    Pepperoni pizza
    Scott W.

    Overall positive experience but I think food is hit or miss. Depends on what you get. Service is good. Staff are very friendly. There's not a lot of seating but worked for us. I think this place is sort of a local favorite. The setting is very casual and fits the local favorite theme. The starter bread and marinara sauce was delicious. For meals, I had the aglio y olio but found it lacked flavor. But I did enjoy the chunks of cooked garlic. My wife had the pepperoni pizza, which had plenty of pepperoni but not a stand-out pizza. My daughter had the chicken parmigiana which was pretty good. My son the rigatoni which was decent. And oldest son the chicken Murphy, which was very good. So overall not bad. Sort of depends on what you get.

    Slice of sausage pizza

    Stopped in after landing at Newark- had a pepperoni and sausage slice. Great pizza, great service.

    Slice of Buffalo and Kitchen Sink pizza.
    Randy V.

    Got a slice of kitchen sink and Buffalo chicken. Didn't expect to like the Buffalo chicken, but it was very good. With all the various ingredients on the kitchen sink pizza I expected it to be better. The price was very reasonable and the staff was very helpful. Overall it was a good experience and I'll try them again, probably even try the kitchen sink pizza again. If you want a reasonable priced slice served quick, Eli's is a good choice.

    If you're staying in EWR area this is the spot to get good pizza. High quality ingredients. Loved it

    The food was ok, but a $4 delivery (less the mile away) is pretty ridiculous- no app, called directly

    Chicken francese (small) and eggplant parmigiana (with angle hair pasta).  The meals included side salad and bread
    David S.

    We ordered chicken francese, and eggplant parmigiana for delivery to our hotel and were very pleasantly surprised. Dish portion was very generous and sauces tasted just right (not too tangy or salty) and also not too cheesy. Definitely worth a try!

    "Frozen Bag" Fried Calamari
    H T.

    It Was Cooking ""Outside That Day! Too Darn Hot To See A Stove Top & Miss Me With Turning On That Oven. I Simply Made Up My Mind It Was Gonna Be (DELIVERY) To Hell With That K.I.T.C.H.E.N. Tallied Up The Gang Orders In The House.. Then Placed An Order For Delivery! Great Taking Food Orders. No Complaints There! Food Took Maybe 30-35 Minutes To Deliver. The Delivery Driver Handed Us A Box. With All The Food Packed So Well & The Food Was HOT! Absolutely Loved The Food. I DIDNOT Enjoy The Calamari! Calamari Was Part Of The Frozen Bag Club Everything Else Was Great! Please Keep Up The Great Work Coming Out This Establishment. Quite Often It's Hard To Find A Great Pasta/Pizzeria! HARD WORK NEVER GO UNNOTICED! Eli's Pizza & Pasta...Thank You For Saving Dinner!

    Don't ask because I have no idea. I'm not a fan of bush, regardless. Although I do like "Chemicals Between Us" & "Letting The Cables Sleep"

    The guy here told me the secret to his sauce. I can't guarantee he was being forthright (better than coming fourth, right?), but why would Eli to me? Seriously though. This Pizza in Elizabeth is not bad at all. The guys were friendly and their pizza was tasty. They got the impression they do quite a lot of business in the area and so they should. Slices are pretty cheap and it's easy to find in a residential ish area in the very underrated Jersey city of Elizabeth.

    This is an amazing dining experience and by far one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever had…read morein the States. Really extensive menu with very reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food. The spicy calamari is a must try and every entree and pasta are worth trying, too. Met one of the owners (two brothers) and this is a family run business with a benefit to the community. I will definitely come back on the next visit to Newark and would highly recommend if you're in the area (especially if you are staying at Newark airport overnight!)

    I went here for lunch today with my husband and brother-in-law. The ambiance outside was very nice…read more It reminded me of the islands. The food, however, is another story. For appetizers, we got zucchini chips, fried calamari and mussels. The calamari was fried too hard and it had a very salty, spicy Chilean type sauce over it. The zucchini chips were thinly sliced, lightly battered with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over them. They were decent but nothing to write home about. In fact, after having about six or seven of the zucchini chips I began to experience heartburn from the grease. For entrees, my husband had the chicken parm. He said it was too thick and should have been flattened more before frying. It was also very breaded. My brother-in-law ordered the chicken and waffles and he said the chicken tasted day old so after having a bite of one piece of the chicken he pushed the chicken aside and called it a day. I called the waiter over and informed him about the chicken tasting day old. He didn't try to change it out or take it off the bill or get a manager. He just apologized by saying I'm sorry. My crab Mac and Cheese was decent. It wasn't seasoned the way I would have liked but the huge, plentiful chunks of crab made up for that. I ate a third of my dish and packed the rest for home where I will doctor it up to my taste. I've never been to this particular restaurant before. The only reason we came today is because my brother-in-law was here on business and staying at a hotel in the area.

I always love trying something off their seasonal pizza menu; during my most recent visit, I loved their maple bacon pizza, which had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They don't accept reservations, so expect it to be pretty busy, especially during the weekends. Note that they also only have a limited cold food menu during the off hour between lunch and dinner.

So, I decided to give it a try for dinner. They don't accept reservations. I arrived around 6:30 pm on a Friday to avoid crazy wait times, but still had to wait ~40 minutes. It didn't feel very long since the waiting area has a mobile wine/beer bar outside & you're able to order drinks from the restaurant as well while you wait. I didn't come with kids, but I saw a lot of families waiting. It was a kid friendly space. The inside was quite dim & it kept getting dimmer as the night progressed. I didn't love this, but it didn't bother me as much either. Pizza was delicious, and the bread tasted very fresh. The pictures show an individual pizza size, which we were told might not be big enough to share, but we made it work amongst 3 girls. Service was fast - I assume since they're trying to free up tables quickly. I'd recommend going at a non-peak time if you don't like to wait, but definitely worth a try even if for takeout!
