    Pizza
    Sherri S.

    Just tried this pizza and to my surprise it was really good! The pizza had a flavor, the sauce was flavorful.

    Small Italian stromboli - nothing small about it.

    Without question, Big Z Pizza is the best new restaurant on Main Street. I am shocked and appalled to see a 1-star review for this establishment. This is a class act on all fronts. For starters, Big Z has late night in the bag. They offer takeout AND delivery until 2:45 AM Friday and Saturday nights. The delivery service is expedient and reliable. Tip your drivers, folks. Service is great. Call in an order, they know you by your voice. Need a cup of water for your drunk friend? They've got you covered. I've not had a bad experience yet with any of the employees. Give them a tip, too. The food is excellent. I've had a number of pies here, and each one came generously adorned with fresh and delicious toppings. I like the mild crunch of the pizza crust which bespeaks its hand-tossed origins. Tomato sauce and cheese have never been paired better. The Hawaiian has juicy pineapple chunks and tender pieces of ham. The green peppers also delight and titillate; I have yet to find an ingredient they don't go well with. The wings are outstanding, and with a choice of breaded or unbreaded, Big Z has the right poultry appendage for everyone. Jalapeño poppers are decent, but my personal favorite is their stromboli. The small is big enough for two people. The large feeds me for two days. The location, at the tail end of the Newark Shopping Center's appendix parallel to the Pomeroy Trail, is convenient for us East Campus folks. Everyone else is encouraged to either walk the extra block or just get delivery. This is your new favorite restaurant.

    Buffalo chicken sub

    Buffalo chicken steak was good but dry and very little meat! My girl got a chicken salad and they put melted cheese on it and she could only take a few bites. !! She did say the Gyro was good so that gave it the 3 stars

    "Breadsticks"

    Great pizza very tasty. First time ordering fries and breadsticks and I was definitely ripped off. Oil drenched fries and I have no idea what the slab of bread cut into pieces is

    The pizza was not good at all, if you compare this pizza to nyc pizza you most not get around a lot, the dough you can tell it's premade even dominos pizza at least stretches out their own dough this dough comes frozen in bags, the wings are ok, best thing I ordered today from this place was the Sierra Mist, driver was good friendly

    Great tasting pizza for the buck !! It was open late so that was a plus, also fresh dough was good.

    Nice cheap place to get pizza especially in a college town area. I haven't tried the cheesesteaks there yet.

    I was in the neighborhood for a work trip and had a late train back to Baltimore so I popped into…read moreTaverna for some dinner and to finish some work. They sell a lot of their own merch so that's what you first see when you walk in. They have a bar area as well. The dining area towards the back is very spacious. And they have seating to accommodate small-large groups. The dim lighting adds to the calm vibe of the restaurant. The service is so fast. I feel like every item came out so quickly. And the servers checked in pretty frequently to clear the table, ask you if you need another drink, dessert, etc. it did feel a bit rushed. As a starter they give you their Ciabatta bread and the sun-dried tomato oil. The oil was DELICIOUS. I literally bought a jar to take home. For my drink I got the Fresca. It was good, very refreshing. For my entree I got the Linguini & Clams. It was good, could've used a bit more salt but the sauce was good. For desert I got the boozy affogato and it was delish. Would definitely dine here again if I'm ever in the area.

    We were in town visiting again and wanted to our daughter to an Italian dinner…read more My wife ordered the Gnocchi, my daughter the manicotti, and I ordered a pizza. We fired things up with an order of Truffle garlic bread. Everything was delicious! It was the second time we have eaten here and we weren't disappointed. My wife's Gnocchi were delicious... although she was slightly disappointed to find that her Eggplant that came with her dish came in the form of a fried disc. Anyway, my daughter loved her manicotti and I enjoyed my pizza. The waitress was kind but harried. It's a college town. The place gets busy. The failure to bring me a plate or knife and fork, along with waiting forever to pay the check is the reason Taverna doesn't receive 5 Stars. I will definitely try them again.

I ordered to-go order of a prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, and arugula sub, but received it as a salad, and there was no arugula. It was tasty (4), but not what I ordered, or what was on the menu. For Bear, DE, it was pretty good, but in a city or largely Italian area, I don't think it would do very well.

    We ordered lunch from Trattoria Di Napoli via DoorDash. We were impressed with flavor, freshness…read moreand portion sizes, but disappointed by a few things: 1) we requested a side of fresh parm for the spaghetti and meatballs, but none was to be found in our delivered order, 2) no napkins nor plastic cutlery was included (our delivery address was to a hotel which inherently assumes these items are needed), and 3) the margherita flatbread was delicious, but cold (I'm guessing it was warm when picked up by our DoorDasher?) The tasty order of spaghetti and meatballs could've fed a family of four so we had leftovers to try and fit in our hotel fridge [bad problem to have, right? ;)]. While the side salads were fresh, they were mostly iceberg lettuce with a single slice of tomato as well as a single slice of cucumber and a few pieces of red onion. The flatbread was really good, but would've been better warm; again, likely the result of third party delivery service. Hubby enjoyed the cannoli and would order again. Next time we are in the Newark area, we'd likely order from here again, but maybe dine in versus delivery.
