Do you see that review from "Herman S"? Well, he's a loser and a LIAR. First of all, his description of "the waitress informing him that Cioffi's does not include the clam shells with white clam sauce" and that she "affirmed" that they only use canned clams is not just a flat out lie, it's stupid. Notice he didn't include a picture...like I DID, which clearly shows REAL clams with REAL shells. There were no "canned clams" like the liar, Herman S (S for STUNAD) describes. But THEN...I saw where the idiot was from, and saw what he was really upset about. They were showing "FOX NEWS" on one of their TVs behind the bar. (To be fair, there was another one showing MSLSD, but STUNAD doesn't mention that.) The jackass was just triggered at one of the tv's and felt it his responsibility to leave a lie of a review. What a snowflake! He was mad at a restaurant because they weren't waving a bunch of rainbow flags and dared to show a news source that actually tells the truth from time to time. How much ya wanna bet Herman S has purple hair? LOL! The dinners here are great, as was the linguini allá vongole! And as for Herman S...just let me catch you. I promise, you'll wind up stuffed in a COFFEE CAN. read more

Cioffi's Restaurant & Pizzeria - Linguini White Clams Sauce - Pizza Near Me - Union, New Jersey

What a fantastic Italian restaurant. I work in the area and because of the cold and rainy weather today, Thursday the 5th, I was craving some soup. I ordered Pasta Fagioli for lunch and it was a ten out of ten. The tomato broth was flavorful and did not any salt or pepper to be added to it. The pasta was cooked perfectly and still had some bite to it. The beans were flavorful. It came with a piece of crusty bread for dunking. All for under 10 bucks. Great job crew. read more

Ordered a pickup pizza on Wednesday night. Half pepperoni and half peppers/sausage. It suked! The peppers were sliced too large and strewn about. Hard to find the sausage and it was sliced into 4 pieces rather than 8. Plus it was cold! It will be a long time before I return there! read more

This restaurant was such an unexpected surprise! With its laidback and casual dining atmosphere, the dishes served were presentable, size-able and best of all delectable! Some of the best Italian food in our area with breaking the bank... we loved it so much we're coming back to celebrate a birthday dinner! The hostess was so courteous and attentive... her personality a d insights of the dishes gave confidence to our orders that did not disappoint once served. All around us were families and gatherings enjoying and celebrating adding to the friendly ambience and homey vibe like an extension of your family dining room. Highly recommended! read more

Food was excellent ! Ordered lasagna w vodka sauce . Platter was so much and so delicious! Also their portabello mushroom salad was amazing! Will order these again when I come back! read more

Great new sign in town. Wraps around the building. Bright, colorful, easy to read. Very attractive. The best I've ever seen.

Always a great meal. They've been in Union forever. BUT they moved to an easier location (for me anyway) to get to them. If you order delivery every single delivery person very friendly and efficient! Usually delivery comes quicker than they say. Our favorite Italian takeout place :-) read more

I love this place . My job ordered for catering services . The guy at the restaurant (I don't remember his name unfortunately) was a pleasure to work with . He was so nice and helpful with the order . The penne vodka was good and creamy . The pizza is out of the ballpark , and did I mention the staff ? All very pleasant to work with . I will be recommending to my job to cater again and we love ordering delivery at my job. read more

Please do not order the bruschetta pizza or caesar salad. Maybe it was my naivete that I thought bruschetta meant finely cut tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar and cheese? Those dainty toppings on a little piece of bread? Nah. This one came with large cubes of tomatoes and a mountain of red onion, like Mt Everest. Caesar salad had very rubbery cheese, and was not very fresh. We scraped half the toppings off the pizza, but it was still a struggle. We ate only because we were hungry. My boyfriend and I had acid reflux and upset stomaches for two days after this dinner. Give other menu items a chance? The penne pics look good! read more

Amazing service and food! Josephine was very quick and respectful! I highly recommend it!

Ordered an entree of shrimp scampi for $20. Received 7 pieces of shrimp with no pasta. Called the restaurant thinking this was a mistake. They told me that I would've had to order a side of pasta if I wanted it. Not worth their prices. read more

Just had the worst pizza experience in a long time. Years long customer of Proud Pappas prior to the sale and when they were experiencing peak delivery they would let me know. 45-60 min turned into almost 90 and the pizza was barely Luke warm soft cardboard dough on arrival. Threw away $76 tonight. read more

Not impressed with new setup has a Panda Express fast food vibe instead of a nice restaurant like it was. Food good as before service ok waitresses could be more attentive Won't be our Italian restaurant go to anymore. More a take out. read more

Old fashioned NJ pizza the way it was back in the day!! Great place!!!! Thank you!!!! read more

The very best Italian eatery in the area. You can't go wrong with their delicious pizza and their gourmet dishes. All this with a price that is more than fair. read more

This place was amazing! The food came out quick and everyone greeted me as I walked in. The food was tasty and the service was great. My server Josephine helped us with anything we needed and continuously checked on us to make sure our food was good and if we needed anything to drink. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for high quality Italian food!!! Have nothing but nice things to say about this restaurant!!! read more

It appears that when Cioffi's recently moved from Stuyvesant to Chestnut St they left the original chef's and recipes behind. Most of the eat-in Italian Dinners are bland, watery, tasteless and the few we shared were very unappetizing'! The crowd is predominantly older men at the bar while we observed several tables of older neighborhood ladies No background music to enjoy while dining. They do have three or four TV's but unfortunately they were tuned to FOX NEWS at the request of people sitting at the bar. We would have preferred to have the ballgame on. read more

Was in Union NJ the other day getting my taxes done and decided to order a couple of pies from Cioffi's which I normally do after the taxes are done. 1 plain pie and 1 with pepperoni and mushrooms. Ordering by phone was simple and pickup was easy. Will do it again for sure. read more

I was really pleased when this location opened and looked forward to it becoming my new pizza pick up favorite. Unfortunately, that didn't manifest. Ordered a pizza and calzone and price was $50! Was advised on pick up that calzones are $20 because of their new size. Fine, I guess but I wish I'd been told it was a giant calzone when I called in the order. Ordered a sausage and pepper pizza - it was fine, bit on the dry side for my taste. Dough is bready and sweet. Although expensive and not what I thought I ordered, the pepperoni calzone was good, pillowy texture with plenty of cheese. read more

Comfort on a plate! With delicious classic Italian dishes and specials, excellent cannolis, a full bar, and warm family feels, you're in for a treat! Growing up on their homemade dishes like veal and eggplant parm, manicotti, and pizza spoiled me and set certain standards for life. Though I hadn't been here in over 25 years, their quality remains the same! Last week, I enjoyed a really lovely dinner with my best friend. We toasted with glasses of merlot and pinot grigio then split a perfectly dressed and scrumptious salad on their Specials Menu that had goat cheese, tangerines, and dried cranberries. For entrees, my friend savored her Eggplant Parm while I super loved my Triple Ravioli special of three types filled with shrimp, cheese, and spinach. (Leftovers reheated well the next day.) Then for dessert, their Carrot Cake was exactly what I expected, but better and then holy cannoli! Their huge yummy Cannolis come filled with a thick, creamy classic ricotta filling with chocolate chips and are worth ordering by themselves. From start to finish, Cioffi's is an amazing experience! NOTES/TIPS: **They have a cozy dining room and a separate space and entrance for pizza and deli take out. They have also have a separate banquet room (where I had my 16th birthday) that can hold about 30 people. **7 or so parking spots in a small lot, high turnover. Street parking. read more

I ordered a cheese pizza at 5:45pm on a Wednesday. it was delivered to my house 11 min later. fresh and hot right out the oven. so delicious. read more

Best pizza in town. I don't know what they do to their sauce, but it's incredible. It's become my weekly ritual

I have been a loyal customer for many many years but what happened was so socking and unprofessional. My friend and I went out, he loves Italian so I suggested cioffi's. I had the eggplant rollatini and was offered a side pasta and picked angel hair pasta w vodka sauce. On our bill it had an extra charge of two glasses of wine, $19.00 and $4.00 for side. We questioned Vince our waiter, since we had water. He removed the wine charge but not the side; "we gave you too much and had to charge" WTF??? We were in shock! Couldn't believe the sneakiness. read more

The best pizza!! They are prompt and have good customer service. I placed an order for pick-up, it was ready in less than 25 min. Their Sicilian pie was *chefs kiss*. read more

Cioffis is fabulous! The flavors and quality of food is wonderful, the service is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. It's a bit like eating good Italian food in your family's kitchen (though I'm not Italian.) Give it a try, read more

Was hoping for better, red sauce had an out of the jar feel to it and the eggplant parmigiana was basically bread crumbs, I did eventually find a soggy piece of eggplant though. Chicken scarpariello was dry and tasteless. Garlic bread was the only reason I went up to a third star, I actually liked it. Do not expect to be returning read more

I have driven passed this restaurant multiple times but about 2 weeks ago I looked at the photos of the food on Google and Yelp. The mushroom and pepperoni pizza looked to yummy. On Saturday about 830 waiting for the rain to stop I was craving pizza. So at 845 I suggested to my Boo to get a pie to go and try it. We arrived at about 9:05pm. Online it said they close at 10pm. We decided to sit at the bar for a bit and have drinks. BEST DECISION EVER!! Drinks are mixed well and delicious. We had an appetizer of calamari. Fresh and full of flavor. We ended up having 3 drinks each. Thomas the bartender is excellent. Great conversation. Customer service is everything. The staff were all friendly. We ordered the seafood Diablo and pizza to go. OMG. SO GOOD. The sauce wa so flavorful in everything. Pizza was yummy. So happy we have a new restaurant to support. I highly recommend. read more

Cant get enough of this place. This place never lets me down, great food and great people.

I used Cioffi's to provide lunch for my business meeting the other day. I did not eat the food but those I was providing it for seemed happy. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and I will definitely use them again. read more

Outstanding pizza. I was in a rush so I picked up 2 veggie pizza slices. I'll be back to try their seafood pizza the next time I'm in the Springfield area. read more

Made an impromptu dinner stop here while in town shopping. Cioffi's Restaurant & Pizzeria has two entrances. The entrance in the center leads to the sit-down restaurant, while the entrance on the right leads to the Pizzeria. The Pizzeria has a few high tops for those who want to sit and eat. Even arriving during dinner on a Saturday, we were quickly seated and service was attentive. Interior is decently large and has a side room for events. Menu is extensive and has variety. Cioffi's serves both Coke and Pepsi (due to the attached Pizzeria), and assorted other beverages. Food arrived quickly considering how busy it was. Dinner bread was a variety of garlic, hard, and soft. Stuffed shells were decently sized with a good sauce. My friends Meatball sandwich was HUGE, so big that he couldn't finish it. Prices were reasonable. Overall, Cioffi's was a nice surprise that didn't disappoint. read more

Marinara sauce taste exactly like jarred puree. Cant really give it over a 3star. Italian restaurants are defined by their sauce.

Not pictured is the grilled chicken alfredo pizza that was made for me. For a place that does not meet a grilled chicken alfredo pizza, they probably made one of the best ones I've ever had. We came here because this restaurant delivered food to my wife's school. So we wanted to try the food out. Outstanding service, and outstanding food. Would definitely come here again read more

I remember this place 10 years ago and found it wasn't as good as it used to be. Parking is also difficult.

Chicken francesse was bitter and the white wine overpowered the dish. Baked ziti sauce was bland and not very tasty. The baked Ziti was lighty covered with what looke a slice of cheese..I would not recommend purchasing these two dishes read more
