Solid spot, 2 slices, 2 garlic knots sauce and bottle of water for 8.25. Pizza is a little thick, but a nice crust and def not heavy. Sauce was the star which you don't see very often. But the sauce on the pizza and with the garlic knots was really good. Cheese wasn't over whole slice, or else I might have enjoyed this more.

Since its National Pizza Day 2024 friends Adam Ginnotti, Dave Cavaliere, and I headed to Paterson to one of those bucket list, iconic pizza places, that I always say you have to visit before they're gone. Taormina Pizzeria & Restaurant was established in 1981, and is still owned and operated by the same family, who emigrated here from Italy. It has been rated as one of the 3 best Pizzeria/Italian Restaurants in Paterson. Old school, small, red-sauce, unpretentious, store front joint serving New York style pizza and other Italian favorites. Portnoy gave them a visit a couple of years ago and admitted he liked the pie despite it not being his style. We were welcomed with warmth and hospitality by the busy counter staff, and had the opportunity to discuss the eatery's history with the son of the original owners, 2nd generation Pizzaiolo. The pie was excellent. Unique in its own way. Heavier, chewier, doughier, and slightly thicker than most, but it all came together to create a delicious pizza. Nice, tasty sauce, with just the right amount if cheese, and perfectly seasoned. I always prefer a plain-Jane cheese pie over one with all those toppings, which I think can ruin a well made pie. We had a great time celebrating "National Pizza Day" at Taormina's, 43 years and still going strong.

Love the chicken dinner special with penne, broccoli. And spinach. The salad is always fresh. The beef Pattie's with cheese are mouth watering. And the pizza is as classic as it comes !! Much love to the owner of Taorminas who always smiles, says hello, and is warm and welcoming

This pizzeria is so overrated. People from Paterson swear on this place as the best pizzeria ever. The pizza is not good at all, the slices are small and taste like cardboard. The pizza has no flavor what so ever. Also, I asked for the largest pie they have and it really looked like a small or medium pie. I asked cashier if that was the largest pie they have after they gave it to me and she said yes. To be honest people swear on this pizza because it's the closest nearby in the neighborhood. If I can give them a zero or a negative zero I would.
Best pizza and the garlic knots delicious can't have
