They also have a full bar, craft beer and offer much more than just pizza, including vegan options, a great selection of appetizers, salads, handcrafted pastas, plus fish and steak dishes. The menu is really well done. We decided to share a few pizzas since the brick oven was calling our name: Margherita - fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil Pesto Chicken - wood-fired chicken, fresh basil, mozzarella, Fontina, and basil pesto Smokey the Pig - smoked mozzarella, baked prosciutto, field mushrooms, fresh garlic, and EVOO For dessert, we shared the coconut cake. It's plant-based, made with coconut milk and brown sugar, and topped with coconut flakes. The portion was easily enough for four people and absolutely delicious--super fresh and flavorful. Our server, Tara, was wonderful--so sweet and attentive. She checked in often, kept our drinks filled, and made sure we enjoyed everything from the food to dessert. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

We had devil eggs, zucchini crisp, salmon, hanger steak sandwich and kids mac&cheese. Zucchini crisp is not bad. A little bit too thin for me. The sauce is spot on. Great flavor. Salmon itself is very good crispy skin. Tender and soft meat. The risotto needs some work. Not creamy enough. I also had a blueberry drink (mocktail). Refreshing. Great for the hot day. Service was good. She had many tables so was a little busy. But overall she did a great job getting our orders, provided what we need/ask. All staff were friendly. They had live music going on indoor. Also had a baby shower going on. I can see this is a very popular spot.

The interior is nicely decorated with a cozy Italian vibe that makes it a great place to sit back and enjoy a few pies. If you follow Barstool, you might remember that Portnoy gave this place an 8.8 -- and it's well deserved. I can personally attest to that score. We started with a plain pizza, just like Portnoy did, and he absolutely nailed it. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, with great flavor and not greasy at all. Next up was the Easy on the Pizzi -- vodka sauce base, crispy cup pepperoni, mozzarella, fresh burrata, basil, and a drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey. The combination of rich, savory, and slightly sweet flavors worked perfectly together. We also tried The Nicky Newarker, topped with thinly sliced sausage and onions on that signature thinny-thin crust. Another great choice. The pictures really don't do these pizzas justice, though they'll definitely make your mouth water. Our server was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I'm already looking forward to going back to try more of their specialty pies. If you love thin-crust pizza and you're in the area, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

The pizza is limited to a square pie, cut into small squares. Very thin, very crunchy, quite flavorful. This restaurant is mid sized with about 15 tables, seems to be able to accommodate very easily small and large groups. Also BYOB. Beyond their pizza, the full Italian menu pretty complete., very reasonable pricing. An inexpensive night out for a group of four. Conveniently located just behind the Red Roof Inn, it's an accessible hidden gem. Also plenty of parking. Very casual dining, in an old-school setting. I also noticed they are have a back room equipped for large parties. They also take reservations on busy nights.

Hands down the BEST 00-Style Wood-Fired Pizza in New Jersey…read moreyou're anywhere near Fairfield, stop what you're doing and get to Double Zero Pizza. I'm honestly shocked this place isn't packed wall-to-wall every night -- this is the kind of pizza you expect to find in Naples . From the second you walk in, you know they take their craft seriously. Stacks of real wood, the authentic Pavesi Italian oven, and trays of perfectly risen dough balls -- it's the real deal. No shortcuts, no gimmicks. Just craftsmanship. I ordered two pies: White Pie with Mushrooms & Olives Incredible. The crust has that perfect leopard-spotted char, blistered just right, crispy on the outside but still soft and airy inside. The ricotta and mozzarella are super fresh, the mushrooms taste like they were sliced minutes before hitting the oven, and the olives add the perfect salty punch. Every bite tasted like it was straight out of a wood-fired pizza boutique. Classic Margherita One word: unreal. The sauce is bright and fresh, the cheese melts into little pools of heaven, and the basil actually survives the oven without turning bitter. Balanced, clean, and addictive. The crust is truly the star -- you can tell they use high-quality "00" flour and slow fermentation. Light, airy, not heavy at all. The kind of crust you want to eat all of, even the charred ends. The owner Mike clearly cares about every detail -- from the dough to the toppings to the oven temperature. This isn't "pizza shop pizza," this is artisanal, handcrafted, authentic wood-fired pizza done right. Prices are super fair for this quality. Cash-only but totally worth it. If you love real Neapolitan wood-fired pizza, put this place on your list immediately. Easily one of the best pies I've had in NJ -- maybe the best. I'll definitely be back .

My fiancé and I dined there recently early one evening. We had a male server who was a bit loud AND aggressive about placing our order. At the end of the meal (tip time) he came over and chatted us up. He asked me where I was from, as I have a slight southern accent. He then asked my partner the same thing. My partner referenced his religion rather than where he was from. The server then said 'oh, I'm cheap like you' then patted him on the back and chuckled. We both looked at each other and were like 'did he actually just say that'? We were stunned. I mean, seriously.... I guess we could have addressed it with management but we just wanted to leave. Everyone else has been lovely when we have eaten there. We won't be going back as often due to this person's behavior. So many other places in the area that we can go to without being insulted.

And let's face it, if you know anything about Arite's you know that there will always be a wait on the weekends. Having the bar and the patio makes waiting a breeze! The food is seriously better than ever. I actually think the pizza is even better at this new spot than the previous location. The sleeper favorite for me is the maple bacon pizza. Takes the white pie to another level and has become a go to for me. Always, I repeat always, order the meatballs and save the sauce for your pizza crust. The farmers salad is always a must for me as well. No one does a salad like Artie's. Give this place a shot because trust me, you won't be disappointed.

And I'm not sure they beat the quality (but I don't live here to try them all in a short span for comparison). * Service. We ordered large, then realized the large at Frank's is 16" but the large at Frank is 18". (Yes, you'll find Frank's and Frank in the same town.) Called back and upgraded to an extra large without a problem. * Quality. You get a good amount of ingredients on each slice, they don't skimp or overload. I think they balanced the multiple toppings well, though didn't notice the garlic among the other ingredients (again, not my order). * Taste. I'm a pizza snob, so from the bottom up: Good quality crust, proportioned correctly. Very nice sauce. Too much cheese and especially tasted too mozzarella for me - everyone's got a different blend. And maybe the most anchovies I've seen as a topping - not even the only topping on a slice here. So I would say it's a positive experience overall!
