    Rice ball the size of a softball.
    Rey S.

    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!

    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

    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!

    Personal 12" Caprese Pizza. This was UHHMAZING!

The crust is fairly thin & crispy, just how I like it . I've tried a variety of items here but the buffalo chicken slice is most definitely the best. I've had their wings, french fries, mozzarella sticks & zepollis as well as various pizza slices. The sauce on the regular pizza slices is rather bland as are the wings. The specialty slices (buffalo & chicken bacon ranch) were tasty. The zeppollis are on the smaller side making them easy to eat; you get about 14 in an order. All & all this place is worth stopping in to grab a quick bite.

    A new experience with my wife (who commented below) at the new pizza spot in Mine Hill…read more Food: she got a chicken Caesar slice, and I got a plain and buffalo chicken. The first thing to note is that the slices are noticeably bigger. The plane was a little greasy, but it was the perfect thin crust. The chicken Caesar was really interesting in a relaxing type of way, and the buffalo chicken was very solid. Service: the gentleman who helped us was really nice, he took our order and brought our food to our table, which is slightly unusual for a pizza spot. Aesthetic: very sizable with a cool café/cappuccino bar in the back which isn't currently being utilized from what I can see.

The chicken was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The meal came with fresh bread, olive oil, and pesto, which was a nice bonus. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, too.

Not that there's anything wrong with that! We started with the fried calamari and it was very good. Calamari tasted fresh, seasoned perfectly and the marinara was delicious. I prefer crispier calamari but this was definitely a 3.5/5. My partner had the chicken Marsala over penne and the flavor was really good. My only criticism would be that the sauce looks very muddy. Maybe a teaspoon of marinara to give it a little color and a little acid. Otherwise it was very good. Fresh mushrooms thank goodness not canned, chicken was tender and the penne wasn't overcooked. She said she would order it again. I ordered the thin crust pizza well done and I really was blown away. Born and raised in the Bronx makes me a self appointed pizza expert and this pie did not disappoint! I downed three slices and would have had another but my stomach was finally winning the argument with my brain. The service was actually excellent. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, connected with her guests and absolutely added to the positive vibe we were experiencing here. Overall I think I found my pizza spot finally and we will definitely be going back. I highly recommend.

It's up to par with the best pizza joints in this area. We got buffalo wings and I was ecstatic that he kept the wings "naked" and put the sauce on the side. I find when there sauce is on the side, the wings stay crispier and I don't mind dipping so it was cool we received it this way. Could've been a fluke but all I know is if we get wings for delivery, they're always a little bit soggy due to the sauce on them and this isn't the case here. The garlic bread with cheese was okay as well. Didn't really taste much of the garlic but could be because I'm a garlic lover.

You can order online and also through the Slice app (this app is free and using it helps local independent pizza places such as this one save money). We ordered a pizza, baked ziti, a side of meatballs, and a large garden salad and everything was delivered promptly, hot, and fresh by a friendly delivery man. The pizza sauce they use is very good, the baked ziti was hot and cheesy with just the right amount of sauce, and the meatballs were very good and came with plenty of yummy marinara sauce. When I'm back in my old stomping ground again I will definitely order from here again. OH, DID I MENTION THE DELIVERY IS FREE?!!!!! That's right! I can't wait to try their hot and cold sandwiches and other items on the menu. Give Tony's a try!! This location is their second restaurant- they have another pizzeria on Green Pond Rd. in Rockaway and I have not yet tried the food there. I'll update this review once I've ordered again!! Happy eating!!!
