Don't order and then leave to wander around outside like I did because 6 minutes means 6 minutes. Good salty mozz, chewy thin crust. And he's right, you need to eat it hot. The rest of the pizza was not so great cold and reheated, those thin slices are a joy of the moment thing not to be revisited. But on the upside, I view the thin slices as really like eating half a standard regular slice, so go for as many as you can manage. This is one of the Jersey greats that is rarely mentioned, try it out.

But honestly, I came here for 1 thing, and 1 thing only: Chicken Parm. The Chicken Parm was a nice portion, cooked perfectly, tasty sauce and the cheese melted perfectly. Its appearance was picturesque, and I did take a picture of it. Now my complaint, the piece of chicken was really flat, thin and incredibly dense/tough. My perfect chicken in a Parm is thicker and delicate, almost airy. This was not, and for $28, I will not be back! Then $5 for a fountain drink and $5 for a plain simple salad globbed with Caesar dressing, VERY POSSIBLY store bought, sad! The side of pasta is in my attached picture but really not worth mentioning as it was that forgettable! So I'm still in search for my 'go to' chicken parm place for that area! Suggestions appreciated!!!

Here's a clean, polished version of your review you can post anywhere:…read more We stopped by Delizia Pizza Kitchen yesterday after a fun time at Kids Empire, and it was a great choice. From the moment we walked in, the environment felt welcoming and the place smelled amazing. I'm a slice guy, so I went straight to check those out. After some debating--and a recommendation from a local--I went with a Buffalo chicken slice and a square vodka slice. Both were excellent. My kids ordered plain ziti and ravioli, and they were more than happy with their meals. My wife got a salad, which she really enjoyed as well. To top it off, the young lady who took our order was very professional and friendly, which always makes a difference. Overall, 10/10 experience. If we lived closer, this would definitely be in our regular rotation for nights we don't feel like cooking.

I mean you could be standing directly in front of one and look behind you and there's one over there too, Lol. So it really should come as no surprise that there are so many strip mall Pizza Places around. What is usually a surprise is when you find one that serves up some deliciously prepared Pizza that'll make you feel like you're somewhere special. The thing I like about Delizia is that you know what you're getting even before you get it. It's Saucy, Cheesy, Crispy, Crunchy Deliciousness and you really can't go wrong with any of these solid Slices. One of my favorites is their version of a Grandma which offers perfectly thin and crunchy texture with tons of fresh Mozzarella topped with basil strips and deliciously seasoned San Marzanno Sauce. To me, it's a standout slice no doubt. With welcoming Service and a decent amount of clean comfortable seating options to choose from this place is definitely not your average strip mall Pizzeria. Come And Get Your Munch On!!

Shake Hands with Gorgeous Grandma Slice!!

***3 1/2 stars***…read more Maybe it lost something in transit or I didn't get the right pie, but I wasn't blown away by this place. I've had Tony D's on my list for a while, knowing it had a solid reputation amongst the North Jersey Italians (and what better demo to have it from?). Yesterday was a perfect opportunity to order/grab some pizza and bring it over to my top-tier chum in nearby Montclair for lunch. I didn't do a ton of recon so maybe there was a more obvious/modern method to ordering, but from what I could tell, this place was pretty old school and I just picked up the phone and called over - honestly can't remember the last time I did that, but it brought a nice whiff of nostalgia for me after years of ordering on apps. Didn't realize that Tony D's is literally right around the corner from my BFF Cloverleaf, so the location is pretty convenient if you're in the area. The parking in Caldwell can be pretty annoying, and even though I'm sure I could have rolled the dice I paid a little less than a dollar to park up the street further into a residential neighborhood. Given that Tony D's is exclusively delivery/pickup joint, I think they should pay for the spots right in front as a courtesy to their customers coming in and out; maybe they do and I missed it but if not... Anyway. The guy behind the counter was VERY nice/friendly, and even though I was a few minutes early based on the estimated ETA off my phone call, the pizza literally had just come out of the oven and was ready to rock. From that vantage point, top-notch service. The specific pie that seemed to be their go-to was the Drunken Grandma, which is usually one of my favorites (vodka sauce on pizza should be much more prevalent in my opinion) but I wasn't crazy about the chunks of tomato on it. In hindsight, would have been easy to pick off or even to request that they not be included to begin with, so that would be my recommendation based on this experience. I opted for a square plain pie, especially since I knew that a few young pups would likely be sampling the wares; seemed like an overall safe bet. Optics-wise, I thought it looked very good, and I don't regret going square here. The crust for me was probably the best part, and I made sure to strategically grab all of the corner pieces once we started eating. Nice crisp to it for sure. The overall taste of the pie just wasn't my thing. I wasn't crazy about the sauce (maybe another argument for the vodka sauce, right?) and the cheese was just okay. Tasted to me more like generic by the slice pizza, which isn't my preference. My top-tier chum liked it more than I did, so definitely could just be an issue with palate preference here but this might have suffered from inflated expectations. I'd give them another shot if a similar circumstance presented itself, but I'd go with the pie it's known for - there's a reason the Drunken Grandma is front and center in almost every review. Learn from me.

From the moment I walked in, I had a great experience. I was greeted by a very friendly hostess who made me feel welcome right away. I actually wondered if she might be the owner because she was so welcoming. The restaurant itself has a vibrant, comfortable atmosphere with great ambience. I was dining by myself, so I ordered a medium thin-crust pepperoni pizza. Before the pizza came out, they brought me some bread, which was delicious and definitely got me ready for the meal. Then the pizza arrived. After my first bite, I immediately understood why I had heard so many good things about this place. The thin crust was perfectly crispy and crunchy, and the pizza had excellent flavor. I ended up finishing the entire pizza! I probably could have ordered another one, but I had to remind myself that I'm trying to watch my diet. The price was also very reasonable. My entire meal was under $20 since I just had water, and the quality of the food was excellent for the price. This was easily one of the best thin-crust pizzas I've ever had. Angeloni's Restaurant & Pizzeria has definitely become one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in the area, and I'll absolutely come back. Next time, though, I'll bring my significant other or a date because eating all that great pizza by myself was a little lonely! If you're thinking about trying Angeloni's, check it out. You won't be disappointed. The pizza alone is worth the trip! 10/10 -- definitely a 5-star experience!

The bader sting is sopressata and hot honey - couldn't taste the honey and sopressata had no flavor. But the biggest let down was the prosciutto & fig - the figs were green? My first thought they were not ripe - the point of this pie is to have savory and sweet - it had no sweet. As I said I hadn't been there in more than 5 years and the menu hasn't changed from what I can remember. Also, if you increase prices, maybe make sure you make sure to remove the old menus first.

We ordered some garlic knots, which were good, it just seemed a little bit pricey to charge for the marinara sauce separately, which was not really outstanding nor something special, so I would recommend you skip it. We also ordered the chicken vodka Parm pie which was very good. The chicken was very crispy and the pizza was still delicious the next day when we had the leftovers. One of her friends is allergic to gluten, so it was very nice that they were able to accommodate for her. I do wanna point out that we have been to many places that offer gluten-free options and this is the first one I've been to that does charge you extra to make a gluten-free. In terms of price, it is very similar to the other places in Montclair but they do provide very good service and the ambience both outside and inside is very nice.

I wanted to read a few reviews before typing my own just to see if i was crazy or not. It turns out many othe people tend to agree with me. Boardwalk Pizza is a unique one of a kind foodjoint that provides a down the shore theme and provides the community with their down the shore favorites! including: Big plain slices, zeppoles, and even cotton candy. The staff is very friendly and polite. The food is cooked to perfection and every now and again you may hear about some unique specials they might provide. The overall staff includeing the owner provide a family friendly atmosphere and more importantly an ARCADE!!!!! Who doesnt enjoy some classic games while waiting on your food. You could catering, delivery, take out, and even dine in. Boardwalk is more than capable in satisfying your needs as a customer. Another thing that impressed me was their involvement in the community. Fairfield carnival, Fairfield Police Department Street fair, and Caldwell street fair were only a few events Boardwalk attended. Just an overall amazing experience and i highly recogmend this establishment to all whom are interested in an excellent experience. read more

Not happy with my Boardwalk Pizza experience. When I went to pick up my food, behind the counter there was a young man wearing glasses who was working the register. One of the older men making the pizza came over and said something to him and he responded (I could not hear the exact details of either). Whatever he said must have upset him, as the older man immediately grabbed the kid (who was 18-20ish) and angrily shoved him by the arm into the wall, and seemed to making to hit him with his fist. Another young employee had to get in between the two, and even then the older man was trying to force his way through this other boy to get to the kid with glasses. It made me incredible uncomfortable and upset - I grabbed my food and got out of there as fast as possible. None of the food I actually got really wow'ed me either. The stromboli was good, but the "Famous Boardwalk Cheese Steak" was exceedingly bland and the cheese sauce had the consistency of glue. Also the pricing on the website is different than what I was charged. read more
