Taormina Pizzeria & Restaurant is a solid spot serving classic New York-style pizza and Italian favorites. Established in 1981, this family-owned and operated restaurant has been a staple in Paterson, known as one of the best pizzerias in the area. The pizza is unique, featuring a slightly thicker crust that creates a delicious pie with nice, tasty sauce and just the right amount of cheese. The crust has great chew and a satisfying "doughiness" with a wonderfully crisp underside. It also provides more structure to accommodate a generous serving of mozzarella. The sauce is fresh, tomato-y, and deliciously well balanced, with some sweetness to counter the acidity. The restaurant offers other Italian favorites, including a popular chicken dinner special with penne, broccoli, and spinach. Many agree the sauce is amazing, while others call it sweet. They also offer Sicilian Pies with half chicken and spinach. The staff is warm and welcoming, providing excellent hospitality. With reasonable prices, it's a great choice for families, offering chicken fingers and fries for kids. There is space to sit inside, and while parking is limited, there are options for street parking. Whether craving a classic cheese pie or a hearty Italian meal, Taormina's is a favorite spot for many who appreciate its consistent quality and flavor.
