Best pizza in NJ hands down! The owner, David was very personable and we spent a good bit of time chatting with him as he fired pizza after pizza.
The pizza here was delicious. Let’s start with atmosphere. Small place but tables have enough space. Clean and great music playing. You have a front row seat to watching the pizza oven in full action! Staff was excellent. Attentive and Dave was brilliant explaining the selection of food and how he makes the pizza. We had the arugula salad with figs, prosciutto with melon. Both were excellent. The Whipped Truffle Ricotta on toasted bread was a real treat. I had the filetto , funghi, Soppressata and Sorrento pizzas. Let me start that , the sour dough style is unique and delicious. The crust is light and crispy with just the right amount of doughy texture. The filetto may have been my favorite pizza. The tomatoes had intense flavor that paired great with the mozzarella. You almost have to try the Sorrento, because the light hint of lemon was a great slice to end with. Ended the night with an espresso that was made just right. Highly recommended.
I recently visited that charming little pizzeria, and I have to say, it was a real gem! The place has such a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The Neapolitan pizza was absolutely delicious—hands down the best I’ve had in this area in a long time. What really stood out was the owner. He was so engaged with every table, enthusiastically explaining the menu and the weekly specials. You can really tell he cares about both the food and the overall experience. I was also excited to hear that the specials change weekly, so I’ll definitely be coming back to try more amazing flavors!
Cozy atmosphere where I can watch the pizza freshly made coming out of the hot oven, and delicious pizza! Everything is great, and the crust is amazing, crispy outside and soft inside.
WOW, WOW, AND WOW! The vibe of this place is fantastic. 5 tables and a counter with a massive pizza oven. The food speaks for itself and what they do, they do EXCEPTIONALLY well. We shared the mushroom and margherita pizza and honestly, I might as well have been in Italy. The sourdough pizza crust is one in a million. Special thanks to David and James for making my son and I feel at home. We cannot wait to come back! next visit update: as if this place could get any better… just went again tonight had an appetizer of Burrata with prosciutto and balsamic grapes, the mushroom pizza, the special carbonara pizza (Yeah, you read that right), and the dessert of almond cake topped with honeycomb. The end. Enough said. Go here! James and David are extraordinary!! Counter seating is the best kept secret (shhhhhh)…
Awesome place. Good conversation with the pizza guy/boss. The waitress were so friendly and had really good communication skills. Staff wise this place might be the best in East coast.
