    a bowl of salad with shrimp and lettuce

    Ordered a sausage Parm hero and side salad. Pieces of the sausage were undercooked and the salad was disgusting. Won't be ever going back.

    a box of fried chicken

    Todd has the best food around. His wings are the best in the county! His lasagna when you sit down to eat is enough to two!

    "Calamari in stick form"...AKA fish sticks...

    HORRIBLE!!! Food was bland at best, sauce was flavorless, ordered calamari, and was given disgusting frozen fish sticks (they said it's calamari in stick form) that I wouldn't dream of serving to ANYONE. Hopatcong is known for crap businesses and subpar food catered to the seniors that run this town, but this is absurd. Just order from one of the other underwhelming pizza/Italian places in town. One positive is that I was credited the cost of my food...not using it on Grotto...

    Food is good but sometimes it can take a while to get your food. I had to wait an hour the last time I ordered a pizza.

    I rate the Grotto as THE best pizza in NJ. Nice thin crust and flavorful. The best is plain cheese no toppings.

    originally left this place a 5 star review a couple years ago because the food and prices were…read moregreat. Unfortunately that is not the case anymore.The last two times I went the pizza was very doughy, greasy and floppy like it was not cooked right and it just did not hold up at all. I also got a bottled Coke both times and they were flat. I checked the bottle code and it looks like it was past the best by date which makes it even worse At this point the quality is not the same as it used to be and I will not be coming back, not sure if they changed ownership but this place just seems lazy no wonder it's always dead when I walk in!

    Took my family here for dinner on a Tuesday night. Walked in & the place was empty. We were…read moreimmediately greeted by who I believe to be the owner. She was super nice & very friendly. As it was our first time there, she had us take a seat to review the menu before ordering. They only had 3 plain slices & a half buffalo chicken, half BBQ chicken pizza 'out' so we took the whole pie & 2 plain slices. The slices are larger than usual, which is a plus, so the pie was cut into 6 instead of the standard 8. We also ordered 12 wings with sauce on the side & 2 bubble teas. The plain slice was good & the buffalo chicken slice was great. The BBQ chicken slice however was dry. The wings were delicious as were the bubble teas. I had to try the ice cream as well, because, why not?! Being indecisive, the owner let me taste a few of the flavors before actually ordering & she even made a few suggestions for me. I settled on one scoop mint chip & one scoop strawberry cheesecake. While they both tasted fine - this is where they loose a star. The mint chip had chunks of ice throughout it and the strawberry cheesecake had a piece of plastic in it. Ice I could maybe understand but plastic?! I had taken the ice cream to go so I wasn't able to go back & show the owner what I had found. Overall, Knot Just Pizza is a nice place to stop in at to grab a bite to eat. If opting for ice cream though, be weary.

The service was truly top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of. It's not easy accommodating a large group, but they handled it with warmth and ease. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious: Two fresh, crisp salads Perfectly fried calamari Flavor-packed arancini balls Comforting and indulgent buffalo chicken mac and cheese A grandma pie with vodka sauce (a must-try!) Decadent desserts: classic cannoli and cannoli cheesecake Refreshing drinks including a homemade lemonade (so good!), iced coffee, cappuccino, and a macchiato. The portions were extremely generous--we left with plenty of leftovers--and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the amount and quality of food we received. I wish I took more photos of the food before it was eaten. I only wish we lived closer so we could return more often. This place is a hidden gem, and I would highly recommend Little Nicki's to anyone looking for amazing Italian food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.
