    Meatball parm was actually tasty
    Hank R.

    I tried this place a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. Friendly host. Very friendly. Said they have been doing better lately with either new owners or management than they have done in the past. The host was super friendly and accommodating. She told me they have been getting much better compliments lately than in the past. I was impressed with a simple meatball parm grinder which was very good. I'll be back.

    Large Shrimp Scampi Pizza:  count the teenie tiny shrimp if you can see them
    Dee C.

    I really hate leaving bad reviews, but in this case, I ordered from here BECAUSE of the reviews, and I don't want people to keep trusting what they read. The name of this restaurant also leads you to believe that this is Bronx-like pizza. But having been raised on the greatest apizzas by my Sicilian Grandma and my Abruzzese Grandpa, AND going to college in Long Island with relatives in Yonkers, I may not be the world's leading authority on pizza, (and I've eaten pizza all over Italy btw), but I come with a discerning, credible palate. This pizza, this SAUCE, is not only flavorless, but it's thick and chunky and very acidic: it's really, really, grotesque. So look at the pictures I posted: some things do NOT have sauce, and yet those items either had absolutely NO flavor (very little garlic with teeny tiny shrimp on a Scampi pizza; they should have called it Shrimp Skimpi pizza), were cooked improperly, or just plain tasted disgusting. In conclusion, just please consider that, in this area, we have tons of options when it comes to pizza, several of them great. Do yourself a favor and do NOT waste your hard earned dollars on this place. I ordered delivery, it was delivered quickly, and that made it convenient. Now I feel sick, and I feel guilty for cheating on my go to pizza place. Never again.

    Buffalo chicken on a roll .. delicious

    Considering I work right across the street this place it comes in clutch when I have no lunch. Although I come here for lunch because it's close to me this does not mean I wouldn't come back on my off time. The food here is very good. I've had their buffalo chicken sandwich and pizza and it's fantastic. I've also had their broccoli and ricotta pizza and I love it. Lunch gets pretty busy for this place so either call ahead or come without any hurry. I usually call ahead and say I'm going to eat in and they have my order ready when I get there. The only thing I would say is don't expect much from their service. Its very much a hit and miss but still a great spot to grub and did I mention they are BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle)? For dinner you can bring your own wine or drink of choice. I have never done this myself but it's a unique feature that you may not find too often. Give them a try! Tip: I have never seen more than one person in front of the house for lunch and it can get busy. Consider having someone else help out for this time period.

    Meatballs

    I really want to go for dinner here one night, but instead we tried delivery for the first time. We ordered a personal pie with bacon onion and sliced tomato. It was really good and the sauce is just spicy enough. They probably could've stayed in the oven another 30 to 60 seconds. We also got a Philly cheese steak grinder. There was a lot of steak and a lot of cheese in it! Along with a ton of onions and mushrooms. Nothing was lacking in the bread was soft and good! I can't wait to try a dinner from here! The delivery was also pretty fast and they got to my house within 45 minutes. Good job! Back again. Waiting for take out and eating meatballs. I was able to bring in wine with me. Even though I ordered before I got here and told him I would be ordering more , they did not come up to my table. I had to go up to the counter to order more or even look at a menu. That part kind of confused me. I was also not offered any glasses for my wine or any water. I'm sure the food is going to be great but these are all not great expectation to be for filled.... not sure... Maybe they just are not trained to do that I am not sure but it was weird.

    Totally hit it out of the park again!! Such a Gem of a restaurant. Swordfish special was superb! (See photos) All the food is fresh and each meal is individually prepared, no mass production. Wait staff was once again very friendly and attentive. ZERO COMPLAINTS!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

    45 minutes late on delivery , forgot a grinder, and this is the garbage they delivered,  never again

    45 minutes late , forgot a grinder, and this is the garbage you'll receive. Never again

    For being a smaller location in the plaza they offer a decent amount of seating. Good for dining in.

    I ordered take out from here after finding them on Restaurant.com. I ordered the Chicken Piccata and Chicken Marsala. When I walked in the place was small (tucked into the corner kf the Johnny B's plaza) but had booth/table seating. Its Italian themed. The people there informed me that Restaurant.com gift certificate was not valid as they don't participate in that site. Which I found odd since it had their name on it but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. They instead offered me their $5 off special as I was close to the amount to qualify and apologized. Getting past that, the food was very good. The dinner comes with your typical sides of pasta and these delicious little garlic bread dinner rolls. The Marsala was tender and the sauce was not too salty (just right). My wife enjoyed her Chicken Piccata too and said it was one of the better ones she's had. Although we had a snafu, I will definetly consider ordering from them again in the future.

    Pasta Fagoli
    Steve T.

    "Worth the Wait". My Nonnie was born in the bronx and that's what spurred my interest in A Slice of the Bronx Restaurant. One of my friends went there recently and she loved it. I had to go and enjoy it for myself. The dining area is long and narrow with a few beautiful high back oak booths and a few small tables so reservations are highly recommended. It smells amazing when you walk in to be seated. I forgot that my friend said it's BYOB. So we weren't prepared this time with a nice bottle of wine to go with our dinners. Definitely next time. We placed our orders and admired the pictures on the walls as well as the cool lighting above the tables. Before the first course came out our waitress, Amanda, brought out little garlic knots with a killer marinara sauce for dipping. That sauce was so good, they could have brought me a dozen garlic knots with a bowl of the sauce and I would have been content for the night. My wife began her dinner with a nice salad with blue cheese dressing. I had the pasta fagoli. Lots of grated cheese, black pepper, and red pepper flakes added and that white pasta fagoli was excellent. My wife had the Spaghetti Bolognese served with a delicious bolognese sauce, mini meatballs, and shaved asiago cheese. I had the Braised Veal Osso Buco with a red wine reduction and served with scalloped potatoes and sauteed garden vegetables. It was so good that I didn't leave a speck on my plate. Even the marrow was tasty. Now, everything is made to order so it takes a little while. But I can assure you that its Worth the Wait. We ended our night with hand filled mini cannolis with a cappuccino and a tea. Very happy we came here so I could write my 50th review for Tripadvisor and my 40th review as a Yelp Elite.

    Jessica, Nick&Deanna treated us like royalty! You name it, it's good here.Everything from the service, atmosphere, & food is incredible!

    I'm in town on a short business trip and made it a point to check out Fuoco Apizza after seeing it…read morefeatured on Barstool Pizza Review with Dave Portnoy--and I'm really glad I did because he was absolutely spot on. I ordered a large cheese pizza, and it has to be one of the best I've had in a long time. The crust was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of char, not greasy at all, and every bite was packed with flavor. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and put care into every pie they make. It's that kind of pizza where you immediately know you'll be thinking about it later. Honestly, I wish my wife and kids were here to try it with me--they would've loved it. I'm from California, and I can say I haven't had many pizzas back home that compare to this. It's that good. In fact, I ended up coming back a second time before heading home because I just couldn't pass up another chance to have it again. That alone should say everything. On top of the amazing pizza, the employees were friendly and welcoming, and you can tell it's a family-owned business that takes pride in what they do. That kind of atmosphere makes the experience even better. If you're anywhere near the area, I highly recommend stopping by Fuoco Apizza. Whether you heard about it from Barstool or not, it absolutely lives up to the hype. You won't be disappointed.

    Wait time, lack of seating, prices…read more An hour and 10 minute wait for two small pizzas?! (As long as eating dinner at 3:15 pm on a Friday doesn't bother you...try it.) We drove to New Haven and were eating our pizza in less time at one of the more popular/well-known places. Seating is almost a waste of time. Maybe there's enough seating for 25 people?! You need to get to know the people next to you because you're basically at the same table. Prices are shockingly high for what you get. With the sheer amount of pizza-places within a 2-10 mile radius of Fuoco - you're better off giving another establishment a try. Try Half-Moon in Wallingford. The pizza is delicious, less of a wait time and there's actually room to eat and relax.

I loved how inviting the dim environment with all their glowy lights was. I sat at the bar where this sweet bartender Liz helped me select a drink off of their extensive, delicious, looking creative menu. I started off with the cucumber gimlet given I needed something refreshing after running 3 miles. All the drinks were divine. The salad was perfect. I got my dressing on the side as well as their sweet citrus on the side but they know their stuff bc the cider vinegarette couldn't have paired better . I just say, and I feel this is most important other than the patient and menu guidance via Liz, this dirty pickle martini (which is subbed with gin) was the besttt martini I've EVERRRRRR had in my life. They make their own pickle juice here in house to mimic grillos pickles as much as possible. They are spot on, if not even better. I love this place. Everything about it is great, ambiance, staff, vibes, and most importantly their menu and the taste of their items in their menu. DIVINE. I will be back, maybe endlessly whenever I can .
