features an excellent assortment of Italian dishes, each of which is produced with the same level of attention to detail and flavor. Each and every visit is guaranteed to be a pleasant experience because the personnel is always friendly and attentive. Frank's Pizzeria is a hidden treasure in the province of Flanders. If you are in the neighborhood and have a taste for some of the best pizza or Italian cuisine in the area, I strongly suggest that you give Frank's a try. When you leave, you will feel content and want to come back!“

This place did not disappoint.
It has a small wine list that covers some areas. They have some very good South American labels.
The food was delicious. Our party tried the gnocchi, Parpadelle Bolognese, Sea Food Fra Diavolo, Penne ala Scampi.
The portions were not skimpy and everyone enjoyed their meals.
Give this place a try it will not dissapoint

Many Blessings to your family from Ken & JoAnne Betz xo“

“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!“

“best food in Chester hands down! I recommend this place to everybody“

“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.“

“Amazing food always!! I wish I could remember the name of the server but I had him today around 1pm. He did an amazing job! He was very kind to my mom and I. He also made sure to check on us! That means a lot because I was having a rough day and having good service help make it better!“

“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“

“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.“

“We order from Sonny’s more than we would like to admit. Over the weekend, I last minute ordered a grilled chicken salad to go. It was a busy day, and they forgot the chicken. We called and were ready to just drive back and go grab it. They immediately said they were giving it to their delivery driver to add to his drop off. They didn’t have to do that, and we really appreciated it- they definitely did right by us. Also, have to recommend the pierogi pizza and chicken Marsala pizza!“

“I love this place and decided to order our thanksgiving turkey from them. It was absolutely amazing! Perfectly cooked and amazing flavor. They are always so nice and I don’t think I’ve ordered a single thing that didn’t taste great.“

“Edit: I have since had better interactions with the staff and food, updated to 4-stars.
Ordered this evening from Grubhub. They don't use Grubhub drivers, and instead send their own. Fine, I would usually prefer that. That said, they were a bit late - no big deal, but what is a big deal is that they almost left with my food. Doorbell rang and I was busy - came out a minute or so later and the driver was pulling out of the driveway without leaving the food. Thankfully I was able to flag him down before he left.

For the food itself:
Fried Calamari was a bit bread-y, but otherwise not bad.
Meatball Sub was really good - nice sauce.
I might go here again, but I don't plan on getting delivery again.“

“Great food, family friendly dining. Love this local treasure“

“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.“

“It’s a gem. If you haven’t been there, please visit.“

“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.“

“My first time here and the food was great! The atmosphere inside is really nice and they play good music. The mushroom ravioli, charcuterie and lamb lollipop were all fantastic! We went at night on a cold day; but, we plan to go back in the summer or maybe lunch to catch views of the lake. I would definitely recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“i love the pizza and pasta“

“I love that place so much!!!!“
