Stopped in for lunch today for two plain slices, The place seemed pretty nice, staff were friendly, pizza wasn't great I'd say it was a mix between Wawa pizza and digiorno frozen pizza, if you're looking for good pizza I would take the trip down to Reno's pizza definitely better. read more

Wonderful owners and a good.pie. Always busy. The old in and out. I never had anything else, but I'm certain it will/would be enjoyable.

Best food in the area, amazing staff. I usually stick to a favorite at a restaurant, but here I've had a dozen different dishes, every one as good as the other. Could not recommend more. read more

We were famished after a long hike so we pulled into the first decently reviewed place we came to, and almost turned back around when we saw the outside, but I'm so glad we didn't! This place is in a strip mall and the menu posted in the window was small and kind of random, but since we were starving we went in anyway. The inside was totally different than what I expected. This is a cute little family owned place with just a few tables, very causal, but also very clean and welcoming. Exactly what you'd hope for in an authentic Italian mom and pop stop. Turns out menu outside was just the specials, the full menu is HUGE. They have everything from upscale pasta dishes to sandwiches. I think even the biggest or pickiest groups would find something worth loving here. I was overwhelmed by all the choices but our server was incredibly helpful. She made several great suggestions, and told us details about preparation and serving sizes. We ended up ordering a rice ball and a series sandwich (like a chicken park but in a lighter sauce), both of which were massive and even with two people barely finished them. Both items were delicious, the bread seemed fresh, all warm and crunchy, while the rice ball was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. I can't imagine another time we'll be lost and hungry in this part of the world, but I pinned this little gem of a restaurant on my map so that if I'm passing through again I will remember to stop here! read more

I will start off by saying we usually love this place. really good dinners. This review is for there parm sandwiches. First the slice up the meat not full pieces. I ordered a veal parm. Had almost no veal in it. For that I will not go there for there parm sandwiches. I will keep ordering dinners there though. Put hey keep the meat whole so we know what we are getting PLAESE! read more

Best pizzeria in the area! The service is quick and staff is always super friendly and helpful.. pizza, wings, Stromboli and sandwiches are a must! They have great soup as well! read more

Everything I've ever had here has been wonderful. I've only been dealing with them for a little over a year but still, much better than previous places. read more

Amazing food, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere. I'm so comfortable and full now, that I need a nap. Thank you, La Forchetta!

On this rainy December day, @BigDudesBigFoods stopped for lunch in #WhartonNJ at @LaForchettaNJ We were attracted to the uniquely named delicious sandwiches. I got the #Baciagaloop and Joe got the #GodFather Between the two of us, we covered most of the meats on the Italian cold cuts spectrum. Both perfectly dressed with #FreshMozzarella , sliced tomatoes and #ExtraVirginOliveOil They were fantastic! We chose them over the Pesci, Stallone, Deniro, Pavarotti, Cruise, Michelangelo and Paulie Walnuts. #LaForchetta is a nice, little, NJ Italian restaurant in a Wharton strip mall with a very friendly and helpful crew. Nolberto Mejia and the La Forchetta familia took great care of us!!! It does not disappoint!! It's only been my second time here but I would bet on anything on the menu. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF #LifeIsFood @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday read more

Another place we love!!! Great calzones, salad, pizza, wings!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While we're in this "pandemic/no indoor dining" situation, my wife and I have been trying to order from as many local businesses as possible. Last Friday, we got takeout from La Forchetta for the first time. We ordered a large cheese pie, half a dozen garlic knots, and a side Caesar salad. Everything was very good! My only issue was that for a large pie, it was smaller than usual. The side salad was also very small, I should have just ordered a regular salad. The garlic knots were the opposite... they were huge and delicious! Bonus is that I found out that they deliver to my town. I'll keep them in my takeout rotation! read more

La Forchetta - First time here! - Pizza Near Me - Wharton, New Jersey

Pizza is great, tastes really good, and there are a variety of toppings and pizza flavor to chose from. In addition, La Forchetta serves sandwiches, subs, rice balls, and delicious garlic knots. My favorite thing is that sometimes have chicken or beef empanadas. Service is really great considering this is a pizzeria. If you stay for dinner, they will serve well and be attentive to your needs. The servers are super friendly. Most of the staff is bilingual and speak Spanish too. The ambiance is well lit, the place is clean, and not too crowded. They deliver if you live around the Wharton vicinity or closer. read more

We love this restaurant. We've lived in Wharton for a while, and we are exclusive to this restaurant.

They care about the food and it shows! ordered calzones, wings, and the antipasto- it all was delicious!

We had La Forchetta cater a special lunch that we had to show our gratitude for full time bible teachers in our congregation. The food was absolutely perfect. Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parm, Penne Vodka, Caesar Salad, Tossed Salad...I cannot find one complaint. It truly was perfect. Being around the food business for 51 years, I've learned how much work it takes to do what La Forchetta does...so I want to thank you for serving Top Rate food!!! Thank you, Tom JW.ORG read more

Wow! We just ordered lunch from where I work and I am blown away! I ordered The Shield sandwich, breaded eggplant, bruschetta, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, all the ingredients were fresh, so tasty and the bread tasted like it was just made from a brick oven. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. My friends had the buffalo chicken salad and the chefs salad, all fantastic. I cannot wait to order here again! read more

Found this little spot and it's a regular now. Great food, good service. Small inside about 6 tables. They do have pizza by the slice ready to go also. read more

Excellent Italian food with terrific coffee. We had a variety of dishes, including pizza, and it was all superb.

This pizzeria is truly fantastic. It's my go to spot for when I'm feeling the urge for Italian food. I have tried so many things on the menu (it's kind of embarrassing how many times I've been here!), including garlic knots, mozzarella sticks, Caprese pizza, Margherita pizza, chocolate mousse cake, fries, etc! EVERYTHING is delicious. You really can't go wrong here. Whenever I have guests over from out of state who want local "New Jersey" food, I take them here. It's close by and very reasonably priced. Do yourself a favor and avoid Domino's or Pizza Hut when you want pizza. For 12 bucks, you can get a big authentic personal pizza, any style you want! read more

Pretty good food. I like the Arugula Salad with Grilled Chicken & the Angel Hair with Jumbo shrimp in a light tomato sauce. The chicken soup is good too. read more

Excellent service, fast delivery, great pizza, amazing vodka sauce. We order at least once a week.

I've never been to a place that is sooooo cheap with their ketchup packets. Every time I ask for extra ketchup the mother and son give you a dirty look. I was a great customer. 2 to 3 times a week. I haven't been back in 2 months. They lost a good customer over ketchup packets. i'd rather spend my money somewhere else. read more

Food is always tasty, pizza with sausage and onion is our go to, and it never disappoints. Friendly service

I was really excited to try this place and I just moved into the area but was a little disappointed with the Eggplant Parmigiana dinner. It didn't seem like the eggplant was breaded, and if it was, it was a very very thin layer. I also don't think it was made with ricotta cheese since there was a thick layer of cheese on top. Definitely not the traditional eggplant I was looking for. I may return for a chicken dish but I wouldn't go for a pasta/sauce dish. read more

Although I live In Wharton I've never gotten around to try this restaurant until today. There were 5 of us and we were all pleased with our meals to say the least. First, the staff was very pleasant and accommodating. For appetizers we ordered garlic bread, fried calamari, and some buffalo wings. All the starters were fresh and very flavorful. For lunch two of the guests had special salads, another a meatball parm sandwich, another a traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and as for myself I had one of their gourmet sandwiches - 'The Godfather'. Every entree was fresh and delicious. Bottom line everyone enjoyed their meal with all saying they would definitely return. read more

I had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was delish. I recommend it. I ordered with sausage but felt the sausage was overcooked and had hard edges.. read more

This place is a great go to place for the basics. I will go back and try the pasta dishes when I can and the have I will change my rating. The pizza is good and cheesy. The meatball patn had crusty bread .. always a bonus! The meatballs were soft and the sauce was tasty . read more

Anna Marie and Joe are back!!! That is all that needs to be said really. I'm looking forward to the buffalo chicken pizza, Brooklyn sandwich, rice balls eggplant parm, and pasta fagioli again! I know you are too! read more

I was visiting Rockaway for the weekend and had a craving for some Italian food while in the area. For the price, quality and quantity you can't beat this! We tried two pastas (spaghetti bolognese with meatballs, baked ziti) and they were delicious! Pickup was hot and ready and the promised time. read more

We had the most wonderful meal delivered today as an anniversary surprise, and the food was phenomenal. I had a ziti in bolognese sauce that was fantastic. A new thing that we tried was penne with eggplant and mozzarella. I never knew eggplant could be so tasty, and will most definitely order this again. A special treat was a cheesy garlic bread. Lots and lots of cheese and perfectly done. The side salads were very fresh and cold, as they should be, and the balsamic dressing was high quality. Dessert was a tiramisu. Creamy, fresh and perfect with a ripe, sweet strawberry as a pretty touch. We have had pizza many times from here, and it is always great as well. They have seating inside if you prefer to eat there, but definitely give this place a try if you haven't already. 2019- I have to say again that the food here is wonderful. They deliver locally if you can't drive there yourself and the people are polite and hardworking and make the customer feel like their order is important. read more

Nice, New Jersey-style pizzeria conveniently located off of 80 and 15 near the Arsenal. Ordered the escarole and bean soup and a slice of pizza. The soup was very good and tasted to be homemade. It was large enough that, with some bread, would have been almost a meal by itself. I also grabbed a slice of the plain pizza which was also very good. Plenty of tables to sit at and the service was attentive. read more

Authentic italian food! Had a rice ball and it had peas and ground beef, just like homemade! Next up The Shield Sandwich which had breaded eggplant, bruschetta tomatos,fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, arugula & balsamic drizzle. This sandwich was the bomb....in other words AWESOME. The bread was perfect too. Service right off the bat was very attentive, not overbearing at all & the table was always clean and glasses always filled! This is a great Italian restaurant, I can't wait to come back here to try more dishes. A wonderful find in Wharton! read more

Good food and friendly service. Prices are a bit too high like every other place in the area and if you order delivery you wait a long time to get your delivery (wow) and I live 2.blocks away from the establishment. Like most places, the quality of the food is bad and the prices are high. This place is good, the prices are high. read more

Just moved to Wharton and started ordering delivery from them. Gentleman who took the order on the phone was friendly, helpful, and patient. Not in a rush to get your off and you off the phone like most places. Everything I have tried from here has been great, but this Rasberry bomb dessert was definitely the best part. And the presentation of it, even though it was a delivery, was beautiful! It even got there still cold and not melted which is impressive. Cant wait to go there and dine in! read more

Great Food - we had our holiday luncheon catered by La Forchetta - and it was delicious. We enjoyed the penne vodka, shrimp in garlic sauce, meatballs, chicken pizzaiolia and so much more! Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. Thank you, La Forchetta for a great meal! read more

We ordered 7 pizzas for the employees today. They arrived at the time I requested and everyone was pleased with their lunch. We provided lunch for our employees at Metro Flag as a reward for working so hard to make the flags for Veteran Cemeteries for Memorial Day. Will definitely order from here again. read more

Fantastic pizza. No skimping on toppings. I don't know if it's the thin crust or the sauce, but this pizza is addictive! Sides are all great, too. Love the garlic mozzarella bread and wings. Easy online ordering. This is our new go-to pizza place. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered delivery since I was in Wharton,NJ. Ordered eggplant parm, chicken with spinach, calamari, bruschetta, chicken with salad, and cheese pizza. Pizza was a lot smaller than I thought it would be when I ordered through yelp. Calamari was surprisingly good and soft-not chewy at all. The chicken with fontina cheese and spinach with penne had a lemony taste to it. Chicken fingers and fries were good- although the breading on the fingers was a bit hard.... I'd definitely order from here again :) read more
