I mean look, it's not the fanciest Italian or pizza joint, but food is solid, it's nearby, and portions are generous. What more can I tell you? My only regret is not having more photos, because I usually eat everything right away as soon as I get home. If that doesn't scream comfort food, then what can I say? read more

Enjoyed the chicken parm pizza and a garlic knot today. Great fast service. Peaceful early lunch on a Wednesday. Got to watch the ultimate Knicks comeback playoff game on replay and then watched my pizza. Life is good. read more

One of my favorite places to get pizza from they also have very good wings. Their menu is very lengthy so you have a lot of different options. The service is very fast. They have a lot of people working in there so you're not gonna be waiting too long. You can also sit down in there. It's like cafeteria seating benches, but it is worth it. The food is very good. read more

The food here reminds me of homemade meals. And the salads so fresh I literally eat it with no dressing. Thank you guys

Had a really great experience here. As someone from the Midwest, I always enjoy east coast style food and I love frequenting Italian village when I'm in the area. The menu is great, there are tons of options for pizza, sandwiches, etc. I had the Italian sub today which was extremely fresh and a great size. My SO had the pastrami sub, very generous portions of pastrami and was very flavorful. Couldn't leave without taking a couple slices of pizza as well, whoch always hit the spot. The main thing is the customer service. Was served by Leo, a manager, and he was extremely kind and friendly. Made us feel very welcomed and he is just a complete professional. Was very impressed by him and created up for his service. Thank you! read more

Everything you could want from a slice shop. Solid grandma and classic cheese and tons of cool other non traditional, big slices.

Food A+. It delivers in a way that all NJ pizza parlors should. They make the staples great and the exploration of other expressions of pizza are out of this world. Don't let me get started on the cheesesteaks. Service is out of this world! Kind and hospitable. This village should be a staple if you are new to the Netherwood area. The vibe is unbeatable. You'll feel welcomed! read more

Food was very good. Large portions. Added to an order for us quickly. We were Italian Village lovers for 25 years and have just gotten back to them. More choices now, much better sauce and the pizza is as good as we remember! read more

We have been eating here for over 9+ years and since the old owners left it has not been the same. We still try to give them chance after chance but this time I'm super disappointed. We ordered four dinner pastas and they all were not great. The penne vodka was red sauce and super watery to the point where it was falling off the noodles. The garlic bread had no garlic and they gave one loaf and two triangle hard pieces of bread. I did call to complain to get a refund and return the food. The lady who answered just said to bring the food back.. did not seem to ask why we weren't satisfied or what she can do to help better the situation. Super disappointed because this was the go to pizzeria... RIP italian village. read more

Best pizza in the area. Closest to a New York slice that you're going to get. Nothing fancy, but the plain pizza is fantastic.

Thank you for the speedy and accurate delivery for the Drake House order for the volunteers on backpack day. Everybody enjoyed the pizza.

Best pizza and the nicest people around the owner is from Brooklyn and knows his pizza

Penna vadka is great, it comes with a unexpected salad and garlic bread. 10/10 highly recommend read more

This was actually my first visit to Italian Village since I moved near by. I'm constantly ordering from Pizza places in the surrounding towns and this night was no different; the thing that separated this Saturday night from the others was that I actually liked my pizza. Usually I will get extra cheese that will have enough cheese to burst an artery; but this night the cheese was just right & so was the crunch. I ordered on my way home and it was ready when I got there. I will most definitely try them again, but the next time I will branch out to other things on their menu. read more

Stopped in to try the traditional plain pizza and I was super impressed! The quality of the dough, sauce, and cheese is like no other. The new menu has a wide variety of different foods and choices (including gluten free cauliflower crust pizza) and the new owner Leo is very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend!! read more

We stopped here spontaneously and I'm in love with how welcoming everyone is. The shrimp pizza was amazing and will definitely be ordering here on a regular. Thank you for the free Nutella Valentine's Day slices they gave to my children. They were delicious. read more

They were the worst for a period of time. But now that there's a new owner THEY'RE BACK!!! Sandwiches are great and the pizza is excellent

Admittedly, I'm partial to the pizza I grew up on in Brooklyn, NY and I havent tried it here - but the dishes I have tried are always fresh and delicious. My favourite is the grilled chicken salad with "everything." Toppings include tomatoes, roasted peppers, jalapenos, etc and I order it topped with ranch dressing as well. I've also had eggplant parm sandwiches from there, which are delicious. Customer service is courteous and timely although I've always ordered in person or by phone to pick up. The restuarant is well staffed. Nice ambience to have a meal with a friend, etc and they serve food on real dishes, which I think is a really nice touch. Prices are reasonable. Free parking is convenient and plentiful. I've been eating here periodically for ten years, and I plan to continue! read more

My friends and I were craving pizza, so we stopped at this pizzeria and were thrilled with our choice! I ordered two pies: a classic pepperoni that was delicious and a Hawaiian that surprised and delighted my friends. Thank you for the great food! read more

Italian Village is back! New owner who purrs customer care 1st! Good is great, maybe better than it ever was. Will definitely be back!

Friendly staff, clean environment , very accommodating and delicious fresh food, made to order

Horrible!! I've been coming for years. I suspected a new owner because things didn't taste exactly the same but this is RIDICULOUS. JUST GET THE PIZZA. AND they don't have anything covering them. read more

Been coming here for a long time and was surprised that they now charge 4% service fee when using a credit/debit card regardless of the amount spent. Usually an establishment would have a minimum requirement amount to spend (typically $10) when imposing a fee. I was disappointed that the place would nickel and dime its patrons after all these years. read more

Italian Village - the receipt for the restaurant - Italian Near Me - Plainfield, New Jersey

I stopped in Italian Village today for lunch. I met the new co-owner Leo who is very personable. I ordered the Salad with grilled chicken and roasted red peppers. In my opinion it was even better than I remember from about 2018 (the last time I was there as I don't live local to it anymore). While I was waiting, Leo offered me a slice of pizza and I chose a slice of cheesesteak pizza. The pizza, especially the crust, was delicious. I think it was pan pizza. Anyway, if you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend you give it a try! read more

pizza is good, love crust, staff was friendly and respectful. note: someone should come in an hour early to put heat on so customers can stay and eat. Just waiting for a slice I was freezing. Also their pipes may freeze so they may want to leave heat on. read more

We hadn't had pizza in months, so, during a desperate moment, I ordered one and a side of meatballs in sauce ($4.50 for 3) for dinner during the covid-19 crisis. This is always a very busy neighborhood spot. It was mobbed, so they had a guy in a yellow safety vest directing foot traffic into the place. I honestly don't know what the appeal of the pizza is here, other than it's cheap. A large plain pie is still only $11. Unfortunately, the crust is like cardboard, with no rise or air pockets, and the cheese is low quality. I asked for thin crust pie, but the whole thing was so leaden, I barely got through two slices. Definitely the last time I get pizza here. I threw out the leftovers. They do make a gluten-free cauliflower crust pizza, but that's not something I would eat by choice. Houdini's, just up the street, isn't what it used to be, but is still a better bet for pizza. On the other hand, the meatballs were delicious, and the marinara was just right. I've never gotten al forno entrées from here, but I would consider it now. I still think the cheesesteaks are OK, too. read more

The owner at Italian Village was awesome yesterday to my spouse and I when we ordered there for the first time.They do not deliver and he made an exception. We felt like royalty because he himself drove it to our complex, didn't accept a tip, and was so awesome. The food was great also and it was affordable compared to other places these days! read more

The grandma pizza was dope. I wish the sauce had a little more salt & herb flavor, but it was fantastic. Crunchy, hot, cheesy! I am excited to try other pizza, maybe I will stop by and check them out. The update should be fun. read more

Update is that the Cheesesteaks were one of the best out there but now they are just awful. Low amount of meat and tasteless bread is really all you get. New owners are killing the reputation this place once had. Pick it up guys because the food is almost un-edible now. read more

I'm going to start by saying I never leave reviews but I am very disappointed in this restaurant. since the ownership has changed, the portions and service have changed. they gave us the wrong order and when I called to tell them, they didn't want to hear me, put me on hold for 5 minutes and then didn't answer when I called again. I can say we won't be returning to this restaurant. read more

A total dub. They have a new girl working there and she doesn't like giving you back YOUR change, crazy plus the food doesn't taste good. Ever since the old owners left it's been downhill. I was trying to give this place a chance but this was the last time going there. R.I.P. Italian Village! read more

Where do I start.. Drove to the east end to see if pizza hut was open, wanted pan pizza but it was close. So I figure I'd give Italian village another shot, been some year. Ordered mozzarella sticks, they sucked..and so did the sauce (watery) And for the main course, the worse cheesesteak I've ever had. Kenny fried chicken quality bread smh. We are in JERSEY! The bread can make of break any sub! 3 Stars because the workers were nice read more

Pretty good pizza and good price for the area. They run a lower price, higher volume business which naturally results in fresher food. I've ordered numerous pizzas from here and a pastrami hero. All were good. For a consistently good tasting pizza from cheese to crust at a good price, this is a good place. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for years. It was amazing at its peak. Today I stopped in at lunch time and it looked like the place was about to close down. It was dark. The drink coolers were empty and the case had only 2 sad looking pizzas and nothing else. There were signs all over the windows for different special deals for everything but pizza. The pizza was tasteless. I am so disappointed but will have to find another place. read more

What I love about this place is that it is known for pizza but it is much more than that! There are so many great dinner or lunch options if you just aren't feeling pizza: lasagna, sandwiches, chicken parm, etc. The best part is that they don't just have more options, they also make them quite well. My dad and I got the lasagna, chicken parmesan, and side salads. I like a lot of sauce and both meals were doused in tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. The portions are massive so be prepared to have leftovers. I actually made 3 meals off of the lasagna alone! Crazy! My dad also made two meals off of the chicken parm and really liked it. My only complaint is that the salads were kind of soggy with wilted lettuce leaves. I still ate it and it was decent but not great. We got the food to go but sat inside waiting for it to be ready. It definitely has a classic pizza and sandwich place feel. The place was packed and some sports team had come in and taken up most of the tables. I would recommend this place if you want a pizza night or some classic Italian food without going to a fancy restaurant. read more

Last night before they closed, I ordered a buffalo chicken cheesesteak sub. I got lettuce and tomato on mine, and I didn't even need a drink because of how good it was! The Hot sauce & ranch didn't overpower anything, and it wasn't too packed when I opened the sub from the foil. I've been going to this place for years, ( I'm 23 yrs old) and they haven't disappointed me yet. Anytime y'all go here, tip them too, the restaurant deserves it, especially coming through with consistent, quality food! Sub was so good I came back today to order again, because I'm confident they won't disappoint! read more

Not as good as with the previous ownership. The Personality of the folks behind the counter, leaves a little bit to be desired. It used to be on wed- Sat. it would be packed. Everytime I go by it's just a few folks. I would rather support the food trucks, at least they are happy to see you. read more

I don't visit as often anymore. Many friendly faces have left and some of the dishes like my famous penne vodka are just not the same. I also noticed the portion size was less when I ordered. Wish the new staff was just as pleasant and friendly as the guys who worked there before. read more

Since the new owners have taken over the customer service and quality of the food decreased drastically.
