Bellariva Trattoria & Pizzeria

I had a feeling I was going to like the place the moment I walked in. I was born in NJ but have lived away for many years and I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by the most New Jersey-ish Italians I had been around in a while.

I thought it was a place where you ordered at the counter but one of the staff invited us to sit down and said he would take our order at the table. They have a very big menu with a lot of options, something for every italian lol. I couldn't help ordering some garlic bread because it was just $5 and it was literally the size of my head. Very good, did not disappoint. Overall I found prices to be very reasonable.

I split a Margherita pizza with my Aunt and it was piping hot when it came out of the oven. Also tasted very good.

They don't have any fountain drinks or tap water, you have to grab any drink from a drink fridge which I think was the only disappointment. It's a causal place, they had some TVs on in the restaurant and they also have some seating outdoors.

Two single bathrooms, one for each gender. Not a place where I think you'll find a ton of vegan options.

We ordered delivery from here and were told it would be here in about 45 minutes. After an hour I called to check on the food and they said it would be here soon. Another hour passed and I called again and was told that they tried to deliver the food but the phone number didn’t work and “no one was home”. We were home the whole time waiting for our dinner. They said they could remake our food and deliver it, but after already waiting two hours we decided to give up on them. Won’t order again.

Delicious food and pizza is incredible.

The pizza quality is so bad and they got my order completely wrong. Go elsewhere!!

My family ate there this evening and we are all terribly ill with food poisoning. Thankfully, our infant didn’t eat the food. I don’t post this to be a menace: but you need to take better care of your food.

Asked for lightly cooked..they understood the assignment. Tried a few places in the area, this is the best in my opinion. Cooked just how I like it.
