“ Absolutely love this place... pizza is fantastic, stand out was pizza Bianca with a smoked prosciutto that cut through the fattiness of the cheese perfectly. Also really liked the meatball canzone, super flavorful and they slice the meatballs to make them more sandwich friendly. GENIUS!!! will definitely be back soon ”
“ Very small but one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Long hot peppers are always ridiculously hot! One of my favorite meatballs too. Highly recommend!! ”
“ Went with my girlfriend. Awesome pizza. Can really taste the wood fire in the dough. Customer service was amazing as well. Highly recommend. ”
“ If you want fresh brick oven pizza then this is your place to go to!!!! My gf and I lived so close by I can't believe it took us almost a year to finally check this place out. The pizza was just absolutely amazing!!!!! It's byob and cash only so don't forget that. Service was amazing as well!!! Plus reservations is highly recommended but nothing to crazy. They also do take out of you don't want to dine in. ”
“ Plates were empty every time the waitress came back. The special fig pizza was great, I was expecting a sweet dessertish pie but it was balanced sweet savory ”
“ UPDATE. Oh dear! There’s a new pizziola making pies now on Saturdays. Apparently the owner trained him, but not well enough! The dough was raw (yes, raw) the toppings were excessive (literally the entire top of the pizza slid off when picked up) and the pizzas overall lacked the usual exceptional flavor. Go on a Friday when the owner is working the oven!!! Old review- Believe the hype! Tiny menu, big flavor. This is true Neapolitan pizza. Notoriously hard to get into... because they’re never open! Always get the daily special- it may sound weird, but trust me, whatever it is it will be fantastic. BYO. Zzz ”
“ Good people creating great pizza! This place is a hidden gem and absolutely delivers the best pizza in New Jersey. The crust is perfectly blistered, toppings are fresh (shoutout to the mushrooms and pepperoni combo), and everything is balanced with just the right touch of char. Paired with a glass of Pinot Noir, (BYOB) - it’s next-level. Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and a clear passion for the art of pizza! Highly recommended! ”
